1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Girl Rescue After Being Held In Peonage For a goodly number of years, it seems that it has been the practice of certain members of the Caucasian race living in the southern section of the country, to bring to California, minors, upon whom they impose labors unsuited to the age of the child, refuse to pay them, and after a certain length of time, dump their poison property in this or some other California city. Such sems to be the plight of 16-year old Hattie Jenkins who was brought to Los Angeles a few months ago by a white woman who, when Hattie seems to have refused to be made a chattel slave, she was let out to find friends in Los Angeles or starve to death. Hattie₁₀ was rescued by Mrs. Young of 10322 Wilmington Ave., who is caring for her until some adjustment of the cast can be made. Below is a copy of the letter from Hattie's sister which explains how the little girl happened to be here. It is hoped that the angels of mercy of Los Angeles will come to her rescue. "Albany, Ga., Sept. 10, 1928" "DEAR HATTIE: "I received your letter, and was so glad. This dear lady was so kind to take you in. I thought that was so sweet of her. She told me that you would be well taken care of, and that she would see to you getting back home, so I am telling you to be just as sweet to Mrs. Young as you can because she is just as good as a mother over there to you. She was a wonderful friend, she was a woman of 100 women to take a great responsibility on her hand. Hattie be good by her, do all you can for her, cause you have not got a job. I wished I had some money to send you Hattie. But times so tight here we can't hardly get along. But if I can get spare change I will suru send it to you. I told Mrs. Young everything about Mrs. Hessie, "told her you was 16 years old and the lady promised to pay you $15.00 a week, and keep you in the house with her and they all would take good care of you, and after one year's time they would bring you back home. We are very well. Aunt Leagin wants Eula to stay with her, but Eula ain't worried about her. I am in a hurry. I will write more next time. I am rushing to get these letters back to you al. Excuse this blundering hand writing. I am in a hurry. All send love to you. From your sister, MARY JENKINS, 708 Fifth Street, Albany, Ga. Professor's Protest Eliminates Race Insult From Recent Book New York, Nov. 2.—A slur against the Negro is to be removed from a recently published book, following a vigorous press made by Professor G. David Houston, principal of the Technical High School in Washington, according to a report to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington Branch Professor Houston's protest, writes Mr. Thomas, "brought the Washington representative to the school at once with a promise to call in the book, have the insult eliminated, and a sharp letter sent to the writer." The book in question is "The Pilgrim's Progress to Culture," distributed by the Grolier Society in which occurs the following sentence: "most people born with a tongue between their teeth know how to talk more or less, but between talk and conversation there is as much difference as between the beating of a nigger's tom-tom and a fantastic on the piano by a Paderewski." Professor Houston, on receiving the book, promptly wrote that he was calling this matter to the attention of the N. A. A. C. P., and added: "You will not, perhaps, sustain any appreciable financial loss from such resentment as the colored people may manifest, but you will learn that in this day of social unrest colored people are learning how to feel and resent insults." BURNS TO DEATH (Bv: A. N. P.) RICHARDMON, VA., Nov. 7—Shm mon Trice was burned to death in his home here Monday.

CALIFRONIA EAGLE, 847 Central Ave. Los Angeles, Calif. Washington, D. C., Nov. 7, 1928.—Declaring that the election of Herbert Hoover to the Presidency ushered in a new era in the progress and advancement of the Negro, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Chairman of the Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee, expressed his appreciation today for the organized effort and public support which had made the work of the Negro division a success, Dr. Hawkins said: "Whatever we have been able to accomplish in winning votes for Hoover and Curtis in this campaign has been the result of the fine team work and loyal spirit of my associate workers in the campaign. I greet you with this message of thanks and rejoices with you over the splendid victory achieved in the election of Hoover and Curtis as well as that of the successful Republican candidates in various States. "The people have spoken and we accept their verdict. Our campaign was pitched on a high plane and we foucit our battles in the open without milice and free from mud-slinging. There is no cause for rancor or bitterness anywhere. We were in earnest about the virtue of our cause and championed it with all the fervor of our souls that victory has come to our side is due largely to the very fine way in which the cause has been presented and the splendid teamwork of the members of our organization. "The work of the press has been most commendable. Through this medium the public has been intelligently informed as to the issues involved and given an opportunity to pass upon these issues and cast their ballots for those deemed most worthy to be entrusted with affairs of state. "The elevation of Herbert Hoover to the President of the United States means a continuation of those policies which have brought opportunity and plenty to us as a group and I firmly believe ushers in a new era of civic growth and opportunity for the Negro. With this belief let us turn our faces to the future and do all we can to make this administration one of outstanding achievement." JOHN R. HAWKINS, Chm.

This Time The Whites Were The Tools (By The Associated Negro Press) AUKEGAN, ILL., Nov. 7.—Of five men involved in the killing of William Beck, a white farmer, last May, all have been found guilty, but only three two Colored men and an Indian, have been sentenced to die. The two colored men are Claude Clark and John Brown. The Indian is Dominick Bressette. They were convicted of slaying the farmer while attempting to rob him. Arthur Doone and Harold Muster, who are said to have acted as chaufeurs for the others, were only sentenced from one to fourteen years imprisonment.

Dorsey Nordic "Heredity Mongers" Ridiculed by George A. Dorsey New York, Nov. 2.—"Heredity mongers" who claim superiority for blond Nordics are sharply ridiculed by Geo. A Dorsey, author of "Why We Behave Like Human Behnes," writing in the November issue of "Plain Talk" on "Race and Civilization Specialists." Mr. Dorsey traces the development of the race superiority theories from Count Gobineau and the successive emphasis on "Aryan," "Teutonic" and Nordic. Of Madison Grant, author of the "Passing of the Great Race" Mr. Dorsey writes that he knows many "facts" unknown to anthropologists. Other contemporary writers of this sort whose facts and theories are found wanting on examination include, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Dr. Elsworth Huntington, Professor William McDougall, Lothrou Stoddard, Edwin M. East, and Albert Edward Wiggum who "has broadcast more false views about race and civilization than any other one man." "The chief difference between these heredity mongers and the Ku Klux Klan," writes Mr. Dorsey, "is the difference between kid gloves and a nightgown—they have the same ethics. There is no problem of race and civilization; they know." Mr. Dorsey summarizes the available evidence of authorities in medicine, biology and anthropology to show up the falsity of the heredity mongers' doctrines. "Our problems," he concludes, "are not those of race and civilization, but of too little understanding and too much prejudice." JUMPS FROM TRUCK; KILLED (By: A. N. P.) Patrick, S.

MOSE PENTON RETURNS TO PENSACOLA MINUS PRISONER New York, Nov. 2.—Flirda's bad lynching record has been made a basis of a determined fight by the Detroit Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to prevent the extradition of a colored nurse, Viola Edwards, to Pensacola. As a consequence of which Sheriff Mose Penton returned to Pensacola without his prisoner and told the local citizenry all about it. According to the Pensacola Journal of October 21: "The sheriff is not at all certain Gov. Fred W. Green of Michigan will grant the extradition. No decision on the mater will be made until a thorough investigation of the burning of the hospital formerly operated by the Negress, and of the present attitude of citizens here is made, the Governor indicated. "W. Hayes McKinney, Detroit attorney for Viola, introduced records of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People showing Florida citizens have lynched 195 between the years 1889 and 1918, according to Sheriff Penton. The same records show five Negroes have been lynched in Escambia County during the same period. "McKinney's entire fight against the extradition of the Negress was based upon the danger to her if she was ever returned to Florida." The same newspaper reports the likelihood of a decision in the case some time in November.

Arousing general interest in the bettering of living conditions for Negro women in colleges throughout the country. 4. Looking into library facilities for colored students generally, but especially in the southern section of this country. No.23 "The Colored Citizens of Blythe are very much uneasy as to the attitude of the Colored citizens of the rest of the State in the matter of helping them out of their school troubles. Hope had been entertained by some of the leaders here that some of the leaders of the Los Angeles Forum or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People branch of Los Angeles would start a movement for the removal of Superintendent Scott. As yet no action has been heard along this line. And the Colored citizens here are watchfully waiting." The above is a communication from the citizens of Blythe in which they are announcing to their fellow group citizens, that in order to secure relief from a situation that has been forced upon them they must have assistance from especially race leaders. We waste a while lot of time as to who is who, while the sterner responsibilities that should claim our closest a tention pass lightly by. The Presidential Campaign is now past history. Herbert Hoover sits in his luxurious Palo Alto home waiting for the tapping of the gong when he shall take his seas as the thirty-fifth presidnt of the United States. While Mr. Hoover was not my choice I am perfectly satisfied with the people's choice, and as a good citizen I shall continue to respect the laws of my state and country. I contend, however, that Gov. Smith was not defeated by the Negro vote. In the large Black precincts on the Eastside Gov. Smith outstripped President elect Herbert Hoover in getting votes. According to the fundamental principals of the Republican Party the Negro in Spirit is Republican, but I say now, as I said in the beginning of this Presidential Campaign, that in order to get recognition and to throw off the yoke of political bondage it is necessary and expedient for the Negro to split his vote. Neither the Irish, Jews nor Italians in this country are religiously united in any one political party, nor is the white American himself—and while the Negro, unlike other Americans, is truly 100 per cent American, by right of birth and inheritance, his treatment in civic affairs differ from the treatment of any other group or class. I firmly believe that he should be united in the purpose of building a race, but that he should differ politically as he does in religion. Rights and privileges are derived from citizenship and it is impossible to understand such rights and privileges unless we have a thorough understanding of the term citizenship. In this passing Presidential Campaign much has been written and said about the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, and at last a few Negroes stirred in their 69 years of slumber long enough to enquire. "What about the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments?" There are some battles right here in California to be fought and won by Black Americans, when the courts tell us that we may buy property but not use it oneself. This is a breach of citizenship rights. Black Opals is desirous of issuing a distinctly different edition for the close of 1928 in the form of a national number consisting of representative pieces by young writers who might otherwise not appear at the present time.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened By: Vernon E. S. Brunson I'll not sing a song of birds and pretty flowers, Nor either will I sing of loves and moons— Of babblings 'neath a star-lit bower, Where arms entwine and loves are crooned. My song is the song of Life A tune that is known by all— A cycle of toil and strife, Of kings, of men under tyrants thrall— The ages move like a tide, Endless, rentless, unceasing— Civilizations come and go— The wonders of their time increasing. But all unchanged is life— We come and live, then die; The high and low, the great and small— And you and I— For each a part to play. A battle to be fought, a race to run; For each a certain task From dawn to setting sun. . . . Life has joys and sorrows All of us have a share — No man is exempt from his portion Of love, joy, of thought and care. . . We're here on a single scale — Though many break the rules; And the men that do and think they're wise Are the ones that are the fools! In Life no deed is done That does not give or take — The good will stand and live and give But evil will follow in the wake. . . We toil and sweat in cities; Or work 'neath the open sky — 'Tis hurry for pleasure, hurry for work — We keep at it until we die. Such is Life—all contrasts: The rich, the poor, the happy, and sad. The thinker and fool, the doer, the .idler— We all have a part, be it good or bad. **TRUE SAYINGS** He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.—J. Allen. This rule has works and will all ways prove itself in Life—a man is only as great as he makes himself to be. —V. E. S. B PASADENA NOTES BY: W.

The managing editor of this paper can gain salace in the fast that numerous precincts in the black belt for the first time in local history, gave their vote to the democratic candidate, Governor Al Smith. Intolerance, prejudice and race hatred received a knock out blow when proposition No. 5 was defeated at the polls on last Tuesday. We never could see any good reason why anybody would have to fall out with anybody else over any question on politics. Therefore as it's all over now everybody should be a good fellow and on their way for better and greater things. All reports are to the effect that the pickings were slim at this election, and the grafters and parasites will have a hard time making it until the next election rolls around. And as a consequence many of them will now be out looking up a jab. "Seeing Things" in our contemporary, the "New Age" just keeps on worrying about the primaries which is ancient history. If we remember the successful candidate at that time was congratulated and defeat acknowledged. However we realize also it is hard for a really small man to be big. The small things interest him more. The Pie Maker has been so pestered ever that we will dig up and analyse that election and show it up just woh won i tand how. Just keep on jabbering until you get an carful.

SENATOR FEARS TWO WHITE PARTIES IN SOUTH (Bv: A. N. P.) Lake Providence, La., Nov. 6.—United States Senator Joseph Ransdell, Democrat, in an address here declared that "There would be grave danger in Louisiana and other southern states in two strong white political parties each of which would contend for the Negro vote. Good Negroes in the south are prosperous and happy, but if they are persuaded by designing whites to enter the political arena, there is certain to be a return to the fraud and violence of reconstruction days, with great loss of life and sorrow to both races. Our present system of White Democratic primaries provides a just method of setting political controversies and should be continued. A serious effort will be made to reduce the representation in Congress and the electoral college of states which adhere to this system, if Mr. Hoover is elected. Should that effort succeed the South will lose a large percentage of its membership, both in the federal House of Representatives and in the electoral college, with the result that it would have far less influence in the republic. This is no fancied danger, but a real one which should be seriously considered by every southerner who contemplates voting the Republican ticket.

The babies weighed 4 1-2; 4 2-5; and 4 3-5 pounds. The mother, who was an out-patient at the Washington University School of Medicine Clinic, was sent to the Maternity Hospital two months before the birth of her children. An X-Ray diagnosis showed it would be a triple delivery. And the case was attending physicians, as it was the first record of such a diagnosis. The three babies were born strong and healthy and have been making satisfactory development. Kills Sweetheart Who Locked Her Up (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Oct. 30.—A jealous woman turned her fury on her lover Wednesday evening and killed Henry Alexander. Not long afterward Edna Conrad, 28, his sweetheart, was arrested for murder. Alexander, who lived at 1119 South Rampart Street, was killed at Grevrier and Franklin Streets across from the Parish Prison. He was a familiar figure at night court in the role of go-between for Hildagus and bondsmen and lawyers. Eye-witnesses said the woman opened fire as soon as she caught sight of Alexander. He had kept her locked in her room for three nights, she told police. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Willis Ptroleum Activity Canada Decides To Get LOOKING THROUGH Stirs Our People Rid of Marcus Garvey GARVEY'S EYE The past few days have been unusually active for Messrs. E, J. Porter and J. W. Jones, of 270 South Central Avenue, Sales Agents for WILLIS-VISTA ACRES TRACTS, for when word was passed around that the Willis Petroleum Company had concluded negotiations for a lease on this land to one of the large California Oil Companies, many of our people started a "hurry-up" call for this land, and even though the pre-opening sale dat has not been set many sales have been made, and inquiries are coming in nearly every hour of the day. Most of our people are interested in these tracts, and are making purchases as an investment, yet much of the land is suitable for the growing of Oranges, Lemons, Apricots and Grapes and to the raising of Chickens, Turkeys and Rabbit The land is now being leased for the drilling of Oil and each Tract purchaser will share in a per cent of all OIL AND GAS produced from 160 acres of the land, and the Company taking the lease has signified its intention of intensively developing the land. WILLIS-VISTA ACRES is in the heart of present day Oil activity, and many of the large, successful Companies have taken leases adjoining this land, and from present indications things will be booming within the next few months. At the present time the Rio Grande Interests are drilling a deep test well on land practically adjoining this property, and within a short distance are the Doheny and Bolsa Chico Interests; then the highly developed and productive Montebello Oil Field is not far distant. The land is within a few miles of two good Towns *Piru* and Fillmore, and Los Angeles is only about 50 miles away; all connected with a paved highway and with rail and bus transportation at the very door. Urges Study of Negro Health Conditions (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 5—There is need for a medical missionary movement in the United States, declares a writer in American Medicine. Possibly one might suggest more definitely the need of a medical missionary movement in the United States for changing some mortality facts that stand out in the mortality rates of the registration area of the United States during 1925, the writer adds. "The mortality rate of the colored population of the United States," he continues, "is outrageously high in comparison with that of the white population. In the registration area of the continental United States during 1925 the mortality rate per thousand population was 11.2 for the white and 18.2 for the colored, and these figures obtain likewise for the registration States as a whole. "In the cities in the registration States, however, the mortality rate for the whites was 12.2 as compared with 23.5 for the colored. This is in sharp contrast with the figures for the rural districts of the registration states wherein the mortality rate for the white was 10.2 and the colored 15.2. The dysgonic factors at present existent in cities for the colored people is further exemplified in the mortality rates in registration cities in the non-registration states, where the white mortality was 13 and the colored 23.4. "It is unnecessary to go into specific details concerning these variations in mortality rate. It is obvious that the colored mortality rate is entirely out of harmony with what would be the fact if our present knowledge concerning the prevention of disease were properly employed and if there were adequate medical care for those already afflicted with disease. The fact that the major disproportion in these mortality rates exists in cities indicates there is ample need for investigation of health work in large cities. "A more complete understanding of the sociologic and economic factors which are conditioning the life of the colored citizens should be obtained. Patently, the exceedingly high mortality rate of the colored race is not due to inherent physical weakness. The difference between the mortality rates under urban and rural conditions attests this. There must be definite phases of urban life which run counter to the physical welfare of the colored race. To the extent that these are permitted to continue without a definite attempt to overcome the mortality rate of the colored people must be regarded as partially due to the negligence, the indifference or the stupidity of the white rate. Dudley Day Observed A. And T. (By: A. N. P.) Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 7.—Dudley Day, an annual event at A. and T. College in honor of the late Dr. James B. Dudley, for 29 years president of the Institution, was observed last Friday. The exercises took place in the Dudley Hall Auditorium, Mayor E. B. Jeffress spoke in bringing greetings to the college from the white people of the community and from the city as a whole. The address of the day was made by Professor A. B. Johnson, principal of the deaf and dumb institute at Raleigh. Professor Johnson is a graduate of A. and T. College and was there while Dr. Dudley was president. He was an intimate friend of the president, who died on April 4, 1925. (My The Associated Negro Press) Quebec, Canada, Nov. 7—Marcus Garvey, litterant president of the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association, was scheduled to leave here for his home in Jamaica Saturday as a result of an order issued by the Can- adian government stamping Garvey as an undesirable visitor and decree- ing his deportment. Mr. Garvey had just arrived here from England. It is believed that he had intended to remain in Canada and direct the work of his organization among the Negroes of the United States. His first action was to make a public recommendation that the Garveyites should vote for Alfred E. Smith for President. Mr. Garvey declared that Mr. Smith was a more human and liberal man than Hoover and that Smith represented the masses, where Hoover represented the classes. He charges that the aid and comfort which Hoover had given interests which were exploiting Liberia would set that country back one hundred years. What Mr. Garvey's next step will be is uncertain. After his release from the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, he was deported to his home, but later went to England, where he has been speaking to unsympathetic audiences. The United States seems to be the most fruittiful field for his isbors, but there does not seem to be any way for him to get close enough to do any effective work. Patronize Your Black NEIGHBOR By G. H. LEMONS, Durham Branch NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE (For The Associated Negro Press) BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY One sees, from time to time, many plans and predictions concerning the development of this country for the next fifty years. Machines are being invented to cut down the use of man power. Engineers are being pressed to increase production. Factories are expanding, million dollar banks are merging, and the stock market is breaking all records. With all of this we wonder if the Negro is progressing with the times We hear many people say that the Negro race in America has made more progress in the last half-century, than any other race of people has ever done. We point with pride to our banks, real estate firms, professional men, insurance companies and the like, but the question of most vital importance to us is, "What will they be doing fifty years from today?" Negro farmers, laborers, porters, maids and cooks, when speaking of their children, invariable say that their children shall have the educational advantages that they were denied. But what are these same people doing to assure themselves that their children are going to have something to do when they complete their education. Nothing! These same Negro parents put their money in white banks, buy in white stores and insure themselves in white insurance companies, all of whom have absolutely refused to give employment, unless it be mental labor, to the educated children of the Negro worker who has invested his money with them. It is a distressing but true fact that one white insurance company alone carries more insurance among Negroes than all of the Negro companies combined. And the highest executive position that a Negro may hold with this company is assistant head janitor in their palatial main office building. But even he cannot use his own initiative for the head janitor is a white man. Yet, when Negroes buy a policy in this, or any other white insurance company, they' firmly believe that they are doing their best to prepare for the welfare of their children. They never think that if they were to insure themselves with a Negro company, an influence' their friends to do so also that their educated son or daughter may be one of those employed. Ben Bess Appeal Dock eted for Nov. in S. C. Supreme Court New York, Nov. 2.—N. J. Frederick, attorney in charge of the case of Ben Bess who has served 13 years of a 30-year sentence on a white woman's perfured testimony, reports to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that the appeal has been docketed for a hearing in the South Carolina Supreme Court on November 12 or 13. "The Transcript of Record has just been delivered to me by the Clerk of the Supreme Court." writes Mr. Frederick. "It constitutes 156 printed pages. As soon as our brief are printed—which will be early next week—I will send you copies of the whole case. Of course, we believe that we are going to be successful; the law and facts seem to be with us. I am sure the sympathy of the best people are with us and their hopes that we succeed." BY: F. HYDE In recent years, the question of The Negro Race, more, comonly called "The Negro Problem" has been the topic of international discussion more than ever before in the history of Christian civilization. Why so much of the world's attention has been attracted and all of the inner being of mankind intellectual forces have been summoned to investigate and carefully consider in the event of what the outcome would be, is only a reflection of some of the world's greatest minds in their belief in one of the prophesies in that it is said, "There's a time, and a purpose for everything that is done under the sun. Strange though it be to the minds of the pessimistic Tyrants of ignorance, injustices and equally unfathomable to the minds of the optimistic Creators of International suffrages of the "How and Why" is the Negro Race developing such a super-consciousness of himself and causing the sentiment of the world to be broused as to the "purpose" of his action and his cintial plea for Freedom and Liberty indeed. Sorry, and yet glad to say that the great unanswered question to so grave a problem as that of "The Negro Problem" has not been questioned to any individual or group of individuals, who are in position to know and analyze in its true sense the question of "The Why and How." Will the much discussed problem be solved? Perhaps to the uninterested individual, or to the critical reader, the mere theory that Evolutionary Events will bring about in some unknown way, convincing evidence to substantiate "The Possibilities of the Negro becoming through the agencies of Advanced Civilization, a great factor in National and international affairs is inconceivable." In contrast of opinion, and a more conscious knowledge of the will power in man, ask the man who is fully aware of his identity as being that of equal ambition and will power to achieve for himself and his personality what other men and races have done for their's, though spoken perhaps in scattered words, or in rather incomplete sentences, but paraphrazed, and analyzed the final answer would be an answer to the question involved, or an amendment thereto. The latter type of Negro is the man who is "Looking Through Garvey's Eye," which enables him to see the possibilities in all things and gives him that super courage to work for the advancement of his race, and look the world in the face with that same vision of "man's equality to man," which prompts man to demand justice for pre-injustice rendered the Negro of today. Much unlike the Negro of the past decade, is aware of life's obligation and responsibilities, which heretofore has been hidden mysteries, through the guide or agencies of circumstantial environments. But ask if you please, through more curiosity or pronounced sincerity. The public opinion of Black Humanity everywhere as to their disposition of the Negro's future destiny and be over and above dismayed if the answer is not in the affirmative of Garvey's African Redemption program. P. S. Mass meeting every Sunday, 3 P. M. at Liberty Hall, 2707 S. Central Ave. Special speakers on National and international subjects. (By The Associated Negro Press) HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 7. -Miss Geoiae A. Gollock, of London, England, member of a number of international missions of the Missionary Council of the Church of England, and until recently joint editor with Mr. J. H. Oldbam of the "international Review of Missions," spoke to a gathering of Hampton workers at Katharine House on Friday, taking as her subject "Hampton and Africa." On of the most difficult misunderstandings to deal with in Africa at the present time was, Miss Gollock declared, the reaction against agricultural and industrial education; the Africans considered that academic education was being deliberately kept from them, which was not actually the case though things had been laid upon manual training. Hampton could help here considerably by showing the unity existing between agricultural and industrial and college training, and by emphasizing the collegiate side to visiting missionaries. "There is not in Africa today a proper amount of higher education for people who want to avail themselves of it, either for medical or other collegiate work." Miss Gollock said. The records of the past students of Hampton had an important reflex action on the whole cultural problem of Africa, and had contributed to the markedly changed attitude of the white people in Africa. The qualities inherent in the Africans gave them a future full of promise. "Everyone knows Africa is an asset. I am trying to prove that the Africans are a greater asset," she declared. Gets Only Five Years For Killing Wife (Bv: A. N. P.) Camden, Ark., Nov. 7—Jeffie Sutton, who claimed that he shot his wife accidently, was found guilty of second degree murder and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by a jury in Circuit Court here Thursday. Court Solomon Doings BY: M. DENTON, JR. Expressing by deeds and actions its undying loyalty to the strong Forestic chain of which it is a link and being ever on the alert to demonstrate its spirit of progressiveness along fraternal lines, Court Solomon No. 8677, A. O. F., in keeping with the above desires and efforts held forth with a mammoth initiation and entertainment program on August 19th. Impetus was added to the occasion by the visit of High Chief Ranger, H. Perry of San Francisco, who was accompanied by High Court Woodward, Jerry O'Connor. In addition to these visitors there were officials and members from Court Mt. Lowe of Pasadena, Calif., and Court Intangible of Los Angeles. After the ceremony of initiation had been completed remarks were heard from several of the visiting officials and members. The address of H. Perry was especially encouraging and enlightening. No one who heard his interesting talk could doubt the spirit of this veteran Forester and at the same time fail to become imbued with the spirit of co-operation that exists in the Forestic Circle. He extolled the meritorious virtues of Court Solomon and assured the Court that by such continued efforts there would be no limitation to its expansion. A very interesting part of the evening's program was the musical numbers rendered by the Misses and Master Hesters. These little talented musicians, the children of Bro. and Mrs. Hester offered numbers that were greatly enjoyed by all. As a seeming reward for her musical offering of the evening one of the Misses Hesters was presented with a beautiful floor lamp being the holder of the lucky number for this prize. The drill team functioning under the leadership of Captain James P. Bratton need no comment. The exhibition drill offered by this auxiliary was more than pleasing. The band also came in for its just praise having shown marked resuscitation from its seeming eventual dissolution. The evening's enjoyment was further enhanced by the serving of very palatable refreshments and enjoyable smokes. If the newly appointed social committee continues to display its culinary ability as well as was done on this particular occasion very little trouble will be experienced in getting the brothers out. Doings At Parkridge Last week-end was a busy one at the club. Those who attended the Holloween party spent a jolly evening dancing to the snappy music furnished by the Melody Masters. "We have had such a good time we hate to go home—I suppose you'll have to put us out," said Mrs. J. W. Rose of Monrovia, who, with Mr. Rose, came with a party of nine including Miss Jackson of New York, who were much impressed with the beauty of Parkridge stating: "We have nothing like this in New York." Quite a few remained overnight, took in alfast and spent Sunday at the club. Parkridge is 51 miles from Los Angeles which is no distance in this day of rapid transportation especially if one is accustomed to packing the trip. The automobile has brought the county to the city. A big weekend is being planned for Saturday, November 10th. Sunday the 11th and Armistice Day the 12th. Prepare now to dine and dance at the club Thanksgiving Day. Welcome to Parkridge any day. Get More Land (By The Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. Nov. 4—Land ownership for the Negro farmer is the topic which meets here December 5 and 6. Farmers who have risen from the stage of tancy will tell others what means they used to gain this end. What thrift practices they resorted to, what they have been able to achieve since becoming independent landowners. In addition to the op n forum discussions by farmers there will be addresses by Dr. Bradford Knapp, president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute; John B. Pierce, field agent, U. S. Agricultural Extension Service, Hampton Institute; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and president of the conference and others. The conference, founded by Booker T. Washington comprises the farmer's section and the workers' section. The home will be the topic which the teachers, preachers, social service workers and others interested in rural welfare, who attend the workers' section will cuss. Meeting with the conference will be the boys and girls of the 4—H Clubs composed of the rural youth of the south who will hold their fourth annual camp at Tuskegee December 3—6. The program of the 4—H Clubs will be featured by a number of contests for boys and girls. Put Wife To Work Who Killed Husband Put Wife To Work Who Killed Husband (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La.

Hoots From the Owl Hoots From the Owl HOOTS OF THE OWL Well folks the big parade is over, Mr. Hoover is to be our president for the next four years, and we do hope that he will fulfill all the promises made by him and his party during their whirlwind campaign. The curtain goes down on the last act on the national stage only to rise again on our local stage, with scene one (1) directed on our District Attorney, Asa Keys, featured and a support of an all star cast, including such celebrities as James E. Davis, David M. Carroll and others, this (PLAY) is given out to be one of the years greatest productions by the foremost critics Judge Douglas L. Edmonds of the Superior Court See where Hugh T. Morrow head of the county bar association praises James' Davis as chief of police. I wonder if he praising the WONDEDS that Davis had performed while in office, or was he commending the MAN himself? If the former was the case WE are almost forced to believe that Mr. Morrow has been out of the city for quite a little while. (LEW) E. Whitehead Assistant City Attorney, just came back from a year's vacation, but I guess that was not long enough for (LEW) as he jetted notice of his entention of taking a longer one, presumably for life.

The occasion being the consolidation of the Birch St. Church and the Wadsworth Church. These churches which separated a few years ago are now reunited again and will worship together as one at the Christian Church, Cor. 14th and Birch Sts. A reunion of congregations is an event of rare occurrence in this age of confusion. The members of the Birch St. congregation were overwhelmed with joy and received their Wadsworth brothers and sisters with wide, open arms of love and songs of joy. The brothers and sisters from Wadsworth came likewise with the spirit of love and fellowship prevailing and a great spiritual reunion and revival was felt by all. Many were moved to tears and songs and rejoicing abounded. Elder Jacobs in behal of the congregation of the Birch St. Church made a beautiful address of welcome which was full of the spirit of love and it was responded to by Elder Torrance, the pastor of the Wadsworth Church with the same spirit and feling. Elder Jacobs delivered a wonderful sermon which fitted in nicely with the occasion. At the close of the religious service Dr. Stovall, one of the leading physicians of the city who also attended our morning services gave a very timely and practical lecture on health, how to gain and maintain it. After the morning services the congregation adjourned to the dining room of the church where the Sisters of the Birch St. Church had brought and prepared baskets and boxes of food which was spread and a hot vegetable dinner with coffee and tea was served. After the spiritual feast and reunion came also, a material feast. A general good time was had by all present. Open Center to Aid Chil dren of Poor Mothers (My The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—In order to promote health and to provide recreation for colored children, the Utopia Children's House, has just been open here at 170 West 130th Street, through a gift of $77,500 from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The gift is to be paid in diminishing annual installments over a period of four years, providing for a gradual dependence on public support. Miss Leanore Pritchett, formerly executive secretary of the Doxwell Community House at New Haven, Conn. is in charge. Nourishing hot lunches will be serve children from public school lists of those who are undernourished and from families where the mother is forced to be at work during the day. Follow-up health work and after school recreational activities will be undertaken as well.

Ark, Nov. 7—John Harshaw was killed and Bill McFadden was wounded in a fight at church near here Sunday. Hershaw was stabbed in the temple by McFadden when he attempted to quiet a disturbance between McFadden and Izaiah Bird, who later shot McFadden and escaped. McFadden has been arrested. Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist Church The Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist Church at 37th and Wadsworth streets, has taken on renewed activity with the return of its pastor, Elder P. G. Rogers from a two months' trip in the East. While there he attended the General Conference Fall Council at Springfield, Mass., and then visited Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D. C. and Chicago, ill, as well as visiting cities in New Jersey and Delaware. Mrs. Rodgers accompanied him and altogether the trip was profitable to the highest degree. The Church here in Los Angeles together with its friends welcome their Pastor back and judging by the splendid audiences that have been present at each service, their appreciation is of the certain kind. Sunday night, November 11th the Pastor will give a stereopian sermon entitled, "The Spiritual Side of the Vitamin Theory." It's one of those special sermons that Elder Rodgers makes so interesting that his audiences leave the church well paid for the hour spent. Sabbath, "Saturday," at 9:30 A. M. a most interesting Sabbath School is conducted under the leadership of Dr. A. C. Garrott and the preaching service follows at 11 A. M. To all of these services the public is cordially invited. The church building is inviting, restful, comfortable and every service is planned with the end in view of it being a spiritual feast for all.

MORRIS and MABLE SIMMONS, Proprietors UNITY AND DILIGENCE NECESSARY FOR ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT The weekly meetings of the Pyramid Cooperative* Association are still being held every Thursday night at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Hemlock Street near 12th. As a result of the Pyramid meetings the people are beginning to think on fundamental things which are a matter of personal and vital interest to them. These fundamental things are food, clothing, and shelter; the greatest being food. The people are beginning to realize that food is the basis of all civilization and that with out food nothing else can be produced. They are further realizing the fact that a race that has the ability to produce and market foodstuff, capturing their own trade as well as the trade of others, has power that can be had in no other way. Since Negroes are always considered last in every civic activity. Since politically colored people are a nonenity and socially they are ostracised, the speakers urged that Negroes take immediate action to correct their general civic condition by taking steps to correct their economic condition. This they can do by joining the economic movement that the Pyramid Cooperative Association represents. The people were adhonished that the present time demands unity, diligence and the adoption of a sound economic policy.

Phone: HUmbolt 4574 97 RI SIDENCE 963 E. 1RD STREET HUmbolt 75464 Friday, November 9, 1928 THE NEGRO AND THE ELECTION Now that the election is over and the country has gone overwhelmingly Republican, WE have time to think the situation over, and take stock of the part the Negro played in this campaign we can perhaps more easily decide as to which of the Negro Groups took the more logical course in supporting the party that has always been friendly to the Negro or by deserting the party to take part in the ranks of the party that has always been the enemy of the Race. Since the American people through the use of the ballot have spoken in such unmistakable terms by defeating the party and the candidate with the largest plurality of any election in the history of the nation. The falacy of such action can readily be seen. Aside from losing the election with an overwhelming majority, what reason or explanation will these leaders of the race give to their own people with whom they must live and associate, through the years to come. Some will say of course that they did it as a matter of protest against the Republican party, but this seems to be an unreasonable argument to join the party that has opposed us to vote against the party that has helped us to my way of thinking is not good reasoning. We are living in a new age of practical politics. The day of the ward healer politician is past. Oratory and promises of things impossible of accomplishment fall on deaf ears of the average voter today. This country cannot be run on talk and promises. The people are looking at the government of these United States as a big business. That must be run on a practical business basis which only a man of the type of Herbert Hoover can successfully fill as President. Home, Schools, Churchas, Employment and some money in the banks are of far greater interest to the average citizen than a few political jobs. When we as a people can see and seize our opportunities in these lines of progress rather than spending so much time worrying about how many will get some little insignificant political job, we will be able to command the respect of other people. Now that the election is over, let us forget the past. Let the prodigals return home and let us get down to business and do something for the race — T. F. JONES.

Los Angeles, Cali* Page-Five Page---Six i EDITORIAL GINKNCING: RiBIS@RURE aI acall For many thousands this year the Christmas saving fund has simplified and in some cases solved the Christmas finance problem. Through the medium of this most modern of money saving plans many millions of dollars were accumulated this yearsand are now available for spending or reinvestment. With- out the Christmas saving clubs a very large percentige of those who have received checks this year would face Christmas vir- tually penniless, They have been helped to save and can en- joy the blessedness of giving, the pleasures of Christmas shop- ping and, if thrifty, the satisfaction of reinvesting.all or part of their Christmas saving checks. = For another Christmas is coming next year and money will be needed for more giits. Christmas funds distribnted this year will have been spent or deposited for permanent saving. To meet this future need those who must save to have should join a 1929 Christmas savings club now. Delay means getting behind in the small weekly payments. Also, the clubs should he joined now amidst the multitudes of object lessons in content- ment and disxppointment afforded, respectively, by those who joined and those who did net join the 1928 clubs. Again next rear there will be the envied and the envious. Perhaps the larger portion of the Christmas fund savines is expended for gifts. The cconomist might point out where great benefits would accrue to society if the Christmas savings fund in toto was reinvested at interest. Being a theorist the economist cannot Enow what usurious interest in the jov of giv- ing and shopping is extracted by the recipients of Christmas savings checks, AFTER TEN YEARS Hostilities in the World War ended ten vears.ago, but peace with its beneficent influence did not follow at once. The high expectations which the signing of the armistice aroused were destined to be delaved in fulfillment. In pll its hideous features the war was launched suddenly. Agreement to stop fighting when the enemy could fight no longer was found to be one thing, while settlement of the multiple issues growing out of the conflict was a diferent matter. Ending the human slaughter Was found to be far short of restoring the lutely embattled na- tions to a state of repose, The process has been under way for ten years and the end is not yet. There is encouragement, how- ever, As we observe this tenth anniversary of the armistice there is more reason for confidence in the future than in any previous observance of the event: Among the vanquished there is mani- fest a more pronouncéd disposition to accept the verdict of arms. Among the victors there is less disposition to demand the fulfillment of impracticable conditions. There has been peace but it has been asresisted peace. Europe now seems moving toward an agreed peace, a peace which all nations welcome, and thet is the only stableepeace. There seem to be tangible grounds for rejoicing. If the repetition of a slogan with increasing emphasis year after vear has had any noticeable effect in the formation of a commendable hahit this is the time when evidences of early Christmas shopping should manifest themselves. Every avail- able device for memory jogging is being pressed into service. Circulars, posters, advertisements and letters bear the admoni- tion “Do Your Christmas Shopping Now.” There can be no doubt that many of the objectionable fra- tures of late Christmas buying in recent years through apoli- cation of this slogan have very materially been eliminated. The early shopper needs no proof that he is benefitting others by his prompt attention to Christmas buving. Store clerks are espec- ially grateful for the relief aforded by spreading out the holi- day shopping season. Postal workers are equally grateful for the extension of the rush season and the advancement of elev- enth-hour mailing of Christmas packages. TUESDAY’S RESULTS From the National standpoint last Tuesday's results, aside from'the expected production of “I told you so's” present an unusual aspect in politics, by bringing forth to the party such strange bed fellows as Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Ten- nessee and Texas trying to get in makes a paradoxical situation to say the least. As a matter of fact the victorv is abnormal, made so we veribly believe by the injection of religion and the Eighteenth Amendment. Re that as it may, let us hope that the victory means bet- ter business, better times and greater opportunity for all man- kind. If the solid south is really broken and states mentioned have formed the Republican party, let them realize that they have Chosen different company than thev have been keeping and act accordingly. Therefore we shall wait with a deal of interest and see what we shall see. There should be a law against a husband borrowing with- out the knowledge of his wife, and similar restriction should he put on the women folk, thinks the manager of a loan association. Well, now, how ahout that? Some of the most wonderful surprises of married life are sprung because one member of the’team drives up_in a new Ford, or because there is 2 fine gold watch on the Christmas tree. On the other side of the slate, there is many and many a heartache because a man is found to have borrowed so deeply that the wealth he is supposed to have accumulated simply isn't there when his affairs are settled. The making of a loan for a secret purpose without the knowledge of one’s life partner, generally bespeaks distrust. And domestic discord over financial matters can have no more fertile breeding soil. The best way, after all, is for married people truly to live as one. That’s what thev get married for. THE ELECTION IS OVER—NOW FOR BUSINESS The election for 1928 is now over, the results are now hiss tory and there is no reason for anyone being disturbed, It is therefore very appropriate to get right down to business and win out in that realm of effort. Business should he far more alluring than the uncertain quest for position, wHich is uncer- tain to say the least. On the other hand the successful business man’s term of office is forever if he so wills it.. Therefore we move that we all get down to business and do our bit to make California and Los Angeles bigger and great- er than ever before.

WHEATON { ———_—_—_—_—_—_— sof, When this is read by those who have the patience to rexd this column. the presidential race will hgve been run and the ywinner of the handicap chosen by the people, acclaimed, All rin-all, this hes been the most remarkable campaign for the pres- idency the nation has ever known. Party lines have been sev- cred: party issues swanned or appropriated by the opposition: jreligious and racial enmities fanned to a fever heat, and politi- cal buneombe permeated the air from every angle. Prominent [men of affairs have reversed their opinion, and stultified their progressive standing, Senator Rorah, Charles Evans Hughes, and other lesser lights, have swallowed their dose of crow. On the other side, Senator Simmons, ex-Senator Gore, Heflin of Ala- bama, Upshaw and lesser lights of the Democrat party, have swallowed the nanseaus dose of the opposite party, For the first time in years the brother of color has been uncertain of his |volitieal standing. He made acknowledgement that he was. literally. not only shown the door, but kicked down the steps iby the Republican pariy. Some of them refused to go and re- turned by the back door, Others were more independent, and took the party at its word, Whatever the national result is; whether the victory rests with the Democrat or the Republican jparty, one thing is assured, and that is, the colored voter as a jdyed in the wool partizan, is a thing of the pest. . * <8 es | It has been amusing to sutdy the colored yoter: To attend \their meetings and hear their political testimonies. Jt has been vt splendid study in race psychology. At one meeting the asser- tion was made that if the “Mon who died on the cross was to [run on the Demoerat ticket he would nut vote for Him.” Anoth- jer remarked of the visit of Goy. Smith to the birthplace of Lin- coln at Kentucky, “That it was a desecration of a man of the ltvpe of the Governor to visit so sacred a place and it was a won- der that the bones of the Martyr President did not turn over in his grace.” Bob Church wrote » long letter the gist of it was, that he hed an interview with the cundidate of the Republican ‘Party, and ha had not heard of any one of color having an in- jterview with the Democrat candidste, therefore be would dis- revrd the affiliation of the K. K. K. and its kindred with the ‘party and support the Republican candidate. He even consent- jed to cover up under the same sheet with the Hedins, Bob ‘could not serve with the regular anpoinied leaders of the ‘Jim Crow” section, said Hawkins and Scott and that coterie lacked experience. It would have been alright had Rob and Howard [end Cohen handled the “Doremi", Well, Bob got in on that letter and that helped some. 2 «© = Ye @ | One other thought and then.we ere through with politics, | Whatever the outcome of this election it has demonstrated that ithe forces of bigotry and intolerance are active in shaping the affairs of this country. Never before have they been so thor- ouchly unmasked. They have been driven into the onen and their nerniciousness exposed. We have sought to find of what benefit such organizations as the Klansm:n, which openly ad- vocates hostility to freedom of thought: which seeks to fan the flame of hate which lurks in racial antagonisms; advocates vio- I: tion of the law: flaunt its defy #t constituted authority and ‘vids and abets murder and raving by encouragement of mob rule and race lynchine. ‘This electon has been a test of Ameri. ‘can Democracy. Will the student of American nolitics affirm that the nation has met the test fairly? Fas the blight, the can- lcer which is undermining the st»bility 6f popular government, and which has been paraded in the snotlight of publicity awak- ered the nation to the peril or shall it be lulled into its former apathy, only to find when again awakened that it is too late for the scalpel of the surgeon. Somewhere we have seen that “The a enemy to PROGRESS is PREJUDICE.” * * * om The big German “Zep” has come dnd gene. It was the pie oneer of things that mizht be exnected. It is acknowledged thet trans-oceanie sir travel is far from heine perfect. The tris] while successful as far as the negotiating of the route is con- cerned, was not satisfactory either from a commercial or finan- cial standpoint. Passengers who for a thrill were willing and. able to spend $3000 for a sixty hour ride are none too plentiful. The toll for freight would be too stupendous and the hazards | of safety are insufficiently developed to make the flights ponu- lar with the masses of the people. As great as this big air ship jis it was but an experiment. Motors more powerful will have to be installed to buck successfully the gales of the air and the need will have to be increased by half beforestravellers will forsawe the comfort and safety of the steamship. There was lone passenger who peeled potaloes for his trip across and gain- fe more notoriety then any of the $3000 passengers. or even ‘he skipper himself. He is a New York caddie named Terhune, ‘who stowed himself away, No fear that thev would drop him’ into the sea when found. ‘Talk about thrills! That youngster got more thrill out of the ride than any of the $8000 passengers. With just a little more imagination and nerve than the ordinary run of youngsters, he has succeeded in gaining a notoriety which will bring him fame and fortune. i s 8 8 8 * The human mind seems to be possessed of many auims and ouirks. If one sere fo put in the greater part of his or her time trying to fathond its depths or untagle its intricacies, we are afraid that Him or Her would find themselves entagled in such meshes that they too would be placed in the category of the “Peculiar.” What appears to many normal people as the most cold-blooded murders, where the culprit kills for the thrill and practices viv-section on the victim, or kills in order that they may be credited with the most perfect crime, are puzzling, even tothe expert Alienist. The young woman in Lake Bluff (Illinois)-who burned herself to the bone; thrust her legs and | arms into a furnace to “purify her love and prove her faith”; self immolation. It is a pity that she could not have lived after. the harrowing experience. A study of her mind twist would have proved a great help in the study of mind psychology. - | Here is something which possibly might interest some folks. San Francisco, California pays the little sum of 56 million dol- lars in income taxes. Los Angeles follows with the neat little sum of 55 million dollars. To be exact the combined income tax of the two make a total of $112,208,807.92. That is one-fifth of the total taxe receipts of the nation. Prosperity has poured out from the big end of her cornucopia and yet some of us are not satisfied. Which is as it should he. Satisf*ciion breeds stag- netion. We know what stagnation breeds. We have examples of it in communities where the members of the Race sit snugly by the chimney and dream while the wheels of active progress whirl. They dream of the past; live in the past; and when death catches them, will have died thinking of past glories. . * . * * Down in little Nicaragua they elected a president, Sunday, the 4th. The election was supervised by Marines from the Unit- ed States. One might think it strange that this government ‘should have to see that there was no repeating or stuffing of the ballot. But you must remember that certain interests have a penchant for a certain eandidate, and although.there might not be any outward show of interference with the elec- torate a quiet pressure will insure the election of the candidate wanted. Over in New Jersey the Federa! government stands ready to give protection to the voters and to see that there is no ‘illegal voting. We wonder why that was not done down in Georgia, Alabama. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and several other bailiwicks where, for years, they have, under threats of death, prohibited qualified citizens of those sections from ex- ercising the right of franchise. Oh well! It makes a big differ- ‘ence whose Pull is being gored. : The Red Cross mace its report of expenditure for Mississ- ippi flood relief. It amounted to over $17,490.000.00, That money represents the open-heartedness of the people of this na- tion. That huge amount was collected and spent. It was col- lected with the understanding that it would be impartially dis- tributed, The money came from the purse of the laborer and the financier. Each contributed to the best of their ability. Yet, prejudice had to mar the doling of the contribution and the at- tention of the public called to the fact. A careful survey was made and the complaints were verified. One would think that after the experience of the Mississippi flood that the distributers of the Red Cross funds would be careful not to discriminate in the distribution and den! fairly with all sufferers. It should be the thought of those who expend for the sufferers, and who are paid good salaries for doing so, that the money that they handle comes from the poor as well as the rich, and is contributed with- out regard to color or race, But we learn that there has been gross discrimination in the dealing of the Red Cross agencies in the entastrophe that brought death and destruction to Florida. Women and men, Colored, who have been working among the destitute and stricken members of the colored people have com- plined of the discrepancy. The sick and needy are without medical attention other than that which can be given by mem- bers of the race. Physicians and nurses are giving of their ser- vice freely. They tell of people sick unto death living under, picces of canvass stretched from the limbs of trees without nour- ishment, and of being turned down by Red Cross agencies when | succor Was applied for. . * * * * ; What is an education? We have hear? the seying so of- ten, “He has no education.” We have heard it said of persons who have made a success of their lives. We know folks who, have but the fundamentals of book theories that have outdis-, tanced many collegiates in life's race. If a men or woman is not. equipped for the battle of life by sound sense anda reasonable | knowledge of what it takes to give and take in scrimmage, that | man or that woman will have a Serious time when they are compelled to rub elbows or shoulder with this butling world. A good equipment of book lore, if it is practical for the use in ev- ery day life, is necessary for the negotiation of success, whatever the undertaking. We often think that much of the fuilure of eur race youth, who have had educational advantage, is due to placing too much stress on book theories and not being able to divorce the practic] from the theoretical. | * + + * Will some of our preachers please explain why thev preach tolerance and practice intolerance; why the ysav that the church and state should stand separate and apart; yet advo-, cate from the pulpit activity in politics? It seems so absurd when all of the evangelistic sects foum and froth for:fear that some church of a diffcrent faith would seek to usurp the power of the government, To the indifferent laynian it would seem that the right course to pursue would be to everybody keep hands off, We were approached by a lady who wanted our support in the repeal of the Boxing Law. That lady had never seen a pair of boxing gloves. Her knowledge of the gime was as unsophis- ticated as could be. When questioned #s to why, in her opinion, the law should be repealed, her answer was that of the stock parrot, “It created bad racial tecling whenever a black man hoxed a white one: it was a most disgusting spectacle to see two big men punch one another about, especially if they were of a liferent race; and it*brought to the community theives, pick- pockets and thugs, and finally nothing but the most degraded nf men were spectators and patrons of fights.” Weil, we like occasionally to attend a good exposition of the “manly art of self defense,"” and we declined to be classed in the catezory of | theives and thugs, so we felt that the female reformer didi’t | snow what she was talking about. We think that there was a | good many who were in the same boat. | URAT TI 0 CDAMG. come. fiverable place, A got BY: DR. C. W.

WITH the final celebration of victories won through the country, on questions national and local. But of all the questions in any state that were voted on and won, there was no victory that drew more nationwide attention than the downfall of the move against legalized boxing in California or Amendment No. 5. BORN IN GREED AND PREJUDICE How in the world the ministers throughout the state who lined up to kill export so humane in the disposal of its profits as to build and support homes for veterans just because newspaper interests actuated by greed and prejudice chose to recruit them is beyond comprehension. MIXED BOUTS In the first place if it is whispered that some one failed to receive their demanded shekels from the Godfrey Uzcudan gigantic. Angered at this, they went back 50 years to rattle the dry bones of race prejudice. Of course they knew there are always people small and narrow enough to consider the question of color important. So they told the white ministers what the white race was in danger and they told the Negroes that they were being barred from mixed bouts. ROTTEN, BUNK-BOTH! NEGRO BALANCE OF POWER Theres where the danger lay. For the Negro vote is the balance of power in this state and is always a deciding wedge. If the antis had been able to keep the black voters fooled they might have won out. But the deep thinking leaders and women of the race saw through the Tale representations, and not only supported the present law but worked hard in its favor. BRUTALIZED WOMEN One of the last straws that helped to break the agitators backs and line our women up strongly against all women published editorially in a morning paper last week captioned "Boxing brutalizes wemen spectators" What a venomous accusation to be made against the mothers, sisters, and sweethearts of boxers who go continuously to see them manfully perform in their chosen sports! And the thousands of other women spectators who attend because of the red blood in their veins that thrills at all physical contests—do they come away from the boxing bouts any less ladylike and gentle or are they rongh brutes? The women resented such names so many who were disinterested to look up the fight for slandered womanhood. A FEW FALSE PROPHETS Of course there were a few colored false prophets who disgruntled because the Veteran's Leagued did not have fortunes to scatter to the four winds when they falsely claimed they could manage the Negro vote, or because they were not progressive enough to be promoters themselves who fought with the "yes" crowd but they did not count and were swallowed up in defeat, with those they blindly followed. BOXING HERE TO STAY So boxing is here to stay and colored boys will be allowed to box any nation, they are capable of meeting so long as they perform worthly. Baby Gans will be lightweight champion before six months and Jack Thompson will be wetterweight champion as soon as Dundee is ready for his second knockout.

World's Champion Laughing Fight Fan Is Discovered NICK MIRAULA GETS BASE BALL AND BOXING PASSES Eya-ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! How often from high up in the balcony at the Olympic you have heard that wild, long fingering laugh ring out above the thud of gloves and the din of clapping and cheering. For a long time the owner of that famous laugh has never missed a boxing contest and just at a critical moment of the hostilities the great crowd half startled and wholly amused would turn in spite of themselves in an attempt to discover the owner of the famous burst of merriment. Well, we have discovered him at last! He is a young Italian by the name of Nick Miraula, with a fruit and produce firm at the 8th St. Market. Nick's laugh is so infectious, it usually starts everybody in the place to laughing. So the baseball promoters keep Nick supplied with season's passes because of the good humor he brings with him.

From Dodge City over night the passengers will travel by rail on the Santa Fe to Las Vegas, New Mexico, and from there fly to Los Angeles and Oakland, stopping at the Grand Canyon for breakfast en route from Las Vegas. The east bound service provides for the take off from Los Angeles in the morning with a flight over the Grand Canyon and the scenic points in Arizona and New Mexico, landing at Las Vegas, where the Santa Fe train will be boarded for the night run to Dodge City, thence by plane during the day to Columbus, Ohio, again boarding the Pennsylvania train due to reach New York early the next morning.

LOYALTY For the stalwart Pullman Porters of the Los Angeles District who refused to be bluffed into voting in the company of action due to the fact that three of the men who were members of the secret council of the Brotherhood turned traitors to the Organization. The company was able to wage a bitter fight against the men. These traitors because of their knowledge of the brotherhood's secrets were valuable in directing the Puppilman Company how to act, as a consequence the men relied to and were given the third degree by the officials and stool pigeons. Certainly the ones who held out deserve a great deal of credit for their courage and manhood and the rest of the district should take a less son from the example afforded by these men.

Every hotel of any importance in every city in California is alphabetically listed in the folder, with the rates per day, with and without bath; also containing several illustrations and other information to help boost the California hostels and encourage travel to the coast during the coming Winter season. This state, the official declared, has more hotels and better ones and a greater variety of them than any state in the Union. The list proves that.

Benjamin Smith was promoted to the rank of a Bus Boy last week but after two days on the carpet he found himself on slats again. Several section of the Lark, The Sunset and Padre were required to bring the 20,000 foodballs fans to L. A. Saturday to witness the defeat of Stanford. Eddie Hayes was drafted into Club Car Service last week for one trip. But at that it was one trip too many for Eddie. Walter Rippeau and his Star Crew with Diner 10014 were among the eleven diners parked in the local yards in L. A. Saturday on The Stanford Special, this crack crew are of the hank pick variety out of the Oakland Commissary where a reputation has been built up from the many special parties handled. They returned on Second 102 Sunday Evening arriving in San Francisco, Monday, this crew operate regularly when not on Specials on The Gold Coast Limited. A scarcity of men in the Oakland commissary caused a call being sent to New Orleans where nine waiters were recruited and brought to Oak land to releive the shortage. Paul Grant and Chas Tavanier pass the time during the day in dear old San Francisco visiting in Golden Gate park—So they say they did. S. T. Phillips was questioned as to why he carried has hand bag to S. F. for such a short trip. S. T. says he is making preparations for his friends during the Yule Season. Plans have been prepared for the construction of a brick and stucco passenger station at Delano California at a cost of $30,000. Two bed rooms cars off the Lark caused a bowl to be made by the waiters. SANTA FE SIDELINES Hugh Henderson and J. W. Bailey are constructors of no mean ability.

To be listed in either of the yearly anthologies, that of O'Brien or The O'Henry Prize Memorial, is a distinction coveted by the finest American writers, not only has the fortunate author, gained the approval of outstanding critics but he has also the pleasure and gratification of being in the best of literary company. This year the Saturday Evening Quill Club of Boston (an association of Negro authors) is receiving the congratulations of authorism. In the list of "Best Short Stories of 1928." Mr. O'Brien has included names of three members of the Quill Club attached to four stories selected from the first annual publication of the club, which appeared in June. The names of the authors are not unknown in Negro literary circles and it is not the first year that Dorothy West and Eugene Gordon have had recognition in the anthologies, but their continued appearance is guaranty that their good work is not accidental. Besides Dorothy West's story, "An Unimportant Man and Eugene Gordon's two stories, "Coldblooded" and "Alien" the "Black Madness" of Gertrude Schalk was also selected by Mr. O'Brien. The fact that these writers are young (two are in their early twenties) is also a good augury. Objects When Florida Is Called Center of Race HATE (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Oct. 30. Because of an editorial appearing in the "New York News" the editor of the "Tampa Daily Times", a white publication in Florida, has taken exception to the editorial and scream line and proceeds to lay the editor of the "New York News" the Hon. George W. Harris, at present directing the colored division of the Eastern Speakers Bureau and calls the attention of the South to the Democratic party in the following terms: "Is it a pity that the Negro has been made an issue in the presidential campaign. But he has. This has not been done by the southerners, seeking to hold the solid south in line for democracy, but by Herbert Hoover. Republican candidate for the presidency, and by the Republican party itself, in its national platform. The Times asserts that when Secretary Hoover in March of this year, for the effect it might have on the race of a Negro running for place as delegate at large to the Republican National Convention from the State of Ohio as a supporter of the secretary for the Republican nomination, changed the status of white and Negro clerks in the census bureau who had been separated since William J. Harris of Georgia was director of the census under Wilson, and threw them into closer working contact, the Negro became a campaign issue. It could not have been otherwise when Herbert Hoover later became the Republican nominee. "The Times asserts that when the Republican National Convention deliberately chose for its demand for anti-lynching legislation at the hands of congress, presumably its demand for the passage for the unfamous Dyer bill, which is the anti-lynching legislation now pending and the only piece of the sort brought before the national legislature, the title, "THE NEGRO" by which the Congressional Record of June 21st, this year, shows it to have done, the Republican Party, made the Negro a campaign issue. "In the City of New York there is published a Negro newspaper known as the New York News. Its issue of September 22, 1928, is on our desk. It is interesting. "One cannot pick up this issue of the Negro News without having attention riveted upon the fact that it has made a disreputable dig at the State of Florida in regard to the recent hurricane. "It will be recalled that when the hurricane of 1826 struck Miami and that vicinity the then governor" of Tennessee said that it had done so because of Florida's "general cussiness" to use an apt expression and not to quote that gentleman's exact words. "The New York Times", Negro newspaper has particularized concerning the most recent hurricane. "From its front page, running completely across that page and at the top of it, above the paper's name, even, and in much bolder and larger type than that name appears, there screams at you from big black type nearing an inch high this rather startling pronouncement: 'Palm Beach in Race Hate Center in Ruin.' "So according to the Negro New York News, that portion of Florida, the Palm Beaches and the section contiguous thereto have been visited with the fury of the elements because they are race haters! it is preposterous, of course. it is not to be thought that it is believed even by the New York Negro paper which carried that line. But it is calculated to create hatred of Florida among a class. it is slanderous of Florida. For that reason it should stir the just indignation of every true Floridian. The Times contemplates that it will do just that." Mr. Harris then answers the editor of the Times, which publishes his editorial verbatim, but the Times concludes, with the parting shot: "it is still true so far as the South, at least, is concerned, the Democratic Party is the white man's party. We cannot imagine Southern white people forgetting that when they vote on the sixth of November."

Suit Against Judge Atwell is Dismissed Suit Against Judge Atwell is Dismissed (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—A $50,000 suit for slander brought by Atty. F. R. Serri against Judge William H. Atwell of Dallas, Texas, was dismissed here this week by virtue of a decision handed down by Federal Judge 'Campbell in Brooklyn. Judge Atwell sat in Brooklyn while two of the local judges were on vacation the latter part of July and all of August. The remarks complained of by Mr. Serri were made by Judge Atwell in passing sentence on Mrs. Angelina de Luca, who was convicted of selling whiskey. The Texas judge not only criticized the lawer, but advised the woman that she should move her family out of a district where Negroes lived. Judge Campbell in dismissing the suit said in part: "The law is settled that judges of courts of record of superior or general jurisdiction are not liable to civil actions for their judicial acts even when such acts are in excess of their jurisdiction and are alleged to have been done maliciously or curruptly. The question here presented is solely one of law. The complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a case of action."
