The Twilight Hour at Hollywood Bowl, Monday, August 4th, To Be Big Part Of The Evening's Program. 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 43 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1930 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing---James 1:4. EVERYONE BIG THE. FITTS-For-Governor Club has gone over the top at every meeting. On Friday evening, July 18, Twentieth Street School was the setting for a monster mass meeting attended by an enthusiastic crowd of folk, who unhesitatingly declared their intention to vote for Buron Fitts for Governor. The evening program was conducted not after the fashion of the average political meeting. The early comers of the evening enjoyed musical selections by Ted Roberts and his musical laddies, after which the charming little Madame Outley took her place at the piano and soon the great audience peeled forth in one grand chorus. "It's a Long Way to Sacramento, but Bhron Fitts Must Go," her original composition. Following this, that silver tongued orator, Willis O. Tyler took the stand and in an eloquent flow of language broke down every line of argument that had been advanced by both Young and Rolph followers as to why Fitts should not be the next governor of California, and in impressive fashion pointed out fact after fact why Fitts should be the unanimous choice of the people. From Twentieth Street the Fitts band wagon moved on to Central Aven Gardens, Monday evening, July 21 where a parade headed by Mrs. Riley president of the Hallie Q. Brown Republican Study Club and Mrs. Irma Mackey marched through the Gardens while Ted Roberts and his musical laddies furnished the sensational music. The speakers for this occasion were Rev. L. M. Curtis, Rev. T. F. Jones and Dr. H. D. Prowd, and this too was an overwhelmingly enthusiastic endorsement of Fitts for Governor. The 96th Street School where the meeting was held was capacity crowded, and the people willingly received the truth. It is believed that the colored people will not spurn an opportunity to show their appreciation for proper recognition such as has been accorded them by Buron Fitts. **KU KLUX KLAN ENDORSED** **GOVERNOR YOUNG FOR** **RE-ELECTION** THE SANTA ANA Bulletin of Friday, July 18, has this to say: "Ku Klhx Klan Hold Their State Convention Here Saturday Night Convention Here Saturday Night "The annual convention of Ku Klux Klan was held in Santa Ana Saturday, ending up with several thousand gather- ing at the county fair grounds, where a big class was initiated into the or- der. The grounds were profusely lighted up. "Rev. Bruce Brown, pastor of a Christian Church in Los Angeles, was the speaker, and he paid a glowing tribute to the work of this order, which he claims is entirely non-partisan, yet the order is composed only of protestants. "It is stated that Governor C. C. Young will have the support of this organization in his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. "The next convention will be held at Visalia, Cal." AS EARLY as 6 P. M. on Wednesday evening a great throng of people wended its way to the Orpheum on Broadway between Eighth and Ninth to witness the revue of "Dixiana," a world premiere. Dixiana is a musical romance of old New Orleans and is this year's most effective offering by the talking screen, and according to the opinion of most of the dailies, Emmanuel Hall Harmony Making Chorus of forty-one voices composed of members of the colored group is an outstanding feature of this stirring romantic production depicting the days of southern, chivalry. Dixiana's opening scene was a great chorus lazily, but for a that artistically, spread out on the stage where after the rendition of several spirals it called forth the applause of the evening. However, during the Mixed Marriage Problem Nightmare of English Twilight Prologue At Hollywood Bowl Concert So gorgeous, beauteous and impressive a sight is presented when the glowing red sun sinks with rapidly changing colors behind the loftly rim of Hollywood Bowl, that many who attend events there go early to witness the ever remembered sight. For this reason and also due to the fact that many will arrive early to secure good seats the management of the 1000 voiced Negro concert, Aug. 4th, announces a 7 o'clock prologue to the regular program. Many young people of Los Angeles have offered their services and more are invited to participate, in this special feature. It will last until time for the starting of the regular concert, leaving not on dull or empty moment. Tracing the history of the Bowl it has been learned that Mr. Gilbert Allen, noted guest director, is the youngest director of any race ever to officiate at this world famous seat of music, and this distinction can hardly be overestimated. New soloists who have been added remainder of the presentation, the chorus was heard in a charmingly affected manner, but not seen. Their voices peeled forth from behind white faces like one rippling stream floating down the ages, at times in bursts of joy and then again in pathetic strains, depicting perious of joy and sorrow through which this group has passed. Dixiana, to our minds is the beginning of the end of discrimination on stage and screen, and to the tune of Dixiana as sung by Hall's great chorus announces the new era of things on the American stage when art will be appreciated for art's sake regardless as to whether the Giver of good gifts planted it beneath a black or white skin. EMMANUEL HALL YEARS AGO Emmanuel Hall demonstrated his fighting ability when he was one of the leading lights of the L. A. Forum. 'Manuel was ever ready to fight any issue affecting the Americanism of his own group in any way, shape or form to a finish, hence at one time he was considered a radical of the rarest type. For a number of years even Mr. Hall's best friends thought that his ambition was replete in his success as a sweet gospel singer in the different churches of the city but while others slept, he toiled on and today, nearing the age of fifty (so says Mr. Hall) he is one of the outstanding producers in the screen and stage colony and his chorus now known as the R. K. O. is not only known in Los Angeles but is rapidly establishing a national reputation as one of the best. ACCUSES AMERICAN LE- GION OF DISCRIMINATION T. G. GASKIN of 1214 E. 24th street claims that he held the lucky number which was 13925, which awarded him the automobile which was given by the American Legion. On May 5, 1930, Gaskin said that his name was the only one broadcast as the holder of the lucky number but that on the next day after the broadcast when it was discovered that he was colored, the lucky number was changed to 09064.

Mrs. Stovall Meets Tragic Death Mrs. Stovall Meets Tragic Death Last Wednesday night as the writer was returning from a meeting of the Elks Lodge and approaching the intersection of 18th street at Central avenue, we discovered a great crowd. We stopped our car, got out and on inquiry found the followd facts: The car driven by Mr. Stovall in which his wife, Mrs. Jennie Stovall was riding, came north on Central and made a U turn at the intersection, a car was coming from the North at such a rate of speed (or else the motorman could not see) that he struck the right rear of the Stovall car before it could clear the track. The car was completely wrecked, the occupants bacly hurt, it being thought however, at the time less seriously than it proved. After being carried to the hospital, Mrs. Stovall succumbed to her injuries. Mr. Stovall, though badly shaken up was not seriously hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Stovall were among our highly respected citizens. They conducted a business at 1803 Central Ave. and both were connected with civic and fraternal societies.' Funeral arrangements had not been announced as we go to press. Mrs. Lillian J. Craw Visits In City Mrs. Lillian J. Craw is visiting in the city the guest of her son, Mr Floyd Covington Secretary of Y. M. C. A. and wife, Mrs. Craw was at one time a resident of Los Angeles during the life time of her husband, the late Rev. J. Logan Craw who was the pastor of the Fire. A. M. E. church At present she is a teacher in the public schools of Topeka, Kansas, her former home. Mrs. Craw is one of those sweet, lovable Christian characters, who make friends easily and hold them and her many admirers in Los Angeles are making her visit a pleasant one. Excursionists From South Depart For Home The excursionists from the South-land who have been visiting here for the past fortnight, boarded their special and bid Los Angeles a fond adieu on last evening. They came here from all sections of the South, from as far as New Orleans. Teras was largely represented. They visited relatives and friends also all points of interest. They were unanimous in their praise for this section and the treatment accorded them. Many will go home, dispose of their belongings and come back to California to make it their future home, while many other just gave up their return ticket and will continue to park in the land of sunshine and flowers. Mosby's Employees Charge Malicious Libel To the Editor of The California Eagle: Kindly allow the 157 employees of Mr. Curtis Mosby who conducts the Apex Dining Hall, Grill, Music Store and Nite Club use of your valuable space to inform the public of the malicious, and vicious falsehood published in the columns of the Pacific Defender of the 23rd inst. The article was headed "Rough Night, at The Apex Nite Club", and for deliberate falsifying and untruth it is the limit of any possible stretch of imagination. As a matter of fact there was no rough house at the Nite Club, neither will there ever be, the Special Officers maintain peace at all times. Mr. Mosby was not knocked down nor was he in any quarrel. Further the tactics of this Journal is of a malicious trend to injure this place where we are permitted to earn a living for ourselves and families. We are sure your paper which has a reputation for justice to all mankind will give us the opportunity to state our cause, while we seek every legal channel for Justice. Very respectfully JAMES WILLIAMS (For the Employees of Curtis Mosby) AMERICANS RIOT IN PARIS New York. July 23—(A.N.P.)—according to dispatches from Paris, a small riot broke out Friday night at the Folies Bergere, the haven of American tourists, who want to get an eyeful of Parisian naughtiness over a dancing number which provided more shocks than the Americans thought necessary. The act which caused the trouble is an elaborate act with a clever arrangement of mirrors giving the illusion of a subterranean grotto. Standing in the center of the grotto is a huge nude Senegalese, billed as Fera Bangal. Kitty Mara, blond duesse, appears gracefully attired in nothing but her own gleaming white skin and proceeds to do a voluptuous dance calculated to enthrall her colored partner. The audience, at least a third of which were American, began murmuring its disapproval the minute Kitty appeared on the stage. Steadily increasing after each sinuous contortion, the dancers reached a climax at the finish of the act when the Senegalese claps his exhausted partner in his arms. The show was temporarily stopped while the police tried to restore order. Scores of Americans walked out and it was several minutes before the next act could be put on. New York City, July—A.N.P.-News dispatches here state that a large number of white men and women are being held in Africa as slaves of a black chief and that further most of them prefer to remain in bondage rather than accept the freedom offered them. The colony of slaves was discovered by a traveller who was forced to take refuge at a village in the Kalahari desert because of storms. The chief, who was educated in English universities, told him that the whites were inherited by him from his parents. News from Fresno where the F. A. Masons have been in session during this week, is to the effect that Theodore Moss of San Jose was elected to succeed Rev. J. H. Wilson, who has served as the Grand Master head for the past 12 years. During that period of time he made a record which will be hard to surpass. He has literally lifted the F. A. M. body up from a mediocre organization to one of the greatest in the entire country. We have not been informed whether Pioneer Citizen Passes, Buried With High Honors R. H. Dunston, 828 Linden Street passed away Monday, July 14th after a long period of illness. Funeral services were held from the 8th and Towne church on Thursday. On Wednesday night at midnight high Masonic rites were performed at the Roberts and Son Funeral Parlors. Interment was at Evergreen cemetery. Mr. Dunston was one of the thrifty and refilable citizens, he had built up and maintained a high class business for many years. He owned and operated a large warehouse on Linden St and owned other valuable property He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, who heroically stood by his side and was his constant companion even unto death. Also a son, other relatives and a host of friends. Magnolia, Ark., July 23—A.N.P.—What has been proclaimed as one of the most brutal murders ever recorded in this section here Tuesday when Mack Cleveland, 35, beat the two little children of Mr. and Mrs. William Parker to death with an iron pipe and attacked the mother who came to their rescue. Parker and Cleveland had quarrelled a few days ago and at that time Cleveland swore vengeance. Tuesday morning Mrs. Parker heard her children screaming and when she reached the side walk, she found William, Jr., lying on the walk with his head heat to a pulp and Cleveland administering another crushing blow on the head of Jewel, aged 12. She rushed up to Parker and was felled by a blow with the iron pipe and only the appearance of her husband saved her life. Parker grappled with the madman who had killed his children and neighbors came to his rescue. Cleveland was severely heaten and when the officers arrived they found him securely trussed up and surrounded by angry citizens. He was carried to the hospital where his wounds were dressed and thence to jail where he is closely guarded. NEPHEW KILLS UNCLE IN ROW OVER WOMAN Annapolis. Md. July 23—(A.N.P.) Considerable excitement followed the killing here on Monday of Nace Rawlings, 40-years old employed on the estate of Mrs. St. George Barber, by his nephew, Bill Rawlings, 30, who is legged in jail in Anne Arundel County. Search had been conducted for several hours when a sheriff found the young man hiding in a cluster of bushes several miles from the scene of the shooting. It is said that Bill Rawlings admits his guilt, claiming that the trouble was the result of an argument over a woman with whom both were in love. the Past Grand Master was a candidate to succeed himself. However, Mr. Moss has served next to Grand Master Wilson as his deputy for many years and as a consequence would naturally step into his place. Former Grand Warden Broyles was elected Deputy; Carl Towns was reelected Grand Lecturer. A. H. Houston, Treasurer and G. W. Wilson of Marysville, Grand Secretary. Kills Man He Feared Conway, S. C., July 23—(A.N.P.)—Junior Manning made a confession here Saturday to the shooting of J. Arthur Lane, respected farmer-of the town. Lane was found dead on a bypah near his home Monday. Signs showed foul play and that he had been dead some time. A coroner's jury was promptly empaneled and after examining several witnesses the hearing was continued until Saturday. Following the hearing, Lloyd McCollum and Martha Crawford were jailed as suspects. The sheriff immediately got in touch with Governor Richard's office and W. W. Rogers of his detective force was dispatched to the scene. Investigations revealed that Junior Manning was the guilty man. Manning said the reason he killed Lane was because he was scared to death of him and wanted to kill Lane before Lane got him. DOOMED MAN GIVEN STAY OF EXECUTION Montgomery, Ala., July 23—A.N.P. —Mose Daniels, convicted of assaulting a white woman and sentenced to die, was given a stay of execution issued by the Alabama Supreme Court in extraordinary session here last. Friday, making the first time the court had met in extraordinary session to decide a similar case. LETTER FROM MRS. ELIZABETH EDWARDS, STATE PRESIDENT COLORED WOMENS' CLUBS Hot Springs, Ark.. July 16, 1930. My Dear Mrs. Bass: In the quiet Ozark mountains, With their many wonderful things Is a beautiful little city. That is justly called Hot Springs. There I am resting and taking the hot baths when I am not in the convention meeting. The people are very hospitable and we have been royally entertained and have enjoyed hearing most wonderful talent among our people here. The weather is very warm. The Biennial opened with a bang and things are going over big. I left Los Angeles on the 7th over the Rock Island and arrived in Hot Springs July 11 and am leaving on the 18th for Fresno to attend the Grand Court H. of J. I am not attempting to give you any details of this convention as we have a Press Committee. There are six of us from California besides myself; Mrs. Chloe Sledge of Oakland; Mrs. U. L. Andrews, or San Bernardino; Mrs. C. Davis of Needles; Mrs. Esther Jones Lee and daughter and Mrs. Stubberfield of Oakland. I am sure our candidate, District Attorney Buron Fitts is making inroads and succeeding nicely with his campaign. Yours as ever. MRS. J. M. EDWARDS. Mr. D. L. Imbert, who for several years has been working in various departments of the City Directory Co. with main offices in Detroit, Mich. has joined the Eagle Directory Staff and under his capable direction and assistance the completion of the directory will be accomplished with greater speed. The London Daily Express on June 5th published the following: A campaign to urge an immediate Government inquiry into the Negro problem at British ports has been decided on by the Liverpool Association for the Welfare of Half-caste Children, following a two years' investigation into the consequences of unions between coloured seamen and white women. "Our investigation has shown the growing gravity of the situation," said Mr. George Haines, a member of the committee of inquiry, to a "Daily Express" representative yesterday. "We are doing all we can in the way of welfare work, but a much bigger effort, with Government assistance, is needed. We are going to urge as an initial effort the appointment of welfare workers to look after the half-caste children and an immediate Government inquiry. "Something must be done to stop the inter-marriage of Negroes with white women. Our inquiries have shown the results of ruth marriages are seldom anything but harmful. BELOW THE AVERAGE "Teachers report that half-caste children are generally below the average of intelligence and aptitude even when compared with a poor type of white child. Their health, too, is of a low standard. "Employers are not prepared to take half-caste juveniles because it has been found that they are unreliable. The children lead unhappy lives. Sometimes the father deserts the family and the mother becomes dependent on another Negro, and sometimes, each child in a family has a different father. Frequently, when a woman is legally married to a colored man, she lives with other Negroes when her husband is at sea because she has insufficient money to keep the family going. "The allotment from the man's ware-seldom averages more than 25c a week. "The only real solution of the problem seems to be to stop the influx of Negroes by replacing them with British seamen in all ships calling at this country." The investigation has shown that in Liverpool alone there are 430 Anglo-Negroid and at least 1,350 colored children. A late proportion of the colored populations are stated to be drawing unemployment benefit. The conditions at other ports are revealed in the following messages from Daily Express correspondents: Cardiff has a colored population of close to 8,000 made up of Negroes, West Africans, Somalis, Arabs, and Indians. The police state that mixed marriages are frequent, and that as a rule the black men make good husbands to their white wives. They are of course, seamen, and frequently leave their families, but when they stick together comfortable homes are frequent. The black men treat the women kindly, and give them plenty of gandy clothes and chean jewelry. The trouble comes when the children grow up. It is difficult to find employment for them, and some are inclined to give trouble but speaking generally, the amount of crime among the black population is no greater than in other parts of the city, although occasionally there are acts of violence, with the use of knives and razors. FASCINATED GIRLS The Rev. J. G. Garland, vicar of the parish of St. Mary's, said: "My parish has a population of 14,000, one half of them are colored people. Occasionally I marry a black man to a white woman. I have no option, provided they are Christians, have fulfilled the requirements of the law, have been baptised, and desire to marry. "The white girls who marry black men come mainly from outside districts. They have drifted into this locality, probably because they have been neglected at home or have found unsatisfactory service.

A. 500 CLUB Page-Ten Port Au Prince, Haiti, July 15—In a spectacular political skirmish lasting ten days and just brought to a close, between the heads of certain Haitian governmental departments and American directors of the Occupation, a convincing exhibition was given of the utter necessity of either the force of American arms, or the connivance of the head of the Haitian government with these American officials to impose a program upon the Haitian people which they do not agree to accept. In this latest skirmish the Haitian people won and their leaders gave to the members of the Education Commission in the Republic a significant demonstration of the finesse of Haitian politics. In my last dispatch to America, I indicated that President Hoover is in great popular favor here. Simply, the Haitians want to run their country as they please. They want the Americans to get out as quickly as possible, although some of the more conservative leaders recognize that there is a service of proper kind which America can perform for their country. The people feel that President Hoover is going to rid them of the Occupation and that he is going to set about in a munificent and beneficial way to help them. Here is at last an American President who will emancipate them from the indignities forced upon the country by President Wilson. They are so confident that, that is Mr. Hoover's speedy intention that they are beginning to feel, with each passing day a growing desire to ignore the Americans here. Hoover's words have emboldened them. At the same time, the messages and commissions from the states have placed the Americans here in a quandry. They will confess frankly, that up until within a few months ago, they just thought they were going to stay right on in Haiti indefinitely. They were making life plans. Today the man who was making a life work here for himself, is not sure that he will have a job next week. That is true of the highest and the lowest. The whites don't know what Washington is going to do, and they care. Most of them want to stay. They have good paying jobs, and they are working somebody instead of being worked by somebody. In such spirits have the Haitians and the Americans had their tussle of the last few days. The fight waged around the central school of Damien, the headquarters of the Service Technique d'Agriculture, the service which has occasioned so much adverse comment and the school where the strike of last winter occurred. According to a convention between the American government and the Haitian government, this entire service, officered by Americans who do draw large salaries, was to be under the direction of the Haitian minister of public instruction, who is also the minister of agriculture. But for six years the Americans, in the face of bitter Haitian criticism, have operated with little regard for the Haitian minister. It has not mattered much to them whether he approved or disapproved of a project which they contemplated. If he did not, a way would be found, either through the financial If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened advisor's office or through the power of the Haitian president, to make the Haitian minister understand that he was the boss only through the agency of "a scrap of paper." There are not many jobs in Haiti, the minister's job pays rather well, it is in the power of the president of Haiti. If the Americans stand in with the president, why should they not be able to order things just about as they wished? It is freely charged in Haiti that President Borno was an American tool. He worked with the members of the Occupation. Perhaps it was because on one occasion the president's salary was held up by the Americans for three months. But the president today, M. Eugene Roy, is neither a politician or an American tool. He seems to wish to be a Haitian patriot. He has been chosen, according to the recommendation of the Forbes commission, to govern Haiti while legislative electors are held and until a new president can be elected by the Haitian legislature, the body qualified by the constitution of the Republic to conduct such an election. Mr. Roy may be president for six or eight months and is bound to step out of the office when the new man is elected. For that reason he is called the provisional president. Ten days ago, while members of the Moton, Educational Commission were traveling in the north, accompanied by Carl Colvin, the American director of the Service Technique, the Haitian minister of public instructions ordered the school of Damien closed on July 1st. Cablegrams followed Colvin into the interior and he hastened back to Port au Prince. He showed real annoyance. So fa ras this correspondent knows. Mr. Colvin took the matter up with the American charge d'affaires, Stuart Grummont, not with the Haitian minister. Grummont let the state department at Washington know that the Haitian minister planned to close the American works and expressed the belief that President Roy would back him up. There have probably been times when instead of cabelling Washington; marines have been sent to the school to keep the Haitians from closing it. But this time it was preferred to make the matter diplomatic. I understand that after the receipt of Grumont's telegraph, the state department responded with the information that Roy was not to exercise himself in such a relation, that he was provisional president only and not expected to initiate any reforms. But before the state government replied, the Haitians and their newspapers had busied themselves. In the first place, they felt that Damocles Vieux, the minister was seeking to exercise a proper and conventional authority required by conditions at Damien. They felt that his position represented something cherished by the Haitian people. Thus, they demanded that the government, as represented by Mr. Roy, either support Mr. Vieux, or resign as being unwilling to do what the people wanted done. Roy lost no time showing that he was with the minister. He further let the American state department know that he was president without any provisions. The American officials here found themselves balked. They could not use the Haitian president. They dare not use the marines, with the commission on the island. A way out was found by President Roy by intereing with the commission, or, it is more correct to say, with one or two members of the commission. Repeated conferences were held between the Haitian president and Dr. Moton and the American officials. They were held all during the day and late into the night. They were in secret and what went on is still a matter of conjecture. It is understood, however, that all sides presented their argument and that Dr. Moton was able to suggest a compromise. The compromise postponed the closing of the school until July 15th and exempted from the closing order, the summer school now being conducted and the various field services of the Service Technique. The foregoing description of this skirmish of officials is not intended to impress the reader with the thought that all Americans in Haiti have been all, or partly, wrong, or that all Haitians have been all, or mostly, right. There has been good and bad individually and collectively, on both sides. But examination of conditions will have to await future articles. I must suffice for this time to say that my present impression is that up until within the past few months, no effort had been made by Americans, as a whole or as a unit, to handle the Haitian problem with any regard for the wishes, if not the welfare, of the Haitians who count. In 1918 an American major entered the chamber of the Haitian legislature, brandished his gun and chased the elected representatives of the people out. Since that time, Americans have brazenly operated with hand-picked Haitian presidents, chosen by councils of state created by the president. It is easy to see that there could be little sympathy or respect for the Haitian people as the result of such an arrangement. Bill Robinson, world's most famous colored tap dancer, and the only dancer ever to record for phonograph records, is making his screen debut in "Dixiana" at the Orpheum Theatre as one of the featured players of this Radio Pictures glorious musical operetta starting Bebe Daniels. For years Robinson has been the premiere headliner of vaudeville circuits throughout the world and his entrance into talking pictures has been looked forward to with much anticipation by the theatregoers. "Dixiana" is a gay colorful musical romance of the old South, with New Orleans Madigras of 1840 as the setting for much of the tense action. Never before has Bebe Daniels had as romantic a role as that which she plays in this newest and most pretentious picture to come from R. K. O. Studios. Opposite Miss Daniels as her leading man is Everett Marshall, star baritone of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, while Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, late stars of "Rio Rita" and "The Cuckoos" are seen in prominent roles. Others featured in the cast are Dorothy Lee, Jobyna Howland. Joseph Cawthorne, Raymond Maurel.

So firmly is it interwoven into the very fibre of their consciousness that to think of Virginia, once one has known it, is to revel again in the heart warming fires of its friendships. These People All my life I must have known them. I do not feel any strangeness among them. Their doors are thrown wide to the relatives of one whom they hold in the highest esteem, a teacher and leader among them. Dinners, luncheons, midnight suppers, garden parties make us to know in a most detectable way the largeness of the heart of these people. We enter their homes, delight in the antiquity of some of the furnishings therein. I had heard much of southern standoffs of Negro Society. Not being in Virginia long enough to acquaint myself with all classes, however from general survey I find that there is a greater distinction made than in the west. The poor are more desperately poor, because of the wage scale for common labor and the opportunities open to them. The city of Virginia boasts of having no black man on its pay roll. There is a greater effort for an independent livelihood. Small dray carts peddle fish, caught from the river almost daily. Jeeves of every description are seen every place. Some of them carry both ice and coal. Fruit and vegetables are brought in on wagons direct from the small farms in the outlying districts. The market place is crowded with trucks, among them the black man has a large number. It was strange to me to see in a prejudiced south, the competition of trade among the races in the market places. I stood aside and watched the buying of the people and noted that there was no distinction made in the general buying public, they bought where the goods and prices pleased them. Absent too, was that Uncle Tom spirit among the men who sold rather slow and unconcerned were some of them but their sales were made in an impersonal all matter-of-fact way. Surprising too, was it to find in what some northerners are usually inclined to consider, the literate south, so many professional men, school teachers and students of music. In the best society the young people are impressed with the urgent necessity of finishing at the university. Although higher education is expensive business for them they sacrifice for this foundation in life. AMERICANS IN HAITI (Continued From Eight) I should like for it to be understood that there is a large group of hard-to put-your-hand Americans in Haiti and a few in America who have cut the pattern of the spirit of America in Haiti. That spirit I condemn. It is a spirit of which I would be utterly ashamed if I were not a Negro. It is an ugly, arrogant, contumacious force. This spirit of the American Occupation in Haiti is the lowest common denominator of significance in any consideration of what has happened in the black Republic. Everything else is superficial and beside the point. It neutralizes American benefits and Haitians defects. It is the thing to be attacked and changed before America can be of any real service to the Haitians. What is the spirit? It is the attitude which was assumed at the beginning of the Occupation by the average American marine toward some "niggers" whose country had been invaded and taken under control. It is the attitude of being boss, without accountability, of another person's household. It is the attitude of one, who, finding that he has you in your power and can take some advantage of you, takes all; the position of one who goes as far as he likes with your affairs without considering any of the effects on you so long as they seem good to him. It is a spirit containing the arrogance which caused the Americans to ridicule French soldiers in the World War. The unstudied prejudice of the white person when confronted with the proposition of Negro equality, and the ambition of those whites in Haiti to make the country a "green pastures" for themselves. I think it paramount that the existence of this spirit be made a statement at this point in this series of articles. I realize that saying it exists does not prove its existence. Articles which follow will do so. I trust that the readers of this newspaper will understand that the opinions contained in these articles are my own, that they are not intended to reflect the opinions of the Moton Commission, except in so far as the members of that commission and I find ourselves in agreement. Furthermore, it must not be presumed that these articles, considered as reports, are official. I accompanied the Moton commission to Haiti. These reports are to be taken as the summing up of infor- ```markdown ``` Feeling Yet Tense On Texas Oklahoma Border Erick, Okla., July 23. By J. C. White For A.N.P.—What bids fair to be a serious interracial clash is in the making along the Texas. Oklahoma border, unless forceful steps are taken to allay the ever increasing feeling between the races. Mob rule has reigned. Innocent Negro citizens have been forced to leave their farms by whites who are supposed to be bent upon avenging the death of Mrs. Ruth Vaughan, a young white woman, who was alleged to have been killed by Jesse Lee Washington a 27-year old Negro. Following the capture of Washington an attempt to lynch him by whites at Shamrock, Texas, was thwarted by the sheriff and his acquiesces and the intended victim was rushed to Granite Prison in Granite, Okla., where he will be kept until his trial is held. The white woman was a native of this little town at one time and to avenge her death, the whites drove all of the Negroes from the town and later other towns followed suit until there was a wave of mob violence and molesting of innocent citizens, unparalleled perhaps even in this section. Hordes of blood-thirsty, whites roamed the section ordering the Negroes to get out and stay out. TWO NEW ANGLES Rumors are rife that after all, the real cause for the actions on the part of the whites is not to avenge the white woman's death, but an economic one. It has been known here that for sometime plans have been in the making for the expulsion of the Negroes in and around the little border towns. No good excuse could be found, so the execution of the plans had to be de laveen. The murder of the white woman offered an excuse and the program was inaugurated with great gusto by the champions of white supremacy and the virtue and lives of white women. According to the reports of those who were driven from their homes, little or no protection was offered or accorded them by the law enforcement officers. On Sunday night when the trouble had its inception it is alleged that the chief of police or town marshall ordered all Negroes to go to bed early and keep their lights out. A church meeting was ordered closed by twelve o'clock and other such orders given to the Negro citizens instead of making plans to protect them. Another belief in and around these parts is that after all Washington is being made the goat of the murder. The Vaughans, according to reports, have from time to time quarrelled and Mrs. Vaughan at one time left her husband. A reconciliation was effected and she returned. Rumor has it that recently things have not gone along as tranquil as they might and she threatened to leave her husband again and he told her if she left him again he would kill her. Washington worked on the farm owned by Vaughan and when arrested was fast asleep in his quarters. Investigators point out the fact that no man, especially a Negro who had killed a white woman in this section of the country would be caught mapping. Since his capture he has steadfastly denied any connection with the crime and the foregoing reports have led many to believe that he is innocent. TO REBUILD NATCHEZ COLLEGE Natchez, Miss., July 23—(A.N.P.)—While there has been considerable agitation over the state for the removal of the Natchez College, from Natchez, the annual convention of Baptists have definitelly selected Natchez as the site for the rebuilding of the college, which was formerly located here but which was recently destroyed by fire. It is stated by J. H. Moseley, president of the college, that the new buildings will represent an expenditure of $175,000. At the time of the fire there was an indebtedness of $9,000 on the college but this has been wiped out by a campaign over the state. HOLD WOMAN FOR HUSBAND'S MURDER Columbia, S. C., July 23—(A.N.P.)—Police here are holding Mrs. Geneva Wells for the murder of her husband, James Wells, who died in the Good Samaritan Hospital from bullet wounds Wednesday. Wells was shot at his home, accord- mation obtained by a newspaper cor- respondent who had the advantage of accompanying an official commission. Next week we shall consider how America got into Haiti. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened GUILFORD BOWER By WILLIAM PICKENS The finest, concrete achievement of St. Phillip's Episcopal Church of New York is undoubtedly the Guildford Rower Camp, near the town of New Palts. This camp is away from the Hudson River, opposite Poughkeepsie, to the west. But the camp is on a beautiful river and has a mile of water front all its own. It is for boys and girls up to eighteen years of age, and is located on an old farmstead of several hundred acres and several centuries olo. Thirty-odd head of cows furnish milk from the camp's own dairy. The old mansion serves as administration building, library, infirmary, and a part of it as residence for the family of the chief farmer. Several men are employed at Camp Guildford Bower all the year around. It is the best equipped and serves the best food of all the camps I have so far seen. The tent sites of the boys are located on a hill summit, a good, healthy, interesting distance from the tents of the girls, who are all located on the mansion site, also in brown-canvass tents with wooden floors. There is a great dining pavilion with brightly colored chairs and tables, to which Father Shelton Bishop refers, artistically, as "Our Tea Room." There are 150 campers in the first week of camp, and a staff of forty persons, headed by Father Bishop. The Rev. Shelton Bishop spends five months out of the year at this camp; two months preparing for the opening, nine weeks of camping; and one month cleaning up and closing up. We do not blame him; if it were our privilege we would spend all the other seven months preparing to prepare for this camp. No wonder the food is excellent; they have a cook whose winter job is preparing the cuisine for one of the Fraternalities at Yale University, and if the fellows at Yale know anything, they know how to eat. There are modern toilets, with the most up-to-date disposal tanks and water closets, even for those dwelling in tents. For every two or three tents of the youngsters there is an older person as monitor, leader, or "camp counselor," a member of the administrative The children come from various states, even from the south. It is a church-maintained camp, and so they have everything from devotions and flag-raising to swimming and hiking. They retire at 9:00 P. M. and get up at 7:00 P. M. But there are no military formalities and unnecessary strictures. Life seems free, easy, and natural. If a boy or girl cannot find at Guildford Bower Camp advancement of his physical, moral, and social life, there is something radically wrong with that boy or girl. Fly Killer Proves to be Moonshine Atlantic City, N. J., July 23—(A.N. P.)—When detectives sought to serve a warrant at Chalfonte and Arctic Avenues last week, an unmistakable odor lured them to a second floor of the building at that address, where they discovered a still in operation, with fourteen barrels of mash working. David Baker was arrested, charged with possessing a still, but in court he said he rented the second floor to Harry Williams, who made stuff to kill flies. Despite his story, he was held under $$2,000 bail. HUSBAND KILLS UN FAITHFUL WIFE New York. July 15—By A.N.P.—An illicit love affair proved fatal to Mrs. Daisy Wright when her husband discovered her rendezvous with another man. According to the story, the woman, who was 40 years old, had come to 153 West 139th Street. to meet her paramour. The husband seeing every move from a concealed point of vantage, entered the apartment which is on the ground floor and began firing at the woman, paying little or no attention to her lover. Rushing to the courtyard, the woman fell and failed to rise. Her irate spouse poured the contents of his revolver into her lifeless body, moving away from the scene immediately. A general alarm has been sounded for his capture and it is expected that he will be in the hands of the law within twenty-four hours. ing to the version of the officers, during a quarrel with his wife early Wednesday morning. The woman escaped following the shooting, but was arrested a few hours later when she was found in a vacant house near the outskirts of the town. Editors Note: The following is an article contributed by Mrs. E. O. Solomon to the Baptist News of Southern California published by the So. California Convention and the Los Angeles Baptist City Mission Society, which was highly commented upon for its wonderful composition besides being widely read by the Baptist folk over the state. B. M. EVA OVERR SOLOMON With pleasure and profit I attended the Southern California Baptist Convention in its annual session for a number of years. At each successive year the beauty and splendor of Christian fellowship has characterized the growing interest of the several groups. It seems that God has blessed the representatives and the executives of the Convention and the City Mission Society with an over-abundance of power and presence to fit them for the many duties involved. The cross of Christ has been lifted high, sending a gleam into dark and almost forgotten places. A bridge of understanding between the races has lightened the burden of the missionaries, who reported many souls won to Christ. A missionary and educational program brim full of information was presented by enthusiastic speakers who were apparently electrified by the dynamic of the old-time pentecostal power. There was no race discrimination nor class distinction, but all were completely engulfed in the bond of fellowship and love throughout the week. To love in the abstract is one thing, but to love, live and honor Christ, losing sight of, misunderstandings, false impressions and 'antipathies in concrete service to your neighbor, is another. This is the type of service that has been rendered by the Convention and the City Mission Society. For this we are very grateful. Words are inadequate to express just what the Convention has meant to me and our group; however, upon leaving, despite the year of hard sacrificed service, we returned to our people renewed, revived and re-charged with power to make the climb in answer to "the call of the upper road," therefore be assured that the investment which you have made in the Negro work will pay large dividends in the years to come, which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. This one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal—"Southern California for Christ." EVA OVERR SOLOMON. Educational Messenger, Western Baptist Association Indianapolis Boy Wins $1,000 Scholarship Louisville. Ky., July 23—(A.N.P.)—Bernard White, a student of Attucks High School, Indianapolis.

RACE DIGNITY By CARL ECHOLS Dark Beggars we have in abundance Born with a beg on their lips. Ever solicitous. Of white men's help. Especially his money. Ebony-hued beggars. Thus they speak. "Our white friends will help us. To build this new church. Or to install the organ. Or to pay the mortgage. Or to pay the Pastor." Watch these spongers. Skilled by much practice. Spewing their innermost secrets. Then pleading for cash. Bowing and scraping for a dollar. Grinning for a donation. Everlasting gl'me, gl'me'. Tis sickening. Tis demoralizing. "Dear white friend. We poor colored folks. Need this. And that, As much as you can give. Now, thank you, sir." But ever lasting begging Is wrong. Begging for each menial thing Is wrong. Begging! Begging! It lowers race dignity Stifles mental development Makes us only children. Depending on guardians For everything. Hell with such philosophy. Let's be self respecting. Race respecting. United we need not beg. Self respecting we demand respect. Self respecting we attract aid. Unsolicited. Says the Bible: "I have not Seen the righteous Forsaken nor their Seed begging bread." THE MUSICAL WEST CONDUCTED BY JOHN A. GRAY (EDITOR'S NOTE—Mrs. Bartleson is a prominent teacher and musician of the West Jefferson district. Her ideas are worthwhile and of great interest to every student and music lover.) PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MUSICAL EDUCATION OF CHILDREN (By NEOSHO V. BARTLESON) An unobserving individual ray go thrue life unmindful of, or indifferent to, the delightful sounds of Nature The melody, harmony and rhythm of babbling brooks, rippling streams, swishing waves of lakes or oceans, rushing rapids, or falls, mean little to such an individual. He may never notice the sounds accompanying the gentle rustling or violent blowing of the winds; he may pass by unmindful of the sweet warbling of the birds. To this type of person winds may simply imply a force which causes dust to get into their eyes, or his hat to blow off. Notwithstanding, these natural elements do possess musical qualities which arouse the admiration of the attentive, and which inspire poets and comosers, blessed with keen faculties of observation, to create masterpieces about them. All persons are not destined to be creators of masterpieces, but all individuals should be capable of appreciating the beauty of melody, harmony and rhythm—the beauty of music. Some of these should possess ability in vocal or instrumental musical expression. The extent to which individuals respond favorably to music depends largely upon the attitude of their parents toward their musical education during their childhood. In digressing slightly from the subject of music, it is well to state that among the necessary purposes, of training the modern child are those of (1) making him capable of earning a living; (2) making him a worthy citizen; and (3) training him to spend his leisure time in a commendable manner. That musical education is of utmost importance in the training of the child is revealed by the fact that no education of note in any of the progressive countries of the world is averse to the musical training of children as a means of achieving these educational goals. Even in primitive tribes, the parents see to it that their offspring learn the tribal songs of their groups as early as possible. As a result of the facts mentioned here, it is evident that conscientious parents who provide musical education for their children are not just affording them an opportunity to learn to play or sing, but are enabling them to spend portions of their leisure time happily; are furnishing them, in many instances, with a means of earning a livelihood; and are doing their share toward making their offsprings worthy citizens, thus rendering a beneficial service to their community. Pierson Murder Case Awaits Governor's Campaign Nashville, Tenn., July 24—(ANP.) Tennessee is in the throes of a gubernatorial campaign, and thus far Governor Horton has not had time to stop his strenuous swup speaking long enough to hear the Townsend extradition plea. The governor of Indiana has signed papers asking for the extradition of the Townsends into Indiana where they may be formally arranged at Scottsburg. The attorney general is said to be anxious to have the hearing and would have held it the day the arrests were made since the governor was then in town, but the papers were late in reaching him from the prosecuting attorney in Scottsburg. The town abounds in rumors. Among them is the story that Dr. Townsend first made the acquaintance of Washington, the reputed murderer, two years ago. Someone mysteriously shot Dr. Townsend in the foot one night. No one appeared to know who did it nor was any reason ever made public. Inquiring for a good investigator. Rev; Westbrooks of Indianapolis, a friend of Townsend, is said to have recommended Washington. Dr. Townsend hired him but no report of his activities was ever made. There are those who think, however, that Washington in his report to Townsend had accused Pierson of being the man who shot him. A year later at the last Baptist Convention in Kansas City, when one of the committees was meeting, Mr. Pierson is said to have been toying with a revolver which was of 32 calibre. Noticing the weapon, Dr. Townsend is said to have exclaimed, "Why that's the same calibre gun I was shot with." After the incident one is said to have had to pass three secretaries before they could reach Dr. Townsend's office. Another unconfirmed, but given great credence is of an occurrence when the attorney general of the State of Tennessee, interviewed Dr. Townsend when the arrests were about to be made. Dr. Townsend who is a quiet, stolid type of man, showed absolutely no emotion as questions were asked him. "Man," the questioning official is said to have exclaimed, "how can you be so cold about the death of a man who worked so closely with you for twelve years." It is said Dr. Townsend just shrugged his shoulders. The questioner then is said to have directly accused Dr. Townsend of complicity. The answer from the physician who preferred church work to the practice of medicine, is said to have been simply, "prove it." Nashville is in a quandry. People scarcely know what to believe. Dr. Townsend, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the city, has many friends, as well as many who fear him, perhaps because they do not understand his quiet power. No one believes that Dr. Townsend even if implicated deliberately set out to have a crime committed. They think that if involved he became so thrue the machinations of the arch conspirator, Washington. Those who have tried to construct a probable case reason somewhat in this fashion: Washington, who according to advices from Indiana, is an extremely dangerous person of almost diabolical cunning, knew Townsend through his employment in the investigation made when Townsend was shot. The general turmoil which had been existing in Baptist circles because of reputed discrepancies uncovered by Pierson was a much discussed issue. Washington perhaps approached one of the principals agreeing that he could settle the matter. He may have been employed but without any idea that murder itself was contemplated. The swift turn of events thereafter was not contemplated. Westbrooks' friends declared he was drawn in entirely innocently. He is said to have been entirely immersed in his church work. He was not outstanding. People never thought of him in large civic affairs. As one citizen visiting here remarked, "If you wanted a church to hold a large public meeting you would never think of Westbrooks' church. He just did not count." In Indianapolis many citizens are said to be breathing freely now that Washington is safely behind the bars. He has been an engima during the few years he has lived in Indianapolis. An associate of uncertain elements, a stool pigeon for the police, an investigator for the Ku Klux, reputed to be an undercover man for the prohibition department, then aligned with the Catholics, giving testimony in liquor cases, that the Klux and prohibition officers working together were trying to "frame" the Catholics. That was how he escaped prosecution when he shot his former associate. Highway Policeman Carl Losche, in a nearby county courtroom. The Catholics controlled the county.

Parrish who in a most excellent way the facts in the case. What is Infantile Paralysis? Phaomyelitis, "infantile paralysis" is an municable disease occurring in sporate generalized infection, a comodic, or epidemic form. The name "infantile parlisis" Is misleading, for adults are often attacked; and moreover paralysis does not always occur. Epidemics of this disease have prevailed in all quarters of the world. The many new facts have been discovered there has still much about the condition which is unknown. Not All Cases Are Paralyzed It was formerly that every case of infantile paralysis, sometime during this disease was actually paralyzed, but we now know this is not a fact. Late statistics, show that only one case out of every four or five is paralyzed. MUCH LIKE LA GRIPPE During an epidemic 75 per cent of the cases may have an acute generalized infection, acting very much as if it were a mild "grippie", but recovering in a very short-time without any evil effects, such as paralysis. The other 25 per cent however, it must be remembered will suffer with paralysis. HOW THE DISEASE BEGINS During one of these outbreaks of infantile paralysis, it is the rule that when a child is taken ill that the disease begins suddenly. It starts with symptoms such as bowel disorder, nausea, vomiting, fever etc. There may be either constipation or diarrhea. In the more severe type it is seized with pain in the back of the neck. As a rule the child is well when put to bed and is taken ill in the night. There may be only the signs which accompany a cold and La Gripe, there may be and usually is with all cases, the three following symptoms; great restlessness, bowel trouble and fever. Fever is the most common of or most constant of all of the signs. It is not always high-some children run only a slight fever. But fever in some degree is present in practically all of the cases. Headache is complained of usually by the older children. Parents Think It Is Something Else In many of these cases (those with the paralysis) the parents attribute these symptoms to a fall or a blow received several days before. The fact is that the fall or the blow was due to the advancing paralysis and not vice versa. When more closely questioned the mother will remember a few days before the fall the child vomited and had a fever. She thought this was caused by something it had eaten. Paralysis may take place in nearly any part of the body-the arms, the legs, the chest through the respiratory center of the throat. How do you get Paliomyelitis or Infantile Paralysis? This will be answered in our next issue. WARNING If your child young or old, is ill even though only slightly, call a doctor at once, it may or it may not be "infantile paralysis" and if it is your child may be saved a hopeless case of paralysis by early care and treatment of a good doctor. STEALS KEYS FROM SHERIFF TO FREE PRISONERS Ackerman, Miss., July 23—(A.N.P.) Sheriff Melton is looking for two prisoners and the nervy culprit who stole his keys to the jail and effected the escape of the prisoners. It all happened Thursday night and the sheriff did not miss his keys or the prisoners until he made a trip to the jail to see how things were getting on. The prisoners liberated were Frank Coleman, Bill Cooper, both held on serious charges. Terre Haute, Indiana, N. A. A. C. P., in the Kennedy kidnapping case two years ago.

Gary police are said to believe him the murderer of a minister there three years ago. Neither the body nor any clue have been uncovered. RAILROAD CLATTER-COAST DOINGS By Charles L.

Wilson has just about tried his luck on every line in this district. He had a shot at the Chicago line for a long time, but could not stand the Seair; he tried San Diego, then got a break on the Del Monte. But did not last long there when the boys started bumping, he is now on the last rung of the adder.

Foster, Supt. of the Pullman Company, Jersey City Northern District has ignored a recent ruling by the U. S. Supreme court against any interference by carriers with their employees forming a union of their own, and also to refrain from using their influence to make them accept the "company union," were made recently by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a national order has been issued by A. Philip Randolph, president, to its members to prepare affidavits with a vow to securing a restraining order against the Pullman Company. According to Botherhood Officials, Porters under his supervision complain that Foster inquired if they were members of the Brotherhood and warned them that the company did not have to abide by the decision of the U. S. Supreme court because it will not recognize no outside union. A. Philip Randolph, president, states that the company was ordered by the U. S. Mediation Board, April 24th 1928 to refrain from compelling its Porters and Maids to vote for the Company plan, after several affidavits had been submitted by porters in Kansas City, but they ignored it. He states, however, that the company would not be so unwise as to violate a ruling by the highest court in the land that he was satisfied after listening to the complaints of the men who also admitted that the Superintendent was angered over the decision, that neither he nor any other official will attempt to place the company liable before a federal court. Despite the fact that other carriers have publicly announced a dissolution of company unions, th Pullman Company fails to do so. Texas Judges Defy Uni- ed States Supreme Court Philadelphia, Pa., July 22—By A.N.

Supreme Court in 1928, and was personally instructed by the late Chief Justice Taft to go into the Federal Courts of Texas and apply for injunctions against the state statute which the Justices of the Supreme Court held was in direct violation of the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. In a letter addressed to Raymond Pace Alexander, Esq., of Philadelphia, President of the national Bar Association, Mr. Evans appeals to the Association for unified action in securing enforcement of the law. Presidentender immediately in detail and requesting him to instruct the Federal Judges and District Attorneys in Texas to proceed against the state statute The question will be brought to the attention of the Bar Association at its annual convention in Washington, D.C. Pullman Maid has been enjoying a much needed vacation for the past few days, all work and no play makes the trips from Los Angeles to Chicago seem a whole lot longer then they really are. * * * . DISCONTINUE CALEXICO TRAIN PUTS THREE PORTERS OUT OF LINE The Southern Pacific have announced that the Calexico trains No. 45-46 will be discontinued; this means that three porters will have to go on the extra board until they can find another line, if I was still in the service, I do not think that I would feel very sorry over this announcement at this time of the year; outside Calexico down below, New Jersey Hall and M. E. Jackson are about the only two porters that I know that could stand the terrific heat in that neck of the woods. It finally got too hot for Hall and he went to the Fresno line, where he claims the climate is a little more milder. However, the writer can not see much difference between the three places, Calexico, Fresno and Hell. I was told that the citizens have been sleeping in the parks in Fresno for the past two weeks. What more proof do you want then that? When Hall arrives in Los Angeles he puts his overcoat on to keep from getting cold. Now is the time to join the Brother hood of Sleeping Car Porters. NATION TO WITNESS BARADES OF PORTERS Paraes will be held in cities throughout the United States on September 6th by Pullman car Porters and Maids' in an effort to enlist the support of the nation in the fight of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to make the great Railroad concern recognize the Union. The National Office of the Brotherhood at 239 W. 136th St., announced that a New York Citizens Committee by Rev. William Loyd Imes will lead the parade of workers on Fifth Ave. In line of March will be representatives of many civic, religious and social organizations of that city. It was not learned at this writing, whether a demonstration of any kind will be made in this city. SAN FRANCISCO PLATFORM MEN INFORM PORTERS REGARDING SPACE SOLD; LOS ANGELES STILL HAS OLD For many years the porters of this district have had the same old grief of hunting up the Pullman Conductor before they were able to find out how many bees they had to make. this feature has always been quite a handle to the porters who handle large loads, especially those operating lines up and down the coast of Alaska on a long train, the Pullman Conductor, gets through collecting his tickets, hides himself away in some drawing room, forgets all about the porter, who is left to guess what beds he must make down. There are a few conductors who tell the porters what space is sold before he leaves the car, but you can count these on your fingers; as a rule when leaving Los Angeles on the coast line train it falls a porter's lot to go through the train in search of the Pullman conductor to get this important information, as a porter go ahead and man down his beds by guessing and happen to make too many he is likely to get called on the carrot cameras San Francisco has solved the problem by having the Platform Agent inform the porters what they have sold before the train makes its departure. this enables the porter to give his passengers the right kind of service. Los Angeles will do well to follow San Francisco's example; instead of jacking the porters up making too many beds. A very bad condition used to exist on the San Diego line at the time the writer was operating on that train, it was a very rare occasion when this train departed from Los Angeles without 2 to 4 upper berts, even if there were lowers vacant, however, an order was issued to make the upper berths up as the time in the train did not leave until 1:00. M. and very often long for the passengers had retired in the lower, the upper would be sold, the line was equipped with the old fashioned cars which had the straight curtains and the passenger occupying SAN FRANCISCO NEWS San Francisco, July 25—William H. Wilkerson and Frank Bookman of this city are being initiated into the Masonic order in West Gate Lodge in Berkeley. We wonder what the gott thinks of this as Mr. Wilkerson only weighs only a trifle over three hundred pounds and Mr. Bookman is just slightly under 190. Some one should call the S. P. C. A. Here is one for the book. Some months ago Mr. Benjamin, one of President Hoover's higher up on the Pacific Coast sailed for an extended trip around the world. Some, there are who were kind enough to say it was just a case of getting away from some of those seeking employment in the Hoover administration, but be that as it may, one of Mr. Benjamin's political henchmen, through Benjamin's secretary sent him word that he, the henchman was still waiting for that long waited on him. Mr. Benjamin is reported to have called from his village near Rome as follows, "tell him I am out of politics." When this message was delivered it is reliably reported that the cable companies refused to accept the message in reply to Mr. Benjamin. All of which also brings to mind the vast number of political friends of Mr. Hoover, who since his election have retired from politics, namely, Mr. Milton S. Escherg, who had charge of raising most of the money for the Hoover campaign without effect quietly smoking his Van. Dykes (advertisement) up stairs in his office on Third Street, but some say it is true that he has just quietly emerged there from aid in the campaign for Mayorrolph. Another higher-up in the National administration whom it has proved impossible for the small fish to see since the Hoover election is his California campaign manager, Mr. Mark L. Requa, who it is said has hid himself from his San Francisco office to a palatial home in Santa Barbara. In between times he finally finds time to meet President Hoover's representatives in domestic and foreign climes/ all of which makes it rather difficult for political job seekers to find let alone see him. Such is life in the far west. Over in Alameda Colony a member of the race is running for the assembly from the 39th district, M. N. Johnson by name, from all reports he is well qualified to fill this position. What a splendid thing it would be if five hundred citizens of Oakland would outnumber anything to aid him in his chair. This section is largely populated by Race men and women and is entitled to representation in the assembly. Efforts were made to win this district by John W. Fowler and William McFarland either, one of which might have been elected had proper support been given. We earnestly suggest that some people should be off for white candidates lend a little of their vociferousness to this cause. Rev. E. J. Magruder has introduced a new feature in connection with his church at 1667 Geary Street, where he now holds daily a summer Bible school for the children of the city. This is a splendid piece of work and parents should take advantage of this piece of work. Indeed all who are unfamiliar with the Bible should take it up and find some real reading in this great work: Rev. Magruder hopes ultimately to make this school and his church a recreational center for the young people of San Francisco. Among those attending the Fitts for governor luncheon at the William Taylor Hotel last Thursday, were Revs. E. J. Magruder of the Starr King A. M. E. Zion Church, L. B. Brown Baptist Church of Berkeley, W. J. McLamore, A. P. Alberga, M. Daly, editor California Voice, William Nickerson, E. C. Washington and Wesley C. Peoples. Fully 150 people attended and listened very attentively to the address delivered by Burton Fitts. Quite a number of circulars are being sent out of the race attacking the records of the various gubernatorial candidates and their attitude towards the Negro. First of these was one eminating from the Young headquarters and signed by John H. Taylor, who says some pretty harsh things about Mayor Rolph. Up to oate the Mayor's tenchmen have not adopted a report on the issue. This bombardment of Rolph has been followed by a heavy gas attack by the Negro Welfare league of California on the record of both Mr. Rolph and Mr. Young. the present Governor and from the latter's has come no reply, indeed it seems impossible for them to meet the charges hunted at them, singularly enough no attack has come in regards to Buron Fitts. It is possible that by his appointment of Leon Whitaker as deputy in his Los Angeles office, which appointment by the way is the first and only major recognition of the state of California, renders him immumed from attacks and that the Young and Rolph camps will have a hard time explaining away their noothing policies. The Negro people of California will have the opportunity in this election to vote for your man for the office of Lieutenant Governor, who by the very elements of tradition eminently fits him for the place. That man is none other that Mr. Tallant Tubbs who for the past six years has served as State senator from the San Francisco district. It is called that when his grandfather was a senator from this city in the early seventies he was among those who voted for the ratification of the 13th and 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution of the United States. Mr. Tallant Tubbs will certainly carry out the liberal views of this paternal grandfather. Riverside News BY MRS. W. G. WILLIAM Sunday was a big day at the A. M. E. church. Rev. Prince and several members of Pasadena, Rev. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Chapel, and his choir were guests. The morning services were conducted by Rev. Prince and the afternoon meeting by Mrs. Phelps, of Pasadena. The evening services by Rev. Shaw and his choir. The services were well attended all day and everyone enjoyed the wonderful messages from the visiting pastors. The play given at Junior High school, entitled, "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice" was well attended. Each number was well rendered. The New York Avenue Baptist church Monny night was good and largely attended. Alabama Pythians Close Convention With Two Groups of Officers Birmingham: Ala., July 22—By A.N.P. The annual meeting of the State Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythians closed at Tuscumbia with two distinct sets of officers. One representing those who have sought to oust the former officers and another composed of the administration which has been appointed. That the convention was going to be lively was indicated on the opening morning when R. A. Blount, grand chancellor and his staff of officers, were enjoined from holding the convention. A temporary convention was held in which J. B. Butts of this city was elected Chancellor with an entire new personnel of officers. The old order was re-elected, according to their version of the convention and the Pythians are due for another spell in court, as far as appearances go. The officers are set out sometimes in the court and as with the election officers both sides claim a distinct victory. The officers elected at the convention held by those who have opposed the present administration are: J. B. Butts, Grand Chancellor; L. A. Van House, Master of Exchequer, and W. C. Davis, Treasurer of the Endowment. The group of officers elected by the "regulars" included the roster of the entire personnel of former officers, including R. A. Blount, Grand Chancellor and Dr. U. G. Mason secretary treasurer of the endowment. CENTRO NEWS Last Saturday evening, The Electric Laundry, J. P.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown motored to Los Angeles last week end and were the guests of their daughter, Mrs Herbert Neal. RUSH YOUTH TO STATE PRISON FOR SAFE-KEEPING Columbia, S. C., July 23—A.N. P.—Elisha Kingsborough, an 18-year-old youth, was rushed here from Clinton early Monday morning after he had been arrested charged with entering a white man's home for the purpose of robbery. The precaution taken by the sheriff of Clinton was due to the fact that the youth entered the room of a white woman who screamed. He was afraid that this angle might cause a few hot-heads to circulate the report that the boy attacked the woman and a lynching might be attempted. Kingsborough has confessed that he entered the house and the room, but declares that he did not know the woman was in the room and that his only purpose was to burglarize the house.

Therefore the merchants have so accepted the figure and will do their part in the battle which we have launched, that this people should rally to the call "Don't trade where you can't work."

ANY KING DREAM --- 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 43 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1930 O ToMarysvilleG.U.O.O.F. And ye shall know the truth and the truth will make you free...John 8:32. * TELL THE TRUTH, IT * SOUNDS BETTER WE SHALL NEVER forget our first grammar school composition, as they were then called. When our teacher read it, she smiled, we grew skeptic. Looking up we presume wistfully anxious to know why the smile, when to our great satisfaction, she turned her beaming, kindly eyes upon us and said. "Always write the truth, it sounds better." From that time until the very present it has always been our desire and intention to write the truth, and when we err, my deaf friends, it is a mistake of the head and not of the heart. Hence, a few days ago when a representative of one T. G. Gaskin of 1214 E. 24th street came to us and stated the case of how he had been denied the automobile that was his by virtue of the fact that he held the lucky number according to a radio announcement, because he was colored and not white. And now a member of the Benj. Bowie Post, American Legion comes in and tells us that the information received was all wrong. In the premises, dear public, you will have to decide the case. POLITICAL SPITES AND RESPITES THESE ARE HUNGRY times, but even hunger should not cause us to forget that there is a future day just a little distance beyond and that we may need the same bridge of kindness to help us cross over from the present to the future. "Little drops of water, little grains of sand make a mighty ocean in a desert land:" and little bits of kindness as well as little acts of mercy should make a deep impression on the human mind. In the heat of political campaigns when men are filled, as a rule, with the desire to reign over other men in places of power and influence or certain corporations with big financial backing come forward with a man they propose to use, body and soul, to put over a program of graft. We often lose sight of the real issues involved which possibly later on affect our group interests to disadvantage, and see only the glittering silver and gold which satisfies but for a moment our individual material needs. Twere better to suffer a few more days of hunger and thirst while we find our places in the body politic than spite our own interests. THE ROLAND HAYES REPUB- LICAN STUDY CLUB ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, July 20 the Roland Hayes Republican Study club of Long Beach held a rousing Fitts for Governor mass meeting to which the people of Long Beach responded en masse, and Attorney Leon Whitake, representative from the District Attorney's office who was the principal speaker was at his best in the description of the caliber, of man that the State of California needed for Governor at this time. Mrs. Helen Werner, the other speaker for this occasion said among other things, that she interpreted the Constitution of the United States to read but one way and that it read all citizens regardless of race, color or previous conditions are equal under the law. Mrs. Bettie Hill, Council President, spicely introduced among other candidates, Attorney E. C. Jennings, the colored aspirant for a place on the Superior Court bench. Mrs. Hill declared to the audience, then seething in interest for more light on things politically, that this was Woman's Day and no longer would crooked politics be tolerated by them. WAR MOTHERS ONE OF THE middle western papers is bold enough to state that since Negroes fought in separate trenches in the World War, it saw no logical reason why Negro Mothers should not be taken over to France to visit the graves of their dead hero sons in separate ships. In answer to this (Continued on Page Thirteen) "Not Without Laughter" Langston Hughes has written a story of humble, poor but real Negro people, showing that their life is lived poignantly, often painfully, but "not without laughter." It is Langston's first prose story of book length, and it stands among the best of all the stories we have so far read on the Negro. We doubt whether Mr. Hughes will ever write a better story than this, we hope that he will write others as good. Here's the history, the living dramatic history of a por Negro family of a small Kansas town, and yet it is not full of exaggerated piles of "dirt". There are, of course, no angels in this book. It is not a book about heaven, but about black people who live and work and suffer and sing and dance and die in a white man's country. There is undoubtedly something autobiographical about the little hero, "Sandy" whom we see growing up from a desistute to a struggling high school lad, "Aunt Hager", "Jimboy", "Anamjee", "Harrieett", "Tempy", "Sister Johnson", and "Mme. de Carter" are all real people, humans in dark skins. In this book, as literature, Langston Hughes shows himself as great a master in "American prose as in poetry. When he describes a banjo picker, the banjo has as much personality as the picker. When he cepicts a Negro dance, everything is alive and wiltly active, every instrument is a performer and every musician also an instrument of some super-spirit who moves and plays on souls, minds, bodies. His chapter called the "Dance" is a classic, and is unrivaled in all literature, as a description on such a function among the humbler colored folk. There is no plot in this story except the great plot of Human Life. We have a section of human life, with youth and old age acting and reacting on each other. Many of the chapters are complete stories in themselves and could stand satisfyingly alone. The lyrics and songs which these various characters are made to sing would establish Langston Hughes' reputation as a poet, if it were not already established. There is in this tale, incidental, and unoffending propaganda of social truth. This book is a pathfinder away from the lurid jungle lies that have been passing for "Negro stories." Roberts Host to Assemblyman of Hawaii Roberts Host to Assemblyman of Hawaii Assemblyman F. M. Roberts one last Saturday morning was the host to a breakfast, honoring Assemblyman Noble R. Smith a member of the Legislature of the Island of Hawaii. Prof. Hunt of Washington also shared guest honors with the distinguished law maker. A splendid repast prepared by Mrs. Roberts, the wife of the Assemblyman and Mrs. Saunders his sister, was enjoyed to the utmost by the guests—Among whom were Prof. T. A. Green, Prof. W. Eason, Attorney E. C. Jennings, Editor Fred C. Williams, Emory V. Crain, Ivan Sanders, W. Roberts, A. Bauman, Louis Tennette, W. Halt, T. J. Winston, W. Coleman, J. B. Bass. The honored guest was profused in his expressions of appreciation for the hospitality extended to him and in speech gave his listeners an inspiring talk along the lines of his efforts and progress in the bailwick in which he has labored. Mr. Smith native home is in Wyoming and though he came to the states on the sad mission to accompany the remains of his brother and to bury him in the family plot at Cheyenne, he nevertheless was happy to visit his old home. Mr. Smith is a Graduate of the University of Nebraska, an engineer of repute and has made wonderful success in his adopted home, Hawaii. Farm Demonstration Agents Begin Course (By The A. N. P.) Orangeburg, S. C. July—Through a gift of some $15,000 by the Rosenwald Fund, of which E. R. Embree is president, farm and home demonstration agents working in three southern states, under the Extension Department of the United States Department of Agriculture, are attending a short course in agriculture here at the So. Carolina State College. The agents come from the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and studying the latest methods of farming and home-making. A faculty of experts has been assembled, and much interest is being manifested in the various courses. Like schools will be held at the Tennessee State College and at Prairie View College, Prairie View, Texas. Mayor Rolph At Jefferson High School Mayor James Rolph, Jr., of San Francisco made his first personal appearance before a colored audience at the Jefferson high school auditorium on last Friday evening. The spacious auditorium was about one second filled for the occasion. For this we are sure no one is to blame except the campaign management, which was too penurious or loath to expend the necessary cash to place their advertisements in the Negro journals, that such a meeting was to be held. For sure had the populace been advised that so great and popular character as the genial mayor was to be present and speak this auditorium would have been filled to capacity. For be it known these people are fair and are at all times ready and willing to give to any aspirant such as this one happened to be a respectful hearing. However we are frank to say the program was a very creditable one and both of the addresses by the Mayor or and the other by his secretary, Mr. Rainey were to the liking of the people present. Mayor Rolph makes a splendid appearance and an appealing appeal. He stated he was the champion mayor of the world. He paid a high compliment to his secretary, Mr. Rainey and to his usher Len Harris. Without calling any name he deprecated what he called a vision attack on him by some individual from San Francisco and asked "Are you to believe this attack by this man against the Mayor of San Francisco?" Mr. Rainey reviewed at length the stewardship of the Mayor and went into every detail thereof. C. H. Alston, the virile and human dynamo, who is the leader for the Rolph forces in this section presided over the meeting. Other speeches were made by various speakers and candidates. Mr. Powell, far famed tenor rendered several selections to the delight of the audience. He made a special trip by airplane from San Francisco to fill this engagement. Sylvester Dunjee, who has resided here for several years and who was one of the chiefs in the former Marlow Agency and later worked as a special investigator for both the County and City Law Enforcement Agencies, passed away last week after a short confinement to his bed. He had ben afflicted from a concreous growth in his throat which was the immediate cause of his death. His funeral was held from the Funeral Parlors of the Connor-Johnson Company. Tuesday afternoon, when a large concourse of friends and acquaintance turned out to pay their last respects. All Ready For 1,000 Voice Concert, Hollywood Bowl, Monday Evening, August 4th All Ready For 1,000 Voice Concert, Hollywood Bowl, Monday Evening, August 4th Mme. Florence Cole Talbert Comes West to Participate But a few hours now an dthe most unique event in Western Musical history will take place. Laden with the soulful deep seated, earnest harmony that characterize the Negro voice, 1000 young singers will pour forth melody from spirituals and folk songs of the Negro race. Extensive preparations have been completed, not only to supply an unusual entertainment that has all music lovers of the city and vicinity in suspense, but also the greatest facilities for handling the vast crowd have been made. The Pacific Railway Company has arranged to run excursions every five minutes from the subway station, at 4th and Hill Streets. The low fare will be ten cents each way and a careful schedule will be in effect. If Not Fitts For Governor—Who? Everyday and every hour gives evidence that the sentiment is stronger each day for the election of Buron Fitts for Governor. There is a crisis in the affairs of government and it is up to the people who will speak out in no uncertain tones at the August primaries. Fitts is the man of the hour, he is the man of destiny. To our mind he is a Hastening here for this special event, Mme. Cole Talbert, nationally famous song bird arrived last Thursday morning from the East, and her appearance alone will be a treat to the many white and colored patrons. Many celebrities and stars of the motion-picture industry will be present through arrangements made by Mme. Sul-te-wan. Honorable Fred Roberts, Assemblyman will present the Silver loving cup to the winning chorus in the contest. Long Beach, San Pecio, and Santa Monica are running special excursions to bring throngs from the beach cities to this great event. A COUNTRY CLUB AT YOUR DOOR A company of well known citizens have secured a long lease on the plant of the Helfin Manufacturing Company located on Santa Ana Boulevard near Compton and are in the process of making improvements at a cost of $30,000.00 which will make the site a veritable palace for amusement purposes. Bear in mind if you please; the Helfin plant itself is one of the largest and most commodious buildings in the city, with both exterior and interior a thing of beauty and joy forever. It occupies a floor space of some 26,700 feet and the entire surroundings occupies an actiege of nearly five acres. The promoters of this new country club are thoroughly remodeling and renovating the building itself and are putting in a swimming pool 100 by 150 feet with a depth of 4 feet to 10 feet. At the west end of the tract they are making a huge artificial lake, which will be supplied with row boats and surrounded with foliage and trees; on the east end a modern golf course is being erected, all of which will be completed and the grand opening will take place on Labor. Day which is the first Monday in September. LOCATION IDEAL AND WILL MEET POPULAR DEMAND It will therefore be seen there is nothing which will hinder this proposition if properly managed to thrive and become the mecca of amusement lovers from all sections of the country. It has everything to make it so. It has space, it brings the beach to your door, located right in the city a twenty minute ride from any part of the city, therefore the new venture which will be known as the Appomatox Club will solve the ammusement and conveniences of the country club without traveling miles to get there. The officers of the Company are A. S. Lavine, President; Rebe Spikes, Secy; W. L. Gross, Treasurer; L. N. Heflin, Temporary Chairman; Board of Directors, R. R. Johnson, L. Wilson, E. Johnson, J. Johnson, Les Hite, Music Director and W. L. Heflin, Business Manager. If Not Fitts For Governor—Who? Everyday and every hour gives evidence that the sentiment is stronger each day for the election of Buron Fittie for Governor. There is a crisis in the affairs of the affairs of government and it is up to the people who will speak out in no uncertain tones at the August primaries. Fitts is the man of the hour, he is the man of destiny. To our mind he is a counter, part of the late and beloved Roosevelt, who in obscurity as a police commissioner of New York City, woke up that burg and put it on its way for civic righteousness. Fitts like Roosevelt, has demonstrated that he stands for all men up and no man down. With him all people are just people and all of them, the rich, the poor, the humble, the exalted are treated just the same and for this reason among many others is the secret of his hold upon the people, who have decreed he is the man of the hour. "If Not Fitts Who?" J. Allen Reese Unanimously Re-Elected As Grand Chancellor Of Knights Of Pythias J. Allen Reese Unanimously Re-Elected As Grand Chancellor Of Knights Of Pythias A special wire from Oakland, Calif., where the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias are in session is to the effect that J. Allen Reese was elected to succeed himself for the fifth term and such election was by a unanimous vote. Thomas B. Norman was elected as Grand Recorder and Santa Monica was chosen as the next meeting place. We are much pleased to learn of the action of the Grand Body and its decision to continue in the march of progress. J. Allen Reese is one of the outstanding characters among the young men of the entire country. He is progressive and with the highest ideals surely fills hi mto lead this splendid order to the heights of success. Fitts Workers Visit Santa Ana, Calif. Enthusiasm was at a high pitch Monday evening, July 28th when Dr. W. D. Carter, popular pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church Pasadena and his party consisting of the Rev. Lutz of Whittier, Captain and Mrs. Galanes of Pasadena and Mrs. G. A. Bass of Los Angeles moved the noiseless but fact convincing Fitts. For Governor caravan into Orange County and as has been reported by Mr. Caldwell McGill, captured of the 397 votes in that county, 327 for Fitts. The speakers, all of whom were convincing in their arguments wasted no time fighting individuals of different faiths but stated the facts as they exist to the people of Santa Ana and Orange County, and they eagerly received the truth, at times demonstrating supreme satisfaction for the (By: A. N. P.) Boston, Mass., July 30.—Dr. Andrew B. Latimore is a candidate for the state legislature from ward Nine on the Democratic ticket. The ward is in the Roxbury District, which is heavily populated by colored people. However, it is overwhelmingly Democratic and white voters are in the majority. Some years ago Dr. Latimore ran for the same position but was defeated. At that time he was a Republican. He is one among the many Negroes who in recent years have renounced their allegiance to the Republican party and joined the Democrats. Western Baptist Meet At Venice The Western Bautist Association convened at Venice, Tuesday, the guest of The 1st Baptist Church of that City of which Rev. Miller is the pastor. Delegates were present from all sections of southern California and all indications are to the effect that it will be one of the greatest sessions in the history of the organization. Rev. W. D. Carter is the moderator and Rev. Dickerson, secretary. Tuesday night a public reception was held at which welcoming addresses and responses were the order of the evening. On Thursday, Rev. John R. Guadin made a notable address in which he touched upon the all absorbing economic proposition confronting our people. Among other things he said, "by registering as voters and supporting those who are friendly to your race is a sure way to get favors and recognition. If you attend political gatherings, show candidates that you have voting power and you can control the election of good men." Unfortunately to many are controlled or influenced by paid workers. For $5.00 per day some would tell you to vote for Ku Kluxans. A local bank bulletin said there can never be an honest government while so much money is spent on elections. In the business world you can likewise demand representation. I know of an insurance company collecting from 25 cents to $5.00 per week in hundreds of your homes yet, they refuse to give anyone of your race a job as an agent. Suppose your race would say, "if no one in our race is good enough to sell your insurance, then we are not good enough to carry your politics and pay the premium on them." You can support your own such as the Golden State, keep your money at home and build your own large insurance companies. You should demand that your race have recognition in the political and business world. Mr. Gaudin is one of the outstanding ministers of the white race. manner in which their guests put forth arguments which truly convinced them that the present governor, C. C. Young had certainly unceremoniously denied the Negro every inch of recognition that is due him as a citizen of this State and Nation. It was cited that Governor Young had appointed 229 Commissions and not one single Negro in the entire State of California had been given recognition on any, and that the San Francisco Negro had less recognition in that city today than he had 18 years ago when his honor Mr. Rolph became mayor of San Francisco. On to Marysville for The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows The District, Grand Lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will convene in Marysville, California on next Monday, August 4th to hold its Annual Session. As a consequence Odd Fellow circles are busy this week end as their representatives leave for the big meeting in Marysville. There are many Lodges throughout Southern California and each one will send one or more representatives. The Odd Fellows Home located at Tulare, California is a creature of this body, and all lodges and Households of Ruths vie with each other in giving support to the home. Many propositions of moment to the progress of the order are due to come up and be passed upon. B. M. C. FOR 1932 The question of inviting the B. M. C. to meet in this city in its Biennial Session for 1932 will be brought up and acted upon. It is conceded this will be a wonderful opportunity to procure the National meeting of Odd Fellows. For all National bodies of all races are coming to Los Angeles in 1932 during the Olympic games and it is predicted there will be no difficulty in persuading the national body to bring its next meeting here. TEXAS YOUTH INDICTED WHILE HEAVILY GUARDED Wheeler, Texas, July 29.—Completely surrounded by Texas Rangers, Jesse Lee Washington was indicted by a special grand jury here Thursday for the murder of Mrs. Henry Vaughn, a white woman near Shamrock last Friday. Washington was returned here by the Texas Rangers from Granite Prison, Granite, Oklahoma, where he had been rushed for safe keeping when it was evident that whites in Shamrock were bent upon lynching him. The Rangers were armed to the teeth with revolvers, rifles, machine guns, and tear gas bombs. _Judge E. R. Ewing transferred the case to Miami on a change of venue and the trial will be held July 8. Subsequent disorders, including the driving of Negroes from their homes in the towns on the Texas and Oklahoma border led to the belief that even with the troopers present there was a possibility of attempted mob violence. Little or no defense was made for the 27-year-old youth who was captured while he was asleep in his quarters on the Vaughan farm, immediately after the white woman had been killed. Some of those who believed the prisoner innocent or the crime expressed the opinion that a man who had killed a white woman, especially a Negro, would not have gone to sleep so near the scene of the crime and others believe that he is a half-wit. Washington was almost lynched when he was arrested and the sheriff fearing that the second attempt would be successful rushed him across the state border to the Granite, Oklahoma, prison. The loss of their prey so incensed the blood-shirred and unemployed whites that they sought to wreak vengeance upon every Negro in the section in both states. The life of no Negro so far his property was safe as the armed and angry border of men, women and children roamed the country molesting Negroes. The feeling between the race is far from amicable and despite the close guard which is being kept over the situation a racial clash is possible and probable.

We thought everyone was feeling it but dogged if we didn't see about 3000 of our folks last Saturday night at the Apex Golf Course that bore no ear-marks of even the first degree of hard times. Over two thousand nine hundred ninety-eight of the three thousand we saw were according to Hoyle dressed to kill. Patent leather shoes, golf caps, pants and silk shirt to match. No one seemed to have less than a five spot in their pockets and the way the men folks escorted their golf clubs and the women folks, old and young, over the course and about the premises 'twas a sight to behold. We noticed two things that kept us from really getting a kick out of the picture and laughing. The first was three thousand colored folks were having plenty fun just enjoying themselves. The second one and most important was while colored 'folks laughed and romped, "Mr. George" kept tab and had charge of the most important thing—the Cash Register. He was tending to business while we played and as a result was about $1000 to the good opening night. OLD FOLKS- Recently we learned of the sudden death, by accident, of a familiar character in Portland, well known here in Los Angeles, as Old Folks. True he was only a trainer of prize fighters but the sixty-five years he had spent dealing with the ways of the world had ripened him with knowledge and his smiling face and polite ways had won him a host of friends in which we include our name. Old Folks gave the world a square deal and as a result the world treated him kindly and in his passing little as we might think his loss is a distinct one to mankind. GAME DUCK We learn that Governor Young is becoming interested in Negro business concerns. Recently he stumbled into the Golden State and received an agreeable surprise. We hope that the surprise was in keeping with his facial expression—a pleasant one. BELIEVE IT OR NOT... There were over 2700 of your and my folks, mostly yours, visited Los Angeles a week or so ago. They hailed from Texas and Louisiana and no few of them came never to return. Welcome stranger, brother in black. * * * CHURCH CONSOLIDATION. We're wondering just what effect the white man's efforts along the line of church consolidation is going to have on the Negro church. Only this week the Presbyterian conference in session here recommended consolidation with the branches of Methodism. Strikes me we'd be a heap better off it we'd stop so much religious expansion and start a consolidation moveland. As a matter of fact just to be frank we've got too many ministers and denominations and not enough religion said the half starved superannuated preacher as the audience sang Praise Gcd From Whom All Blessings Flow.

Hasten to the course, you can learn in 10 minutes. Open daily from 7:30 A. M. to 12 P. M. Only 25 cents a game. Let us boost this Negro golf course. We Observed It seems that certain Negroes own chains of barber shops in the south; and are growing prosperous in the business. White barbers are endeavoring to pass rigid (folish) laws making it hard for Negroes to operate shops. For example: "Nation" July 16, 1930, here are a few proposed questions that all barbers must answer in order to open and operate a shop. Regardless of the native skill of the tonsorial artist he must know the physic, chemistry, and physiology of hair! Boss!!! (1) How many hairs are there to the square inch on the human head? (2) Where is the arrector pili muscle located and what is its function? (3) How is the hair connected with the blood stream and the nerve system? (4) Describe the function and location of the sebaceous glands. (5) What is the scientific name for hair that shows a tendency to split? etc., etc. Some states are planning to adopt similar cam fool questionaires for Negro plumbers embalmers, realtors in order to "protect the public" so they say.

The President, Mr. B. J. Heslep opened the house. He afterwards introduced and turned tate meeting over to Miss C. C. Clark, mistress of ceremonies. Meeting was carried out very intelligently. There were many candidates Those who scramble to meet "important personalities." Like the earth's moon, they would live in the reflected glory of a shining luminary. Those who bob their horse's tail in order to attract attention. Those who over load their homes with furnishings and their automobiles with extra fixtures in order to appear prosperous, up to par. Those who deform their bodies and bear torturous pains in order that they look beautiful ?—)for a wee moment. Those who perform at the piano like a jumping jack; who thrust their right and left three and a half feet into the air (prayer like) before launching on the trail of some brilliant passage—a cadenza for example De Pachmann couldn't hold a candle to some of the would-be virtuosi of the ivories who kick, lunge, sprawl, and thrust when the music grows tense or ponderous. Those who stay away from church because they need a new hat. Those who, sacrifice health and comfort to outshine the neighbor's new car. Those who broad-cast their knowledge of the Book of Etiquette. Those who buy expensive clothes and eat cheap food. Those who boast of their bank accounts, their blue blood relatives, their talented offsprings. Those who pray long, flowery prayers in public. Those who refuse to use big words in order that they may appear modest. Those who are ashame to wear overalls on the streets. Those who think that owning a library of books is synonymous to being cultured. Those who think that college degrees and fraternal affiliations can substitute for character, industry, and ability.

Friday, August 1, 1930 See this unique melodrama, opening August 3rd, at the Tivoli Theatre, if you want to discover the surprising outcome of the picture. Donald Gallier, who directed the production, is said to have, combined a rapid-fire and highly breathless story with a novel form of treatment, which provides a delightful alternation of thrills and roars throughout the progress of the narrative. Marceline Day enacts the leading feminine role with Henry B. Walthall. Peter Cawthorne, Cyril Chadwick, Ivan Linow, A. B. Lane and Yorke Sherwood in the chief supporting parts. One of these men, by the way, is the Strangler himself—but the theatre management defies anyone to identify him until the end of the story. In fact, we believe it to be a "capital" offense for anyone to reveal the conclusion of a mystery drama. Preview notices hail MacKenna's work is equally the performances established in such outstanding notable Fox Movietone successes as "Men Without Women." "Love, Live and Laugh." "South Sea Rose" and "Pleasure Crazed." ALICE YET SAYS SHE IS WHITE (By: A. N. P.) New York, July 30—Comes now Alice Rhinelander] the best news copy colored newspapers have had in their century of existence, with the following statement: "I am as white as you are. I could not afford to marry a colored man as some newspapers declare I intended doing. My mother is English and my father is Indian extraction, with his mother being white. The thing which has hurt me most in all of my litigations in court is the fact that the newspapers have called me a "Negress."" All of which is 2 winding up of the most publicized colored woman ever to break into the front pages of Metropolitan newspapers. The latest news from the warring camps is that Mae $31,500 which Alice is to receive is merely the first payment of a sum estimated at $250,000. The statements that she was to marry a member of a German vaudeville group by the name of Berger, was denied by Alice, who did say that she had been out with Mr. Berger one or two times and that the troupe tried to get her to appear in their vaudeville act. But she reneged when it came time to signing a contract. Following this was a statement to the effect that Kip's discarded wife, who is white, according to her statement, and black according to Kip and a jury, would marry a colored gentleman from Richmond, Virginia, answering to the name of John Williams. It is rumored that the former Mrs. Rhinelander will sail for a trp to England shortly, but whether or not the English government will admit her is questionable. England has never forgotten the case of the Countess Cathcart and strikes back with the same weapon of "moral terpitude" which faced the Countess on her visit to America, when James C. Thomas, a colored attorney in the Federal service, fought her admission. Parolled Prisoner Cuts Brother By A.N.P. Varnville, S. C. July—Mac Johnson, who was paroled just one year ago by Governor Richards is in the foils of the law again, this time for attempting to cut his brother George Johnson to death. According to George Johnson's statement, he was lying across the bed when "Mac" entered. Without any warning whatever, Mac pounced upon him and began slashing him with a knife. He succeeded in knocking his assailant down and wrestling the knife from him. He called the police and bad Mac put in jail. This is the second time Mac has been in a cutting scrape since his parole.

July 30.—Protest against the sending of colored Gold Star Mothers to France in a segregated group, on a combined freight and passenger boat, has not ended with their departure on July 11. Mrs. Walter Ferguson, well-known columnist whose articles appear in the 26 newspapers of the Scripps-Howard chain, has this to say of the discrimination, as a white person: $ ^2 $ "Just why it was thought necessary to discriminate against the Negro Gold Star Mothers in the matter of cheaper passage, slower boats and less comfortable housing while in New York City, it is indeed difficult to understand. Of the 450 Negro women who were to have visited the graves of their sons in France, all but a few cancelled their reservations when they found they were to be Jim Crowed until they reached foreign shores. "It is unlikely that the French, who are a polite and thoughtful people would have set up such caste lines in the matter of receiving them. Re gardless of how deep one's prejudice may be on the race question, here is an instance, it would seem, when color should have been entirely forgotten. The black man who fights and dies for America merits the sage high praise, the same monument and the same hero worship that is given to his white brother. "What a travesty upon democracy is this! These black boys are entrained and told they must help save this magnificent thing called democracy. Today they sleep forever, far from their beloved levees, their Harlem and their cotton fields. Few of them understood what the conflict was about. They were taken when the draft came, and puzzled and bewildered, they donned the khaki and set out upon their last venture. "Eleven years later, when the great fight for God and right has been won, their country puts out the same old platitudes. The same politicians shout the same old oratory. The same old militarism reigns. And their dark-faced mothers refuse this trip which they have anticipated for long, because, if you please, they find they are not quite good enough for the best. "From some remote black man's heaven, do these ghosts of their sons look down and smile with infinite wisdom as they watch this funny farce? And may not the white man's God drop a tear as He observes the gesticulations of His Nordic child who struts for a few days dressed in his pungy superiority?"" In the New York-World or July 21 Lorenzo D. Brothers of New York, a former soldier, expresses the following opinion of the episode: "When I was drafted into the service in 1917 I sailed for France on the S. S. President; Grant and returned on the S. S. South Bend in 1919. At that time I noted particularly that the Government transported both white and colored troops together and alike. Since that time, however, it seems that this same Government has somewhere and somehow best its power to do things on a big scale, and especially to enforce its Constitution, inasmuch as it is frankly admitting, through Secretary Hurley, its inability to compel ships chartered and operated under the protection of this same Constitution to do its bidding. If we reject this excuse as unreasonable, then we are forced to the conclusion that this affront to our Gold Star Mothers was intentional and that Secretary Hurley is only the tool of an ungrateful government."

Townsend, Sr., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, under indictment on a charge of murder by agent and conspiracy to commit a felony, to-wit murder in connection with the murder of E. D. Plierson, Chicago auditor, in a statement issued to the Associated Negro Press, declared that the secretary was a victim of persecution and was innocent or any connection with the crime. Declaring that Dr. Townsend was the victim of a huge conspiracy, Dr. Vass stated "The Conspirators against the life of Dr. Townsend left nothing undone to fasten the crime upon a man who is too gentle and kind to believe a conspiracy was directed against him when an attempt was made to assassinate him last year in fact, Dr. Townsend is so guileless and confiding that he can hardly believe men have conspired to kill him or somebody else must come to his defense." The so-called "juggling of a loan of $62,000," according to Dr. Vass, was not juggling but a loan made with the knowledge of the officers of the organization along with Mr. Pierson, who at first opposed the loan due to the large commission which had to be paid. He further said that at no time had Mr. Pierson charged Dr. Townsend with dishonesty or graft and that a most cordial relationship existed between the two officials. The reason why Dr. Townsend has made no statement concerning the case was given as he had been too busy with the affairs of the organization. Immediately following the announcement of the murder and the juggling creditors of the organization began to press Dr. Townsend and he has been busy using these matters ironed out, believing that he will be able to prove his innocence when the trial is held. J. S. Horne, reputed to be very close to Dr. Townsend, denied the report that Dr. Townsend had secured the services of seventeen criminal lawyers to defend him, stating that he knew that only two attorneys would represent him and his son at the trial.

WILLIAMS. PASTOR 21st Street and Naomi Services were largely attended and another spiritual feast enjoyed at St. Paul. The Sunday School is still progressing, new scholars weekly, each department is striving to have the best quarterly report, therefore everybody is busy. Pastor Williams was to complete his series of sermons at 11 A. M. on "Four Things a Christian ought" take time to do each day".

There were three accessions at this service. At 3 P. M. Rev. Strather and Mrs. E. O. Solomon responded to the call of the Pastor's Aid and gave very encouraging remarks.

Member New York.—Joseph W. Weaver, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in sending money order for Five Dollars to the N. A. A. C. P., asks, "What Negro can remain from its (the N. A. A. C. P.'s) folds?" "Although I am only a working man, I feel ashamed for not having become a member many years ago, in view of the splendid, great and necessary work being done by this organization" The N. A. A. C. P. has written Mr. Weaver expressing appreciation not only for his contribution, but equally for the fine spirit shown in this letter, and has expressed to Mr. Weaver the hope that many others will be inspired to follow his example wide publicity to the contest, stating that the babies who paraded in pajamas made the greatest hit. A report of the contest says: "Special mention should be made of the baby carriage parade which was in charge of Mrs. Octavia Young. In this section were nearly twenty children from the age of two years up to nine years, each child dressed to represent some event in history, some character or the styles of different periods. "The Fox Movie-tone cameramen worked for an hour after the parade securing stealing pictures of participants in the parade and we are hopeful that these pictures will be shown throughout the country. The success of the contest was due to the energetic efforts of the Committee composed of Mrs. T. H. Wilson, chairman, Mrs. Lucille Brown. Miss Matilda Ritchie and Miss Octavia Payne."

IN MEMORY OF ACE JOEL FOREMAN Who departed this life.August 2nd, 1929 "Mother" On the body of Ace Foreman, who met his death in an airplane accident were found the following bits of sentiment, tucked away in the pockets of his coat, and which show how beautiful were his thoughts: Sentences of Truth— By the Rev. Roy L. Smith The Man Who Surrenders— —To his fears never wins a victory. —To his difficulties always lives in valleys. —To his critics will always be in the midst of defeat. —His faith in God has surrendered the foundation of life. —His self-respect has surrendered the making of a soul. Memories In days of youth we wondered why so often age was heard to sigh. And why the unexpected tear At times so swiftly appear. We who were young and brave and small Possessed no memories to recall. Some little sad and solemn strain Of music brought the tears again. Perchance the gown another wore Recalled a loved one gone before. Things lightly touched by youth, appeared To be by older heart revered. And strange it was to see them there. The mother weeping in her chair. The father silent for the while. Trying so hard with us to smile. Winter and summer, spring and fall Brought us no sorrows to recall. But now our children wonder why So unexpectedly we sigh. Why, when a certain song we hear. We turn to brush away a tear. And yet that sweet familiar thing A long lost loved one used to sing. Oh, there are countless tokens near Which start the unexpeoted tear. Youth cannot know and understand Why sadness sits so close at hand. Yet time shall teach them, one and all All give them memories to recall. EDGAR A GUEST Love Affairs Ends In Tragedy (By The A. N. P.) Marion, N. C., July 29—A love affair of long-standing came to a tragic end when Eddie George shot and perhaps fatally wounded his sweetheart, Miss Adelaide Clemons, in a quarrel at the home of the young woman here Friday evening. According to the testimony of neighbors, George was exceedingly jealous, and it is believed that the quarrel had its origin in a dispute over other men paying court to Miss Clemons. Geo. was known to have been at the Clemons home Friday evening and following several shots was seen rushing from the house. Neighbors entered the house to investigate and found the young woman on the floor with bullet wounds in her right arm, in her jaw, and in her head. She was almost at the point of death when she was carried to the hospital. Following the shooting, George made his escape and officers are yet searching for him. ROOMS TO LET Hot and Cold Baths 1538 Fifth St. Santa Monica, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. A. Thurman, Prop. Detroit, Mich., July, 30.—"There's no such animal as my successor," said J. Finley Wilson here Wednesday day night. "I'm not going to run this year: I'm going to stand and be reelected by acclamation." With his usual cock-sureness and the characteristic Finley Wilson egotism the Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks of the World made these the closing words of a one-hour talk to the grand lodge convention committee and officials of the various Elk lodges and Temples which comprise greater Detroit Elk-dom at Wolverine lodge room. The "Little Napoleon" was making his final pre-convention visit, here for the specific purpose of summing up the work of the grand lodge convention committee preparatory to the convention here in August. Wilson was loud in his praise and commendation of the work done here and expressed himself as being pleased and surmised at the large amount of ready cash on hand raised during "these hard times" and this very serious economical depression. Whether or not the "grand" was exaggerating and wished to rub the fur of the committee in the right direction in order to hear it purr is not known, but he stated it as a fact when he said that no other city previous to this has had as much money to start the Convention off, and looks, he said, as if Detroit will initialize a tidy sum, say $50,000 on the right side of the ledger instead of showing a deficit like most cities after the convention. And the committee did purr, loud and long To strengthen this statement Finley produced a bill for $250 sent to him from Chicago for drinking water consumed by the 1,200 grand lodge delegates to the Elks national convention at Wendell Phillips High school in that city in 1928. Wilson is having a picture made of the bill which picture he says will be placed in the archives of Elkdom. When asked by the Associated Negro Press representative if he anticipated any serious opposition in his fight for re-election to the grand exalted rulership, Wilson replied, "As far as I know, there won't be any, and if I knew it would be all the same, for he wouldn't have a ghost of a chance to win. And as for fight, we don't fight any more. In fact, they can't get anybody to oppose me now," he continued, "for they all know that I am like the tree planted by the water: cannot be moved," he said with a hearty laugh. SETTLE CAB TROUBLE The Checker Cab Company, a white concern that does not cater to Negro trade, has been dickering with the convention committee for the business and after several conferences a rumor which was spiked forthwith, went the rounds that the Checker had gotten the business, but the colored cab companies combined have enough cabs to take care of the situation and as consequence will bear the official banners. ELKS FACE LEGAL FIGHT IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA An Associated Negro Press special PINGEL 1030 PHONE O.L.G.

BROWN SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Mordecai Johnson Joins Spingarn Medal Award Committee New York, July 30—Dr. Mordeca W. Johnson, president of Howard University and Fifteenth Spingarn Medallist, has accepted an invitation extended him by the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., to become a member of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee. Dr. Johnson's acceptance makes the second addition to the Committee within the past week, the other being, previously announced, being Edwin R. Embdee, president of the Julius Roserwald Fund. The full membership of the Committee now is: Oswald Garrison Villard, chairman; John Hope, James H. Dillard, Theodore Roosevelt, W. E. B. DuBois, Mordecal W. Johnson Unlike preconvention times last year when internal strife within the Elk ranks was boiling and charging and counter charges were being hurled by Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson and those of his lodge fellows kwho oppose his perennial rule of the popular order. This year the situation is entirely different. Everyone is keeping quiet except when the Grand Exalted Ruler lustily proclaims his confidence in succeeding himself. The very quietude so unusual in Elk elections is said by some of the wiser politicians to be an ominous sign. It means that Finley's enemies who last year exposed their hands, so that they could be discounted in advance are this year covering up. Reports have it that an assault is to be made upon the legality of maintaining the headquarters of the Elks in Washington, D.C. The contention is said to be that the constitution of the body orders that headquarters are to be maintained in the United States and that the District of Columbia does not come within the confines of that language. Attorney James Carter of Richmond, extreasurer, is said to be handling these plans, and it is reported that seven of the strong lodges throughout the country who have refused to pay grand lodge taxes this year have used that technicality as a reason. Ft. Dearborn Lodge, Chicago, which Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has not visited this year, Monarch of New York, and Monumental of Baltimore are said to be among the malcontents. Their plans are said to comprehend a fight at Detroit with an actual division between the conservatives and more radical elements of the order seen as being among the possibilities. Secretary James Kelley of Birmingham is said to be an interested and interesting figure in the developments. Kelley's hearty laugh and warm handclasp are said to be part of this habiliments as a celer froternal politician, and there are those who believe his star to be in the ascendency. Indeed there are those who so far go to say that despite Finley's confident attitude, either through abdication or force great changes may take place in Elkdom at Detroit. ELUS FONERAL BO'C. JEFFERS ONE: HUMBOLT ```markdown ``` MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. AUTHOR A. JOHNSON MARKER Black Manhattan Elicits Lavish Praise from Metropolitan Critics New York, July 320—"Black Manhattan" by James Weldon Johnson, a story of the Negro in New York from the earliest times to the present recently published, has evoked highly laudatory comments from distinguished New York critics. Lewis Gannett in the New York Herald-Tribune of July 13 declares, "Black Manhattan" is a book to make black men proud and to make white men wonder. It is a story of the people nobody knows a history, all but forgotten, that dates back to the first European settlement on Manhattan Island—the record of the Negro in New York, which means, incidentally and by reflection, of the Negro in America. * * * The story of the Negro in Manhattan is one of which the Negro and, for the most part, New York, may well be proud, and it has found a superb chronicler." Harry Hahnen, in the New York World says of "Black Manhattan" that "all this puts him (the Negro) before us not as a monstrosity, or a stranger from a strange land, but a human being meeting the conditions of competition in a great metropolis and winning his way by hard work. It should open the eyes or many who have associated the Negro merely with overdrawn pictures of Harlem cafe, life, and wild miscegenation." Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, in the New York Evening Post, says of Mr. Johnson's book, "There are few more fascinating stories, and Mr. Johnson tells it from the point of view of one who, in its most important years, helped to make it; who was personally acquainted with its chief characters, and who felt perhaps more than others, its rhythm and meaning * * * This is a book to be read and enjoyed, covering for the most part a field quite new to Americans, and done in genial almost colloquial English, clear in meaning and exhilarating in tone." Aubrey Bowser heads his review in the New York Amsterdam News, "Best of the Year!" He declares that Mr. Johnson "has thrown a hand-gernade and destroyed the "mental rut made by the idea that colored New Yorkers have never done much or anything and that one must go to Chicago, Atlanta, or some other city to find any evidences of Negro accomplishments. "It is the most valuable book of the year on the Negro," is Mr. Bowser's consummation.

The late President Woodrow Wilson during his term of office once penned a 14-point peace document that is still talked about. For some reason or other a certain brother that we feel kindly and friendly toward chose to publicly ask another brother, whom we also know and equally feel friendly towards, a big fraternal and religious light in our community, to answer seven questions he propounded to him in a local paper. And of course this brother that the questions were directed at didn't have any better sense than to comply with the wishes of the brother desiring light, and boy, oh boy, you talk about your one-round knock-outs: that reply, like Woodrow's, will go down in political and fraternal history as a masterpiece. 'Tisn't often now-a-days one gets what they ask for but in this particular instance we feel he got all he asked for. Don't carry your ideas into print unless you have the right Q. Say, put some water in my radiator. GOLDEN STATE And so the Golden State Insurance Company is being accused of using its good office to help stabilize the endowment department of a fraternal organization seeking to do good. Well, the gentleman in Annual Lodge, San Francisco, and teh Barber Shop investigator should confine their talent to their vocations instead of trying to sandbag a business organization that is employing over 140 men and women of our race to say nothing of other services it's rendering. Try throwing a compliment sometime and folks may listen to you. For further information turn to page two of the California Eagle, pink section, July 18th issue and read what Editor Wilson has to say. THOSE MOTHERS We feel proud of the Gold Star Mothers who had too much Americanism in them to allow themselves to be Jim-Crowed on a freight steamer. They are helping black America to carry on a fight their sons died for in the ultimate hope and belief that victory would some day be theirs. Carry on! Business concerns on the Avenue catering to our folks are s'lowly waking up to the far that they must eventually accede to the demands for employment being made by Negro patrons. God hasten the day that we wake up and demand our share of what is ours. The N. A. A. C. P. at its recent meeting decided to cease allowing its name to be for a political football. We're glad, for it stands for more than personal politics and must depend upon politics in a broader sense to carry on. MIXED MARRIGE NIGHTMARE OF ENGLISH PORTS (Continued from Page One.) citation for some of them. Their children, too, are very fascinating in their early years, and are very pretty, but their general ability seems to come to a sudden end, and there is no development after they reach a certain age. They do fairly well at school, but the trouble begins soon after they leave school. "The boys find employment in blindalley occupations until they are old enough to go to sea, and then they drift away. Some of the girls find employment in factories, and some go out to domestic service as day girls, but what becomes of them afterwards is really cannot say." The headmistress of a school in the district said; "The girls get married at twenty or twenty-five years of age generally at register offices." RACE FORUM—The Inter-Racial Forum was well attended Sunday. Miss Ethelwyn Mills, like Alfonso Corrillo, Mr. Paraph, Mr. Hattersley, has been requested to return soon and give another talk. An unusual program has been arranged for the next meeting (Suncay, August 3rd). Messrs. Chas F. Launder and Senor Eleseo Regolado will speak on the Pueblo and Aztec Indians respectively. The regular question period and open discussion will follow. Emil Bejano (Italian) violinist, Sho Chow Woo (Chinese) flutist, Miss Gladys Mathonican (Negro singer, and William Miller (White) pianist will render a musical program that one cannot afford to miss. The fact that Mr. Saunders has lived among the Pueblos and that Mr. Regoajo is himself a descendant of the Aztecs should make the talks all the more interesting. The Board of Directors are pleased to notice the interest shown by the supporters who come from Los Angeles and vicinity. The meetings are held regularly on the first and third Sunday of each month from 2:30 to 5 P. M. (Public Library corner Walnut and Garfield). Death- The death of Mrs. Rolph Troy, 310 N. Orange Grove, strikes one like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Mrs. Troy had been ill for quite awhile. But her sudden death was a shock to the entire community, colored and white. Musical— The annual students' recital held by Mrs. Thelma Dixon-Taylor at the C. M. E. Church Thursday evening was enjoyed by all. Everyone of the sixteen youthful musicians in the playing with great credit to teacher, parents, and themselves, Special mention is given to Bernice Bridges. Bernice James and Elanor D. Johnson. Miss Rosalin DePriest held a students' recital at her home Sunday afternoon. (We regret the ignorance of further details concerning this.) Sunday was Pew Day at Friendship Baptist. The B. Y. P. U. celebrated with 'a musical program that ended the fiscal year. The entertainment was well rendered: Vocal solo, Mrs. J. Utley; Whistling solo, Percy Williams; Vocal solo, Mr. Gurenwity; Address, TEACHER'S TRIBUTE Little curly-headed picnicinliness were busy with their lessons, in the school, and intelligence sparkled in their bright eyes when they were spoken to. "They are quite intelligent," said the headmistress, "and their brain power when young is equal to that of the white children, but as they grow they get mope difficult to manage. Some become trying and aggravating after they leave school. "Many of the girls-go to service, but they do not remain long. A good many are sent to London; a few remain there, but the majority return to Cardiff." The After-Care Committee stated that some difficulty was experienced in getting the girls in hotels or in factories, because white girls particularly object to work alongside colored girls. SOUTH SHIELDS South Shields supports an Arab colony of between five and six hundred in the Holborn district of the town. Public men here who have studied the problem of coloured colonies in British ports are urging that the Arab population should either be repatriated or seregated, to minimize the danger which it is feared will develop when the half-caste children reach school age. A doctor said: "Tuberculosis is prevalent in the north-cast, and although I do not say that the disease is more rampant in South Shields than elsewhere in the area, it is very bad. The disease is rife among the Arabs, 50 per cent of whom are married to white girls. "The colony has been established in South Shields about ten years, and scores of half-caste children are playing about the streets in the Arab quarter. Most of them are about four or five years old. "They are comparatively healthy now, although their physique cannot compare with that of the English child of the same age. We fear that during the next year or two diseases inherent in a number of these children will begin to make themselves manifest." RACIAL FUEDS A public man who is conversant with the problem said: "Between 200 and 250 colored men have signed on at the employment exchange, and the number of Arabs here tends to increase." The single men are living in a series of boarding houses, the accommodation of which could be improved. The problem increases as West Africans, Somalis, and other races join the colony, bringing with them their racial fuels. The Arab is dependable, courteous, and faithful to his obligations. White girls are fascinated by colored men, who are well dressed and liberal with their money. In almost every case the white girl puts temptation in the way of these men, and white girls married to Newly Renovated throughout. Thoroughly Sanitary; Cafe close by.

The attitude of the Arab to white women is usually, that of a gentleman. The children of such unfons, however, are weak and undersized, and liable to contract disease. They are generally unsuitable for employment, and in the present position can only become a burden on the State when they leave school. LONDON The problem is said not to exist in the London docks, because the colored seamen coming into this port are not Negroes, but Lascars—a docile and orderly class of men who have no money to spend, and have, moreover, contracted to return in the boats which brought them to England. They never settle over here. The majority of mixed marriages in the London dock area take place between Chinese and white women, but the Chinese population rarely impinges on the white community. MANCHESTER There are more than 200 cases of colored men with white wives in the port of Manchester and Salford. In addition, the authorities are faced with the problem presented by effect association between white women and colored men visiting the port temporarily. The children of these unions invariably have to be supported by the public assistance committee. "There are streets, particularly near the docks," said a police official, where half-caste children predominate. It happens that the homes of white women married to colored men in this area are invariably untidy and depressing. "While the husbands in some cases prove attentive, the wives are indifferent to their surroundings, and pay little attention to cleanliness." THE NEW L Newly Renovated throughout.

Now Listen—An elderly Negro woman died recently, when a local Negro Undertaker was suggested relatives ejaculated, "I'm not studding about any Nig—Undertaker." (The body needless to say went to the white Undertakers) "Lord, you can turn water to wine, remove mountains walk on water. But I ask you one thing. I know you can't do it but I ask anyhow, 'get these Negroes Together'!" OPEN LETTER There are many of our race in the South, living in a condition akin to slavery who would not leave if they could, having allowed themselves to be so crushed in spirit until they fit in the scheme of things perfectly. But there are a greater number who are there because they cannot go else where. Many have accumulated property and have been hoping for a better day. Our problem in California is for the most part an economic one. We have discriminations here to contend with, but these are not a drop in the bucket compared with what many of our people, yes, many of our kin have to contend with in the South, and this is where our obligation to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People comes in. Lodges and churches are well in their way; we need them but we out here, in some sections particularly, we are too prone to tell that since we've reached the promised land. "why worry?" Nine tenths of us in California are from the South we left, as a result of a desire to get out of that "hell on earth" and to wrap ourselves up in obligations out here is all right so long as we do not become so drowned in them as to cause us to forget a bigger obligation, and at the present time that bigger obligation is to our blood brothers and sisters in the South. As individuals we cannot do much, but by pooling our strength in the N. A. A. C. P. we can do wonders. Send your open letters and news to Carl Echols 559 Westgate. Wakefield 4271.

Unless Southern California asserts itself in the forthcoming primary election, it is liable to be denied just reapportionment by the State Legislature in 1931, political observers predicted here today. Should the legislature fail to reapportion at the coming session based upon the federal census of this year, it becomes the duty of a commission to do so. It is this commission that presents a serious problem to the South, as it will consist of a Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State Surveyor General and Superintendent of Public instruction. With the majority of Southern men on the commission, the South would be assured of justice in reapportionment. With a Southern Governor, that territory lying below the Teachahop would be fortified against any attempt at discrimination in reapportionment. For the past 28 years there has been but one Governor from Southern California and only once in 25 years has there been a United States Senator from Southern California. It is up to the South to correct this inequality for this year, the South has a preponderance of votes. Political observers point out that if the voters of Southern California will realize that the disproportionate representation they now have is costing the South thousands of dollars each year, Southern California will turn out en masse on election day and vote Southern men into state offices. The South has the power to secure justice for Southern California and it will be an offense against their homes if voters in this District fail to accomplish their purpose by neglecting to vote on August 26th.

In 1928 it was assessed at $1.503, but under Governor Young the assessment of this little company was boosted to $5.056. Another case, The Barnsall D Oil Co., was assessed at $3.078 in 1928, but was assessed at $13.877 in 1929. The Italo Oil Co., was charged with $3.600 in 1928 and in 1929 this was boosted to $7.174. And yet the seven big companies got oc with $25.00 each. Thus the big companies had their taxes reduced to almost nothing, while the small companies had their easements increased. A family living in San Francisco, R. Barnsall or San Diego with a vve room generally pays about $80 taxes. This is more than the Standard Oil, Richheld and Union Oil combined, paid the State under Governor Young. Surely the big companies could have nothing but the most kindly feeling toward the candidacy of Governor C. C. Young. This gubernatorial contest will develop into an issue of whether we are going to continue with a Governor or who caters to giant corporations, or whether we shall unseat him an in his place elect a man who seems to have some consideration of the rank and lie—just play folks who would appreciate a little consideration when it comes to taxes in California. Page----Six Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church- Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor; The Sunday school had a large attendance and at the 11 o'clock service a splendid congregation greeted the Pastor to listen to a very inspiring sermon preached from the subject, "The Way of the Righteous vs. the Way or the Ungodly."

Eastside Fitts For Governor Committee is putting the campaign over with a bang. Sunday the ladies committee is sponsoring a pink and green tea given at the Community Art Center 1449 East Washington. If you have not received an invitation let us know or come right on. We tried to think of every one. A very interesting programme will be rendered. * * * Attorney Charles F. Reiche is sure to give Judge Hartley Shaw a run for his life. Nearly every other car you pass is bearing a Reiche label. More power to you Mr. Reiche. May you have an overwhelming victory. Every time I contact a certain campaign manager for a very fine judge who is running for re-election. I am forced to stop and remember that the candidate has no knowledge of the treatment accorded some business representatives of our groupe however I are reminded that, that same manager evidently has some political aspirations. He may run for dog catcher or some such office in the future and he might need the friendship of more than the few friends and followers he has at this time. Guess who. Rev. Green had a very successful open air meeting in Central Gardens last Monday evening. The object of these meetings is to allow the people to hear each candidate who is running for office in this campaign, Mr. Green had as principal speakers a representative for Mr. John R. Quinn, Mr. Scoby who is running for te assembly of that district, the author of this column represented Mr. Buron Fitts for Governor and Mr. Bass our editof spoke for Mr. Traeger for Sheriff. Although the crowd was very small every person seemed to be quite enthusiastic and we believe that our messages for our candidate went over big. - Looming on the political horizon we see danger ahead if certain prominent race leaders keep trying to inject politics in their religious services. Strange isn't it my friends what pull some politicians have. The pastor of a certain church refused to allow a mass meeting for a certain candidate in his church. Switches right around and introduces a certain popular candidate from his pulpit on Sunday. Would you call that strategy or politics? Please tell me which or shall we call it political strategy? Please remember you might fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time. I am wondering why Mr. Cole Salling Chief Kelly's publicity manager has waited and is still waiting to place Mr. Kelly's publicity with the Eagle. Personally the author of this column has been favorably impressed with Mr. Kelly having known of him when he was a policeman in St. Joseph, Mo. His record was clean, but I am not so favorably impressed with his publicity manager, and am reminded of his activities in the past against our group. I am wondering if I can conscienciously support Mr. Kelly knowing as I do that birds of a feather flock together and I am not so sure of Mr. Kelly's attitude toward our group at this time. Judge Walter B. Thompson is running strong in the campaign at this time. He has formed a speakers committee and has twelve able speakers who have volunteered their services. Judge Haas is seeking promotion to Office No. 8 as was stated in the evening Herald Tuesday evening 'by one of the incumbents supporters. We do not contradict that. We claim Judge Haas' merits promotion on his past record as Municipal Judge. His experience and education qualifies him most eminently to fill the office for which he aspires. Judge Carl M. Sheldon is a scholar and a gentleman. He is a self man and will serve the people if elected to the bench with justice tempered with mercy. Juang Daily Stafford is an out standing candidate and merits your kind consideration. He will truly take a definite stand when it comes to trying a case where a group's rights as citizens is at stake and will not transfer the case to another court or in the vorticular of the street, may I say. He will not pass the buck. Judge Hazlett is in the race for re-election and we want to call your attention to the fact that he is the incumbent Judge for Office No. 10. * * * Senator Charles W. Lyon has been very busy launching his campaign and will be at home to contact his friends in this section next week. --- If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened MARY BROWN Mr. Traeger is launching his campa- paign and has established headquarters in the Dunbar Hotel building at Apex Music Shop. Senator J. W. McKinley is announcing the endorsement of some very influential citizens and seems confident of re-election at the primaries August 26th. Assemblyman Clair Woolwine has received the unanimous endorsement of the Republican Study Club Unit of which Mrs. Bacon is president. Our Candidate for Superior Bench Office No. 4 spoke to a large audience, Tuesday in Long Beach under the auspices of the Women's City Club of Long Beach. William (Bill) Treager For Sheriff A record unsurpassed is the universal acclaim for William Traeger who is a candidate to succeed himself in the office for Sheriff of Los Angeles County. All classes of our citizenship are among his strong and enthusiastic supporters. M. He comes before the people on his record of accomplishments and all of his friends are sure of his triumphant nomination and election. Ray L. Riley Campaign Headquarters 1031 ASSOCIATED REALTY BLDG. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 1930 That Ray L. Riley, present State Controller and candidate for re-election will have the endorsement and support of civic leaders throughout the state is evidenced in the announcement that Ex-Chief Justice Louis W. Myers of the Supreme Court of California has accepted the Chairmanship of Mr. Riley's campaign for Southern California. "More than ever," stated Ex-Chief Justice Myers, "is it necessary to have in the office of Controller a man whose past record is flawless and whose experience, ability and integrity are unquestioned. Such a man is Ray L. Riley, who, during the past nine years has to my knowledge clearly demonstrated his qualifications for the office which he how holds, and in accepting the Chairmanship of Mr. Riley's campaign, feel that I am doing no more than my duty as a citizen to protect and maintain the interests CHARLES F. REICHE 1 Mr. Relche is waging a vigorous campaign. He is discussing the subject of "Judges and Their Qualifications" in his program talks before various organizations. He is impressing upon the voters the importance of checking into the records of incumbent judges and candidates and ascertaining their qualifications. He is particularly urging the voters to ascertain the candidate's qualifications from the standpoint of his social, moral and economic views. He points out that this is of utmost importance as many decisions are made because of particular views held by a judge. Relche contends that no one should be a judge unless he holds proper social, moral and economic concepts and can interpret the law and apply it to the best interests of the social order. Among those recently addressed on this subject are the Woman's City Club, Los Angeles City Club and the United Church Brotherhood of Compton. Oda Faulconer is Blazing the Trail Mary California is one of the few states in which the judge of the Superior complete authority over the disposition of the children. This law can work much havoc if unwisely used. And it is one of the big reasons why Mrs. Faulconer consented to become a candidate. The welfare of children touches her deeply. She is sympathetic, truly, but she knows that every case has two sides. Seldom is an action ever brought into court that isn't tinged with feeling. People who aren't angry—who don't feel wronged rarely resort to the courts, and a wise judge needs to understand emotion for emotion will most certainly be displayed. A woman who has experienced much in her own life, who knows true feeling from false is best equipped to evaluate the emotions that are publicly exhibited. So long as women must stand shoulder to shoulder with men in the task of protecting their children, their homes and the commonwealth, it is only a matter of fairness and sound common sense that women should also serve both as lawmakers and judges. So because of her experience, her enviable record and wide sphere of influence, Mrs. Faulconer has been asked to blaze the trail. of the citizens of the state." Officez have been opened at Suite 1031 Associated Realty Building in Los Angeles. Senator Couzens to Address National Negro Business League New York City, July 23—(A.N.P.)—Senator James Couzens of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, will address the Thirty-first annual session of the National Negro Business League, which meets in Detroit, August 20, 21, and 22. Senaar Couzens will speak on Wednesday evening, August 20th, following the annual address by the League's president, Dr. R. R. Moton. In his letter of acceptance, Senator Couzens stated that he will be glad to come provided, of course, that the Senate had disposed of the London Naval Treaty by that time. Judge Daily S. Stafford Candidate for Superior Court Office No.9 — Judge Stafford is well qualified to fill the position for which he aspires. He served as Judge for Covena for one term. Justice of the Peace of Covena Township three and one half years, resigning to enter U. S. Army. He has been Judge of the Municipal Court for four years and has served as Judge of the Superior Court by direction of the Judicial Council. Organized the Law and Motion Division of the Municipal Court and was the first Judge to preside in it continuously for nine months. Judge Stafford served with the 8th Intantry in France for one year. Senator J. W. McKinley Incumbent, Seeks Re-Election 1930 Senator J. W. McKinley, candidate for re-election to the state senate, has received the endorsement of Clay Carpenter, Long Beach attorney who is well known both in Long Beach and Los Angeles as a civic leader. In his endorsement Mr. Carpenter says: "With only one senator to be elected from Los Angeles county, it is imperative to make a wise choice. Senator McKinley has already proved his ability in the senate. He led the fight that would prohibit the levying of special assessments of more than fifty per cent of the total valuation of property. It is vitally necessary to return him so that he may complete this piece or legislation, almost the most important in the state. Senator McKinley also presented the final, and flawless, bill which provided the appropriations for, establishing U. C. L. A. at Westwood, and the university is a consummated fact as a result of his efficiency. "He has been the sound, unwaver- l champion of civic righteousness "JUDGE FLAYS BATTLING WIDOW" When the case of the People-vs-Wezontwervch was called in Judge McCoy's Court last Monday the spectators were given a few hearty laughs. F1FTY—ONE-M.W. Judge McCoy in answer to Mr. Clark, defending Mrs. Emma Wezontwervch in her unjustified attact upon Attorney Lewis K. Beeks: when Mr. Clark stated that his client had a little grudge against Mr. Beeks, was not slow in stating that he hoped the defendant would not get a little grudge against him; again when Mr. Clark sought to defend his client, by saying that she had a wonderful record as a cook, the Judge asserted that she had a wonderful battery record as well. Needless to say that the foregoing paragraph is just an outline of the regretful and unjust circumstances that has surrounded Attorney Beeks for his loyal defense of a woman who is laboring under the complex that everybody is down on her. The evidence on record shows that in the beginning the oefendant was in fault; for instance the little pen knife, which she states, that she so bravely tried to defend herself against the Motor Buss conductor was in reality a six inch knife, and the evidence further shows that the conductor was not cut, not in one but several places. We as a race want to protect our women, but when a woman such as this defendant, shows that she has no gratitude, to a member of the legal staff of the N. A. A. C. P. tries to protect her, we do not feel it just to sacrifice the reputation of a man of Attorney Beeks' standing to satisfy the hallucinations of a woman who imagines that she has been unjustly treated. When interviewed at his office about an article contained in one of the papers with reference to the case Attorney Beeks replied. "My office has been so busy trying to get relief for my large number of appreciative clients preparing to file at least ten new cases one of which involves an estate of over $50,000.00 that I have not had an opportunity to give any attention or time to that splendid little Newsie or the article contained therein." Mr. Beeks did not prosecute Mrs. Wezontwerch because, even after she so unjustly treated him, he had that much respect for her as a woman of his race. However, as regretful as the whole situation has been, we are confident in saying, that Mr. Beeks has not built his reputation upon the shifting sands of public opinion, but upon the real unshakable foundation of service to his people. ED. W. HOPKINS FOR ASSESSOR ED. W. HOPKINS FOR ASSESSOR HEADQUARTERS AT THE ROSSLYN HOTEL M. B. "No other office in the country has had more painstaking care devoted to its duties than has this office of County Assessor as conducted by Ed W. Hopkins." Another group's expert tax counsel more succinctly says of his investigations, "There is nothing wrong in the Los Angeles County Assessor's office." It would be a shame and probably cost Los Angeles County Millions of Dollars to "Trade Horses" in that position during these critical times. "There should be no question about the re-election of Ed W. Hopkins as County Assessor. People who know the facts will vote for him." In these times of political upheavals and fights for the plums of office, it is a pleasant obligation of the voters to recognize one who has fully earned the right to continue on the even tenor of his way in the office which he has made noteworthy for faithful service and never-failing courtesy. and public morals, and both in personal character and voting record he truly represents the highest and best interests of the county." VOTE FOR JENNINGS VOTE FOR JENNINGS Vote for Eugene C. Jennings candidate for Superior Court Office No. 4. Mr. Jennings merits your support. He is a clean, capable gentleman. We need just such a person to represent our group on the judiciary. PETER H. Remarks from a prominent citizen— Atty.

FEWER COURT DELAYS AND PROMPT TRIALS AN- NOUNCED AS HIS P. ATFORM Standing on a platform for fewer court delays and prompt trials, Roy H. Smith, well-known attorney with offices in the Stock Exchange building, has opened a country-wide fight for judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 6. Smith is opposing Judge E. T. Bishop. Since he opened his campaign, Smith has won the endorsement of many prominent attorneys, the United War Veterans of the Republic. The Forresters, Odd Fellows and other fraternal organizations. HORIZON Charles W. Lyons Solicits Your Vote for State Senator from Dist. 38, August 26 COLUMBIA 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 Law, 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. TALLANT TUBBS This week awake and progressive statesman is making a winning race for Lieutenant Governor.

Supervisor Shaw has lived up to the promise which he made the people of Los Angeles when he was seeking the place which he now holds. He said if I am elected I promise I will be the Supervisor for all the people and this happened in this case to include all. In making this appointment no one need tell the people they waited on him to make this or any other appointment, (for he has been instrumental in making several) he has but lived up to his word in all of its ruliness when he sought the place and asked the suffrage of all peoples to secure it.

Surprising indeed will it be when we announce the fact we have received a very splendid reaction from employers throughout the city and even from outside of this balliwick.

A little learning may be dangerous, but none is more so. Every time we get on our ear somebody steps in our face. It is strange, but when a man sows his wild oats he just raises cain. Happiness is that indifference to happiness that is the reward of being busy. Many a man keeps his nose to the grindstone so he can turn it up at the bill collectors. That's why pipes are better than cigarettes. They go out so often you don't get much smoke. Word comes from Oklahoma that twenty-one citizens of Eric, Oklahoma, including an under sheriff, are charged with violating constitutional rights in connection with an alleged attempt to drive Negroes from their homes situated in that vicinity. The arraignment was made before a United States commissioner. Bonds for the accused were set at $2000 each. It is a splendid sign for betterment even though the indicted may not be punished. It shows, at least, that there has been an awakening that, soon or late, will ripen to fulfillment. Once the public conscience is aroused, and quickened, to the fact that such acts tend to place a blot on the community involved, a surcease from the activities of the irresponsible elements can be looked for. It is a good sign when the better class of citizens take such matters in their hands. It will outlaw lawlessness and create a respect for constituted authority. Let us hope that the arraignment will not prove a mere gesture but that the sincerity of the fact will be manifest in the proper punishment of the offenders if found guilty. Word comes from the State of Washington, that a gang of men, unemployed whites, said to be denizens of the "jungle camps" near Yakima, have been terrorizing that vicinity. Several of the ranchers have suffered at their hands. Crops have been destroyed and other devastations credited to their vandalism. The entire tomato crop of one ranchman was ruined by being picked without regard to their maturity. Green as well as ripe tomatoes being picked promiscuously and destroyed. It was first thought to be due to Filipino labor, but all such labor has left that vicinity under threat of violence. The question of economics appears to hold coequally with national prohibition. Soviet Russia seems to have thrown a scare into the industrial marts of the United States through the active buying and selling in American market. Some of the big corporations of industry, if accounts are authentic, have buried their sense of national patriotism when it comes to buying Russian imports at a lower figure than can be obtained in America. It is claimed that the Bettlehem Steel has been making heavy purchases from the Russians because it is possible to obtain maganese a much cheaper price than can be had in the United States. The Soviets have been able to supply the market with manganese at $26 the ton against $34 the ton in the United States. And that after paying a water freight of $14 the ton. Manganese mines in the United States have shut down and thousands of men thrown out of employment because of the competition. It is claimed that the Soviet government has planned a three year spending programme when thirty or more billion dollars will be expanded. Patriotism ceases when the pockets of big interest is involved. William Patterson, Lawyer, former San Francisco boy, is now one of the active members of the Soviet. He is living in Moscow and said to be one of the influential participants on the affairs of the regime. Patterson, even during his school days, was inclined to Socialism, and was looked upon as radical in his views. He had the good sense to migrate to the clime where his activities would be appreciated and his socialistic tendencies of use. He had considerable more sense than those who seek to propagandize in a government where such theories are taboo. Whatever our difference of opinion, his pluck is to be admired. He chose to cast his lot with those who shared his ideals, and ideas of a perfect government. This is San Francisco's voting registration to date. Republican, 182,822; Democrat, 38,582; Socialist, 904; Prohibition, 83; Union Labor, 3; of these, 9,391 declined to state and 97,620 were women. The entire registration for the State is supposed to approximate over 2,000,000 and will bring the registration up to the record. The heavy registration is barometer of the interest shown in the contests. There are many other issues of interest aside from the contest for governor that are of moment to the voter. Many of the congressional contests will be close, and judgships as well as the state legislative aspirants are receiving attention. The coming month, August will see the contests in full swing, and as the late Bill Jordan, of prize ring announcing fame, used to say, "May the best man win." It is amusing how seriously some of us Colored folk take their poli- SPECIAL ARTICLES tics. We become inoculated with the virus until it becomes a personal obsession and we become at outs with our friends for the simple reason that they can not coincide with our views. The Scribbler met a lady of his acquaintance with whom he had always supposed himself on friendly terms. She accosted him and began an immediate eulogy on one of the candidates for the office of governor. She extolled his virtues, of which we were not aware, and we have lived in the same community for the past quarter century; and lauded his attributes, of which we had a passing acquaintance. Listening quietly, as a gentleman should, she felt, no doubt, that she had made a convert voter and handed out a card. We looked at it and could no help the expression which escaped us. "Balogna Bloey." We met again and just as we were in the act of raising our chapeau in greeting, she gave us the fish stare and looked the other way. Like many, she no doubt expects to be made the prime minister if her candidate is elected. The claim that a candidate for state office should be elected because of his residence in a particular section of the State is in poor taste and savors of sectionalism. There is in office today a man who knows nothing but California. With him, there is no East, West, North nor South. His aim during the past has been for the interest of all. Sectionalism is in as poor taste as the veiled assertion that the chief executive of a Great State is connected, in any form, with a secret order which a certain group of voting citizens hold as obnoxious. Accusations of that sort are not helpful to the accuser, nor to those whom the accusation is supposed to benefit. It will be well not to allow our political zeal to warp our judgment. * * * * * * * * * It is a pleasure to the writer to note that Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts is up for re-election. We feel sure of his success. We also will miss our daily visits and chats in the legislative chamber. Roberts is one of the most highly thought of members of the California legislature, and his opinion on matters of legislation are sought frequently. His unassuming manner has won for him numerous friends, and we have many aspirants for re-election who have hopes of greeting him when he returns to Sacramento to renew his duties as a law maker for the State. There are numerous users of water who are anxious to know why their bills have INCREASED 25 PER CENT DURING THE TWO MONTHS PAST, UNDER MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP? If the increase in water is a forerunner of what Municipal Ownership of Utilities portend, it is time for the tax-payers and property owners to investigate the feasibility of further purchase. The slogan during the Spring Valley purchase campaign was, "Vote for Municipal Ownership and Get Lower Water Rates." Municipal ownership of public utilities in San Francisco has proved the "BUNK." The Gordian Knot of red tape has been severed by the joint Hoover-&Young committee, and the bridge across the San Francisco Bay is assured. The proposed site, from Rincon Hill, San Francisco, to Goat Island; thence to the East bay cities via Oakland Mole. That route, the choice of the commission, finds favor with all of the civic bodies of the municipalities interested. The structure as planned will be built to meet the requirements for traffic in years to come. Six lanes for speedways; four for heavy hauling; two, for interurban cars and two for pedestrians. It is expected that building will commence in the near future to be finished in the space of from three and half to four years. Legislative enactment provides for the building of the structure without taxation. It is to be done through the issuing of bonds. The bonds will be redeemed with bridge earnings and when the last bonds are redeemed the bridge will become the sole property of the State, and part of the state highway system. Free to the users. Letters to Ye Editor Los Angeles, Calif., July 24, 1930 Editor California Eagle. Los Angeles, California. Dear Sir: As a reader of the Eagle, I desire to make an expression of appreciation for your epoch making efforts toward constructive journalism — something of vital necessity to the Negro. I am inclined to heartily approve of certain expressions emanating from Mrs. Bass to the effect that Negroes should not lose their balance in the hands of political campaigns. Intelligence and common sense should be applied as safety bureaus. It is well for Negroes to remember that economic progress is as important as political advancement, and since the Negro as a whole is essentially a working-class group, jobs are necessary for us to live. This is an unfortunate situation, but since it is the situation, we must not lose sight of our economic fight in the din and weiter of political campaigns At best professional politicians are evils, though perhaps necessary ones under our present system of society. They may come and go, but the common man must still eat, pay rent, buy-clothes, etc. While we must exercise care in the use of the franchise, since a race or group may, themselves into slavery as easily as into freedom we must, nevertheless, increase our agitation for jobs. More power to you in the fight. JOHN H. OWENS, 1108 l% East 20th Street. Santa Monica, Calif., July 27, 1930. Dear Mrs. Bass: Greetings in behalf of the members of the Five and Over Charity club. I thank you for your donation of $2.00 toward our picnic. We were able to take sixty children to the beach and they had a wonderful time. We extend to you an invitation to attend our meetings which are held the fourth Sunday in each month. 1259 West 36th Place from 6 to 8 p. m. Again I thank you. Sincerely, MRS. EDNA BROYLES, Pres. OPEN LETTER Are we going to allow what General Smutts said to be true? Let us ask ourselves as Christians, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The N. A. A. C. P. defeat of Judge Parker cannot be measured in dollars and cents. The home office in New York needs money to pay the cost of that fight. It takes money more than ever to combat segregation cases it has on bond. (one in Los Angeles). There are a half dozen Negroes and two white persons in the South (friends of Negroes), who have the hangman's noose hanging over their heads for attempting to lift their fellows out of the mire. Are we as Negroes, going to stand by idly, read of them, or help them? If a friend, do not belong to the N. A. C. P. join at once. When we are lynched in Texas, South Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma, we are morally lynched in California. We will never receive a full measure of justice here or anywhere, else so long as our brothers in the south are half slaves. Join the National Association for the Enforcement of Colored People. Help it be strengthened to help those who cannot help themselves. FRANK BRAWLEY, 100 Yale St., Pasadena, Calif. Editorial of The Week White Press (The Marion (Ind.) Leader-Tribune) A SPLENDID RECORD The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been holding a remarkable convention in the east. With a large attendance, and much enthusiasm the Marion delegates report an outstanding meeting. The organization has done much to advance the welfare of the colored race. It has asked only for justice and fairness, and we have seen evidence of their efforts on every hand. The colored people have succeeded admirably in many fields, including art and culture, and we have every reason to be proud of their attainments. Much of this success is due to the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored race, and we congratulate the organization on its program. The Marion branch of the association is very strong, and has taken a prominent part in all the state and national deliberations. Friday, August 1, 1930 ANNIVERSARY WEEK HUGE SUCCESS GOV. C. C. YOUNG PRAISES GOLDEN STATE The Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company celebrated its fifth anniversary last week. In addition to the Home Office being given over to celebration activities, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Riverside, Redlands, San Diego and all districts throughout the state joined hands. HOME OFFICE KEEPS OPEN HOUSE The Golden State Insurance Company, through three-minute speakers appearing at various churches in the city, extended to the public a cordial invitation to visit its Home Office building and inspect its premises. As a result, several hundred persons look advantage of the opportunity, and many of them whose only intention originally was just to visit and partake of the refreshments, were so favorably impressed and so astounded with what they saw that they immediately sought one of the several agents on duty with a view to how the Golden State could serve their insurance needs. Many policyholders were so agreeably surprised that they increased their insurance. This was true of the Home Office district, but favorable reports along similar lines were made from districts all over the state. As a result, a considerable increase in business marked the celebration of the fifth anniversary of this fast growing Company. Among the prominent visitors to the Home Office was Governor C. C. Young who was loud in his praise of the Company and its progress. The Governor stated that the people of this community have reason to be proud of a Company that stands to department, and renders such valuable service to the colored people of California. The Governor was accompanied by Assemblyman Fred Roberts of the 62nd District and Dr. H. Claude Hudson, president of the N. A. A. C. P. Among the prominent visitors from out-of-town were Dr. R. A. Henderson of Dallas, Texas; Dr. Warren of Tyler, Texas; and Prof. and Mrs. N. A. Henderson of Houston, Texas. Among the persons who attended were the Los Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. H. A. Reeves and many churches and numerous individuals. RIVERSIDE—SAN BERNARDINO Vice President-Director of Agencies, Geo. A. Beavers, Jr, paid a personal visit to Riverside and San Bernardino, and an inelible impression of the Company's progress. Both meetings were in charge of W. L. Johnson, Special Representative in that district, and were well attended. SAN DIEGO Mr. Edgar Johnson, Superintendent of the Life Department, Home Office District, represented the Home Office in San Diego where he addressed an enthusiastic audience, and as a result, U. S. Griggs, District Superintendent of San Diego District, reported wonderful results. FRESNO In the San Joaquin Valley District, Fresno was the seat of celebration activities under the auspices of District Superintendent E. P. Greene who also reports wonderful progress and great enthusiasm in addition to the listing of a considerable number of new prospects. A special write-up appeared in the Fresno Bee, Fresno's leading daily. OAKLAND AND SAN FRANCISCO In Oakland and San Francisco, Mr. B. N. Hunigan and Mrs. I. Haskell who occupy the positions of District Superintendent and Assistant District Superintendent respectively, gave glowing accounts or results of the Company's Anniversary Celebration in that District. Never before in the local history of Golden State activities has the Company received so much praise, and the agency staff so much encouragement as was received during Anniversary week.

July 23—A.N.P.—The Publishing House and Official Headquarters of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church will soon be moved to St. Louis. Missouri, in accordance with the action of the Publishing House Commission, which met here last week pursuant to the call of the president of the Commission, Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett. Kansas City, Kansas, presiding bishop of the Eighth Episcopal District of the C. M. E. Church. Propositions were submitted by cities interested in having the Publishing House and Headquarters of the denomination. Jackson, Tennessee, where the Publishing House is now situated and has been for nearly fifty years; Nashville, Tenn., one of the largest publishing centers of America; Louisville, Ky., seat of the last General Conference and the home of the first bishop of the denomination and Saint Louis, Missouri, were among those which submitted strong inducements for the Publishing House and General Headquarters. In most instances, the Boards or Chambers of Commerce of these cities were represented either by a written bid or by a commission from the city being present to present the matter in person on behalf of the interested city. Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church 94th and Zamora Street Another great and blessed day a this church. The children of the Sun day School unner Superintendent Bateman were on hand bright and early.

Better Homes Stressed at Women's Meeting Hot Springs, Ark., July 24.—(ANP) While "association business" came in for discussion, better homes and better environment for the children held the spot-light at the various sessions of the biennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women, which held sway here last week. The convention was attended by about three hundred women, representing 35 states, and was presided over by Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, the president. The roster of those present include many who are working for the advancement of Negro womanhood. In her annual address, Mrs. Stewart reviewed her recent trip to Europe as did the other eight women who accompanied her on the trip, but she also dwelt at length upon the necessity of improving home-life and the environment in which children are being reared. A model home was opened daily for inspection and throughout every day was the center of attraction, not only to the women attending the convention but to the hundreds of visitors. Under the direction of Forrester B. Washington the need of a social service program was emphasized which too would help to improve homelife and the home. Albion L. Holsey, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, and the National Negro Business League, was another guest speaker at the convention and urged the members of the organization to work for the development of large and small business enterprises. He pointed to the accomplishments several women of the group had attained in the business world and to the enviable place held by others in commercial pursuits. Among those attending the convention were: Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, Miss Hallei Q. Brown, Mrs. Mary McLoed Bethune, founder and president of the Bethune-Cookman College, Datona Beach, Fla., Mrs. Nettie L. Napier, Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. W. S. Brooks, of California, Msre Myrtle Foster Cook, Miss Julia D. Connor, assistant director of the Better Homes of America Association, and Mrs. Lake and Mrs. Mary Ray, better home demonstrations of Arkansas. Prof. John A. Gray presents his pupil. Mrs. Robert V. Edwards-Scott, pianist, in recital. Tuesday evening, July 29 at Phillips Temple. 42nd and Wadsworth. Admission 35 cents. MRS. JANIE ALLEN LYONS, Proprietor- Manager Rates 75 cents; $1.00; $1.50 Per Day 1123 Central Avenue Los Angeles, Calif. New Orleans, La., July 23—A.N.P. The 23rd Anniversary of the Unity Industrial Life Insurance Company was celebrated Sunday at Central Congregation Church, Liberty and Cleveland Streets, Rev. N. A. Holmes and P. J. E. Dejoie were the principal speakers of the occasion. Speaking of the achievements of the organization, Dejoie told of the founding of the company twenty-three years ago by Dr. P. H. V. Dejoie, W. E. Robinson, and George D. Geddes. "Today," he said, "it is the largest industrial life insurance company owned and operated by colored people in this section of the South. The company has branch offices in a number of towns throughout the state and gives employment to more than 300 people." New York City, July 23 A.N.P. When the members of the St. Paul Baptist Church went to their newly acquired Church building Sunday, they found that two federal agents had padlocked the place because the former tenant had been caught selling beer in it. The building was formerly used as a store by one, Charles Ryan. He was caught selling beer, and although the owner of the building had notified government agents that he was leasing the building to the church, and that the members had spent much money fitting it out in a suitable manner. Saturday evening the padlock was placed on the door. The church was to have been dedicated Sunday but only short informal exercises were held on the outside, the dedication being indefinitely postponed until federal authorities remove the padlock. Man Lives Five Months With Pierced Heart Ansonia, Conn., July 23—A.N.P.—The medical world has been somewhat concerned over the case of James Bryant, brass foundry worker. Five months ago Bryant was shot through the heart during a street brawl. He was taken to the hospital, and although he recovered and returned to work, he died of heart failure. Bryant, who is of gigantic stature, is said to have lithed his assailant over his head and dashed to the ground. He then walked three blocks before collapsing. The other man was given a prison sentence for disturbing the peace. New Orleans, La., July 23—A.N.P. The First Evangelical Baptist Church has filed suit in Civil District Court, asking an injunction to restrain the Rev. O. B. Quinn from acting as pastor of the church. The church also asked that the Rev. Quinn be ordered to turn over to the church property alleged to be now in his possession. The church's petition stated that last week at a meeting of the congregation it was voted to dismiss the Rev. Quinn as pastor of the church. Rev. Quinn refused dismissal, according to the petition. Suit for a similar injunction was filed by the church—some weeks ago, but the case was later dropped. S. C. White Women Opposed to Lynching Charleston, S. C., July 23—A.N.P. —The efforts of Senator Cole. L. Please to secure the support of the voters by endorsing lynching were repudiated in a statement issued by Mrs. C. P. McGowan, chairman of the state interracial committee. "In view of the recent happenings in South Carolina," said Mrs. McGowan, it is important to make the following statement: "No one can speak for all the women of any section, but these are the facts. "Hundreds of thousands of white women of the South feel that the law as represented by sheriffs, judges and juries, is their honorable and reliable protection and avengers. "Through church affiliation with the great religious organizations and the membership of these organizations in the commission on race relations in the South, women have in every state passed resolutions repudiating the use of the name of the white women of the South as a cloak for mob violence. "They state that they stand for legal protection of all women and lawful execution of those convicted of crime, he it what it will. The women of the South are not afraid to stand by the Constitution of the United States." Senator Blease speaking recently at Union, where a lynching was staged a few weeks ago, reviewed his record as Governor of South Carolina and how he told the voters if a white woman was attacked by a Negro notify him the next morning after the lynching party. He declared that he endorsed lynching and that when the Constitution of the United States came between him and the protection of the virtue of white women in the South "to hell with the Constitution." Since the injection of the endorsement of lynching into the campaign several organizations and newspapers, as well as individuals have scored the Senator for his statements and his advocacy of mob law. WELL-KNOWN MAN KILLED BY SHOVEL Philadelphia, Pa., July 23—A.N.P. —Wade Hale, well-known local character, was seriously injured when a steam shovel toppled over, pinning him beneath it, at a construction operation on Marshall Road near 69th St., where he was employed. Other workmen fled to safety when the operator of the shovel blew a warning blast on his whistle. He then leaped clear. Hale had his skull and both legs fractured, and suffered internal injuries. He was taken to Delaware County Hospital, where he died. A wife and several small children survive. The Ushers of the First A. M. E.

An Appeal to Conscience We would be very pleased to have those persons who are receiving The California Eagle and who have not paid their subscriptions for this year, make a special effort to do so when the collector calls, and if she is unable to personally contact you, kindly mail or send in the amount due. Look up your last receipt and see if you have paid for the present year. Subscriptions are payable in advance, so it may be even if you have paid during this year it was for the past which your receipt will indicate. Also when approached by the collector, please do not become offender for it is purely a matter of business procedure, many concerns emply collectors so do not feel that you are being dunned, nor on the other hand you feel when you pay that you are bestowed a special favor when as a matter of fact you are simply paying an honest obligation. Most persons are kind and considerate, either pay when called upon or tell when we phone them when we may pay payment, some few, howeverpr find they do not want the paper when it comes time to pay for it or seem to take offense that we try to make collection. Play fair with your convenience and settle what you owe even if in small regular amounts. Thank you.—E. G. S. Mrs. W. H. Beeman and Mrs. Chas.

Who was so very, very fat; They couldn't walk, they couldn't run, The simply sat and sat. The longer they sat, the fatter they —grew. Until they wondered what they should do; "Let's end it all" the fat wife did cry No! No! said, hubby. "let's join the "Y" Now, they are thin. comfy and cool They lost their surplus fat in the great "Y" pool. Many "Y" boys signed up for camp with the rapid approach of the summer camp which will be held at Round Meadow, August 7th to 14th. A.M. are bringing in their deposits daily. They will leave for Camp at 5:30 A.M., August 7th for eight weeks for real out-door sport to eat, swim play, hike, study nature and learn of the Great Spirit. The Dormitory Men held their regular monthly breakfast meeting Sunday morning, at 8:30 A. M. in the dining salon of the "Y". Prof. Jack. Bromwell, formed at the key board while the dormburgers sang with a spirit that only he can hear. Mr. Dick Brown, former Dormburgers, Mr. artist returned to the building and among the most smiling members present. Mr. Lester B. Granger, new Urban League Secretary is a new resident of Dormburgh and exhibited a much enthusiasm for this, his first Dorm-Break. The new "Y" Quartet, under the able Prof. Jackson is making rapid strides up harmony lane. In view of the fact that Tuesday evening, July 15th was one of those very hot nights and that also many pupils and parents were compelled to stay at home on account of the fear of infantile paralysis, the spacious church of the St. Paul's Church was crowded over flowing with music lovers and friends of the Wilkins Piano Academy. Prof. Wm. T. Wilkins can justly feel proud of his achievements when under the above conditions and at eleven o'clock and after every one remained in his seat and called for encore after encore, until Prof. Wilkins had to ask Pastor Williams to dismiss the crowd. Highly esteemed of the program was the fine singing of the Matte Westerhelds Quartet and Melodious Hymns of 25 voices. The chorus really sang the Creation Hymn, an arrangement of the Rachmaninov Prelude. Miss Tomiwitaim Moore of Pasadena the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moore of Cypress Ave. is destined to become a celebrated dramatic reader. Baby Dolores Batalome. She loma Brewster pupil and Gloria Llamas. Lucile Banton Blaychettias both between 4 and 5 years of age should be marked talent and fine training. Although both Elia Wilkins and Ethel Bethel have been teaching but a short time, the pupils showered fine training. Gilbert Alley also little Katherine Davis a Milkensentt pupil and little Juanna Walker and Walter Miller. Wilkins' pupils were very fiery and stylish and had to respond to encores and could have taken several but time would not permit. In fact all the pupils played with fine style and finish. Elsie Long (white) collaborator of foremost companies, also with Charles Wakefield Cadminz was in the audience. She was introduced and spoke about music, its merits and the wonderful accomplishments of Prof. Wilkins and his pupils. Mena, Lena Ree spoke at length upon the achievement of Prof Wilkins and his pupils and about the educational and building fund drama that is being planned for him by Claire Hullert and others. This is said to be the best annual recital given by Prof. Wilkins and his assistant teachers. The only adult student presented this year was Mrs. T. R. Leblanc and was fine. T. Eugene Estes and F. Allen were masters at the big Steinway Concert Grand. Both were prepared to respond to encores at the end of the program. Mr. Wilkins spoke about 1000 free lessons he intends to give away also about the new class work and kindergarten he is starting. Strange as it seems Wilkins always' has a crowded house with admission charge when most all other student programs both white and colored are free, and in cases poorly attended. What is its personality, ability or that something different or is it all those combiners and something more? All we can say is more power to you Wilkins.

The fern-banked altar formed a fine back ground for the bridal party; the arch before which the contracting couple stood was prettily entwined with fern and daisies. The bride was very attractive in an ivory satin gown with a fitted bodice and train. Her tulle veil, artistically attached to hand made lace cap caught on each side with oranges blossoms hung gracefully over her blender form. She wore a strand of pearls, the gift of the bride-groom. The bride carried a boquet of choice roses. She was given away by her uncle, Henry Davis. Miss Mae Bolton looked charming in a pink organdy dress with hat and shoes to match.

Book Notes The average American citizen, according to Mr. R. L. D. Luffus, author of "Books," buys two books a year, borrows two from the public library, two more from a rental library and one from a friend, and so reads seven books a year. Mr. Duffus thinks it is not enough, so he sets out to find out how America reads and why we do not read more. It is a lamentable fact that the British and the Germans and the French and the Russians all read A membership drive for the Y. W. C. A. is now being conducted by the Committee of Management.

Now Mr. Duffus believes that there are millions of Americans who actually want books, good books, but who either do not know they want them or do not know how to use them. A few of us read many more than seven books a year, more of us read much less, and many millions, after their school days are over, read none at all. If you belong in either of the latter groups then you should visit your nearest branch library, the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch at 2330 Naomi Ave, or the Vernon Branch at 4504 So, Central Ave, and start reading today. These branches contain a wide selection of books to suit your every mood and need. Among them we note recent biography of "Mata Hari" written by Major Thomas Coulson.

As a matter of fact in the vernacular of the street: “We have beeh.‘all wet.” However, we might say we'were’ but expressing our personal opinion and carn that half heartedly, and we have no hesitancy in taking lgw, even though we appreciate the things ‘which the, Senator has accomplished for our group in the past. “DON’T TRADE WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK” | This slogan is going forth by leaps’ and bounds and ‘the members of our group are waking up all along the line to such an extent that the people are now looking up records of firms, | individuals and organizations to the end they can know best | the ones which are willing to be just and fair. = | We have already received assurances from many sources | along this line of effort that they are willing to do the right) thing and as a result we are hopeful. ? | «mrin tke meantime we are calling upon the people of this| commupity to rally to their colors and give a strong suppdrt to| the above slogan which will be helpful indeed in the solution of our own economic problem. | : | TT | STOOD ON THEIR DIGNITY |, | The sentiment against the injustice practisea by govern- ment officials at Washington in its treatment of the Gold Stat Mothers is sweeping throughout the civilized ‘world.

This fact is evidenced by the belly- aching which has been his ever since the final word was given —that he must go! . +As a matter of fact no one knew better than Mr. Nix that his hat has been ready fot tiany moons, He has simply over- stayed his time. Rev. Bob Shuler is only a smoke-screen for him to put on his act, which is an organized effort of all of the discontents as well as malcontents to discredit the Porter ad- ministration. ° ~ | The game, however, will fall of its own weight, because it’s the same old boogey man only dressed in a different suit of clothing. | | LEADERS IN NAME ONLY | There is a continuous obligation owed by every individual to the community and especially by those most favored hy for- tune. Enlightened self-interest should quicken acceptance of the obligation. There is hardly room for argument that what is good for the community, is broadly considered, good for the individual in his work. Conversely, what is good fer the indi. vidual in the best sense is good for every other man, woman and child in the community. Too tnuch must not be expected from politicians and Parties, too often approached from both sides on the basis of a horse trade. Governmental agents must be supplemented by the efforts of private persons who can envision things as they ought to be, and at long range. Politicians and officeholders, regardless of what they may say in their campaigns, are mostly concerned with getting into office and staying in. That is why they are in politics. They are in polities to get into office oc to have a hand in putting others in office, as other men and women are in business or professions to make monty or a career, or both. | But the politician and officeholder is usuafly wise enough| to know that that which is beneficial to the community or state | or nation will best react to his benefit. His motives for serving | the public may-be selfish but the service is no poorer for thet | No man can remain in public office or in political control who conzistently disregards the will and welfare of the voters. Public service is the foundation upon whichghe must build his political power. Failure to. give senteee service has| wrecked more political careers than anything else.

We had spent 24 days ‘in Haiti, days assiduguety cc voted to obtaining information pears ing upon the educational needs: of the Republic. I had sensed all along ythat a8 a representative of the Negro press of America the task would tometime be mine to expose for the Negro read. crs of America the “inside” of what has occurred in Haiti and tq express judgments. Steaming out fromthe Haitian capital, the realization bore in upon me that the zero hour for my big effort was approaching, What, I wondered, was I going to make out of it aj? I rested my elbow on the tail beside Dr. Johnson, a member of the commission. He, too, had. been stocked with information. What was he going to,make of it? What was he | going to. recommena to the President ofthe United States? He spoke: “Well, Prattis, it is difficult to deal strict justice out to people who have been good to you,” The statement was a question,_vol- unteered out of his mood, but it con- tained the identical idea which was at the bottom of most of the thinking T had been doing. T replied affirmatively to the query. knowing exactly what he meant. I feel that the same thought will come to all members of the come mission party as they assume the task of translating the knowledge. of Hai- ti which'has come to them intolrecoms mendations or opinions for the Ameri= can public, What Dr. Johnson had meant was this: The commission had studied the tis particularly the Haitians and the Americans, Much to admire and much to condemn had been found in each group. The commission had come not merely as an investigating body. butt is distinguished guests. Haitians and Amgricans had rendered every: possible ervice to facilitate the work of the commission and to make its stay in the island enjoyable. The time and money { many Haitians and Americans was siven copiously on behalf of the com- nission. The commission party had oarded the ship amid cheers ang lowers, from Haitians and Americans vow we were om our way away. We ensed that the Haitians were expect- ng us to do.something. however nebul- us. for them. We also knew that the - ‘hite Americans understood that we vere: black Americans and that we right be expected to have a -blood rotherhood feeling for the Haitians "e knew that they were hoping we ould not do anything when we reach- 1 home that would hurt them too uch.
