“The wages of Sin is deat, but the
gilt of God is eternal life.”
ON LAST THURSDAY evening, as
the guest of Mr. and Mrs, Baldwin, we
attended a spread given by the Repub-
lican County Central’ Committee at
Civic Auditorium, Culver City.
_Mrs. Baldwin is 2 member of the
County Central Committee, and one
of its most active workers.
The auditorium was amply prepar-
ed for the accommodation of 660 per-
sons, and the feast for the occasion
was prepared and served by none oth-
ef than Mrs. Lula Bunch of Pasacena,
who, with her corps of about thirty
waiters gave service that was par ex-
cellent
The speakers were Col. Fowler,
Frank Merryman and that dynamic
Joseph Scott, ali of whom addressed
the body on timely topics touching po-
litical situations of the past, present
and future.
_Lol. Fowler paid his respeets to the
Community newspapers present, prais
ing them for service rendered and ex-
tolling them to go forward with the
good work in behalf of the Grand Old
Republican Party.

such as drawing watec and hewing
wood is growing scarce for him: since
even those who seek these occupations
are forming combinations; realizing
that, according to the ancient axiom—
“In union there is strength.”
About a year ago we went forth as
a feeler along the Avenue checking
Negro business. We had travelled
but a few blocks when the painful
realization came upon us, like a shroud
of mist cutting short our vision from
the hills of hope towards which we
wert journeying. We coald aot help
but notice that in the establishment of
business, on the part of members of
our group that there was no thought
of co-operation, or even discretion,
for that imatter. In one block there
were, in some cases, four and five
small caies none of which hac busi-
ness enough to pay expenses, but about
all each cou'd do, was to keep the
other iellow from succeeding.
Why pick om the cafes? Well, this
was, and is, not only true with the
cafe busine-s, but true in all cases
where Negroes are engaged in bu-i-
ness—they do not study the situation,
and decide as to what line is crawded
according to the population from
which they must expect support—in-
stead, upon entering 2 new field they
find Mr. A and Mr. B succeeding in
the grocery business and instead of
occiding upon a meat market or some
other line, Mr. Business Adventurer
readily concludes: “Well, if Mr. A
can make the grocery business yo, so

THE NEGRO
BY MENTIS CARRERE
CITIZENSHIP AND THE NEGRO
(By MENTIS CARRERE)
Are American Negroes citizens of
the United States?
Webster's Intérnational Dictionary
defines a citizen as follows: An in-
‘habitant of a city or town, especially
one who enjoys its FREEDOM and
PRIVILEGES. A member of a Stete:
4 person native or naturalized, of
either sex. who cwes allegiance to 2
government, and is entitled to rect
procal PROTECTION from it.
Negroes do not enjoy freedom in
the sense that other races enjoy it
and, wherever they reside, certain
privileges are denied them. Negroes
are loysl to the American Govern
ment but do not receive the same pro-
tection #3 do other races. Civil
rights are denied and property rights
and there is mot always personal
safety in che same proportion as en-
Joyed by other races uncer this gov.

When freedom and rivileges are
denied and when protection is not
given, there is no tie to bind govern-
ment and human beings. Ameri¢en
Negroes find themselves in jist such
& position. They are noi protected
at all times, therefore not obligated
to the government under which they
live, at all times. We are, therefore,
forced to the egpclusion that Ameri

‘The fact that ‘the Unnea states hds

rnment has used mules and horses

backbone of this country. especially
in the South. does not make them

to plough and harrow land.
‘The Emencipation Proclamation’ of

YEARS TO TURN THE TRICK
Chicago, Feb. 11. (By A. N. P.)—Excited discussion of the
details of the King-Pulsifer romance and its legal seqcel, im
which Mrs. Ella King, a colored woman, a sort of common-law
wife of John T. Pulsifer, rich member of the Chicago Board of
Trade, had been sustained in her possession of $500,000 of the
white man’s estate, was interrupted here early this week when
it became known that a new suit in a new case had been filed
by white persons to annul the marriage of Mrs. Dolly Gardner,
a colored woman, to James Banks, wealthy white Georgian.
said to be one million dollars. The
suit has been brought by a white man,
Joseph M. Lillie, a Caicago business
‘Man, in behalf of Mrs. Fonnie Banks
Calloway, sister of James Banks.
The bill asserts that Idanks was
suffering from senile dementia and
was in the hands of a2 scheming wo
man when he made the marriage
vows. After the women became his
wife, the bill alleges. she exercised
wiles to have him sign over to her
management his Georgia plantations,
Florida orange groves and Cook Coun.
ty real estate, with detriment to the
valye of the properties.
~ Mrs Banks is now 39 years old. Her
Husband will be eighty In August.
They were married in Chicago, July
7, 1927. Eefore thet time they had
for the ereater part of forty-two
years in various cities of Gecrzia and
Flerida, but principally in atanta.
Mr. Bagks is not strictly a Georgian
his father was a Connecticut Yankee
who married a southern girl and went
south to live. He made shoes for sok
diers of the Confederate Army. He
converted the scrip with which he
was paid into profitable real estate.
Ts present Mr, Banks inherited much
of that fortune and has added to it.
He is 4 graduate of Yale University
and the Hervard University Law
School. For many years he was sec
retary to the late Benjamin Hill.
United States senator from Georgia.
He bad a distinguished career at the
Atlanta bar and was 2 director in
leading business~ concerns.

Her mother cooked for the Banke
family which was then living in a
house on the site of the present
Howard theater in Atlante. That was
nearly 45 years ago. After falling in
Jove with the girl, Banks had a home
built for her on the corner of Wil.
liams and Pine Streets to which he
made regularly and frequent visite
until complaints were made by neigh-
-bors.
At one time, Mrs. Banks, then Dolly
Gardner, sought to get away from her
rich lover and married a colored man,
named Stroud. But this marriage
was not successful, and after living :n
the north for a while, Stroud was div.
orced and she returned to her rich
lover in Georgia, where on account of
the laws against intermarriage, she
could not marry him.
‘A few years ago, while stist in Geor-
gia, the present Mrs. Banks. as Dolly
Gerdmer Stroud, had property to. the
‘amount of $150,000 improved. All the
work was done in her mame. A rough
list of this property included: eight
houses on Pulliam Street, six houses

For my soul will be at rest.

I am going back to dust.
Friendly earth will bid me welcome

Will assist the undertaker
Grass will soon grow over my grave
Grass will soon grow o'er my grave.
Flowers and trees which now surround me
Will be living still no doubt
And my pets, Oh, how they'll miss me
And the press will check me out.

I will simply be a name.

They stood up in Mr. Doyle's nice seats and yelled at the Olympic Tuesday night when out on his own feet Billy Townsend knocked out Armand Santiago, famous Cuban star.
They screamed, pawed the air and acted like madmen as first the white boy then the colored boy hit the canvas then stood quiet open mouthed, and agaast at the puzzling and surprising ending to a combat more thrillingly gripping than the ancient gladiorial duels in the Roman Coliseum.
Revealing at the start of the first round that it was to be a desperate duel of T. N. T. loaded gloves, the boys fought like demons with Armand the best boxer and Billy somewhat the hardest socker. He took the first but the cool lightning fast Santiago took the second and third slowed down and lost the fourth then took the fifth and sixth.

Eagle Tennis Tournament Scheduled
Following its own precedent of promoting and encouraging out-door sports among the young men and women athletes of the race the California Eagle will hold an all city tennis tournament Saturday and Sunday March 1st and second. The last one sponsored by it drew wide attention and beautiful sups and medals were tendered the winners from the Lincoln stage. There will be equally valuable prizes hung up this year.
All prospective entrants should begin practicing and make entry with the Eagle Sports Editor.
This was the climax and the startling end of the Olympic's greatest battle.
Townsend his face cut to ribbons and whole body covered with blood was helpless near the end of this round as Armand beat away at his covered face and head. He went down for a nine, Armand rushed him dropped him again for a no count and coming up swinging he caught the brown Antellean on the side of the head just at the bell. Reefing to his corner he sat down and then fainted dead away, out like a candle. Meanwhile Townsend's seconds worked feverishly, and he was ready at the bell, but Santiago was not, so Billy's hand was raised for a technical knockout. It took fully five minutes more for the combined efforts of Frank Churchill, Johnny Forbes, Olympic seconds and Dr. Mace to bring Armand back to consciousness.
Sanity Seaman beat Sid Torres in the special. Jimmy Hanna. beat Eddie BurubMrook in the semi and the fans left clamoring for a return match between Santiago and Towisend.

Sammy Jackson At
Eastside Arena
Rah, Rah, Rah, Sammy, knock 'im out goes the singing yell from "Samohi" and Central Avenue rooting sections when Sammy Jackson the most popular colored boy in the whole wide wall flashes across the Olympic ring. This hands one, gentlemanly 19 year old kid will meet Monday night at the Eastside Arena attempt to solve the hardest problem of his career in Matty Mario. Confidence without over confidence will stand him in good stead against Matty who has made a good record of wins in the east. Sammy has plenty of that, good boxing skill and judgement enough to out-box a slugger or out slug a boxer as the case demands. In a year of fighting this boy has won over fifty battle at Ocean Park, Wilmington and the Olympic, making him fit stablemate of Goldie Hess and Johnny Torres. A good supporting card is lined up by matchmaker Pop Berret.
Dynamile Jackson At Olympic Auditorium
When Dynainite Jackson swam through the rip tide at Santa Monica last summer to save a drowning girl he did not meet any tougher opposition than he will meet next Tuesday night at the Olympic Auditorium in Les Kenedey the big white boy whose rights spelled K. O. to most of his opponents last year.
This is due to be one of the best heavyweight battles of the year and means a lot to both them and the public clamoring for some real championship contenders.
A loss by Kenedey settles the Frankie Campbell argument, and a win by Jackson means an early eastern tour with his discoverer and astute manager, Wirt Ross.
An unusually good supporting card is lined up by matchmaker Ward Wadhams.
Second Annual $100.00 Street Race Planned

(Captains Work That A Well Equipped Community Hospital Of The People By The People and For the People Shall Become A Reality In Los Angeles.)
A more than three score years ago Abraham Lincoln, the great Emancipator, gave his life to prove that a divided nation is a lost nation, so the church captains in the Great Community Hospital Association Campaign are giving of their time and labor to put the race as a unit behind the move to establish in Los Angeles a well equipped class "A" Community Hospital and Clinic.
Reports of work unequaled in any effort before come pouring into the Association offices at 1396 E. 15th St. every day. Captains are not confining themselves to selicitations' of dimes or dollars but are asking for and receiving large substantial pledges of $25.00 and $50.00.
CAPTAINS WORK TO BRING HONOR TO CHURCH The individuals in this unusually unseifish aggregation of captains care little for the individual prize that is being offered by the Association but each of them is anxious to see their church's the stage of the impressive ceremony that is to take place in the church that wins the campaign. So let all friends and members come to the aid of his church and its captain and do his part in this great work.

Negro Music Belongs To Africa; Indian Music Only American Music, Says Chief
MEMPHIS, Feb. 12—"American Indians music is the real folk music of America, not the Negro spirituals, which rightfully belong to the wilds of Africa," Chief Kintus Tecumseh told reporters for the Commercial Appeal in an interview while visiting here.
Tecumseh is a tenor and a radio announcer and claims to be a direct descendant of Tippecanoe Tecumseh, famed in American history.
"The American public does not appreciate the artistic talents of the Indians," he claimed, "for the Indian voice is the only one in the United States that is not represented on phonograph records.
"Nor do you find Indian actors on the stage, concert platform or in the movies. Directors prefer to paint a white man up for the red man's part which could so much better be protracted by an Indian. Although the Indians are an artistic race, they are living in a commercial world and should be given a fair chance to make a livelihood in that world. As yet, they are not accepted in business on an equal footing with the white man."

THE EAGLE'S EYE IS ON YOU
By JAMES S. HARRIS, JR.
Chief of Police Roy E. Stetckei, so far, has made some very wise moves in the re-organization of the Police dept. in the line of a general snake-up-ute. But as yet he has failed to replace Sergeant E. F. Adams (white) of the Newton Head division with a Negro head. Not only that, Stetckei has failed to even place a negro squad on viceetail in this division. We have no fault to find with Adams, but since the Newton Division is in the heart of the so-called black-belt, and Negroes apparently predominate in this section, it would seen that Negro officers should at least be assigned to this particular detail if not put at the head. Since the big graft expose, Negro officers have not been assigned to this particular line of duty why? Americans still have immutable confidence in Negro police officers.
We would like to congratulate Lieutenant F. F. Stevens of the Los Angeles Police Dept., formerly Lieutenant head of Police personnel division at Central, now Lieutenant in command of Georgia St. Police Station, on this recent promotion. We have the highest regard for Stevens as an officer and as a man.
There are a lot of crooks left yet in the Police dept. that haven't even been scared up. Let's have a clean-up that will rock the annals of history and rise and soar on the wings of the morning as a living monument to justice and common decency. Not so much the men who get the one fourth as the men who got the three fourths.
The Rev. Bob Shuler, the broadcasting pastor, in a special the other night over the radio, denounced Sheriff Wm. I. Traeger as a candidate for re-election for Sheriff of Los Angeles County in the coming election, on the grounds that Sheriff Traeger is a firm disbeliever in the observance of the 18th Amendment and local Wright Act. Is this true, Sheriff Traeger? We hardly think so.
Our city council is great on expending money in various ways for improvement but it has failed to improve Asot Ave. from 53rd to Shannon. This street is a disgrace to Los Angeles.
James W. Taylor, white, who ran over and killed little Walter Hawkins, 8 year-old colored school boy on Feb. 6, will have to stand trial on maulslaughter according to the inquest verdict held on Feb. 8th. He was adjudged guilty of apparent negligence in driving his automobile at the inquest. His preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 18. Div. 3.

citizens of this country. As long as Texas and Georgia and a dozen other American Commonwealth, can lynch Negroes and the United States Government, when appealed to, says it has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of state governments, yet assumes to have the right to interfere with the internet affairs of independent countries like Haiti and Nicaragua, we are again compelled to say that Negroes are not full citizens of the United States.
Citizens are not asked to pay first-class fares to public carriers and then forced to travel in some cases, a little better than cattle, but Negroes are. Citizens are not taxed to carry on the expense of government and then denied the use of public libraries, public parks, public schools, public beaches, and other places of public recreation, but in some parts of this country Negroes are.
Citizens have the right to occupy well as buy, property. Do Negroes always have that right? Not if we refer to and accept, court decisions recording property purchased by certain Negroes in Washington, D. C., and the California Supreme Court decisions on certain property purchased by Negroes in Los Angeles. Denying one the right to use that which he possesses is, in reality, denying him the right to possess.
We cannot blame the United States Government nor our various state and municipal governments for the ill-treatment of the American Negro. These governments are formed and administered by the same race that illtreats us. It is an advantage to them, and we cannot expect men to discontinue a practice that proves of benefit to them.
It is entirely up to the Negroes themselves to eliminate the injustices that they daily complain of. This however, cannot be done by begging for funds for social purposes and at the same time organize to fight our benefactors. That method antagonizes and increases contempt for Negroes.
American Negroes must roll up their sleeves and go to work for themselves. But before Negroes will be in a position to work for themselves, they must go to work on themselves. We must change our psychology. We must know the difference between racial progress and racial makeshift. To illustrate: To institute a system of necessity control and support that system is racial progress. To beg for and obtain jobs in white business in Negro neighborhoods, without making any attempt to capture our own trade is racial makeshift.
If we would be citizens we must make ourselves such. We must accomplish something and that something must be fundamental. But, you say, review the history of the race and see what it has accomplished in the last 65 years. You point with pride to the race's accomplishments in religion, medicine, law, and other professions. You are happy because black men have held minor diplomatic posts and assistant government jobs. You get all puffed up when you think of our educational institutions, lodges and literary titles. Negroes might just as well come to a realization of the fact that fine churches and Negro diplomats do not make a race of people citizens. Furthermore, the race that has made gains in professions that serve mankind and has made no provisions to employ and otherwise care for its masses, has not accomplished anything. Whatever institutions we build, whatever professions we encourage our folks to obtain, whatever religion we have and encourage, must be supported by the masses, and when the masses are not provided for in the way of employment, our institutions of learning, churches, professional men and wo-
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION
JOE BAILEY
One of the most important questions in the lives of the majority of the American families today is money. It takes money to survive. To get that necessity one must do something to earn it. Some people earn more than others, but everyone of us, while we ase able, earn something in order to live.
The smart men and women, while they are on their feet, PROTECT THEIR EARNING POWER against that time when they might be down and not able to work. How do they do that? Why, they buy THAT PROTECTION in the form of INSURANCE: they carry Health and Accident Policies, to assure them of a steady income in case of illness or an accident; Endowment Policies to assure them of a lump sum of money in their advanced age; Straight Life Insurance to ease the burden on their loved ones at death. The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Giant of the West, has just the Policy to Protect you, and yours and Joe Bailey, their agent, will gladly call upon you at your convenience and go over with you, and explain to you all of the different forms of Policies, thereby helping you to select the form that is best suited to your need.

men suffer as a result
It may be alright to be proud of our accomplishments in the last 65 years, but what is needed is a sincere study of our weak spots. It is one thing to recte what we have done in the past, but quite another thing to earn a living in these modern times. It is one thing to obtain literary and professional titles, but something else to create employment for the masses. TWENTY-SEVEN—I. S.
so as to make the best use of our training and ability.
Of all our weak spots the weakest and most unforgettable act is our utter failure to support Negro representative business in Negro neighborhoods. This weakness is not confined to the illiterate and unthinking masses but more so among our professional men and women, yea, even our business men, social workers and spiritual leaders.
I am afraid that the Negroes do not know themselves, except only superficially. That, perhaps, is one of the reasons that we overlook our manifest opportunities.
If we are to become full citizens we must know our true selves and our possibilities, develop channels of outlet for our abilities, establish and support co-operative business. In this way we will develop strength and power, which is the only source of full citizenship, and build for posterity.
Silver Fox Industry
BY CARL ECHOLS
Just when and where the eyes of man first rested on the glorious Silver Fox, history does not record. Almost three centuries—perhaps longer—have passed sincethen.
Let us picture some pioneer huntsman, clad in buckskins, with a queer old fligtlock musket in his hand and a powder horn dangling at his belt. Almost soundlessly he swings through the snow-covered forest, with keen eyes alert both for game and savage foes.
Suddenly, he pauses and gazes, just ahead a Fox crosses his path. What a beautiful creature. Its fur is black and sprinkled with silver.
An instant—and the wonder Fox is gone.
The hunter later learned that he has seen a Silver Fox, and his brain treated with plans to capture a pair of them and breed them. This has been done, and the Silver Fox industry is the result.
From small beginnings great enterprises have often developed to contribute to the happiness of man.
The purpose of these articles is that the public may be informed of this booming new industry.
Until very recent years, the Silver Fox was classed as a caprice of nature, and was an extremely elusive animal, appearing only occasionally among the wild, red species—just as a black sheep often mysteriously appears in a flock of white ones.
Some of these rare animals were finally captured alive. Years have been spent in experimenting with them, and to quote the United States Bureau of Agriculture, "The Silver Fox fur industry is the greatest fur industry today." (Bulletin No. 1151)
The industry is valued so highly that the United States government has established several experimental fur farms in the mountains of northern New York.
Dr. J. T. Whittaker, of Pasadena, California, realizes the great possibilities this industry holds in store for the Negro. He has invested close to $200,000 in it and is making it possible for his race to share his financial success.

a notable address, it was so in many respects, he not only made one of the best addresses which one would want to hear, he said some might interesting things. There were some powerful politicians present and believe us when we say we gave them something to think about.
Tyler in his most forceful and eloquent manner depicted the unjust, ungrateful manner in which the group has been subjected by way of recognition.
NOT ONE REPRESENTATIVE APPOINTMENT IN 25 YEARS
No governor in California in 25 years has seen fit to give to the colored voters a representative appointment; he thundered and still they have the consummate nerve to call upon us for support. Attorney Tyler's speech was the high spot of the evening. He received an ovation.
JUDGE CARLOS HARDY THERE
Judge Carlo Hardy's introduction
scholarship provided by Miss Mary Crissman of Denver, Colo. And so began the period of Miss McLood's training, which took her through the Moody Bible Institute at Chicago, and finally resulted in her being appointed a teacher in Haines Institute at Agusta, Georgia, and association with that rare spirit, Miss Lucy C. Laney, who was principal there.
So a few years rolled by, which brought her marriage to Albert Bethune, a teacher, and a lone son, Albert McLood Bethune. Afterward five years were spent at Palatka. Mrs. Bethune went to Datona, with $1.50 in her pocket-book; then the occurrence of the scene described at the beginning of this sketch, and the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School, with Mary Bethune at the helm, stood sea-worthy out on the educational deep.
In 1923 the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute was merged with Cookman Institute of Jacksonville, and became coeducational. It was placed under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church, but its founder is still the guiding spirit, still the active factor in the main equation of its progress.
Perhaps no woman of her race has given herself more unselfishly and fearlessly toward securing the highest good of her people; and certainly none has excelled her in using the peculiar force of personality for the common good, and for the good of her institutin.
During the summer of 1927, friends and admirers of Mrs. Bethune, so impressed with the splendid work she had done at Daytona Beach, and desirous of having her vision broadened by travel, gave her a trip to Europe—England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Holland and Switzerland—during which time she spent eight full weeks studying the peoples and customs of the old country. She was honored in many lands. She was received by the Lord Mayor and Mayoress of London. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Lady McLeod of Scotland, and was given a special blessing by the Pope, an honor that can hardly be equalled. And indeed Mrs Bethune's vision was broadened by her trip, and if such a thing were possible, her personality made more impelling.
Mrs. Bethune is uniring in her efforts for the uplift of humanity, especi-
was the great big event of the banquet. Upon his introduction he received a magnificent ovation. The applause and cheering lasted for several minutes. He was deeply touched by his reception which was plainly evident as he proceeded to speak upon the life of Abraham Lincoln.
City Attorney E. P. Werner was the recipient of a big hand when introduced likewise his wife. Mrs. E. P. Werner. Senator McKinley, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Chief Roy E. Steckel, Hon. Keith Carlion, Attorney Smith, Mrs. Everett Latham, were among the speakers. Also Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, Dr. W. C. Gordon, Mrs. A. Hill, C. A. Bass, Norman A. Houston, Hon. Snapper Ingram, Mrs. J. M. Edwards, Dr. E. R. Driver, Titus Alexander, Corinne Smith, Mrs. O. E. Wilson, Dr. T. L. Griffith, J. W. McGregor, Attorney Ella M. Atchley.
A pantomine of Freedom was also presented for the delectation of those present.

ally to her race; and into her work she injects the beauty an dimpelling force of a singular, unusual and drawing personality, that is making her work felt and recognized the country over.
That same dauntless spirit and courage that has replaced the little cabin by a plant conservatively estimated at $600,000, comprised of fourteen buildings, characterizes her actions today. The confidence of the public has been kept, as is evidenced by the fact that for twenty-three years the school has been mainly maintained by public subscriptions—true evidence of personality.
Prayer, toil, and personality have built an institution, that has for its main object the saving of the youth—and Mary Bethune's work has not and will not be in vain—"for their works do follow them."

Police Officers Conway and Clark Capture Highwaymen
(Continued from Page One)
first hanging on a Monday in the state Prison records of Calif. Americans are very proud of these two Negro police officers. It has been said, "Heights of great men rested and kept, were not attained by a sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night." It is obvious that Clark and Conway both have adhered to this, for they come up through the ranks and have perpetuated themselves in Police Aunals.
Det. Lieutenant E. L. Conway is originally from Houston, Texas where he attended and finished the public schools of that city with honors. He later attended Wiley University tentative a Medical course at Meharry Medical College. He won for himself untold recognition during the time he spent at Meharry Medical College (over two/years), but stimulated by a desire to see the wave washed shores of California and the lity peaks of Whiteney he came to California in 1920 he was appointed to the Police Dept. in 1921 as a patrolman. Working his way up through the ranks, he was promoted to acting Lieutenant Det. attached to the Newton Division in 1925 where he is at present. He is a
prominent member of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, 8th and San Julian St, and of the Elks. He is also a member of the 25th Infantry which went overseas during the World War. Conway is rated among the substantial citizens of Los Angeles. And with his genial personality has made himself felt in a very tangible way by all who know him.
Detective Lieutenant J. W. Clark, Senior and superior officer of the two, has been in our midst for over 20 years. Many of us remember when he used to walk a beat on the Westside of town where he lives. Stepping with measured tread and even procession into the night, a huge moving, solid mass of human phenomena. He was appointed to the Police Dept. in 1917 as a patrolman. Working his way up through the ranks he was promoted to Det. Lieutenant attached to the Newton division, in 1925 where he still remains. He is a prominent member of Second Baptist Church 24th and Griffith; Masons, Elks, Past Treasurer of Odd Fellows and was attached to the 25th Infantry overseas in the World War. He also is one of the few negro police officers who has won distinction for sharpshooting. He has an enviable record in this respect as well as in many other respects. He draws prize money or bonuses each month for this qualification. Clark is quite versatile for besides his ability as a police officer, he holds his own on a saxophone and has been very distinguished in the sporting world, having performed at Knoxville College, at Knoxville, Tenn., where he is originally from, in football and baseball. He also held the Pacific Coast' Tennis Championship in men's doubles, with his partner Byron Kenner (now in the Post Office in this city), at one time. Even now in his spare time he can be seen on the tennis court swinging the old cat gut. He is ranked also as one of the substantial citizens of Los Angeles. His personality is such that it is a pleasure to be around him. He is truly carving his name in the hearts of men.

DURING the short time that this new model has been on the market its popularity has broken all records. We have found it quite impossible to keep a supply on hand from one shipment to the next. Its tremendous popularity, however, is not due alone to the fact that it is radio's most marvelous value...or because it is the lowest priced perfected screen-grid set ever made...but principally because of its unprecedented performance. Its tremendous power produces results never before attained by any radio in this community. You should really make it a point to see and hear this radio today. It is truly a revelation!

these two articles, why, beg. buy, bor-
row or steal these two issues ard read
?em, Youse might learn something;
believe it or not.
At present, there are three news-
papers and a magazine serving the
wants of the colored citizenry, We
don't _know how well each is doing
but God knows, if the public don't
that no inore are needed. We make
mention of this because the political
pot is beginning to boil and the usu-
al political parasites with a desire to
gamer a few dimes from the office
seekers’ pockcts are getting reacy to
edit their usual fly-by-night, hit-and-
miss-it, weekly editions. If ever those
journals now running ever had a bet-
ter cause for getting together it's
now. Roll call, please!
As usual we find pupils at Jeffer-
son High being persuaded into taking
a Domestic Science course instead of
a "What Not Course”, such as book-
keeping, stenography, or business. If
you have your mind made up. stick to
it. Negro business is iast_ making op-
portunities for the boy or girl equip-
ped with educated brains, We can't
all be business folks, but on the other
hand darn if that's a good excuse why
we should all be cooks, said Colonel
Dandridge, whose neice is successiul-
ly preparing herself to be a certifies

We notice an imported character
from Italy, one Primo Carnera, being
paraded before the pugilistic * world
here in America and hailed asthe
coming heavyweight champion. May
be by folks, { -ay maybe; that's the fu-

and that is this. if that King of Spades.
known as George Godirey is shuffled
in the deck of set-ups he’s now meet-

gentleman and instructed to fight and
not pull his punches, the sun will nev-

the mistakes of others, not to ese hy

ed on that principle generally speak-
ing. This is a practical age where
economic organization is a necessity
Ti hie Negro does not organize ceo:

Gradually economic conditions. are
becoming more critical for unorganiz~

increasing in numbes. There is a lim

Dear Eidtor
In looking over the paper vou sent
I noticed several things that forcably
impressed my aticntion. One was the
item quoting David H. Dierce of
Clevelana as saying that the Negroes
will make gresicr sires politically and
socially but will show a deciine mi his
religions zeal and he crowded farther
and farther ou oi the economic pic-
ture. Fhis particularly impressed me
as it is in Lune with my own conelu-
Sons after summing up "the present
trends of our modern social and eco-
nomic organizatiqn., It is ouite evi-
dent that the Negro must decline eco=
nomtcally because the white man is
steadily undergoing the same decline
and the Negro being outnumbered 10
to I must bear the heavier burden, The
only thing that could change this con-
cition would be the economic revelu-
tion with a complete readjustment of
all economic factors, and that we may
fecl pretty sure will not’ becur in this
country in cur generation at least. I
noted also exhortations to the Negroes
to boycott the white business and
Dnild up their own race's prosperity
Yes, that might work if the Negro
were seli-sustaining and did not have
to look toward the white race for its
revans of fivlihood, Picture to your-
self the situation if all Negroes should
try this scheme The white race
would boycott the Negro out of all
employment with white people! Seme-
times the same shoe fits two feet!
Also how can the Negro who is in
the minority and vastly outnumber-
ed by the white and other elements
expect to enjny prosperity. if the
white population grows increasingly
pourer as is the present and increas.
ing tendency? Hf the Negro should
as a class attain a degree of prosper-
ity would not that create jealousy. in
the poorer white element ang lead to
race riots and massacres on “such a
large scale that the state and federal
governments would have to ignore if
not wink at them? 1 think that if
the lessons of history are a warning
for the future this should be a_very
patent fact. The race has suffered
much but I icel that it must, as things
are, undergo a further crucifixion
alongside of its white brethren, We
do not always like to face the naked
truth ,bug truth has a compelling way
and sooner or later we must. So if
eventually, Why not Now? Another
thing [ noted, in W. J. Wheaton's
Comments, was a very outspoken race
prejudice against Filipinos. Is. that
consistent? Why should not the Fil-
ipinos be employed by Americans Es-
pecially since they are forcably and
somewhat unwillingly being held un-
ler cur flag while our big intetests are
exploiting the wealth of their coun-
ry? If the above comments seem tn
the nature of criticisms remember
that you invited them.
Sincerely.

Sunday, February 9th, was one of the most outstanding Lincoln-Douglas programs ever given at the Forum. It will live in the minds of those who attended for many years to come of the greatness of these three immortal men—Lincoln, Douglas ane, John Brown—who were at that time three of the unique characters in that trying period of the great Civil War.
Mr. J. C. Banks, Mrs. Sadie Cole and Mr. Bass, each gave to the audience their best to the memory of these three immortal men. Mr. J. Thomas Norris, one of the charter members of the Forum, in a few remarks returned thanks to the speakers in the wonderful manner they delivered their topics and also said that it was the best Lincoln-Douglass program he ever attended.
At the conclusion of the program the President requested the audience to stand one minute in silent prayer for these three departed martyrs. Everyone left well pleased with the wonderfully conducted program.

The third Sunday in March promises to be a red letter day in the history of Calvary Baptist church, when Rev Rozier and his congregation together with several of the leading pastors and their congregations, will preach and worship with us the entire day, the occasion being the installation of the newly elected officers of the church in their various offices.
We are asking our friends to worship with us on this day and help us to
make it a memorial occasion.
On last Sunday we had with us Rev. B. C. Baptist, who preached for us at the morning and evening services in an able and masterful way. Everybody seemed to have been filled with the blessings of our Saviour.
The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were well attended and the lessons were very interesting and ably discussed. They ask you to be with them on the third Sunday in March.

LIBRARY NOTES
National Drama Week is being celebrated this week. February the ninth to the fifteenth, by women's clubs, schools and little theatre groups. The Helen Hunt Jackson and Vernon Branch Libraries are featuring special displays of books on the drama. "The Best Plays of 1928-29," which is edited by Barns mantle has just been received. No book is more eagerly anticipated each year than this annual volume which bears the name of Mantle because this widely known theatrical critic reviews the plays of the year in such a careful, dependable way.
"Street Scene," by Elmer Rice, is one of the outstanding successes of the New York season and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for 1929. It gives a remarkable picture of teenage life in a brown-stone Manhattan apartment building that has seen better days. We view the comedy and tragedy of daily life played to the accompaniment of rumbling elevated trans- and the boosting of the river whistles.
"The Front Page," by Ben Heet and Charles MacArthur is a drama of an entirely different nature. It is a rowdy, hard-jawed flaying farce about newspaper reporters. The play takes place in the preschool of the Chicago Criminal Courts Building. No doubt the authors have written more humor, speed, and caricature into three hours than the average newspaperman experiences in three months but they have stuck closely enough to reality to make this breathless melodrama, as a whole seem like little more than an extraordinary piece of good newspaper reporting. It is a thriller and good entertainment.
The current attraction at the Belasco theatre, "Journey's Eno," is a great war play that has stirred even Broadway. It is a personal drama with year as a background and deals with the tragedy of several English officers in a dug-out some seventy yards from the German trenches. The essence of the play is fear and waste—and the study of the kinds of courage that brought men through.

On Sunday evening, February 9th the famous choir of First A. M. E. church 8th and Towne Ave., sang to 7000 people at Angelus Temple. This choir, which is the winners of the famous Hollywood Bowl choir contest in 1926, thrilled the mammoth audience to such an extent that they were asked to remain after the regular services and give a national hook-up broad-cast, which they did. Mrs. Emma Smith dramatic soprano, Mr. Emanuel Hall, gospel soloist, Mr. Nathaniel Smith, reader and Mr. Jess Brooks, baritone, appeared in special numbers. So many requests were phoned in that it was impossible to sing them all in one evening, so the choir is to fill another engagement at Angelus Temple soon. Angelus Temple choir occupied the choir loft at 8th and Towne and was, received by a large audience. The occasion was Inter-racial week and the exchaneg of the two choirs was arranged in honor of that event.
Atty, and Mrs. W. O. Tyler accompanied 8th and Towne choir to Angus Temple.
The pastor of 8th and Towne, Rev. J. B. Isaacs was highly pleased with the work of his choir and commends them to the highest for their efforts.

Chicago, Ill., Feb. 12- Although for nearly two years the local daily newspapers have carried account of intermittent acts of violence and bitter quarreling within the confines and among the members of the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Evanston, a Chicago suburb, the real nature of all the trouble is just coming to light the medium of investigations that have been made at the direction of the attorney representing the so-called faction first has been getting all the bad breaks. During the period of the factional differences of the members of this confession there have been freequent reports of head cracking, chair throwing, hat wielding, arrests, charges, and counter charges, and of the part played in this serio-comic drama of church strife by the police, the magistrates and the courts.
But it now transpires, if information obtained this week is to be believed, that the real influences at work have been hidden and that only their removal or destruction will bring peace back to Zion.
The attorney in the case has been J. Gray Lucas, a rather patriarchal luminary and former member of the Arkansas legislature. The investigator, recently employed, is Sheridan A. Brusaux, principal of the detective agency hearing his name.
The claim is made by Mr. Lucas that throughout the entire affair the larger element of right and justice has been on his side. His clients, he says, represent the majority of the church membership, the more substantial elements, and have been the chief ones to suffer, through knocks bruises and incarcerations to date. But he believes that Mr. Brusseaux has discovered the causes for the persistent ruckus. The patient names for these causes are politics and business.
White political and business interests in the suburban community, Mr. Lucas believes, have set the members of the church at war one another, and have sought to oust the Rev. C. A. Long, its worthy and long-suffering pastor, in order to get rid of the church.
The political motive is said to abide in the fact that at the last mayoralty election, the Rev. Mr. Long opposed the present city executive, and carried the electoral subdivision in which the church is located against the mayor now. Mr. Lucas believes, the mayor is interested in destroying the political influence of the church which was against him and is lending the aid of his magistrates and policemen to a small, minority faction of the church congregation in an effort to drive from the church the pastor and his followers.
Business interests find a motive in the location of the church which is on a site attractive for business. Of course, they want to buy the church and put business where it is. If these business men do business with Rev. Long, they have learned that they will have to pay his price. It is more than they want to pay. Therefore, why not abolish and sustain a minority group which can seize the church illegally, and will be willing to sell after it has possession for a much smaller sum than the Rev. Mr. Long would.
This minority is said to be led by a man who was formerly the church janitor and became angered when he was discharged.
Mr. Lucas points out that this faction has won every legal skirmish so far, including the fact that in a church meeting presided over by a master of

chancery, the Rev. Mr. Long was re-elected as the pastor.
He also believes it is significant that although Rev. Long has been persecuted and arrested unjustly by agents of the city administration, the perpetrators of these injustices to the pastor have been unable to sustain any charges against him.
Recently, one of the minority faction arrested, charging perjury in connection with the charges mace against the pastor. These five men were: Sam Cash, James Allen, Alonzo Herd, Louis Carter, and Saunders Davis.
The court action involving these men and that involving the minister is all due to come to a head shortly.

H. K. BLACKSTONE SINKING FAST IN GENERAL HOSPITAL
H. K.狄基石, one of the old
timers of this district, in the Pollutant
service was reported to be in a very
prosperous and critical condition at
the time this article was written last
week. Mr. Blackstone's chance of
living was corrupted to be entirely de-
pended upon a blod or insultation
with his hosts, a right for amour
of tortures.
Mr. Blackstone has been ill for con-
currence with no other medical will now
and then with a short while be-
came enough to allow him to go to work for any
length of time, a short while be-
came enough to allow him into Glen-
land, and a short while be-
came enough to allow him into Glen-
land. How he was admitted to the work
was not failed to call first for a visit
to the house, between the two and
death the ketter, well known in
art and culture of Los Angeles.
H. E. WASHINGTON RECEIVES
HIGH, HONOR
H. W. Winston was selected as one of the first of the Sapphire Princes of the Right Duchess of York. His songs to the Queen were the best known in Mary's on the 17th of Jan. 1800. His albums were from San Diego, from Baldy's field, and on from Fresno.
The heir of the Right Duchess of York had a long and distinguished life with honour and treasured family.

There is onething that if we
must not understand what our boat is
built. Last week it was waiting
for the little disk" one at Central
and Jefferson, and in the house n. n.
momen in these conferences to gather.
He ambled over, and was
turning my tilt to find out tracks on
the roof of V. Tate's car loading from
the back of the car. Tate's window
in the back of the car. I wonder if
Tate is aware that perhaps have a

the cat tracks.
PRESIDENT TURNS DOWN OF

POPULAR ATTORNEY RE-
SENTS ARTICLE PUBLISH
ED ABOUT HIM
The writer is to be in indemnity letter last week from Attorney Co. Mr Murdock in regards to the writ, in which the column published about him or Jan. List. I am very sorry that Mr. Murdock took the writ as a slam on his integrity. It is not mistaken by the writer to do Mr. Murdock a favor to the list. The writer considers Mr. Murdock a very brilliant young man. As far as the question of it is dismonsest to be a Pullman Poster, I am afraid that my good friend did not quite see the full meaning of what I said. My contention was, that any lawyer/client could not possibly have the faith in an Attorney, who was spending the biggest part of his time working for the Pullman Co. or any other corporation in my estimation. A successful attorney must devote his entire time to his practice. I should be very glad if Mr. Murdock can cite me a few cases, wherein an attorney in active service for the Pullman Co. as a Pullman porter enjoys a large practice. That being the case. Tell me why, would a man continue being a servant on the road, under the present exigent conditions. However in fairness to Mr. Murdock, on the strength of the statement he has made to me in his letter, about attracting a large client during his six years of practice, all of whom knew his connections with the Pullman Co. I shall have to admit that in that particular respect in Mr. Murdock's case I was wrong. Further the ugly rumors that the writer had reference to which Mr. Murdock was a delegate, was meant and is meant by the writer to potray the fact, that the porters as a whole were very much dissatisfied with the report that Mr. Murdock as a dele-
gave brought back from the conference.
Whatever you intended when you wrote and published this article, the result has been that you have disparaged me in my profession, and I think you have, without just cause done me the greatest harm which is humanly possible to do a friend and co-worker.
The writer wishes to beg Mr. Murdock's pardon in the highest decree, so it was furthermore from his intentions to publish any thing whatsoever that would in the least way cast any reflection upon Mr. Murdock profession.
P. HICKS CELEBRATES WED-
DING ANNIVERSARY
Now the time has come, three years of business, harmonious billing and cooing, was the milk stone which our friend R. Hicks reached last week. No wonder he celebrated it, any young man that can stand up under the strain of bins in Pullman porter in his district, and a married man at the same time need to celebrate. May he continue to be the faithful husband in the future as he has been during the past three years.

Sparks was again the victim of burglars at his home, robbers entered starks in him while he was out and relieved him of three suits of clothes, this is the third time that starks has been picked out for such a raid. However one of the suits was recovered in a pawn shop, the thieves entrapped a suit case with T. D.'s Pullman uniform and equipment on the floor, which showed plainly that they had r. use for Pullman goods, and packed the suits away in the grip. Mr. starks is a very nice de ser, and so assume that the robbers were aware of this fact. However they left for his D. V. D.'s

MY EXPERIENCE WITH
MOVIE STARS
(CHAPTER SIX)
STARS LIVE HIGH IN OMAHA
Even though ready cash was very source among the stars, they lived lavishly while in the city of Omaha: The whole outfit had elegant rooms at a high class hotel in the heart of the city. Mr. De Vaax was supposed to foot the bills, and they stepped on the gas. Nothing was too good, but in the mean time, the maid and I was looking far ahead toward a rainy day, as we knew that this was not going to last very long. A dollar was a dol-
lar with us, and we made it do a dollars part. Ms. De Vaux was very fond of her dog, and always gave me a liberal amount of money to buy the dog's meals. Things got so tight, that his dog's money was the only surplus change in sight. And we soon came to the condition that the dog could share his feed 50-50 and have some to spare many is the time that the money for the dog helped to buy meals for us. That dog helped to save us many a dime.
concerned with the troop. The stair began to arrive at the car about 5:00. We were due to leave at 6 P.M. May 5, 5:30, everyone was on board. Daux and one of his assistants went into a hudle for quite a while, and seemed to be a little nervous in words to one of the stars. I soon found out who it was. And I shall never forget it.
MORE TROUBLE MISS HAVER
LEAVES FOR HOME
Miss Phyllis Haver, one of the biggest attractions of the trip through a bomb in to our party at Oranje about thirty minutes before leaving time, when she told Mr. De Voux that he was not going another stop for that on the trip, she had read a r-gram from her mother that their bombs in Hollywood had been robbed of several thousand dollars worth of dollars, and on top of that she had looked in the Oranje paper and read an account in big headlines of the military. That was enough, she had very bad cold in the bargin which did not bring things one bit. And although De Voux and the rest of the party headed with her not to leave, she was not required.
There was a old sepulchre to her cows and different things packed in. She called the maid, and two women dilled clothes in a white whoeled trunk in a hurry. She gave a maid a doll that her old daughter had given her a gift. It was out of sight until they put her trunks off and I cared of the last heroes in the dawn and that was the last we saw of her. I kind of wished it was the world I had left. But we knew that the old wife was soon coming, we lost. Our time, then what was it to be our last stand?
Every time we met our uncle in that room we were not so tired to meet Desmonds, and the maid and waiter who had a good rest during our stay in Omia we decided to make it so I was possible to write that first time we were on We had up and down the hall about lunchtime with with our cousins and we opened. We noticed, and it was clear that Mrs. De Vaux was not the maid in her company but her turn to the war she always did. But it was A. M. and she had not rang the door.
A FAMILY QUAREL
We were Omaha Mr. De Vaux with him in the dim light. But perhaps with whom had some words she came down to the room and she still away. She stood that she should wait with us until the end of the morning she would not take the room.

gone about an hour, and when he returned he was carrying a tray loaded with food of all description. I asked the waiter later on why he did not bring it back, and he told me that De Vaux had insisted on doing it himself. He did not want any one to see inside of his room. As soon as he had entered his compartment with the tray, We heard a terrific crash, and then some very loud and harsh words then the bell began to ring like fury. I told the child to stay where she was and I answered the bell. Mr. DeVaux came out the out of the compartment at the same time and went up in the club car.
When I entered that room, I almost dropped despite it was all over the floor, and gravity was all over the bed, and walls and tomateos and tops had done their stuff in two or three gowns that were wearing up. Men De Vexx was crying. I did not know where to stop in cleaning first. I noticed that all the pictures and shoe bags had fallen taken down and packed up, the only things that were left out was the things that were absolutely necessary. I figured right then and there, that the trip was going to end in the next city, and I knew also why they did not want any one to see in side of the room. The mind, curious to know what I was doing in the room so long, came and ran the bell. I was glad of it because I didn't know what to do or say to the women, and I was to busy picking up boiled potatoes to be bothered with a lot of sob stuff. The maid took the gowns and did the best she could with them, and I came out and left her in their, and beave me she found out all the dope she could while she was in the room was called in later on to change the bed. And after we were again alone on them, she told me that Ms. De Vexx was an arcy with the old man, she had looked the whole tray of food of his hands, she said she was going back home at the next stop, and that she did not care what happened, the matter went to bed, and I received up ill A M and led the rest to his comfortment when he turned from the club car. That was some more night. But only a small amount of what was to happen the next day in the Moles where we were in our grand order.

In this warfare let politics and selfish aggrandizement be the last thought in mind, with heads erect and a protruding chest let's get in the battle for a better economic position in the various communities in which we live.
Let us battle for equitable standing and by all means recognition for our patronage in the various communities for the business which we support. Let's make warfare upon the business houses which choose to ignore us as a part and parcel of the body politic.
"Don't Spend Your Money Where You Can't Work."
Let's get right down to business and quit spending our money where the firms refuse to give to us employment.
We have in mind various firms which enjoy from 60 per cent to 95 per cent patronage from our group yet they refuse not only to employ any of us, but fail to even make the friendly gesture of appreciation by placing their advertisements in the Negro Press, thereby making it possible by reciprocity to share in giving work to more employees in their various printing establishments.
FEBRUARY'S PROMINENT BIRTHDAYS
February 22 is the birthday of George Washington. Father of this great Republic. It was he who led the American Revolutionary forces to victory over the mother country and thereby won American Independence. If we read the lives of these men we shall find much to encourage us in surmounting the high peaks of life and moulding useful manhood.

Once a saint does not mean always a saint. As recently as three years ago the Church of England evicted several saints from the calendar. That some should be added was to be expected; that some should be promoted is a natural step; but even the secular world, to which some of the saints in the ecclesiastical calendar arg dear, is shocked when saints are virtually deaconized, recalled from their sacred niches and stripped of their halos.
Among the honored and celebrated names no longer in the calendar is that of St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers whose anniversary is being observed today throughout large parts of the civilized world in spite of their want place in the ecclesiastical calendar.
Vain fellows those churchmen, if they imagined their iconoclastic exert would end for all time the celebration of this most picturesque and whimical of anniversaries.
St. Valentine may not have been a Roman bisop and few of his converts may know of his martyrdom under one or another of the Roman emperors, but immortality is his whether or not he deserves it.
There ought to be more Valentine Days and more valentines. Perhaps if there were more exchanges of affection and friendship there would be fewer exchanges of haka and envy.
He who possesses the true spirit of St. Valentine's Day can see in a comic valentine a kind thought and a message of friendship.

Family ties are said not to be as close as they used to be, and yet many families are having reunions where a large number of near and distant relatives are gathered together. Interest in genealogical research is said to be increasing, and many people are anxious to find out who their ancestors were and where they came from, and the desire to know the members of one's old family tribe will never disappear. An obstacle in the way of such associations is created by the scattering of families all over the country. Where a family used to settle down in its home town or near by, the present generation is likely to scatter all over the land, and some may go to foreign nations. Yet as people travel more easily than formally, many come from distant points when the tribe holds its powwow.
It may be said that the tie that holds these distant relatives together is not close, since the people who assemble in an annual family gathering may never meet elsewhere, and may not feel any particular congeniality to the temperament of one another. And yet anything rooted so deeply in old traditions as the ties of family relationship, must still be much of a power.
Back in old history people looked to their families for protection. Tribe fought against tribe, and if you were attacked and your safety assailed, your government might not be able to do anything for you, but your kinsmen would rally and beat off the tribe that menaced you. Those old times of tribual warfare are happily gone forever. But the members of a family tribe now can reflect that they no doubt share certain traits handed down from common ancestors. Hence they should have ideas in common, an dwhen they get together they should have important elements of congeniality that run deep in their natures.

Without ostentation man should value himself more highly than is his wont. It is one of man's faults that he undervalues himself, lacks confidence in his ability and admits to himself that he "can't." It is possible to know thyself, and for man to achieve something worthwhile in this world he must believe in himself for his full worth.
"Swell-headedness" is applied to persons who affect qualities unpossessed. One can be self-confident without being complacent and presuming. Man may know himself without letting others know he knows himself, that in truth, is the secret of success among men.
The higher a man's valuation of himself, the more his compassion and charity for his fellowmen. There is no condescension in his manner because realizing a value in himself he unconsciously seeks out values in others.
One cannot expect the world to count him as of intrinsic worth if he himself does not recognize that worth. It becomes so much a part of our thought structure and our very personality that it plainly manifests itself in our words and acts. Unostentatious self-confidence is natural expression of personal evaluation. Vain boasting is a cloak to conceal natural weakness and failings. He who brags is painfully aware of his
shortcomings; otherwise he would be conscious of nothing to boast about. Self-confidence is the recognition of shortcomings overcome. Boasting is the recognition of shortcomings to be overcome.

We were watching the inspection of the State Highway traffic squad. Resplendent in their olive drabs, tom browns, they made a fine appearance. All of them men of fine physique. The motorcycles and automobiles a spotless white, gleamed in the sun. "Fine looking bunch of fellows," a voice at my side said; "but I don't see a dark face among them." "Sir," we answered, "those men have passed civil service requirements. Do you know of any "dark" face that made application for an examination? Unless you know of someone who made application, passed and was refused on account of the "dark" face there is no room for criticism."
And so it goes. We fume and fret; resolute and protest; expect offerings to be made on a silver platter, and if they are made, not prepared to accept them. Running round in circles getting nowhere, because of lack of organization.
The week sees the birthdates of two characters prominent in the annals of American history. Abraham Lincoln, who saved and perpetuated a nation and Frederick Douglass, eminent orator and American whose voice was lifted ever in the cause of humanity. Useless for men to try to dim their lustre. Their deeds will shine brighter as the years go by and generations yet unborn will more and more revere their memory. Frederick Douglass lived to see ripen some of the fruit grown from the tree which Abraham Lincoln planted. He fought for the civil emancipation of all men, regardless of Race. The mind of Frederick Douglass was broad. It encompassed all humanity. His theory was the uplifting of the human masses. There cannot be an enslavement of any part of the people, industrially or politically. All must have the equal opportunity or the nation cannot progress. The month also sees the birth anniversary of George Washington, "Father of His Country." It is well to think of those three great characters who did much to form, perpetuate, and foster the ideals, for which America stands. Washington; Lincoln; Douglass.
In the matter of apportionment of the water from the projected Boulder Dam, Arizona and California seem to be as far apart as ever. No means of conciliation, even when offered by the Federal government, seem able to bring about a feeling of mutual helpfulness. The water of the Gila River is the bone of contention. Arizona does not want the water from that stream into the apportionment. There should be some means of them getting together. There is too much of the community interest and not sufficient national pride.

THREE TIMES—in one day—we were approached and asked to assist financially in the erection or renovation of a church. We are aware that a church, of some religious creed, is a necessity in any community. They are the balance wheel in the social life. Very often the number of churches in a community negative their usefulness by overlapping their activities. Six or more churches using the same, or practically the same, mode of worship, in a town of one thousand or fifteen hundred, one-fifth of whom are church attendants must of need from non-support lose their efficacy. The above is not to be taken for a diatribe against churches or any particular church. It was brought to mind as we noticed so many business opportunities and wondered why someone was not soliciting for some enterprise that would prove of material benefit. Having a little leisure we sought to find just what was being done toward solving the economic question confronting the Race in the Capital city. First on the list comes the laundry owned and operated by Mr. E. W. Robinson. First class in every appointment, and a credit to individual enterprise. But this is the era of big business. Smaller business is merging. The individual operator unless he has sound financial backing must go to the wall. There was a look-in at the Safeway tailors. It is owned by the Canson brothers. It compares favorably with any like establishment in Sacramento. Capital would develop the business, and in the development would give employment to many others. There are any number in the business of catering. It is said that individually they are doing well. Collectively they should do better. We don't mind spending a dollar to dance for an hour or two, but we hesitate, ponder, consider and then fail when asked to invest to create or enlarge some business worthwhile.
A TRUE STORY
---
Not so long ago we saw a man who was bedecked with so many insignias that it seemed impossible to find space for more. They represented almost every secret organization extant, and their different ramifications. The wonder was, how could he maintain his membership in all of them. Being a man of moderate means it must be done at considerable sacrifice financially. Again, occurred the thought, What did it all represent? Other than the display of the outward adornment of fraternalism, what were they doing to ameliorate the condition of a struggling people? Many of them are kept alive to pay exorbitant salaries. For what? The I. B. P. O. E. has inaugurated a movement termed the Liberty Civic League. The chairman is paid from the coffers of the Grand Lodge. On its face it ostensibly is a creature of that fraternal body, but in soliciting membership it will accept others than those of the fraternal body for $1.00 per. Again, we ask why that league? There is a nationally known organization which functions for racial rights known as the done, and is doing splendid work in the field for which it was organized. Can any same person see why there should be an overlapping interest? If the officers of the I. B. P. O. E. are sincere in their efforts for racial betterment why do they not combine their financial interests. Nothing will be gained by separating the forces. Divided energy is easy to combat. Divide the army and beat each unit in detail. That's the strategy which has kept the Negro on the defensive. Whether it has been for lack of competent generalship or because of culpable self interest is left for you, who pay the money, to decide.

Florence and Vincent met each other in a city in Eastern Canada. They were young and exuberant with life. They met. They married.
Thirty years have passed since their wedding day. Such disillusioning years they have been to Florence. Children have appeared. Vincent is happy. Life to him is a pleasant dream—he has a faithful wife and several lovely children.
To Florence things are different. She thought she loved her husband in those far-off days of romantic girlhood. But she didn't. She was young. And inexperienced. Then she was in love with love. Then she was blinded by emotion; now her eyes are open. The marriage tie has brought their bodies together. Time has separated their spirits. She knows that she has little in common with him—but he, of he only knew!
Sorrowful part is, he loves her. He adores her. He worships her. Were she to divorce him the shock would probably wreck his remaining life. But Besides, the children must be considered. What will she do?
Her love is that of sister for brother. She would cook for him and keep house for him. But his sex requirements are repulsive, exorcising. Many are the days that this honorable woman sheds her sorrow in secret tears: The world thinks her happy. The world knows not the truth.
Our attention has been called to a decision rendered by a Los Angeles judge affecting the occupation of property owned by Negroes. It was explained to us that a certain Negro woman owned, and had occupied, property in a district which had been recently restricted. That complaint was made by the white residents of the district and as a result of the court trial the Negro owner of the property was ordered to vacate. The promise was made to furnish us with all of the court details. Upon receiving them we will be able to give a more comprehensive view. But if such a pernicious decision has been rendered it behooves every Negro in the State of California to get busy. It concerns every Negro man, woman and child wherever and whatever part of the State they might live. That woman's case is your case and my case. A case for the N. A. A. C. P. branches throughout the State.
Why must she suffer? Will God forever allow her to be unequally yoked? But she will not leave him. She will not crush his spirit. She hears her cross resignee and secretly. The world must not know! Some people have the spiritual courage to carry their secret griefs to the grave. Surely the peaceful slumber of death's transition will "dry away all tears." The Soul—that eternal spark of the eternal flame—will glow in effulgent purity when freed from life's darkened barriers.
Putting the teeth in the Prohibition camel appears to be a harder job than was anticipated. Instead of trying to soothe the creature and slip them in as quietly as they put over the act they are using such means as to cause him to rebel: even though the masticators might do him good. They are going to send him over to the dentist in the department of justice to see what they can do for him. His ten years with the treasury, and their futile attempts to insert the "biters," has not improved his temper. There has been too many critical observers who are willing to say what should be done but have not the temerity, or courage, to tackle the job. Bootlegging is becoming more prevalent. Parents of High School children at Fresno, Cal., acknowledge their inability to prevent their children from obtaining liquor. The orgies of drunkenness have been revealed but the parents refuse to give to the grand jury sufficient evidence to indict for fear of the disgrace. Too bad: even in the days of old grog shop (which will never return) there was no such need for complaint. Temperance must be taught through precept and example.
But ere death takes its toll, a gleam of hope remains. Florence believes that some day a change will be made. Either she will learn to love Vincent or else the Hand of Destiny will separate them. Until then, she will tread the path of wifely duty—bearing her sadness alone.
To the world her face wears a smile. To her innermost self she knows that her spirit is gradually being crushed.
New York, Jan. 6, 1930
To the Editor:
For the past three or four weeks Negro writers, speakers and leaders of all knits have been frothing at the mouth because General Jai Christian Smuts declared that the exploited and downtroden African wage slave was almost as docile as an ass. The first to take the good general so task was "Major" Robert R. Motor of Tuskegee Institute; he was followed by a horse of other indigina Semegambian worthies. I confess that even I, confirmed cynic and close observer of the Negro that I am, was a little incensed by the remark of the celebrated Boer soldier-statesman. But after giving the matter a little thought, I am compelled to accept the Smutty statement in part i. e., while I deny that the African Negro is as docile as an ass. I am rather inclined to believe that his brother in America does not fall far short of-that classification.
They are warming up for the Governor's Handicap. Ray Riley for some time has been looking over the track and doing a bit of limbering up. Buron Fitts has declared but is taking his time leaving the paddock. He is going to find out for true whether the track is wet or dry and just how the boys from "Over There" are going to take it. A prospective entry—Jas. Rolph, Jr., Mayor of San Francisco—has taken time, two weeks, to make his declaration. If he leaves with the Good Will Association trip to Mexico, March 14th, it means that he will not enter. Should he decide to remain in California on that date, he might "choose" to run. In the meantime the favorite, Governor C. C. Young, is too busy with affairs concern-
Consider, for a moment, the nature of the ass. He is patient and uncompromising and only lashes out with his little rear hooks when severely beaten or kicked by his driver. It never seems to occur to him that he ought to do something to prevent a recurrence of beating. He just launches out with that worthy his jumped back out of reach he settles back into his docile his hooks at his tormentor and when state until the next beating occurs. He uncompromisingly bears his harness and carries his loads, and gives little thought of the morrow or the mis-treatment it may bring forth.
Now wherein, I rise to ask, does the department of the ass differ from that of the bulk of American Negroes? Do they not hear their burdens without audible complaint, except from an insignificant city. Does it occur to the bulk of the black bodies to fight back except when certain, dealt with here, in a yarding, booming or noxious? Are they engaged in planning, any measures to prevent a recurrence of these many cuttages against them? After an orgy of mob violence, Negroes deep back completely into the old rat and unimplicinally into the old home? Answer these questions, and can you answer the answer to the garrisonment of General Smuts' statement.
As I said, we must disagree with the General if he is returning only to African Negroes because we know very well that the dark folk of the Dark Centiment are aroused against oppression and exploitation as never before. They have organized the largest Negro labor union in the world for the purpose of attaining and maintaining a high standard of living. They have assembled and protested even when threatened with death by the authorities. Many of them in the past few months have not been afraid to die for what they considered to be their rights.
In America, the Land of the Free, the Negro acts differently. With the wave of discrimination and segregation about to engulf him, he goes calmly along his way, attending dances and conventions, church socials and bridge games; frequently lodge rooms, theatres and gin mills as if there were no problems involving his very survival confronting him. If the American Negro were not as patient as the ass, he would be at least 75 per cent organized against the forces oppressing him. He would present a united front against all the forces seeking to thrust him back into a state of slavery. He would sacrifice his every possession for the proper defense of his manhood rights and the acquisition of full social equality as an American. Instead, the entire Negro group in the United States, gives less than $100,000 a year to the only organization that is effectively fighting his battles for full freedom; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Knowing which I ask: If Hono Aframericanus isn't closely related to the ass family, what is he related to?

BY THE DEACON
WHO IS WHITE OR WHO
IS BLACK?
Down yonder in Old Virginia,
In the Old Dominion State.
The Legislature is in session
And engaged in joint debate.
They are trying to determine
In a scientific way:
Who are white or who are black,
And why their hairs turn gray.
Some Negroes in Old Virginia
Have skins so fair and white,
That they cannot be distinguished,
From the Anglo Saxon type.
Some Negroes in Old Virginia,
Have blue eyes and flaxen hair;
With features like the Saxon.
And skins that are just as fair.
If white folk and so called Negroes,
Were made to stand in line;
A skin expert would conclude,
That they were all the same kind.
There's a tribe in Old Virginia.
Known as the F. F. V's.
And in their veins flows the blood
Of the Red Aborigines.
No wonder our white folk.
Are determined to find out,
Who is white or who is black.
And what, it is all about.
If the natives of Old Virginia.
With one-sixteenth Negro blood or loss,
Are classed as colored people.
It will create an awful mess.
There is an old saying.
By which we are told:
All that shines is not silver.
And, all that glitters is not gold.
The aged Mother of Presidents,
Is in a terrible stew;
Separating Father's from their chil-
oren
Ain't no easy thing to do.
Now listen, to a fool's advice.
Bid Racial Integrity Laws Good-bye,
Or, else you will rue the cay
That you were born to die.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: It has been brought to the articulation of the officers and members of the Associate Body of Beta Chapter of the Rho Psi Phi Medical Sorority that a certain Chicago newspaper, namely the Chicago Tribune, is advocating the candidacy of Editor Robert S. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, for Congressman from the First District of Illinois, in opposition to the incumbent, Congressman Oscar DePriest; and WHEREAS: Said incumbent, Congressman Oscar DePriest, has shown himself at all times, by speeches on the floor of the Congress of the United States and in appointments of colored youths to the United States Military and Naval Academy, to be fearless in championing and furthering the cause of all those whom he represents, especially those of his own race; and

COLUMN OF THREE YEARS!
Some will be glad, others sad: (the ones who can't stand sharp medicine for sharp pains.)
So after several months vacationing gladly I climb back into the Eagle's rest, there to help carry out its wonderful program of general good for the people it serves.
As that great Sports helmsman of the Examiner, Mark Kelly says, another fight club seems to be laying it on pretty thick. This serviver counted quite a few of our folks who journeyed the short distance out 9th St. to Mr. Newman's Arena to patronize it.
Nevertheless few of the very few colored newspaper men were recognized with the courtesy accorded the Black Press by other clubs, notably the Olympic. At both Vernon and their Grand Avenue Fistic palace or at Wrigley Field sell-outs, bona-fide members of the Airo American press are welcomed and given the proper accommodations for chronicling the events transpiring there that are accorded the whites.
Not exactly predicting but in course of time the new arena will need the dark brother for the East-side box offices.

Right around the corner is the 1932 Olympics which will draw all races from all over the world. There are no color bars in the Olympiad. It is open to all who qualify so the great one-tenth should avail themselves of this opportunity.
Right now local athletes should be preparing for those supreme tests by building up the constitution necessary to stand the grill.
Believe it or not nothing helps to bring respect to the race more than notable records in sports. The majority of the white race are un-prejudiced sportsmen and extend que acclaim to the Drews, Buttersi Taylor Gourdins, and the Tiger, Flowers of the Sports World. Lessons of tolerance and fairness learned in clean competition in this field helps to lower the barriers in other fields.

SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS
MILFORD BERGLUND BEATS
JOHNNY ADAMS, IN SIX
A new Mountain Lion of San Bernardoino was crowned last Thursday night, when Milford Berglund the battling Swede took Johnny Adams the former Mountain Lion King down in six fast heats. Berglund is the two headed kid that loves fighting just as the old Cat did. And he sure proved it last week, when he outfought the old timer.
Once or twice it seemed as if the new king was going to hang the shuck on Johnny, but that old fighting heart said no and Adams came back to weather the storm.
PLENTY GAME
Johnny isn't much as a fighter anymore, but he still has the old heart as he did in days gone by. The former Mountain Lion has been through for a couple of years, but has been hanging on like a leach. The party Thursday night just about spelled the finish for the old boy.
BIG MARGIN
The young Swede beat Adams from here to there but couldn't put him away. Berglund poured rights and lefts into the veteran in his effort to put him in dream land, but the old spunk was there and Johnny just wouldn't say quite. In the fourth round the Swede had the vet, hanging on the ropes all but out and stepped back to look him over instead of following him up and lost the chance of dropping the sleep powder on him.
Johnny's experience and fighting heart put him across Thursday night.
SHOULD BE LAST
The right Thursday should have been Johnn's last. Even is he is one of the gamest men in the ring today he can not stand many beating like that one he got Thursday. He is old in the game and has been fighting close to 15 years and the toll is bouncy to be taken. Berglund looks like a comer and is coming, but it will be some little time yet before he will be shoved up to the tough boys. He needs experience, that can be gotten by taking it slow.
ANOTHER SENSATION
Is it possible that San Bernardino is producing another sensation so soon. The old Gate City has turned out some good fighters and has always had a topnotcher on the up and up. Johnny Adams was the first and they used to hire special trains to come up to Los Angeles to see him fight. Adams fought the best in his time and he always made it worth while for the fans to leave home to see him fight. Next came the Mexican doll, Baby

Sal Soria. The kid with the dyninate in the right duke. Sal broke into the big time, when he knocked out Dario Barron, a countryman, in two rounds. Incidentally Sal broke in the very night Adams made his exit to big time. Johnny was knocked out by Jack Thompson in four heats in the main event and Sal knocked his man out in two rounds in the semiwindup. After that fight the Mexican was made. He was a headliner at the Olympic for a long time and then he rated a battle at Wriggley Field with the Junior lightweight champ of the world and lost by a big margin. From that time on Sal was next to nothing and he is playing the sticks now.
Now we have Milford Berglund a battling Swede that hits like the devil with both hands and who knows, but the kid might reach the top in another year as the other two San Berdoo boys did.

DOINGS IN THE "Y" GYM
The Imperials woke up last Saturday night and took the Hedonicas down the line to a twenty to seven tune in string music.
All the boys had their eyes Saturday night and they really made the ropes swish with the old Casaba dropping through.
Vernon Fulcher, captain and star forward was high pointman with about 13 points for the Imperials. The heavy set little kid has a pretty eye for the basket and can really go. Big George Cook played a great game at guard and sunk a couple himself.
Alex Edwards was star and high pointman for the Hedonicas. Alex is one of the best dribblers in Los Angeles and he played a good game Saturday night.

Kentucky Jubilee Singers Headline Show at Curtis Mosby's Club—Walt Richardson and Wife Guests of Honor
Curtis Mosby goes into the second week of his new show with the Kentucky Jubilee Singers and their original ways of putting across the ever popular Negro Spirituals. Supporting these wonderful songsters is beautiful Miss Hildred Washington and her Creole Cuties. The Jubilee singers have just returned from an engagement in Kangoro land, where they went over with a bang. The singers are original in all their presentations and they sell themselves easily with the Negro Folk Songs.
ANDERSON AND JONES
Gus Jones and the Anderson Bros. are still going sky high with their comedy sketches. This team of comedians has been voted the best on the west coast, by many movie critics that have visited the Famous Apex Club.
The theme song for the famous team's act this week is entitled "Did You Ever" with Eddie taking the lead followed closely by Gus Jones and Coffie Anderson the other two thirds of the team.
It seems as if the show is featuring nothing but Guses. In the Kentucky Jubilee Singers there is little Gus and with the Anderson brothers there is Big Gus and both of the boys can go for my dough.
SWEET CAKE IVY
Little Miss Ivy Anderson a perfect picture of Brown skin and personality that has IT backed off the map does a specialty that knocks them off their seats and no less.
Suey Hoy the girl with the Chop Suey name and the eyes to match struts her stuff in the same way pleases them all.
The galloping Don Juans headed by handsome Johnny Kauffman ran rough shod over the Y. M. D. S. in a ran away game. The score was somewhere around 56 to 8. Infact to tell the truth the writer lost count of the score after the first quarter. Kauffman and his boys look like the class of the league and it wouldn't surprise me to see them come through on top.
Drippy Williams, Al Brewer, Johnny Kauffman, the handsome, and Walt Jones are the big shots of the team and those boys can really go.
Come out Saturday night and see the game of games the Imperials vs the Don Juans.
Kappas Beat Alphas In Thrilling Game At Jeff
The Frat men went back to high school last Friday night at Jeff, when they ran all over the Jefferson High gym in one of the fastest basketball games seen in many a moon. The Kappas were kingpins Friday night and they had quite a time running baskets on the Alpha men. The final score was 30 to 25 in favor of the Kappas outfit. Those Alphas fought, but Herman Hill, Jeff Brown, Moose Ragland and the rest of the Kappas were just too much men for the Alphas.
Slick Stocks and Lim Jones played a great game for the Alphas. Stocks help lose the game, however, when he lost his head and started fouling, giving the Kappas plenty of free throws.
GAME FRIDAY
The gym was filled and running over last Friday for the first game and everybody went away pleased wishing it had been more. The gym this coming Friday will be blood and thunder, as the Alphas have vowed that they will take those Kappas down the line or die in the attempt. Now, you know what to look for.
Jeff Brown went down to his knees to shoot a few Friday and he claims that he will lay on his back and shoot them next Friday if necessary.
Mosby's Music House
KID STEALS SHOW
Lee Young the 17 year old boy steals the show again as usual with his singing and dancing. "Shy Little Violetts Grow" and "One Sweet Letter From You" knock them deader than dead. How that kid can warble. He just opens up and lets it fly and when she flies you stop what you are doing and listen to the kid. He is in a class all by himself.
BLUE BLOWERS BLOWING
The Blue Blowers were blowing as they always blow, blowing the best in Blues.
Henry Collins a school boy started the Professionals off with an acrobatic tap dance that went over. The kid is a wonder. He took lessons from B. M. Ali one of the famous Ali brothers when he was on the coast the Ali Brothers are rated as two of the best acrobatic dancers in the states.
Miss Flora Washington sister of Mildred Washington, now playing at the Orange Grove down town was there with one of her best numbers.
OLD FAVORITE
Strutt Mitchel one of the old favorites of the club was back Wednesday night for a special number. Strutt sang waiting at the End of the Road with a feeling. Mr. Mitchell opens up at the New Jockey Club Friday night. Hal Forde who played in Big Boy was there in style at a ringside table and took a bow.
GUEST OF HONOR
Mr. Walt Richardson recently of Australia was guest of honor and rendered that old favorite "My Blue Heaven."
Miss Carolyne Snowden closed the show with Lousiana.
