California Eagle

Eldorado Mr. Samuel J. Brown, Ex-Manager of The Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company Defends the Integrity of His Company Against the Vicious Attack Made by Attorney Willis O. Tyler With deep regret I read an article in the California Eagle, March 22, past, which pained my mental powers. It seems that the attorney made an address for the Golden State Insurance Company, before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which celebration was held at the Independent Church of this city, March 17, the speaker grouped four institutions as being well founded and that these should receive financial support; among those recommended for support being the Somerville Hotel. He also grouped four other institutions as being bogus and not worthy of consideration, among the last group named was the El dorado Gold Star Mining Company. He made the broad assertion that too much business was wasted in its operation. That the Company was not registered in the State of Nevada, nor did it pay taxes there. These remarks are presumptuous, unwarranted and far from the facts. Following the date the "BLUE SKY LAW" which became effective in the State of California, this Company immediately made application for a permit to sell its securities which was granted under the laws regulating same. Articles of incorporation certified by Secretary of State of Nevada, were filed with Secretary of the State of California. Our Permit has been in force all these years. During my twelve years experience with the Company as manager, the business affairs have been conducted in every detail according to well established Mining Laws. The assessment on the Claims amounting to $1,400 annually has ben done and proof of labor filed with the Recorder's office at Las Vegas, Nevada, and taxes paid yearly both in the State of Nevada and California. These transactions appear in Book Seven (7) Page 416 at Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the work outlined under my management several cars of ore were shipped to the Smelting Companies in Utah. Also several Gold and Silver Bricks. Smelter Receipts are on file in the office of the Company which may be seen by all stockholders or other persons interested. I can truly say for our Secretary, Howard Folke, that he is efficient and honest, and that during all of these years of service rendered by him that every penny of the many cash receipts handled by him for the Company have been accounted for. The books are audited each and every month and always found to agree with his financial report. The Company has weathered all the storms of criticism directed against it and is still afford, can Mr. Tyler say that about the Somerville Hotel management which he recommended as well being found? The members of the Board of Directors of this Company are taxpayers and working men. They are also citizens of unimpachable characters, known for their honor and integrity. Can our verbose attorney testify the same about his recommendations and himself? The capitalization of the Company is $500,000 divided into 500,000 shares of $1 each. Outstanding 150,000 shares, in treasury 350,000 shares. Our proposition is of merit, but lack of co-operation has greatly impeded its progress. There are those of our group who render decisions without acquainting themselves with the facts. I do therefore take exceptions to the assertions made by the lawyer relating to this company as a gross insult to the integrity of its entire official staff. This serves notice also that the property of this Company was leased to a white concern for two years on a royalty basis on April 2, 1939. All stockholders will share in the dividends of the productions produced according to their investments in the stock of the Company. This white concern proposes to spend one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars more in further development of the property and make big money both for themselves and our Company. On the ground of lack of co-operation and undue criticism directed against the progress of the Company, the Board of Directors decided on this plan for the safety of all concerned. SAMUEL J. BROWN, ex-Manager. Erwin P. Werner For City Attorney Deep gratitude to colored voters who are daily rallying to his support and who are conducting an active campaign in his behalf, was expressed yesterday by Erwin P. Werner, candidate for city attorney. Werner's strength is growing rapidly among the coloured people as men and women who have studied the candidate's platform see in him salivation from property, grabbing lien sharks. Especially does Werner appeal to the small home owner who always walks in the shadow of foreclosures and eviction from home. Werner advocates complete revision and reformation of the present system of imposing special assessments. The coloured district of Los Angeles already has felt the weight of inequitable assessments imposed upon property owners to meet the expense of public improvements. Immediately upon assuming office Werner promises to work for enactment of procedure ordinances designed to correct defects in the present state assessment acts. With this accomplished Werner will turn his attention to state legislation, he promises. Werner maintains that assessment should be based not upon the benefit a certain price of property may receive from a special improvement but upon the market value of the property. "It is unfair and unjust," Werner said yesterday "to expect the owner of a small home to pay 50 and often 100 per cent of the value of that home for the creation of a public improvement."

April 11th—Oscar DePriest, President-man-elect, according to advises received by his friends here, is busily preparing for his debut at the opening of Congress next week. He has selected and leased the home which he will occupy while residing in Washington, a residence on You Street between Fourth and Fifth. Arrangements for the place were made by Garland Wilkinson, one of Mr. DePriest's intimates and assist and superintendent of the district schools. The block already has been dubbed "Congressional Row." Mr. DePriest is expected to arrive April 10th, five days before Congress opens. Later advises will begin this as the date his trial will begin in Chicago. His secretary, Morris Lewis, who has also for the past several years held the job of special coordinator in the U. S. Department of Labor at Chicago, will arrive in Washington April 6th to make final arrangements. SEENS CERTAIN TO FACE Despite Mr. DePriest's rugged assurance that the path to his seat in the House of Representatives is clear, The Associated Negro Press has been informed from a source high in capital circles that if he presents himself at the opening of the special session and before the courts have passed on his case that he will be asked to "step aside". Procedure in the matter has already been discussed according to the information given and when the clerk drones out the names of the congressmen as they are sworn in, he will halt when he reaches the name of DePriest and the order to "step aside" will be given. Even the statement to be prepared for release to the press explaining the action, has been planned. It was explained that if he had been cleared of his indictment there would then be no objection. TOO VOCAL It has been learned that white members of the Congress and Senate have been following with interest press reports of Mr. DePriest's speeches throughout the country in which he has been detailing what he would do when he went to Congress. It is said that some resentment has been aroused and that there is a general feeling such activity is in bad taste. These critics contend that the new congressman represents one district, the first Illinois, but that he is assuming to represent all the Negroes in the country. Circular letters have been received in Washington giving details of a special excursion train which Mr. DePriest is planning to run to Washington for the benefit of a large group of admiring friends and racial patriots. It is said that many of Mr. DePriest's friends have attempted to warn him of possible embrassment, but his determininess is said to be one of his chief characteristics. These friends are said to take the position that if he does not seek his seat until the December term when his trial will have been over there will be less cloud upon his title. The new congressman, however, is said to believe that the best strategy is to assume that he will be seated and to act as though (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., April 11th — The National Association of College Women opened its annual session at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. here last Friday with President Dean Lucy D. Slowe of Howard University, presiding, at what was declared one of the most effective meetings the organization has yet held. "The Preparation of eLaders For Negro Colleges", and "College Women in International Relations" were the two main themes which the association programmed, Mrs. Gertrade Woodard, Dean of the Miner Normal School, conducting the first discussion at which Mrs. Mary W. McNelli, a member of the Board of Education, Washington, D. C., was the speaker, and Miss Slowe conducting the second with Mrs. Laura Puffer Morgan of the National Council for the Prevention of War addressed the delegates on the subject, "The Standardization of Negro Colleges." The organization purposes to "Unite in one organization all of our college women for mutual benefit and for united effort benefiting our several communities" "To promote friendliness among college women" "To raise educational standards in colleges and to improve educational standards among our people" "To bring together college women of the two races in the United States in the interest of better understanding and better conditions of contact among the" its officers are Lucy D. Slowe, President; Anna F. Broadnaz, Vice President; Juanita P. Howard, Secretary Treasurer; Carlo S. Lee, Corresponding Secretary; and Ruth Howard, Edna Colson, Brondia Moryck, and Mrs. Erma B. Davis, regional directors. Among the committees reporting were those on Standards, Nomination, Interacial, Fellowship, and Educational Policies. The College Alumnae Club of Washington gave a reception in honor of the visitors Saturday evening. THE NEGRO'S attitude toward business is radically wrong and until he stops long enough to study his own economic standing in the body politic of business, as a whole he will continue to be a failure in most any line of effort. Along Central avenue for instance, cafes figuratively speaking, are constantly opening over night and closing the next morning and this condition is due to the fact that some individual gets it into his head that he can make plenty of money in the Cafe business. He does not go to the trouble to move along the Avenue with his eyes open counting the number of Cafes in operation, and observing closely to find out just about how many are running on a paying basis—and too checking on the number of persons in close proximity with these already established businesses, who eat in cafes, but simply plunges headlong into the game without counting the cost. And when he awakes, it is to realize that he has made a bad bargain. AND THEN there are those who feel that they can build successfully only on the ruins of others. "AS ONE lamp lights another no grows less"—is the theory upon which we should attempt to build big business; for as we strengthen and support our fellow man who has had the start in business, just so we begin to lay our own foundation. NATIONAL NEGRO Health Week should certainly claim the closest attention of our group, and it is hoped by the California Eagle that pulpit, press and politics will join hands in impressing the importance of this event upon the public. A plan recently adopted by the Howard University Board of Trustees for the care of the health of its student body is in accord with the aim of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the National Negro Health Week, the observance of which begins today. All students will be required to submit to physical examination and pay a medical fee of two dollars. Every effort will be exerted to correct defects where found and to provide training that will not only be helpful to the students but through them to the several communities to which they go, after graduation. Recently we noticed that our own State was discussing a bill which provides for a physicl examination for men and women upon application for marriage licenses. "ANTIQUATED and totally ineffective educational standards are shown to furnish the background for such brutal lynchings as that of Charley Shepherd in Mississippi, by Horace M. Bond, writing on "What Lies Behind Lynching" in the Nation for March 27. "Mr. Bond's article, summarized by the N. A. A. C. P., gives a table showing the percentage of Negro population in the lynching states and the relative expenditures on education. In Mississippi where Negroes furnish 33 per cent of the total population between 6 and 13 years, only 10.51 per cent of the education funds of the state are spent on them.

This newest Avenue Nite Club, doesn't seem to be going over so 'hot' here of late. To bad, thighh. This cozy little club, located in the heart of the Central Avenue district, on account of its ideal location, on be the most spot in Los Angeles after third, but can't growing icy. What's the cause? is it that the shows put on by Miss Milred Washington lack fire? Or, is it some other fault—such as—bad management? Let's analyze the situation and see. In the first instance, the question regarding Miss Washington's shows: That can be definitely set aside. Her productions thus far have proven a riot. There doesn't appear on the horizon as yet, any indication that she is about to fall down, or that the shows don't click with the analysts customers. The next question is humour. The next question regarding some man-agencet, or whatnot might solve the problem. Then we might discover a solution where the Kentucky Club may become the hottest spot in town. The club now has been open exactly one month. It was supposed to have been harriedly opened. That is, additional improvements that should have been completed before the doors were open, were to follow later. One month has elapsed, and no further improvements yet. The electrically lighted, or Noon name sign has not been knocked. The advertisement, Where is it? Oh! Then this is the cause. The place has not been sufficiently advertised. A few weak hand bills or placards will not suffice. They've got to put out real dignified advertisement. They have got to inform the people of what they have to offer by way of entertainment. Catch onto yourself, and, let's see, a real honest-to-goodness advertisement campaign.

Three young men who quit the city almost two years ago, to try their talents on the Eastern stage, bring back new laurels and some mighty fine new and original stuff. The trio includes: Flying Ford, Strut Marshall and Haywood Jones. While in the East, they worked the Radio-Kelth-Orpheum time. They were a hit from the start. Their return here is for a 16-week turn over the vastly increased Fanehon-Marco time. Watch for the 3 Black Ace gang. They're tight. I mean!

SONNEBERG TACKLESS SPELLMAN FOR TWO FAILS Salt Lake City, Utah, April 8.—Utilizing A flying tackle, "Dynamite" Gus Sonnenberg, the newly crowned wrestling champion, successfully defended his title last night by gaining two straight falls over John Spellman of Texas. Determined to Save Crown Morgan Gets Nod Over Zorrilla Leaving out at the first bell and landing a tight kick on the charsired map of junior lightweight champion Morgan, the little brown Pamagianan, Santiago Zorrilla took a sore winner at the start of their 10-round battle for the title at the Olympic Auditorium last Tuesday. But the king of his division was in to save his crown so practically the whole ten cantos were in the same key with Zorrilla agressive and key with Morgan hiding inside by pivoting, while Morgan kept out of harm's way by use of Ala height and reach, and by typing up Zorrilla whenever they clinched. Referee Tom Kennedy had to call down Tod in the sixth for this holding tactic. He called the first five even, gave the 6th to Zorilla and the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth to Morgan. Zorilla did not show / show the flashing speed of his other bouts and the effectiveness of his punches that ruined Paul Taylor's features, and really earned him more than a draw in his former meeting with Morgan in Frisco. Just a little over two weeks was not quite long enough for him to renew from the long lay-off the boat trip and be down in the weight at which he is best. Zorrilla was heavy at 129 and the extra (onange hasn't helped him. He looked better last year. CROWD'BOOS DECISION Kennyié's verdict at that was not a point of pride, but a measure of boom from the fans, many of whom cited Zorrilla the right to a draw for his aggressiveness. COLORDED FANS OUT IN FORCE Central Avenue fans with a rooftop club heeded by Chanley Moore andances Cols piled out through the rain the little brown San Blas Indian who has cloaked to make his home with them.

POLITICAL POT PIE Just postponed! is what they say at various headquarters in reference to a campaign of action. Therefore with three weeks to go before the primaries things should pick up surely this week, maybe. George Grant is the pot pie maker's selection for a place on the Board of Education. We are for him because he is qualified and thoroughly able to protect the interests of the people at all stages of the game. Regarding records of the various candidates and the points upon which they ask support., read closely the announcements in these columns. We have found Wood Wilson, the reward goes to Wood for he reported himself on time. He says we shall hear from him further on so he says. John W. Fowler has an important announcement for our next issue. A bond issue in order to raise funds for the construction of a new jail will be made within the near future, it was indicated by Councilman E. Snapper Ingram, chairman of the Police and Fire Committee, who sought insurance in a resolution recently submitted before the City Council. The Councilman was optimistic over the outcome of the project after a consultation with the Finance Committee, which had received the resolution for consideration after it had been heard by the City Council. A favorable report from the committee is expected to be returned to the Council soon. NEW BUILDING NEEDED "The construction of a new jail is an absolute necessity," Ingram declared. "The present jail is a disgrace to Los Angeles and has aroused the criticism of several grand juries and other bodies and individuals familiar with the existing conditions." Councilman Howard W. Davis, as a member of the Traffic and Street Lighting Committee, is responsible for the adoption by the city of the present judicious system of determining whether or not ornamental street lights should be installed in various sections of the city. In contrast to the old system, where a small percentage of petitioners in a neighborhood could obtain the installation of ornamental lights regardless of whether or not the remaining home owners would be assessed desired them the system adopted through the influence of Councilman Davis requires that at least 50 per cent of the property owners to be assessed must see the improvement. This ensures the taxpayers that no lights will be installed unless they are desired by most of the people to be affected. George Underwood reports many contracts and several distracting indemnities in his favor for the 16th Councilman's district. Supervisors of Councilman Win J. Sanborn today pointed to his record for obtaining and constructing viduacs as the most outstanding one of its kind of any public official. Sanborn is situated in obtaining the construction of traffic signals near the Los Angeles area, opening that area and avenues of traffic from the heart of Los Angeles to the nearby district to the heart of the city district to one of the outstanding achievements of his long career as representative of the east side. These visions all ready obtained and others planned for construction in the near future have been paid for without ANY COST BY ASSESSMENTS TO THE TAXPAYERS FOSTER A board of five, composed of health officers from the city, county, and board of education, and two business men, who will determine whether or not the city health department is justified in compelling all food handlers in the city to submit to semi-annual examinations by the department at the rate of fifty cents each, is expected to be appointed this week in accordance with the requests of a resolution recently laid before the City Council Councilman Douglas E. Foster. A city ordinance now in effect requires that all food handlers suspected of suffering from communicable diseases must be examined by the city health department, Councilman Foster explained. He also pointed out that these examinations are to be made free of charge and with the consent of the employer and employee. RICE-WRAY Joining with hundreds of voters in the support of Lester R. Rice-Wray in his candidacy for city council from the Eleventh District, two leaders of wholly separated sections of the district, today placed themselves on record as strongly endorsing Rice-Wray because of his political integrity and success as a business man. In letters recommending that the voters of this newly formed district award Rice-Wray for his service as representative of the taxpayers and a progressive leader in the development of its district I which he seeks election, George Walters of Venice and Dr. George W. Norris, 553 South Western Avenue, urged that the candidate be given support at the poll May 7th. Washington, D. C., April 11th—Pointing out the crying need for better training for Negro women if they are, to meet the industrial demands of the day and urging the establishment of vocational and trade schools by boards of education particularly in colored centers, a national conference of the leaders in the industrial department of the National Association of Colored Women climaxed its two-day session April 6th, by calling on President Hoover and presenting an appeal to the chief executive and to the Secretary of Agriculture that Negro farmers be given full participation in the benefits of farm relief. The conference which called together territorial directors from five regions with Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin of Philadelphia as Chairman, after listening to reports of the gains and losses being made by colored women throughout the country in the field of industry, in its findings urged the appointment of councillors and placement workers who would be in position to advise Negro women workers because they understood the group needs, thereby avoiding the dangers of exploitation. They went on record an opening what they termed an attempt to "Jim Crow" the U. S. Women's Bureau by a "group of aggressive Negro Women" and recommended the opening of model training centers throughout the country. Since a center is being established in Washington where it is hoped it will serve as an incentive for the country. It will be located at 13 f. street in the heart of the government hotel district, where some four or five JOHN VEITH Making a strong campaign and enlisting a healthy support from all classes of the voters from the Ninth Councilmanic District John Veil, for 26 years a resident of the Ninth, an active worker in civic affairs, comes forth leading a host of citizens who are striving for better conditions and a lessening of taxation for the people of his district. Hurling forth his challenge upon a platform of "Honest Representation" he stands as a go-to all favoritism and discrimination and truly the slogan of a "Fair Deal for All" will ever prevail. As stated above he is gaining support at every term and the people seem to catch the vision of the sentiments expressed as evidenced by the strong support he is receiving from all sources. Mr. Veith is no raw recruit; for night unto 30 years he has stood with the common, every day people. He was for years executive secretary of the Estside Property Owners Association and director in many other civic enterprises. Thoroughly posted as to the intimate needs of this great community and the important impact the people according to their wishes and desires and not of fostering the greed of special interests on the already over-burdened property owner.

"We are making a survey," said Mrs. Griffin of conditions which are exiting among our workers in every state where we have representation and urging existing women's organizations to co-operate with us. A number of our delegates here today were appointed by governors of their states at our request, Mrs. Jennie Ross being named by the governor of Maryland, and Mrs. Emma Carter Thompson by the mayor of Philadelphia.

SHOE MARKET 922-326-338 SOUTH MILLI ST tectives with Delivery of Prisoners Not very often one state entrusts another state with the delivery of prisoners, but in this case, which is a rare one, and the first time this state has permitted a colored officer from another state to deliver a prisoner wanted here. Detective "Tug" Carter and Detective A. L. Moore of the Kansas City Police Department were so honored by the State of California when they delivered two prisoners to Oroville, Cal, who were wanted in that city for the murder of Harry Eskitne.

Moore were the guests of Lieut. McDuff and Green, stopping at the Somerville Hotel for a few days. While here they were introduced to the Los Angeles police officials and taken by Officer Stovall and Reed on a few fast "flying trips."

ELECT This is certainly news—that is good news—to the good colored people of Los Angeles. Perhaps, too many of our well meaning people have looked upon our leading race actor as an irresponsible person. Well, they can all drop that opinion. In an interview given the writer by Stephen Fetchit—his name, by the way is Lincoln Perry—Mr. Perry, stated that, "I have wired my aged father in Florida, ticket and money, to come to Los Angeles and make his home with me. People don't realize," he continued, "how I have struggled and planned to get something whereby I could make my father happy. I have made money, and contrary to popular opinion, I have not squandered it. I have not been so lucky that it is not ready for documentary. I cannot keep my father in the south any longer. The hotel people—Somerville—have elaborated a choice suite of rooms especially for dad. "We have both been poor all our lives, and I know he will be more than proud of me to realize that his son was able to make a home for him." That's the part of newspaper work that makes us reporters genuine human beings. This interview further brought out the fact that Stepen Fetchit is a church-loving, God-fearing More than who can homes from lators. EI W City Prime Traymore Hotel Waiters Strike Atlantic City, N. J.

DON'T FAIL TO READ THIS The young people (The Heralds of Tabernacle) are preparing to present to the public a great Christian play, subject: "Miss Nobody," played by 24 great characters. Come and see how "Miss Nobody" bravely stands up for Jesus and leaves a home of luxury and riotous living to follow the straight path, which later causes her girl friends to accept him too. Although one narrowly escapes on her deathbed, but alas! She makes it in time. Come and see Miss Myrtle (the rich damself) pleading to Jesus to accept her who only a few minutes past had said all manner of evil against him. You will surely miss a treat if you miss seeing this play. It is something worth while. Watch this paper for further announcements. Miss H. M. CROOMS, Directress 21 G. CORDINGON Louis J.

SMITH MANAGER THE FISH WOULD BE WATER OFF THEY WERE ABOUT IT RUNNING SMOOTS FGHU of L. M. A. B. A. B. M. A. B. CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS This declaration was made by the Apostle Paul, during his trail before King Agrippa. He makes it in defense of himself and also as an explanation as to why he was being persecuted; why his enemies were seeking to have him put to death. It is an explanation of why he was in all this difficulty; why he had been kept in jail all these years, (for he had been in jail at this time more than three years). The implication is that he could have saved himself from all the difficulty in which he found himself. He could have had his freedom; he could have had his freedom; he could chains which bound him by simply being "Disobedient to the heavenly Vision," which he had seen; by ignoring the "voice" that had spoken to him. A man of less integrity might have taken that course, but not Paul. A man of less character, and less manhood misgust pursue such a course, but not Paul. He would not buy EASE and COMPORT, nor even freedom at such a price as that. The specific thing which had brought on Paul the enmity of the Jews, was his reaching to the Gentiles, and extending them the same privileges as other folk. Following his conversion in which he had gotten his commission, Paul went about carrying the Gospel to ALL people, regardless of race. This stirred up the anger of the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem. Upon an occasion when his duty came to him to go to Jerusalem, Paul's friends tried to dismuse aim from going, but he felt that he was following the path of duty, so he went. He was not there very long before they were beating and shamefully mistreating him. A number of his enemies joined themselves together and vowed not to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. When this became known, Paul was secretly sent away to Ceeaarea, where he stood trial before the procurator Felix, who found him not guilty of the charges brought against him, who in writes of the fact, failed to release Paul. The year was again brought to trial before Festus, who received Felix. The re-entry was the same as before; not guilty. He was later tried before the King Aerippa. He told of his conversion, the vision which he saw and his commission to go to the gentiles. He concluded his defense with the text: "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." This declaration brings us face to face with the thought of "Vision and Performance." Poth are important. They are inter-related. The one is dependent, upon the other. We can not get along well without taking them both into account. 1. Vision How important that is. It is a necessity. We must be able to look beyond things as they are, and see the things as they could be. Everybody that has accomplished anything in the world, has been a person of vision: a person who has seen a vision. Of course vision comes in many ways. The way in which a vision comes does not affect its necessity. It is as true at this time as it has ever been: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I looked at a picture the other day, of a building for which the ground has not yet been broken. Somebody saw that building with his mind's eye; pat is upon paper, so that the natural eye could see it. It is vision that sees the giant oak in the small acorn. It is vision that looks beyond the urchin in the street and sees a useful man of the future. It is vision that can look beyond a world of crime and sin and see a "New Heaven," and a "New Earth," where dwelleth righteousness and peace. It is vision that looks beyond the narrowness and prejudice of rues to a time when all men shall be recognized as the children of a common Father, and therefore brothers. The World's greatest need today is men of vision. One person may have a vision of fame for himself and hends every effort in that direction. Another may have a vision of fortune, and give him self entirely to the securing of wealth. Another may have a vision of education and sets himself to master all the secrets of earth. These and others that might be mentioned are commendable. And yet one may have any one or all of these and still be very far from the ideal life. Paul's was "A heavenly Vision". It has to do with conduct. Is has to do with Character. It has to do with what ought, and what ought not to be done. He does with your desires, with your neighbor, with your attitudes towards people who do not belong to your race; and who not belong to your social circle; who may not belong to your denomination or to your church. It is a vision of righteousness and justice. Elect Pierson M. Hall BENEFIT CONCERT $5.00 PROGRAM FOR 50 CENTS THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 18th Beth Eden Baptist Temple, 27th and Palma Streets P. O.

Herring It is important to have the "Vision" but that is not enough. Some people have the vision, but the whole thing stops there. They see the thing as it ought to be, but does not put forth any effort to bring it to pass. There must be performance, otherwise it is useless to have had the vision. Many people SEE and SAY how things ought to be but comparatively few who are willing to make the sacrifice necessary to bring about the desired condition. This is regrettably true in all walks of life. 4. Opposition One of the things which is difficult to understand is the fact that what ever effort is being made to carry out one's vision there will be opposition. There will be difficulty. At such times one needs the stamina of the good Apostle who exclaimed even in chalms "I was not obbedient to the heavenly vision". The slogan of his life which caused him to say: "I am ready!" He was ready, not only for the easy and the pleasant duties of life, but he was ready for the unpleasant times of life, when they appeared in the road of duty. May we have the vision and the courage of performance. Statement of THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC.

The famous Monthly Music Program, Mrs. Jessie Winsley Als- ELIZA Friday, April 12, 1929 We often hear of the nice things folks say about their friends when they are no longer in hearing distance and their soul has passed on to a high mental attitude amid the celestial group and think how wonderful it would be if they had scattered those words while they yet lived that their fragrant essences may have mobilled about them and helped sooth the pain they were in. We wish to give a line here in this connection to our fellow townman, J. W. Coleman, versatile citizen, as one worthy of honorable mention in the hall of local Negro fame. He yet lives and passes among us though in pain brought about by illness that all but robbed this community of one who has done more for the masses than any living Negro in Los Aneles today. We wish to meet him face to face, shake his hand and present him with the words of praise that most of us prefer to withhold and place upon one's bier. I say Jude Coleman yet lives. Go out of your way now and then, friends, take your children to see him or any other person you might think your presence would cheer. Let them look upon the man who had the first Negro employment agency which for years upon thousands of our group jobs and positions'. A man that organized the first Negro motion picture corporation in the county, a man who gave to Elsineh its first up-to-date Negro hotel, a man one from amongst us who has and is doing good for the cause of humanity. I repeat, friends, look him up now and then and divide the bouquet that he may enjoy a portion of its fragrant odor while he lives, for some day he'll, be missing from amongst us and in reflecting you can say you too accomplished some good motoring down life's highway. Doctor Thompson who drives a Packard when he's not extracting or repairing teeth says that statistics prove that a locomotive is not afraid of an automobile. Geo. Christian furniture dispenser had trouble with the engine in his delivery truck and forced the force of a bran new motor. Most people would have fired the whole truck simply because the motor had an insecure headache, but Friend Christian used horse sense, which is a rare sense, since the auto has supplanted the horse, and as a result he is, dollars in. Heard a bad carrier and yard man discussing the subject "Consumption of soup," Seems as if each accused the other of not knowing how to eat it though somehow each got a quart of it into his stomach daffy, somehow. About the time it looked like the inevitable was to happen Mr. Percy Bick, headwaiter of the Hotel Knoweverything came along in his horseless; says he, you're both wrong. In transporting soup from the plate to your mouth you shove your spoon in the liquid away from you instead of toward you in filling it. That may be right ejaculated Sam. Williams, champion soup eater, but I never saw anyone who done as you claim, and I seen a lot of soup eaten and soup eaters in my time. Be that as it may P.D is correct from a point of table etiquette said Brother McAllister of Hershy Arms. Mrs. Ashly, of Eagle (unconsciously to a musician customer calling for some bills): "Sir, have you a rubber band." Customer: "Er, no man, but I have a brass band at my studio." Comment—His funeral was held last Tuesday. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Christian ambassador for one of the city's leading religious institutions deserted a wife, two children, his congreseation, and friends immediately after Easter and flew to Catalina over the F. T. and B. Route (Foot, Tram and Boat) where he went as a delegate to attend the recreation Convention which holds forth there each year. As an athlete he's a wonderful minister. However, he understand unofficially that in the broad jump, hurdle race, lvl. 2 and 3 milk cartons, disk drawing, handball, tennis and the singing and sleeping contests he led all competitors. Some one, Mr. Tell Thettruth inquired what was his official record. O well, new Brother Tell Thettruth, since you insist on knowing that angle we refer you to interrogate Dr. Lightner at his hom. Vernon and Hooper Aver, but don't dare tell him we furnished you with his residential address. That's that. Congressman-elect, Oscar DePriest has been asked by the War and Navy Dept. to submit the names of young men who might qualify for admittance into these two institutions. We wonder if the request implies West Point and Annapolis. It does not seem to square itself with President Hower's southern policy of attempting to dye the Negro white if he is to remain a Republican or finding this impossible leaving him at the post. Well, as any rate DePriest got will pay and granted the request, he will inform us just what success complying with the request will bring. We presume the list will be an American list instead of a segregated list. Sam King told Johnnie Wilson to keep up his spirits. But, says Johnnie, how can you keep 'em up when you haven't got any down. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA Rev. A. H. McClendon and Mr. A. Jordan of Oakland, Calif. were visitors here last week.

Mr. Graves is survived by wife and three children. Rev. Charles H. Hampton preached at the 1st M. E. Church last Sunday evening to a congregation of Philippines. Rev. M. Campbell has been called to the pastorate of the 1st Baptist Church Imperial, Calif. The Eastertide was daily observed in this city. The entire community joined in a sunrise service on the campus of the East Side, School, Sunday morning. Vocal selections were sung by Mesdames R. J. Burleigh and Margaret P. Hubert. Mise Clothilde Cery played a violin selection. The members of the Ministerial Alliance took an active part in the program: Rev. C. H. Hampton read the script lesson. Rev. R. B. Edmunds offered prayer and Rev. H. Hayter of the First A. M. E. Church brought the Easter message using as his subject "The Abundant Life." Rev. J. Q. Maples offered the bepédiction. A feature of the service was the community singing. The children of the Second Baptist Church entertained their parents and friends with the pretty service, "The Morn of Resurrection." Their rendition of the service showed the results Mr. Engene Page who is credited with putting Sacramento on the map in Los Angeles, musically speaking, made a flying visit to his former home town the other week on business but also managed to see his parents and to socialize and renew acquaintances after an absence of three years. However, while he still thinks Sacramento a great town he was glad to get back to his new home and resume his musical practice. His cone received a good rest during his absence and looks much improved in health. Young Mr. Walter L. Gordon, Jr. who just a few summers ago escorted the title master around with him, is busily engaged in a wrestling contest with the University of Southern California. The bone of contention is an education. Young Walter, whom we are all proud of, has secured a half Nelson and two hold and jeook like S.

We noticed a supposed to be well dressed lady parading down the main thoroughfare of white Broadway the other day when it was pouring down rain. She had on short top rubber boots, (considered in style), a dress some years ago, which was hidden by a rain coat some three inches shorter than the top of her boots and the water of the coat drained into the boots. Some style. Some fool. Poor simp she was attending her own funeral with the cemetery just around the corner. Sir? Colored?—No sir! In this particular instance she wasn't.

Over a five year period just ended the Department in line with its program of meeting efficiently and economically the light and power needs of Los Angeles, has erected 19 power distributing stations in addition to a large number of small stations. When the City took over the Southern California Edison Company system in 1922 a plan of improving and properly equipping the lines was outlined. From 1924 onward the building of substantial structures has been continued. There are now 42 electrical distribution stations in the City. "We have followed in our program the idea of building for the future," said Mr. Van Norman. "In this connection we have adopted a type of structure which is at once EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened HEALTH PROGRAM AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH On the night of April 14th at 7:30 P.M. at the Second Baptist Church, program will be rendered under the combined auspices of the Southern Southern California Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Society, and the Womanhood's Armour organization, Dr. Leon Stevall, Dr. A.

I do not doubt that if a roll call should be given we would find that more of our members have come from the Forum than from any other organization. This, because The Forum represents the thinkers of Los Angeles, they are the scouts, surveyors and pioneers of the race. Pressing problems are carried to the Forum because the mediator. To have our will rejected, our wishes granted, is to rule. Have you ever heard or made the expression: "Ob! If I only had had the cation and the opportunities they have when I was younger?" "If he were white he would be——" Or have you not after hearing some artist of the race or watching the struggles of some boy or girl, wondered to what height he would rise if given the proper assistance. That spirit that would have others profit by our experience, goes further and higher than us—the will to shoulder others—that spirit of co-operation may be traced through the acres. It is the moving force behind civilization. Today we slave to give our children a better future than our present. We wish our race to progress. We would wish them comfortable homes with the mothers in them and not out struggling to make ends meet; playgrounds; well kept streets; an equal share in education and in interpreting a vision to others in every way; an equal share in government; short, we wish all to have the right to develop themselves to the fullest possible extent. We would will this, is it in our power or must we beg it of others? Money and power are synonymous. Pyramid analysis has shown that we as a group have the power within our hands of either raising or lowering our education and the opportunities they we realize it or not we are daily exercising that power one way or the other with the solution proposition that is followed solution economic and social problems in its final analysis is the race asking others to do for him that which he refuses to do for himself. As Harlem has advertised the Negro as jazz hound, the Pyramid will carry him down into the history of the world as the financial wizard of the age. A study of the Pyramid plan clearly shows that this is not a dream of future but their analysis represents the present, consumptive powers of the race of which there are in Los Angeles, 6500, and at the lowest possible scale of existence—the bottom of the economic ladder. It represents power that we place in the hands of others with each purchase—bread from the months of our own undernarrished offering. When we purchase our groceries from others we place approval upon the system behind it; from the farmer, the broker, the grainery, the transportation agency and the baker to the architect, builder and the bank that finances each and their steadfast refusal to employ our boy or girl in other than unskilled labor and we impoveries ourselves to that extent. Our clothing industry and the graphic palaces that it rears—the great press supported by it and that does not hesitate to insult us at will. How can we expect this discrimination and *sergregation to cease when we make it pay? We are only receiving that which we ordered. Through the ages men have secured the raw materials necessary to existence: fighting for them either with impliments of battle or as the hunter or farmer. But it has always been the woman that has turned out the finished product, that has made these things daptable. Made new homes in the WE CARRY A HIGH GRADE OF MEAT.

But the woman still rales. When her mate brings home the wages their rise depends upon her skill as purchasing agent or broker. She is the ultimate consumer, the one for which all things are produced and labelled for sale. Because of the inherited training in economic values women have been the most staunch supporters of the Pyramid. The Woman's Anxiiliary is an organization of the women of the group, not necessarily Pyramid members, whose purpose is to aid in every way possible the parent body. The Pyramid Co-operative Association. At present we hold neighborhood meetings wherever possible, where trained workers present an analysis of the Pyramid program. In time we shall have each district mapped with the names of the families in each block, number in each family. We shall surly them with Pyramid literature, etc., until every Negro home in the State is one big circle and when one is strack all shall feel it. We do emergency welfare work whenever possible but it is with this pressing question confronting us: "What will this family do tomorrow and the next day? We know then that we must hasten in our program for their blood is upon our heads. Speaking to our architects, contractors and all concerned: Are you prepared to present your bids? What will be the size of the building or buildings necessary to store food and to serve food to our 1,625 household engineers in Los Angeles alone? (selecting % of the 65,000 Negroes in Los Angeles or 4 members to a family). What of the 750 in Pasadena, Monrovia El Centro, Dnarte, etc.? Have you estimated the payroll of the workmen, bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, decorators and the employees that will be needed every day in the year to serve this host? Have you considered this with a definite percentage of this coming back into the treasury of the Pyramid for groceries? Because all who serve must know how they are served by other, but how? What do these others give them, in exchange—rentals, upkeep, employees—or even in advertisement? Do they live among as? Are they interested in our civic welfare? Have you measured the potential influence of these household financiers? They can open the banks and the banks are the key to all other enterprises. Then their boys and girls can be trained from the ground up in any industry they may choose. With their political power as organized voters do you think that any Governor would dare to remark after a lynching, "I have not the time to investigate 150 people"? This time paid with your money? He who would rule others must first rule himself, must concentrate upon the power that lies within his own hands. 1994 WIN J. SANBORN Councilman 9th Dist.

Temple, 803 E. 32nl St., Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.] SOCIAL DISEASES-CONT'D. The second stage or syphilis is ushered in "with a bang!" You remember the first stage with the chancre and enlarged glands came in very quietly, almost stealthily. That was because the germs or the spirocheta or Treponema wanted to get all of their army of other little Treponema well formed and developed before they made any real noise or much fuss. The germ of syphilis is ever a diplomat and a startagedian. This is why it is so very, very difficult to kill them all off once they enter the human body. After the chancre comes and the glands enlarge these symptoms gradually die down or abate. And Mr. "Same One", the man who you remember, contracted syphilis about 6-8 week ago, again thinks that he is "alright". He has gotten some medicine from the quack doctor and cured the chancre. So he does not worry any more. Then suddenly he awakens one morning to find his throat very sore and some small, fine pimples all over his body. He thinks, "well, I have a bad case of tonsilitis and I must go to the doctor at once." This time he does not seek out the quack doctor, who has advertised so loudly as a "Men's Specialist," he thinks anybody can cure "sore throat." so he finds a doctor in his neighborhood. Now it just chances that this doctor is a real physician—intelligent, alert, and hdnest. He looks at "Mr. Same One's" throat and sees the "tonsils large and inflamed; they may or may not have white patches on them. Then he look further in the mouth, and finds something else, which, to him, as an intelligent doctor, is very significant: that is the "mucous patch." This mucous patch is one of the most constant and characteristic lesions of secondary syphilis. It is found on the mucous or moist surfaces of the body inside of the mouth, or at the angles of the lip, in the anus, or mouth of the rectum, under the arm or other moist areas. In its earliest stage the mucous patch appears as a pearly white, round spot, upon the mucous membrane—generally of the mouth, or other areas named above; it may also in the female, come upon the breast or at the mouth of the vagina. Its development may occur at any place If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA where the slan is thin and delegate and kept moist by secretions. Soon the mucous patch loses its pearly appearance and looks dead white and moist as though some strong medicine which would whiten a spot on the tissues had ben used. After a time the infiltrated surface tissue of the patch slough off, leaving a shallow, sharply defined "punched out" looking ulcer. This is the form in which the mucous patch is most commonly seen. In just a short while the mucous patch changes again. The cells on the bottom or "floor" of the ulcer begin to grow and increase in number and a cailflower-like mass of "proud flesh" or granulations form and rise like little hillocks above the level of the surrounding healthy skin,—the "mucous patch" has now become what we call in medicine the "Condylolina." This mucous patch and the secretion from it are just teeming with spirachaeta! This makes these secretions very highly contagious. And any one kissing a person having this condition is almost certain to contract the disease—if they have a break up on their lips or in the mouth. Now, this "lesion" or break may be so very tiny that the naked eye cannot see it. But the tiny spirachaeta can easily find it. Then this second party Has Syphilis. When we talk next time we will discuss in detail the most common ways of contracting syphilis in the 1st and 2nd stages of the disease. LONG BEACH NEWS ONCE A POOR FARM BOY—NOW A SINGER BEFORE THE WORLD Not so very many years ago, Roland Hayes was doing the chores on the small Georgia farm of his mother, an ex-slave. He managed to put himself through school and college while helping to support his family. Encouraged by friends to develop his voice, he struggled for years to train it and to gain recognition, meanwhile taking every sort of job to make ends meet. He scraped together enough money to go abroad and give a recital in London. With this step his fame was definitely made. He became the talk of London, and then of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. Each capital marvelled at this young singer, so modest and quiet-mannered, yet so utterly master of his voice, of their own language and style in song. At that time only certain American cities had heard him. When he re-crossed the Atlantic, he soon held the attention of America at large to a degree never before won by an American-born musician. His own country welcomes his return after a year's absence. America has watched him as, drawn ever more closely towards the very breath and inspiration of the composer before him, he has perfected that rare instrument, his voice, beyond all precedent of the concert hall. He is not the artist who could "stand still." Over seven thousand people filled the Municipal Auditorium here last Friday evening to see and hear this great Negro Tenor. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. Selby, of Los Angeles. Mrs. Selby was quite enthused since she attended Fisk University at the same time Roland Hayes did. THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH (By Miss Lillian Veals) The last week was the Holiest of all weeks at the Second Baptist Church. "On Man," Rev' Washington, a young man who promises to be one of the greatest leaders in church work, delivered a very inspirational sermon on Monday. On Tuesday evening, Rev. Jenson (white) of the First Baptist Church delivered the message on "Quoting the Life of Peter." Wednesday, The well known Evangelist, Miss Bacon and a group of her followers came down. She chose as her subject "from the Dungeon to the Trones." Thurs. This was the happied night that has ever been witnessed by the Christians of Long Beach. The church was set fire when Miss Beacon delivered the message "The Parting of the Way." The people moved by the passion of God, prayed until twelve that evening. Everyone went home rejoicing. The Holy Weed was closed Friday evening with Rev. Thomas' offering, "Because Christ Suffered for Us." ) A lovely buffet dinner party was given Sunday evening in honor of Mrs. W. M. Moore of 1110 California Avenue. The honoree received many beautiful gifts as well as several envelopes of money. Those present were Mrs. Marie Clay, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Banks, Mrs. Dora Myles, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. V. L. Moore and Mrs. S. Moore. Little Miss Jessie Pentleton entertained several lassies and laddies to a Easter Egg hunt birthday party on Easter Sunday afternoon from three to six. With a rumbling and tumbling everyone enjoyed tearing up the place looking to see where in the world that Bunny could possibly have hidden those eggs. We hear that little Maxine Richardson was the lucky one in finding the most eggs. --You May Never Know It Happened Peirson M. Hall Making Strong Race For City Attorney With more than 400 Los Angeles attorneys indorsing his candidacy and many leaders in the business and civic life of the city and in veteran circles supporting him, Pearison M.

All the kiddies were indeed quite thrilled. Everyone is all smiles and I know why. Of course, it's because "Mother." mrs. Levi Howard, is back again after having been away for a month on a short, hurried trip to Chicago, Illinois, where she attended the funeral of her late deceased brother. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Williams moved to South Los Angeles last Tuesday to a lovely little five-room bungalow on 11th Place. Mrs. J. B. Williams, Miss Juanita Martin before marriage, is well known in the social circles as one of the best dressed women of Long Beach.

MATTIE JACKSON 1115-1117 East 10th St. Los Angeles, Calif. A Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION FINDING FACTS "Where did you get your facts?" was a popular theme during war time and now that the group is bound on a mission of fact finding at a national meeting scheduled in North Carolina, the 17th, 18th inst. we feel after all we might be getting somewhere. IF NOT, WHY NOT? We again call attention to our County Officials, in particular to the long deferred promotion of J. A. Pope, whose deeds of valor on more than one occasion have meant so much to this county. We are satisfied that any man who at the risk of his own life performs a worth while service for his county, city or state is entitled to a promotion and just why the promotion due this particular man is so long withheld is causing much speculation among the people at large. Therefore we are asking the question, why Deputy Sheriff Pope has not received any official recognition? Further; if not, why not? LIKE PHAROAH OF OLD Here we are; Governor Young's term of office is coming to a close. His partisans are fixing up his fences all over the state with a view of repeating; but like Pharoah of old he has failed to hearken to the call for recognition of all his people and if he finds himself in the same predicament as Governor Stevens and Richardson, he has no one to blame except himself. SELECT ONE GOOD AND TRUE Look them over good and do a good job of looking is the situation of fourteen mayoralty candidates who are up for preference at the primaries on May 7th. This is as it should be, a sufficient number have presented themselves and it is up to the people to make their choice. Therefore we would say to study both the men and measures, which come to the front in this campaign and then thinking for yourselves make up your mind in favor of the one whom you think will serve you best and we are sure one good and true will be chosen to serve you as the chief executive of our great city for the ensuing four years. HIGH POWERED OPPOSITION ON THE RUN The reaction the high powered "Bills" that would destroy the Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., have not even tilted the good old ship of state and she moves on her way to make harbor for the most amazing progress within the memory of man. As a matter of fact J. Finley Wilson has demonstrated such constructive ability that he has a hold upon the progressive forces which have said on numerous occasions, to the forces which would dethrone him. Thus far and no further—and in this situation Elkdom's growth has startled the world. He has made an institution very worthy indeed. In order to do so it entailed the expenditure of money. The same would have not been available except for his prowess. The sooner our organizations recognize the same as individuals that they cannot expect something for nothing, the sooner they will come into their own. With our ears to the grass roots we are satisfied the members have no objection to the proposition of paying for what they get. Perhaps Finley Wilson has erred in some minor propositions but on the one for progress he has been the wizard of ages and will withstand all the assaults of the high powered opposition we are sure. EVOLUTION OF ADVERTISING Things are reversing themselves in the field of advertising. It was only a few years ago that advertisements in magazines and newspapers were not widely read by the subscribers. Today there are thousands of subscribers and newstand buyers who read only the advertisements. There is one popular national magazine which owes a very large portion of its large circulation to the appeal of its advertising pages. The advertisements of all magazines are carefully read. In the newspaper field a large circulation is built up first by able news service, then circulation attracts advertisers and the advertisements attract additional subscribers. In all of the larger cities there are newspapers which have successfully used the "want ad" as an auxiliary circulation builder, selling thousands of papers to job hunters, employers, owners and finders of lost property, house owners and house hunters, and buyers and sellers of second hand articles. Once the advertiser had to force his advertising upon the public. Today the public voluntarily pays for the privilege of reading the advertising of the same companies. Why the change? Advertising has become as interesting to the public as the front page news of the newspaper and the stories and articles in the magazines. The needs of humanity are many and man has learned to look to the advertisements for the "news" concerning the things he needs and desires. Advertising is also indebted for its present universal appeal to the advances made in the art of advertising writing. The modern newspaper advertisement is something more than a typographical hodgepodge. Its aesthetic appeal is often as strong as its sales appeal. DISCONTENT Discontent was long considered a sort of sin, not the unpardonable sin, but one of the numberless other lesser sins. In some quarters the dissatisfied-with-themselves are still preached at and pleaded with to follow the trail of complacency and contentedness. Through the ages and for generation after generation the masses were kept in subjugation and want by this creed which considered ambition an evil and aspirations as temptations placed before the common people by the devil. Twentieth century commercialism and standards of living have broken down this creed in the United States and elsewhere to that degree where those without ambitions and the will to fulfill them are scornfully denounced by the more provident. George Jean Nathan writes in a current magazine: "Happiness is ruinous to accomplishment. Few men can do first-rate work when they are bathed in a mood of expansive cheer. A touch of unhappiness, of concern, of discontent, is essential to vigorous enterprise and achievement. When everything is going with beautiful smoothness in a man's daily life, his work im- medaitely shows the effects of it. He slacks up a trifle; he takes a bit too much for granted; he slides back, however imperceptibly. It is when things are not exactly hotsy-totsy with him that he produces the best that there is in him." The men and women who are discontented with themselves, their business, their environment, their station in life, are the men and women who are accomplishing the things worth white. They are making the world go round, not the contented laborer and the satisfied clerk. Every invention is the product of discontent. Discontent is the foundation for every new home. Discontent trades the automobile for a new and larger model. hibition and gave it their support rebel at the exhibition and gave it their support rebel at the of the Jones law.

Other say that the bootleggers have money sufficient United States army much less prohibiti it is impossible to plug up the bung hole. There is a big revolt in India, and it is TODAY IS HERE—USE IT! A man must make good or make room—go forward or drop back. No man can stand still in any position. To mark time in modern life is impossible. This statement applies to class, creed, sex or circumstances—rich, poor, comfortable or cramped. In an interview with one of America's most successful men, the statement was made that not one man in 50 renders intelligent service. Look around you. Check them up and see if this is true. If it is true that clerks watch the clock, secretaries fail to remember, department heads lack initiative, superintendents roll in a rut—if this be true, is it not time to think that this condition creates for you a field that is undeveloped? The next successful man interviewed doubled the number of people who are incapable or indifferent. He claimed there are 99 who lack intelligent enthusiasm, and a sincere desire to serve, to every one that is eager and ambitious, conscientious and courageous. You may not be ready to accept a position of responsibility today, but today is the day to begin to get ready. And the one thing that you must do in order to fill a position of responsibility is to find what faults are holding you back, and then correct these faults. Gloss over your faults, excuse your shortcomings, and you are not yet ready for greater responsibility. You will belong to the 49 or the 99. Some fellows work their way through school; others work their parents. Little girls are punished for making faces. But not when they grow up! COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON Well! We guess that President Hoover has cleared the political atmosphere, and made it sufficiently plain to the "Black and Tan" element that controlled the patronage in the southern states, that he intends a reorganization of the G. O. P. there, and that their services are no longer, not only required, but emphatically, not wanted. He says that former presidents tried, unsuccessfully, to accomplish that which he has done. What he says is true. In order to have successful government such as ours there should be two well balanced parties. Non sectional! It will be the best for all concerned. Parties, today, are not so much concerned in humanitarian affairs, and except as they are forced by economic conditions to recognize them, pay little heed. The talk about the G. O. P. being the party of Lincoln, Grant, and the men who gave it birth is all bunk. It misleads none but those who are intolerant to reason. As said: Parties today are drawn on questions economic, and lately moral issues have played a prominent part. Names of great party leaders are no longer used to conjure with. Facts: cold facts, must be given to Mr. and Mrs. Voter. Eloquent pleadings, except as entertainment, go for naught. There was a measure presented to the legislature in California prohibiting a candidate for political office from seeking the endorsement of more than one party. It was defeated overwhelmingly. To say that you are a Republican or Democrat means little. President Hoover has in his cabinet as one of his most trusted advisers a Democrat, and he heads one of the most important of the divisions in the government Department of Justice. It will be well for the Race Voter to pay more attention to the politics which affect him most, and that is in the local affairs—city, county and state. Start at the bottom, climb for the top. It has been many decades since there was a race leader of sufficient calibre to command national attention. Oh yes! There have been many who believed that they were of national calibre, but they only rattled around. When they put their feet in the shoes of Revels, Rainey, Douglass and Langston, they only made a noise like a dried pea in the pod. The Attorney General of California, U. S. Webb, has given a decision against the inclusion of the Jones Law in the statutes of the State. The Attorney General ruled that the section of the Wright Act which makes all federal amendments to the Volstead Act automatically effective in the state law, was unconstitutional. The crux, or gist, of the opinion was that congress could no more legislate for the state legislature than the state legislature could legislate for the national congress. It sort of stumped the Anti's and a hurry up call was sent out for the leaders in the cause of prohibition. Dr. Briggs, Secretary of the California Anti-Saloon League and others hastily responded. It is claimed that an attempt to write the five-year imprisonment and $10,000 fine in the statutes of the state will be made. Should such be the case there will be a lively time in the house. When the extra $3,000,000 voted by Congress becomes available, July 1st, the Bootleggers, Rackateers, and dispensers of the illegal beverage can prepare for one of the most drastic crusades in the history of the era of Prohibition. This is going to be a fight to the finish. Either the people will force the issue or public opinion will revolt and cause a modification of the law governing the sale of alcoholic drinks. It is the wise thing to do. Make the entird nation obey and respect the law or modify or repeal it. Many who have heretofore favored pro- hibition and gave it their support rebel at the drastic provisions of the Jones law. Some claim that it will be the cause of more serious crimes than have been before committed. Others believe that the big drive will be made to shut out the source of supply by a stricter watch on the border and ports where smuggling activities have been prevalent. Others, more pessimistic, say that the bootleggers have money sufficient to bribe the entire United States army much less prohibition agents and that it is impossible to plug up the bung hole. There is a big revolt in India, and it is the forerunner of an enlightenment that might have a great influence on its political future. As is usual in such cases, it is the women who, in throwing off the burdens which have hampered them, revolted against the environments which have enslaved them for ages, will cause the nation to awake, and make the "menace" of the East a reality. In an address to the women of India her Highness Maharani Setu Parvatibai, declared "that the woman is the pivot of the family and her rights are fundamental and extensive." A strong declaration to make when the conditions under which they labor are considered. The address was made before a convention of the All-India Women's Social Conference. The Conference adopted resolutions declaring against prohibiting the marriage of widows, rescue of minor girls, reforms in the education of children and adults, revision of the laws governing inheritance, factory employment, and a single standard governing the morals right of men and women. The men of India have for some years been seeking a way to throw off the yoke of foreign government. Every attempt has proved a failure. They denied the association of the women. Now the women have cut the "Gordian Knot" which hampered them. They have written their own declaration of independence. It remains for the men of India to awake to a realization of the potent factor of woman's aggressiveness and avail themselves of her assistance. The Los Angeles Forum did a very gracious act in writing the California Legislature in appreciation of the endorsement of the Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Assemblyman from the 74th District, that city. The Forum conjures up in the mind many things. One can vision names which have placed their stamp on the civic progress of the city. To mention the Los Angeles Forum is to bring to memory names which, in the long ago, fought for conditions which, had they been adhered to, would have made it one of the most democratic and cosmopolitan cities in the forty-eight states. A veritable paradise for all, regardless of race, creed or color. When you speak of the Forum there arises a vision of the serious countenance of J. L. Edmunds, his shock of white hair standing up like the marie of an angry lion as he hurled philipics against injustice or discriminatory legislation; Charley Flint, the eloquent; suave, Tom Norris, presiding and diplomatically smoothing the rough spots. Then there was Jim Slaughter, Theodore Troy, Charlie Clarkson, the astute A. J. Roberts and a host of loyal women who backed every progressive move. Yes: The Los Angeles Forum has a historical background little understood by the citizens of recent years. The Northern Branch of the California Federation of Women's clubs held a session in the city of Sacramento. It was an interesting session programmed for a symphony of discussions of vital interest to their local communities and the state at large. Child welfare; better homes; hygiene and improved sanitation; elementary education; in fact, all of the matters which effect present and future conditions were ably presented by the delegates who had come prepared to lay them before the convention for their determination. Madame Hester Lee-Jones, the efficient and diplomatic presiding officer, guided the proceedings with such a deft hand that there were but few parliamentary tangibles and the business of the session was transacted with a minimum of friction. Those meetings mean much to the growing population of California. Plans are mapped out for the guidance of the incomer which minimizes the difficulties to be overcome by new environments. The State President, Mrs. Jones, is a constructionist. She has developed the working power of the women of the state and concentrated the efforts—which had before been scattered and overlapped—until the results are seen clearly, and their benefits are obvious. Monday, April 8th and the stage is all set for the impeachment trial of Judge Hardy. For more than a week workmen have been busy altering the interior of the senate chamber for the impeachment court. The witnesses, of which there are a goodly number, will be quartered in one of the rooms on the fourth floor of the Capitol and be called from there to answer the questions of the Attorneys for and against. Many of the members of the legislature hope that the case will not be prolonged. Unless the senate can be persuaded to hold business sessions at night and consider the legislation enacted by the Assembly it will keep the solons away from their business for a month or more, and that is something many do not relish. In Los Angeles, California, they are having one of the most spirited political campaigns in the history of that city. A score of candidates are seeking the nomination for the mayoralty of the city. The "pickins" seem to be good and the boys are making hay before the rain comes. "This is one of the maddest scrambles for the office I've ever seen," said one of the seasoned campaigners. "And it's hard to tell what it's all about." It is hard to find a city that has grown with the rapidity of Los Angeles, and there are many questions which are vital to its future progress. It is natural that where there are so many aspirants that there must be a diversity of ideas which concern the best methods to be used in the betterment of the conditions which cluster about the policies of a fast growing municipality. Then, too, there are matters which concern the people, such as segregated zoning and educational facilities. Housing of the people and the constitutional right of ownership. All of these things will play a potent part in selecting the proper candidates. This opportunity of selecting the proper man or men to govern the city with an impartial mind, comes seldom and should be grasped with avidity. Selfish interests should be laid aside and all personal difference subordinated to the one great effort of centering on the most promising of the men. The man or men, who previously have shown an inclination to fairness, who have known none by race, creed or color, should be the ones to concentrate the effort for election. In the general election, November last, Wisconsin gave to Herbert Hoover, dry candidate for the Presidency, a four to one vote over Alfred Smith, anti-dry and Catholic. A few months after the same state votes five to one to repeal the state prohibition law. That brings to the front the question whether after all the question of national prohibition was the main factor in the determination of the presidential outcome. Of course, there were some who were frank enough to say that religious Friday, April 12, 1929 GETTING HOLD OF THE FARMS. It is reported that Negroes own nearly one-third of the farms in North Carolina and such ownership of farms in North Carolina is increasing faster than in any other Southern State. Of the 283,482 farms in the State $5,800 are owned by Negroes with a farm population of 455,880. GUGGENHEIM FUND GRANTS AWARDS Grants totaling $130,000 to eighty-eight scholars, painters, sculptors, music composers, authors, and authorists in the arts of the theatre to assist them in research and creative work. For the last week of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Of the eighty-eight scholars and artists who have just received grants (two are colored men. One is an author, the other an abroad, who wrote "The Big Dutch and "Tropic Death." The other is Archibald J. Mollery of Chicago, an artist. EQUALIZES TEACHERS' SALARIES West Virginia through its legislature has authorized the equalization of the pay schedule of colored and white teachers in the public schools of the State. It has also provided a law that requires all Negro students who must pursue graduate and professional courses outside of the State because of being barred on account of race from the State University. PICKENS TO GO ABROAD William Pickens of New York will attend the conference of the League Against Imperialism in Paris, France in July and speak on the "struggle of the Negro Race for Emancipation." ELKS FIGHT FOR GRAND EXALTED RULER The campaign to elect Casper Holstein of New York, Grand Exalte Ruler of the Elks, in place of J. Finley has been unhulled, Detective Brusseg of Chicago as a paid campaign manager recites some facts to show sarkage in grand lodge funds due to high and unnecessary salaries. The fun has just begun. MAY SERVE TO PREVENT FIGHTS It is feared by many that the unfortunate outbreak and fights among spectators at the Fields-Thompson fight in the Coliseum at Chicago, Monday night may be used to block a further mixed fights—between white and colored pufflists. THE TWO FIRSTS The Jones "five and ten" law, is one of the shortest, and simplest, major burses ever to be passed by Congress, having but ten lines or 151 words. James Turner, a young colored man, was recorded as the "first" person to be arrested, in the District of Columbia for violation of the law and now was another "first" person. Beatrice Jeunings was gracefully seated on a bicycle and quietly pedaling down Pennsylvania avenue with a jar of hooch when she was arrested. Bishop Clements, Presiding Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, has been appointed Chairman of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. NO MORE WHITE HOUSE STABLES The White House stables have gone the way of the proposed Summer White House at Mount Weather, and the pitch Mayflower—into the discard. The White House stables have blamed after employment and the growing use of the automobile, however, the stables have become less and less important in the White House scheme of things and these employees will have to be taken care of elsewhere. PATRONAGE INQUIRY REVEALS DEMOCRAT SENATOR The name of Senator Blease, Democrat of South Carolina, was linked with that of Joseph P. McCarthy, the national committee member of that State, in testimony before the Brookhart sub-committee investigating the southern patronage situation. It is stated that the Senator put $500 into the Republican hopper for mutual favors. * **BELIEVE IT OR NOT** A remarkable story of a native woman appagently raised—among apes from childhood is told in the monthly report of the age group in the House, which has plantations in the Kamerun, says a dispatch from Berlin. An elephant hunter saw a group of apes in some trees and shot one, the report runs. He found to his astonishment that the woman must have completely mugged, and without the customary tattoo marks. The mystery was investigated by authorities who concluded that the woman must have been brought up from a criminal age and lived with the group as one of the WORK AS EDUCATOR—NOT A CHEMIST Selected as the American Negro who during 1928 contributed most in (Continued on Page Nine) ITEMS OF INTEREST HERE AND THERE (Continued from Page Eight) the way of creative work to the field of education, Mr. Monroe N. Work, Director of the Department of Records and Research, has been granted $400 and a gold medal in the third year of the series of the Hamon Foundation's Awards for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes. The award was made in recognition of Mr. Work's "scholarly research and educational publicity through his periodic compilation and publication of the Negro Year Book and his recent exhaustive "Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America, and not for discoveries in the chemical assay as stated by the Associated Press last week. MASONIC TEMPLE FOR SALE Foreclosure and sale at public auction of the unfinished Masonic Temple at Tenth and U streets, Northwest, Washington, D. C. on which work was begun seven years ago, are being sought by the G. G. Lochler Construction Company, Inc. It is claimed that it will take about $400,000 to save this building to the Masonic order. DEPRIEST HAS COMPANY Doubts that have been expressed concerning the seating of Oscar DePriest at the special session of Congress pending the disposition of his insured are gradually being dispelled, one to the member of Congress coming from the same state and city is under indictment for a felony. In October 1928 a Federal Grand Juray at Jacksonville, indicted M. Alfred Michaelson, Republican congressman from the Seventh District of Illinois, on three counts, charging violations of the National prohibition laws. The indictments said liquor was brought into this country from Cuba on January 3, 1928 and charged possession, importation and transportation. Despite the fact that there has been determined efforts made to keep the matter under cover a little while longer, like the liquor in the coat, it "leaked" out, and now Chairman Snell of the House Rules Committee is reported as saying: "I doubt if he did anything that would interfere with his taking the oath." Others around the Capitol overlook the attempt at secrecy and express doubt now that the incident would be sufficient cause to warrant withholding the oath from the Chicago Congressman. Tans the fears of a challenge on the score of indictment are lessened. According to an announcement made by the Community Chest three colored members were elected to the Board of Trustees of the Chest to represent th contributors. They are Dr. Dorothy Boulding, Colonel West A. Hamilton, and Prof. Kelly Miller who served as chairman of the Co-ordinating Committee through which the colored citizens of Washington contributed more than $23,000 to the Chest Fund in the recent drive. A commission of thirteen financial experts headed by former Vire-Friendess Charles G. Dawes has called for State Tommy to revise the budget of the Republic. The commission expects to arrive from month to six weeks in the copable arranging a budget law, budgeting for executive departments and other phases of its task. PERSHING'S MESSENGER DIES AT WORK John A. Welch, 55 years old, for ten years messenger for General John J. Pershing, Chairman of the American Battle Monument Commission, suffering heart afection, died suddenly Friday afternear in the corridor of the State, War and Navy Building. It is almost impossible to add further comment upon the splendid recital given by the noted tenor, Roland Hayes, on last Monday evening, April 15. Perhaps the event should be left entirely alone as one writer did in last week's issue of the California Eagle. This writer, like myself, evidently found it utterly impossible to discuss the program this great singer brought to us. He evaded the whole situation by heading his article "Echoes From Roland Hayes' Concert" and proceeded to mention the capacity house, name several Negro guests of note and others of no note whatsoever who were in attendance. Bruno David Usher, music critic for the Evening Express, wrote one of the most lengthy reviews of the singer's program and there is a doubt in my mind as to whether he has ever given any artist more space or as much as he gave Hayes in the Evening Express of April 2nd. Heading his article "From Georgia of Russian Lore to Georgia of the Spirituals, Roland Hayes Wanders a Vocal Spellbinder and an Old Soul, Returning a Greater Singer and a Greater Interpreter." Mr. Ussher states in part, "Hayes is 'our' own and yet not loved more for that reason. A Negro, he had to be twice the artist than his white competent. And, if the lists of American concert tenors are scanned, where is there a composer of Hayes? For that matter not one of America's operatic tenors—more dramatic perchance of mere vocal volume—can create the soil drama through which Hayes lives and sings, and through which his hearers live with him". . . . Yesterday he took his place between the other two tenors of world prestige, McCormick and Schipa. He had an audience of their proportions, and if applause was not so loud it was no less meaningful. Instead of a loudness last night's oatings carried and gratitude . . . It means a great deal to the Negroes of America to have this black man singing. Hayes phenomenal success should be more than passing interest and an incentive to the younger group of Afro-Americans. tion and three-fourths of the colored population of the southwest section play the "numbers" daily. Police are, finding it difficult to break up this letter game in which the players place bets varying in size and hardness and larn on certain of the figures in the New York Clearing House daily balance. More than 77,000 is collected daily by the state. Pay 600 for one odds to the winners. Business men, particularly in the movie and amusement fields, are complaining bitterly that all of the spare cash money formerly spent for recreation is now being dropped into the coffers of the "number kings." Sixty-three employees in the office of the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, including Arthur G. Free, the recorder, must take longues ranging from 10 days to 50 days before July 1st. The recorder's appropriation of $36,000 was not sufficient to cover increases granted Federal Employees last July under the Welch Act. An additional appropriation supposed to meet the need still left the office with an appropriation for salaries which is $8,000 short—Hence the forced leave without pay for the employees. It was announced here Wednesday that Martin B.

There comes a time in most of our lives when life seems a dreary adventure—a hopeless conglomeration of misery, injustice, and suffering. Most of us soon rally o'r these dark moods, while others endure their toxic presence, too long. To the latter, life is one numdrum experience after another with, now and then, occasional gleams of hapiness that dicker for a short while only to lose themselves in an ever present abysmal depth of despair. There are many causes for these depressing moments: The physical systems may be overcome with fatigue. The mind may be weighted down with the cares of existence. Then, too, there is another reason which neither savors of a rundown body nor of an overwrought body, namely: Some of us take life too seriously: we expect too much of our fellowmen. Our over-sensuousness to reform unfavorable conditions often create an impatience that reacts as moments of gloom and morbidity. Our impatient enthusiasm too often distorts our perspective. We forget that mountains loom larger when near by than when they are farther away. So we tremble. The nervous over-whelming because of our nearness to them. This nearness tends to bind us to the ultimate trumps of equilibrium and prosperity in the future. Some of us are tempted to become discouraged with the present status of machiness and society; for man to man is so unjust. Sorrow and injustice seem to multiply in every hand. We see business adventurers stalking and indulging. We see motherly heartless oppressing children. Millennials have misplaced folks do not need. False pride and creatist pride clash with merit.

Such men as Helfin, Alabama, and that ilk who were outspoken in their fight. But the vote in Wisconsin whose repudiation of a wet leader and the subsequent vote to repeal the dry law of the state is an anomaly. Senator Caraway's comment of the situation was, "The vote in Wisconsin shows that they did not vote for Hoover last fall; they were voting against the Pope." Senator Borah tries to find consolation in the Wisconsin vote by declaring that "While prohibition might not have influenced the presidential vote in November, there were certainly some places in which it had an effect." Senator Borah, who had led the dry campaign for Hoover, had looked upon the election as a national referendum on prohibition. The wets consider the Wisconsin vote a challenge to the prohibition element of the nation. Michigan has repealed its "life for a pint" law. Four persons who had been given life sentences because of the fourth conviction for possession of illicit whiskey were pardoned. It is such laws as the Jones law which creates a drastic penalty for the possession of liquors that will arouse the public to punishment and force some kind of a modification or change in the law which will be more in consequence with personal liberty.

Bursting like a bombshell, comes news of the greatest automobile sacrifice in the history of the industry, with the announcement by the Kelley Kar Co. 1225 South Figuema Street, that they will offer the automobile buying public of Los Angeles brand handlers, very latest creations of the factory, to trainload after trainload of these beautiful high grade cars in both the light 6 and the big 6 models and Royal Light and big 8 models have just arrived, and are being displayed to enthusiastic throngs, eager to take advantage of almost unheard of prices smashing, almost unbelievably low prices on new cars. In commenting on the sensational values being offered, the one question heard on every hand is, "How is it possible for the organization to sell these beautiful cars at such tremendous discounts?" That question is answered by Mr. Kelly: "By buying in huge quantities, hundreds of cars at a time, paying cash on the line, and taking advantage of enormous purity, the cars are placed in the hands of the public, direct from the factory, eliminating overhead. While this is a radical departure from the old method of purchasing automobiles, it is far more satisfactory to the purchaser, resulting in rock bottom prices, which save the first year's desCRIPTION." the first year's depreciation. Another new item in automobile ownership is the automobile compass. In the Kelly establishment's purchaser may inspect 20 various models, ranging in price from $375 to $1455, and use his own good judgment in selecting a car to meet his requirements and at his pocketbook. The customer can compare the beautiful Chandler car, side by side, every one offered at an enormous discount and then make his wants known to a salesman. The salesman is merely an order taker. It is said that the Kelley Kar Co.'s sales expense is the lowest in the city, and tails saving is passed on to the customer. While the Kelly Kar Co. is now offering a full, unlimited line of these beautiful cars at the present time, Kelley officials suggest that the public, in order to enjoy unlimited selection, inspect the cars at their earlier convenience. The beginning of divorce proceedings by Mrs. Marie Rout, beautiful, well-known, popular society matron, artist, and writer, against her husband, Dr. John Wilford Rout, our genial and progressive young dentist, has created no surprise or horror among intimates and friends of the young couple.

Politics, as distinguished from blind partisanism and rabid non-partisanship, must of necessity occupy some portion of our time and demand some share of the sympathies of those who constitute our citizenry. We are called upon to manifest this interest because we see in the construction of society other principles at work, and other capabilities of fulfilling the desires and perfecting the nature of man, besides those of securing the equal enjoyment of the means of animal life. We are confident that the wants and happiness of man are not to be provided for as we provide for those of a herd of cattle, merely by attending to their physical necessities. It is known that man has his affections and passions, and powers of imagination as well as hunger and thirst, and the sense of heat and cold. This idea of political society is derived from the pattern of private life, which permits the incorporation of domestic activities and our associated chivalries with the bi-camel functions of the state. And there exists ever the possibility of blending them together. Time and sympathy are necessary to establish the analogy between the compact that binds the community at large, of which we must realise that we are a part, you and I and our families help compose it. Los Angeles is writhing in the throes of a mighty reaction. Corruption threatens our moral stability. It resists rapaculture. Its rancor and odium disgusts its insinates fandering of the results of our painfully reared institutions is ruminous. Its very proximity is nauseating. It exerts wanton extravagance as virtue. Corruption is the octopus from whose writhing embrace there seems to be no escape. Corruption is creeping steadily into the crevices and inherents of our municipal institutions; strong, stalwart characters are succumbing to methods of dehachery and rapaciousness—(but the spirit of conservation and the spirit of reform are the necessary complements of each other) and before the necessary pinnage of corrections can be applied, a consequent adjustment must be reached concerning 'conservative' means. "Conservation means that preference for and deference to that which is already established, that faith in what has been tried and that distrust of what exists only in speculation and by 'reform' is meant changes for betterment of all members of the social and political group. Corruption and conservation are two principles permanently at work in all forms of recognized governments. Not even the statesman ever pretends to separate them. It is easier to change our administration than reform the people. Both are necessary. Our first undertaking in the coming election will be to bring about certain administrative changes and subsequently the full and needful measure of reform—but in order to do this the 'time' and sympathy of the citizens is demanded. Such changes can only be effected by electing to the Mayorality of Los Angeles a man whose conduct is above reproach, whose house and integrity remain inviolate, whose governmental vision includes the weak and defenseless entities of humanity—whose political schemes declare for an equal opportunity and a common obligation for all citizens alike.
