SINGERS IN WORLD PREMIER
VOLUME 43
ON THE SIDEWALK
BY C. A. B.
For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me; and shewing mercy
unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.—Exodus 20:5-6.
THE SINS OF THE FATHERS
UPON THE CHILDREN
A few days ago at Long Beach, 7-year-old La Verne McDonald testified unflinchingly before a coroner's jury that he pushed 3-year-old James Ellis into the water and held his head under, till the little lad had crowned. The abnormality of the 7-year-old murderer seems to have astounded the Compton jury. How does it happen that a 7-year-old boy, seemingly without either cause or fear, deliberately commits such a terrible crime upon his 3-year-old playmate?
Looking through the screen of time in the dim shadow of the past we see either this boy's parents or foreparents mingling in the blood thirsty mob intent upon lynching and burning a human being.
Lynching is a bane on civilization and not until it is completely annihilated can this nation take its rightful place as one of the Christian nations of the world.
ONLY ONE WAY OUT
It really seems that even tho there are approximately 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States (not including those who are passing for white) that to date our voting strength has not been considered seriously, not even by the Republican party—and there is but one way out of this political dilemma in which we find ourselves at this time—call a nation-wide political conference at which there will be no big I's and little U's, but everyone shall be on a par, and in this way decide how we may get together as an integral.
As we observe the situation near and also from afar it occurs to us that the only way we may advance our cause of citizenship rights will be through this sort of organization and when we are properly organized, to the end that we represent a single unit, our voice as a part of this nation will then and there be heard.
THE VOICE OF HIRAM JOHNSON
Hiram Johnson, the Roosevelt of California, stepped out on the radio platform this week and lifted his voice against the London treaty. Said Mr. Johnson, "It is neither as an opponent of disarmament nor as a big navy man that I am against the London Treaty. It is as an American with the due regard of the average American for the national security and defense, but with the ever present hope that the nations of the world will limit and reduce armaments; it is as a Californian, born there and living a long life only there, with eyes upon the broad Pacific and a firm belief that the Pacific ultimately will be the theater of world activities; it is as one grown old in public service to whom the safe-guarding of the nation's future is far more important than an immediate petty political triumph that I take issue upon an instrument utterly lacking in the consumption of its high sounding purposes, and in its terms unfair and unjust to the United States."
As we read California's senior senator's denunciation of the London Treaty, we are thinking in the spirit of black America, that if this California political lion with convictions so strong that one is able to see him breathing through his very words on paper or over the radio, would lift his voice as strongly against the atrocious acts committed by certain states, lynching in this country would soon disappear from the pages of history like an ice ball beneath the rays of a torrid sun.

R. K. O. CHORUS OF 41 WILL SING
When the world premier of "Dixiana" opens at the Orpheum Tuesday evening the 22nd, that crack stock R. K. O. Chorus of forty-one Negroes will be presented in person along with Bebe Daniels, Everett Marshall, Bert Wheeler and Bob Woolsey. The opening of the show with this group will set a precedent in the western theatrical world. It is not the first time that this chorus, the original Emanuel Hall Pacific Coast Harmony Makers has scored in making history for the race in the musical world, but it is the first time that an organization of our people has been so signally distinguished as to be presented along with the big stars before an audience of all the magnates and stars of filmdom. Unfortunately the range of prices does not permit our group attending the premier, however, all those attending the performance will have the opportunity of hearing the chorus as it doubles in all the chorus work throughout the picture.
Senator Tallant Tubbs Candidate For Lieut.- Governor Visits City
Senator Tallant Tubbs, leading candidate for Lieutenant Governor, who lives in and represents in the Senate the city of San Francisco, has been a visitor in this city for the past 5 days.
He is meeting his host of friuends and perfecting his Southern California organization. He has covered 18 counties and will spend the next two weeks in a campaign tour of the state.
The Senator avers a pronounced sentiment prevails in favor of his candidacy and strong support is coming his way from all angles in every community which he has visited.
Senator Tubbs states that prohibition is the paramount issue in his (Continued on Page Two)
STRONG FOR FITTS FOR GOVERNOR
Staunchly asserting that the bulk of the colored vote in Los Angeles will be given to Buron Fitts, Republican Candidate for Governor 300 prominent Negro citizens attended a mass meeting of the East Side Fitts for Governor Club held at the Holmns Avenue School recently and supplied strong endorsements for Fitts' candidacy.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs. C. A. Bass, president of the Club, who introduced several visiting candidates including E. C. Jennings, candidate for Superior Judge, Fredrick M. Roberts, California's only Negro Assemblyman, who is again a candidate for re-election in the 62nd Assembly District, and Superior Judge Charles E. Haas, candidate for re-election.
Music was supplied by the Court of Solomon, order of Foresters Band and Madame Moselle Te Outley, soloist.
Lloyd Griffith, deputy City Attorney, in an address replete with references to the importance of just representation for the colored people, endorsed Fitts and stated that every employee in the present district attorney's office had to earn his salary. "I can certify," said Griffith, "that there are no politics in District Attorney's office, as presided over by Buron Fitts."
Elijah Cooper, prominent Negro realtor who introduced Griffith denied that the colored voters were being influenced by the claims of rival candidates, that Fitts is prejudiced against Negroes occupying public office and cited several instances to prove that Fitts had supported the claims of this race for fair representation in elective and appointive positions.
Cooper confirmed Fitts' position on this question by referring to his appointment of Leon Whitaker, a colored-attorney, as one of his deputies.

Golden State to Celebrate Fifth Birthday
The Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company on July 23rd will have been operating as a successful Life and Disability Insurance Company for five years. During this period, its marvelous growth and expansion have caused an unlimited amount of favorable discussion and comments both in the insurance business world and among the insurable masses.

Starting in a preliminary way in the fall of 1924, several months were spent in organization; and after overcoming many obstacles, some of which seemed insurmountable, the Company was
connection with the murder of Mrs. Julia Hawkins., 65, property owner and one of the oldest citizens here. whose body was found in an apartment over a garage in the rear of 4749 South Parkway Saturday.
Those questioned by the coroner and investigators were J. Arthur Menard, law student and realtor, S. W. Springer, insurance broker and W. H. A. Moore, writer and poet. The investigation started here Monday and from testimony submitted it is believed that each of the trio will be held for the Grand Jury.
The testimony on the opening day centered around alleged shady real estate deals and intrigue to secure the

licensed to do Life Endowment and Health and Accident Insurance business on July 23, 1925. Immediately the Company began doing business with 500 policyholders three agents and one office clerk.
TODAY
Today it stands out, not only in the Negro business world, but the Insurance world, as a monarch—an example of what organized finance and co-operation among our people will accomplish.
Today this California born concern owns its own home which represents an investment of approximately $500,000. Not only is this a fact, but it employs a large force of more than 140 persons, including agents, superintendents, medical examiners, clerks, stenographers and others. These men and women have shown ability in avenues above the channels of ordinary labor and have proven their efficiency to fill positions which are generally
property owned by the deceased woman. Officers believe that Mrs. Hawkins was lured to the apartment and there killed in order to cover up certain discrepancies in the handling of her property and personal business. It is further alleged that a complete confession has been secured from Menard, which will definitely involve Moore and Springer.
The condition of the body, in which decomposition had set in, led to the belief that the woman had been dead for several days. She has been missing from home at least a week and the finding of the body by Moore, in company with Dr. George W. Prince, disclosed the murder.

It is a commendable fact that in its struggle to reach the top it has won its way up the ladder of success to where it now ranks nineteenth on the list of 105 companies wirting Accident and Health insurance in California, according to report of income on this class of business made to the State Insurance Department as of December 31, 1929.

The Company has doubled its Life business in the past year and at present is in the midst of a Million Dollar Drive for new Life business.

OFFICIALS DESERVE CREDIT
The following group of men who constitute the present board of directors, led by Wm. Nickerson, Jr., who has been President of the company since organization, deserve no small amount of praise and credit for their co-operative vision which has been a guiding factor in the success and growth of this wonderful institution: Geo. A. Beavers Jr., Vice-Pres. and Director of Agencies, Norman O. Houston, Secretary-Treasurer, S. P. Johnson, Vice-President. E. L. Dorsey Vice-Pres. and Publicity Mgr.; J. A. Evans, Dr. Geo. Price. L. M. Hudson and Dr. H. H. Towles, Medical Director.
up which appeared in the Chicago Defender crediting the Association with endorsing Governor Young for re-election when as a matter of fact no such thing had occurred. He also called attention to the president of the Association, Dr. H. Claude Hudson, posing in the position of accepting a $5.00 membership from the Governor. Citing these instances, he made a motion correcting the erroneous publication and the papers he given the information that they might inform the public.
There were those who did not relish this motion and actually voted against it but to no avail, for they were out-numbered fully two to one.
It seemed as though the Young forces did not want this correction made, for Rev. A. P. Shaw, who had not attended a meeting since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, arose and moved to lay the motion on the table. This shut off debate and there was nothing to it but to put the motion. Rev. L. G. Robinson, who was presiding, had to face the music. The motion was put and lost by a vote of more than two to one.
Just why anybody would want to keep the Association from righting a wrong was left unexplained. The following is the official notice from the office of Mrs. Zella Taylor, secretary of the local branch.
"Los Angeles, Calif., June 17, 1930.
"To the California Eagle:
"Because it had been erroneously reported through the public press that the Los Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had endorsed Governor C. C. Young and because it is not the policy of the Association to endorse any candidate, the following motion was duly and properly presented and voted upon, and was unanimously adopted, and it was made a part of the records and minutes of the said branch:
"That the Association go on record to clear its name that it had not endorsed Governor C. C. Young, or any other candidate for Governor.

Secretary L. A. Branch, N. A. A. C. P.
REV. CLARK ILL
Rev. E. M. Clark is still very sick. He was removed to the General Hospital July 4th. He had an operation Saturday, July 12th and must have another when stronger. His family is asking that the Churches and friends pray for his recovery.
Some one or more thick skinned and hair brained preachers and would-be stump speakers, are preaching as a reason for their opposition to Fitts for governor, that he was born in Texas.
This, dear readers, is a sample of the calibre of men and women who are the opposers of the courageous District Attorney and it is apparent if there are no more sensible and worthwhile reasons than this one Fitts will receive a 99 per cent support
As a matter of fact he was born in Texas and migrated to California at the age of four years.
Wright Cuney was born in Texas, so was Bishop Grant; Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky; John S. Manning, the greatest friend of man in the past century, was born in Alabama. It's not so much what you were born, but the situation is what you you stand for in scheme of things.

New York, July 15—Although contracts have been signed by a number of performers for appearances in Donald Heywood's latest musical offering "The King," the satire on Marcus Garvey's affairs, there is some doubt as to its appearances on Broadway as early as expected. A number of stars have been signed for appearances in this production, who are well-known on the Great White Way. No less than six colored productions are planned for the coming season which promises to give employment to the biggest number of colored actors yet. Of the six, only two are positive of production, Leslie's "Blackbirds" and Connie's second edition of "Hot Chocolates."
Of these two, Leslie seems to have corraled the brightest stars, for he now has under contract, Ethel Waters, George Cooper, Aida Ward, Minta Cato, Hilda Perino, Valada Snow, any one which would grace any production and then there is of course, "Snake Hips" Earl Tucker Miller and Mantan, the latter supplanting Lyle in the famous team and a number of specialty dancers. It looks like a brilliant season for the "Blackbiros" anyway you take it. Connie's plans are not being broadcast as strongly as are those of Leslie because Connie is alleged to have lost $00,000 in his first venture, while Lew is said to have cleaned up close to half a million with all of his various companies working. And therein lies the difference.
Those who are more keenly interested in the theater than the stars are the chorines who are disgusted

Alma Hightower Presents The Outstanding Entertainment of The Season
It's going to be a Red Letter Performance at the Trinity Auditorium on the evening of July 24th. when Alma Hightower presents her Kiddies Musical Comedy Revue, with a cast of more than fifty people. The scene of this colorful event is the Trinity Auditorium, at Ninth Street and Grand avenue. This large auditorium with its more than two thousand seats will without doubt be filled to more than overflowing by the throngs who will want to see and hear this most classy performance. For many weeks rehearsals have been carried on, and though the majority of the performers are professional and have long periods of stage and screen experience, they have been routined to the point of faultless presentation for this wonderful event.
The talented little Jesse Scott, with shining white teeth and expressive eyes, carries the main part of the performance "SHINE." No more talented youngster has appeared in any performance for many seasons. He is the
with theatrical conditions in general in New York City. There are only two houses in which they can work unless they are employed in the night clubs, and the pace in the theaters seems to be killing off all the good looking girls.
The two major companies mentioned above and Marty Forkins' new outfit, which will co-star those two famous individuals, Bojangles Robinson and Adelaide Hall, will use about sixteen girls each, giving forty-eight employment. And if "The King" ever hits Broadway, you can count on another sixteen, making that total sixty-four. So the girls are practicing and getting pretty for the winner season in the hopes of landing a fat engagement with one of the big companies where the pay is better and working conditions not quite so hard as playing the four a day shows in Harlem.
George Walker of 1930 and gives his namesake a strong "run for the money." The Dancing Teams of Dorothy and Ray, Minnie and Carrie and Vivian and Arzelle, give the most astounding examples of the "Hooters" art. Every phase of the art of buck and wing and shuffle and tap are exemplified in the performance of these unusually talented teams. Their work is so rhythmic and so finished that they are a delight to every audience before whom they have appeared. Then, there is Jeanette Dancey, one of the features of the film, entitled "Broadway" and the young favorite of the studies because of her splendid artistic work. You must see her to appreciate the great possibilities of this fine young artist who has every promise of becoming one of the featured players. The musicians in this great aggregation of talent must not be overlooked among whom are William Jackson, "Hightower's Musical Magnet" and Bryant Allen, the boy with the brilliant voice. And then there is Talamon, the youngster who has "absorbed" levee lore, and in his own inimitable way presents it to his audience with a "kick." He is a wonder. The Hightower Orchestra will be on hand to give out both "sweet and sour" strains of music. Syncapitation the Blues and melodies of the heart will be sounded from this group of classy instruments. The ample stage at the Trinity Auditorium will have special scenic and lighting effects to give a setting and background for this most artistic and worthwhile performance.
This is an opportunity to see the best talent in Southern California. All seats are reserved, and owing to the popularity of the entertainment reservations should be made and tickets purchased at the earliest moment. Come with the buttons on your garments well sewed on and an extra strong leather belt or two to keep your sides from splitting; for boy, you sh' an gwine to need 'em "and how."

Swimming activities in the "Y" pool are at a premium now. The sign of "Bathing Room Only" will have to be hung if the warm weather continues. Of course the Boys are the chief fish; but the Girl's and Women's Swim Clubs are showing real Mermaid form. The Business and Professional Men continue to shake off a bit of avoirdupois on Tuesday, and Fricay afteronons through the vehicle of Volley Ball; Basket Ball; Boxing and Swimming.
The reception for Mr. Lester B. Granger, newly appointed Secretary of the Los Angeles Urban League, was a marked success, Members of the Y. M. D. who participated on the program were appreciatively received. The inimitable Kenneth Spencer, "Boy Bass" once more covered himself with glory. The Y. M. D. Embryonic symphonic charmed their hearers with the melodious strains of string and reed.
The coming event of all interest to boys is the summer camp at Round Meadow which begins on the 7th of August and ends on the 14th of August. Many of the boys are earning a portion of their Thirteen Dollars (Camp Fee) by bringing in new members, to the Summer Membership Baseball Contest. In the next few weeks more than one hundred boys will journey to Round Meadows to learn of God in the great-out of doors.
REV. J. H. WILSON ANSWERS MR. TAYLOR
Mr. J. H. Tay.01:
While it is not my custom to seek匀oritytie thru newspaper controversies, neither is it my custom to ignore any communication, however lacking in merit, or brush it aside unnoticed or unanswered, I am, therefore, answering the several questions propounded thru the columns of the New-Age Dispatch of date, July 11, 1930.
In answer to your first question, I say, "It is not a fact" that I tried to transfer four thousand insurance policies of Masons, without the consent of the members."
If it will assist any in your effort to serve your master and hold your job, and if my management of Masonic affairs will aid you in your campaign, you could have had the information for the asking.
The Golden State Insurance Company is a reputable corporation, doing business under the insurance laws of California, located at 4411 Soil Central avenue. My address is 5213 Holmes avenue, my-office is 551-1-2 Central avenue. If you had possessed respect enough for the truth to have inquired at either of the above addresses, it am sure you would have saved yourself the odium of fathering a LIE.
Since you assume to meddle with a matter in which you are not concerned, be advised. The Masonic lodge has NO insurance policies of any kind, since your own common sense tells you there could be no effort to transfer a thing that does not exist. If it will be of interest to you to know, the Masons have a Grand Charity Department, governed and administered by a Grand Charity Board. If it concerns you in the least, I did as chairman of that board, call it together in extra session to consider matters of vital interest to that department, and make certain applications to the Golden State Insurance Company, looking to the stabilizing of our burial department. As to its secrecy, the Golden State Insurance Company, with my consent, published the transaction in their Bulletin. And if you had any knowledge of Masonic Jurisdiction, you would have known that all the official acts of a Grand Master of Masons during the recess of the Grand Lodge, are not reported until the Grand
Lodge is again in session. What have you on stake Mr. Taylor? Why try to distort the truth into a lie? Secondly, NO! Mayor Rolph has been invited to address the Grand Lodge at Fresno, so far as I am informed. Again, Mr. Taylor, by a little inquiry, you could have saved yourself trouble of blasing your question upon a false supposition. Third. If it were true that I have so notified the Masonic Craft in the interest of Mr. Rolph's campaign for governor, Mr. Taylor, I would compliment myself on having rendered the commonwealth of California valuable service. But as to the "fact," it was born in a diseased brain and promulgated by a deceptive tongue.
Fourth. I understand politics to be the science of government. In our Republic, it is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Being a taxpayer, I claim the right to assist in the government of the commonwealth. And as editor of a Christian paper, not only is it my RIGHT, but my DUTY to use its columns for civic, moral, education and religious instruction, and that without let or hinderance.
Fifth. NO! This is another "fact" of your fancy with no other foundation in fact, except political fabrication.
Sixth. Preadathers in politics is fully discussed in an editorial in the Western Christian Recorder of date, July 19, 1930. I beg you to read it Mr. Taylor. Those are my sentiments.
Seventh. Your seventh question, I consider as silly as it is impertinent. The casting of aspersions, heralding unproven and unprovable statements, Mr. Taylor, is, by no stretch of the imagination politics. This campaign cannot be won by intimidation or falsehoods.
You should know, Mr. Taylor, I have lived in this state 26 years. Twenty one of this, I served my church as presiding elder, superintending the church work in San Francisco. Three years I pastored our Bethel church there, resurrecting it from the ashes of her destruction. I remember when Mr. Rolph won the mayoralty contest over Mr. P. H. McCarty, the Labor Union candidate. But I frankly confess that your tirade against James Rolph, Jr., mayor of San Francisco, is the first intimation I ever heard that James Rolph had ever failed to give our group a square deal. Hence, I told you, I would investigate for myself and if found to be true, he would not get my support. I INVESTIGATED, and I am SUPPORTING ROLPH.
I am happy to be numbered among the personal friends of Mr. Rolph. In his presence, I have always felt to be associated with culture, refinement, gentility and broad statesmanship, one who had the courage of his conviction and would accord to every man the place that was his by worth and merit.
In 1925, I entertained the Annual Conference in San Francisco, James Rolph, Jr., mayor of San Francisco, delivered the welcome address to that august body of Christian ministers. In 1927, the Grand Lodge of Masons held their annual session in San Francisco. His Honor, James Rolph, Jr., mayor of San Francisco delivered the fraternal address of welcome to the assembled Craft. The church and the Lodge each felt to be in the best of company and welcomed to the best governed city in America.
(Signed:) J. H. WILSON, Editor-Manager Western Christian Recorder.
Politically Speaking
Money is a powerful factor for good and evil, and few there be that can resist the spells for evil that it casts over us.
Now that political activities are humming, the age-old habit of selling conscience and souls for the dollar can be expected to function perfectly.
My advice to those among our group who contact, make speaking dates for and banquet political candidates for what they can get out of it, is this—call to the front your self-respect and play a man's part in the game.
Speaking of candidates for governor, this writer is for District Attorney Fitts, as he thinks that that gentle man is admirably fitted for the position. I am glad that the N. A. A. C. P., of which body I am a member is for him; though I am sorry that the president, Dr. Hudson has deserted us for Governor Young. "I was amused the other day when I saw in one of our local papers a picture of both men together—Governor Young handing a cheek to Dr. Hudson to cover his dues as a member of the Association. Don't let this gesture fool you. If I remember rightly, Gov. Young became a member of the N. A. A. C. P. just about two months ago. He would have made a better impression had he joined when he first became governor and not waited until his political campaign had started. The Negroes are not all sleeping in this city and state.
In closing this article I want to express the hope that all those of our race who have some political influence will strive to use it for uplift purposes. I take my hat off to "Pop" Sanders and a few others who are trying to do their best to help us upward. Other peons of great influence, such as our preachers, will please take notice. GEO. P. REDMON.

NEGRO RACE SCORES ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY
Recently the world was startled by news of the discovery of a new planet had been present in the sky all the while but escaped being listed as a planet in spite of all the searching of the sky by telescopes. We announce a discovery of a far greater importance in the social sciences, that of a new element in human psychology. This discovery was made a few years ago and was described at length by Dr. Sutton E. Griggs. Recently this discovery has been confirmed in a most striking manner by Prof. Carl G. Jung, a Swiss psychologist and one of the greatest of all time. Like the new planet, the newly discovered element in human, nature has been here all the while but is just now being listed.
the importance of the discovery lies in the fact that, according to Prof. Jung, it is the distinctive American principle and ideal or attitude and was found by him by a searching study of the conscious and unconscious minds of his American pupil and patients. By means of this discovery all the retarded groups of men and troubled nations can now know definitely what it is that can be done to alter their condition. The process for human betterment proposed by Dr. Griggs was submitted to Prof. E. W. Burgess of the University of Chicago and he writes that in his judgment, it is in accordance with the findings of psychology and sociology.
The transcendent importance of the achievement of Dr. Griggs is thus described in a resolution submitted by Prof J. J. Rhoads of the State Teachers Association of Texas and adopted by that body: "Dr. Griggs has made a distinct contribution to scientific thought that ranks in importance with the new lights thrown on the natural and social sciences by such eminent thinkers as Darwin, Galton, Edison, Wells, James Ellwood and Carver." Dr. C. V. Roman, scholar and philosopher, a teacher in Fisk University, and Meherry Medical College, says "Dr. Griggs is one of the clearest thinkers of this generation."
Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, Professor of the History of Civilization in Harvard University, said of Dr. Griggs, "He has a deeper insight than others. He has developed a new viewpoint that is highly important and worth serious consideration." The late Mrs. Isaac Reese when serving as vice-president of the Memphis Board of Education, said, "He has worked out a new philosophy superior to that of Platl."
The time is at hand when due recognition should be given to Dr. Griggs for his enrichment of human knowledge. As chairman of the national commission appointed to extend to him whatever co-operation he needs to make his work effective in the life of the Negro-race, the nation and the world, I recommend that we all study his book containing this discovery—Guide to Racial Greatness or the Science of Collective Efficiency.

MYSTERY IN THE
MOONEY CASE
©an Francisco, (Editorial in Call—
Bulletin, “July 10, 1930)—Something
happened’ quite recently in the cases
of Mooney and Billings. Some radical
change must have been made from a
favorable to. anvunfavorable decision.
Tam basing this belief upow the fact
that nearly a year ago I was told con-
fidentially by one of Governor Young's
intimate associates, a man of very high
standing, that the governor had decid-
ed to pardon Mooney ana Billings.
This intompation was given me
aiter the yernor had spent two
months. studjing the case. I had no
doubt then, nor have I any doubt
now. that Governor Young's friend told
tue the tryph. 1 vas so. sure it was
true I made “an announcement at a
big mass meeting in Los Angeles, only
a day or tWo aiter|I heard this news,
that I Was sure Governor Toung. was
going to pardon: Mooney and Billings.
Some time aiter this meeting T met
Governor Young anu during our. taik
the governor thanked me for what 1
had Said about him at the mass mect-
ing. To mg his was a complete, car-
roboration of hat had been told me
Ii at that time the, governor had not
decided to pardon’ these men, he
would have warnéd me not to be so
definite in, my. statement about what
he wa going. to ‘do.
1 told the same) story ater at a
mass meeting in San Jose. L repeated.
it many times in written articles in
the Call-Bulletin ang in the New York
World, Governor Young has never
ohiee corrected. me.
Since I) received the first informa-
tion from the governor's friends I have
been told the same thing by. several
other people with were equally close
to the governor. Even as late as April
I was told: by his very closest friend:
“Now, don't worry, Mr. Older, Every-
thing is going tobe all right. and the
Supreme Court's 'déeision will be fav-
orable.” Ley...
The people connexiid with the gov-J
ernor’s publicity burdau gave me the
same assurances. Thefe was no doubt
expressed by anyoite} who was in a
position to know what] wasrin the gov-
ernor’s ming. fous
I was confident hp to thesday be~
fore the Supreme Cpurt's decision! On
that day I received a disquieting ru-
mor that the decision would be against
us. But I didn’t acveptit. It seemed
too improbable. |
For nearly a year/I have been trans-
mitting the good ddws| as.I heard it,
to Mooney: and. Billings, and: to: all
others interested in these cases.
When the accision|came Mooney and
Billings believed that I had intention-
ay been. inisleading them for some
ulterior motive. It iy quite natural that;
they should think sd.
T am. confident that some change
was suddenly mad. It is not likely
that Ii shall ever know why, but I
shall never cease t4. wonder. |

OLE VIRGINNY
By:
IDELL BATEMAN
Jim-crowism, ostracism, discrimination, segregation, race hatred just a few of the contributions of the south to the comfort and welfare of the greater portion of its inhabitants. Yet I find Virginia not so bad, as southern statego, at least. I was not shoved off the sidewalk to let those so blessed as to have been born to fairer skin, pass. I find that the black holk of Virginia hold their heads quite high, boasting in their minds limited freedom.
Riding through the vast expanse of one of the natural parks, its rustic beauty appealed to me: those giant towering trees that let their loliage fall carelessly down almost to the ground like an over-grown slouchy man, beckoned me to their shelter. My sister was puzzling over an appropriate place for a class picnic. We were riding in a man's taxi with my sister sitting next to the hibiscus; it lay it was out. Why don't you have the picnic here. Min?" I问 "I think this is a glorious place." Her eyes, naturally large, grew immense. She did not speak but glanced significantly at the young woman, a Virginian, who sat with us in the rear. I said no more. Instinctively, I knew. Something in the way that the oxygen of the air entered into my nostrils and came out again as carbon dioxide; warned me, a hot new wine apprehension, men had been drawn to the takeake less than that below the Masón-Dixon line. They would print glaring headlines about inciting to mob violence, etc, etc and a lonely charred body of brown would dangle mutely and helples from a tree.
Ot God. I am going mad! Jump up, rush out of the swiftly moving cab. Hlunge into them with naked hands. Tear them up by the roots. Sling them into the lake. Pile them up high, higher, higher, higher until they reach the heavens. Let there be none left to shelter, the offspring of those bloodless, souless, heartless creatures that will not let a weary brown travel rest beneath their shade. Let the green grasses that lay as a green carpet under pale ghostly feet wither into prickly needles, puncturing them into myriads of bloodless holes. My limbs were taut with hatred. It ate into me poisoning my heart. My blood grew black in me.
We walk along the path leading a great show place, the plantation home of one of the settlers of Old Virginia. There a veritable mansion stood, dedicated to the city of Richmond. Within all the gole bric a-brac and rare antique furnishings, such as I had never seen. All the wealth of southern aristocracy was represented in the furnishings of this place. I stood there gazing at the fine details of the art represented and grew nauseated by the rushing of the black blood to my heart and face and temples. Out from the mansion, the overseers house was pointed out on the hillside and under the hillsides of the slaves remain a silent testimony.
Smiling a welcome to us, extending literature, we two women in charge of the mansion, were really white women to be found in the New England states, or a few that one might stumble across in Los Angeles. Essence of courtesy and refinement, they were charmed with us when they knew we were Californians.

THE MUSICAL WEST CONDUCTED BY JOHN A. GRAY

THE VALUE OF MUSICAL
STUDY DURING
VACATION
By EUGENE EDGAR PAGE
The purpose of music in life is to promote culture, refinement, and idealism, to cheer and to lift the thoughts of individuals to higher things in general; therefore it is a subject that should be loved and studied in a serious manner at all times.
The minds of parents as well as students usually turn to thoughts of recreation during vacation time, and the average student looks forward to release from studies of any kind; it has been said that we rest by doing something different, not by being idle. Parents should consider the summer months an opportunity for their children to put forth their best efforts in their musical studies, for at other times school studies demand first consideration.
Great danger exists in permitting a young student to discontinue his musical studies for the major part of his vacation. Music is a difficult subject, and the skill required to play an instrument is more quickly lost than gained. The writer kenw a very talented student who took a long trip with one of his parents; when he resumed his lessons, the teacher found that he could not play any of his former studies correctly—even though he practiced some when away; this student has never been able to regain the grasp he had on his musical work.
A noted musician, who was given music from early childhood and had studied it before, teachers the world had to offer, decided to the mountains for two weeks vacation, on his return he was surprised to find that his fingers had lost much of their顺ness and strength, and hours of practice were required to bring his techic back to the point where it was before his vacation. There is an important lesson for the young student to learn from the experience of this master pianist.
The vacation period is the most opportune time for the young student to begin the study of music; he can study in the morning when both mind and body are fresh, and better supervision can be given his practice, then too, he is free from the responsibilities of school studies. Everyone enjoys large returns from an investment; when parents invest in an investment for the child, they are making an investment of importance, the returns from which depend largely on their interest and support as well as that of the child.
These two points together with a third which I shall mention creates an ideal atmosphere for the rapid advancement of a pupil. The third point is the preparedness of the teacher. He must be well versed in the latest methods of teaching, he must have a natural talent for imparting, and his love for humanity must be large enough for him to take a personal interest in every student. Vacation period gives the teacher a splendid opportunity to demonstrate these facts. If the teacher, in his close mental contact with the pupil, formulates methods of creating a desire for careful practice, and understands his pupil psychologically, he will cause him to cover so much material that parent as well as the pupil will be delighted with results obtained from increased practice during the vacation months.
NOMINATE COLORED WOMAN IN NEW JERSEY
Englewood. N. J. July 15—By A. N.P.—One of the afternoons of the Morrow landslide in New Jersey was the nomination of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Thomas of Hudson County for the general assembly on the Morrow ticket. Mrs. Thomas is the first colored woman to be designated by the Republican party of New Jersey for an office of this importance. Dr. W. F. Willoughby of Englewood, Mr. Morrow's home town, was nominated for Coroner. He led the colored voters in support of Morrow. Thomas Wallace Swann of Philadelphia was prominent in the campaign.
Aged Churchman Beaten
Philadelphia. Pa., July 15—Baptists seem to be in continual warfare in Quaker City, as is evidenced by the fact that last week more than a dozen men of the cloth were hailed into a Magistrate's Court here and tried on more or less braches in the peace. However, the worst is said to have occurred Monday at a meeting of the Baptists Minister's Conference of Philadelphia, a weekly session in Shilah Church Church, when W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, and the oldest (in point of age) Baptist pastor here, became so enraged that he struck James Eham, a local preacher, aged ninety years, knocking Mr. Eham down, and then kicking him and otherwise assaulting him while he was down, to the extent that it took the combined efforts of several clergymen to take Graham away. The affair has created quite a scandal here, because Mr. Eham, as rated standing of Mr. Eham, is a citizen, stands well in local church circles and is a pioneer in the dealing of antiques, two establishments being largely patronized by persons of wealth and refinement. Warrants have been issued for Graham's arrest.
Keep On Lynching And Re-Elect Me Says Please
Keep On Lynching And Re-Elect Me Says Please
"You have had in the United States since Parker's defeat eleven Lynchings and you will have more. We don't stand on technicalities, when that crime is committed. We simply take the law in our own hands and carry out the penalty imposed by law."
Senator Blease's address was not applauded by the 1,500 citizens who gathered on the courthouse lawn. He spoke from the steps, where a few weeks ago a mob had been urged in vain to refrain from lynching a Negro and perhaps many of the audience Monday afternoon were among the occasion.
OTHER CANIDAIES SPEAK
On the same program were other candidates including James F. Byrnes who was defeated six years ago, by Blease. It was Byrnes idea that "we are giving, too much attention to liquor and the Nigger and too little to solving our economic problems. What we need is a combination between the people of the South and the West. That is our only salvation."
Byrnes, who is seeking the same office, did not attack Blease but delivered a masterful address on the economic conditions of the country with what he termed a practical solution. But he did end his speech by saying, "If the good of North Carolina, it is good for Soo Carolina." Harris who is another candidate for the old man's job, stayed on Blease throughout his address, and concluded by saying, "Blease is full of bunk." The lynching issue has been injected in every one of Seffner Blease's speeches in his attempt to ride back into office by appealing to race pretense and lynching of the race question and lynching of the entire state and the Charleston and Courier and other dailies scoring the senator for his speeches and his endorsement of mob rule.
Speaking editorially, the News and Courier delared: "The issue in the contest for United States senator is whether or not Soo Carolina shall endure lynching.
Senator Blease made it the issue in Union
"South Carolina Democrats cannot re-nominate Senator Blease this year without indorsing lynching.
"There is no way of getting out of it. The News and Courier regrets that the issue has been made. The people cannot re-elect Mr. Blease without indorsing lynching.
"Mr. Blease's speech was not so intended. It was the greatest contribute
New York. July 15—By A.N.P.—After furnishing the newspapers with reams of copy for six years. Alice Jones Rhinelander, the colored girl of New Rochelle, who denier race in order to hold the affections her millionaire husband comes in the lime-light with a final fling, when local papers published news to the effect that the dusky belle had sold out to the tune of a cool million dollars! It was victory for the girl and her shrewd attorneys who have effectively countered and blocked every move made by expensive counsel of the blue-blood Rhinelander. And at what a price. Confident to the utmost that she would regain the love of her eccentric husband. Alice never gave up hope that he would return to her and on several occasions, it has been whispered that Kip was seen in several places in Alice. One Broadway corner of Amherst of the fact in his own peculiar style early that the pair had been seen together after the manet of lovers delighting in each other's company.
However, with Kip's departure for the Golden West, where he has assumed the role of business man, after unsuccessful and unhappy experiences in other parts of the world, Alice seemed to have lost her hold on the man who married her and then held her up for the world's gossip to ridicule and scorn.
The stories of the Rhinelander trial were unprintable but that part which did find its way into newspapers caused suppositions and inseminations which were related eagerly in whispers wherever polite witnesses watched.
But the greatest news is that the attorneys for he parties concerned, three groups, Alice's Kip's, and the ion to the propaganda of Northern Negro agitators and especially the Society for the Advancement of Colored People that has been made for years. They will say when the bill to try lynchers in federal courts shall come up again, if South Carolina shall re-elect Mr. Blease:
"Look at South Carolina, as a state it indores lynching, with white judges, white sheriffs, with courts and government all white and no Negroes on juries, it still indores lynching, it should be challenged the people to reject or impose his advice. It is the duty of the Congress of the United States to protect the lives of citizens. Shall the courts and the laws of a state that indores lynching in a state wide election be trusted to protect the lives of American citizens? "That will be the argument ior, a law to transfer trials of lynchers to the United States Courts. How can any suchgressman of So. Carolina answer it? "Senator Blease at Union made the issue plain."
Governor Offers $300 A Head For Lynchers
By A. N. P.
Montgomery, Ala., July 15—Rewards of $300 for the arrest and conviction of any of the members of the mob who lynched four Negroes at Emelie, Alabama, on Independence Day, as well as $300 for the capture of Tom Robertson and his three sons who escaped the mob have been announced by Governor Graves.
Reports from the strife-torn village say that everything is quiet but that an eagle eye is being kept for the return of Robertson and his sons who escaped after two of the family had been killed by the angry whites following the killing of a white man by one of them.
In the "celebration" two white men were killed and several wounded before the lynchers captured their first two victims, two Negroes killed had no connection with the cause of the uproar but the mob just had to kill somebody and they were fortunate enough to be in the path of the killers.
Referring to the rewards, Governor Graves said: "The rewards are not merely for Negroes who killed white men but for the arrest and conviction of anybody white or black responsible for the trouble at Emele. I am going to the bottom of this business and all implicated will be prosecuted."

So heated was the public opinion at the time of the trial, the hotel which became famous overnight as a result of the unwanted publicity it received in the trial, changed its name entirely, off the well-known Marie Antoinette, off the side of the display, where it had been prominently displayed, leaving only the words "Hotel" outside to advertise the business.

Radio Flashes
By Abe
Behind the formidable walls of cement that stoutly guard the secrets of the reel life of Hollywood, very dramatic of human life are enacted rather which oftimes some obscure "extra" or "minor" significance is pointed out by the searching inward-watering forefinger of the Master Directorate to play the leading role.
Confining attention to that group of forty-one, the original Emanuel Hall Pacific Coast Harmony makers, who have become so indefinitely linked and acquainted to the R. K. O. studios as to have become designated as the R. K. O. Chorus or the R. K. O. many a throbbing, pulsating heart, otherwise beating itself out in obscurity will be laid bare through the penetrating eyes of Abi. Melba Allen Hannah after an enforced absence of several months is back on the job, having been accorded an oberoticum welcome of directors and enlisted in the concert conceived with the chorus up until the time little Miss Hannah heralded an undeniable approach. She is back with all, the old pep and then some.
Samuel Brown. B. M. who has been tickling the ivories in Melba's place for the past four months, opened the eyes of the many to the meaning of B. M. degree. He has won the highest reward of the chorus by his thoroughly knowledge of his art he persists, some day his art will be healed, not only by Afro-Americans, but all over the musical world. He knows his music.
Manager Hall is in watch tower these days, sitting tight. His alert ears are alive to every faulty tone. Every now and then his thin lips are compressed in a straight line of determination and maybe business doesn't pick up then ano how!
Could that be the reason that certain members of the chorus are giving the rush act to the various voices sitting some so or more times per week? "The movie you know is the slogan of the movies, you are on the move all the time, even if you're only moving out.
On boy, if you ever had "it you would surely be made to want it and have it you will but cherish it the more, after you have been within carshot of those forty singers when they are "selling one of Harry Tierney's songs of sentiment.
Just one of the days when Tierney himself beams in, pouring into them out of the fullness of his creative soul. They become so imbued with the spirit of "that certain something" they ever sing and thinking of until after they had sung it over some two or three times each time with more fervor, the words becoming into spirit, flooding their minds, into toxicating their nerves, inflaming the timbers of their very souls so much so until the temperature of the room increases, becoming so thickly warm until beads of perspiration pop out on their foreheads eyes become glossy with intensity. "Whew" "someone letting off steam—then, "oh, somebody come an hug me quick!" Still they sing "Its Nothing but Love."
Results Of A Rat-Flea Survey Conducted In A Southern Port
BY ALGERNON B. JACKSON M.D.
In connection with the M.D. relating to maritime quarantine the Public Health Service has made, from time to time, special investiga ting to the likelihood of the spread of buobonic plague at several United States ports. This disease is commonly transmitted through certain species of the rat-flea, of which a rat-flea survey conducted in Norfolk, Virginia, over a period of one year have recently been announced. During this survey 1,561 live rats were captured, from which 4,898 fleas were taken. Of this number of fleas, about 80 per cent were found to be a species of rat-flea principally found in semi-tropical climates; slightly more than 17 per cent were rat fleas that are found mainly in the temperate zones; about 10 per cent were cat fleas or dog fleas. Six mouse fleas were identified.
The results obtained are expressed as indices representing the average number of fleas per live rat trapped during the investigation. The "total rat-flea" index for the port of Norfolk on the basis of this survey, was determined as 3.14. The index, for the rat-flea, which is the most common agent for the transmission of plague was 2.56. The rat-flea was found to be most numerous on the water front (not including docks) followed, in order, by the commercial district, residential district, and docks. The large gray or Norway. rat was practically the only species of rat encountered, all except four being of this species.
The rat flea index was found to

ILLNESS AND HEALTH
EDUCATION
"To him that both shall be given" this is true of work. We as physicians have had our time well occupied for the past week with the Medical Convention, and on top of that we have, particularly all, been crowded with an unusually heavy list of private practice. Due to this "Plain Facts" must be very much curtailed in this issue. The great amount of illness among us deserves some special consideration; Health Education is the only factor which will materially reduce the high rate of illness and mortality among us. 2 million people are sickled ALL TIMES and the sad part of it is that they are sick with largely PREVENTABLE DISEASES.
We, the weakest race from a health stand point, must awaken and take the lead in our country in opening the eyes of America to the mighty importance of Health Education, in its campaign against preventable diseases, "Plain Facts" and other Health Articles, by regular doctors are doing their share in this great work. In our next issue we shall give in full the Signs and Treatment and Present Incidence of Infantile Paralysis.
Diseases That May Be Transmitted By Dogs And Cats
Diseases That May Be Transmitted By Dogs And Cats
By Algernon B. Jackson, M. D.
Cats and dogs are subject to various parasites which may attack human beings also, but the practical side of the problem varies according to circumstances. In general, small house dogs are much less likely to transmit disease than are, big dogs which roam at large and in general, also, cats are less dangerous than dogs. The two most important parasitic diseases transmitted to man by dogs in north America are hydrophobia, or rabies, and hydatid disease, and of these dogs is the more serious. Mad dogs, and less frequently mad cats, can by their transmit hydrophobia to human beings. Hydrophobia does not develop in a dog that particular dog has been hitted by some other animal which has the disease. Generally, therefore, pet dogs are not likely to transmit the disease. H. however, a pet dog is hitten by a street dog, it must be regarded as in danger of developing the disease for at least six months.
Hydatid disease is a serious problem in some countries where dogs are numerous and live intimately with people, but, fortunately, it is one of the minor problems in the United States. Dogs, and more rarely cats, travel in their intestines a small tapeworm, usually less than a quarter of an inch long. This tapeworm produces eggs which the dog scatters around the field. When these eggs are swallowed by pasturing cattle, sheep, or swine, the embryo breaks loose from the egg shell and bores to the liver, lung, or some other portion of the body of the pasturing animal. It then develops into a cyst which may grow to be as large as a man's fist or even larger. In the case of numerous tapeworm heads form, when the cystdid at some country slaughterhouse, is eaten by a dog, each tiny worm head develops into a small tapeworm. If, by chance, eggs from the dog-tapeworm are swallowed by persons, either through too great intimacy with dogs or through the medium of contaminated food, man contracts the cyst, or hydatid, which is more usually found in cattle, sheep or swine. Dogs and cats which have no opportunity to eat the infected organs of other animals do not harbor the tapeworm, atid, therefore, cannot transmit hydatid disease.
follow very closely the curve of seasonal variation of relative humidity and temperature. The high rat flea index in the summer months seems to indicate an increased opportunity of fleas during the colder months may be a factor in limiting the danger of flea infestation of the port. The results of our study seem to warrant sanitary authorities considering the port as probably infecible with plague, especially during warmer months of the year (June 1 to December 1), and that the port should be diligently guarded against the introduction of plague. It appears that conditions in this city are generally favorable for rat infestation and that Norfolk has at least the average density of rat population that prevails in most cities of the South Atlantic seaboard.

Dear Public:
Just a line or two to let you know
I am still trying to furnish you with
readable news, the I declare it is so
warm here I've been half way thinking
of spending a couple of weeks
vacation with Satin down below to
sort of cool off.
Was up to Elsinope last week and spent several days. The first pop out of the hand box I ran into Fred Williams and Fred Mason, the lawyer. They said they were up there to spend the week-end and cool off. Really, I didn't have the nerve to ask them where they had been that they chose Elsinope for a cooling off spot. I also encountered Dr. Wilber Gordon mowing around Lakeshore. Mrs. Dr. Sutherman and Mr. and Mrs. Watson noticed were also enjoying the many events to be derived from drinking Elsinope waters. Wm. Nickerson, president of the Golden State Insurance Co., and L. M. Hudson of Oakland, knew others we noticed hasking in Elsinope sunshine, and byway, we zanaros the majority of Dr. Hudson's family camped just below Attorney Clarence Jones, whose wife and children were contributing much advertisement to Elsinope as a health resort.
Met Geo. Grant and found him a booster. George has been pretty sick but he is coming back strong.
This week I notice we have the the Medical and Dental Association Convention in our city. They are really organized and the rate they are going are destined to become one of the strongest in the country.

John Taylor, whose one ambition is to put the rollers under Rolph, indite Fitts, and elect Young, is again in our midst campaigning for a lost cause. John is all right, but unfortunately he's riding a bad mount.
Went down to Watts Tuesday to the Fitts campaign opening. We thought it was the Fourth of July the noise they made.
Well, I am inclined to conclude this letter owing to the extreme warm weather. Hope each and every one of you are, enjoying good health. Don't forget if we don't elect no one else let us put over Attorney Eugene Jennings for the Superior Court.
THE TRAFFIC ART ERY OF TWO CONTINENTS
一
Like a great blood artery carrying the red corpuscles of trade and pleasure traffic is the proposed Pan-American Highway, 15,000 miles in length, that would wind through the Pacific Coast from British Columbia down into the heart of the vast South American continent.
It had its inception merely as a dream of road builders but has assumed material shape which is expected to reach a climax at the Pan-American Reciprocal Trade Conference in Sacramento. August 25th to 30th.
This project of the linking of empires is on the program of the Conference and will receive serious consideration by the delegates governmental and industrial leaders from every section affected.
Actual work already has been started at the two terminals of the highway, in British Columbia where the road will link with Alaska, and in the Argentine Republic where an appropriation has been made for survey of a road across the Andes from Buenos Aires to Santiago Chile. In Central American the United States Government is furthering the work with an appropriation of $50,000 for a survey. This great highway, when complete, will obtain the same results as the telephone and automobile in 2 communities which previous adaptation to general use

Yeaza, Ecuadorian delegate to the Pan American Reciprocal Trade Conference in Sacramento. August 25 to 30, says they always have been made in his native land. They obtained the name of Panama from the fact the unfinished product is shipped to Panama for shaping and sizing, being re-exported from that land.
Yeaza remarks it is like China learning how to shop suey from America; so it is with Panama trying to learn how to make Panama hats from Ecuador.

YOUNG GIRL DIES AFTER
PRIZE ILLNESS
The news of the passing of Susie Stepp, 16-year-old daughter of Mrs. Rowena Stepp, came as a painful shock to the many friends of the family. Up until about nine days prior to her death Susie was apparently in the best of health, cheerful, sweet and lovable as were her natural traits of character, and attending Jefferson High School looking forward to graduate within the next two years as she was an unusually bright student.

Preston Clippers "trick" balls were more than once a misuse to the men players. He struck out Blue Brownlee, Ford and others. Goins and Elder hurled good ball throughout. A three bagger by Vernon Benson and doubles by Brownlee and "Chuck" Echols were features of the game. During odd moments Bill "McGraw" Warren livened the afternoon by humorous remarks that were both timely and witty.
OPEN LETTER
Our obligation to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People:
Every individual has his or her obligations. Among them we have obligations of family, friends, church, race and country. It is natural for one to have this family the closest of all ties. The best friend next. We feel one obligation to church and lodge and support them for what they have meant to us. as a race spiritually and socially, they have served the good purpose of schooling us in the art of organization.
But do we, as Negroes, feel our obligation to the more unfortunate of the race? Do we of the west and of the earth, in particular, realize that there are millions of Negroes right here in this "glorious land" in such states as Mississippi; Georgia; Arkansas and Texas who are only hali free?
the return of the writer from France as "a soldier of Democracy," we traveled from Newport News, Va.; Camp Pike Arkansas through North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi in Georgia on the 26th of July, with a two Negro women, some body's law, a cotton and a white man standing by, foreman over a crew of two; and in Mississippi we had the pleasure of secreting a young woman and two boys.

FOX AND WARNER'S CHARTE
PLANE FOR FOUR COVANS
In order to get the "Four Covans" famous dance team here in time to open for six weeks at Warner Bros. Hollywood Theatre, the Fox and Warner Bros. corporation jointly chartered a plane to bring them from San Francisco yesterday. Its capacity for this developed from the fact that Fox for whom they were appearing insisted on them finishing out the week there but agreed to get them back to Warner's in time. Leaving at 9:30 yesterday morning they arrived at 12 and open at Warner's tonight. The noted team which consisted of the well known John Jackson.

SENATOR TALLANT TUBBS
Senator Tallant Tubbs Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Visits City
I would serve my constituency with freedom and independence, having due regard for party affiliations, and that my sole aim would be the best interests of the electors of my district and the state. I further stated that a woman or man who is not controller by any organization, corporation, or individual, can be of more service as a public official than one who, through obligations, may not be free to act independently. I continue to so believe. My record will show me to have been consistent and fair-minded in my attitude toward labor and industry. Veterans' Welfare, education public health, the conservation of natural resources of the state, agriculture, highway development and to have been aggressive in my support of all humanitarian measures, campaign, and the people are insist-ant upon the modification of the prohibition law. While here, besides meeting friends and making hundreds of new ones, he talked up K-F-L with a state-wide hook up.
We are informed Senator Tubbs has the united backing of the entire Leu. Governor and he is looked upward. He is to win the Republican nomination.
The following is an excerpt from Senator Tubb's announcement to the voters for the position which he seeks: "beg to submit to the voters of California my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor to be chosen by them at the primary election on August 26th.
"In my campaigns for State Senat or I laid emphasis upon the fact that "In my present campaign I will be frank to discuss an issue which I be liev is of importance to the voters. No other national or tate issue has caused mope discredit to some of our country's office holders or has brought hypocrytacy into their lives or records. I believe in temperance and I am convinced that the saloons should never again, be tolerated. A large part of our citizens know that the present prohibition was cannot be enforced and that while these laws have done some good, they have done, and are doing a great deal of hope believe that these laws, rather than representing the desires of the majority of the people, actually represent the efforts of a minority which, by the questionable expenditure of millions of dollars, seized upon a war time opportunity to impose this limitation on our civil liberties
"I believe that every citizen should obey and help enforce laws, but for the reasons above cited I am for modification.
"The Lentenant-Governor of California has the sole appointing power of Senate Committees and I assure the people that if I am elected bills dealing with prohibition will be assigned to representative committees
By J. B. BASS
What need is there for a man on the type of Curtis Mosby to care for underserved innuendos cast his way when the manhood and womanhood knowing of his worth. are crying aloud for more such characters to help them in their battle to reach the very heights of progress. There is not one individual who of America who is doing more in their particular sphere for economic advancement than our group than Curtis Mosby. There are not empty words but are cold facts. Facts backed up by $15,000.00 per month paid out to members of his own race.
He is the one bright spot as an impressario he has, raised up and held aloft the standard of musical genius and talent the highest degree. But for the genius of M. Negro performers and musical talent there no entries on these natic shores.
He needs to worry not; for the nobler sons of this community have said to the pernicious envious and malicious character assasins—thus far and no further—Justice asserting itself at the alter of truth will bow, and men of genius, men of progress, men of character and real builders shall ever have the appreciation and gratitude of a Justice loving people.
HOLD YOUTH ON
Natchitoches, La. July 15—By A. N. P.—At preliminary hearing, Willie Wright of Derry, who was arrested ten days ago on charge of throwing a switch on the Texas and Pacific Railroad between Derry and Cypress, was remanded to the Natchitoches Parish Jail, where he will await action of grand jury in December. It is allogenee that Wright attempted to cearal a freight train June 29th by breaking a lock and throwing a switch half open. The engineer of the freight train the warning signal in time to stop the train before it reached that point. The charge is the second of its kind of which Wright has been accused, he having been acquitted in 1928 on a charge of piling cross ties on the Texas and Pacific track.
and not to committees selected or dictated by prohibition propagandists. "I want my legislative record to be in writing and discussed and trust that it will be used to preside over the boy of which I have been a member since 1824."
Senator Tallant Tubbs is a Republican can from the Nineteenth Senatorial District of San Francisco. He is a World War Veteran, having served in the American Army air forces, and is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West, and was enrolled at Yale University at the outbreak of the war.

He has been chairman of the Military Affairs committee of the Senate and the Committee on Manufacturers, and has served on Senate Committees of Corporations, Education, Finance, Governmental Efficiency, Public Utilities, Reapportment, Revenue and Taxation.
He was active in sponsoring the legislation by which the State aided veterans in acquiring homes by State loans, and won wide commendation from California women's clubs for his successful attack on the "intelligence tests" bill of Senator Baker which required to grade and classify school children for "criminal tendencies". Tubbs was enclosed by the Associated War Veterans in 1924 and 1928. He has been in the American Legion since 1919, and is a member of the Fred Bunch Post in San Francisco.

cal Pharmaceutical and Dental Association Closes Successful Session
OAKLAND, CALIF. NEXT MEETING PLACE
After a very successful session lasting from Monday to Wednesday exclusive and holding forth at the 2nd Baptist Church the State Convention of the above named Association closed Wednesday.
Oakland, California was selected as the next meeting place.
The grand formal ball held at 15th Street was one of the high lights amid the social functions radiating from the convention.
The grand opening on last Monday despite the semi-tropical weather was well attended and a most splenoid program was rendered, consisting of addresses indespersed with musical numbers. The speakers were Dr. Isaac Dorc, Pres., Dr. B. L. Boswell; Editor J. B. Bass Hoei, M. Roberts; Dr. S. W. Smith of Chicago, Dr. O. A. Newman, Oakland, Calif.; Musical numbers by Mrs. L. Harper Dones and others.
Tuesday's session, was taken up with health discussions and the reading of papers perfient to the various professions.
Surgical Clinic—discussed by Dr. C. S. Diggis; S. W. Smith; R. S. Whitaker.
Surgical Dental Clinic (at his office) by Dr. B. A. Jordan.
And all along the fine during Tuesday and Wednesday every phase of medicine. Surgery, Dental and Pharmacy was discussed for the highest efficiency for their professions.
POLITICAL POT PIE
POLITICAL POT PIE
Judge Daly S. Stafford, firm and stunch friend of the people, stands for advancement to the Superior Court and we are satisfied such characters as Judge Stafford with miscellaneous devotion for all people, will not seek in vain for advancement.
The Rolph for Governor forces held what was advertised as a monster rally at Watts on last Monday evening; 27 persons were present. At the same place on Tuesday evening the Fitts forces held forth with more than 200 present. Quite a contrast, so it is said.
Arthur L. Reese, well-known and popular citizen-of Venice, is a prime favorite to win a place on the Republican County Central Committee from the 57th Assembly district. His friends are legion and all are pulling for him as high man on his ticket for the August primaries.
Leaders from throughout the state will be in attendance at the Masonic Grand Lodge which convenes in Fresno next Monday. While a Masonic Grand Lodge is no political battleground there will be many whispers passed just the same.
We have disquieting reports this week anent the much tooted Holph for Governor organization on the Eastside. In fact, we hear they have all quit cold and the reason we have not learned.
The truth of the matter regardless of all others, is that no organization could stand up with the kind of burk some of the organizations speakers were guilty of trying to put over. This is no reflection on C. H. Alston either.
Melodian Singers' Concert
Mine. Lillian Edwards is presenting Mattie Cunnings-Westfield's all trained Melodian Singers in their first concert Thursday evening, July 24th at Music Art Studio, 233 So. Broadway.

As the Governor stated his case there can through the length and breadth of the spacious City club slight grunts and suggestive moans, Just what they meant we are not as yet sure, but as the Governor went on to say, that he had served California in an official way for the past twenty-two years or more, we took it that these suggestive sounds signified that it was time for the venerable Governor to back off the official stage and let a younger and more active mind function in the capacity of governor of the great State of California—and that individual happens to be Buron Fitts.
It was positively pathetic to hear Governor Young in halting accents attempt to explain away the increase in taxation upon the citizens of California. He explained that in 1909 when he went to Sacramento there was no budget but that in 1922 he gave the State a budget in which there were two kinds of funds. However, with his putting the finances of California on a budget basis it has increased the taxation on the small home owner to the extent that the taxation levied per annum on the home is greater than the assessed valuation of the property.
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, the woman candidate for governor, followed Governor Young as next speaker. She advised the women of the City club that the men thought

that they should occupy all high political places and women should not even aspire, but, "I am your candidate for governor, and I submit my case to you on the record of my family in this state, and I am going to be the next governor of California. It is hardly necessary for me to ask you girls to go to the polls on August 20 and vote for me because I know you are going to do it. Governor Young has told you how he has been a member of the State's official family for the past twenty-two years. I have listened to him make a feeble attempt at explaining away his part in the over taxation of the people of California which explanation I am sure was not altogether satisfactory. Anyhow, girls let's tell the good Governor of California that he has served long and well but that no longer is there a place in the body politic for him. During these long years of service his accomplishments and enmilions should be sufficient to the end that Governor Young would accept a bon voyage from us and go on a long trip of pleasure.
Licutenant Governor Carnahan said he was heartily in sympathy with the Young administration, however he realized that the people of the Stats were being over-taxed and that something would have to be done to relieve them of this excess taxation. Licutenant Governor Carnahan was asked why was it he had received $105.000 for acting as a receiver for the Julian corporation while the defunct Julian stockholders received nothing. Mr. Carnahan admitted that he had received $105.00 but he certainly tried to give good service for the money received.
The people of California are crying for relief from over-taxation and they see in their desire for relief along this line one individual representing future hope for them and that hope is none other than Buron Fitts.

Friends and visitors are invited to attend any or all of the services at Grant, Chapel. They will always be cordially welcomed.
Macedonia Baptist Church, Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor—We began the day with a very large S. W. Many were out and took very active part in the lesson. The 11 o'clock services were excellent with a large number in attendance. The sermon was preached by Pastor Curtis.
In the afternoon at two o'clock the American Legion held an interesting session. Comrade Robinson was the speaker of the Evening and presented the flag to the Scout-Master Mr. LeRoy Kelly. Mr Kelly made a wonderful response after which we indulged in singing the Star Spangled Banner while they saluted the flag. At 3:30 Rev. Carter of Pasaocena and some of the representatives of Friendship came out and Rev. Carter preached a very splendid sermon. We were glad to have this wonderful man or God with us and his people.
The B. Y. P. U. held its regular session with a very interesting lesson. Mr. Lee Copney had charge of the lesson for the period of time. We were again in our closing services for the day. Rev. Curtis had charge. Monday evening was the closing of our Pastor's 5th Anniversary. A banquet was given, preceding was a very splendid program rendered. We were favored with honor of having out-of-town-guests on our program in the person of Miss Velma Bledsoe, who is directress of one of our Southern Universities and Little Miss Ruby Irene Kirk of Portland. Other talents were of our own church and community. The Aditorium was filled and a splendid time was enjoyed by all.
Every one separately in one accord giving encouragement to our pastor. We ended this year's work with a determination of a greater program for another year. A large Anniversary cake was presented to the pastor. This beautiful, large cake was baked by Sister Aye, one of our very faithful associated members. Regular services for next Sunday all are requested to be present.
Mrs. Mammie Fotter will be the soloist for the morning services.

Lucille Martin was always a girl of outstanding ability and character. Her friends and the people she cane in contact with can testify to the great influence for good she had over her associates. She was especially well known as an ardent Y. W. C. A. worker being identified principally with the

At the time she became ill she was attending the Long Beach Junior College where her outstanding personality and ability won the respect, admiration, and affection of both her classmates and instructors.

POLITICAL MEANDERING
By
CORINNE BETTIS SMITH

Friday, July 18, 1930
Each gubernatorial candidate has launched his campaign for governor and thinks he will be elected. We can't extend our best wishes to each candidate but we want it understood we are not against any one but we are FOR Pitts for governor irrevocably.
Judge Sheldon seems to be very busy at this time establishing headquarters in the Broadway Temple building. His energetic little wife is managing his campaign and is quite capable.
* * *
Thomas Mould running for Superior Court office No. 2 seems to have been lost in the shuffle. He started his campaign with an abundance of optimism and enthusiasm but seems to have dropped by the wayside.
---
Will some one please page that Beau Bummel of the legal family, Mr. Stanley Visel and tell him time and tide wait for no man. If he hopes to be elected to office No. 5 at the Primaries, he must begin today and keep his business engagements. He must arrange to keep the campaign fires burning.
* * *
We are hoping some time in the very near future to have Mr. Hugh L. Dickson, who aspires for election to the Superior Court bench, office No. 1, speak to our group. We want to know this wonderful character better as we are sincerely interested in him.
---
Please remember Mr. Hopkins, our incumbent assessor is not only honest and efficient, but is also unbased and appoints his employees through Civil Service as they merit and never has shown discrimination on account of race. He has employed in his department at this time seven persons of our group. Two of them have been in his office since 1913.
---
Among the man, candidates aspiring for office is Judge Walter B. Thompson, who is running for office No. 6. Judge Thompson is a self-made man, who comes from the ranks of the common people; has an outstanding record of honesty, faithfulness and fearless service and may be expected if elected to office to administer justice tempered with mercy. He merits your favorable consideration.
---
Mrs. Oda Faulconer is still piling up votes for the election. She is one of the most popular candidates in the campaign. Mrs. Faulkner attends more than three meetings every evening.
Judge Hardy was one of the speakers at the meeting of the Presidents' Council Just Thursday, of the Republican Study clubs at the residence of Dr. Elzora Gibson. Other speakers on the program were Stanley Visel, Edward W. Hopkins, incumbent assessor, Judge Collier, Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts, Judge Daily Stafford.
The Wednesday Morning Breakfast club entertained Wednesday evening, July 9th with a political garden party. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns and the ladies were dressed in organies and volles of pastel shades. A number of candidates were present and made short speedies. Those who were present were Mr. La Plante. Judge Guerin. Hugh Crawford, Daily Stafford, Walter B. Thompson, Attorney Stanley Visel, Senator McKinley and Hon. Frederick M. Roberts. The evening was enjoyably spent, giving each candidate a chance to meet the members and guests individually. Dainty refreshments were served. Each member busied herself making the guests feel at home and hospitality reigned supreme. The party was given at the home of Mrs. Mosley on 115th street. Mrs. A. E. Walker is the president of the Wednesday Morning Breakfast club and Mrs. Pratter is secretary.
Judge Charles E. Haas is surly and truly a man of sterling capabilities. He is sincere and honest, and is a gentleman and scholar of the old school.
Attorney Engene Jennings is a very popular sneaker at all the meetings of the Fitts, Rolph and Young campaign meetings. If he could divide himself he could be in three places at the same time.
LOST-At Elsinore on July 4th an army blanket. This was a keep-sake of my deceased husband. Finder please return same to this office and receive a liberal reward.

Judge Valentine though very busy,
is beginning to organize his campaign

"Kelly for Sheriff" seems to be the slogan in many districts at this time.
The campaign for sheriff is going to be a clean fight you may rest assured of that. The three outstanding contestants are Treager, Kelly and Plummer. All three of these men have too much respect for the intelligence of the voters of this county to resort to mud slinging.
BURON FITTS GAINING STRENGTH
Buron Fitts is gaining strength in northern California at a rate alarming to his opponents according to Donald McClure, field director of the Fitts for Governor campaign north of the Tehachapi.
"Already it is safe to place Fresno, Alameda, San Joaquin and Marin countise in the Fitts column." McClure declared. "Within two weeks at least a dozen other leading counties of the north will also be there.
"In San Francisco where Rolph is conceded to be very strong, Fitts is also making inroads, a crystallization of sentiment in his' favor resulting from his outspoken declarations on vital problems of state government.
"Everywhere in the north there is a wave of public resentment toward the present administration. Political leaders attribute this to Governor Young's dilatory manner in handling taxation, water and penology problems. They feel that the governor has failed miserably in the matter of tax relief.
"The north also views his handling of the Mooney case as one of the outstanding examples of the administration's practice of shifting responsibility.
"State government is overrun with commissions and when a commission is not available to handle some distasteful problem which the governor himself should dispose of, another commission is created for the purpose.
"The thinking people of northern California realize that Southern California is not securing her just proportion of representation in government. They feel that it is time for the south to provide a governor. I understand that but once in 28 years has the chief executive of this state come from a southern county."
Then, too, friends; here is a list of wet newspapers lined up behind Mr Young, the candidate receiving the League endorsement, they are: The San Francisco Examiner, the Los Angeles Examiner, The Evening Herald, owned by William Rancolph Hearst; second only in point of witness are the three papers owned by the Mc Clatchy Brothers, they are the Sacramento Bee, Fresno Bee, and Modesto Herald. These two chains together with the Los Angeles Record form the backbone of Young's newspaper support. If there are any wet papers supporting Fitts we are not aware of it."

Young And The Anti- Saloon League
The California Voice, recognized organ of the Prohibition party in California, has taken the Anti-Saloon League to task for its endorsement of Governor C. C. Young. In its current issue the Voice points out that an asserted "unchanging rule" of the League was ignored by the executive board when that board voted to endorse Young.
The Voice views the action of the League as indefensible especially when considered in the light of the newspaper support given Young. The only support among the newspapers of the State found in the Young camp is that of notoriously wet and notoriously Democratic papers.
The Voice article follows:
LEAGUE'S 'UNCHANGING RULE'
THAT CHANGED
Friends have written us and expressed great surprise that the Anti-Saloon League made an endorsement in the Fitts-Young fight for the Republican nomination for governor on August 26th. We confess that it does seem a little strange in view of the League's unchanging rule that where both candidates stand for the measures for which they stand, they make no endorsement.
And now for a bit of history. Ten years ago there were two dry candidates for Congress from the Ninth Congressional District, and a letter in our possession from Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Southern California, S. T. Montgomery, shows what the League did under a similar situation such as we are now facing, and this letter also puts the League on record as to their UNCHANGING RULE (which was changed in the year 1930 in order to endorse C. C. Young). But here's the letter verbatim under date of Dec. 19, 1922:
"Your letter of Dec. 13th just at hand. I am enclosing copy of the endorsements of the Anti-Saloon Leagues for Southern California. You will note in the Ninth Congressional District there were two candidates only. one Mr. Walter F. Lineberger, a Christian man of ability and high character and a vigorous, outstanding defender of all moral issues, which of course includes the temperance issue, now in Congress; the other Charles H. Randall, also a Christian gentleman of several years experience, previously, in Congress. We follow our unchanging rule. Where both candidates stand for the measures that we stand for, we give no special endorsement. I have in my possession a personal letter from Mr. Randall, written two years ago, expressing his appreciation of our fairness in making just such an endorsement. I was with him time and again on the platform during the campaign and from all I could see he was perfectly satisfied that he had done the only thing we could and be just.
Now keep in mind, reader, that the rule of the League in endorsing two dry candidates is UNCHANGING, and that they did with Lineberger and Randall, in NOT RECOMMENDING ONE OVER THE OTHER, the "only thing that they could do and be just." They say in their report that ooth Fitts and Young are QUALIFIED AND ACCEPTABLE TO THEM, that 'Either of these two men qualifies for the governorship, such is personally clean and politically trustworthy,' and then they proceed to change their 'un-changing Rule' and endorse Governor Young over Fitts. The least that the League could have done was to have refrained from making any endorsemen, especially as that was their policy, under such circumstances.
We would suggest to the drys who have a two or five year pledge with the League, and on which you are paying, that you be sure the League is working for the same candidate for Governor for whom you are PAYING. It is your right and privilege to know where your money is going.

Men have loved to say that women have not the judicial type of mind. That they are too emotional. But it would be hard to find any child born with a judicial mind. Little boys are just as emotional as little girls and if there is any difference in their feelings of partisanship, it has never been discovered. Boys will favor other boys in any case that comes up among children and the rights of the matter can go hang as far as a little boy is concerned. Under no circumstances will a real boy play play and stock with the girls against his fellows.
And emotions aren't the sole possession of the gentler sex. Just watch the big white hankies come sneaking out of coat pockets at some touching scene in the movies. Listen to the violent nose blowings that cover up surreptitious dabs at most eyes. Men and women are equally emotional.
It takes years of training and self discipline to develop a judicial mind in a man and the same course of training will produce equal results in a woman providing she has an equal amount of gray matter to start with. Oda Faulconer has both the training and the gray matter. Her record as an attorney and a business woman establish that fact. She has far more. She has the fighting courage God gives to women sometimes. The courage that never realize the possibility of defeat. That sweeps through the difficulties of life as Niagra flows over the Falls, generating a power that illumines every doubtful shadow.
W. HOPKINS For Assessor
ED
Headquarters:
ROSSLYN HOTEL
[Name]
Having completed the task of enrolling upwards 1,400,000 parcels of property and the most varied assortment of personal possessions in all the world, amounting to approximately $4,500,000 in assessed values, County Assessor Ed W. Hopkins today is turning his attention from the year's work to devote a few spare hours to his candidacy for re-election.
Ed W. Hopkins for more than a score of years has held this important office which has grown with Los Angeles County values that have doubled and quadrupled in the last two decades. His integrity in office and multiplied thousands of friends are bringing to him endorsements of not only the press, but property owners whose interests would be most adversely affected were an amateur to direct the assessment. Associations, individuals, and the voters generally accept the candidacy of the assessor as tanta-mount to re-election.
However as Leslie R. Saunders, executive vice-chairman of the committee of citizens handling the Ed W. Hopkins campaign with headquarters at the Rosslyn Hotel, points out, it is vital that the public remember that
M.
Senator Lyon has served in the Legislature for the past sixteen years and has an enviable record. Los Angeles County is to have but one senator and it should have the benefit of Senator Lyon's wide experience. The Senator's record shows that he passed all measures for the establishment and maintenance of the university at Los Angeles; that he is the author of the Bill for the Construction of a State Building in Los Angeles; that he is the author of Concurrent resolution Memorializing Congress to reduce tax on smaller Incomes; that he supported the Old Age Pension Laws the Eight-Hour Law for Women and other humanitarian measures and that he was the author of the measure providing State Aid for Olympic Games in Los Angeles. A vote to return Senator Lyon to the State Senate is a vote for good, economical government.

Senator J. W. McKinley Incumbent, Seeks Re-Election
THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
One of the outstanding candidates for re-election to public office this year is Senator J. W. McKinley, incumbent senator from the 38th district, who is now seeking election as the one senator from Los Angeles county. Under the new law only one man may be sent to the state senate from each county, and proponents of Senator McKinley are pointing out that he is highly qualified for such an important post.
Senator McKinley has opened headquarters at 915 Haas building where he will wage an active campaign, based on his voting record in the senate and on his personal qualifications.
Born in Los Angeles, Senator Mc Kinley was educated in the public schools here and, later, at the State University and Harvard. He entered the practice of law in Los Angeles, and this practice has only been interrupted in civic duties. During the world war he saw active service in France, and shortly after his return he became a leader in public affairs. He was one of the most active men in the campaign to elect President Herbert Hoover.

THE IDLE WORD—
The idle word that stings is as old as human speech. Spoken thoughtlessly or spoken in a moment of irritation, it says more than the speaker meant. At least it says more than he would have said if he had taken second thought. Too often in a hasty moment one who really would not for worlds cause lasting hurt does just that because he reaches for the first remark that will register.
These idle words go deep, deep into the heart and memory of the one to whom they are addressed. There is no way of reaching this harm by laws and courts. There is no way of resolving that one will never say the thing that causes needless hurt, except by resolving to build up a habit in one's life of saying only kindly things until quiet reflection has shown the need of something else.
This is not a text for weaklings, a counsel of meekness to the point of being trodden upon. It was not a weak man who prayed, "Set a watch before the door of my lips," nor a fool who wrote, "She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
All women are more or less vain—few less.
A hair on the head is worth two on the comb.
Many people with nothing to do make the mistake of doing it.
Men's suits haven't changed much since last year except that some of them look a year older.
When a girl says she is blushing these days you have to take her word for it.
It isn't a moral sense that makes the flapper seem offensive. It is hardening of the arteries.
COMMENTS
W. J. WHEATON
Sixty Negro "Gold Star Mothers" headed by Mrs., Lucy Johnson, Pittsburg, Pa., sailed on the U. S. American Merchant July 12th. They will visit the graves of their relatives who were killed in the World War and are buried in France. Here is the shame of it: "Reluctance of transatlantic steamship lines to carry the members of the Negro Gold Star Mothers delegation has forced the War Dept. to charter an entire ship of the American Merchant lines, it became known here today," says Universal Service. Further information is, that none of the North Atlantic Steamship Council actually refused to carry the delegation but they placed such onerous conditions on the passage of the Negro mothers of war heroes that the Secretary of War, Hurley, decided to obviate all the trouble by chartering an entire ship. It is claimed one company declared it would have to replace white stewards with colored employees if they carried the delegation.
Such conditions never would have existed if the War Department; (To use the venacular of the prize ring) had sufficient "Guts" to have ignored the protests of a few "Hill Billies" and treated alike every mother whose son had paid the Supreme Sacrifice.
"I would suffer twice" said a Negro mother to this writer. Her contribution to the cause of World Democracy is two boys. One less under the sod in France. Killed in action: The other came back broken in health to dit. "I would suffer twice when I knelt at his grave an delft my loss, and when I considered that I had to visit the sacred place under humiliating conditions. No, I will stay at home." Brave mother! Worthy mother of the sons who died in the service of THEIR COUNTRY. She gave those boys to her country. Feel a pride that they acquitted themselves as men. She deemed it unworthy of their sacrifice to accent humiliation.
Nothing that the President has done can atone for his acquiescence in the humilating order issued by the War Department segregating the Gold Star Mothers of Negro soldiers killed in the battles of the World War. He is the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy. There is no doubt that the Negro mothers would have preferred to travel together. The fact that they were ordered to do so is the humiliating feature. If the Secretary of War had obtained the opinion of the Mothers the vast majority would have wished to make the pilgrimage in company of their own race women. The silence of the Commander in Chief is in line with his mute acquiescence in other domestic matters. There has been an increase in lynching activities. They started immediately after he was inaugurated as President and have increased in atrocity with each act. There has not been even the usual "we deplore the unlawful acts" which has usually came from the White House when mob activities become too acute.
Of course one can sympathize with his Excellency for his absent mindness. Internationalism has occupied his attention to the exclusion of affairs at home. The London Treaty for instance. What with the doughty, Senator Hiram Johnson chiding him for trying to draw the nation into foreign entanglements. Hale; Norris; Moses, and a host of other patriots chiding him for un-Americanism and his Czaristic attitude in refusing to acknowledge the Senate as a co-equal treaty making body; he has no time to take cognizance of a few Negro lives being sacrificed to appease the racial hate of the mob. Tariffs; Prohibition and London Treaties are questions of moment, but nothing should supersede the right of every citizen to the protection assured them under the Constitution. The right of life liberty and happiness. To be a President for all of the people, was the pre-election promise. We are waiting for its fulfillment.
Gerald Drew, San Francisco, has been assigned to the U.S. Legation at Haiti as third secretary. He is at present Vice-Consul at Para, Brazil. Drew was graduated from the University of California in the class of "24" passed the examination for foreign consulate service in "27". The Moton committee sent by the President to make a survey of the educational needs of the Haitian Republic will return some time in July, it is stated. A school patterned after the famous Tuskegee might be recommended for the Island Republic. There is no doubt that some school of that pattern would be splendid for the mass. The Republic has had a surfiet of the "intelligentia." It is that class who have kept the Republic in perpetual turmoil and strife. Whenever a highly educated person

PECULIAR SLANTS
Our good white folks have a peculiar slant about some things which happen. For instance, Keaton who shot Mr. Flint had a Shuler Magazine in his pocket in which was an article about the Julian Thieves, and for this reason Rev. Bob Shuler was responsible. Suppose he had a Holy Bible in his pocket, we wonder if one of the disciples or Jesus Christ himself would have been responsible. Then again, City Prosecutor Nix saw himself slipping and tried to catch on to a popular chord which proved a dud.
As a matter of fact all peoples regret the tragic act in which one of the city's foremost citizens lost his life. But why seek to blame anybody, except the diseased brain of the assassin. It was the same with Guitteau who short Garfield and of Czolgz who killed President McKinley or even J. Wilks Booth who killed the Great Emancipator.
ON ITS WAY
As will be demonstrated through these columns in this and succeeding issues, we are on our way with the proposition for the better improvement of economic conditions for our group. Political events are but fleeting moments and are by no means the salvation of a people who are striving to get to the top in the avenues of trade and business enterprise.
We are calling upon all forces to gird up their armours and enlist in this warfare and no better slogan has ever been designed than: "Don't trade where you cannot work." To accumulate and more forcibly launch this thought we shall give unusual publicity to all angles of economics looking forward to the interests of our group. We appreciate the growing sentiment along this line to the utmost and we have every assurance we shall win a most glorious victory along this line of effort.
SENATOR HENRY T. ALLEN, OF KANSAS
The Colored people of Kansas are fighting Senator Henry J. Allen on account of his vote for Judge Parker. They are deing so notwithstanding the fact the Senator has been the most powerful political friend the Negro ever had in Kansas when there was work to be done. They are fighting despite the fact that he shouted NO to the Governor of Arkansas when he demanded the return of a Negro refugee to face Judge Laynch. These are but a few of the things which Senator Allen has wrought for the Colored citizens of Kansas.
We are of the opinion his service to the group has been such that it outweighs his act in writing for Judge Parker, especially so when the Judge was defeated.
We have out here in California the very spectacle of a few of our group who should know better, actually fighting the only public official who ever gave them a look in for real sure enough recognition. Can you beat it?
CRIME AND YOUTH—
Growing up in the city is a precious business for our youth, according to police statistics of the United States. Police of several of the larger cities estimate that 75 per cent of the nation's crime is committed by young boys and that the hardest criminal conditions to correct by the customary court and prison methods of redemption are those created by erring youth.
The prevalence of crime among the juvenile element of the cities is attributed to improper home conditions, poverty, lack of restraint, many temptations and in many instances to the absence of understanding and sympathetic police and courts. Boys and girls will listen to reason and will respond to kind treatment but they rebel against mistreatment and undeserved punishment. There is a certain adult criminal class which is unredeemable, but there are few juvenile wrongdoers who cannot be salvaged.
Much of the so-called juvenile crime in the larger cities is known in the smaller towns and rural districts as harmless mischief. The city boys with an appetite for apples but without the pennies are hailed into the juvenile court for petty larceny and on the first or second offense are committed to reformatories. In the country "snitching" apples, watermelons and corn is a part of a boy's education. He does it with no criminal intent but in the belief that it is his perogative to raid the farmer's fields and that it is the farmer's perogative to chase him
Thousands of boys are being placed in reformatories in red WI cities every year for acts of petty thievery, although the public, the police and the courts realize that self-restraint and self-denial are not instinctive with adult mankind, much less with adolescent youth. It is training, not punishment, which teaches youth to difference between right and wrong and the beneficial juvenile courts are those which lead little boys and girls in the right direction and nct into resentment and forced association with seasoned criminals.
REAL EVIL OF GAMBLING-
"Gambling," says Sir Walter Scott, in the introduction to "St. Roman's Well," is "a vice which the devil has contrived to render all his own, since it is deprived of whatever pleads an apology for other vices, and is founded entirely on the cold-blooded calculation of the most exclusive selfishness."
The prevalence of the vice calls for some straight thinking concerning its iniquity. Too many persons, including both "society" women who play bridge and street urchins who roll dice in back alleys, do not consider gambling inherently wrong. Their attitude is that it is only to be condemned if one's losses upon the gambler to suffer. One often hears them say that are so great as to be embarrassing or cause those dependent they look upon their loss as no more than a reasonable outlay for the entertainment that they get from the game. Then, too, they are in the habit of saying loosely that all life is a gamble, that everyone is constantly taking hazards.
They ignore the fundamental fact that gambling at dice and cards is immoral because it is an attempt to win money by making somebody else lose it. There is no way for the gambler to profit except by causing his opponent to suffer.
This is the crux of the matter and must be emphasized if people are to be made to believe that gambling is an evil in itself, independently of whether one can afford to lose. Can one afford to win, or try to win, at the expense of another should be asked.

would arrive from his matriculation at some foreign university they would be imbued with the idea that anything frought with labor was beneath their dignity. Failing in all else, they would start a revolution of some kind in order to obtain some part in the government. It was rule or ruin, and oftener, ruin. If Moton and his committee succeed in convincing the protelariat that there is reward in honest toil, they will have done much to rthe betterment of Haiti.
Ku Klux Klan threats will never deter Congressman, Oscar De Priest from keeping his speaking engagement in Alabama. That is, if we know our DePriest, and we think we do. All of the threats made from now till the day of doom will never cause the militant representative from Illinois to back ground. And more, we are of the opinion that he will not allow himself to be intimidated and will speak the thoughts of his mind. Many of his acts have been open to criticism. Sometimes it is thought that he should use more diplomacy, but, after all, we can not but help admire the fearlessness with which he has tackled every question presented. We have learned from some of the oldest members of the House that DePriest is becoming one of the most popular members of, that body.
This is a crucial time in California history. The progress in growth is unparalleled. With the increase in population questions affecting the entire citizenry have arose. Problems of taxation, reclamation, and the stability of finance. As citizens we should be concerned in these problems. "Milk maid statesmanship will not, can not, solve them. Spectacular appeals to the voters are entertaining but they have no bearing on the matters of government. They must be settled by mature thought. It takes experience in statecraft as in all else. The man who has two decades of legislative experience; who is honest and trustworthy; who has wrought an orderly government out of chaos, is more competent to solve problems affecting the welfare of the people than one who bases his claim as a 'champion' in drawing the laceal fluid from contented cows."
When the laity of the Methodist Church South, said that the usefulness of Bishop Cannon was nullified by his political activities, which unearthed other irregularities in his ministerial career, they but declaimed that which every sane person is acquainted. Namely; you can not serve God and Mammon. There never has been a time when a preacher delved into the realms of professional politics that his garments have not been smirched. With all these former examples it seems strange that Negro preachers will continue to make themselves conspicuous by their political activities. When they prostitute their religion and the church for the sake of the paltry dollar their usefulness for the spiritual and moral uplift of the community is annulled. It is bad enough to use fraternal influence as a means of inducing candidates for political preferment to come across with the money. Even that is to be regretted and frowned down by those who place fraternalism above partisan politics. But to use the church for a hustings and religious paper, edited by an officer of the A. M. E. Church, is correct, we reiterate our words with added emphasis; a preacher has no business in active politics.
Many of the candidates for re-election to the National Congress are at sea as to what their stand should be on the question of prohibition. The question has been inserted in the politics of the nation. It has been made so by the fanatical doggedness of the professional reformer. They hate to lose their jobs. When Senator reelect, Morrow, came out boldly for the repeal of the 18th Amendment and won there has been a big change in the attitude of the public. Temperance can not be legislated. There must be education.

Parker Sponsor Seeks Negroes' Votes
Kansas City, Kansas, July—By A. N.P.-Evidence that Senator Henry J. Allen realizes the importance of the opposition of Negro voters to him in the coming Kansas primaries is seen in the printing and distribution of a special pamphlet for Negroes dealing with Allen's record in relation to the race. This is the first time in the history of Kansas politics that any candidate for a major office has printed and distributed campaign material designed to appeal to any special racial group.
Opposition to Senator Allen is widespread because as the White House spokesman in the Judge Parker fight, he issued a statement to the press saying Parker's speech on Negroes in politics was "of no significance" and because in the final roll call, Allen split with Senator Arthur Capper and with all Kansas traditions and voted for Parker's confirmation.
In the pamphlet, Senator Allen uses the recent appointment of David E Henderson of this city to the office of assistant attorney general as his crowning argument of why Negroes should vote to return him to the senate. At the time the appointment was made, it was freely acknowledged in political circles that Allen was trying to make a "master stroke" to wipe away the Negro opposition. One side of the pamphlet contains a verbatim copy of the news dispatch to the Kansas City Star telling of Henderson's appointment. The other side appeals to "The independent, modern, thinking men and women of the Negro race."
Allen is being opposed for the republican nomination by three other candidates. Nearly every organization of any prominence in the state has passed resolutions condemning Allen for his stand on Parker, but Kansas politics are of such a nature that it is not known how long "the brother" will stay tied to any one position. Allen has a lot of friends among the colored people in Kansas; he made a good record so far as they were concerned, during his term as governor of the state. When he was the owner and editor of the Wichita Beacon he championed their causes and treated them as he did other citizens of the commonwealth.
However, the majority of Negroes in the state claim he destroyed all his good work when he attempted to endanger the rights of Negroes all over the country by voting to seat a man with Parker's expressed views on the highest court in the land. In all campaign material thus far, including newspaper advertising. Allen's managers have studiously refrained from referring to the Parker matter, even casually.
An amusing angle of the campaign developed two weeks ago when a letter signed by Joe H. Mercer, manager for Allen, came to light in which Mercer was asking John Smith, president of the Midwestern Association of Elks, to refund $20 which Mercer had paid for an advertisement in the program of the Midwestern meeting helr in Topeka. Mercer contended the advertisement was given with the distinct understanding that the Elks were not to condemn Allen. The Elks did pass a resolution of condemnation. Smith told newspapermen the advertisement was secured by the Topeka Elks to help defray their expenses and that it was ridiculous of Mercer to imagine that he could buy the silence of the Elks of five states for twenty dollars.

BABY GANS VS. a
New York, July 15—By A.N.P.—
Fight fans of this city will get a fistic
treat if the plans of Jess MeMahon
are carried through successfully. As
related in previous releases Baby Joe
Gans. who is recovering from the in-
juries to his'arm and fought a spec-
tacuiar battle with Sergeant Sammy
Baker recently, is being, approached
with a view of meeting Young Cor-
bett, the conquerer of Jackie Fields,
and Jack Thompson. both of whom are
king pins in the welter division. Mc
Mahon hopes to\ bring this fistic treat
to bis Brooklyn out-door arena be-
fore the close of the season, and if he
can continue his negotiations success-
fully, consiaering the tentative fiehts
which take Gans to the Coast, it will
be a forward step toward the crown
for Gans since the logical contender
is now recognized in Corbett. McMat
hon is angling for this fight between
Gans and Corbett with the idea of
having the winner challenge the title
holder for the crack at the: crown,
