VOTE FOR THE BONDS Nos.1 And 2 ON BALLOT Claims Porter Not A K. K. (BY: M. J. O.---STAFF CORRESPONDENT) VOLUME 42 Claire PORTER NOT (BY: M. J. O.---STAF Your staff correspondent who was assigned to the task of looking up candidate John C. Porter and his affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, after the investigation begs leave to report that Mr. Porter not only disclaims a membership therein, but further states that the organization when stripped of its mask, is so hideous and un-American that no red-blooded American would for a moment remain within its folds. In the very beginning of this pernicious organization, the cry went forth on every hand for the getting together of a body of citizens for the upholding of American ideals, supporting the Constitution; this catch phrase hood-winked many who came forth and on discovery of robes and masks dropped it, not unlike a hot potato. Frm what we could glean this was the situation with thousands, and tato. From what we could glean this discern who has not fallen into this trap. Our investigation of his antecedents, his life and environment, discloses that he is far from the type of citizenship which would belong to such an organization as the Klan. He is clean-cut and outspoken for tolerance and even handed justice for all. In our quest we overlooked nothing and we are setisiert beyond per adventure that John C. Porter lacks all of the elements which would qualify him as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Far from it, or otherwise he would not be one of the directors and supporters of an Orphans' Home conducted in the interests of the Colored people. We write, therefore, not because of any partisanship in favor of Mr. Porter, but solely for the purpose of doing justice to one whom we regard as a square shooter. "Let those without Sin cast the first stone," said the Savior. With this rule in force there would be few persons of the white race who could qualify upon the question in point. We further found that Mr. Porter was not in league with Bob Shuler or any of his cohorts. As a matter of fact according to both of these gentlemen, th ey have not talked together 15 minutes during all of their lives. This being so, there is really no ground to claim Shuler would dictate to Mr. Porter. Therefore, we approach election day with our eyes open and fully informed upon the situation to advise all persons, to cast their ballot unhobled of all prejudice, rancor and hate. Therefore yor correspondent verily believes that in the person of John C. Porter, that if elected Los Angeles has the promise of a clean cut Christian gentleman for Mayor, and who will admit of no dictation from Bob Shuler or any other person in the function of his office. Two Officers Hurt As Car Hits Pole In Avoiding Crash Frantically trying to avoid striking a motorist who evidently had not heard their siren, Detective Lieutenants C. S. Brodie and A. W. Kriewald of Lincoln Heights police were seriously injured today when their speeding automobile skidded into a curb, hurled across a parking and crashed into a telephone pole. The two officers were following a police ambulance. At River and Dayton streets a car driven by William A. Herring of 2710 Berkeley street suddenly darted directly in front of the call car. Water and Power For Los Angeles Realizing the importance of supporting the Municipal Power and Water systems, loyal citizens are lining up solidly in support of propositions 1 and 2, the Water and Power bonds to be voted June 4, according to civic and business leaders from every section of the city. Only adoption of the power bonds can Los Angeles prepare itself to receive the benefits of Boulder Dam development, it was pointed out by Frank E. Weymouth, former chief of the United States Reclamation Service and now chief hydraulic engineer of the department of water and power. Emphasis is placed on the fact that water and power bonds do not increase taxes. The City Charter provides that all principal and interest charges must be paid from the earnings of the Department of Water and Power and not from taxes. Investment of funds derived from the water and power bond issues will provide necessary additions and bettermen]s to the Municipal system, it was stated. "When the citizens of Los Angeles vote 'yes' on Propositions 1 and 2 at the polls June 4, they are voting to maintain wholesome business and employment conditions," said H. A. Van Norman, general manager of the Department of Water and Power. With adequate facilities to meet the growing needs of Los Angeles we will continue serving the consumers with pure wholesome water at low rates and will provide cheap electricity for home and factory. "Los Angeles now enjoys the distinction of being among the first 12 industrial cities in the United States. Cheap power has been chiefly responsible for this growth. Your Municipal Department of Water and Power serves more than 95 per cene of all industries in Los Angeles. We can not hope to continue serving cheap power unless we have the necessary facilities to work with. Approval of both Propositions 1 and 2 will enable us to go ahead without interruption.

GENTRY STRENGTH IS GROWING ELECTION TO COUNCIL PREDICTED A tremendous swing of Strength and support to James R. Gentry, noticeable throughout the Eighth District in evergrowing volume for the last week, indicates Gentry's election to City Council by a comfortable majority, according to the Gentry headquarters. Gentry's strength is increasing by leaps and bounds in every part of the district. "Gentry will go over by a majority of several thousand votes," declared Campaign Manager L. W. Barclay in a statement issued Tuesday.

Nich unto 200 persons responded to the invitations which had been sent out. As a flavor to the situation Bonelli partisans had their nominee present who delivered a stirring address in behalf of his canidacy, also Mr. Werner candidate for City Attorney. Other councilmanic and city officials were present. The Press was represented by the presence of Fred C. Williams, Hon F. M. Roberts and J. B. Bass. Quite a few short addresses were made by various persons who were called upon by Attorney Willis O. Tyler who was the master of ceremonies fr the occasion. Curtis Mosby and his famous Blue Blowers put on a scintillating program of catchy muses! numbers. Miss Carolyn Snowden favored in one of her imitable songs likewise Miss Albertine Pickens, also Mr. Skinner and Mr. Hahn with his Empeors of harmony. A sumptuous feast was spread by the well known and favorite caterress Mrs. Burdette. The management is to be congratulated for the evening's entertainment and all left feeling that the Dunbar is on its way as the premier hotel of America.

"Gentry is recognized as an able, conscientious, progressive man, and goes into the election with the backing of hundreds of property owners and business men in the Eighth District, and with the endorsements of organized labor, the railroad brotherhoods, the Municipal League, and other outstanding organizations interested in civic affairs in Los Angeles. "In asking the support of the people of the Eighth District for James R. Gentry, we are asking support for a man who is a property owner, a resident of the district for more than ten years, and a man who has for years been active in community affairs. He understands the needs and problems of his district and of the city, and has for years been active in community affairs. He understands the needs and problems of his district and of the city, and has a progressive viewpoint on public affairs. "James R. Gentry, from all indications, will be elected to City Council from this district next Tuesday, and our committee asks all friends of progressive government to go to the polls and cast their votes for him." An active campaign is being carried on by the Eighth District Citizens Committee, organized by a group of prominent property owners and business men to promote the Gentry candidacy, with A. H. Hanson as Chairman. ```markdown ``` Girls' Day At The Independent Church With Margaret Bain as leader and Dorothy Johnston, chm program, Girls Day at Independent again went over with a bing! Last Sunday interested spectators packed, the auditorium morning and evening to witness the affair. The morning program was well carried out. Miss Nancele B. Hughes, the speaker, used as her subject "The Unclean," which she handled nicely. Louise Smith really directed the mammoth Girls Chorus of 80 in some wonderful musical numbers' with Dorothee McCullough at the organ. The evening program was rendered in form of an ocean voyage which proved quite unique and interesting. At 7:30 the church was crowded beyond capacity to witness the launching of the "U. S. S. Girlogue" ship making its first round the world journey with the girls as passengers. Stops were made at China, Spain, Russia, Hawaii and Myrtle India where the natives of each port entertained the passengers. "American Night" aboard船 brought out remarkable talent among the girls. After this most splendid program the judges rendered their decision between the boys and girls, (boys day being the Sunday previous). The winner was decided by points—accession, morning and evening program, system and finance. The Girls were the winners having 93 points to the boys 63. So ended another day at Independent Church, where the young people reign supreme.

BEEKS Strong Supporter of Judges MoDill and Bush According to complaint filed in the Superior Court on May 24th, the number of which is 279273, an action was started by the Somerville Finance and Investment Company, a corporation, and J. A. Somerville, acting for himself, against Chas, Thomas Sutton, Pearl Margaret Sutton, Harry B. Kronick, Howard H. Kronick, Thomas H. Robbins, Daniel Harris, Lincoln Hotel Corporation of America, a corporation, et al, as defendants. Beside the usual legal terms stating a cause for action, among the other allegations are that the defendants obtained the Hotel by fraudulent means and go forth in detail to name the manner in which the Hotel was acquired by the defendants. Upon the filing of an answer which will be in about ten days, the date of the trial will be set and sensations are promised galore. In our next issue we will give a complete resume of the Hotel situation including the Howard suit and the version of the Kronicks in the situation. Universal Support For the Bonds Men and women prominent in all walks of life in Los Angeles have heartily and enthusiastically indorsed the $17,500,000 power bond issue to be voted upon June 4th, as propositions 1 and 2. In all endorsements emphasis is placed on the fact that the water and power bonds will not increase taxes. It is pointed out that the law says all interest and principal charges on the water and power bonds MUST be paid from the earnings of the department of water and power and NOT from taxes. The bonds are necessary to provide funds to keep pace with the industrial and business growth of Los Angeles, it was pointed out. The money will be invested in the next three years in betterments and additions to the water and electric systems. Thus large numbers of persons will be employed and the business situation in Los Angeles greatly benefited. Among the more than 200 citizens who have endorsed the water and power bonds are:: Dr. Vada J. Somerville, dentist; Mrs. Sinclaira White Murdock, violinist; Mme.

[EDITOR'S NOTE.] While we have chosen not to inject our personal views in these columns during this campaign, we wish it clearly understood that we personally have no desire to have the appearance of straddling the fence, or for any person to guess as to our position. We are therefore frank to state that we supported Wm. G. Bonelll in the primary and we have no reason in thinking any less of his capacity now and he therefore is our choice for Mayor at the polls on next Tuesday—J. B. BASS.] THE LOS ANGELES WHITE Owners Association met again Monday evening, May 27 at Rhodes Hall and Councilman Evan Lewis was the sensation of this meeting. Mr. Lewis said in part that he knew the Blacks were against him and that he did not want their votes. He said he had enough white votes to elect him and further appealed to whites present by stating that when he was elected he would work harder than ever on the proposition of race segregation. "I will show these Blacks that we CAN keep them out. I knew Central avenue thirty years ago when it was all white and property in that section then was worth much more than it is now." "Property on Broadway now," further stated Mr. Lewis. "is worth from $1500 to $2000 a front foot and on Central avenue about $150 a front foot." Mr. Lewis' contention was that the presence of Blacks on Broadway would mean the reduction of property rates on a par with Central avenue. In spite of the fact that Mr. Lewis declared that he did not want the Negro votes, he did not hesitate to wage war against his opponent J. R. Gentry, who, he claimed, was circulating propaganda against him. We suggest that all Negroes living in the Furlong Tract district see to it that Mr. Lewis is not burdened with a single Negro vote. Not only refuse to vote for him yourself, but get all busy informing Negroes why they should not vote for Mr. Lewis as he is telling members of the White Owners. Association why they should segregate Negroes. . . . . . OTHER BUSINESS discussed in the White Owners Association last Monday evening was the report of district workers who brought in reports to the effect that of the 231 streets to be worked by them with petitions to be signed by white owners, only fifteen had been successfully filled. The workers claimed that in streets where Blacks owned property whites signed readily, but in other cases they were not bothered. It was suggested that Negroes be sent out as canvassers because they could do it more successfully than whites and that the Association would have no trouble getting them at $10.00 per day. Evidently the poor whites composing the personnel of this organization have no faith in the Negro's fidelity to himself and his group. --- IN BRAZEN HEADLINES on the front page of Wednesday evening Herald there appeared a short story telling how 500 men stormed Tennessee jail and lynched Joe Boxley, 19 year old Negro youth of Alamo. Boxley was, of course, accused of the fixed crime with which all Negroes are accused when there is to be a lynching festival. They have said, on with the lynching. In the organized war against crime in the country it is believed that President Hoover will speak out against the pernicious practice of lynching and burning humans. WHEN WE are refused proper courtesies in our large and most pretentious down-town stores, it is but the handwriting on the wall of time calling attention to the fact that it is time for us to do something for ourselves. The white man is tired making our hats, shoes and dresses. Can't we make some for ourselves? THE PRESENCE of Fred Frank, wining and dining at the political opening of the Dunbar Hotel, Tuesday evening, was about as obnoxious to some as is the presence of Bob Shuler "hobnobbing" over the radio for Porter. At least there was one person present who had not forgotten that it was this gentleman who managed to segregate the six Negroes present at the banquet of the New City Hall opening. Mr. Frank was not segregated at the Dunbar, but had a high seat at the table close to one of the gentlemen he was responsible for segregating at the Biltmore. - Two Track Records Fall; Colored Boy Sets 95 In 100 Yd. Dash The Black Sport World By ART HAMILTON Ed Tolan Shares Record Honors with Dick Rockaway at Big Ten Meet. CENTURY DASH AND LOW HURDLES MARKS FALL It's all history now. in the annals of inter collegiate track and field competition, as well as the A. A. U, will appear under date of May 25, 1929, two new world's records. The names associated with these new records are Edward Tolan, who broke the 100-yd. dash record when he romped the century in the accepted time of 9.5 for a new record, and Dick Rocksaway, who galloped the 220-yd. low hurdles in the record time of 22.8. Ed Tolan is the bespectacled lad who runs under the colors of the University of Michigan. He is a colored lad. Dick Rocksaway, is the stellar hurdler who carried the colors of Ohio state to another record. During this same meet, which was held under the auspices of the Western Conference, at the Northwestern U. Stadium, another world's record was tied. George Simpson, another Ohion Stater, equalled the world's record in the 220-yd. dash, held by Roland Locke, of the University of Nebraska, when he ran the distance in 20.6. Illinois U. won the meet. Knute K. Rockeine, famed coach of Notre Dame U. one of the judges stated the opinion that the records would stand. NEW YORK FIGHTER BIG SENSATION New York, May 26.—Leo Williams Harlem's latest contribution to the light-heavyweight division, created a sensation when he knocked out Nando Tassi of Italy in the first round of what was to have been the main bout of six rounds at the Broadway Arena. The Harlem boxer, generally known as "one-punch Leo," turned the tables on his Italian opponent, who scored a knockout over the New Yorker at Ebbets Field last Summer. Tassi started the round by boxing at long range and managed to jar Williams several times with a hard left to the face. The Italian also performed well in close, tipping up Williams in the inigating. Suddenly after two minutes and six seconds of the opening session, Williams felted Tassi into a crouch and sent through a lightning-like right to the foreigner's law. Tassi collapsed and the crowd of 2500 rose as one man to watch Referee Jack O'Sullivan count ten over the fallen boxer. Tassi weighted 174 pounds and Williams 172. BY: JEFF BROWN It Madison of Stanford U. had used a pair of wooden blocks to win the high jump at 6 ft. 1 1/4 inches, in the California Inter - Collegiate Track Meet at the Colleum last Saturday, he would have been disqualified as were many of his teammates and then Herman Hill of U. S. C. would have tied with Gill and Jecklevitch for second place. As it was this trio tied for second at 6 ft.14 in. This is the best leap Hill has made in him as the leading high jumper out at the Trojan institution. Finishing a few inches behind Smith of Stanford, Bert Ritchie, U. S. C. high hurdler, placed fourth in the 120-yd. "sticks." But when all was said and done, Edmonds, the winner and Smith were both disqualified because at the start of the race they rested their fingers on a "chunk" of wood. Ritchie was, therefore, given second place which incidentally won for him the coveted Varsity track emblem of U. S. C. The meet ended with a "Santy Claus" gift to U. S. C., which enabled the Trojans to win with 72 points; Stanford was permitted to keep 34 1-2 California grabbed 34, and U. C. L. A. squeezed in for 8 1-2 digits.

During my service on this great Western paper, I have at all times, attempted to follow its policies of fairness and fearlessness, race pride and race fault correction, I have had the pleasure of representing it at many noble events, the greatest being as the only representative of a colored newspaper on the press ship at Wrigley's historical channel swim.

In Seventh PORTLAND, Ore., (Special to California Eagle) — George Dixon, the "Colored Cyclone" sent Willie Feldman, the flashy Jewish middleweight from the Bronx, on a long visit to the canvas in the seventh round of a scheduled ten round go at the Auditorium her last. The day night. The fight was a sensation from the start. Dixon opened what a savage attack and had Feldman down for a count of three in the first round. Feldman fought like a veteran, but was unable to withstand that flock of stiff lefts, punctuated with a few well timed staggering rights. The fight was a great "come back" for Dixon and was one of the most sensational shows ever staged in Portland. Carolynne Snowden Still Main Attraction at the Apex Club Carolynne Snowden must indeed possess that inexplainable "IT" or 'Personality Plus'. Whether you like her or not, one cannot deny the fact that she has appeal. This is apparent, when one listens in on a group discussing the relative merits of the various performers at the Apex Club. They invariably come back to our own Carolynne, after a long-winded praise of the work of who's it and so-and-so, to a but-'Carolynne has', etc. It has been argued that Miss Snowden has one of the most beautiful bodies, possessed by male or female. We don't doubt that. She has a wonderfully formed body. This week's bill at the Apex staged by Mr. Clarence Muse has the Apex Club's principals appearing in some very clever roles. The Three Black Aces, a former Eastern act, was a good seller. The opening number was the grandest and most charming set seen in Nite Clubs, in the West. The entire cast with the chorus, in plantation attire, sang 'Old Man River.' Little Charlie Witty really tops the bill in his interpretation of Bejangles Robinson's star-trap taps. Specially made steps enable him to get away amid thunderous applause. Thurston Briggs, that eminent master of pantomime, as usual, anywhere cast, scored heavily. The other principals who were outstanding in a jam-up show were: Ivy Anderson, Allegretta Anderson, Sue Hoy and Luther Claybourne. The peppery chorus was the dizziest thing assembled here.

The usual Rosebud popular admission will prevail. "HARLEM" DEBACLE CAUSES REGRET Although there appear to have been sufficient cause for the flareup which resulted in the disruption of the New York "Harlem" company, there is a general disposition to regret that the dobacle had to occur. Even those persons who admit that the colored performer is poorly paid are forced to acknowledge that, in most cases, it is a question of working for little or loa-fing for nothing. Each time that there is a rumor of a new colored show, there are hundreds of applicants for work. Trade publications and critics in New York have lifted up the hammer against, Negro productions on Broadway. Their chief complaint, expressed about the last two plays to reach the white lights, "Messin' Around" and "Pansy" is that they are either dumb or dull. They protest that "Pansy" is so bed it should not have been allowed to see the light of day. Much of what they say is probably true, but it can be remembered that a good many colored shows have recently reached Broadway and that the more colored performers there are on the Big street, the less room there is left for the white performer. Edward Atkinson, Jr., Stars in Catholic High School Meet Edward Atkinson, Jr., who attends the prep dept. of Loyola College show- ed his track talents when he won the 160-yd. dash at a meet held by several Catholic prep schools. In doing so, Young Atkinson showed great promise. In addition, Eddie is a member of the football squad and a very bright scholar.

Merged College Designated as Dillard University New Orleans, Lc., May 28.—The merger of Straight College, New Orleans University, and the Flint-Goodrich Hospital and Training School into a huge educational night as a result of a two-day conference between representatives of the American Missionary Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church and authorities of the local institutions.

Reid Tear and laughter vied with each other last week at the Lincoln Theatre, when "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse," was portrayed by the Famous Lafayette Players. Laura Bowman as Mrs. Saunders, the old mother with two lovable sons, one married to a selfish cruel, self-esteemed, self-centered wife, who turns her son against her, placed herself in the class of actresses who are without a peer. Mother love—how unselfish, how appealing, how infinite, how sublime, how sacrificing; she did it all in her fine, wonderful acting. How she pulled on our heartstrings. You surely had a pretty hard heart if you did not shed some tears or blow your nose. All the rest of the actors, as usual were up to par, but mention must be made of Miss Cleo Desmond, who acted the part of Marie Saunders, the selfish, cruel wife. She acted so well and so real, that hisses were plainly heard. Also mention must be made of Miss Evelyn Preer, the star, who always so beautifully stays in the background d.

Pluribus Unum Club, whose members are well-known to our readers, are to entertain guests with a formal ball, June 20th. Everyone is looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to this event, as these young ladies make wonderful hostesses. Members of the Business Girls Club of the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., are diligently rehearsing their play which is to be produced soon. Swimming classes at the Y. M. C. A., Thursday and Saturday for the "weaker" sex seem to be going great. Bigger "n better girls" the motto; not exactly "bigger," but healthier and more robust girls. This is the age of "everyone for himself" and it behooves each girl to be able to take care of herself. Judging from the grand rushes and football tactics used when street cars are crowded by the aforesaid male sex, she certainly needs it. Mr. and Mrs. D. A.

Rufus has to stand a lot of ragging over at the "U", but still he burns the midnight oil writing poetry dedicated to a lady's eyes. --- What with elections, visiting Shrivers and the "scuffle" at the Savoy Ballroom and vicinity over two pretty Mexican girls, this week has been one hectic one.

Jack says that the bump on the side of his head isn't an over grown ear; just someone thought he was a slice of ham, and cut him. Of course mistakes will happen. We would advise, both Elliot and Jack to leave "hot tomales" out in future. What's funnier than middle-aged decidedly robust delegates, trying to look young and devilish, regular he men?

Commander, Officials and Members of E. L. Baker Camp, No. 1, Department of California—Los Angeles, California, and friends here assembled. To me it is good to be here on this the 26th day of May and to call your attention to the words of our Lesson for this hour. It is my prayer that God may graciously use me this day and in this service to his name's honor and glory. In Language of the great Apostle Paul to the Galatians brethren, I say to you as Veterans of the American and Spanish War and Conrades, "God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ." With this I am calling your attention to my subject for this hour. "A CHANGE OF WARWEAPONS" There is no man in the world that I respect more today than the Soldiers of the American Government, their wives, widows and orphans. I do not think too much can be done for them or too many nice things be said about them. If there be any one group of citizens above another to whom we owe a lasting debt of gratitude it is to the men that have faced the enemy, shot and shell, on the Battle Fields of the world. May God bless, and keep each of you, is my prayer. It is my duty as a Minister of the Lord Jesus Christ to bring again the torch of truth to light the lives of men, to touch their eyes that visions may again appear, of God's great presence shining around them here. To life the vell of law that hides God's face and show that earth is still a holy place, that every work of man beneath the sun, by wisdom counseled and in life begun. All work whose purpose makes for human weal. By hands that toil or help or heal. That shapes the fabric that breaks the cold, is done by men who need must work with God. And this is my task. Just before I turn directly to the words of my subject for this hour let me say, "All men need God whether on the battlefield, or in the quiet daily life and especially when we come to die. Whether it be amid the roar of shell or shot, or in the mansion surrounded by loving ones and administered to with tender hands. "We Need God." PULLING DOWN THE STRONG-HOLDS The Evangelist was correct when he called sin the strongholds and if you think sin is weak you are very badly mistaken. Sin is strong. Sin is stubborn. Sin is wicked. And at times it can only be dislodged by the cruel head of war. I take the position that there are some Sins that you cannot pray out of your road, you must kick it out, knock it out, and at times shoot it out, both in the Nation and in the Church. But let me call your attention to just a few of the great Battles in which our Group has been called upon to help dislodge sin or the enemy in the life of our great Republic. It was in the year of Our Lord 1778 when this mighty Nation was called upon to decide between British Oppression and American Independence, while we were yet slaves and under hard task masters. Notwithstanding all this the fire of patriotism burned on the alters of our hearts and we cried "Here am I send Me." And Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first to shed his blood on State street in Boston that the white American might enjoy liberty forever. Though his race remained in slavery, But hear me Comrades, his blood like the blood of righteous Abel is still crying from the ground today for justice and fair play to the Negro. And, it will come, in spite of the prejudice of men of Nations. God yet lives and right will get a hearing some time, somewhere. And I would have you think with me now about New Orleans, La., in the year of Our Lord, 1814 when the enemy was again to be dislodged from his stronghold. They called and we answered, "We are coming Uncle Sam from the cane breaks, from the swamps and from the cotton fields, half fed and poorly clad, but we are coming and let General Andrew Jackson tell the story of our Loyal hearts and our strong arm that did pull down the strongholds of the wicked. My friends we have much to be proud of as American Citizens. We are not cowards, we are not lazy, we are not shiftless, we are not rapists as others would make believe that we are. But we are men, Soldiers, Statesmen, Poets, Inventors and Christian gentlemen if you doubt this turn to the records with me if you please. When the long and memorable struggle came between the states, when we know that victory of the one meant freedom, and defeat of the other continued slavery with a full knowledge of it all, and when the suggestion and temptation to burn the homes and massacre the wives and children of the absent Master and soldier on the battlefield that were fighting to keep him enslaved presented itself, our loyal hearts would not let us yield, but stood still as it were and listened and we heard a voice coming down from God out of heaven, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. I will fight your Battles and deliver you from the oppressor and from the ungodly. As I was with Moses so will I be with you, and as I delivered the Children of Israel from their taskmaster so will I deliver you. But let me follow him a step further if you please. In 1863 when the cause of the Union seemed to quiver in the balances, and there was doubt and distrust on all sides, the Government called the Negro and again he answered from the cotton fields of the Virginias and Carolinas and from Georgia, and from the Swamps of Mississippi, and from the can breaks and rice fields, of Louisiana. They answered with a song, "We are coming Uncle, four hundred thousand strong. "In the Beauty of the lily Christ was born across the sea With a beauty in his bosom That transfigured you and me As he died to make men happy, We will die to make men free His truth goes marching on. Glory, Glory, Hall-le-lah. And if you would know about the valor displayed at Fort Wagner, Fort Pillow, and Fort Hudson, call back the sleeping heroes of the mighty battle and let them tell you how they fell with their face toward the enemy and baptised the soil with their own heart's blood that the stronghold of the enemy might be overthrown and pull down even the institution of Slavery that had gripped the hearts and minds of the American people for more than two centuries. But it could not be overthrown without the strong arm of the Black American that himself was a slave and fighting as it were for the freedom of his Wife and Children, for which he had prayed. It was in 1898 when the honor of the Republic was threatened by foreign foe when a wall of anguish and the oppressed from the distant Isle reached our ears, we find the Negro forgetting his own wrenes, forgetting the Law and Customs that discriminated against him in his own country, and like a Job of Old, rose up above his selfishness and out of his lower self into his higher self and shouted so loud until listening worlds could hear it. "THOUGH YOU SLAY ME YET WILL I SERVE THEE" And if you would know how he deported himself in action on the field at Santiago De Cuba, call back if you would the Lamented Shafter, Roosevelt and Wheeler and let them tell us how the Negro faced Death and lay down his life in the defense of honor and humanity. And when you have forgotten the full story of the heroic conduct of the Negro in the Spanish American War, heard it as it were from the lips of Northern Soldiers, Southern Soldiers and ex-Master then make your own decision as to his fitness as an American citizen. LAST BUT NOT LEAST was the CALL TO THE GREAT WORLD'S WAR: And the American Negro was again weighed in the balances of Patriotism, Loyalty and devotion not for his country in particular but the world at large. Discriminated against at home and misunderstood aboard, but when placed in the World's balances he was not found wanting, in devotion. He was not found wanting in bravery. He was not found wanting in loyalty, or in any of the qualities that go to make up a soldier or patriot. If you doubt this let the records speak for themselves. MY PROPHECY IS: That God is going to elect or cause or be elected a man as President of this Great American Nation some day like unto Abasuerus in the days of praying Mordical at the king's gate, who will call for the records of the Rece groups of America, and they will read from the record of 1776 that Christus Attucks was the first to give his life that white America might forever be free though he himself was a black man and a slave. And they will read how in 1814 at New Orleans we made the supreme sacrifice for the Flag of this country. And they will read of our contribution to the war in 1863 at Fort Pillow, Fort Wagner and Port Hudson, and from the records of the American and Spanish War that you represent, they will read of Santiago De Cuba of El Caney and of the famous charge at San Juan Hill. They will read of how the Black 9th and 10th, saved the day and the life of the late Theodore Roosevelt. Last but not least to date they will read into the records our deeds of Valor and courage on the World's Battle fields of Europe for the cause of hu- manity and Democracy, and then the President will ask what has been done for this people and what is their reward? And the secretary will answer, "Discrimination, Jim-Crowed, Legislated against, Lynched and burned at the stake alive." And then he will answer: "It shall not any more be done to the people that the President delights to honor." OUR WEAPONS IN THESE WARS In 1776 the weapons of our warfare were the Musket, Pistol, Bayonet, Sabers, Swords, Canons, etc., all of which were to destroy life and property. In 1812 the weapons of our warfare were very much the same on land and sea. In 1861 the weapons of our warfare were the muskets, pistols, rifles, barbshot for canon, chain-shot, grape-shot, sabers and pistols and they were used to destroy life and property on land and sea. In 1898 our weapons of warfare were largely the same as in 1865, at the close of the war between the states. In the World's War there had been a wonderful advancement in our weapons of war. We had the high-powered rifle that would shoot from 50 to 70 miles, and we had our great canons, our submarine ships, we had our airships, poison gas, pistols, sabers, grenades, trench knives and liquid fire, etc. But my dears, I rejoice with you that these ware are over and I hope they will not be any more. I hope and pray that the time is here that the Nations will not learn war any more such as we have had in the past. But there is another war on in which there is no discharge. BUT WE HAVE CHANGED WEAPONS, THANK GOD: They are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of the stronghold. You will find them and the purpose for which they are used in the 6th (Chapter of Paul's letter to EPHESIANS beginning with the 14th verse, the first order is: "Stand, therefore, having your loins girded about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness." (E. X. P.) 2nd—Have you feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. 3rd—Above all take the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the widened. 4th—And be sure to take the helmet of Salvation. 5th—The sword of the spirit which is the word of God. Last—Praying always with all application in the Spirit and watching thee unto with all perseverance and surplicaction for all saints. But finally my beloved. Officials members and friends; when the ebb and flow of human hopes have never ceased; when the terrestrial dor of opportunity to reach the acme of noble endeavors, has been finally closed; when the silver fringe of hopefulcipitation has been merged into the golden sun of gladsome realization; when the mist which weils the hiltop of unselfish endeavor has been gentled by the anticipation of fertility's morn into a rainbow of purpose fulfilled; when the wheel of human activities no longer revolve; when the shuttle of patient toil is heard no more; when the fire of so sacrifice no longer tries as gold is fired by the fire. The hearts that have en coenocrated on the altar for man's uplift and redemption; when the din of sentiment, strife and battle gives way to songs of everlasting joy, when the grand army of the world's burden bearers are summoned by the recording angel to answer to rol call beneath the burning rages of the throne of him who gave his son to die for sinners, and to faithful are coming in like doves their windows, I hope to meet you per a sinner saved by the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ as if you do not meet me the first time and that you are there do not give me out, for I will be there, and anywhere in the realms of eternity, one day you will meet me there.

Wesley Chapel Phillips Temple Contest Rally The Rally Contest between Wesley Chapel and Phillips Temple began on Sunday flight with a Union Service between the two churches. Rev. A. P. Shaw was the preacher of the occasion and the Chair of Phillips Temple assisted by the Gospel Choir of Wesley led the singing. Pastor Shaw's sermon was one calculated to stir both Churches to unprecedented activity. Pastor Underwood and his Choir will have charge of the Booster Services at Wesley to be held Thursday night, June 13. Come and catch the inspiration of these great Union Services. church organizations, a gain of one church over the 1916 figure, but an increase of nearly 3,000 members. This gain of over 21% of colored membership is compared with a gain of 8 percent of the general membership which in 1916 was $89,226 compared with $81,696 in 1926. The membership of the Congregational Churches comprises those persons who have been received with the local churches by vote of the members. This growth of 2,791 members was due to the increased membership in Massachusetts, New York, District of Columbia, and North Carolina; the membership in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina showing a considerable decrease.

M. E. Church. It was the result of a challenge made recently by Dr. R. W. Underwood, pastor of Phillips Temple to the congregation and Pastor of Wesley on the occasion of the C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Night during the Forty-first Anniversary Services recently held at Wesley. Pastor Shaw and his people immediately took up the challenge. Contest Committees have been appointed in each church, the period during which the rally is to last had been set, June 1 to July 16, and each Church is now mobilizing its forces for one of the fiercest and yet friendly battles in the history of our city. This Sunday night, the Opening guns of battle will be fired. Pastor Shaw and people will abandon their evening services and pitch tents in a Union Service in the very stronghold of the enemy. Phillips Temple Choir assisted by Wesley's Fire. Department will lead the singing. Pastor Shaw will preach and a general friend light is expected. Come and see. Pastor Shaw makes the following statement: "The Challenge to enter this financial drive was issued by Pastor Underwood in my Church. I felt I would be a coward if I did not accept it. I at once consulted with my Official Board concerning the matter and it heartily agreed that no such challenge should be made in our Church and not be accepted. I realize that we are pitted against one of the pluckiest group of people to be found anywhere, and yet if we are forced to fight we may die but we will face the enemy in a manly manner. My people and I must win." PASTOR UNDERWOOD'S STATE- MENT OF CHALLENGE My Choir and I were invited over to Wesley M. E. Church to participate in its 41st Anniversary; this we did, my choir did the singing for the night. I was congratulating Wesley and pastor for their wonderful achievement, etc., whereas I spoke of my church and members fine success in their last undertaking, which was a three-weeks' contest between the men and women, netting $1116. I said, I had a working set of people, and would challenge any church in town with them. The thought, however, came out of me spontaneously, but after Pastor Show took me up on it, remembering I had opened my mouth and "I could not go back." I took the matter before my Official Board and the Board immediately accepted the proposition—Hence the Contest. It is not numbers that count, but dollars. ELECT— S. DEVIER ELY Councilman 5th Dist.

W. D. Carter of Friendship Baptist Church and chairman af the Investigoting committee. THE SWIMMING POOL In some way the order went in effect at John Muir Junior High school and also at President High School and Junior College prohibiting the colored boys and girls swimming in the pool with the white students. We, Dr. Moor, Lewis, Dickerson, Jordan and myself went direct to the principal of John Muir and investigated him and found that that was such an order there. The reason was not on account of bad conduct of the colored students had asked for segregation as the white students. Their excuse was that they felt the order was for the best interests of all concerned, inasmuch as a minority of the white students had osked for segregation. Of course, the principal stated that the order was not of his making. We next went to the superintendent of city schools, a very pleasant, agreeable man. He disclaimed any knowledge of the matter, stating that no such order had gone from his office and he preferred that we make no outspoken statement that might cause a dissention to arise. He then referred us to the athletic instructors, who were in charge of the physical science department. He expressed himself of the opinion that the order was for the best interest of all concerned. We, the committee, then went to the Board of Education. They had taken no action whatsoever in the matter and expressed the opinion that if we would take the matter to a test, they would run out all the water in the various pools and there would be swimming for no one. After all, we found out that it might be the best for us to let the matter rest there. We then went to our lawyers, Attys, Jones and Phillips, and asked them to investigate each and every member of the Board of Education. They reported that all the members were against segregation and all had promised to lend their support to our cause. So, the autome of the situation was that the students would go on to their various swimming classes as before. Ten Reasons Why You Should Elect Perry Thomas Municipal Judge, Division 7 M. 1.

I don't think they fell there would be so much opposition and truly believe the order would have held if we had not taken hold of it in time. There is among certain whites the hope of segregation of schools, which we were assured would never be. The A. M. E. Church held their May rally banquet Monday evening, May 27, honoring Bishop H. B.

A RECC Golden Sta LABOR ENDORSES JUDGE McDILL LABOR ENDORSES JUDGE McDILL With an intensive speaking campaign which is taking him into every section of the city and before from four to five groups of voters daily, Judge William G.

Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department has requested the voters to give their approval to Proposition No. 3 on the June 4 ballot. This proposition, said Chief Scott, is merely a plan of ironing out some of the wrinkles that have developed since the adoption of the two platoon ordinance approximately fifteen years ago. Its approval will not modify the present workings of the department in any sense, but will merely ligate the very necessary work now being done by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Arson Investigation and other activities that were not contemplated at the time the original ordinance was drafted. "Because of the fact that there is no opposition to this Amendment," said Chief Scott, no intensive campaign will be waged to bring about the adoption. We feel that we have the confidence of the public and therefore a brief statement to the effect that its approval by the voters will not modify the present fire department operations should suffice." The Federated Voters agree and recommend the same by R. G. LaMar, Secretary. Mme. C. J. Walker Agents Honor Atty. F. B. Ransom The visit of Atty. Ransom, manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., was indeed a rare treat to the agents and all of Los Angeles as well as along the coast. Our faithful national representative, Mrs. Alice C. Burnette had an interesting program arranged on his arrival. He delivered two inspiring messages, St. Paul Baptist Church, May 14—"The Advancing Neerh." May 15—New Hope Baptist Church, "The Negro Facing a New Day." Those who sat under the sound of his voice went away with food for hindrance. On Tuesday night, May 14 more than twenty-five Walker agents entertained their manager with a midnight banquet at Burdette's private dining room, Dunbar Hotel, there he had a conference with the agents and show owners, it was indeed a beautiful affair. In connection with the program of May 15 was the climax featuring Juvenita Allen Lyric Soprano, and fashion exhibit. New Hope was on elaborate display for the occasion. The shop owners were creators of individual hair styles portraying the modes of 1929. This was followed by a popularity contest featuring Mrs. Mamie Wilson, and Miss Catherine G. Allen, proceeds for benefit of New Hope Baptist Church. As a remembrance the agents presented Mrs. Alice C. Burnette a gold necklace and a silver flower bowl to Mrs. Catherine G. Allen for her past services as president of the Walker Club, which was reorganized into the National Beauty Culturist Renewel Association Union 23 by Mrs. A. C. Burnette, National representative. The charming balloon dance given Tuesday, May 21st, at the Sofoumene Truth Home by a group of young women of the Phys-Art-Lit-Mor Club was highly successful. A beautiful boudoir pillow was given to the lady who danced lonely with her balloon intact. A delightful evening was enjoyed by all, and the many friends of this group are looking forward to their next affair. Mrs. S. L. Eggleston, D. G. M. N.

Mania 391 MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. Phonn: WEstmore 2060 Sermon By Bishop C. P Jones, D. D. CARRY ON JOHN H. BURKE "And the Lord said unto Moses, wherefore cried thou unto me?" Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward." Ex.14:15. The children of Israel had been delivered from Egypt. Pharoh having endured the ten plagues, the last one dealing death to the first-born in every house, thrust them out and begged them to go. Now like many another fool, he regretted having done this sensible thing, and set about getting them back. How blind is human power and oppression. How blind the love of money and how selfish and thoughtless and ungodly is human prejudice. Men get drunk on power and oppress their fellows, urged on by a cruel, relentless pride. Divine protest follows divine protest; trouble comes after trouble; affliction after affliction befalls them, but they are too blind to see, too deaf to hear, too stupid of heart and proud of brain to perceive. Heaven's sword flashes but they do not see its glittering menace; an angry God thunders, but they hear not the warning voice. The Pursuing Fool Pharocah gathered his Egyptian army, the finest trained army in the world, with his six hundred chariots and his picked and trained cavalry, and set out after defenseless Israel, an army depressed and untrained, unorganized slaves, who were following a religious leader to freedom and glory. Here is a picture of the ages. Here is power and pride trying itself because it has a temporary advantage. When Pharoah's army overtook Israel they were encamped in the grid desert of uninhabited Egypt, on the banks of tehR aetshnuiSdyeh,dm-room banks of the Red Sea, shut in between Migdol and the Sea. Across the sea, which at this point was a number of miles wide was Arabia in which stood Mount Sinai where Moses met the angel of God in the bush that burned and was not consumed, and where, in the purpose of God, Israel was to receive the law. Here where hot rock and blistering sand and naked unfriendly landscape offered no shelter or solace and where the solenum surge of the sea in the hot Arabian sun spoke only of doom, stood defensely men, women and children, and lot upon the horizon appears in army, the formidable army of Pharoah with shining shield and swinging sword and brilliant axe glinting in the unfriendly gleam of a pitiless sun. Helmet and habergeon, bow and arrow, clanking charlot and heavy artillery; fierce footmen, crashing cavalry — Pharoah the haughty monarch, with prince priest and proletariat—Egypt's flower and power. What could the entebled slaves do, but cower and cry? and cry they did, hostily and almost hopelessly, but cry they did. And so did Moses. What else could he do? Thea God saw it all, as He sees all today, and He heard and answered. His answer was peculiar, wonderful, characteristic. "Why do you stand crying to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. Go forward. Now listen at that. The Red Sea rathoms deep and miles wide lying at their feet, defying any attempt to make another step in advance. Yet there is God's command, go forward. Surely God does at times command the impossible. Holiness, humility healing—impossibilities to the natural man. Rise, take up thy bed and walk; says Jesus to the paralytic of 38 years affliction. How could he? Thirty-eight years of offlicted inactivity had dried up his limbs. How could he rise up and carry his bed? But God provided the power, and He always does. No fear about that when He says Go forward. He's going to make the way. He's going to make a path, a dry one, a good one, and a safe one. Do you believe that? Well, you say "I have never seen it done." Not literally, maybe. But there are things more important to us than mere bodies of water. Then we may pass over in boats or get around. Only once was God ever known to sweep the dry path in the sea. But again and again has he "rolled the sea away" in the everyday experience of our lives. Can you dispute it? By Miracle He is year, a miracle working God. And we are miracle working people, Righteousness, true, believing consistent, truth-loving, truth-speaking God-loving, neighbor-helping, thoughtful cross-bearing religion is a miracle. It is a thing divine. Holiness of life, sin-hating, heavenly mindfulness, is a morale. Purity of heart and the successful fight for cleanness of life that proceeds therefrom are miracles. Just as much are those things miracles is the opening of the Red Sea. Go forward—it's God's voice to you. The answers, too, that come to prayer in the ordering of the affairs of life are miracles. Go forward! Don't give up. The sea will be opened in the morning. Go forward. Why? Because God the covenant making God is with you. He'll make a way. He will go be fore you and set before you an open door that no man can shut. He is the God of heaven and earth. He made the sea. All natural laws are understood by Him, and what you understand, you can make help you. God's Undefeatable Purpose It is God's great purpose to overthrow pride and promote faith and piety; to defeat human power and exalt the divine. It is He who said that the meek shall inherit the earth and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Ps. 39. It is His purpose that in Christ, the Seed of Abraham, that ALL THE NATIONS of the earth shall be blessed. Do not then fear earth's power of Bread shall be given you. You dwell in the land and you shall be fed and eternal glory shall be yours. Go forward. All heaven works for the man of faith. Chilling, roaring winds, menacing waters, lowering clouds, pitless, brazen sky, powers discovered and undiscovered, all belong in the inventory of your possessions and are your servants, your friends, your helpers. Go forward. You have a destiny eternal, glory is your future inheritance. It is God's purpose and can not be defeated. Believe in God your Father and Jesus you Savior, and forward go. Amen.

Her training and experience places her among the most accomplished in this field. We look to this day with high hopes. DEATH TAKES MRS JULIUS ROSENWALD DEATH TAKES MRS JULIUS ROSENWALD (By A. N. P.) Chicago, May 28.—Death claimed Mrs. Augusta Nusbaum Rosenwald, wife of Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, at her home, 4901 Ellise Avenue, Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Rosenwald has been seriously ill for several months and during the last days of illness was in a critical state. Mr. Rosenwald and three of the five children were at her bedside when she passed away. The death of Mrs. Rosenwald removes one of the staunchest friends and benefactors of the Negro race, particularly the girls and young women of the race. It is a well-known fact that she played an important part in the directing of the philanthropies of her husband, who has done so much SNAP IN PASADENA PROPERTY N. E.

Her interest in the Negro race, however, was not confined to directing Mr. Rosenwald in his effects to help the group, but extended to philanthropies of her own. She was especially interested in the women's department of Tuskegee Institute, of which Mr. Rosenwald is a Trustee and of the "Children's House," the model school conducted at Tuskegee for the children of the community. Each year Mrs. Rosenwald accompanied her husband to Tuskegee to attend the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees and since the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the annual observance of Founder's Day. On these trips she took on enthusiastic interest in the work conducted for the girls including the vocational and physical training. Her demonstrations in housekeeping and thrift, through the making over of garments and transforming useless articles into usable articles are legendary at Tuskegee and were earlier looked forward to by the girls each year. Her interest in the children of the community rivalled that of her interest in the training of the adults. She was a great favorite of the children who always greeted her and her party upon arrival and consumed a large portion of her time. Locally Mrs. Rosenwald has been a benefactor of the children of the group, through the establishment of a fund to provide day nurseries for Negro children and her interest in the Girl Scout movement. Mr. Rosenwald has received messages of condolence from Negroes throughout the country including the presidents of various schools and colleges that have been benefitted by his philanthropies and leaders who are grateful for the interest and that of his late wife in the advancement of the Negro race. Our Hall of Luxury BY: ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D. (For the Associated Negro Press) In the Baltimore Health News, Anne Towse, under the above head, writes as follows: "Be healthy and you will be luxurious. Health buys what wealth cannot even bargain for. All the riches of a Croesus are of no avail if physically and mentally you cannot enjoy the pleasures and material things which money buys. To accumulate a fortune of health is within the possibilities of everyone of us. True, we may not be able to buy a seat on the Stock Exchange, but we shall have the strength to toss a shovel of snow over our shoulder, plant and weed our own gardens, follow the mountain trail that brings us into new worlds of freedom and enjoyment—in a word, "eat, drink, and be merry," sanely, and tomorrow we shall live, migribly. This state of luxury is easily obtained by right living. Babies today are growing up stronger and we are losing fewer of them than in previous generations, because they are being scientifically reared. Their mothers are receiving medical care and supervision before the babies come, so they are born into the world with a Heritage that they can build upon profitably. For us who have already reached adulthood, it is not difficult to maintain this state of luxury if we live Friday, May 31, 1929 sensibly and sanely by practicing daily the rules of health. The family physician is our shrewdest and most reliable broker, for by a periodic examination, he can quickly tell if our health stocks are going up or going down. If stocks are going down he has recommendations to restore them to normalcy. If we have made financial investments we avidly watch the stock pages of the daily record as conscientiously? Do we check up on our weight, the cause of poor appetite, that tired feeling, sleepless nights, and the other dozen alliments of which we occasionally complain? The commercial world has discovered the value of health. It is emphasizing health in the advertising of its products. Advertisers are psychologists. They know how to appeal to man's primary interests. They advertise this or that product as a "health builder," a "health restorer," or a "health retainer." They sell their products and make millions of dollars every year. If we cease to worry, sleep enough, eat enough, but not too much, relax when we are weary, live in pleasant and sanitary surroundings, go out into the fresh air and sunshine every day and play enough, we too shall be building our own Hall of Luxury." Members of the Hearts of Gold Club gave a surprise party to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Shannon. In honor of their 3rd Anniversary. Among those present who made the evening pleasant were Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Kinney. Mrs. Cleo Mangrum, Mrs. Charles McCarty, Mrs. Delia Martin, Mrs. Maude Ware, Mrs. Dora McGee, Mrs. Alma Finch, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Oliver, Mrs. Cecil Thomas, Mr. L. F. Lamar, Mrs. Jesse Perkinson also Mr. Aruthur Day. Who is in our city visiting his daughters. DON'T FORGET THE ELK'S PICNIC. JUNE 19th.

CHURCH Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor ...The Sunday School had a large attendance, with most of the teachers present. At eleven o'clock a splendid congregation assembled to hear Prince Blayechettai, who brought to us a wonderful message. The prince is a preacher of first rank and carries his audience with him from the very start. In the afternoon, the pastor and the senior choir with several of the members of the church, went to Pasadena to be with Rev. Lewis and his congregation of the First A. M. E. church. The pastor preached and the choir furnished the music A fair congregation worshipped at the night service at Grant Chapel. The pastor preached a short sermon and turned the meeting into a praise service, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Many came to the altar for re-consecration and every one went home feeling that they had enjoyed a day of splendid services. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at the eleven o'clock service and at three o'clock in the afternoon. California Council 152 and Golden West Council, 162. Knights and Daughters of Honor, will have their annual sermon. Rev. L. M. Curtis will preach the sermon and the Macedonia choir will furnish the music. In the afternoon at three o'clock, the pastor of Grant Chapel and the junior choir with some of the members of the church will attend Quarterly meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church, West Side. The junior choir will sing at the service. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor Sunday School was very good under the direction of the wide awake superintendent, and a large number were out to enjoy the lesson. At the 11 o'clock service the devotionals were conducted by the pastor, and a wonderful sermon was preached by Rev. Zinniman, which was enjoyed by a large congregation. The minister brought us an excellent message, and gave us much information of his group of people. Splendid donations and pledges were given and he spoke of the hearty welcome felt in Macedonia. The Union was in service at its usual hour, and it is the request of the president to have all attend these weekly meetings and make them what they should be. Each evening there will be a short snappy program. At 7:40 the services were opened by the senior choir singing "On Christ, the solid Rock, I Stand," and this hymn signaled to stir the audience. After the devotionals the pastor introduced the minister, Prince J. E. Blaychettai of Africa, who came forward and brought to our hearts a wonderful message from God. Really our hearts were touched. The minister spoke of his appreciation of the liberal donation and splendid audience in Macedonia, and cheerfully hopes to return to us soon. Monday evening, Prince Blaychettai gave a wonderful lecture. A wonderful demonstration of his missionary work and many interesting things concerning his native land. Last Friday evening Pastor, choir and congregation motored in a party to Venice. Pastor Curtis preached a very interesting sermon to an appreciative audience. After the sermon, the party continued further down the beach and indulged in a Weiner Bake. Everyone had a good time and will soon go on another one in still larger numbers. Next Sunday will be our day of Communion Services, and all are expected to be present. FRIENDSHIP BAPSTIST CHURCH Rev. A, P. Ramsey, Pastor Services at Friendship Baptist church were well attended Sunday, May 26th. The services were splendid throughout the day. The pastor preached at both morning and evening services. The pastor and members went to Shiloh Baptist Church, of which Rev. R. M. Marshall is pastor, at the three o'clock service. This was a union meeting of the District Association. The Sunday School is progressing nicely, both in attendance and finance. The B. Y. P. U is also doing splendidly in its work—in fact all the departments of the church are alive and working. California Council 152 and Golden West Council 162 will have their annual sermon at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church, at three o'clock in the afternoon. All members of both Councils are requested to be present in full uniform. Mrs. E. Warner and Katie Daniels, Imperial Deputies. Cora Johnson, regent. Rev. L. M. Curtis will preach the sermon. Mrs. Katie Daniels wishes to thank Peter Ogden Lodge, G. U. O. O. F., for the letter of appreciation she received for her service recently rendered. Mr. George Jones in company with Mr. Ed. Saunders made a trip to Oakland, Calif., Saturday, May 25th and returned to Bakersfield Monday evening, to appear in a musical program. They will also sing in Fresno Wednesday night and will return to Los Angeles on Friday. The boys and girls of David Starr Jordan High School gave an operetta at the school, Friday night, May 24.

CITIZENS COUNCIL HOLDS MASS MEETING The final mass meting of the Citizen's Council and Industrial League was held at Grant Chapel A. M. E. church, East 108th and Compton Ave. Tuesday night. There was a silenced audience present. The primary purpose of the meeting was to hear the candidates who had been indorsed at the previous meeting. The candidates or their representatives who were present made telling speeches in the interest of their candidates for the positions they are seeking. The Young People's orchestra, under the direction of Mr. L. G. Eggleston, turfished the music for the accession. With this meeting the League closed its campaign and leaves the result to be expressed by the voters next Tuesday. A man was struck by a Pacific Electric car at Abila station on Monday, and died shortly after. Mr. Peter Martin was married to Miss Goldsmith, Tuesday, May 28th. The couple are now living on E. 111 street. Mrs. Grace Diamond of 116 street, died May 27. She leaves a mother, husband and sister to mourn her loss. The U. N. I. A. held a splendid meeting. Sunday afternoon at the C. M. E. Church. Prince Blaychettai spoke at the meeting. Mr. Vernon McCalle, formerly of Oakland, and now well known among the young society of Los Angeles, was removew to Norwolk, this week because of the loss of his mind. He had been under observation for a short time and it was deemed best to take him to the sanitarium. It is reported that his condition is the result of an affair of the heart. We wonder if the prominent young chauffeur, Mr. Logan Ponder, who is touring the east this summer will continue to find the pleasure in driving now that he has in the past seven years, since he has had to leave the Mrs. L.

Southern Solons Show Inconsistency in Re- districting Battle In Senate, GRR, Boe Ed Washington, D. C., May 28.—Much interest {s being manifested in the bat- tle in the United States Senate over the proposed congressional reappor. tionment plan, based on the census of 1920. One of the most interesting phases of the fight is the inconsistency of the southern senators, who are avow- ed enemies of the reappartionment ‘plan, The legislators are soul and body against the plan due to the fact that if carried to the full extent of the prinetple involved it might serve to force the southern states either to permit the Neernes to vote as arcord- ed by, the Constitution of the Tnited States, or to lose a Jarre number of places in the halls of Coneress. This Inconsistency was brought to light in the tattle wared bv the south- erners against the amendment offered by Senator 1. ©. Phipps, of Colorado to reduce the fine to be imposed on persons convicte] of frend in the can. vass from $10.000 td $5.000, The sen ators from the Sonth are not in favor of this amendment but dgclare that the fines should be Increasea. » “The penalty for such en offense.” asserted Senator 7. A. Swanson. of Virginis, “esnecially when ir affects the representation in congress and in the eléctoral college, ought to be se- vere.” . Senator W. F. Georee of Georeta, edded “ond It oueht to fnelte ‘nris: onment #3 well as a fine.” These 80 ‘ons were supnorted by Senator Pat Harrison of Misstastoni, who enein eered the filibuster during the lest session of coneress when the matter came np, and who dnring this present fieht has contended that the severest penalty should be inflicted on thore who are guilty of those “nalpable frauds.” It was under Senator George's sdministration as chief of the census borean during the Wilson administration that the census of 192( was so imperfectly taken, The population of the South largely Negroid and while Southern ers see the black brethren are count ed in the vopulation, it is well-knowr that they do not figure in the electior of the men to the offices made possi ‘la in congress through their num bers, The sonthern senators, how ever, while willing to count the Ne groes in the census are not willing tc count their votes in the various elec tions. ; _ Come one, come all to the Tennle ‘Tournament Decoration Day.

The THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE LIKE A THUNDERBOLT out of a clear sky comes the announcement today, that the EASTSIDE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE has decided that the man best suited for MAYOR of the great City of Los Angeles is JOHN C. PORTER! To those who wonder at this startling overnight decision made by this representative and influential organization, they have this explanation to gladly give. Ever watchful over the welfare of Negro citizens, whose economic and civic standing is ever in need of careful attention, the League has been weighing and studying closely the claims careers, and the very lives of the two candidates for Mayor. So it has decided, that not only for the good of the citizenry at large, but especially for the good of the Negro group, JOHN C. PORTER, is the man into whose hands should be intrusted the helm of the city's government at the election on June 4th. First of all, it has been learned upon careful and direct questioning, that PORTER IS NOT NOR EVER HAS BEEN AFFILIATED WITH THE JUSTLY HATED KU KLUX KLAN! For those opposing him to originate and broadcast rumors which stalk about like a sinister figure with harmful, poisonous shadow in cur public life, is to generate an influence more reprehensible than the Klan itself. Mr. Porter does not intend for the government of the city under his direction, to flounder in the Dismal Swamp of bigotry, strife and race hatreds because of any such secret organization. On the eve of selecting a mayor of this, the fifth largest city in the United States, the public is entitled to more than gossip and rumor in determining the affiliations of candidates. SECURED EMPLOYMENT FOR 600 NEGROES His interest in the race did not begin with the campaign but, knowing our economic conditions, he has assisted in securing employment for over 600 Negroes during the last few years. A Committee of representative Ministers—Rev. A. P. Shaw, Wesley Chapel; Rev. Riddle, Dean of Pacific Coast Baptist Theological Seminary; Rev. J. H. Wilson, Editor and Manager of the Christian Recorder and Rev. M. Fredrick Mitchell, Campaign Director, John C. Porter For Mayor—wishing to get first hand information from Mr. Porter himself, the following questions were propounded: "Are you a member of Mr. Bob Shuler's Church"?—"No! I am a member of the Christian Church." "In lieu of the fact that Mr. Bob Shuler is so intensely interested in your candidacy, were you prompted by him to become a candidate for Mayor? Or if elected what influence will he have upon you regarding your policy and attitude toward the Colored Americans?" MR. PORTER'S ANSWER: Gentlemen, I want to frankly tell you that I have not talked fifteen minutes with Mr. Shuler in my life like other candidates, I am glad to have the support of any citizen who agrees with my political tenet. My clean-up program happened to be the advocacy of Mr. Shuler's, but in my judgment Mr. Shuler nor any other citizen who claims to promulgate Civic Righteoutness could do otherwise than to support my candidacy. Mr. Shuler and no other man has a collar around my neck. And it will be the same when I become Mayor. If in the event when I become Mayor I cannot be fair-minded and treat all citizens, regardless of race, color or creed, with justice and in the spirit of the Brotherhood of man, before my four years expire, I will resign from being Mayor.

Porter Friday, May 31, 1929 LIKE A THUNDERMENT today, that has decided that City of Los Angeles is Jail.

Mr. Hugh McGuire, a pr Member of the Board of Public BIG LANDSLIDE LOOMS FOR PORTER VOTERS DEMAND A COMPLETE CHANGE IN CITY ADMINISTRATION JUNE 4TH In City Administration June 4th, JOHN C. PORTER, the best endorsed candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles by securing more than 31,000 majority vote over his opponent in the May 7th Primaries, has been gaining strength every day of his campaign. As we go to press, report comes from the Porter for Mayor headquarters that the commercial or business endorsements for Mr. Porter far exceed the church endorsement. Space will not permit the reproduction of half of either. Like the home owners, business people are calling for a complete change in our local government. These commercial endorsements come --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA ---You May Never Know It Happened from every known kind of good business firms. It is safe to say that 95% of these endorsements come from property owners or, should we say, from people trying to own property in Los Angeles. This statement brings us face to face with the one and only issue of this campaign and why you should vote Tuesday, June 4th for John C. Porter for Mayor. John C. Porter is the only candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles who is free, clear, independent and not a part of the present or past administration. The only candidate who has not had a part in the "Special Assessments", "Special Privileges", "Higher Taxes and Airport Deals." The sale of real estate is and should be the biggest business in Los Angeles. Need us tell you the deplorable condition this business is in today. One question will save space: "Why don't you sell your property?" Nearly 100% will answer: "I can't." Can you, Mr. or Mrs. Voter, by any stretch of imagination, hope for any remedy of this condition from the present, or any part of the present administration? The remedy for this situation lies in Biggest Sensation of the Political Campaign! Eastside Independent League Backs Porter Klan Accusations Branded False! JOHN C. PORTER THE EASTSIDE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE a fixed and certain system of taxation so you can tell for years to come, how much it will cost you to keep your property. No one knows now, from month to month, when a "Special Assessment Lien" will be stuck on their property. In thousands of cases they do not know it until the mortgage comes due and they try to renew it. Do not forget this: Mr. Porter's opinion has been President of the City Council for nearly 2 years. According to his own statement he has been Mayor for a sixth of that time without a single protest, without a single veto on the song that has stagnated the sale of real estate in Los Angeles. That is why 7619s voted for John C. Porter in the Primaries, May 7th. That is why more than 3,000 majority was given Mr. Porter over his opponent. That is why Mr. Porter received 22,219 more votes than all four old-administration candidates put together. One time on the farm the mice got into the flour-bin and the guts got into the syrup-can. Well, we sifted and strained. We sifted and strained. There was good flour in the bin and good syrup in the can, but try as we would, we just found it impossible to enjoy these necessities until we got a new sack of flour and a new can of syrup. It can't be done, and so it with the old, corrupt, political machine. There are good men in it but it is impossible for them to separate themselves from it. It takes a new deck and a square deal to do this. It takes a Mayor who is free, clear, independent and uncontaminated to do this. John C. Porter is the man of the hour. He is your only choice. He will keep the good and kick out the bad. Never before in the history of Los Angeles has the voter had such an opportunity to break the old administration's corrupt political machine. Every indication points to a big landslide for John C. Porter, Tuesday, June 4th. The 76.198 voters were not wrong May 7th. Just double that vote next Tuesday. Elect John C. Porter Mayor of Los Angeles and you will secure "Better Government and Lower Taxes." You will secure "Better Business and Common Decency." You will secure "Progress and Prosperity." You will do your duty. You can vote for the same John C. Porter for Mayor you voted for in the primaries May 7th. Tuesday, June 4th, you can elect the same John C. Porter you nominated in the primaries. July 1, you will inaugurate the Wood Wilson, President Dr. H. D. Prowd, Vice President Ella L. Cassels, Secretary The Porter For Mayor Camp Grows The Porter For Mayor Camp Grows The Porter For Mayor Camp on the East Side is growing by leaps and loops. Rev. Mitchell and his corps of workers are making a clean extensive campaign. In keeping with the heart and soul of their Standard Bearer, the Hon. John C. Porter, who THE NEW YORK TIMES MR. WOOD WILSON will surely be the next Mayor, people of all groups are plamoring to get on the Porter's Wagon. The following are some of the few ardent supporters of Mr. Porter's candidacy: Dr. A. P. Shaw, S. B. W. May, T. A. Whitaker, M. D., H. H. Towles, same identical John C. Porter you elect next Tuesday, June 4th. None of the old corrupt administration support or money has been accepted in the Porter campaign. The same good people who started with Mr. Porter in the campaign are with him today. Not one single man or woman has said they are sorry they voted for Mr. Porter in the Primaries. Seldom, if ever, has this happened in Los Angeles. We have done our duty. Most certainly this paper has done its duty. Will you do your duty? Vote Tuesday, June 4th, and vote early. EXTRA! NEGROES TO WORK AT HARBOR Favoring the harbor bill, during a recent meeting at the Forum, he gave his word that there would be Negroes employed at the Harbor, and promised that there would be many other avenues opened for Negroes, not merely in return for their votes, but because as American citizens, they deserve it. POLICE ENDORSE CLEAN CITY POLICY He is not advertising his interest in the group by championing one certain case of needed law enforcement, but stands for law and order for the protection of all American citizens. A clean city is a safe one and his militant work on the 1928 grand jury showed that he would put his words into action. To this end, the police department is endorsing him knowing that he will aid and cooperate with them in proper law enforcement. A whispering campaign charging that JOHN C. PORTER would close Sunday baseball, Sunday theatres, Sunday amusements or legitimate sports of any kind, is a deliberate lie. MR. PORTER is a man of the people and for the people and not opposed to clean sports and amusements, but for them—just as you all are. PRESIDENT HOOVER ON CRIME President Hoover found it necessary to call the people's attention to the seriousness of the crime condition in this country. Nearly two years ago JOHN C. PORTER not only called the people's attention to this fact, but he, with the help of the Grand Jury, made it possible for our Fighting District Attorney to put many of the "higher-ups" where they are today. What better endorsement can we secure? Summing up and remembering MR. PORTER'S request that all citizens come and consult him, assured of a hearty welcome when in office, the Eastside Independent League advises you for the sake of your own and the welfare of the community to Vote For JOHN C. PORTER, on Tuesday, June 4th M. D., James Alexander, Wood Wilson, R. S. Whitaker, M. D., Prof. T. A. Green, A. J. Artist, J. D. Fitzpatrick, J. E. Porter, M. D. Rev. J. H.

TRIUMPHS IN MEMBERSHIP DRIVE In a city-wide Y. 35, C. A. membership round-up, staged during the month of May, the 28th street branch, known in the round-up as the 2.8 Ranch, succeeded in rounding up and branding over 250 mavericks. This feat won for the local branch first piece honors and a beautiful painting which will soon adorn the walls of the men's lobby. Although T. A. Greene was only a "straw boss," he ably assisted manager "Thunderbolt" Taylor, bosses "Lanky" Robinson, "Kid" Boswell, "Shorty" Pearson, "Dynamite" Hampton, "Long-Tall" Johnson, "Slim" Smith and scores of others to put the "2-8 Ranch" "over the top." On Sunday, May 26th, the beautiful home of Mrs. Hattie Burton, at Camarillo, Calif., was the scene of a smart appointed diner in honor of Mrs. B. Casorina of New York. The table was beautifully decorated with roses and snail dragons. Other guests were: Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Gaddis, of Santa Barbara; Mrs. Nettie Jones of Santa Barbara; Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Dempsey, Mr. W. H. Martin, Mrs. Virginia Brown, Mr and Mrs. F. A. Richmond of Los Angeles.

It is one of 120 Yellow Cab Stations at important neighborhood centers throughout Los Angeles, connected by private telephone with DUnkirk 50-50. When you order a Yellow Cab, it is sent to you from the nearest Yellow Cab Station. That is why the service is so prompt. There is no charge for service until after the driver announces his arrival at your starting point. Yellow Cab Service is city-wide, supervised and dependable. It is always as near as a telephone.

Yellow Cabs "Yours for the Journals in town" DUnkirk 50-50 NO BLUE LAWS Page----Seven If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened The world is in a hurry: please be brief. Poor terminal facilities for authors and speakers often nullify all their excellent wisdom. A man may possess all kinds of useful knowledge, but fail in "discerning when to have done." Brevity is the touchstone of success in any field. You may offend your customer, your reader or your hearer in one respect and please him in another. But if you tire him with your tediousness, you lose him altogether. The newspaper leads the style today in path and cogency and has educated the public to the expectation of receiving much in little. The well-executed cartoon will impart a whole philosophy of life at a glance, or provide silent comment on current events worth a column of words. Brevity is the soul of wit. Yet they who have wit, or think they have, are in especial danger of saying too much. Someone has said: "It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open the mouth and dispel all doubt." ON BEING USEFUL Men and women who sow the seed of constant useful activity reap the harvest of success from a soil fertilized by their own steady purpose. It would be as foolish to expect success without active exertion as to gather a crop before you plant the seed. But in cultivating that character which reaps true achievement you may sow in all seasons and gather the fruits with the serene assurance that even wind and weather—storm and stress—are a part of the process of personal growth. Optimism is an ally of effort and success. It is the kernel of the nut, not the shell. It is the fine traits of the man, not the faults. It is the flowers on the hill side, not the dead leaves under the snow. It is the opportunity in any job, not the grind. It is up to the individual whether his world will be golden or drab. Optimism in a word is the eye of the soul. It is the color in the vision revealing the fine beyond the coarse, the best beyond the worst. What price Prohibition? The stricter the law, the more drastic the enforcement, the greater the contempt. It is flouted openly by those entrusted with its execution. There is no fear of the imprisonment; no regard as to the fine. The deriliation of prohibition enforcement officers has ceased to be news. The arrest of a sheriff or the indictment of a prosecutor fails to cause a ripple of surprise. Since the adoption of the "Jones Law" the hip pocket flask is just as much in evidence; the staggering inebriate, and the roystering "whooppee" makers as obvious before. The "noble experiment" seems due to have an ignoble end. We feel so secure in our national affluence, that the magic of the dollar will do all things, we are loath to acknowledge being on the wrong road and retrace our steps to the point where practical experience tells us to begin. We should be convinced by this time that unless the masses are educated to the harmful consequence in the use of intoxicants no power is sufficient to keep them from obtaining it. It would not be venturesome to say that the prohibition campaign inaugurated by the Government of Mexico will have a more beneficial effect in a decade than that of the United States with its expenditure of billions of dollars. If the masses—and that includes our school youngsters—were educated to the fact that every swallow of the poison was a menace to longevity it would have a different phase, than the "THOUS SHALL NOT." The brutality of the enforcement agents; their disregard of life and the sacredness of home, has been the cause of them being looked upon as human pariahs; devoid of every instinct which should appeal to the better sense. .COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON News came to us of the passing of Don Jackson in Chicago. Dan was one of the old Pittsburg boys. No doubt that Jim Miller of Pasadena or our friend Holt of Los Angeles remember the Jackson Grocery store which used to be the rendezvous for the boys at Wylie and Roberts Sts. Dan came from one of the pioneer families of Western Pennsylvania. He rose to political prominence in his adopted state of Illinois. At the time of his demise he was serving on the State Commerce Commission. That appointment is one of the highest and most sought for in the governmental appointments of the State. Dan Jackson came by his bent for politics honestly. It was bred in the bone. When political campaigns were regular "WHOOPEES" and partizan feeling ran high, the boys, though ever so far from the voting age, would shoulder a blazing torch and trudge behind the band till our legs ached with pain. Sav one word detrimental to the favorite candidate and, Oh my! what a fight. We never went through Chicago without running into his place of business to say hello and have a handshake. He lived a life worthwhile. He was a credit to the community where he lived; His life was an incentive to our struggling youth: His death a loss to his Race. Well! Well! What President Hoover promised the country would be a special short session of the Congress to formulate a relief for the "poor farmer," has developed into a full grown shindy over the tariff and the debenture clause with no seeming chance for reconciliation between the upper and lower house. Then reapportionment is beginning to clamor for recognition from the Solons. So you see that the farmer will collect a few more crops and whistle for the profit, before congress passes any measure for his ultimate relief. We opine that before the special session of congress will recess that the motive which convened it will be lost sight of and submerged in the many angles of the legislation emanating therefrom. The report of the Tariff Commission has stirred up a hornet's nest. Every section of the United States has some pet industry that its representative must protect. The ad valorem tax is either too high or too low and many are the wasted words before any adjustment can be made. All of these matters affect Mr. Taxpayer and he should take some interest in them. Big corporations maintain a big lobby to see to their interest and protect them. The biggest corporation of all, the men and women who maintain the government through taxation, are the most apathetic. Nine choirs of the Negro churches about the Bay Cities held a contest in the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. The judges of the contest were some of the most noted musicians and composers of the West. The contest proved one thing: that the Negro Spirituals sang with the cultural understanding of the Negro has placed that class of music on a par with any. There was a time when the "educated" Negro thought that the sweet refrains of their forefathers were relics of a day they longed to forget. They looked upon them as clownish reflections of an ignorant folk. They did not realize that education is as much a medium of experience as from the theory of books. Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION URGING A SOLID SUPPORT FOR POWER AND LIGHT BONDS The attitude of continued progress for our wonderful city will doubtless be accentuated in a solid support for Propositions Nos. 1 and 2, which appear on the ballots at next Tuesday's election. Far more important is this measure to the average every day common citizen than all others, for it brings to them the very essentials of living at the lowest possible rate. Be not deceived by the blandishments and overtures of the privately owned power and light companies whose only interest is selfish greed, in which only the few bloated stockholders participate. It is far better to stand up for the interests of the people of whom we are all an integral part. To Eagle readers we say, beware of the individual who at so much per, is opposing the passage of these progressive measures for they do so, only for the pitiful mess of pottage which they receive. - EVERY ASPIRANT GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO STATE HIS CASE. In the campaign just drawing to a close, we have given to all who would care an opportunity to state his case in these columns, and now the issue is clearly up to the readers to decide the same for themselves upon the case submitted. At no time have we sought to inject our own personal opinion in the premises. Every line therefore which you have read upon the aspirants for Mayor, has been placed by those interested through the business office of this publication. If there are those who have failed to avail themselves of the opportunity it is no fault of ours as we have said: Here it is—You can take it or leave it. We conduct a newspaper and in doing so we seek the business to maintain it, we are not subsidized and that leaves us with an open door. We are not depending upon political campaigns in order to function. Many years of effort have attracted a large and steadily growing family of patrons, who are alone responsible for such success as we might have attained. We say this that our readers may know and appreciate the attitude of fair play and justice to all, and further to know the people best who appreciate your suffrage enough to seek your consideration through these columns. "FORGIVE THEM FATHER, THEY KNOW NOT WHAT, THEY DO." There are some members of our group who are woefully short on race or any other sort of pride. We refer particularly at this time to the members of our group, who are supporting the privately owned power companies against themselves. We refer to the short-sighted voters who have the brazen effrontery to go forth and oppose the bonds which mean the continued and future progress of our wonderful city. We say this advisedly and justify the assertion when we challenge anybody to show that these companies are worthy of any sort of recognition by our people. They have demonstrated the fact, that they will not recognize the group to the extent of even giving them employment-as janitors. These same companies resorted to chicanery to procure a contract from our large colored hotel. They promised to use a gang of colored workmen, they stalled by putting on a gang, and as soon as a contract was secure, fired every one of them and in the face of this situation we are sure, when they go forth in the fight in these bonds at the behest of the companies, "they know not what they do." Therefore, we say, Father, forgive them. ALL FOR GRANT ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION We want to emphasize the importance of a strong and unstinted support for George S. Grant for the Board of Education. This is a situation wherein all peoples expect this people to come forward and give their support to one who is well qualified to fill this position. All angles of our citizenship should have representation and every fair-minded person is agreed upon this principle. Therefore we have a duty to perform by giving to George S. Grant a solid support. THE LOS ANGELES MERCHANT For more than 49 years the California Eagle has been boosting for Los Angeles' merchants—the home-town business men. Los Angeles merchants stand by their home-town at all times; always willing to lend a helping hand in the support of every home enterprise; they back every move that is for the best interest of Los Angeles. They carry complete lines of goods in every department; they buy from the best wholesale markets, and as they sell at right prices Los Angeles merchants are entitled to the trade of Los Angeles county. But we wonder if the citizens in and about there realize the great worth of the home-town merchants' to the general life of the community, of the diverse things they do for the town and its people, and how much we, as a people, owe to them. Back of every movement for good—for development, for progress and uplift—are their hands in indifference other than to hold them out during beneficial showers. Who are the vital forces in every organization having to do with community life and betterment? The home-town merchants. Who are the first to launch movements for various improvements, for better streets, for a cleaner city, for city beautification, for amusements and entertainments? The home-town merchants. Who digs deeper into their pocketbooks to help worthy causes along—and calls come often during the run of a year—and who gives more support to community benefits, with their money, presence and voice—than the home-town merchants? Nobody. Who are the first to speak up against that which is injurious to our community—that is detrimental to the home, to society, to the industrial, commercial, financial and moral life? The home-town merchants. Verily "day by day" and in every way" Los Angeles merchants are contributing of their money, their time and their energy to make this community a bigger, better and busier place in which to labor and live. It is well that our citizens give more than a passing thought to the debt they owe to Los Angeles merchants and that this debt can be repaid by giving to them the trade of the community, a trade that is rightfully theirs, a trade well earned. The truth of the matter is, home-town merchants are selling goods at, or less than city prices, and if we will be fair enough to admit that it costs money to go to the city—car or bus fare, gasoline, wear and tear of the car, time spent and shoe leather worn out—it is, after all is said and done, cheaper to trade at home, saving nothing of the spirit of reciprocity, of do- Be brief! But now that they are being educated they find a world of beauty in them and have a pride in their rendition. Here is what one of the outstanding critics of music and the drama has to say. Redferm Mason writing in the San Francisco Examiner says "One virtue all the choirs shared. They sang the words so clearly that no one could fail to understand them. This is rare. Spirituals formed a large element in the singing and they were sung with a devout seriousness that went straight to the hearts of the hearers. A considerable range of what may be styled cultural tone was noticeable. Some developed a dramatic sense, others fine tonal shading. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable concert and an example to church singers of all races and denominations." He was found dead in the weeds of a vacant lot in Sacramento. They say that he was an ex-overseas man, a World War Veteran. Too proud to beg; they say he would never accept offers of assistance from associates. He was known only as "Jimmy" and to them was a-mystery. There seems to be some question as to the claim of war service. It would not be begging or seeking alms to apply for entrance into one of the many hospitals that the government has erected and maintains for such as "Jimmy." Then there is the headquarters of the American Legion where no deserving person is turned away without succor. It is inconceivable that a human life should pass through starvation within a stone's throw of plenty. There are conditions that cause humans to forget every semblance of decency. The "Thou Shall Not" has poisoned the bodies and minds until both degenerated beyond hope. Derelicts and the flotsam on the sea of life are seen daily squeezing the poison from the canned heat or slouching in some obscure place waiting for a poison which, to them, is life. Those are the things that make men "too proud" to seek legitimate aid. The sooner the nation returns to a sane control of the mediums which cause the downfall of many, the better. The California Legislature passed up for the signature of the Governor, a bill creating a 24 hour school for delinquent boys and girls. It has been termed, and rightly, a "Jail School." It is impossible to believe that any thinking person wants "reformatories" set up in every school district in the state where children charged with any imaginary delinquency could be sent. A moral stigma would brand the boy or girl who would be entered as an inmate. Every boy who detests the environs of the school room is hopeless. We have in mind a man, who, as a boy, would rather build a wind mill by the dam of a little stream than sit in school. He is today one of the outstanding engineers of the country and gave to his native town a systemof industrial power which has caused it to grow into a city. The bill would place boys of eight years of age in such institution and allow them to be kept there until the age of sixteen. It could be done under the most flimsy pretext and without consent of the parent. Human nature is the same whether it is the school principal or any other. Likes and dislikes are common. A boy may have the dislike or aversion of his teacher. I may come through some bovish trait which the psychological experimenters have solved. He is declared a delinquent. Sent to the 24 hour reformatory and a stigma placed upon his young life which will minimize his future usefulness. The recent Parent Teacher Convention endorsed the measure, but we are sure that they did not study its ramifications. Has the American Negro developed a color caste? Has he become imbued with the obsession that to be white is to be right? It may be that the many writers and commentators who are trying to convey this idea have a method. United We Stand, Dividea We Fall. The growing tendency of the Negro to UNITE is causing a bit of unrest among some of the more timorous of our Nordic friends. What more could rouse resentment than arraignment of color caste within the Race? The means were sought when Toussaint L'Ouverture was fighting for the liberation of Haiti. It being practiced with success today in the Antilles. The one thing most seeming obvious to the seeker of Negro psychology is the drawing of the color line. Of course it is imagery and has no basis other than that there is some fool Negroes just the same as there is some fool white folk. Some of the outstanding men and women of the race need no herald. Robert Abbott or Robert Moton are not blondes neither is Mrs. Mary Bethune. Thousands of others might be named whose minds and characters place them in the forerank. The same procedure being practiced by the propagandist of today was practiced in ante bellum times. The mulatto in the big house was taught that they were superior to the black in the cotton patch. Yet both were slaves. If a man or woman be the shade of Erebus, but has the culture and character to win he or she is an acceptable asset to the Race. Don't be alarmed all of this color caste is written to cause dissension in the ranks. Get closer together. The color question seems t obe a strictly American institution. Sometimes it is the cause of ludicrous situations. A heavy coat of tan was supposed to be the sign of affluence inasmuch as none but the wealthy could afford to lie on the sands and disport themselves in the waves until they had accumulated a coat of "teasing brown." A few days ago a very wealthy party who had been enjoying the balmy atmosphere of Florida returned t other hotel in Washington. But when they applied for accommodation were met with the reply that the hotel did not accommodate colored folk. Needless to say that there was consternation and abject apology when identity was revealed. The regular "High Browns" of Miami. Florida had the times of their lives when they found out that the edict had gone out that the clerks should treat all persons courteously as it was very hard to distinguish. Being splendid mimics they would impersonate the fashionable dame, enter the otherwise, to them, forbidden place, make a purchase, receive the obsequious attentions of the clark, get around the corner and laugh their heads off. Even the Jail that harbors $100,000,000 Sinclair in the District of Columbia has its color line. The days and hours of visiting are proportioned. Friday is the day for white visitors and Tuesday for Negroes. It has been but a few years past that we called the attention of our young men to the development of air traffic and pointed out to them the great possibilities in training themselves for the day when airplanes would be as safely developed for travel as the automobile. It has not taken long for the prediction to be fulfilled, but where are the competent air pilots? Some of these big birds of the air are to be equipped with all of the luxuries of the Pullman car. Sleeping quarters and refreshment accommodations for the passengers. Luxurious lounging quarters and carrying space for 32 passengers. We wonder if they will be able to get "George" up in the air? He might go up as a sheet slinger when he would not train as a pilot. This "no use in trying" stuff must be eliminated, cast aside, if we are going to accomplish any worthwhile thing. How are you going to enter the "Door of Opportunity" even when it stands open to you unless you have the passport of preparation? Friday, May 31, 1929 BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPI Specializing in Women's Disease and Obatetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 F. 82nl St., Phone, 11U, 1419 or VA. 1221.] SYPHILIS AND MARRIAGE With a disease of such great prevalence that it constitutes 1-10 to 1-8 of all diseases, which is encountered in all ages and sexes, all races and stations in life: which has traveled wherever man has set his foot: a disease which is making our men and women physical and mental wrecks and our children, feeble in constitution, blind, deaf and dumb, while others are epileptic idiosis cursed with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) or mylards of other mind or bodily deformities: with such a distorting and devastating monster in our midst it is right as well as logical that the question should be asked—Should a person with syphilis marry? BLINDFOLDED WIVES BENDFOLDED WIVES There are two factors to consider in answering this question. The prospective husband and wife and the prospective children. In this enlighten age it is the privilege of any man or any woman who contemplates marriage to demand a medical certificate from his or her partner stating the venereal status of the said partner: That is whether he or she has possessive syphilis or gonorrhoea, whether the case is doubtful or whether all scientific tests indicate the absolute absence of any venereal taint whatever. Every young woman or every man who considers marriage should know that it is their right, and in most instances their duty to determine as nearly as possible by a previous medical examination the venereal status of their prospective life partner. It is not fair to herself for a woman to go into matrimony blind-folded as to her husband's venereal status any more than she should be ignorant of other conditions, which he possesses. And vice versa, any man has a right, more than that, a duty, to know as far as medical science can reveal the general status and the venereal status of the one whom he plans to marry. Both man and woman should consider it their responsibility to know as far as possible, whether the partner whom they are choosing has a sound body or whether they are literally "rotten" throughout their internal system with disease. Then there are the children to consider. Poor, helpless little darlings who do not have the privilege of demanding a physical examination before they choose their parents. Positively no woman in this world and no man should ever take upon themselves the sacred responsibility of the procreation of innocent babies before first determining, as far as possible, whether they are untainted by disease, or whether they will bequeath to their children a heritage of misery, disease and horrible deformity—children which have no choice and cannot escape. Thousands of cases of misery could be spared if all young people considering marriage, would put a thorough examination, by a strictly honest and a thoroughly efficient doctor, down as one of the essential conditions of marriage. Thus not only syphilis, but tuberculosis, heart disease, kidney disease and manifold other diseases could be diagnosed and properly treated BEFORE marriage, rather than after—when in most instances the deadly poison has been passed on to the inocent partner and transferred to the helpless offspring. Can syphilis be cured? Since I began this series of articles this question has been asked over and over again. Let those who have sent in this query be sure to watch our next issue because the "cure" of syphilis will be our subject. SIXTH GRADERS YLEARN TO Quite a number of girls of sixth grade age and older have been taking advantage of the "Learn to Swim" week in the municipal pools at the various playgrounds throughout the city this week. The movement is being sponsored by the Los Angeles City Schools, with the object of teaching as many students as possible from the sixth grade upward, to swim. This week was the girls week and in spite of the Fact that the weather was rather cool, the girls living near the 221st street playground turned out in large numbers to take advantage of the opportunity. Next week starting Monday, the boys will have a chance to learn. Each Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, a swimming meet is held, and the beginners are given an opportunity to display their ability along with the more experienced swimmers.

Since the great Emancipation declared him a free man he has made greater progress along the lines of education, finance and general uplift than history accords to any other group or race in the same length of time. The American Negro is one of the few groups that he serves under the same flap. He worships the same God. Why I want to know, is it necessary that he be singled out as a separate people and have a special message regarding this election or any other election now or at any other time. If we are true Candid Are You Now FOLLOWING a flor Daily News yester By WILLIAM G. BONELLI: I AM NOT a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I never have been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Moreover, I never will be a member of the Ku Klux Klan. As the son of a long and unbroken line of Americans in the United States for seven generations, I believe a government should represent all Americans. I do not believe that any religious organization, including my own, which is Presbyterian, should engage, as a religious body, in politics. The city of Los Angeles is the largest business corporation in the state of California. I seek office solely on the merits of my qualifications as a municipal executive, the record of public service that I have established as president of the city council, and the platform upon which I now am seeking the support of the public.

CRO hearted American citizens we are working for the good of all people and not for any certain group, class, creed or color. Every scientific test is proving that Nordic superiority is only a myth. Something that some fool is trying to put over on some person who has more sense than he has. Sensible thinking people are getting tired of such toolishness, Nordic, Black, Brown Yellow or any other color let the character and the intelligence be the standard of manhood. Who is this Nordic and what has he done that he should be boasting of superiority? The Negro, as I have said, is an American citizen. An intelligent, industrious, energetic, progressive Christian citizen who only a few short years ago was thrown out upon the world homeless and penniless and despite all the oppression and hardship he has in these few years proven himself in every way to be worthy of the rights and privileges of all other American citizens. The Negro of to idates ar now or Have You a flood of rumors concerning yesterday openly addressed 1930 mechanics, the musicians' association, and other organizations affiliated with them. This organization represents a voting strength of same 25,000 citizens of Los Angeles city.

Please rest assured that in the event of your election, in the accomplishment of which we OWN day is taking his place in the field of education, in professional life, in the world of finance and in the political welfare of his country, side by side, and equal to his Caucasian brother. The Negro has too much common sense to be won by some slavery day jokes and special tributes for their special benefit. He helps to the people known as Caucasians, the blue-blood of Virginia news in my veins but what is due to boast of? Blood is the whistle to be the blood of man, and not a plant life. Blood is life and the life of God and He is no respect to persons. Why should any man being set themselves up to be the Great Judge. I have been studying sociology from the every day Life of both groups of people and have learned the great qualities and some for our benefit. We the Caucasians should do their duty of the work we would and are willing to be done that a people who are not in power many things that are not to our credit. God does not hear nd the K Ever Been a Men ing the affiliation of candi d this question to William didates for mayor. The Daily News took this stand in an honest effort to get at the truth, believing that there is but one influence in public life more reprehensible than the Klan itself, and that is the sinister figure who stalks about spreading rumors. The governments of at least six states in the Union still are floundering in the dismal swamp of bigotry, strife and personal hatreds as a result of the Klan in politics. On the eve of electing a mayor of the fifth largest city in the United States, the Daily News believed the public is entitled to more than gossip and rumor in determining the secret affiliations of candidates. In explaining its stand, to the two candidates, the Daily News said that it believed the Ku Klux Klan rumor should be brought out of the gutter and met fairly and squarely in the full light of day. hope to play a sincere as well as active part, we shall ask nothing of you except support of those measures which will result in the best interests of the community's welfare.

C. graduate, who has been teaching for the past term in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, will return home about June 1st. P. Miss Pryor said during her eight months on the eastern coast, she had made many friends among the big and broad hearted people, but after all she prefers the beautiful land of the Golden West. The people of Elizabeth City, regret very much to have Miss Pryor leave, as they fear she may not return, however, all her Los Angeles friends and relatives are glad to have her MY OPINION To The Editor. Dear Sir: As a citizen I have the right, and by your courtesy I welcome the opportunity to make known my opinion of the Rev. Mr. Shuler's address over the radio Thursday night of last week. I have for years read after the Rev. Mr. Shuler, and frequently have listened to him over the radio. At no time have I, altogether, agreed with or differed from him. He, like ourselves, poor mortals, is no angel, nevertheless he is fearlessly doing his bit to make the world better. His address last Thursday night, in the first place, as concerning himself, was, in my judgment, a frank, courageous, and unmistakable public presentation of his unlawable position in the matter of civic righteousness. Concerning our Colored people, he merely alluded to them, as such, by way of identification; but all through that address he spoke to the mass citizens, and as good citizens. Indeed, facts that were brought out in that address favorable to the Colored people were never before heard of. In this regard Mr. Shuler most rightly deserves the thanks of all the right-thinking people—particularly members of the Colored race, in whose praise he spoke. Although he is sometimes wrong, yet the people of experience, matured judgment and lovers of the truth cannot but honor Mr. Shuler for his candor and for his courage. About Mr. John C. Porter, who really was the bone and sinew of the address, I must say that of all the candidates who spoke before our interdenominational 'Ministers' Alliance he made the best impression, and was given unanimous commendation for his address to the ministers. While we did not break our rule in the matter of non-indorsement of any candidate, Mr. Porter, in departing, was acclaimed the next may of Los Angeles. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for assisting me in giving to the public my humble opinion, and commending your stand for law and order. Your fellow citizen. Pastor of, Bethel Baptist Church and Chairman of the Welfare Committee of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance. —Political Adv.— You wanna go places an' do things?
