1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 GIRL ATTEMPTS SUICIDE VOLUME 42 GIRL The Colored population of San Pedro, Wilmington and Long Beach are all agog over the reported attempted suicide of Mrs. Odella Hightower, beautiful and charming matron of Wilmington. The reports, coming so closely upon the heels of the death of her supposed step-father, Joe Traylor, with whom she lived, are prophetic of sensational disclosures during the trial of her husband, Raymond Hightower, who is to be tried in Long Beach for the alleged murder of Joe Traylor. Rumor has it that the reported attempts at suicide resulted from fear that asserted scandalous happenings of the last eighteen months would come to light. Popular opinion is decidedly in favor of Hightower; for the death threats and bullying of "Bad Joe" Traylor are common talk among those who knew the two men. Raymond is a quiet, wel-mannered chap, who has worked steadily for the Southern Pacific company for a number of years, coming to the Wilmington job from the plant in Wyoming. According to his intimate acquaintances, he was a very kindly father, and a great lover of books. Traylor, the deceased, on the other hand, is reported to have been a bull-dozing type of person, illiterate, uncouth, and quite immoral. The background of the shooting consists of a long period of family controversy between Traylor and Hightower, Traylor continually interfering, it is said, into Hightower's family affairs, demand that Hightower's wife and child live with Traylor, and that Hightower not visit them, Hightower objected, claiming that Traylor's home was adulterous. Quarrels, threats, and fights ensued, leading up to the climax—the shooting. Attorney Leon Whitaker, well-known and brilliant young bristler, who is Raymond Hightower's chief defense counsel, was non-committal when approached by a representative of the California Eagle. An Open Letter Los Angeles, California May 20, 1929 Mrs. C. A. Bass. Managing Editor of the California Eagle. 847 Central Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Dear Madam: A timely warning to the colored voters in this campaign, "Watch your steps," the goblins will get you if you don't watch out. Beware of the Greeks, who come to you bearing gifts; also our white people when they attempt to disqualify your honest and efficient Negro leadership. Were it not for the heroic struggles and the great sacrifice made by our leaders, splendid men and women that they are, those of the past and present, our race would still be in the wilderness, with little or no protection or progress. King Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun. Aftr listening to the ancient verbage of the Rev. Bob Shuler, his forty acre and the mule talk over the radio to our people, I have come to the conclusion that the old king was right. I'm satisfied that the letters he read over the raido, said to have been written by colored citizens, was the work of white political tricksters of colored men who have no standing with their own people. Rev. Shuler said that he himself was not a "Klu-Klunk-Klan"—that he had never taken the oath. He did not say which one he had reference to, perhaps so. But he frankly admitted that he had been their spokesman and orator of the day at several of their big meetings. "There was a man in our town, And he was wondrous wise— He jumped into a bramble bush And scratched out both his eyes. But when he saw what he had done, He jumped with might and main Into another bramble bush BONELLI SWEEPING EVERYTHING BEFORE HIM IN SOUTH L. A. DISTRICT Last Tuesday evening, Macedonia Baptist Church on 114th Street was packed on the occasion of the meeting of the Citizens Council and Industrial League which organization met for the purpose of making endorsements for the election on June 4th. The League endorsed a full ticket and did so with practically a unanimous consent. Nigh unto 200 members participated in the voting and each office was taken up and voted on separately. Of course the nomination for Mayor was the high spot in the evening's deliberation, and with but a feeble protest from one solitary and lone member, Wm. G. Bonelli received the endorsement of the body with but one dessenting vote. The endorsement of this organization means much to any candidate; it means that 99 per cent of them are enlisted to vote and work for Bonelli. It means when the vote is cast that Bonelli will come out of this section with a vote of night unto 10 to 1 and if he is short somewhere else South Los Angeles will readily make up the shortage. OTHER ENDORSEMENTS Following up the events of the night before, the Women's Wednesday Morning Club held a monster banquet at the Dunbar Hotel. Quite 200 were present and by unanimous vote the club, endorsed the candidacy of Wm. G. Bonelli. This is a live wire organization and has a large and loyal following. Mrs. A. E. Walker is the president. Guests were Prince Blayechettai, C. H. Alston, Dr. H. C. Hudson, Rev. Lightner, Rev. Harris, Johnny Johnson and others. The program consisted of short addresses, interspersed with musical selections and a breakfast banquet fit for a feast of kings and princes. The Federated Voters League as numbered among the many endorsers of Bonelli, which was by unanimous vote at a regular meeting of the League last Monday evening. Prominent Bonelli supporters are Norman Houston, Geo. A. Beavers, Jr.; John W. Fowler; Jesse Graves; Wood Wilson; Louis Tennette; W. R. Knox; Rev. C. F. Jones; Wm. Booker; Mr. Laws; Atty. Leon Whittaker; Percy Buck; A. H. Lee; S. Cox; Rév. Harris; J. Spikes; Wm. Robinson; E. W. Fleher; Elijah Cooper and others too numerous to mention. And scratched them in again." He boasts that he knows the colored people and said he was raised with them. To understand a people one must know something of their sturgies; the things they rope for and their ideals. If those who think they know the Negro would put themselves in the Negro's place for a short time, and try to be worthy of their confidence, then it might be possible for them to know the Negro, other things equal. Never in all my life have I heeded a white man speak in endearing terms of his black mama, that was really worthy of a black woman's love. They will tell you they love *Negro* in his place—what they mean is a place of inferiority. Civilized and cultured people love their equals, honor their superiors and pity those who are in farior to them. The Ray. Shulzer's radio talk, to the colored people, reminds me of an ante-bellum sermon I once heard. The preacher took for his subject: "The Tempta." Among other things he said: "And the devil taketh him unto an exceedingly high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms Mary and John HAPPY FAMILY OF OUR NEXT MAYOR CONFIDENT OF VICTORY—William G.

Six graduates were given diplomas PRESENTING A SOLID FRONT UPON PROGRESSIVE MEASURES We appreciate to the highest degree the attitude expressed all along the line in support of the measure which will be submitted to the voters on June 4th in behalf of the future prosperity of the great country in which we live. The proposition is that of the voting of $40,000,000.00 in bonds for which the Bureau of Power and Light may carry into completion its mighty program of progress. It is to be borne in mind that in supporting these bonds, there is absolutely no increase in your taxes. For the Bureau of Water and Power will not only pay off the bonds, but will in addition contribute many millions of dollars besides to our treasury as a result of the profits which accrue from the sale of power and water. It will be gratifying indeed for the voters of our group to come forward MAYOR For Mayor of Los Angeles, shown enelli, Robert M., 8 months and to go forth and expound the gospel. Quite an impressive program was rendered. Dr. J. M. Riddle is the Dean of this institution and has proved a great inspiration to the work. He reports a great future for the work and announces the purchase of a tract of acreage in Watts where it is expected they will build a modern institution. with a unanimous vote upon this proposition. The measure stands out as the greatest harbinger for our future development and progress which has come forth since the original Acqueduct was approved by the people and which has also been the instrument which caused Los Angeles to be rightly called the wonder city of the world. At no stage of the game when a measure which has stood so fairly and proved its worth as this one, have our people faltered when called upon for support and it is fair to presume there will absolutely be no exception in the pending measure, which will enable the increase of the acqueduct one-fourth in capacity as well as to provide many other facilities in addition to new ones which will add great value to our holdings and prosperity to all.

As a matter of fact the article further discloses the Nordic theory is left without a leg to stand on. The whole works outstripped the Nordics. Both the colored American and Mexican defected the boasted Nordic with points to spare. "JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME "(By R. H.) "I suspect that some of my fellow Rotarians who are inclined to regard the Nordics as a superior race of human beings, received a shock yesterday when Willis Johnson introduced a colored lad, a Mexican, and an American as the three honor students among the boys at Rockwood school. Out of that trio the Nordics batted only 3313 per cent. "In the hope of discovering some extenuating circumstances which might reclaim Nordic pride, I went out to the school this morning to have a chat with the boys who turn in a record number of "ones" on their report cards every six weeks. "My visit to the school brought forth some interesting facts regarding these boys. For instance, Francis Collier, whose ancestors were brought from Africa as slaves only a few generations ago, not only rates the highest marks in his own class, the sixth grade, but is the honor student of the entire Rockwood school. "The record made by this col- (Turn to Page Six- "IN UNION there is strength," has been used so often that it has become hackeyed and yet, not often enough to convey its full meaning to people of color who are interested in politics. NO SOLDIER has proved himself braver or has answered the bugle call more readily than the Negro. He has served others, himself he cannot serve—at least politically. THE CALL to action in political campaigns, especially local, means confusion and desecration in his ranks. As has been said often in this column, others who contest for one and the same office, lay down the political battle axe immediately after the close of the campaign, shake hands, and go forth with the best feeling one toward the other. But not so with those of these-called Colored group. There is nothing impersonal about their political affiliation. They throw it bodily into their. They throw it bodily into their social and religious lives and sometimes friendships, cemented by years of sypathetic devotion to a cause, are rent accuser through some political misunderstanding. "No chain is stronger than its weakest link," is an expression that can easily furnish food for thought in Negro political ranks, for it is here alone that Negroes do not see and realize with what degree of seriousness they are seen through the eyes of the average. Caucasian politician. TWENTY YEARS ago when J. J. Neimore, Milton Lewis and others of that political brand were on the political battle front, Central Avenue was not dotted with separate political headquarters. Information was furnished from one source. JUST WHAT the duties of the numerous headquarters are, we are at a loss to know. Certainly they are not for the purpose of settling political differences and disputes that arise from time to time. For we are informed, in most cases reliable sources, that our Colored brothers make frequent trips to the downtown headquarters and tell "Mr. Billy," all about everything; for instance, how unfit a certain one, of his own group, is to fill a special place. ON MONDAY evening, May 13th, the Los Angeles White Home Owners Association of which Harry F. Burke is chairman, held forth at Rhodes Hall and transacted much business of importance included in which was a discussion of the opening of Broadway to Manchester avenue. Councilman Evan Lewis said that it would be worth $3,400,000 to open Broadway and twenty times that much to keep Negroes out of that district. "I have paid out of my own pocket $300.00 to keep Negroes to themselves East of Main street, but somehow they have eased in one by one and so spoiled certain neighborhoods to the end that they have been deserted by whites, turned over to the Negroes who have no money to keep up the property." Burke further said that Negroes were not industrious and not progressive, hence depended upon white people to live. "So that is why we want to keep them off Broadway and out of high class sections where we propose to build big business and give them employment—in other words keep them hewers of wood and drawers of water." At the conclusion of these remarks by chairman Burke, a Mr. Wilsey, recently of Chicago, took the floor and attempted to strengthen chairman Burke's contention as to residential restrictions for Negroes by asking: "It is a crime for white and black children to go to school together. We must keep these black fellows away from our women and girls. I don't call them 'Negroes,' I call them 'niggers,' that's what they are.

UPTON R. J. MURRAY PLAYS IN LUCK R. J. MURRAY, Chairman of the P. P. B. A. Local, No. 1, got a break last Tuesday when he had the forethought to call his local meeting one hour ahead of Mr. Snoddy's Safety-First meeting, with the result that Mr. Murray had about forty-five attentive porters which he should have at all meetings. It seems that this is a capitol idea and should be followed out throughout the summer. One of the most vital and important suggestions made during the P. P. B. A. meeting was that Local No. 1 take up the matter with Chicago regarding appointing an investigator for this district to visit the sick. I presume that there is some pay attached to this appointment, and do not know of any man in this district who is more entitled to the appointment than H. E. Washington. Mr. Washington during the many years that he has been on the sick committee is one member of that committee that never fails rain or shine, no matter where you live. He has kindly donated hundreds of gallons of gasoline to visit the sick and if this position should be up to a vote of the men, there is not a possible doubt but what he would be elected hands down. Let the slogan be—WASHINGTON FOR INVESTIGATOR. SAFETY-FIRST MEETING By the time that the safety-first meeting was called to order, the hall was packed uncomfortably, there was not nearly enough seats in the hall to accommodate the men that were there, many standing up by the windows and other places of vantage. The chairman of the Safety-first committee was absent and J. T. Ambrose was asked to take things in charge by Mr. Snoddy, Dist. Supt. A lively meeting was soon under way with many suggestions of an instructive nature brought out. Mr. Ambrose turned the meeting over to Mr. Snoddy who spoke for a short while, and then turned the meeting over to Mr. Robertson, the speaker of the day. His talk was very interesting and he made clear many points along the lines of safety.

LOB ANGELES MAIDS SHORT OF RUNS The Los Angeles Maids list has dwindled down to 12 maids, and it looks like some of the fair ladies are going to have to do some doubling this summer when the rush comes on. At the present time there are only 10 regular runs in this district with 12 girls to fill them. The maids now operating on the Sunset Limited will also be short of that famous Southern train after June 9th as it will be operated by New Orleans' maids. The New Orleans maids will have their lay-over here in Los Angeles. Some of the maids who are now running on the Sunset have been asked to transfer to Los Angeles and others have been asked to transfer to New Orleans. A general moving house will take place on or before June 9th when the big change goes into effect. MANY NEW PORTERS HIRED Instructor L. A. Coffin has had his hands full lately trying to break in 32 new porters for the summer rush, some are easy to catch on and others are like that famous piece of stone called solid ivory. By and by they catch 'em! PILLOW SLIPS H. E. Fry and A. W. Starks are now running together. Watch your step. Frye. R. Bradford who hails from Watts, California, will make a flying trip to New York when the rush starts. We hope he sees the statue of Liberty while there, and stays away from them wicked show girls. When T. D. Starks leaves home nowadays he takes what clothes the thugs left him along with him in his grip. Safety first says Starks. J. Ponder has been making his headquarters at the Angelus Funeral Home and says if he should die before he wakes, Hill will not have to look for him. J. W. Watts had the nerve to bump Prescott off line 3460. E. Ollison must have caught Mr. Ross asleep last week. The writer saw him on the Lark. W. H. Walker has got his eyes on line 28 to San Diego. What's the attraction, Kid? Mr. Clarence L. James, mail clerk, residing at 1726 E. 53rd St. is spending his vacation at Albuquerque, N. M. He his wife and daughter with him, so he should not get lonesome. E. W. Brackett bumped C. H. Drish from 3460, 3460 must be a popular line. J. A. Reeves, 934 E. 46th St., is sick in the General Hospital. N. Arrant is on the sick list at 3211 Morgan St., he is a retired Chicago West porter. R. Tindall is back on the job again after a period of illness. The next meeting of the Pullman Porters Benevolent Association will be held at the Y. M. C. A., May 29th, 11:30 A. M. Porter Glascow was at the Safety First meeting with his clothes wrapped up in a newspaper. She's funny that way. The season is on, also the red caps vacation season. The list of names grows daily.

ELBR 4025 Central Avenue is time for everyone to take a vaca- tion. There is only one name that we are all looking for and have been looking for ever since 1910, but as yet it has not been added. Mr. T. J. Irvine and Jas. Harding are in Chicago this week en route to New York. We expect to hear great things when they return. Mr. Bell is leaving on a 30-day fur- lough and will visit Frisco, Oakland, Portland, Seattle and Spokane. Somebody said that Sam Thompson was going to Pasadena on the red car line. After an absence of several days Mr. J. W. Carrothers is back on the job looking fine as a fiddle. Mr. John Wilson is off on sick leave and spending a few weeks in Elsinore. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Landry are so- journing in New York. Both have en- joyed quite a vacation and the boys are looking for them home soon. Mr. Fountain Brown is again on duty after several days' absence. Mr. Giddings is preparing to enter U. S. c this summer. Poor boy, he is determined to win, because he will not quit. Keep it up, Giddings. a winner never quits and a quitter never wins. Mr. Clifford Farrar, Mgr. of the Red Caps Baseball nine, was seen not long ago in conference with the president. They both came out smiling. Our report is complete says Mr. Farrar. We played four games and won them all; and just watch our smoke for the big game on May 30th. We understand that Mr. Hugh Gary is out to make a star out of himself, and we ask him to watch his step. Have you seen Mr. Bacon in his red hot new sport sedan yet? Well, he spent a few days at riverside and took the town by storm. He motored down but we do not know how he got back. The Boys are getting tired on waiting for Mr. Galloway's program; it begins to look like the bunk. Painting Papering Kalsomining GOOD WORK.

When Studios Cut Wage Scale ~ Some time ago, we called attention to those who were endeavoring to eke ont a living throngh working in pietures, that such a decrease in their wage scale would soon come about. We also intimated that such a waze reduction would not benefit the film industry. However, these same con: ditions kave come about. The reason why—es we stated in the frevious article—the studios shouid pay a higher wage scale to recogniz- ed screen players, is that where the colored actor is concerned opportun- ities for work are not near as fre- quent as those for other groups, The Negro actor now-days has become to a large extent part of the industry. He is not only needed to form aceu- rate Lackgrounds for stories that are centered around white principals, but, his highly trained talents are demand- ed for the all-colored cast films being made, The major compantes will continue to make all-colored cast pic- tures, and, hence the more will be the demand for a highly trained color- ed actor. ‘Now, these same players in demand, cannot afford to lay around 20 days out of a month ona five dollar per day check. it is near impossible to make such a wage spread, The color- ed extra on account of this very un: certain time of employment, compared to the opportunities of the white ex- tra, receive a higher rate of pay.

The management announces that Sunday night, June 16th, this group of versatile perform. ers, who have scored repeatedly in dramatic, comedy and musical pro ductions since their arrival last Au gust, will leave Los Angeles for the summer months. ‘The final three weeks of the Lafay- ette troupe's engagement promise to be outstanding ones and Lincoln pa trons are urged to witness the re maining attractions without _ fail “The Divorce Question” opening Monday evening is another of those powerful dramatic vehicles in which the talented Lafayette Players scor¢ -so_triumphantly.

As we read down the list faces and forms long. forgot ‘and inci- dents that ceased to be remembered came before us vividly. The blgre of trumpets, beat of drums and the plaudits of the spec- tators along the routs. We remembered with what avidity the promoters of the Race display entered into the occasion and entered fully into the carvival spirit. It was that same spirit of codperation among the pioneers of Los Angeles Race citizens fee made it possible, in a civic way, to be as free from the ra¢ial-taint of prejudice as it is.On reading further the remin- iscer makes mention of an incident in which he errs. If the queen of,the fiesta was “a most beautiful queen” the young lady who reresented the “Group” was a regal one and she was attend- ed by as pretty a bevy of children as any race can produce. The laté Bob Wilkins, and I think, Charlie Bird. and the writer were standing within twenty feet of where the teams of horses shyéd and when it looked as ifa serious accident might hap- pen pushed through the crowd. It was all over in an instant, and.everv one was admiring the then Miss Wilson; for her courage in pacifying and calming the children attending her. | We are verv sure that the “Reminiser” is mixed up in the state- | ment that Miss Wilson deserted her throne. It is obvious that it was far more dangerous for hed to leap from that height than it was to stay put. We remember that even the little tots caught the spirit of their queen and went through he ordeal withithe stoicism of young Spartans. Yes brother: Those were the days! Days when co-operation was spelled with a capital “Cc”, And things were accomplished. +; Strange as it may seem; every literary.award that has been made so far has tended to some feature of Negro life. And they have been written by white authors. “Searlet Sister Mary” by Miss Peterson, has the first prize of $1,000 for the best book | and Steven. Benet volume of pems “John Brown’s Body” re- ceived a like prize. There is a mine of‘musical and literary wealth in our race lore and it is being ‘xploited, pgorly, by people who think that they know but who have only scratched the surface of the hidden gems. It won’t be long before one of the race who, while imbibing the necessary cultural knowledge, will serapeoff the veneer and give us the true Negro book. They are forming: Every year they are growing closer to the mark, and some bright morning a Race author will awake to find the wreath of literary fame dangling before his eyes. The great trouble so far is, we can’t get away from the “Apeing.” Can’t “be Yourself.” s & Returning to the subject of cooperation: A splendid sign that the Negro is rapidly learning its value is shown in the merging of the two insurance companies, Liberty Life of Illi- nois and Supreme Life of Ohio. They were merged under the laws governing like institutions in Ohio and the merger was j Signed by the Governor and Commissioner of Insurance, Every day there is placed before the eyes of the Race business mn the value of concerted work. It is the era of big things and no individual is capable of coping with the power of big money. We have in mind firms of several decades of good standing in the commercial and financial world who have. found that it is | impossible to compete with the modern treand of business and | alowed themselves to be swallowed up in the big max. The in- | dividual laundry which used to do a thriving business has found | that it is more profitable to merge with the other two or three | in the community than to go it alone. As with that industry so | with many others. The little fellow has small chance. AH!

The Whip produces fac simile copy of letters by one of the high officials of the company giving reasons why the company refuses to employ colored agents. We are reproducing the letter also excerpts from the news article from the issue of that publication of May 11 inst. Those who have wondered why the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company does not employ colored people need not guess or surmise any further for one of the presidents has written down in black and white his exact reasons and signed his name to the information. A. F. C. Fiske, second vice-president of this gigantic concern, on the first day of May addressed a communication to James Hale Porter, 4823 Calumet avenue, Chicago, explaining very carefully and in detail the policy of the company, and also concisely presenting his reasons why the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company does not employ colored people as agents, and indoesnf, as he, rob and him Nine Hundred Millions Mr. Porter wrote to Mr. Frederick H. Ecker, president of the Metropolitan on the 19th of April in behalf of a Chicago Property Owner's association inquiring why the company employed no colored agents and legging information from the president as to the general policy of the company toward its colored patrons. Mr. Fiske states that the letter was referred to him and proceeded to set forward the attitude of the Metropolitan. Mr. Fiske did not state in his letter, however, that colored people have over nine hundred million dollarsl worth of insurance in the Metropolitan, nor did he notice that all of the colored insurance companies in America combined have only four hundred million dollars worth of insurance from their own people on the books. He did not mention the fact that his company employs colored people in no capacity whatsoever. As to the situation in Chicago, which Mr. Fiske stated that he had given some personal consideration, he made no mention of the fact that his company collects over two million dollars per week from colored people, nor did he mention that in this city his largest industrial debit may be found.

Randall as being that of a man unfit to represent his district in the City Council, the three unsuccessful candi- dates for nomination to that office have thrown their combined support to W. C. McCall, who will oppose the incumbent. Pointing to the fact that Randall is held in utter disdain by his fellow councilmen, who have repeatedly branded him in resolutions and on the floor of the council as a "cheap political grandstander," whole sections of fertile San Fernando valley are virtually up in arms against any plan to return him to office. The three defeated candidates who are supporting McCall against Randall are Attorney Charles G. Young, T. W. Hughes and Mrs. Estelle Hollman. Leaders in the fight against Randall include prominent residents of the Chatsworth district where it is alleged Randall diverted funds, appropriated for the improvement of Devonshire street, to improve highways in his own immediate district and those of his political friends whose favor he sought to incur at the expense of the people.

BIOGRAPHY Perry Thomas was born on June 9, 1897, in Postville, Iowa. He came to California with his parents in 1908. He was graduated from Santa Ana High School and then entered the University of Southern California, College of Law. Perry Thomas had just completed his junior year in the law college when, the entered the Navy, where he served with honor until peace was declared ```markdown ``` Your letter of April 19th addressed to the President has been referred by him to me, as I have charge of the division of the Company's business in which Chicago is situated. You ask why we do not employ colored people to look after the large amount of business which we have in force on colored lives. The reason is, that we know from experience that better service is given our colored policyholders by white people than would be given by colored agents. We have tried the experiment at various times, and in sundry places, of employing negro agents. We found that, in the first place, they did not have the confidence of their own race which our white agents inspired, and, secondly, these colored agents did not have the patience nor industry properly to serve their own race. Hence, the rule for employing only white agents. I regret that Manager Mansbach's men is not a pleasant one. I am quite certain that he does not mean to be cross or discourteous to anyone. We have known him for nearly ten years, and have always found him a most obliging man with his policyholders. If you have any definite charge of discourtesy to bring against him, I shall be very glad to hear it, as we expect our representatives to show the same respect for our colored policyholders as we do for our white. In regard to his instructions to his agents that they are not to collect nights, I hasten to inform you that these instructions came from me, and not from the manager. I spent a week in Chicago last summer, interviewing our agents who are working on the south side of Chicago among the colored people. I found that many of them were physically afraid of collecting premiums at night. One of our agents to whom I talked, had been held up three times. Half a dozen others had been held up at least once. They all agreed that it was unsafe on certain streets on the south side of Chicago for anyone to work after dark, if it were known that he had money on his person. I think you will agree with me that this Company would indeed be a heartless corporation if it required its representatives to run the risk of such apparent physical danger. Hence, my instructions that agents did not have to collect at night, unless they so desired. We appreciate very much the fact that such a large percentage of the colored people have confidence in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. We do our very best to keep faith with them by seeing to it that our business is handled as efficiently as is humanly possible. Mr. James Hale Porter, 4823 Calumet Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Sir: Your letter or by him to me, as I have which Chicago is situated.

Coming to Orange county, Attorney Thomas was named Superior Judge by Gov. Hiram Johnson in 1913. The people of that county returned Judge Thomas by an overwhelming vote to a second term. Later Governor W. D. Stevens appointed him Associate Justice of the District Court of Appeal.

URE IN YOUR COMPANY Guarantee Fund Insuran ent-Health & Acc Los Angeles voters have had a chance to estimate Bonelli during the past two years, when as president of the city council he proved, time and again, that he stands for fair and square treatment of everyone. Experienced in municipal work, he has seen the inequalities of civil service handling of employees, and has come out strong for reforms which include equal pay for equal work. This is of striking importance to the colored race, as the city is the largest individual employer of colored citizens in Los Angeles. Bonelli is a church member; a citizen with a high standing for morality and law enforcement as any man in Los Angeles. He is for enforcement of law; he is against police brutality and third degree methods; but he will not attempt to impose bigotry upon the people.

BONELLI FOR MAYOR will be lost. Rev Bob Shuler's attacks on William G. Bonelli, candidate for mayor have led to a thorough awakening of colored voters throughout the city. For many years past, on the radio and in his magazine, Shuler has made statements which show that he is intolerant of race and creed. His close interest in the organizations which have tried to develop race prejudice are known to all. Just what is in store for Los Angeles if Shuler's candidate is elected is not known, but far-seeing men and women among the colored race fear that with Shulerism in the saddle, much of the gains that have been made, after fighting for equal and fair treatment for many years FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1929 SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 BUS ADVOCATE Albion In F.

The annual May tea given for the graduates and their parents on Mother's Day, by the Southern California Alumni Association was very attractive affair. The reception room of the Y. M. C. A. was very beautifully decorated for late occasion. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Walter L. Gordon. After a short business meeting, the meeting was turned over to Mrs. Frankie L. Bowdin, chairman of the program. Mrs. Bowdin paid tribute to the mothers in a speech to the audience. The association was honored by an address by Mrs. W. D. Carter, the speaker of the day. Mrs. Carter, a prominent Passdenan, is the wife of W. D. W.

The guests adjourned to the dining room to partake of the refreshments prepared by charming ladies of the association The Declamation Contest sponsored by hte Southern California Tlumni Association was an outstanding event for all.

It was undoubtedly an unexpected shock to many upon hearing of the death, on last Friday morning, of Mrs. Evelyn Reynolds-Wilson, in Berkeley, California. Mrs. Wilson was the daughter of the very estimable and pioneer citizens of California, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Reynolds, (now deceased) who made their home in this city upon coming to the West. Mrs. Wilson had been sick in bed for a short while, and was safely on the road to recovery (as thought by all who were in attendance at her bedside) when she took a sudden relapse from which she failed to rally. At her side, in her last moments, was her only daughter, Miss Margaret Wilson, who was most dutiful and tender to her mother's minutest wish; and a few friends. Mrs. Wilson leaves to mourn her demise a husband, Mr. Dennis Wilson; two lovely children—a girl, Margaret Wilson, a boy, Tommy Wilson; a few other relatives; and a host of friends. Mrs. Mamie Mannings or 3616 Morgan street has just returned from a week's visit in San Bernardino. While there she was the guest of Mrs. Georgia Mae Smith of 1091 Seventh street.

The great purpose is to help young girls to see, and appreciate the beauty of real womanhood and to shun the pitfalls in life, while at the same time keeping young and old alike to value and preserve health as one of the greatest blessings of humanity. Great and interesting things enter into the program of this far-reaching health organization, which has secured the co-operation of the leading ministers and physicians and dentists of our community.

Jones, B.D. | con, PER OP a | - | * in evolution and at times) pretty deép- ly in religion, gives the following: | “Harkers Island, off the coast [of South Carolina, has 1200) inhabitants, ‘on its 6000 acres of laud. It has po Public officials, no police, sheriff or doctor. The 1200, all fishermen, live peaceably. | ‘A community without police or laws is hard for us to imagine, Yet every good family fs such a community, Jhs- tice and kindness take the place lof the police and laws. The time is com. ing, and is less’ than a million years away, when there will be no’ need jof laws or police on this earth. Stience will provide enough for all, Emula- tion will replace competition. ven now nobody steal water from another ‘man’s well, There is plenty of water. A GOOD BET if If we were bettors we would het @ good sum that they (those people on that island) have at least two Preachers and a school teacher ahd that they. sgidom see a daily paper. Mr. Brisbai@says that-in less than a million ¥ ‘the whole world will ‘te like thi. In Tess time than that, brother, much, much less time than that. | But he says Science will do it. Yes, science. What old Science? It will be the Science that “dwelt among {ts and we beaold His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14); the incarnation of divine ‘wisdom,’ the thorough thought, the settled’ sén- tence, the Revealed Will, the Mani- fest Mind of God, Jesug of Nazareth, the Christ. He is the real, true S¢i- ence. at t By this Logos eternal God made the worlds, and tedeems “humanity. Mr, Brisbane in another section, from which the article we have just quoted was taken, tells us about the moon. The earth threw it off—it was a past of herself—then she caught it and held It within cn owbit just far enough away to rule the tides, to keep the ocean froth stagnating aud killing all Wise earth! Shc knew just “how much to throw off, how far to thrdw it, when to catch #, and how ty hotd it. No wonder the ancients made gad- dess of the earth and worshipped ner! ‘They were wiser thangMr. }Brisbane and his school are will {9 credit them with being! And at that he says mo- thing at all of the moon’s giving ps light at might and of her influence brn moonstruck lovers and other lutta- tics! But he couldn't tell it all atter discovering such a wise and powerful earth! , Eh? { But the discovery’ of so wise an earth is about on par with the dis- covery of these old mastodon ahd sau- ian bones and the million year theo- ries which vain men “who would te wise” (Job 11:12) have evolved. CHRIST THE WISE CREATOR | But the Bible reveals, God, Those who will humble themselves and seek God know this. For He makes Him- self known in our hearts, If any man be in Christ he is a new creation\— not merely a new: creature, but a new creation. The future kingdom as well as the glory and power of the past is within such a/one. He has a light jn him above the light of the sun, tho’ he being a part of a present creatiqn also glories in the sunlight, Isa, 60:- 20. Psa, §4:11. The man of grade has @ sun that never more goes down, and to him the Bible becomes eternal truth, Psa, 19 and 33:4-6. He finds it out, it is Tevealed to him. “No man knows who the Son is but the Fatb- er, and no man knows who the Fath- er’is but the Son and he to whom the Son shall reveal bim.” { “all things were made by Him anfi without Him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:14. In the reginning God created the heaven and earth. And just like He created it rhe creation goes on today. The sun rules the day and the moon and thé stars rule the night. Everything that may be meant by the word “rule” may be implied here in the term. And it transcends human intelligence. Ger esis first chapter is still fulfilling. Read it and see. * | CHRIST RULING MEN | Mr. Brisbane says that we have evolved to the place where no men steals water from another's well, be- cause science -has made water so plentiful to every one’s hand, Maybi mot. But it ‘hean't. yet stopped men from Killing others and throwing them into their own wells and intd the sea and into the rivers, | ‘There is something in man that ebundance ‘and convenience ‘will no! cotrect.

Few ‘books fave created such’ ® widespread discussion as has raged about Joan Lowell’s “Cradle of the Deep.” The book itself makes fasctnat- ing reading, whether. one believes ey- ery word in it to be true or not. And surely, to the reader, it matters little Mhether Joan was really the heroiye of all the adventures in its pages oF not. There may be a wide element of fiction tn this narrative of the glam- orous life of a girl who went to sea when she was a baby who had to sleep in a specially made hammock and had to have a goat for foster mother, but she manages to give her story salty tang and a flavor of swashbuckling adventure which is {rresistible. Among the new tooks on order at ‘the Hlen Hunt Jackson Library, none ig more eagerly awsited than “What the Negro Thinks,” by Dr. Robert Moton of Tuskegee. In {ts pages Dr. Moton surveys fis people with an un- prejudiced eye, and his conclusions are orderly and dispassionate. This is a really scholarly volume which ought to prove of inestimable value.

M. E. Church Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor As usual splendid congregations worshipped at both services Sunday. The Sunday School had a splendid attendance. At the eleven o'clock service the pastor spoke from the subject "Happy People." The spiritual tide ran high as was evidenced by the rejoicing among the members of the congregation. In the afternoon, at three o'clock, the pastor and junior choir and a number of the members of the church attended the Quarterly meeting at the Second A. M. E. Church. The pastor preached the sermon, and the junior choir sang to the delight of hte congregation. At the evening service the pastor preached again, using as a subject "The Great Demand." At the close of the sermon Bro. Henry Scott was introduced and gave his testimony of how he had been wonderfully (saved). Next Sunday at the eleven o'clock service Prince Blyachettai will preach. The prince is a splendid speaker and the public is invited to hear him. The pastor and the senior choir and some of the members of the church will attend an afternoon service at the A. M. E. Church in Pasedena. The pastor will preach and the senior choir will sing. The pastor will preach also at the night service at Grant Chapel. Friendship Baptist Church Rev. A. P. Ranney, Pastor Services at the Friendship Baptist were wonderful and well attended, Sunday, May 19. The gospel message was delivered by the pastor in the morning and evening. Music was rendered by the choir. The $1,000 rally was a great success. Many worth while compliments are being given for the work that the members of the Friendship Baptist Church are doing, especially the choir. They have received many invitations from the different churches and choirs in Los Angeles and also some of the churches in South Los Angeles. The Sunday School is doing extraordinarily well. Their rally which was held on Mother's Day was a wonderful success. They are doing better than ever in attendance and also financially. Why not come and see what the members are doing over at Friendship? A hearty invitation is extended to all who wish to accept it. MACEDONIA BAPSTIST CHURCH Rev. L. M. Curtis. Pastor Sunday School was as usual, very good in splendid attendance. At 11 o'clock the choir entered the auditorium to the sweet strains of Holy, Holy, Holy. The devotionals were conducted by the visiting ministers. Pastor Curtis preached from the book of John, selecting for his subject: "Fruit Bearing." This was a wonderful sermon and will always live in the hearts of his enthusiastic hearers. Many visitors were present, also a visiting minister and his wife, and the reporter was sorry not to have obtained the names, but we are always glad to have our visitors come and worship with us. A very pleasing session was held by the B. Y. P. U. at 6:30. The lesson was reviewed by Sister Green, the president of our Mission Circle. At 7:30 we came to the closing of the evening services with a very appreciative audience and another wonderful sermon. The weekly meetings will be governed by the church calendar and all are requested to be present. Next Sunday will be a big day all day at Macedonia. The morning services will be conducted by a visiting minister, and the evening services will be conducted by Prince Blaychettai of South Africa. This prince comes to us fall of inspiration and information and it is the request of Pastor Curtis to have the house packed at these two special meetings. The Boy's Day has been postponed, giving the boys plenty of time to make a splendid record for their day. Watch the paper for the date of same. Mrs. Lettie Price is improving in her home on East 115th street, to the delight of her many friends. There are many members of the church sick and it will be the delight of the pastor to have all visit the sick.

Long Beach News Long Beach News MISS EVELYN RICHARDSON Members, friends and many visitors to the A. M. E. Church last Sunday enjoyed a most inspiring sermon preached by the Rev. H. Herring, pastor, in which he explained the words "heaven" and "Jesus" in a very interesting and satisfying manner. "Anyone ever having really known the joys of a 'heavenly' life," he said, "could not possibly desire to return to the other." And that "we should make the third heaven, which surpasses the starry and celestial ones in both illumination and mortal comfort, be our 'Seventh Heaven' goal in life." Rev. H. Herring is very thankful to see such an increase in his "flock" and invites all to come out his Sunday. Revival services were hinted to be held in the near future. --- Everyone is certainly pleased to see Rev. Brannon of the Second Baptist Church, up and around again after a period of severe illness. I might add, too, that he is around now in a different way. It used to be shoe leather, and now it is tire rubber. We think your car is lovely. Rev. Brannon. The Misticity and Sunshine Club met at the home of the president, Mrs. S. F. Andrews, Thursday. This being the first Thursday in the month, the meeting was devoted to business and dues were paid. The club received an invitation from Mrs. Jaunita Williams, an absent member, to visit her in Watts the following Sunday, and the members decided to surprise her with a Stork-Shower. Accordingly, the club motored to Watts Sunday and presented Mrs. Williams with a beautiful bassinet, the gift of Mrs. Andrews, filled with dainty articles given by the other members of the club. The presentation speech was made by the vice-president, Mrs. Marie Clay. With summer coming, it seems everyone thinks they must buy a new car. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Howard have just bought a new Studebaker Commander. Then, too, we see that the popular mechanic, Mr. Albert Reeves, has purchased a Cedilac touring car. But to cap the climax, who but Miss Rose Williams, should drive up on the avenue, with a white fox around neck, in a new Packard coupe? I am beginning to believe that Long Beach isn't so small after all. The Bon Ami Girl Reserves met last Sunday afternoon at the Y. W. C.

Gordon, Jr. Page----Six NORDIC SUPERIORITY GETS A SET-BACK (Continued from Page One) ored boy recalled to my mind an illustration which Tully C. Knowles, my history professor in college, frequently used. Knowles was a consistent teacher of the theory that we inherit from our ancestors only our physical characteristics—that heredity has nothing to do with the mental capacity of a boy or girl who has a normal body. He declared that a native child brought from Africa or China, under the proper environment, could become as good a student as a native American—and there were in the classes at U. S. C. several students qualified to bear out this theory. "Before coming to Calexico Francis Collier attended colored schools in Arkansas. I asked him if he did not find it more pleasant to be in school among children of his own race. He replied, 'no, the teachers here are friendly, and the boys and girls treat me fairly.' "His comment reflects credit to the younger generation of white American children. "Rodrigo Valle, the second boy in the honor group, came to Calexico from the little village of Mulege, far down on the Lower California peninsula, three years ago. He could scarcely speak a word of English when he entered the opportunity room at Dool school. After three months he was transferred to the third grade. He is now in the seventh and enjoys the distinction of being a student who refused a promotion. His teachers would have passed him to the eighth grade this year, but he told them he wanted to improve his English before he advanced too far. His father is dead, and he is anxious to complete his schooling so that he can contribute to the support of his mother. "Llewlyn Sobke, the third boy in the group, is not as foreign as his name might indicate. His ancestry is German, but his parents were born in United States—and those who heard his address on Boy Scouting at the Rotary club yesterday will grant that the Nordic third of the honor trio is a genuine 100 per cent American boy. He is a clear-thinking lad, and this may be partially explained by the fact that his idol in American history is Alexander Hamilton." AMiccelaneous shower honoring Mrs. Wm. J. Thomas (Aline Williams) was given Thursday evening of last week, by Miss Mettie Hendrix and Mrs. Nora Wheeler, in the home of the bride's mother.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened PRESENTING SOLID FRONT tinent information by the Department of Water and Power will be not only illuminating but will be educational as well, and justify our appeal for a 100 per cent support for the voting of these bonds. WATER AND POWER-A CITY'S VITAL NECESSITIES On June 4, a $22,500,000 Water Bond issue and a $17,500,000 Power Bond issue will be submitted to the people. Los Angeles is getting ready for Boulder Dam by preparing Now for the Next Million population. Colorado River resources will take care of the Future millions, but it will require 10 to 12 years to make these resources available. Meanwhile, the Department of Water and Power is preparing for the Next Million which will be here be Chairman of the, Eastside Citizens Committee and Supervisor of Tenth Is asking all members of her group to rally to the support of Councilman Bonelli, candidate for the Mayor. With the gland stall taken by the Councilman on civic rights and his splendid knowledge of governmental law qualifies him for the mayoralty chair and gives assurance of efficiency which is much needed during the next four years. fore Boulder Dam resources arrive. The proposed Water and Power bond issues are part of a $50,000,000 Prosperity Fund to be invested during the Next Three Years in financing large extensions and betterments to the City's water and electric systems. Of the total investment, $10,000,000 will be made directly from Department earnings. The balance will be financed by bonds. All interest and principal charges on these bonds will be paid, year by year, from earnings of the Department—and not from taxes. Major projects to be financed by the Water Bond issue: Increasing the City's Aqueduct water supply 25 per cent, by purchase of additional water lands and water rights in Owens Valley. Enlarging the Los Angeles Aqueduct carrying capacity 25 per cent. Additional reservoirs near Los Angeles sufficient to store 12 billion gallons of water for domestic use. One hundred and fifty miles of water trunk lines. Installation of pumping plants and storage tanks in Los Angeles to improve water pressure conditions. General extensions and betterments to City's water distributing system. Major projects to be financed by the Power.Bond issue are: Two new hydro-electric power plants in Owens Valley. Two hundred miles of transmission lines to bring hydro-electricity from Owens Valley to Los Angeles. Additional reservoir capacity along the Aqueduct route for us in hydro-power development. Eleven hundred miles of new distributing lines and underground cables. Six new electric distributing stations. Vote "YES" Water and Power Bonds—will not increase Taxes one cent. The Propositions are 1 and 2 on the ballot. Citizens Rally for a United Support for Bond Issue It is fortunate indeed that all citizens regardless of who they are supporting for the various city offices to be filled at the election on June 4th can get together on the big proposition which progressive citizens agree the fullest possible support for the Water and Power Bonds. At a recent meeting of the Business and Professional Men's Luncheon Club, the bonds received the unanimous endorsement of this body. At another citizens meeting the tactics of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Company was exposed and declared a menace to the welfare of our citizens. The Colored voters no doubt will give to the measure a 100 per cent vote. There is every indication the voters will vote for their own interest and give a practical demonstration of their disapproval of the inuendos and false claims of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Company in its efforts to mislead anybody in voting against these bonds. They will repudiate the Gas Company for its brazen gesture that in order to placate our people when the Somerville Hotel was erected (they wanted the contract) they agreed to give representation to our workers. They actually put on a gang of laborers, kept them for a few weeks, admitted no fault with their work, but unceremoniously fired them as soon as the hotel was completed. If for no other reason therefore we should line up in a solid phalanx, vote and work for the bonds at the election on June 4th.

PROGRAM FOR PROGRESS In recognition of the vital importance of maintaining ample supplies of water and power for Los Angeles, the City Council has unanimously voted to submit the water and power bond issues as Propositions 1 and 2 at the June 4th election. Proposition 1, it was pointed out in a statement issued by President John R. Richards of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, is a $22,500,000 Water Bond issue. Proposition 2, he stated, is a $17,500,000 Power Bond issue. Emphasis was given to the fact that adoption of these two bond issues will not increase taxes one cent. All interest and annual principal repayments on all general municipal water and power bonds are paid from earnings of the Department of Water and Power, Richards explained. The City Charter in Section 233 makes it mandatory upon the Department to meet all these bond charges out of its earnings—and not from taxes, Richards declared.

"Ten million dollars of this great prosperity fund is to be invested by the Department DIRECTLY from its earnings. The $40,000,000 in bonds will likewise be carried out of Department earnings, these bonds being repaid over a period of years. "The purpose of this huge water and power program is to provide Los Angeles with adequate water and power supplies and facilities to take care of the next million population. It is to tide us over until Colorado River water and power have actually been made available. It will take us ten to twelve years to bring in the Colorado River resources. In the meantime, the City must continue to grow." "A 'Yes' vote for Propositions 1 and 2 is a 'Yes' vote for more homes, more industries, more payrolls and more prosperity for all." Heh!

Bald-headed men and prematurely white-haired women, according to Miss George, are not victims of some hirsute disease but uncleanliness. To insure the eternal youthfulness of the scalp, the hair should be shampooed every day. "Practically all diseases of the scalp," Miss George explained, "are the result of exudations from the pores, known as 'cradle crust', which appears on a person's head shortly after birth and, unless eradicated starves the hair cells and chokes the natural growth."

Came to the Angel City about two years ago and has made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Daggett. When Mrs. Montgomery made known to her friend last Wednesday of the approach of this glorious event, the beautiful home was thrown open for one of the greatest celebrations many of the seventy-five or more guests had ever witnessed. Love, joy, peace and happiness was the outcome. Many aged ones were present, friends so much beloved by the evangelist it was an old fashioned gathering to a spiritual feast. Mrs. Ada L. Barmam was Mistress of Ceremonies. Songs, prayers, testimonies and a brief history of the missionary activities of our sister tears of joy, with shouts of praises, was in order for the men, women young and old, who took part in the services.

This White Owners Association has been on the job with such leading lights to the fore as Harry F. Burke, Cole Salling and Councilman Evan Lewis. Mr. Lewis, who is the councilman representative from the 5th district, further stated that the Negroes living in that district knew his attitude and that is why they did not vote for him. We are constantly calling attention to the activities of this organization not with any desire to stir up animosity between the groups, but to call the attention of the Negro people to the fact that while we are fussing and fuming over politics and other matters of less importance, to us, the whites (especially the poor whites) are laying plans by which they will keep us playing the role, in the great world industrial drama, of servants or serfs. Let Ethiopia stretch forth her hands unto God and be free of the hatred and strife in her own ranks and become a component part of this, her nation, sharing alike in its prosperity as in its periods distress. --- LAST WEEK, when the Summer tourists started pouring into Los Angeles, among the daintily gowned and highly cultured ladies who stepped off at the S. P. Station, was Los Angeles' own Myrtle Anderson Foster. Mrs. Foster was coming home to visit her father, Mr. P. J. Anderson and other relatives. This little Los Angeles product has made her mark in the greatest Eastern Metropolis, New York City, where she built up a Girls Center in W. 136th street, which serves as shelter and home for homeless girls and holds within its bounds, a cheerful atmosphere.

I wish to thank my many good friends who helped to make the Tea given on last Sunday afternoon for Elizabeth Trimble, my niece a success, by assisting on the program and patronizing the affair. Miss Anjetta Breedlove accompanied by Mrs. Alice Burnett, National Representative and Atty. F. B. Ransom, General Manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., left the city last Friday, morning, May 17th for El Centro, California, there sh was met by Mr. Loren A. Bradford, to whom she was joined in marriage at Yuma, Arizona on Saturday, May 18th. Mr. Bradford is formerly of Ottawa, Iowa. The couple will make their home for the present in Phoenix, Arizona, where Mr. Bradford will engage in business conected with the Walker Mfg. Co. RACE ARTIST SCORES BIG HIT RACE ARTIST SCORES BIG HIT In a Whistling Recital, given by the California School of Artistic Whistling under the direction of Agnes Woodward, at Barker Brothers' Auditorium last Monday afternoon; Mrs. M. Diette Gross, the Roland Hayes of the whistling art, was easily one of the most outstanding artists on the program. She completely captivated her audience and held them spellbound with her clear, thrilling, bird-like notes, from the first measure of her Indian Specialty Act, "Fallen Leaf," to her dramatic exit. The Music for this number was especially marked for Mrs. Gross by Miss Woodward, and the gestures depicting the Indian sign language were drafted by Chief Eagle Wing, of the Kalamath Tribe. Mrs. Gross has been studying under Miss Woodward for the pas three years and is about to complete her Teacher's course, after which she expects to open a studio to teach the Whistling Art. ELECT DOUGLAS E. FOSTER Councilman 12th Dist. JUNE 4th His Record Speaks for Itself FOSTER is worthy of Our Trust "A Business Man for a Business Office Walter L. Gordon, Jr. Your Mayor FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1929 BONELLI BIDS FAIR TO SWEEP INTO OFFICE BY A LANDSLIDE The mayoralty contest, which during the primary election involved fourteen candidates and has now simmered down to a heated race between William G. Bonelli and his opponent, developed many amusing situations, not the least of which has been a report spread by those opposing him that Bonelli is an Italian and a Catholic. Commenting on this report yesterday, Bonelli said:— "If I were an Italian or a Catholic I would be just as proud of such affiliations as I am of my own nationality and my own religion. I have many dear friends among those of Italian extraction and of Catholic faith but I do not desire to run for office under false colors. I was born on the Bonelli ranch, near Kingman, Arizona, then and now owned by my father. I missed being a native Californian by about 30 miles and my father was born about 60 miles from California. On my mother's side I am of German descent and on my father's side half English and half Swiss, but so far removed that my ancestors fought in the Revolution and I belong to the organization known as the Sons of the American Revolution. With such an ancestral background, it would be an honor, indeed, if I could trace some relationship to Christopher Columbus, who was an Italian and a Catholic, but unfortunately, I cannot." It is well known by all who are familiar with Bonelli's private and public life that he has been active in the Presbyterian church since his early youth. He has been a member If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA --You May, Never Know It Happened A man absolutely free from bigotry, racial or religious prejudice; devoted to fearless, uniform law enforcement and a square deal for all; a lawyer, college professor, a Presbyterian and a trained student of municipal affairs. Mrs. Bettie Hill, generalisimo heading the Westside forces for Bonelli, Werner and Virgil Martin, has no need to tell what she has accomplished for her favorites. The results stand out for themselves and for each one of the above favorites the of the faculty of Occidental College, a Presbyterian denominational institution as an instructor of municipal administration. Among the other churchmen who have endorsed his candidacy are: Dr. Edgar A. Wollam, Highland Park Baptist Church; Rev. D. W. Loofborrow, Garvanza M. E. Church; Rev. Sam H. Sutherland, Grace Presbyterian Church; Rev. Francis O. Wyatt First Congregational Church; Rev. W. G. Ruehle, Lutheran Church; Rev. John Wieland, Lincoln Heights Baptist Church; Rev. William G. Pnowlton, Advent Christian Church; Rev. William McKinley Walker, York M. E. Church; Rev. John E. Garth, Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church; Rev. John C. Hill, Holiness Church; Rev. Daniel Coyner, Evangelical Church; Rev. George E. Theiss, Emanual Lutheran Church; and Rev. Earl W. Haney, First Presbyterian Church. In addition to the Sone of the American Revolution, Bonelli is a member of the American Legion, United Veterans of the Republic, Sigma Alpha Episilon fraternity, California Bar Association, and Al Malalakh Shrine. As president of the City Council, Councilman, attorney by education, world war flier and former cowboy on his father's vast ranch he has had enough experience to hold down almost any job which requires nerve, courage and integrity. Certainly these qualities are sorely needed in the man who becomes Mayor of Los Angeles., in the opinion of his supporters. Westside rolled up a mighty vote. Mrs. Hill states that the only difference in the June 4 election and the primary is that the vote will be about doubled in favor of Bonelli, Werner and Martin. We are overloaded on letters for this issue on Shulerism. It is impossible to publish all of them. Readers therefore no doubt will be content with the treatise on that subject which appears in the Magazine Section of this issue. R. G. LaMar, Secretary of the Federated Voters League, says that from close observation, William G. Bonelli, candidate for Mayor, will without doubt receive 85% of colored votes. BONELLI SUPPORTERS RALLY ' TO CAUSE Last Friday evening at the St. Paul Baptist Church, the Eastside Citizens Committee fired the opening guns for the final election June 4th. Chairwoman, Clara C. Hulbert, presided at the meeting which was one of the largest and most enthusiastic Bonelli meetings ever presented. Bob Shuler's broadcasting and advertising program, aimed to boost a Portor-for-Mayor meeting scheduled for the same night, fell short of its mark. The surprise was that it proved a boomerang. Instead of hurting the Bonelli attendance, and swelling that of Porter, it had just the opposite effect. Right thinking voters were swept right into the Bonelli camp. The principal address was made by Atty. W. O. Tyler, followed by Rev. E. R. Driver and others. --- THE NEW YORK TIMES Colored Voters of Los Angeles who worked so zealously for Erwin P. Werner at the primary election are again circulating this district in the interest of his candidacy. Yesterday the Wednesday Morning Breakfast club made an unqualified endorsement of Werner, according to Anna E. Walker, president and Mrs. Lillian W. Prater, secretary. In its endorsement the club stated: "We need men of ability, experience, stamina, courage and above all honesty of purpose; and as we have such we do hereby endorse the candidacy of the Honorable Erwin P. Werner for that of City Attorney, and do hereby pledge the support of this organization. Wednesday night Werner addressed a meeting of colored voters at the Twentieth Street School. In his talk he pointed out that he has made no extravagant election promises and has created, no false issue. "I have promised relief from assessment evils and I shall do everything in my power to provide that relief, confident that it can be brought about through proper state legislation." Werner stated. Werner, made the target of some last minute publicity attacks just before the primary polled a total vote of $2.094 which was 20,868 votes more than polled by the second place man. The special committee on Congressional reapportionment appointed on the authority of the Executive and Advisory Committees of the Republican County Central Committee have met and considered the subject and have taken the position that there should be no action by the California Legislature, having for its object the redistricting of the State until after the census. William I. O'Brien is Chairman of the special committee having the matter in hand and when asked for his views said: The subject of congressional repositionment is important to California and particularly to Southern California. Since 1920 we have been trying, without success, to get the Representation in the lower House of Congress to which we are entitled under the constitution. It looked for a few days after the passage of the Fenn bill by the House of the last Congress that we might get some additional members, but the bill finally failed of passage because of inability to bring it to a vote in the Senate. "The situation at present is promising. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, introduced a bill which is designed to prevent the recurrence of such a situation as we have met since 1920. This bill fixes the membership of the House of Representatives permanently at 435, and provides that the President, after each decennial census shall reapportion the membership among the several states in accordance with the provision of the constitution: "This bill has been consolidated with the bill for the taking of the census and has been reported to the Senate with a recommendation that it pass and is on the calendar and will be taken up when the Senate disposes of the Farm Relief bill. This bill should be, and no doubt, will be supported by all of California's representatives. It will be seen, however, that we will not know until after the census has been taken, and the President has acted, how many members this State will have; but it is reasonably certain that we will have more than seventeen, the number that the Fenn bill would have given us. "In January when it seemed probable that the Fenn bill would pass, Senator Swing of San Bernardino introduced a bill into the State Senate which was intended to furnish the groundwork upon which to build a redistricting bill by the present legislia- FACTS ABOUT JOHN C. PORTER John C. Porter was born in Iowa on April 4th, 1871. His father was a Christian minister and the boy was reared on a farm. The family moved to California in 1882 and to Southern California the following year. Young Porter's education was obtained in both Iowa and California. In 1891, he started to work with the Southern Pacific Railroad as a telegraph operator. He was rapidly advanced and continued in various executive capacities with the railroad until 1906 when he resigned to start business of his own, in the garage and auto repair field, later developing into automobile parts and accessory business with branches in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Fresno. In 1894 Porter married Miss Mattie Lee, of Los Angeles. They are parents of two children, a boy and a girl, both now of legal age. The son is general manager of all the automobile and accessories businesses, leaving Porter free for other activities in civic work. JOHN C. PORTER'S AFFILIATIONS This statement should settle a few arguments. The following is a complete list of Mr. Porter's affiliation with ALL organizations: The Masonic Lodge, the Moose Lodge, the Church, the Church Brotherhood, the support he as given te Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls, the interest he has taken in the local Improvement Associations and Hospitals. This list is up to date BLUE-LAW PROPAGANDA PURE BUNK A large committee of business men called on Mr. Porter at his headquarters and put this question squarely up to him: "Mr. Porter, have you any BLUE-LAW, SPECIAL-LAW, OR PREAK-LAW, that you will try to enforce on the people when elected Mavor of Los Angeles?" Mr. Porter did not hesitate with this reply: "GREAT SCOT, NO! Absolutely not! And the only thing that keeps this question from being perfectly silly, is the fact that you gentlemen do not know me. When I am elected Mayor, I will do everything in my power to make the people say they are glad they voted for me. 'Better Government and Lower Taxes,' 'Good Business and Common Decency,' 'Porter and Prosperity,' are not brought about with Blue-laws or freak-laws. Faithful enforcement of the laws we have is all we need, and that will make a great change in our community. Los Angeles is the playground of the world and this playground must be made safe to play in seven days a week and fifty-two-weeks in the year. I love to hunt, fish and participate in sports, Gentlemen, have I answered your question?" "We are thoroughly satisfied and you will receive our endorsement by special messenger." This endorsement has been received and is now on the file with hundreds of others at the headquarters. College Campaign." May 19 to 25. The EDUCATION The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity sponsored a very wholesome and educational program at Wesley Chapel last Sunday evening. The joint program was just one of the big events sponsored by the Deltas and the Alphas in carrying out their education programs. May Week and "The Go-to-High-School. Go-to-College Campaign" respectively. It was the end of May Week, May 12 to 19, and the beginning of the "Go-to-High-School. Go-Toture, and it was because of the possibility that this bill might be pressed and an attempt be made by this legislature to redistrict the State that the special committee on Reappartmentment has acted. "Even if the membership to which California will be entitled was known at the time, it would be impossible to redistrict the State in accordance with the constitution until the 1930's population of every Assembly District of the State is known, for the constitution provides that congressional districts shall be made up of compact and contiguous assembly districts and that no assembly district shall be divided. "Even if the Vandenberg proposal fails of adoption and Congress passes a bill that will give to California a definite number of representatives and we should then be entitled to additional representation in the next Congress, still we should vigorously oppose redistricting by the present legislature. "In such an event we should elect congressmen-at-large for such additional number as we might be entitled to and wait for redistricting until the census is taken. It will be impossible to redistrict in accordance with the constitution until then. All anyone should ask is a square deal and an attempt to redistrict at this time would be purgeiness work and could not possibly be made with fairness to the different sections of the State. The people of every part of the State would think they had the worst of it. Any attempt to redistrict at this time should be unqualifiedly opposed. ONE FREE!

Mr. James McGregor, gave a very inspiring message on "Tomorrow," emphasizing the necessity of preparation for the future and calling attention to parents of their duty to see that their children are properly prepared to effectively compete in the land of Tomorrow. Miss Matthews' speech on "Invest in Education" told very well the value of an education. Other participants were Miss Angie Bell Harrison at the organ; Miss Baby Broyles and Mr. Ismael P.

As this was just the beginning of the Go-to-High School, Go-to-College Campaign, the whole story of that movement hasn't been told. On Monday evening contacts with parent and child were made. Wednesday afternoon at 2 P. M. the Alphas gave a Radio Program over K. H. J. featuring Samuel Brown at the Organ in a medley of popular numbers. This program came through the courtesy of the management of Radio K. H. J. It was well received and was a real credit to the race. Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. a program was presented before the Hi-Y clubs on education. Saturday evening, May 25, the Alpha Alpha Fraternity will be hosts to all the summer and winter male graduates of 1929 at the Masonic Temple. It is hoped that all these young men will partake of this reception. Just a word about the Go-to-HighSchool, Go-to-College Campaign. The Go-to-HighSchool, Go-to-College Campaign attempts in various ways to stimulate the ambition of boys and girls to seek education and to search for truth. Thus it is readily seen that the fraternities engaged in a militant effort for uplift and betterment, for promotion of the highest ideals of Manhood and Womanhood, stimulation of interest in the higher and finer things of life, and development of the ability to serve.

There was under discussion at this meeting a certain|proposition which at one angle touched upon the issues in the pending’ cam- paign. We have seldom witnessed the venom, hatred and prejudice displayed by any people toward another individual as was displayed by supposedly intelligent people as upon this occasion. We paused and reflected and thought how can we as a people ever come from under—, we are the footballs of prejudice and hate and here we are, the uplifters as it were, displaying more venom, hatred and prejudice than Hoke Smith, Cole Blease or old man Vardaman ever displayed in the hey day of their glory when the.old prejudice tanks were working over-time. | Do good unto all is an anxiom which has been brought down from the very beginning of time and if all others fail, it is up to us to present a practical demonstration of justice in our every act and thought. Suppose for instance some noted char- acter had always been our arch enemy and this same person had changed front and began to advocate our cause, are we with malice and hatred,to repulse him. Ih is our firm beliéf that when it comes down to the real test that there is ten times as much hatred, prejudice and en-| vy within the group toward one another as there is in any other groups maintain toward us, | We admit it is high time for us to get next to ourselves and get on the highway of progress by eschewing the hateful | attributé- forevermore. ‘ | REFUSES TO WASH OTHER HAND 4. perusal of this issue of the Soaring Eagle will unfold the information of gross unappreciation of the fact that the colored people are heaping millions of dollars annualy by the way of paying Premiums into the coffers of the great Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and further in return for this business, the company takes it as a matter of course and absolutely refuses to give in return any sort of recognition to this people. As a matter of fact it won't employ a Negro person in any capacity whatever. It has discounted |absolutely the rule of “one hand washing the other.” We are therefore not unlike the Hon. Marcus Garvey in this situation who thunders,—Get a country of your own!” We say get insurance companies of your own! You are the power yourself, pay your-premiums into the coffers of your own companies and there will be no question of the lack of rec- ognition and you will enjoy the Independence in all its fullness. HUMBLE AND BLACK, YET A HERO Race Hatred is an abomination as all hatred except hatred of evil. What determines birth we do not know, but it is clear that we merit no praise and deserve no blame because we have been born into one race rather than another. In view of this it may he well to consider instances that now and then arise to establish the right of members of.a so-called inferior race to honor, respect and moral heroism. The recent catastrophe in Cleveland produced one such instance. - Robert Chares is a giant Negro who, before the fire, was employed at manual labor in a Cleveland automobile washing establishment. Society offered him no better work and, in all likehood, most white people looked upon him with contempt and called him “nigger.” Yet when -that hospital flamed Chares did not stop to consider that the screaming victims at the, windows were whites. He knew they were sentient beings, threatened with a most hideous form of death. .He seized a ladder and rushed toward the flames. But the ladder was too short. Still, it reached when plac- ed atop his broad shoulders and 10 people clambered down its rungs to safety, No sooner were they safe than Chares cast the ladder‘aside and plunged into the inferno of smoke and flames and poison gas, and when he finally was driven away he had to his account 10 more human lives—a total of 20. Could a white man have done more? 5 Robert Chares deserves a Carnegie medal| for heroism. Will the families of those whom he saved secure this recogni- tion for him? When his dav of need arrives, Now many will remember their debt to him? ' He is humble and black, but who can deny that in his great body he posgesses those moral qualitied | that acclaim men great. . ole Robert Chares, black, has won the recognition we accord heroes and martyrs.—From the Hollywood News.

ADVERTISING AND PROGRESS | Advertising has proven itself to be the barometer of pro- gress. : It has not been long since business advertising |was so se- verely criticised and ridiculed as boasting of personal qualifi- cations. At the same time there was as little faith in the claims of advertisements as in the claims of the braggart. Only the quack and the imposter, who had everything to gain and noth- ing to lose, then resorted to advertising. Business is ever the standard bearer and apostle of pro- gress, and so it was business which discovered that advertising was a vital factor in all growth. When advertising was ad- mitted to the fireside of business it was not the big business of today. Big business traces its beginning with its employment of advertising. | In its conversion to advertising business was soon followed by industry, commerce and the professions. The benefits of advertising had made themselves manifest in each step forward. That was the evolution of advertising, until today advertis- ing plays a part in every phase of life and is the working instru- ment of all except the doctor and the lawyer, who still consid- er it “unethical” to advertise for business. He' may place his “card” in the weekly newspaper, but it is professionally for- bidden for the doctor or the lawyer to inform the public of his capabilities. Nothing in life has attained perfection.and evolution as an eternal, ever-continuing-advancement. The evolution of ad- yertising will not stop with its adoption by medicine and juris- prudence, but that adoption will establish another milestone of progress. SEEKING KNOWLEDGE The chautauqua speaker gets his audience into a receptive mood with assurances (given in all seriousness) that he has ney- er looked down into so many intelligent faces, whereupon ev- everybody call him jollier and all straighten up in their chairs with ears perked forward to prove they are intelligent by hear- ing and understanding everything the speaker has to say. This brand of lecture platform sycophant is manifestly in- sincere, because he tells every audience the same thing, but through its reaction to the platform lecturey, the public is ex- hibiting a greater seriousness of mind, which is an attribute of intelligence. The manner in which the public has reacted to the lecture platform is told graphically by the director of a large lecture bureau. He announces that in the past five years his bureau has received only one request for a humorist and that the lecturers who bring with them the most information are most in demand. The American people today will not listen to talkers who are just talkers, but they will go miles to hear_a man with something to say. The small town also patronizes the lectur- er-on European conditions, world peace and. even profound psychological and sociological questions. The growth of the nation and the advancement of education have awakened in the public mind a desire for information, facts, opinion and deep, serious thought. The public now goes to the lecture hall for mental improvement, For the sake of the family pride it may be a good thing that some of the ancestors people boast about are dead. When a man begins to talk about the narrow provincialism of his town, he means that the gossips have caught him at last | BY: W. J.

The hydraulic mining bill—which succeeded of passage after a rough voyage through house and senate—failed to receive the Governor's sanction, and his veto was sustained. The bill to transfer the control of San Francisco harbor to the city of San Francisco, after passing the Assembly was killed in the Senate by the margin of two votes. It might have proved an embar- rassing situation for the Governor had the measure passed, but it’s an odds on bet that he would have veteed it.

LOWEST RATES IN LOS ANGELES CROWN CABS WEstmore 8282 BEST SERVICE OBTAINABLE The above two questions have been heard quite frequently this week in regard to my objection of the Rev. Bob Shuler's "Address to the Colored People of Los Angeles." Maybe those that did not like it, liked "Bob's" digression when he was soliciting protests to be forwarded to the Governor against the Radio Slander Bill: "Yes, the Colored people may also send telegrams to the Governor; ah, yes, just sign your names, that will be alright." Just think of the gudidity of the suggestion in this remark—him sanctioning the permission of Colored people to send telegrams to the Governor to vouchsafe his continued slandering and blackguardying everybody—yes, even the Colored people of Los Angeles, whom he now seeks to cajoul at this particular time, for reasons which I am sure are best known to himself. Or, on the other hand, may be these same folks liked that other suggestive remark when he had, at about a quarter of nine peased for a moment, and re-opened with: "Now this is for everybody," and proceeded with his general tirade. I didn't like them, and at the time it struck me forcibly that Brother "Bob" must have for a moment forgotten, and imagined himself in the midst of those colored preachers in that town in Texas, where, he was very particular to stress, that he was the "only WHITE MAN present." It has been brought to my attention by many individuals that previous to his selecting of nights to "address the Colored people of Los Angeles" when he was just broadcasting to the world, he undertook to militate against the Colored traffic officers after some white woman or other had violated a traffic ordinance and received a tag therefor from an officer of color with these remarks: "Just think of it, the very idea of a great, big burley Negro cop stopping a white woman!" He openly fought Asa Keyes for appointing Attorney Clinton Ross (a Negro) to a position in the District Attorney's office. He, it is said, even fought vigorously the appointment of Attorney Bert McDonald (a Negro) to the position of a Deputy City Prosecutor. So you see, these, and numerous other incidents and stories of the characteristics and make-up of 'Bob' have preceded his "Address to the Colored people of Los Angeles," and makes me think (whenever I find a Colored man who would even give 'Bob' a listening ear) very much of the man who was going to Hell for Justice when the Devil was Judge. SOME INFORMATION FOR BOB Captain John Smith (if my memory of history is not incorrect) landed at Jamestown, Virginia, in the year 1607, with a body of men and a Grant from the King of England (James the 1st) to establish a colony. In the year 1619, Dutch trader landed in Jamestown also, with a body of BLACK MEN (although in chains) whom he sold to individuals in the colony for the purpose of doing general labor (which the white man was too lazy to do)—CHATTEL SLAVES. And this was no disgrace on the part of the Black Man, (as might ruled) for Capt. John Smith, who was so active in establishing this colony was, himself, a bonded slave in chains in another part of the globe, previous to coming to these shores. In the year 1620 the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth seeking religious freedom. In the year 1775 when it became necessary for these United States to shake off the yoke of bondage and oppression that England had set upon it, the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE of this growing nation was made possible by the SPILLING of the BLOOD of BRAVE MEN, and history records that Crispus Attucks, a BLACK MAN, was among the first to fare forth and lead a charge against the British at Boston in the year 1775 which formally opened hostilities with England and this country. And so on down the line—1812, 1863 (Civil War), 1898, 1916—the BLACK MAN has been here with the WHITE MEN, where they have labored and died together; then by what right does the white man—most of them with names that betray their foreign strain—at this time, and in years gone by, deny the AMERICANSHIP of the BLACK MAN, who was here at the very start. He, (the Black Man) has tilted the soil of this country, he has helped to build its highways, he has helped to build its railroads, he has helped to erect its buildings that tower to the skies, yes, he has DIED and BLED for it! The BLACK MAN is a real AMERICAN, and the average white man whose name is seldom pronounced correctly is actually a foreigner and is truly (or ought to be) the Hyphenated American, instead of the BLACK MAN, who is eternally and forever attempting to place a hyphen with all sorts and kinds of prefixes to his AMERICANSHIP. These conditions but exist by force and might over right, but some day, as surely as the sparks飞 upward, truth and justice, though now crushed to earth, shall rise and have its day. Let us then march forward with but one single thought of our status in this country—AMERICANS—and "cut out" all the rest of our foliends—"Black-Americans," "Afro-Americans," and whatnot. Now then, after the Franco-Prussian war, France found her man-power so depleted that she brought Black Men from her colonies in Africa to intermarry with its women that their nation might be built up. After the Boer War, the German soldiers who were stationed in Africa and had mixed and mingled with the African women, were compelled under law to marry these women before returning to the Fatherland; to bring them home with them; and to raise their families (which some had) in Germany, as all decent and respectable men should do, or be made to do—Black or White, or Black and White—who violate the friendship, trust and confidence of any woman. Consequently there grew up in Germany a crowd of swarthy individuals, (and there are lots of them there now) who were part and parcel of the government; no hyphenates, no discriminations, and many of these swarthy ones have attained high honor and If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened position in the government and may be even recognized in high circles today. "SHULER" is not an American name, to be direct, it is a German name, and it has been told me by those who know 'Brother Bob' that he is not of a fair (not "white") but a swarthy complexion. a swarthy complexion. Every man—'Black' and 'White'—has got reasons for the degree of color-phobia that he possesses, and if he cannot account for this said color-phobia, it is nevertheless present and maybe he is too dumb to recognize or acknowledge it. A fountain cannot bring forth sweet and bitter water at the same time—I learned that in Sunday School if I am not mistaken—and neither can Brother Bob' who has been agitating and militating against the "Colored people of Los Angeles" since he has been in this city, all of a sudden and over-night become the champion for their rights. Therefore, I think it an attempted insult for the Rev. (Bob) Shuler, who was the "only white man among his colored brethren" in Texas to "Address the Colored People of Los Angeles." Now then, I say, "Was he Right (?) or Was he Wrong (?) in this attack upon the Rev. Bob Shuler's "Address to the Colored People of Los Angeles?" The Black Man has, is, and always will be, a very potent factor in the fabric of this government. He has acquired, and is acquiring the best in education, culture and refinement, and the time is highly ripe that he should unequivocally demand the representation in the government to which he is a large contributor in taxes. In the matter of municipal and Federal positions and jobs in which competitive examinations are supposed to be the deciding factor in fitness for said office, his complexion should not and must not be a question in his appointment upon his achieving success in these contests. Now then, in the matter of appointments to office, by officials who have received the public support of his admirers, it is squarely up to these individuals to demonstrate their appreciation of the support of those who are worthy. It is very necessary that the man of color seek diligently into a candidate's attitude on these matters, and it is very vital that leaders of these people of color and their politicians begin to align themselves to this program solely and forget and overlook a few palty dollars to be made at election time, maybe at the expense of the stifling of their consciences. Let those of us who have "soldiered" or "slept" on the job, take new hope and create new ambitions in order that we may all move forward; no, not for just a "pull" with the powers that be after election, but for a part, parcel and share of the spoils that fall to all victors in any crusade. When I mention a little "pull" my mind runs back to the story told of a dear old Colorad Brother, in the Southland. (Uncle Ned, they called him) who had the job of caring for the lawns and shrubbery around a large mansion. It did not occupy all of his time, probably one day in every two weeks or so, and whenever it was necessary to trim up the lawns all the owners had to do was to send the day before and notify of the condition of the lawns, adding that big pot of hog jowls and greens would be pre- SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT By A. C. Harris Blibrew By A. C. Harris Bibbrow I am bringing to you in this article some things which I've been pondering over for quite some time, especially since having contacted the other group for a length of time in the field of Art and Drama. In all sincerity I am presenting this to you. My first thought is this: while we are censuring and scolding the other group for their unpleasant dealings with us, have we turned the mirror upon ourselves so that we might see ourselves as we really are? I am afraid not. I have often wondered why the great lecturers of our group THE ORCHESTRA who come from time to time, fail to impress upon us the importance of turning on the searchlight that we may rid ourselves of the many things which impede our onward march to success. My dear folks, the time is at hand when not only our group, but all the groups must face the facts. The time of camouflaging is pest, the masks are being removed, and we are being presented as we really are. As I see it, right thinking, right living and preparedness are the necessary attributes that will guarantee our success. This age is demanding preparedness along all lines. Should we apply for a position of pared for him. They had discovered that Uncle Ned was weak on hog jowl and greens, and as a matter of fact that was all Uncle Ned ever received for the care of the place. Well, one day they sent the usual notice to Uncle Ned, but he failed to put in his appearance the next day. The mistress of the house sent the maid again to Uncle Ned and instructed her specifically to inform him that they had hog jowl and greens. Shortly after the maid returned and the mistress asked her, where was Uncle Ned. "He says," she replied, "he ain't comin' Mam, for Colored people is eat'n' further up on the hog these days." Now that is true of the political situation. Wake up, old timers, and realize, like Uncle Ned, that we ought to be eating further up on that hog—politically—today; and we don't need any addresses from the type of 'Bob' "to the Colored People of Los Angeles." any sort, we are expected to take hold us one knowing, unless we apply as an apprentice. I have found these things out for myself, since having worked for ten or twelve weeks in the technical art of Movietone, and too, under a technical director. Herefore, if a person of color should be presented to a white group as a singer or musician, his or her hit was made before they opened their mouth or touched the instrument, but not so today. You've got to prove your self master of the situation, and we must admit that when we do this, with all their prejudice, they are big enough to style you as an "Artist." So it itz comedy drama or as be it jazz, comedy, drama or opera. Girls and boys, listen to this: "Well flowers are 'passe' a new day is dawning and bringing with it new and technical inventions that will buffle the most brained. Shall we prepare for the onrush or shall we sit idly by, waiting for someone to give us a special invitation? I say "No! A thousand times no!" Let us stop making believe, for there is positively nothing to it. We may as well break our shells of deceit and hypocrisy, step out like men and women and do something. The time is calling for people of REAL WORTH, people with a BROADER VISION. "Hearts in Dixie," was criticised severely by some of our group because of it being a picture of the 1870 period. I wonder if they stopped to think that there is a certain time to do everything. The writer of this story, (Mr. Walter Weems) said this to me on the set one day, "Mr. Bilbrew, we could no more sell a modern colored picture to the public first, then we could take wings to fly, and we are taking a big chance even at this." Some of our group didn't like the story, the dialect and all that. Why, I hear almost as much dialect in 1929, as I go about conversing with our folk in general, as the 1870 dialect used in "Harts in Dixie," and it doesn't come altogether from the older ones of our group either, you must agree with me in this, for you know it's true. We don't want conditions thrown on the screen, still we don't try to overcome them. Now, what causes that? It can't be the lack of educational opportunities, for night and day schools are operating throughout the city. There was an excuse for the 1870 folk, but there is positively no excuse for the nineteen-twenty-niners. I was criticised by a large number of our group for playing the "Hoodoo" character in the picture. I must confess that I was surprised when the director asked me to take the part. for I knew it was a heavy role and I didn't feel equal to it... The part was written for Mme. Sul-Te-Wan, but they could not come to financial terms. They had two white artists come out, make up, and try out for the part, but the director was not satisfied with the work. In silent drama, you can be coached while doing your part, but in movietone not a sound can be uttered during your performance; it is your own job and the director leaves it entirely up to you to please the microphone. It isn't nearly so much the director, as the microphane and camera that you are to please. I had only five minutes of the part before time to "shoot." I knew nothing of the doings of a hoodoo woman, had never seen one, but after the director gave me his idea of how it should be done I worked hard to lose my own individuality in the impresonation of that character. As to how well Iidid the part, I shall leave to you who have seen the picture to judge. Being ashamed of superstition does not help much, but the idea is to free our mind and brains of it, by the way of knowledge, and when we really get far enough away from those things it will not be humiliating to have them brought before us, because we will be so far removed from them that they will appeal to us only as a fable. To be candid, should we be privileged to see a picture of our group of 1870 and 1929 alongside each other. I fear we would be most ashamed of some of the scenes of 1929, than some of those of 1870. There are people of both groups today just as superstitions as those of 1870. There are some virtues of 1870 and even farther back which we should hold on to today—for instance, that womanly modesty and inconvenience which characterized the girls and women of that day. Despise not the days that brought us a Frederick Douglass, a Booker T. Washington, a Sojourner Truth; for they are characters who made for us a place in American history that time cannot erase. We have made wonderful progress, but we can't stop for applause. We must keep moving. Let's practice being true to ourselves and to our fellowman. Stop measuring out friendship by the amount of service one renders us. Stop tying each other's hands, but give each and every one the right of free speech. Stop branding one as an enemy if they don't see things as we see them or differ with us in opinion. Have the courage to stand for what is right, for the world appreciates a brave man or woman, but no one likes a coward. Let us stop asking God and others to do the things for us which we can do for ourselves. Stop looking for sympathy; don't dream dreams and top at that, but get busy and help make our dreams come true; Stop teaching our children that they are better than other children because of our social standing, our profession or our means, rather teach them to build character and to prepare themselves for life's great work or they will be left out of the picture. It is criminal to teach a child to be selfish and snobbish; we heap coals of fire upon their heads when we do. Who suffers? The child. It goes through life with a diseased mind and a shattered career because of this terrible handicap, and who is to blame? The parent. Sometimes I think this sin for which there is no atonement — a parent sowing the seed of dislike and scorn in the mind of a child. I'd rather a millstone be tied about my neck and be cast into the depths of the sea than start my child, or any one else's out on life's rugged road with such poisonous thoughts. Teach them the beauty of God and nature, teach them love for all humanity; teach them that htiew are master of their fate, they can be what they will to be. It will be harder for the unprepared girl and boy of today. So on with the march of progress, and when the line of march is through we can say, "Step over, my brother, we are ready to share that rung with you." Every Person Who Appreciates Real Pluck Should Purchase Tobie Cotton's Book C Now On The Market "How He Ran Across the Continent to Help an Invalid Father," is the title of a book just turned off the press by the "Soaring Eagle Publishing Cp." The edition consists of 10,000 copies. The sales should be such as to warrant a second edition of a million. The story is one of amazing devotion, of filial relation, when Tobie Cotton became imbued with the thought that he could enter the cross-continent marathon and as a consequence he of aid and assistance to his invalid father, who is the head of a family of eight children, of which Tobie Jr., at 14 years is the eldest. The story goes on, he is told it is a superhuman task especially for one of his age. He insisted, he even demonstrated in trial sprints to nearby towns and parental consent was at last given. Nobody but Tobie believed he would last more than a couple of hundred miles, but they knew not the stuff of which this boy was made. For he ran every step of the way from Los Angeles to New York, and out of 200 entries, gained 26th place. He out ran and out lasted several veterans and professionals of the bunion derby trip, and this mere child won glory and renown for his race, his family, and himself. Tobie Cotton, Sr., who is a confirmed invalid, as the result of an accident, and cannot walk, and only gets around with great difficulty and pain on his crutches has written a realistic narrative on this trip and gives the inside situation on the events we have mentioned. The book consists of about 116 pages, is neatly bound and sells for 50 cents. Thus far they are selling rapidly as the Cotton family can put them out. A purchase of one of these books will be not only an appreciation of the grit and determination of young Tobie Cotton, but will be a tribute to his father as well and assist a worthy family. We sincerely believe the American people will gladly purchase these books by the hundreds of thousands and they but compliment themselves when they do so.
