California Eagle

COMMENDS CALIF. EAGLE VOLUME 42 I have read with great Interest, Mr. Louis Michel's article published in your progressive newspaper, The California Eagle, of October 5th, 1928. What he says with reference to the political duty of our people as citizens and the many logical and convincing reasons why we as a race should vote for Governor Alfred E. Smith for President in this campaign. That it is time that we as a neglected race should try some other political party. All of which is timely and true. It is useless to look to the Republican party any longer, common sense, reason and expediency not only forbid but prove conclusively that it is the height of folly for the Negro to expect justice at the hands of a political party that has lost faith in itself, for they are no longer the party of the people. The leaders of the G. O. P. are no longer interested in the protection of the common people. They have gone after strange gods. They are worshiping the golden calf. They do not seem to know that no creature is greater than its creator. They don't understand that the business of a political party is to honestly represent the people. The present day Republican party leaders with but few exceptions are the most unrateful of any party that ever existed. For fifty years we have loyalty voted for and supported that party and what we have to show for it? Certainly not the representation in the party and today we find ourselves disfranchised. Jimcrowed, segregated and discriminated against worst of all by the same party we have so faithfully served. Since President McKinley's time, the leaders of the party, with the single exception of Mr. Roosevelt, have used the Negro as a pawn to break the solid South in all their dirty dealings and barter with the solid South. They have made no more impression upon it than one could make with the tips of their fingers upon the tide of the Pacific ocean. Why? Because the leaders of the party are constantly running around in a circle, trying to break the solid South and can't seem to understand why they don't get anywhere. The Negro holds the key to this political puzzle and he only can bring about the desired change. I believe that the great exodus of Negroes in the doubtful states of the North from the Republican camps to the Democratic party in this campaign is providential. They are leaving the Republican party by the thousands. "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." It is true the Republican party struck the shackles from the former bondsmen and brought all labor to a common level, but not so much by elevating the former slaves as by practically reducing the whole working population to a state of serfdom. I thank Louis Michel from the depth of my heart for every generous impulse and advanced thought he has ever written or spoken in the interest of our race and I am sure when I say so, I express the sentiment of the intelligent and progressive men and women of our race generally. I thank you too, Mrs. Bass, for your womanly courage, love and devotion to your race. Do not fear that the enemies of our race will ever be permitted to tear a leaf frm the Magna Charta of American Liberty especially the 14th and 15th Amendments, because they are the most sacred and righteous part of that immortal document and were put there by the greatest lovers of freedom in modern history. They will stand the storms of strife and conflict throughout all ages. The day will come when these amendments will be respected by all, both North and South and be rigidly enforced by our National Government. The men who were responsible for them were the most farseeing statesmen of extraordinary ability and vision, the last of their glorious tribe. They will go down in our history as the saviors of our government. There are only one or two ingress the Republican party, today, that are worthy of being classed with them as constructive statesmen of first magnitude; unfortunately for our race and the Republican party as well, they are not in the highest places of party council. The white people of the South will never vote for the Republican Party. There was a time when it was to their best interest to do so, but that time has passed long since. Some of the border states, West Virginia and Tennessee have gone Republican in the past, but not on principles, but because of political differences of some of their leading statesmen who were SMASH AMENDMENT No.5 VOTE TO SMASH AMENDMENT NO.5 Born in iniquity and foisted upon an unsuspecting public the proposed Amendment No. 5 which would do away with contests in the boxing arena of ten rounds duration and substitute therefor the four round contest to be participated in solely by amateurs. This situation would bring back to the State the hypocritical conditions which existed prior to the legalizing of ten round contests under State supervision. It will bring back conditions of fraud and deceit, for it is a well known fact in the days of four round boxing the amateur provision was a fake, it was universally a contest of professionals under the cloak of the amateur. Prizes could only be given. This was also a fake and made the law a huge farce. INTOLERANCE, HATE AND PREJUDICE The Low Angeles Examiner in its attitude of holder than thou, with its wait of intolerance, prejudice and hate recruited the divines of the state and they in turn in un-Christian spirit, with venom and hate gained momentum to rob even the world's war veterans of their stipend by repealing the present law, and for what? Simply because one George Godfrey with a dark skin out-boxed and whipped Paulino Uxendun in a fair contest of boxing at Wrigley Field. Prior to this incident not a mumbling word had come from this great moral harbinger of deds of conquest and valor—the Los Angeles Examiner. As a matter of fact it was the greatest advocate for physical contest of all the metropolitan papers in the entire country. We hold that in the face of this situation, the fair-minded citizens of all races should revolt and not become a party to the dethronement of physical prowess, just to please the makers of prejudice, intolerance and hatred. To those who admire physical endurance, skill, stamina and science, we should be willing for them to have a break and keep on enjoying the sport. Fair and cosmopolitan California is by right first as much entitled to the pleasure of scientific boxing under State Supervision as any of the other great and progressive states of the Union, like New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, in fact 90 per cent or all the states of this Union. And for God's sake, it occasion would ever come to repeal our present law let's get together and do so on some other ground than that which caused the Examiner to go into hysterics because a black man whipped one of another race in a fair contest. All peoples who stand for justice and fair play will do well not to forget to vote NO on NUMBER 5 at the ballot box on November 6. Taborian Contest, October 30th To the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, California and Arizona Jurisdiction, International Order of 12, GREETING: Permit me to remind you of the fact, that the Taborian Popularity Contest closes Oct. 30th at Masonic Hall, 1209 1-2 Central avenue.

C. FLINT. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, OCTOBER-19-1928 Mrs. Bethime Called By American Red Cross Daytona Beach, Fla., Oct. 19—Mrs. (By The Associated Negro Press) Mary Meleed Bethune, president of Bethune-Iokman College, who has given valuable service in the organization, relief, and rehabilitation work among the Negroes of the storm-strike en area of Florida, was called to West Palm Beach by wire, Staundray by A. L. Schaeffer, Director of the American Red Cross work of that section. The meeting of Red Cross officials and Negro leaders was held for the purpose of working out the most effective possible program for the work of rehabilitation. A strong, reorganized committee made up of Negroes of the section was appointed and Mrs. Bethune was asked to serve as an advisory ex-officio member. In connection with the general work, Mrs. Bethune gives the following statement to the public: "I have been made to feel that the seed-owing for justice and equal opportunity for all of these years is beginning to bring forth real fruit. It has not been demonstrated more clearly in any of my contacts with individuals or groups in any emergency more clearly than it is being demonstrated in the devastated district of Florida. I have found, after close observation both in public work and private conferences, that the purpose and aim of the National Red Cross is to deal fairly and squally with the persons who are in need, regardless of class, creed, or color. In the instances of the case workers, secretaries and canteen workers with whom I came in contact, a spirit of fair play, sympathy and unbiased judgment and dealings with all the people, was evident. I have, up to this point, detected no discrimination whatever, but rather an enthusiastic desire to supply the needs of the people as rapidly as possible, on the basis of equality for all. At the end of this week all refugees will be placed in individual tents where the families may be together, yet under the protection of the Red Cross until permanent rehabilitation is effected. "I am very happy in being called by the head of the National Red Cross Mr. Schaeffer, and his assistant, Mr. Wessellus, into close cooperative work in the completion of this program. We have, however a great task to perform and it seems difficult to get over to the masses and families the information as to the channels through which their help must come. We find many impatient, some complaining. I do want to conguatulate the National Red Cross for the ecorts that are being put forth in working out the immediate needs of the people and the rehabilitation of the area on a purely and individuals all over the country for the contributions they are sending in, and to express my appreciation to the newspapers for the unbiased versions of the situation that they are giving to the public. There is a big human need in Florida—a big task to be performed. The meeting with the officials of the American Red Cross was for the purpose of reorganizing the Colored Committee for the rehabilitation work and in order that we may reach the surrounding areas such as Delray Deerfield, Pahokee, Bellglade, and others. The committee is as follows: U. A. Ridley, Chairman; W. H. Collie Secretary; S. C. Spady, Delray, Vice chairman; Dr. A. P. Holly; Prof. Ede尔field; Mrs. Johnson of West Palm Beach; Dr. Hodges and Mary McLeod Bethune, advisory, ex-officio It is hoped that every one of the Contestants will be present on this date with your money and remainder of your Coupon Books. Come prepared to turn them in at this time. Remember, as I told you in the outset, the one raising the largest amount of money, over 25 will win the First prize, the one raising the next amount over $25 wins the Second prize, and the one raising the smallest amount over $25 receives the Third prize. The Public in general is invited out Falls From Mule Team; Feet Broken Mr. Scottie Johnson, of 1654 E. 50th St., while driving a team of mules last Monday, October 15th, met with a serious accident when the mules became frightened and ran amuck throwing Mr. Johnson beneath the wheels of the cart, breaking the bones in his feet. Mr. Johnson is being tenderly nursed back to normality by his wife, Mrs. Beulah Johnson at their home in E. 50th St. The many friends of the Johnsons, who know and admire them as do the management of this publication, hope that this accident sustained by Mr. Johnson will not be serious; for while this couple has never figured conspicuously in the limelight, they repelling element that make for genuine resent a part of that sturdy, unassum- progress in any community. Women See Salvation of Race in Economic Progress The meetings of the Pyramid Cooperative Association, now held every Thursday night at Tabernacle Baptist church, Hennock street near 12th, are still meeting the approval of the public. In fact the fair sex have become so much interested in the plans and purposes of the above organization that they have organized themselves into a Ladies Auxiliary. The Auxiliary, under the leadership of Mrs. Gallerson is entering upon an intensive membership drive. They with the officers and members of the Pyramid, are determined to open the doors o the first of their chain of food stores not later than December 1st. The reader might wonder why the women folks seem more interested than the men. Well, there are many reasons. As one of the members put it, "The women cannot much longer bear children and at the same time arise from their beds at 5 o'clock in the morning preparatory to a trip to Hollywood or elsewhere, to support the family." Something must be done to provide employment for the men, and since all of us are dependent upon business for our livelihood, the women see no reason why Negroes should not enter business on a large scale. In this way the race will have the business and the employment. Very simple. The wonder is not why are the ladies interested in the Pyramid's welfare plan, but why have we not taken coordinate action for the economic betterment of the masses twenty-five years ago. Well, there is a beginning to everything. The economic plan of the Pyramid Cooperative Association is the beginning of a new and better life for the masses in that its program of production, marketing and distribution of the necessities of life, is the basis of our present day civilization. Small wonder that the women are enthused. You'd be 'too' if you attend only one meeting of the Pyramid. Men folks! The women have spoken. Let's ACT. to see who the most popular Contestant will be. All Sir Knights and Daughters are cordially invited to be present and take part in this entertainment. Every Temple and Tabernacle in the city and nar-by cities will be expected to assemble at the hall on this occasion, and pay your respect to this noble effort. Yours for 500 New Members, W. L. MARTIN, Chief Grand Master Chief Grand Mentor. Commercial Council of So. L. A. Holds Huge Hoover-Smith Debate Macedonia Baptist Church, South Los Angeles (Watts) was jammed to hear the joint debate between Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass For A Smith and Rev J. F. C. Taylor for Hoover and Curtis. This great organization always has a good attendance, but the big debate was a super attraction which brought the great crowd out. If the result of the debate could be decided by the applause of the people, Smith would be way out in the lead, as point after point, which the first speaker, Mrs. Bass, made, was received with prolonged and vociferous applause. Rev. Taylar, veteran retired minister and able exponent was on the Hoover end of the debate. Rev. Taylar is no novice and comes pretty near knowing what he is talking about and he is one minister who holds the eternal respect and confidence of all who know him. He has retired but came forth on this occasion to hold up the banner for the Republican cause. However, against Mrs. Bass, he was battling the winds, all of his fine flights of rhetoric and telling points went for naught and he cautioned his hearers—"You may not applaud what I say, but I am telling the truth just the same." Quite a deal of enthusiasm was manifest. Mrs. Bass shouted—"Lincoln, Garrison, Sumner, et al, are dead, we are not dealing in corpse today! The old Republican river is clogged up, we must dynamite in order to clear the stream and allow the water to run pure." One of the auditors got excited and challenged to Smith people to go with her to Georgia, Alabama, Texas, see things as they are and then come back and see if they would vote for the Democrats. She stated when she was sick, she wanted a Republican doctor; if she died, a Republican undertaker and to be buried in a Republican cemetery. Albeit the meeting was a remarkable one, and everything went on in a fair and orderly manner. It was a straw of the growing sentiment for Smith in this locality. Ministers Entertained In Big Banquet GOV. YOUNG SPEAKER Through the efforts of Assemblyman F. M. Roberts who has charge of the activities of the Republican canpaign in this section a conference was arranged with the ministers and held at the Republica Cafe on last Tuesday at 2 o'clock P. M. Quite twenty-five leading clergymen responded to the call. Governor C. C. Young was present and although this contact, a movement for greater recognition for the group is looked for. Recognizing the ministry as perhaps the most compelling force in leadership, Mr. Roberts's first movement in this direction was gratifying indeed. Resolutions were passed endorsing Hoover and Curtis, urging the group to get out a 100 per cent vote. The address of the Governor was reassuring and the various speeches were timely. It was a most successful and optimistic affair, which promises to enlargen as time passed and develop into a proposition for much good for our group. Mrs. Ruby Watson, 209 E. Vernon, died at Dunbar Hospital, Oct. 15th after 5 days' illness of pneumonia. The funeral was held at Connor-Johnson 3 P. M. Wednesday, 11th, the body being sent to Denver to her mother and father. Mrs. Watson laves also a host of friends who mourn her untimely passing. "Hoover and Smith"- How Should the Negro Vote? Bishop C. H. Phillips, D. D., of Cleveland, Ohio. A member of the Negro Division of the Republican National Committee, and Presiding Bishop over Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona, California and all over the Pacific Shope will speak on the above menton subject, Sunday evening, Oct. 21st at 8 o'clock at Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church, 42nd and Wadsworth Sts. Bishop Phillips versions on national issues are safe and sound. Come and judge for yourself. BADLY BURNED WHEN BOILER EXPLODER Mr. Geo. Burleson who has charge of the mechanical department of the Triangle Service Station located at 9th and Central Ave., was severely burned about the face and arms on last Sunday morning while in the act or lightning a gas heated water tank; it exploded, knocking him to the ground. First medical aid was given him at the Georgia emergency hospital al. He is now out of danger convalescing.

Instead of gathering news that interest the readers they get news that pleases their own fancy and furthermore after gathering the news instead of telling it in simple, easily read English, when, where, and how it happened, they set out to give their own opinions using as a rule the largest words in their vocabularies or the most easily obtainable dictionary or encyclopedia. It takes a long time to reach that state of development wherein we are capable of truly expressing an opinion. Of course some of us, like fools, rush in where angels dare not tread. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY in and out of the State will have to bring something more to pass than serving our ministers with chicken dinners as pre-election compliments. There are those in this campaign whom we have always had with us, and they sobbingly tell us that all we have ever had and ever hope to have came from the Republican or Lincoln Party. Well, Lincoln, et al., of the original Republican who stood for the principles of liberty and fair play for all men are deed and with them died the principles upon which the Republican Party was founded. They tell us that it was the Republican Party that gave us our freedom—What of that? If a man steals a horse and works him unceasingly until the owner of the animal discovers his property and claims him; certainly there is no honor attached to giving up that which did not belong in the first place to the thief—and yet this is what happened to the Black American. He was over here alright with the first comers. The only difference being that he came bound while others were free. After laboring for two hundred and fifty years, for which he received no compensation, American Pharoahs, after much bloodshed (the Negro also spilling his bood along with others) decided to let him go. Now, after some sixty years after this transaction that should be forgotten by all concerned, Republican enthusiasts—Black as well as White—are ranting around about Negro loyalty to the party that set them free. The real people of African descent in this country, even though they were held in bondage for a period, were never slaves at heart, and can conceive no cause for being grateful to any political party even if it were willing to give up what it never owned. So long as the white man is able to keep the Negro divided in politics and every other kof life, just so long will the Negro be his economic slave. WE AS A GROUP should strive to make Central Avenue and the East Side territory adjacent to it, the wonder spot in our progress. The old year is rapidly coming to a close, so let us begin preparation now, for the final tap of the gong that declares 1928 past history and 1829 the beginning of a new period of progress. Strangers coming to Los Angeles for the first time seeking the true expression of the Negro's creation in his commercial, religious and social life, turns necessarily to Central Avenue. Then why point a finger of scorn at what you have helped to create? The sculpturer, at the outset, shapes and fashions his clay, hoping to create his vision, but it is often necessary for him to tear down and rebuild until he has perfected his ideal in clay. If Central Avenue is not what it should be then let us do some re-building. THINGS POLITICAL are certainly happening. A few months ago when Senator Madden dropped his terrestrial mantel to take on the celestial, it was conceded by those wise ones who keep their eyes centered on current political activities that Oscar DePriest had caught the mantel dropped by Senator Madden, and that he (DePriest) was marching on to Congress. The campaign is well on the way, but it seems that our Republican friends are playing the same hidden hand with DePriest that harried Ben Davis from his cherished seat of Georgia Committeeman, appointed Perry Howard for baptism behind prison walls, and bowed the head and shoulders of that once proud "Bob" Church. Oh, ye Republicans of dark deeds, how can you look the Black Man in the face, and say you are his friend. Well, anyhow the Black Folk have decided to try "Al Smith this time— SS ASSN SaNaa eeieh leanne anatase les ta tare tsar ISSN S A ; PROMISES MAY BE ATTRACTIVE, BUT - - - ties 9 THEY DON’T BUY SHOES For The BABY! : T’S just too bad that we can’t follow our inclinations sometimes, and go over the hill looking for greener i pastures.

Meanwhile reports indicated a growing strength of Mr. Bean's cam- paign in our group, many volunteer workers being added to his campaigg forces foliowing his courageous stan in the borrd of Supervisors against discrimination of our race in obtain- ing employment in the camp to be erected for the construction of the San Gabriel dam.

Albert Moore to the First A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma streets, and the people of Los Angeles as a whole brought from the people of the church and the city expressions and action in no uncertain terms. The members of the PETER Rev. I. A. Moore church who have the right of petition through chosen representatives elected Prof. J. C. Banks to represent them in the Annual Conference, and in a members meeting unanimously petitioned the return of the Rev. Mr. Moore as their pastor. A host of friends sent in expressions of good will on the closing Sunday of the year. As a result of such encouragement and support the pastor went to the conference in high spirits and made the biggest report of his pastorate in this city and returns in that same high spirit. If there is anything in the signs of the times this year bids fair to be the greatest of all previous years for Zion. Sunday is the beginning of the new conference year. The church invites her many friends to worship with her. The pastor is a wide-awake, constructive gospel preacher. A day spent in the services at the A. M. E. Zion Church is time well spent.

Pri Very Prominent Educator Weds An outstanding event of the week in Colored Society was the marriage of Miss E. Gertrude Chrisman, well-known local teacher and Mrs. Joseph P. George, for years engaged as a labor contractor in the care of some of the city's finest buildings. Many of our present successful business and professional men owe their start along the line of progress to the work and also to the helpful advice while at work given them by Mr. George. Miss Chrisman has the Americanization work of one of the city's large foreign schools under hr supervision and as yet has made no plans for discontinuing her service along this line. The beautiful ring ceremony was used at the marriage service. Rev. J. D. Gordon of Tabernacle Baptist Church, assisted by Father W. T. Cleggborn of St. Phillips Episcopal Church officiated. Mrs. Osborne Delter entertained Dr. and Mrs. Bailey last Tuesday morning with a farewell breakfast in her beautiful apartment, 914 E. 41st St. The table was elaborately decorated with American beauty rose buds. Covers were laid for eight. The rest of the morning was spent playing bridge until his departure at two o'clock for San Diego, where Mrs. Bailey will join him later. The bride, gowned in a lovely delft blue velver creation was attended by her sister, Mrs. Laura Christman Porter and given in marriage by her cousin, Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon. Only the families of the contracting parties and a few very intimate friends of long years standing witnessed the marriage.

GILPIN Supported By An All Star Colored Cast Roberson Reception On Thursday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. James Roberson of N. Westlake Avenue entertained with a reception in honor of their grandson Leon Whitaker. It seemed as if all the West Temple folk were invited and some of the Eastside too. Over 100 guests overflowed the house, built by Jim Roberson himself into the chilly air. Old timers, some with canes, and young folks, were gathered to honor one of themselves who had pulled himself up by his boot straps, to embark upon the work of his chosen profession. Receiving were Mrs. Elizabeth Bowie, Mrs. Winona McInnis, and Mrs. Ross Jones. There were loads of testy refreshments. The famous cake bakers of the neighborhood had prepared fifteen cakes for the occasion, cooked in the true characteristic style of the kitchen overseers of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. The sumptuous helpings and re-helpings of chicken salad cured the demands and appetites of the most fastidious Epicure, The potatoe salad raised the humble vegetable to heights hitherto undreamed. Generous portions of ice cream carried one back to the farm feasts of the Old South. The punch was no mere colored and flavored water; but the real fruit and spices reminded us of smiliar gatherings of other places thirty years ago. Supervising the kitchen were Mrs. Sallie Grisson, Mrs. Hubbard, Mrs. Eleza Walker, and Mrs. Katie Williams, Mrs Powell was chief functionary of the punch bowl. Mrs. Bertha Hines, organist of pleasant Hill Baptist Church, presided at the old and mellow piano. Mrs. Lula Mae Wilson and Miss Hortense Randall, favored us with colorful and beautiful solos, each to be imposed upon for encore after encors. Mr. Engene Hines was the medium of that inspired an dinspiring reading. "The Man Who Delivers The Goods." Mrs. Cassie Smith extolls the many virtues of work in her reading, "The Creative Power of Labor." Mr. Brandon placed the young lawyer in a ticklish position by charging-shim with the duty of "being always truthful." Mr. Jim Roberson took the honors by a pointed illustration of the race's progress and an introduction of his grandson. Mr. Whitaker spoke a few words, shaking his hearers with laughter by explaining that he would follow Brother Brandon's demand for "truth at all times" as far as was consistent with the proper duty of the lawyer to his client. Mrs. J. M. Edwards of the Federated Clubs, brought the program to a close with remarks of commendation and well wishes for the young attorney. Just before midnight the guests departed, heaping praises upon that hostess extraordinary, Miss Bessie Barron, for her wonderful planning and management, upon the Pleasant Hill Missionary, for their cheerful help, and upon the young laides of the neighborhood for their admirable serving. The departing guests also left a word of good luck and Godspeed to Attorney Whitaker upon his long and stony voyage of public service. The new management at 15th and Main is alive to the best interest of patrons in furnishing fist-class music and whatever else is needed in making the old dance mart at 15th and Main a real pleasure resort.

HOOTS OF THE OWL Talk about California earth, quakes, they are nothing compared to the "Party-Quake" that the two campaigning candidates are causing at present in the United States. Right here in Los Angeles police captains and sheriff's deputies are being ousted. Chief Davis denies as having stated, "Practically the whole town has been invaded by immoral resort keepers," and that, "sections of the city are dizzy rivals of the most lurid houses of illfame," but I see later a raid was made on a Main street apartment house, after which a theatre was also raided, which proves that if Mr. Davies didn't make the statement as credited, to him, he should have, as some kind editor tried to prove by virtually putting the words in the Chief's mouth. (It looks to me as if Deputy Chief Clyde Plummer is attempting to do some house cleaning after all.) From the amount of people dying from poisoned liquor, I would judge that the next war will be fought from the still. See where President Coolidge talked with the King of Spain.

After the session and review, remarks were made by the Pastor. The morning services were excellent with Pastor Curtis at his post of duty, selecting for his text, "11th verse of the 5th chapter of the book of Job."

The pastor so aptfully outlined to us our duty and obligation we owe to our children, developing their talents, thus making them useful in their churches and communities. In the afternoon the B. Y. P. U. indulged in their Sohail Hour Luncheon from 5:30 to 6 o'clock. Over 100 adults and children were served sandwiches, punch and cake. This was indeed a very nice affair, sponsored by the B. Y. P.

HYDE The nations of the earth are all in an upheaval in endless reversion of peace treaties, and international conferences, to the end that they might exterminate constant warfare among the nations, through their League of Nations and their World International Court. To this grave problem, there are millions of uninformed men and women of the dark races who were not as much thought of, and the least to be consulted; of which The Negro race is in majority. "Looking through Garvey's Eye" has caused the scale of supposition to fall from the eyes of "The Twentieth Century Negro" and caused him to see himself as he really is a him sose himself as he really is (a cesmopolitan) National of no particular group, and citizen of The World. What a sad state of affairs to think of and again not so deplorable, when compared with the first law of nature: "Self Preservation." Looking through Garvey's Eye—one can see that the Negro's political and national status is yet in the making, true enough he has, under severe and meagre environments, gained the required intelligence, he has initiative, enough to give to the world through the school of experience a better form of Democratic government than any other preceding race; but where to exert his mental power in establishing himself a government? To think of himself such a national prestige that would bring him in alliance as a race. Within the national administration of another race. The thought is more preposterous than pernicious." "Looking Through Garvey's Eye." The thoughtful Negro has realized the inconsistency of look forward to the time when America with its "Keep the White Spot White"—program England with her royal blooded ancestry, Italy with her Black Ragalia of Fascism, Russia with her Red Anarchist. Liberals will be governed or dictated to by any two separate groups or races is an absurdity and beyond all human expectation. This being a universally known fact without fear of contradictin then the race in obedience to natural law as in the strug gle of the survival of the fittest must make a daring dash in search for some destination in order to provide for their future posterity. Looking Thru Garvey's Eye—the awakened Negro has acknowledged that Africa is the home of his originality and his country by divine Providence, just as America were the home of the Indians and if the report of the Bureau on Scientific Research is true in its last yearly report, that there will hardly be standing room in America in the next hundred years then its time now that he be preparing for the great calamity of which his race will be the chiefest of the victus. The answer?-With the knowledge of knowing that Africa affords more than one-third of the earth's are, two-third of which is undisturbed by man, the race loving Negro has decided that in Africa there's plenty of room for the establishing of his own government and for the expansion of his intellect and for the preservation of his posterity to follow.

What with Pennsylvan and Massachusetts flirting with the "Don or strongholds of the Republican party GONFIDENCE Successful progress needs a destination that is worth while and worth seeking after. Confidence in such a goal is the main spring of ambition, and without it work is barren and good intention is wasted. If zeal for a final goal be linked to some clear vision of it, our labors are full of hope and our progress keeps race with our growth and strength. The instinct of humanity has insisted through the ages that this life has for its end and purpose a fuller, richer and more truly human life of eternal and joyful service. Confidence in this destination has upborne men and women, and whole peoples and races, through toil and anxiety that would otherwise have led inevitably to black despair and bitter sense of injustice. We have learned to fight back at misfortune, to deny the autocracy of unhappiness and to work hopefully for freedom of the body and spirit of man. Yet we have not escaped the necessity for an eternal fact to justify the labors, hazards and riddles of life. These challenge and gattack us from within as once cruelty and injustice beset us from without. Knowledge alone does not satisfy our spirit; we still seek for meaning and design in the complex pattern of which we are a part. Without some firm faith and confidence in a purpose to life we are still in the shadow of tragedy—the tragedy of finding our labors and ideals a mockery and our life itself a jest. Some boys go to college to study anatomy, and some hang around the corner drug store. All cars, are alike in one particular. If they get balky near a roadside garage, the cost of fixing them is $18.75. Quite a row and considerable ill feeling has been engendered into the Republican ranks through a contest for the chairmanship of the State Committee. A faction led by Kent Parrot of Los Angeles and former Sheriff Thomas Finn of San Francisco, were successful in electing their man, Frank F. Merriam of Long Beach. The defeat of the Hon. Charles L. Neumiller, incumbent, and the choice for re-election of the state administration, has left a nauseaus taste in the mouth of the Party, and it is going to take considerable diplomacy to smooth over matters. It was a hectic session: Beginning off the morning of Saturday it was a tired and haggard looking bunch of politicians that emerged from the Palace Hotel on the dawn of the Sabbath day. There had been charges of the theft of provies, and the use of steam roller tactics. The Parrot-Finn combination won out when they carried their point to elect the chairman by secret ballot. It was evident then that they were in the majority and would eventually win out. The final vote was Merriam 287; Neumiller 261. In the final slate, as put through Felton Taylor, San Francisco; 1st Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Mabel B. Socha, Los Angeles; 2nd Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Mattie Chandler, Richmond's lady Mayor; 3rd Vice-Chairman, Frank C. Tracy, San Francisco; Secretary, W. B. Allen, Los Angeles; Treasurer. The control of the State Committee by the Parrot-Finn faction spells death to any aspirations that Hon. James Rolph, II, may entertain for high political honors in the state. The new chairman, Frank Merriam, is not a new comer in the politics of the state, being a former speaker of the Assembly, and was formerly a factor in politics South of the Tehachipi. Some of the politicians claim to see the fine hand of former Governor Friend Richardson, in the committee shake-up, but in poking around we have failed to unearth it. Possibly as the campaign develops we will be able to discover the whyfors, and whereof. The Republican nominee for the Presidency, Herbert Hoover, has invaded the enemy's country and if we are to believe the reports emanating from that section, Tennessee can be counted as safety land in the Republican column. It is good politics to invade the territory of the enemy, even if you don't know exactly what to say. Platitudes and generalities do just as well. If you talk too much down South you are liable to hurt someone's feelings. That is if you don't exactly know what to answer when they heckle you about "Negro social equality." Senator Borah, who has been campaigning in Missouri, says that there is a possible chance of the Republican party gathering in its electoral vote. Theodore Roosevelt was the first to break the South's solid line of Democratic defense when, in 1904, the State of Missouri wilted under the fire of his popularity and made her obeisance to the Elephant. There was great rejoicing, and in presidential years she has been very consistent in delivering her electoral vote. In all, since 1904, she has gone Republican four times, Democrat twice. The Democrat campaign managers figure on sending Governor Smith into the State for a speech or two, and no doubt Herbert Hoover will give the "Show Me" State a casual visit on his way home from the East. The Republican management is somewhat worried about Massachusetts. They are not so sure that the textile workers were over enthused with the former New England speech. Oh well! we have said it so often that we believe we almost believe that this is a funny old election. Lots of us would not be caught in the same company with Hefflin, and yet he is strong for Hoover, and so on down the line. We could name one hundred or more who are rabid supporters of Hoover, but so innoculated with Negrophobia that they are dangerous to society. A few of them have defended most violence under the dome of the Capitol. Well, in order to be "Regular" you have got to swallow Hefflin, Simmons, Owens, and a few other mobocrats, and if you bolt you swallow Joe Robinson along with the Democrat. So there you are. In Alabama the "White Supremacy League" claiming a membership of 7500 women, calls upon State, County and City officials to dismiss all employees who have bolted the Democrat Party. It also urges the Democrat State Committee to oust candidates who fail to support the entire ticket and to name loyal Democrats in their places. If you remember we said some days or months ago that this was the most peculiar political campaign in the history of our national politics. Gov. Smith, Democrat nominee is on a swing through the Bourbon states which here-to-forehave never caused one particle of worry, as to how their electoral yotes would be cast. But there has been a big revolt and the erstwhile Solid South, whose democracy has always been without question, threatens to become debateable ground. Why some of these states were not even fighting ground for the G. O. P. The states of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri have been the occasion of great alarm, and they have sent Gov. Smith into that territory with the hope that the revolt may be stemmed. If the Democrats are on the anxious seat in Dixie the Republicans are having a pretty big HON. CHARLES CURTIS FOR VICE-PRESIDENT If or chance the editor of this publication should have a hankering to vote for Al Smith, a stone wall would stand in his way to prevent him from so doing. That wall is the debt of gratitude which he owes to his former fellow townman, his personal and life-long friend, the Hon. Charles Curtis, Renublican candidate for Vice-President of the United States. There is no possible way in which we could vote for Al Smith and Charles Curtis and have the vote counted. The above statement will no doubt clarify in the minds of many who have been so solicitous as to our stand in the pending campaign. We make it without any hesitation or mental reservation whatever. The fact that our columns are not bulging out in editorial comment in any particular political party means nothing as to our personal stand. No consideration whatever would change our course from the above line of duty. Not being subsidized by any political party we are unable to pay the high price demanded for workmanship to put forth the propaganda of any party without compensation therefor. As the case now stands we publish only such material along political lines as we receive due consideration. It is a pleasure, however, for us to speak up for the Republican candidate for President and Vice-President and as we have had the honor of the personal contact with Charles Curtis we speak with personal knowledge of his worthiness for the position which he seeks. Reared in the same towns, the capital of "Bleeding Kansas," we were with him step by step as he mounted the political ladder to success. We gave way a promise of Mr. Curtis when he aspired to a seat in the U. S. Senate in order that he might succeed. While he failed and we drifted away to other climes in the interem, good fortune smiled upon him and he was elevated to the Senate. One of his first acts was to call for us that he might fulfill his promise. We could not answer present. We shall never forget when he finally met us at the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago, in 1908, and he called our own Senator from Montana, the late Hon. Thos. M. Carter and said to him: "Tom, here is my friend Joe Bass, from Kansas, and if you people out in Montana cannot take care of him for anything he seeks, let him come back to Kansas and I will. Of course all of this is personal, but we cite it to show his loyalty to a promise. We can say further that there is no man in public life who has accomplished and done more for our group than the next Vice-President of the United States—Chas. Curtis. A man of honor; a man worthwhile. GET SOMEWHERE We are strong for the proposition to "Get Somewhere," and in every movement we make it is our aim and purpose to get somewhere, even though we might fail in trying. Defeats with us are only temporary happenings for we have not the faintest idea of abandoning our course of action with the goal "Get Somewhere." In the pending campaign our motivating thought is to "Get Somewhere" for all the people with particular reference to the group of which our destiny is linked forever. When we have reached the place where the people are tolerant and give to every citizen the right and privilege to think and act for himself we are truly on the road to get somewhere. SCIENCE AND THE LAW Every year sees the gap widening between the ancient concept of justice, as embodied in our system of law, and the new idea of conduct as it is being evolved by science, particularly medical science. The old idea was that there are certain acts which are criminal; that the person who committed such an act should be punished for it, unless he were insane or otherwise mentally incapable, and in the latter case he should be segregated from the community until such time as he became like other people. But science now claims that a good many, if not all, crimes are caused by circumstances over which the doer has no control. The "brain-storm" is now an old theory. And there are plenty of other explanations known to physicians and psychiatrists. Meanwhile the courts, on their side, have been striving to make more elastic the old definitions of responsibility for crime. They are getting away from the ancient idea that the person who commits an act defined as criminal is necessarily "bad" and needs to be whipped into a better frame of mind by a system of punishment. Thus we have long had asylums for the "criminal insane," and reformatories for those who seem to have been driven to crime by external conditions; and even prisons designed for old-fashioned punishment are trying to teach their inmates useful trades, and to some extent create in them that attitude of mind which the majority of people recognize as normal. The fact remains, however, that notwithstanding the changed and still changing attitude of the law and its administrators toward crime and criminals, it is still far behind science. The encouraging feature is that old, bitter laws, based on the desire of the majority to protect itself against an apparently vicious minority, and framed in ignorance of the causes of this so-called viciousness, have been found to be elastic enough to cover the new conceptions evolved by science, in the hands of lawyers trained in the new discoveries of science, and enlightened judges. The greatest defect in our system of justice remains the herd-treatment of persons in jails and prisons, in violation of the scientific attitude, which holds that each person is a distinct individual, with problems peculiar to himself, and should be so treated. GOOD FORTUNE The quality and fiber of a man are tested both by bad fortune and good. Under the stresses of mishap, disappointment and privation, his courage is sounded, his determination is sharpened and he may learn the hopeful habit and the measure of his own powers. In times of favoring fortune he must meet new enemies, less obvious but more dangerous to his spiritual growth and integrity. Good fortune tends to conceit and arrogance, though level thinking can reveal how much the favors of circumstance and accident befriend us. Good fortune brings the illusion that we are neqqessarily right because we are successful, which false assurance may blind us to many hazards that may shipwreck our too confident course. Good fortune may steal from us the things we love and send us seeking after the things we desire, which may prove dead-sea fruit and void of happiness. Good fortune may draw us away from friends who ask no favors and give us only the company of those whose favors bring no friendship. Good fortune is no more than a tool to our hands, which may serve to make effective our hopes and purposes. It may serve us also to dig deeper into our perpetual personal problem, which is that of refashioning ourselves to the better pattern of our choice. Such fortune frees us from forges that mold and discipline us from without, but leaves us more intimately res- COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON * * * * * * * * * * scare in the East. What with Pennsylvania looking "hay wire" and Massachusetts flirting with the "Donkey," and several other strongholds of the Republican party looking shakey, that party has rused some of its big oratorical guns to lay down a barrage in that sector. * * * * * Japanese can incorporate in California. Such was the decision of the State Supreme Court. California appealed to the United States Supreme Court and that Tribunal refused to hear arguments on the appeal. The State Supreme Court authorized Japanese incorporation to run a hospital, and to do corporate business in other lines; farming excepted. When the stringent Oriental Law was passed there were days of gloom in that quarter. They did not hold mass meetings and "Resolve," but they created test cases and then carried them through to the highest courts. They are, by law, forbid farming except under certain conditions. Yet, one does not have to travel far in any of the fertile valleys of the state to see Japanese farmers at work, and under conditions that are better than the outright ownership of the farms which they cultivate. There is no racial restriction against the Negro owning farm land. Money is all that is needed to purchase, and energy, intelligently applied, to create wealth. It will bring about a feeling of independence coupled with the pride in production. ```markdown ``` Germany is a great nation. The Germans are a resourceful people. Of all the nations who participated in the mad orgie of killing, she has led in the work of rehabilitation. In spite of the chaos caused by a sudden change in the form of government, and in the face of the stringent exactions of her conquerors; Germany has forged ahead in industry. Huge vessels of commerce is rapidly giving to her the mastery of the world's marits of trade. The trade which powerful nations looked on with envy. Not content with maritime success, the Germans have built the biggest air ship the world has known and started a trans-Atlantic flight which is the forerunner of a regular air line across the stretch of water that separates Berlin from New York. It is an admirable thing; this rapid recuperation of Germany. It is due as much to the splendid leadership as to the national pride of the people. Again, the discipline which they underwent during the reign of Kaiser, has stood them in good stead. They have learned to obey the law and yield to the rule of constituted authority. A Japanese syndicate, capitalized at $5,000,000 has contracted with the Brazilian government to send one thousand colonists every year for a period of years to the rich state of Para. It is said about that section that the most excellent rubber is produced. There is already a very large Japanese population in Brazil. There are certain sections which vie with the Portuguese and Italians in business and they are rapidly becoming a recognized factor in the development of the country. If you remember, some little while past, the Brazilian government issued an edict banning the entrance into the country of Negroes from the United States, or should we say Negroes. If our race leaders were a little more used to diplomacy they would recognize the reason. A nation seeking an outlet for its overcrowded people does not want any competition. One word from Japan, and Brazil will acquiesce to any request. There was at one time quite a stir in Aframerican circles when opportunities of the South American Republic were made public. The absence of colorphobia; the trend of the populace toward recognition of worth, and the desire to better conditionits, made its appeal to a number of the young men and women. But don't you think for one moment that Negro newspapers are not read by any but Negroes. Others know as much about your doings as you do yourself. Yes, more than some of you because you don't know enough, have not sufficient pride, to read yur Race papers. * * * * * The members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union throughout the nation will pray on the eve of the election. They are going to pray for an honest count and victory for prohibition. Why wait until the eve of the event? Omnipotence might be so busy with some other human problem—For instance the massacre of the chinese followers of Confucius, Mahomedan followers of Allah—that the election of either Smith or Hoover will be of a secondary nature. And then so many of us will have our minds made up by that time as to what we are going to do when we enter the voting booth that it will be indeed miraculous that we change. We would advise the ladies not to postpone those importunities; procrastination is the thief of time and while they are marshalling their forces to storm the battlements of heaven with their petitions the other fellow has been getting in some telling licks. been getting in some telling licks. Some gentlemen of the Episcopal faith were not satisfied with the phraseology of the prayer book and for some years past have been changing it. The fire works started when the 49th triennial general convention of the church met in the city of Washington, D. C. There were arguments so heated, and such exhibition of temper, that to the disinterested onlooker it appeared as if they should for the moment ignore the phrasing and said, Father teach us how to pray! Then knelt down and PRAYED. Just another little bid for hypocriety. The Ontario, Canada branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, passed a resolution requesting the clergy not to smoke in public as an example to the younger generation. Smoke, but not in public. Smoke, but allow people to believe that you don't smoke. Inveigh against the use of "the filthy weed," but use it yourself; surreptitiously. It is just such things that are depleting church pews, and causing the young folk to look askance at the platitudes of their elders. If smoking is wicked or injurious to morals DON'T SMOKE AT ALL. Mrs. Augusta Stetson of the Christian Science faith died in Rochester, N. Y. Nothing peculiar about that you say. No! Mrs. Stetson said that she would never die. Great faith that. But there is a greater than the human will, be it ever so strong, and death is an inevitable nemisis of humanity. Mrs. Stetson lived to the ripe age of 87 years. Mrs. Catherine Aller, also follower of Mrs. Eddy, declared: "Mrs. Stetson was right in her assertion that there is no necessity for humans to die, but that she failed to find a method of thinking and living to thwart death." We guess that humanity will be a long, long time finding that method. Dr. Chauncy Hawkins, Minister 1st Congregational Church, San Francisco, and Rabbi Louis Newman, discussed the relationship between Judaism and Christianity from the pulpit of Dr. Hawkin's Church. They talked of Christianity and Judaism from the standpoint of a Rabbi and the standpoint of a Christian clergyman. The meeting was for the purpose of creating a better understanding between the races and religion. It was a splendid idea and not without its good results. "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 (Continued on Page Nine) (Continued on Page Nine) Friday, October 12, 1928 The Weekly Survey By: LEON WHITAKER The Zeppelin arrived. The event of the arrival marks another milestone on the long arduous path of human progress. The feat of Landbergh was spectacular and dramatic. It was a feat of daring, accomplished by a brave young man. But this last event was one of scientific calculation. Cool scientists planned the trip. Cool scientists guided the bulbous bird on her conservative flight. The time of the flight was most propitious, 436 years ago, undaunted Columbus led a small band of men to dare the dangers of the deep. The wise men of his day decried the idea of braving the sea monsters, the dragons, and the horrors of the "jumping off place." Two large continents were linked by the defiant deed. The flight of the Zeppelin means that man is further conquering the air. Air travel will help to break down national and racial bursters. The world is indeed a smaller place after all. Just as the principles of internal combustion and of reinforced concrete construction created the major problems of urban life, so will this expression of aeronautical development draw mankind more closely together. When man succeeds, and he surely will, in harnessing the forces of celestial mechanics, utilizing the vast energy stored within the rise and fall of the tides, he will need no submerged economic class or race. Further development of scientific miracles will see the disappearance of human hatreds and competition. Society will advance to catch up with science. The great thinkers of ages past and of ages to come are, after all, the true leaders of the human family. The daily journals inform us that on Friday the fare on the L. A. Railway will rise to seven cents. The rise will mean that the many laborers who are not car workers will suffer a bit more, will be pushed a bit further into the dirt. Perhaps the raise is justifiable from the view point of certain expenses. But there doesn't seem to be and abundance of the company's stock on the market for purchase. The layman concludes that the raise is just one more event of further profits for bloated bondholders. The Federal Court reports are full of rate cases. The justices of the Supreme Court have long differed on economic theories of adjustment. Mr. Justice Brandies believes in social regulation based on expense and a fair profit. Mr. Justice Butler seems to believe in the so-called national adjustment based upon purveyor of transportation charging all that the traffic will bear. Rate-making has been the bane of producer and consumer for many years. The cycle of rate-making seems to be 1. A new rate by the Bureau 2. A prosecution by the authorities 3. The company cry of "confiscation" in the federal courts. 4. The settled establishment of the new rate upon the people. In the last analysis, the joker is on the man further down. . . . The Negro is suffering in Florida. Of course, throughout the entire world, the Negro is suffering; but he is suffering unusually much just now in the storm-streaked area. The example of the Mississippi flood distribution of funds and supplies has constrained the authorities to appoint that matchless woman leader, Mrs Mary McLeod Botha, to superintend relief for Negroes. The Los Angeles Forum and the Church Brotherhood are putting forth a most magnificent effort to aid the Southern brother. It is sincerely believed by many observers of the Los Angeles Negro's activities that all of his organizations will unite to sponsor this action of mercy and duty. The mentioned local units are staging a monster mass meeting and benefit to help in the noble cause. An interested and appreciative audience heard Attorney Hugh MacBeth at the Forum, last Sunday. The concise, clear way in which he presented the facts and issues of the Blythe affair convinced all that he had handled his end ably and sincerely. However, his pessimistic attitude toward the future of the Negro in California was quite discouraging. As he impressed one as being a man who bases opinions upon serious investigation, his apprehension of complete segregation, his benevolence in the bountiful picture. But, he suggested that the Negro might offset the otherwise inevitable by a united front. He described the power of the Negro to put forth this united front. Like Rev. Riddle of Pasadena, this writer believes, maybe with the blind hope of youth, that the Negro can, and will, have sufficient foresight and courage to unite against the encroaching deprivation of civil rights. . . . NOTE—The totally unexpected demands of a budding practice prevail upon this writer to discontinue the regular contributions in this column. However, from time to time, as the time permits quality, there will be a further presentation.
