INSTITUTING A REIGN
OF TERROR
We have no word of advice to those who break the laws of the land than to say they should be in better business and if they presist in unlawful acts they must without complaint suffer the consequences of their acts by the law.
This situation however does not war rant or does it call for the imman- geration of any reign of terror, neither does it mean that there is any color line for infractions of the law.
Frequent complaints come to this office which savor of gross brutality in making arrests and the despilation of homes without due process of law, unlawful conduct of peace officers are just as violous as any other sort of lawmesses. If a man violates the law he is subject to arrest but not the subject of the butt end of an officers gun or black jack unless he should with force resist lawful arrest. We cannot condemn such tactics too severely and we hereby call upon the higher up officials of this city to so act that this condition shall not exist. We note with the county law enforcement that all law breakers look alike to them and they are not sniffing around to beat up some poor and defenseless black man who might perch be found in a leisure hour in some of the waside club rooms or walking the streets in search of work. These conditions should not obtain arrest law breakers without the wholly unnecessary beating them up.
New Orleans Assured of Jim Crow Beach
New Orleans Assured of Jim Crow Beach
New Orleans, La., Feb. 5.—The city's colored population will positively have a bathing beach this summer. That assurance was given a delegation of Negroes inquiring into the matter by Joseph Haspel, president of the Orleans Levee board, Wednesday. The delegation, headed by Walter L. Cohen was told by Mr. Haspel that until a permanent bathing beach for Negroes is decided upon the levee board would set aside the lakefront at Milneburg for their use.
Owing to the uncertainties in the lakefront development project, it is impossible for the board to set aside any definite area Mr. Haspel said, adding that the board would make permanent disposition of the matter as soon as possible.

Police Officials' Attention Called
Rising to the defense of traffic officer, W. C. Coleman, stationed at 9th and Cenral, Mr. Davis of the Davis Nut Shelling Company, wrote a letter to the chief of police denouncing J. D. Chabot who has been circulating a petition to have him removed.
The letter states that he with others of his race has always found Mr. Coleman to be strickly business like, courteous and careful, fair to all, but enforcing the traffic laws at all times on this busy corner.
It also states that there would be many more accidents if such lawbreakers as the petitioners would be allowed to go unscathed.
It seems that Mr. Chabot received a ticket for a flagrant violation of the traffic law, and out for revenge enlisted the name of a man who works at the oil station on that corner and three or four others that that he could inject enough predjudice in to accuse officer Coleman of discountey to white people. Officer Coleman's record is such that it is said that the petition will have little affect other than to show just how narrow and small some human beings can be.
Mrs. James P. Bratton and her daughters, the Mrs. T. Curtis Smith and Stanley R. Whisenant were joint hostesses to fifty two guests at a bridge luncheon on Saturday February 2nd at the Bratton home. A Valentine motif in decorations was accuminated by red candles and flowers of the same color.

GRACE COMEAUX
fi Amendments to the Mattoon Act now before the state legislature for adoption, will insure a safe and economic continuance of the county's public improvement program, and yet protect property owners from over assessments, according to County Counsel Mattoon.
In a recent address before the Traffic Commission, Mr. Mattoon said that limitations should be placed in the law to prevent the overdoing of public improvements, and yet permit the construction of needed projects, such as are included in the major traffic street plan.
One of the principal amendments to the act provides that the estimated cost or a project, plus outstanding indebtedness for former improvements, shall not exceed one-third of the assessed value of the land in the district.
Another amendment provides an alternative plan for direct assessments of a definite amount in addition to the ad valorem plan now in use. A property owner, under this amendment, can pay off his assessment in cash, or let it go to bond.
To prevent the possible overriding of majority protests, an amendment provides that a fifty-one per cent protest cannot be overruled by a legislative body.
Another amendment reduces the period for which bonds may run from thirty to a maximum of twenty years Another reduces the period of deferred payments on the first installment of principal from five to three years.

15-Year Old Girl Gets Life Sentence
New Orleans, La., Feb. 6—Mabel Downs, 15-year-old girl, sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge A. D. Henriques of the criminal district court for the killing of a man some six months ago, was denied a new trial by the supreme court.
The girl was indicted for murder and the district attorney urged the jury to return a capital verdict. She was found guilty of murder without capital punishment and Judge Henriques imposed the life sentence.
Attorneys urged a new trial because they contended there was insufficient proof of the corpus delicti in that there was no evidence introduced to prove that the dead man, on whom the autopsy was held, was the man whom the defendant had shot. The supreme court held that the sufficiency of the evidence was a matter for the jury alone to decide and the court could not pass on this question. There were no other important bill of exceptions filed and the verdict and life sentence were affirmed.
Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 5-With the legal machinery being whipped into shape for an early trial, friends of Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, indicted on charges of soliciting and accepting a bribe, are rallying behind the well-known alderman and Republican leader and declaring that he is a victim of a frame-up. Supporters of Fleming express the opinion that his indictment was simply an attempt to discredit Negro leadership in politics and to divest Fleming of his power in Republican circles. They further state that he will have no trouble proving that he is innocent of the charges, and this belief is also that of the Councilman himself.
A POWERFUL POLITICAL FIGURE
Fleming is recognized as one of the most powerful and important cogs in the political organization headed by Maurice Maschke boss of Cleveland and national committeeman for Ohio. Schooled in politics by the late Mark Hanra, whom he shaved during the twelve years he worked as barber. Fleming years ago stepped into the limelight politically and built for him self an enviable position and reputation. He was elected to the city council in 1969, and has been reelected each time since.
His position in the council is as influential as that which he holds in the Republican machine. For a number of terms he served as chairman of the police and fire committee and in other important capacities. During the national election he was active in the Hoover campaign and was one of the presidential electors from Ohio.
THE CASE
The indictment of Councilman Fleming, resulted from charges brought by Walter Oehme, crippled policeman, who declared that Fleming had solicited a bribe for favorable action on legislation authorizing the "city treasury to pay the doctor's bills and other expenses of the officer. According to Oehme, he paid Fleming the sum of $200 for securing some $1,700 for him and the promise of an additional sum of more than $300 for which the councilman was using his influence to have the payment authorized.
Fleming denied the charges and challenged the prosecuting attorney to produce the check, which should bear his endorsement. The cashier's check, alleged to have been for the amount paid by the policeman, and endorsed by Fleming was produced and the indictment resulted. The councilman pleaded not guilty and was released on a $1,000 bond.
The case has rocked the political circles of the city and has aroused much interest, with its various ramifications. One of the angles, in which little credence is put, is that the police officer has received several "mysterious visitors" and had been advised to leave town. Another is that Maurice Maschke, the Republican chief, had advised Fleming "to be calm".
Maschke denied the statement and declared that his advice to his colleague was "to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth." To the query as to his opinion of whether Fleming is guilty, he replied:
"This is the United States. I have always understood that each and every American citizen is to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. That is all I care to say about it." Fleming's position with the Maschke machine has not been affected by the charges, and Maschke is standing by him. Speaking of Fleming's importance to the "machine." Maschke said: "I really owe Tom Fleming far more than he owes me. Fleming always has been one of the chief party but warks in this district."
ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORT
ELEMING
Several organizations, including the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, have expressed confidence in the integrity of Fleming and have offered their support. Typifying the statements issued by organizations, is that of the Seventh Ward Republican Club of which Dr. L. N. Bundy is president, which as follows:
SUNDAY JANUARY 13, 1929
Have just read in the Chicago Defender the true story of a lynching in Miss. This is the most horrible and blood curdling story I have ever read. Not satisfied with the burning alive this human being, but just before the torch was put to the gasoline, soaked body and pile of wood, (a white man, an American citizen, husband, a father, a church member, who claims to be a Christian and a civilized man, yes highly civilized, jumped upon the tied down man and with his own pocket knife sharpened for the purpose cut off his ears, laughing and cursing as he did so.
A number of women, American citizens claiming Christinity watched with shouts of glory this horrible, heathenish and brutal murder. Just now as I am writing I am hearing, over the Radio, a sermon by Dr. Helens, at the first Methodist Church of this city. How can I reconcile these two conditions, both perpetrated under the same flag
The white American citizens hold the reins of Government in their hand they have the power of control, they claim to be a civilized Christian nation. The church spires of this country are piercing the sky by the thousands and prayers are being made by the millions, and yet what are we doing to stop lynching? I say nothing. How can any Government or any minister invoke the blessing of God and expect God to hear, when in their back door yard they have witnessed the burning alive of a human being. In my opinion, every white American citizen who does not do all in their power to stop such brutality as are guilty in the sight of God as the members of the mob. White people, can you not see that you are sowing seed for an other rebellion? "Eyes we have but ye see not." Just what you have measured to these black people will be measured back to you full measure heaped up, pressed down and running over. You cannot disregard the command of the Divine law in one instance and expect the blessing in another. Ignorance of the law excuses no man. There is only one way to appease the resentment of the oppressed and that way is to give them their rights. Read the preamble of the Constitution of the United States and see if we are even obeying the desire of U.S. If the club women of the United States would stage a campaign against lynching and against segregation both would soon be done away with. If the Churches would, in a combined effort, start a crusade against lynching and segregation, take a firm and determined stand for equal rights and opportunity for all, regardless of race color or creed, and live the great command of Jesus, the Christ, then they might expect the blessings of God to fall upon the churches and the Nation. The youth of the world is questioning the teachings of the church and well they might. Never in the history of the world was there a greater need for the banner of Brotherly Love to be lifted high and higher and higher. We, the recognized Christian leaders, the recognized leaders of education, the recognized world power, are building our houses on the sands of graft, greed, selfishness and pride. A house built upon the sand will crumble and fall. Can you not see the tower trembling upon its false foundation? If this house stands and we (the White Americans) continue to hold the reins of the world we must now not tomorrow, begin to build into this foundation stones of justice for all equal rights to black as to white, break down the doors of selfishness and segregation and open wide the doors of equality and opportunity to all American citizens, both black and white.
DR. ELZORA GIBSON Los Angeles' grandest event! Tenth Annual Fashion Show and Dance by the Phys.Art-Lit-Mor Club. March 22d Majestic Hall, 15th and Main.
"The recent indictment of Thomas W. Fleming in connection with charges of bribery and the manner in which it is treated as a news feature is equivalent to trying the case and rendering a verdict outside the courts provided for that purpose. We, with a membership of nearly 3,000 people, outside of Mr. Fleming's political vicinity, have implicit faith in the integrity of Thomas W. Fleming and a confidence in no wise shaken by these sensational reports."
On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B.
UPON THIS VISIT to New York, while I was not making a survey I took occasion to look Harlem right in the face while she was too busy to realize that an outsider was intruding. It was the Saturday night before Christmas and all over Harlem not a sound could be heard but the voice of the Jew. He not only owns the stores patronized by my people, but peddles his wares from bannas to cooking utensils along the streets, and they buy.
In Harlem the Jew has made a psychological study of the Negro. He knows what he wants to eat and wear, and when he perchance runs across a Negro who in thought has crossed wires with the average, he takes it upon himself to adjust him to his proper attitude of thinking. For instance upon this particular Saturday night or which I have spoken, I stood apart in a large market entirely patronized by Negroes, when a rather neatly dressed colored lady came in and asked for Lamb chops. The Jew scrutinized her for a moment and then said, "We don't keep lamb, its pork you want."
Without a word the colored lady turned about and walked out of the store.
But this was only one instance. I have gone in other stores and heard Jews dictate to colored folk just what and how they should buy and in response for this vindictiveness. I have seen only a smile and a purchase.
Now, I don't mean to say that there are no Negroes in Harlem doing business, but what I mean to impress upon you is this, that year by year, the Negro population of Harlem is increasing and the Jews are constantly getting a stronger business foothold.
I realize that there are those in Los Angeles who would say, what have we to do with this?
Harlem is practically made, and there are so many Black folk there that I imagine it would be as impossible to exterminate Harlem of them as it would be to drive all of the rats out of the United States. But here in Los Angeles our Black belt is in the making, and it is up to us to profit by Harlem's example, and just now lay a business foundation that will make us if not better producers than consumers, equally as good.
WHILE IN NEW YORK, I visited the Amsterdam News ostensibly to see Jimmie Smith, and found him arrayed in all the glory of a successful news-paperman; spread out in front of a desk two sizes larger than "little Jimmie," with a cute, petite, tintalizing brown-skin secretary at his side, whom he introduced as Mrs. Smith, but when I smiled my approval of this procedure, the little secretary herself chimed in—"But I am not Mrs. Jimmie Smith"—I took a long respiration and was guided into the other departments of this paper which has promise of becoming New York's greatest weekly. And it looks like our "little Jimmie" has deserted his Central Avenue pals and is henceforthe one of the bright newspaper lights of Seventh Avenue.
Well, Jimmie's friends, the little boy seems to be thriving on Harlem's fare, and is destined to be a fixture on the Amsterdam News.
MRS. NELL HUNTER, soprano of Durham, North Carolina says, there are no barriers if you are prepared, hence she is sailing for Europe for courses of study with Ira Aldrich in London and Madame Marchesi in Paris, after which she will return to America and walk in on Grand Opera.
THE LOS ANGELES Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will celebrate the organization's 20th Anniversary with a Lincoln Day Banquet at the Somerville Hotel, Tuesday evening at which time the general public is invited.
Let all who stand for Justice and Fair Play come forth and make this banquet a memorable success.
The National Association is an organization that has stood the storm of adversity for the past 20 years, and its fight is one for justice and equal rights for all citizens—Black or White—under the law.
The principal speaker for Tuesday evening will be Frederick Warde, tragadene in the famous Mission Play; President H. Claude Hudson; Dr. J. A. Somerville; Prof. J. C. Banks; Hon. Titus Alexander; John Brown's granddaughter and others.

"JUNIOR COLLEGE"
(Editorial By Alex. Thompson, Jr.)
How can one classify any junior college? in answer to this question I would say classify it by high or low standards, the faculty, subject offered, the quality of the student body as compared with its quantity, standards of admission and advancement, and the general attitude of the institution towards its responsibilities. What real makes a college is its spirit the nobility and devotion of the faculty, and the earnestness and high morals qualities of the students; these gives
to a college the spirit which makes the surrounding atmosphere pleasant. (C) very important factor towards the solution of the problem of the small, but poorly equipped college, is the present movement toward the establishment of junior colleges, which frankly offer the first two years of the customary college program and devote all their energies to doing these two years well. Many towns are taking steps towards the movement of establishing junior colleges, and the movement particular in the West is likely to become a general one. The Junior college has the advantage of giving the student with only two years to spend, the feeling that he is finishing the particular job on which he started. The principle of the junior college has for sometime been recognized at the University of Southern California after study of the whole question, has reorganized its undergraduate system with the junior college as a basis.
In my opinion it is easy to misjudge conditions in any particular college because popular repute follows actual conditions. Almost invariably the reputation, whether good or bad is at its height sometime after the investigation has ceased to deserve it. Junior colleges, like other living organizations, have ups and downs, and while the college with good equipment and standards never fall so low as the highest point reached by those not so blessed. Still there is a great choice at any given time among colleges in any given group. New, the growing group toward a recognition of the difference between good and bad Junior Colleges is partly the result of a growing desire on the part of men and women to patronize the college where they think they will make the best investment, and get the best returns. A large number of Junior colleges, large colleges, and university men and women are about to recognize the following quotation:
"If a man empties his purse into his hand, no one can steal it from him. He pays the best interest." It is to the scholar's advantage to invest in the
$775
4105 Central Avenue
best institution. Our own Pasadena Junior College, with its monotonus C. and D. groups, offers young men and women, who are not able to go off to college wonderful educational opportunities. Two years earnestly invested in it would pay very good interest.
As far as the student himself is concerned in his choice of a college the whole question of the particular subjects that he must study to enter or graduate which is relatively unimportant as compared with a correct questions like the following: "Is this Junior College a place where the faculty believes in the vitality of the subject which it teaches, rather than in the divine and literal inspiration of any particular technical program for a degree, a which in all probability it will change in a year or so? In conclusion I wish to make this statement.
A real junior college young man or woman at the base of all the major line of subjects, has a definite idea as to where they are headed, and whether they are going to continue their formal education of graduation.

GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH
REV. T. F. JONES, Pastor
Sunday was the closing day of the great union revival and it was truly a glorious day.
The Pastor's of the two churches occupied the pulps at the morning serves. A large audience worshiped at Grant hapei at the eleven o'clock service. The Pastor spoke briefly on the subject "Benefits of the Church Membership." He asked each one who testified to say how the church had benefited them. Wonderful were the testimonies of those who spoke some of whom had been members of the church for more than sixty years.
At 3 P. M. all went to Macedonia for the special lecture for men and women, given by the evangelist Dr. Jeltz. The church was crowded. The closing service was held at Grant Chapel Sunday night. Although the partition had been removed in the church to accommodate the large crowd, at 7:30 the church was filled to overflowing and many were compiled to stand through out the service. The evangelist preached the closing sermon and like all the others it was a wonderful sermon. Dr Jeltz without doubt it the greatest evangelist of the race today. At the close of the service the people showed their appreciation in a very tangible way. Mrs. Jeltz made remarks expressing her pleasure in having had the opportunity to work with the people of the community in the revival and for the many kindnesses showed her. The people of South Los Angeles will ever remember this the greatest revival in its history. Dr Jeltz also expressed his appreciation for the wonderful support and co-operation of the people in the meeting. One hundred and thirty-five persons were received into the two churches. One hundred or more converts. Next Sunday morning the converts who joined Grant Chapel will be baptized. At the evening services all will be fellow-shipped into the church. The pastor will preach at both services Sunday will also be Building Fund Day. All Grant leaders will make their reports Sunday night. The Junior choir will sing Sunday Night.
FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST Church
Rev A. P. Ramsey, Pastor
The meetings of the Friendship Baptist were splendid and well attended. Sunday February 3. A lively covenant meeting was held in the morning. A soul stirring message was delivered in the evening by the Pastor Rev Rumsey after which the Lord's Sinner was given.
The Sunday School department is doing exceptionally well under the supervision of Miss trima Rumsey, as Superintendent. A Junior and Senior debating team has been organized, which brings more enthusiasm into the meetings.
The B. Y. P. U. is another lively department at the Grindship Baptist Church The President, Mrs. B Moore, is doing a great work among the young people.
The choir is progressing rapidly on the set of New Anthems which were selected by the music committee.
Miss Irina Ramsey has received her colley degree, from the University of California, Los Angeles. Branch She received a grade of 'A' (which is superior) and she is highly honored by the members of the Friendship Baptist Church. She is honored be cause she is one of our group, she has set a standard for our people as one of the young lady's of Los Angeles. Everyone should be proud of her and if you chance to meet her, give her a hearty hand shake and congratulate her for her success.

It is useless to say the house was crowded. The House was packed at 6:30. Later people came in with folding chairs under their arms, that they might have seats.

Educators and Profess ional Men and Women To Tour Europe
(By: A. N. P.)
Chicago, Feb. 5 - Plans have been completed for the fourth annual tour of Europe by physicians, according to an announcement made by Dr. A. W.伯力塞威 Williams, 2545 State Street, who inaugurated the movement and who has headed the party each year.
Dr. Williams, who is one of Chicago's foremost physicians and surgeons and a member of the neuro medical staff of the Provident Hospital, further announced that this year educators and other individuals interested in visiting the old country would be included in the party.
"We were forced to do this," said Dr. Williams, "because of the numerous requests from groups not connected with the medical profession. Each year we have discussed the possibility of doing so and with the new arrangement which enables us to secure more accommodations it has been made possible."
The party will sail from New York City, July 3 on Steamship Kingston, which is due at Copenhagen July 12. The tour will include visits to ten countries and nine capital cities, covering a period of sixty days. Special features have been planned for every group in the various cities to be visited. This marks the fourth "European Travel Party" conducted by Dr. Williams and requests are coursing in already for reservations.

MOVING ON Co-operation in all of its fullness is the cry of the hour and certainly if we are to get anywherealong the lines of business it must be along the line of pooling our strength or in other words co-operation to the utmost. Therefore we are much encouraged and elected to note the movement set on foot by the Pyramid Co-operative Movement which throws open its doors this week for business. And we believe it offers to the people the most excellent opportunity to show their mettle and build up all sorts of institutions which they have ever had. The first unit of the Moving On movement is a first class, fully stocked grocery store and market. The location is at 2604-6 Central Ave. This is but a beginning of an intensive drive to wedge in and be a part and parcel of the real business fabric of this community. The movement has been well studied out and has had the best thought of experiencedand intelligent leadership. There are quite 50 members to each unit all interested share and share alike and we can see no reason why this store and the many others contemplated should not be an unqualified success. The movement deserves our united support. It is worth while for our future, for truly we are MOVING ON!
A LONG TIME LEARNING
Modern civilization is co-operation. That is a good thing to remember when reading the pessimistic statements in a lot of reading matter that is being tossed about.
Wherever exists a beautiful building or a big factory or a fine, smooth road, there is evidence that a lot of men who could save money and a lot of men who could think and plan and a lot of men who could work, all have been helping each other. Such structures and achievements mean co-operation of the highest and finest type.
The ideal of good business is that every man shall have the chance to help in the way he best can. The inventor is a useful man, but some of the best inventors have been poor men. They could not make the things they dreamed of until other men came to their aid. But the men who had money could not bring out the inventor's idea without the aid of the men who were willing to do ordinary days' work. All three would be at a standstill unless they were willing to help each other.
Some figures were issued recently about three of the largest concerns in the United States. Together they had over 200,000 stockholders. That meant that all those people had put in their savings to do business together and had contributed almost $4,000,000,000, which was called the total capital. The businesses gave employment to almost 500,000 workers. Probably more than 2,500,000 workers thus were supported and the wages that they drew amounted to almost $750,000,000 a year. Those are the figures concerning the people immediately concerned in these big business interests. But because of these concerns, millions of other people also had jobs and earned money. And by what they were able to achieve, millions upon millions of persons, not only in this country but all over the world, were able to make a living and enjoy comforts and luxuries.
The world was a long time learning the way to play the game, but the great mass of humanity had little property, little leisure and hardly any liberty until the method of co-operation was adopted. There is much injustice and wrong left in the world, but that exists merely where the ideals of the system have not been observed.
THE PRICE OF PROGRESS
Twenty years ago songs made their appearance in the Middle West months after they won popularity on Broadway, the women in the interior were several changes in style behind those in New York, and the village dandies depended upon the traveling salesman to bring them the latest cuts and shades. Now the myriad wireless waves and the almost as myriad motion picture houses extend the range of the ear and eye from sea to sea and overseas. People snowbound in Alaska and Broadway flappers and boy friends dance and sing to the same music. The radio and phonograph explain it. And because of the newspapers, films and magazines the flapper on Main, street wears the same hat and frock that is being worn on Fifth Avenue. Dancing masters are not alone in observing that motion pictures and the radio are standardizing the taste of millions of Americans. To all it is apparent that the provincial and insular tends to disappear in this age of movies, light ray and electrical recording, radio and motor touring.
America may worship standardization, but it would be reluctant to see the process of standardization extended to dialects, sectional customs, Southern cooking, idiosyncrasies of dress and manner and idioms of speech, which are the real secret of the modern wanderlust.
W. J Y WE LAUGH
Men and women laugh because they are happy or amused. This, at least, has been the universal theory; but a London psychologist comes forward with the self-contradictory theory that the really happy man never laughs and that the unhappy man cannot laugh. According to this authority, the laugh is a hideous grimace, the smile alone being beautiful and permissable.
It all depends on who does the laughing, whether it is beautiful or comparable to the snarl of the hyena. Perhaps it is because we are so used to laughter, thanks be unto Infinite Wisdom, that these dicta will strike most of us as the twaddle of a seeker for notoriety. It is true that there are all sorts of laughter, some of it unpleasant and some aroused by a sense of the ludricrous, but in its more welcome sense the word betokens harmless merriment and a reflection of the charm and beauty of living.
A cynic is a man who thinks everything rotten except his precious self.
We always call it the week end, but it seems to develop a stupendous amount of energy.
America spent four millions last year for firearms, and even more for other methods of divorce.
How dear old ladies are shocked to see girls do the things they vainly longed to do at that age!

COMMENTS
BY: W. J. WHEATON
If nothing serious has happened in the political life of the nation we have, at least, had some interesting matters. First, those two splendid exponents of American sportsmanship, President elect, Hoover and his late opponent for that office, former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Both are vacationing in Florida. They had met once before. During the World War when president elect Hoover was regulating the food supply of the nations he and the former governor sat together on the platform. It was one of the patriotic meetings during that period. President elect Hoover, signified his desire of meeting his political adversary, and the way was paved for the meeting. There was no formality. Just two good American sports; a winner and a loser, meeting reminiscing; seeing the humorous side of the campaign so strenuously fought, the winner receiving the sincere good wishes for a successful administration; a hearty handshake and a "Good bye." They had left their differences of opinion and their ideas of government to the arbitrament of the people, who had decided, and three the matter closed. The true spirit of honest Americans.4
* * * * *
Then, there is a little humorous riffle on the political waters of Illinois, where the "daughter of Mark Hanna" elect ed congresswoman at large for that state has been accused of "Bossism." Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neil, an assembly-woman who essays to be a leader of the political women of Illinois, says that Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick thwarted her in the endeavor to be appointed to the chairmanship of the educational committee of the state Assembly. It seems that Mrs. O'Neill has a big peeve and allowed it to gain control over her political sagacity. If she ever has a chance at state leadership it certainly went a glimmering when she allowed her self to get on the impulse of hear-say informaiton. Mrs. McCormick blandly denies the assertion and gives an alibi by proving that she was in Battle Creek, Mich., resting when she was accused of dictating the policy of Illinois state politics from Washington, D. C. Mrs. O'Neill said that Mrs. McCormick dictated appointments at the expense of the Illinois women. Mrs. McCormick says "As a congressman elect she has no patronage to offer. Its just the case of one woman trying to dethrone another. But "Mark Hanna's daughter" is the political equal of any.
Governor Young has appointed superior judge Rolfe L. Thompson, of Sonoma County to be justice of the third district court of appeal to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of Justice E. C. Hart. In commenting on the appointment the Governor said "The question of appointment to third district court of appeal has been carefully studied by me during the past week. There are in the thirty-five counties of this district many excellent judges any of whom would have justly merited an advancement of this kind. The fact that the San Joaquin and the North Sacramento Valley are both ably represented on this bench has narrowed my field of choice to the mountain counties to Sacramento County and to the coast counties, the latter two, owing to their larger population and greater amount of litigation, having apparently the better claim. Fortunately, the home of judge Thompson was among the coast counties. I am informed that Judge Thompson while serving as appellate justice pro-tem has written over one hundred opinions. Members of both the supreme and appellate courts have assured me that these written opinions are especially clear and sound."
Senator Hiram Johnson, chairman of the senate immigration committee has decided that the committee call interested government officials before voting on the Nye resolution which proposes to delay application of the national origin provision of the immigration act for one year more. The summons includes Secretary of State Kellog, Secretary of Labor Davis, and Joseph A. Hill, commissioner of immigration. The Senator says "It is absolutely essential that the most definite information regarding the provisions be afforded the committee before it can act." It is believed that the committee desires to question witnesses as to the mathematical accuracy of the proposed national origins system which would base immigration on the origin of American stock.

Some fellow got to "snoopin around"; prying into Perry Howard's affairs and unearthed $31,000 that Perry had banked above his salary as Assistant U. S. Attorney in the Department of Justice. They are going to make it appear, whether or no, that Perry trafficked in Federal appointments. They are not only seeking to dethrone the erstwhile political leader, but they seem determined to blast his political future. Do you hear of any of the anticipants for political preferment in the future rushing to his rescue? Not if you notice! Down in Tennessee they are still a big squabble over that post job in Memphis. As the Englishman said, Bob Church is fighting for his political life. Don't see any of his associates in the late campaign falling over one another to help him. But then, Bob while on the Hoover band wagon, lost caste with the generals of that division by calling them bad names.
It seems as if there is a concerted effort to discredit Negro men who are prominent in political life by accusations of accepting bribes. The Hon. Thomas W. Fleming, who has represented his district as Councilman for almost a decade, is the latest to be accused of bribe taking. It seems as though one Walter Oehme, a former city detective, now a cripple, claims that he gave Flemings $200 for the introduction in the city council of a measure to pay his doctor bill. Whatever else may be said of Tom Fleming any charge of dishonesty will be resented by his many friends. Even his political opponents, those who have and will again fight him on the grounds of political policy, will fly to his rescue when any matter which attacks his integrity of character is brought to the fore. It is felt with assurance that the people of Cleveland will resent this attempt to drag the reputation of the Councilman in the mire and rally to his support. We have previously stated that it will be well to keep a watchful eye and an open ear, because you are not safe, even in the political house of your friends. The gentlemen who have been stripped of the "hooded sheets" are working their machinations under a different guise.
The fine Italian hand of the power monopoly is seen in the efforts to delay the building of the dam at Boulder Canyon by introduction in the legislatures of Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona of measures either inimical to the six state ratification of the pact, or a delay in starting construction. The persistent fight made by Senator Hiram Johnson and the California delegation in congress for the passage of the bill which made the project possible will go for naught unless the people are aroused to their danger. Apathy is the great disease breeder which lulls the American electorate in fancied security until some great cataclysm awakens them. It may be too late, or strenuous efforts will have to be made to offset the gains made by corporations
who are ever alert, and grasp every opportunity to increase the power of their hold on what should remain PUBLIC UTILITIES.
We received from a friend in Missouri a copy of a speech by the newly elected Governor of that State. We could hardly believe our own eyes when we read what Governor Henry Caulfield had to say concerning the facilities for an education offered Negro youths. He starts off by saying, "Our Constitution and laws require the establishment of separate schools for Negro children in Missouri. Putting into effect such a requirement as this is in violation of the constitutional right of our Negro citizens unless the facilities provided for them are equal to those provided for our white citizens." Then he goes on to say, "The State has failed to provide this equality of facilities. The Missouri State university, with splendid buildings and equipment and large annual expenditures is provided for the white children. There is no university worthy of the name provided by the state for the Negro children. If the latter would obtain a university education they must leave the state of Missouri. This is unjust and UNCONSTITUTIONAL."
After contrasting the inferior facilities of the Separate School system of the state, Governor Caulfield says further that "The law makes no provision for the establishment of schools for Negro children in any school district where there is less than 15 children. There is no such limitation as to white children. Consequently every white child has facilities provided for its education while more than 4000 Negro children are denied a common school education." But, the phrases which has our commendation is his words of recommendation which follow. He says: "I recommend that provision be made for developing the Lincoln university, which now has no standard university course, into a university in fact. I also recommend that provision be made for giving all Negro children a common school education equal to that provided for white children. This might be accomplished by requiring the establishment of a school in a district where the number equals at least 10, and by requiring for that number, or less, payment by the district for the transportation for each pupil, for its attendance at the nearest colored school. He hits the segregation of children while he used together, such as the institutions for deaf and mute children, as humiliating and unkind. He handles, without a mincing of words, the conditions existing in the penal institutions where Negro prisoners are housed in an old cell house built in 1868 and with 147 cells housing 1,003 men. All in all, Governor Caulfield gives evidence of a broad-mindedness that could well be emulated by the majority of state Executives.
The color question seems very much alive in South Africa where there is a political struggle on between the factions headed by Premier Hertzog, Minister of Interior Malan and Minister of Justice Roos, and that headed by General Jan Smuts of the South African party. There was issued a manifesto declaring against the induction of the native question into the policies of the government. It states that the leader of any party aiming to place the Kaffir and white man on equal footing everywhere cannot co-operate with the government "which is endeavoring to make South Africa safe for the white man." The manifesto continues by saying, "South Africa is now facing two conditions; one the preservation of South Africa for the white race, the other a sure and certain abyss as the final destination. If South Africa must really be handed over to the native, then let the white man know in order that we may prepare ourselves by needful measures for safety, though it means seeking a home elsewhere." They certainly must be some former inhabitants of certain states in the United States of America sojourning on Africa's golden sands. That wail certainly sounds familiar. The fear of predominance of some race non-white seems prevalent in the breast of most. It is no wonder though that the South African white man is fearful. Not satisfied with usurping the country; he has practiced cruelties against the native which have attracted the attention of Christian civilization the world over.
Like our citizens down "Dixie" wav, they have been so grossly in human in their treatment of black people that they live in fear of retribution. They sing the song of "Race Supremacy" in the upper register with the accompaniment of tooting horns and booming drums. They seem fearful of an equal test of manhood or even break of opportunity. But as was wisely said by Booker T. Washington: "To keep a man down you have got to stay down with him." With the sunlight of understanding breaking through the most clouded intellects, and the lifting of the cowl of ignorance and superstition from beclouded eyes, people, no difference the race or color, are seeking their place in the God-given light. Usurpers of power have cause to worry and to have bad dreams. The hand writing is on the wall, and men may as well come to the conclusion that the iron heel of oppression can no longer be used with impunity. Everywhere, throughout the ends of the earth, there is an arousing of consciousness among the people. It seems a strange co-incidence that there is an awakening which is destined to assure the fact of the brotherhood of man. The evolution of thought in the attitude of race will make an interesting and profitable study.

AROUND THE CHURCHES
ABOUND THE CHAPHERS
FIRST A. M. E.—The Sunday morning services were very inspiring; six children of the Sunday School were taken into the fold of the church, Rev. Robert House preached a very soul-stirring sermon. In the evening his topic was on telling the truth—"The Truth Shall Make You Free"; this was very interestingly rendered. Another conversion was male at this service.
CALVARY BAPTIST—Services were as announced in last issue. Rev. W. A. Jones is the pastor in charge.
FIRST BAPTIST—The First Baptist Church of Venice is left without a pastor due to the resignation of Rev. J. W. Jordan.
SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE
Feb. 1. A banquet was given to the young men of the Edy District by the Masonic Club, an auxiliary of the Crescent Bay Lodge, at the Masonic Hall, 18th and Broadway streets. The spirit of the occasion was represented in the profusion of colors that decorated the Hall. A very delightful dinner was served. The young men of athletic ability and accomplishment, who had on previous occasions donated their services to the organization were the honored guests. Chief among these were Sammy Jackson and Geo. Savage.
A very interesting program was rendered by the talented young men in Bay District, Harvey Porter, musician, monologist, and radio artist for nibbish the bright spot of entertainmen' several short addresses were also made by the young men. Ronald and Bernard Jefferson of Los Angeles were special guests, they participated in the speaking. The rest of the program was filled in with solos and other musical numbers. Roscoe Bay Broyles, Master of Crescent Bay Lodge, was the principal speaker. Arthur L. Reese, president of the club, acted the part of toastmaster. The purpose of this meeting was stressed as being a get-together affair—to impress the youth of today of the fact that they are the ones who will guide the future progress of the race. This effort on the part of the Masonic Club to function as a service club is in keeping with the ideals that have long been present among others of the community. The banquet was a fine success—and let it be hoped that the bright future seen, through this movement, will come true.
WHIST TOURNAMENT - A Whist Tournament was held by the Sunflower Club, (pardon last week's error) at the Masonic Hall. Prizes were awarded to the winners—and losers. A light luncheon and refreshments were served. There was also dancing and other entertainments. Miss Juanna Lewis is the president of this organization.
SICK: Mr and Mrs. Hamilton of Venice, are reported to be doing nicely. Mrs. Hamilton sustained a broken arm from a fall recently. Miss Helen Wharton, who was confined to the S. M. Hospital, is home now—she is doing fine.
VISITORS—Mr. Artis Ward of the Ward School of Aviation was a visitor or at the writer of this column, Monday, Feb. 5. Mr. Ward is planning a lecture to be given here in the near future, on the subject of Aviation. Mrs. Georgina Matt's of Los Angeles spent the weekend at Lyons Rest. Mr. W. W. McDonald of San Diego spent a few days also at Lyons Rest. Mr. Turner of Oakland and Mr. Wm. Wheatly of the same city were, visitors of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lyons. Carolynne Snowden and others of the cast of "Hey, Hey!" a new Fox-Movitone picture now in process of making at the Fox Hill Studios, are taking their meals at Lyons Cafe.

‘This is a resume of the investiga.
tlong and findings by Harry Guggen-
helm, of the Daniel Guggenheim
Fund for the Promotion of Aeronau-
tics.
1. Accidents that took place in pre-
War flying were often due to struct:
ural failure and inexperience, natural
to a new art. Mechanical failure such
as the breaking of a wingf for ex|
ample, are today: unknown in fying
‘with the best modern equipment. |
2. “War time accidents are still act-|
‘ively in our memories and we have im-
pression of heroic air fighting and air
jcmmshes. However, these accidents,
should be no more attributed to flying
than the dangers of cavalry charges
should be confounded with those of
horseback riding.”
| 2. “Stunts flights probably have not
taken life in great numbers, but an
account of their extreméfy spectacular
nature, accidents from ieere flights
have closely follewed by the public.”
4. “Reckless private flying have
been the cause of many acgldents, but
here again this uo more a normal
eanger of flying than a reckless driv-
ing of a young man in a motor car,
which crashes into a telegraph pole,
is a normal danger of motoring.”
5. “Experimental flying constantly
cmuses the death of many aviators.
These are pioneers who like other pi-
oneers throughout the ages, are
;thoroaghty conscious of the danger
and make the supreme sacrifice so
that humanity may progress.” ~
6. “Military and naval aviation have
in. the past accounted for nearly all
the flying but that time is rapidly
rassing. War is not exactly a safe

and naval aviation are an item of the
price" we must pay for preparedness
im time of war, But aceldente in thls
necessary service must not be laid
at the door of commerical aviation.”
“Commericial aviation should not
be Hable to any of these dangers.
Transportation of passengers under
properly organized conditions has
‘reached a state of safety comparable
with other means of transportation.”
“As {0 construction and operation:
there are some fundamental econgmic
considerations in air fransport which
offer opportunity for comparison with
other form of transportation. For ex-
ample, the cont roadways and railways

Bully For Mississippi!
Bah for New Hampshire!
BY: WILLIAM PICKENS
(For the Associated Negro Press)
The "Tri-State News," some pandering press agency of New Hampshire thought they would make a "hit" with Mississippi. They hoped, by a method of prostitution of service, to "get in" with the south and increase their circulation in that section. They did not know that all first-class south-
INTEREST IN "KITCHEN CABINET" IS KEEN
CHARLIE MITCHEL WOULD
GO TO BYSSINIA
BY: JAMES HOWARD
(Asso. Negro Press Correspondent)
Washington, B. C., Feb. 5.—The guess workers who have been busily engaged in selecting President obey Hoover's cabinet, have said nothing yet about who will be members of the "kitchen cabinet," or, as it was known during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, the "Black Cabinet." Several names, however, have been mentioned, notwithstanding, there seems to be a sort of feeling that as Mr. Hoover is pledged to carry out President Coolidge's policies, there will be little for the group to expect. Yet, "hope springs eternal in the human breast," and the names of such keegee, John R. Hawkins, director of persons as Dr. R. R. Moton of Tus-Negro Republican activities during the late campaign: Perry W. Howard, member of the National Committee from Mississippi: Robert Church of Tennessee, Robert Van of Pittsburg, nare mentioned among those who will likely be consulted by the incoming administration should Mr. Hoover make a change in the Coolidge policies by selecting some of the group for any political plum or plums.
Following the usual custom of applying only for these positions formerly held by colored men, candidates for recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia are coming to light.
Martin R. Powell of Wathence, Ky., is a candidate for Mr. Free's job. Mr. Powell is said to have been an original and enthusiastic Curtis man. He is at present the librarian of the House of Representatives. He is backed by National Committeeman Mulvane of Kanaas.
Charlie Mitchell from Charleston, W. Va., but now a resident of the District of Columbia, would very much like to represent the U. S. Government as minister to Abyssinia. This desire is due, doubtless, to the fact that the present incumbent of the recorder's office, Arthur Free, is from West Virginia, and is sitting pretty on the job since his boyhood friend, one of the famous Hatfields, has been elected to the United States Senate, succeeding a Democrat.
Rumore has it that Senator James A. Watson, who is to become the next Republican leader of the Senate is supporting Earnest Teddington of Indiana for the position of registrar of treasury, should the new president decide to restore this job to the race group. John R. Hawkins is recovering from a major operation. He declines to talk about the political outlook for the group under the forthcoming administration.
ern editors are now much more civilized than the type of Yankee "editors" who run the "Try-State" News. Therefore, after the Negro was burned in Mississippi on December 31, this New Hampshire gang sent a telegram to the editor of the Vicksburg, Miss. Herald, praising the lynching by making this flattering offer.
"We are featuring conservative editorial of leading daily paper in the state in splendid defense of Mississippi lynching. it pays greatest tribute to Mississippi and scathingly attacks Massachusetts' attitude toward recent mistreatment and burning of three girls."
But the editor of the Mississippi paper does not belong to the low social order of mind to which the New Hampshire editors belong. The proposition of the New Hampshire crowd was nothigher short of an insult to southern white men of the type of the editor of the Vicksburg Herald.
However, the Vickersburg editor can hold his own, and answer for himself, so we quote the following as a part of his reply to New Hampshire: "It might surprise the Tri-State to learn that the Herald knows of no paper in the south that defends lynching. It is inconceivable that any editor worthy the name could defend mob law. No law abiding citizen can successfully defend murder, and lynching is murder in its most dreadful form. It is brute force applied in an atrocious way and it is a throw-back to the methods of the dark ages. Mob law it allowed to thrive in our country would destroy the freedom and liberty of our people.
"With regard to the two recent lynchings in Mississippi, it appears that the Hattiesburg lynching was a dastardly deed of a cowardly band of brutes with a minor grudge against a Negro. The Shepherd case was entirely different. There is no doubt of his guilt and there is little sympathy for him. But the lynching was unjustified insofar as people taking law into their own hands. Shepherd could not have escaped a legal death on the gallows and punishment meted out in that manner would have been effective and would have saved Mississippi another black mark against her name. "No state can thrive where lynching thrives. What thoughtful person would come to a state to make a home that stands first year after year at the head of the lynching column? No real progress can be made in Mississippi until lynchings are stopped.
"We have not seen the Tri-State editorial defending Mississippi lynching, but we want to tell its editor we do not defend lynching and that no other southern paper we know of defends mob murder. His editorial holds no interest to us save, perhaps, reading it in order to get a slant on the workings or a Yankee editor's mind."

"Narcotic King" Arrested in St. Louis
(By: A. N. P.)
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 28—Jesse Cooper, 58-year-old, whose attractively furnished home, in Kirkwood, a suburb, was raided by Federal narcotic agents and city detectives Friday, told newspaper reporters that he had smoked opium for twenty-six years and had been peddling it since 1921.
"The panic has been on lately, that is, Federal agents are in town making a cleanup, and I haven't been making $50 a month," he said. "Before the panic, business was good."
The narcotic agents reported that they kicked in the kitchen door of the beautiful bungalow despite four locks that held it, and seized two smouldering bills from the kitchen stove, into which Cooper had thrown them.
The bills according to Federal Agents, were marked and had been used by an informer who reported that he had purchased yen shee (opium product) from Cooper. He is said to have told the informer, "I can't get you any morphine, the panic is on. But I can sell you some yen shee." In the bungalow, the agents found a radio worth $500, as well as a high-powered-automobile in a basement garage. Cooper owns two bungalows. A bunk used in smoking opium and a complete opium-smoking layout were

Virginia Pastor Advocates Two Party System!
(By: A. N. P.)
Richmond, Va., Jan. 27.—With Virginiaans and other southerners urging the appointment of a Southern white man to the cabinet by President-elect Herbert Hoover, Rev. J. J. Wicker, a white Baptist minister, startled a gathering here Tuesday night by advocating a two party-system of politics in this state.
Rev. Wicker pointed out that two parties were needed "because any party that has been in power as long as the Democrat party cannot be trusted," and characterized the Democratic organization as one of the most "intolerant things ever born."
Negro leaders agree with Rev. Wicker and express the opinion that the future of the Negro from a political standpoint will be solved with a two-party system operating. Negroes are
