Young and Rolph TrailFitts
VOLUME 43
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored—Proverbs 13:18.
LIKE VALIANT soldiers who fight because they believe they are right, members of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club are on their last stretch. The home base is in sight and this small group of individuals who formed the nucleus of this organization believe as firmly to day as they did in the beginning, that they are right; and that not might, but right will win.
The Club has held political meetings all over the Eastside. These meetings have been conducted on a high plane. It has not presumed to know anything about the personal habits or social discrepancies of either of the candidates running for governor, hence it has not attempted character assassination but instead has tried in every honorable way to present the case of its candidate to the public in such fashion as to prove that he is the Abraham Lincoln of his day and time, and that his election to the high office of governor will save the California Ship of State from a terrific smash on the financial rock of disaster towards which it is apparently headed.
A small body of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club moved into Bakersfield last Monday evening and claimed a large strip of political territory for its candidate. On Wednesday evening the call came from San Bernardino asking the club to come over into Macedonia and help save the city for decency. The call was heard and a little caravan moved into San Bernardino and the little warm burg with Hamilton and Mabra at the bat will roll up a big majority vote on Tuesday, August 26 for BURON FITTS.
WHY THEY SUPPORT YOUNG
THE FEW outstanding leaders of our group who by some stretch of the imagination deem the present incumbent, Governor C. C. Young, the logical man to carry on at the head of our great State, are furnishing many and devious reasons for their selection. Some say that their only reason for deciding on the Governor instead of Buron Fitts, who is the one man in the public limelight in state politics who has shown a disposition to deal justly toward the Negro, is because they claim, a certain white individual was thrust upon them as their leader and they just couldn't follow, hence had to take Mr. Young whether or not!
Now to our mind this argument is nothing more nor less than an admission of their mental slavery. In order to support Mr. Young for governor, it was necessary for them to swallow Marshall Stimson, who is avowedly a Negro hater and his boon companion, Joseph Oberwise, chairman of the Young for Governor campaign of the Fifth District, who is none other than the individual who issued the injunction papers against the five families, namely: Reeves, Howard.Bass, Smith and Taylor, attempting to oust them from their homes in the West section of our city because they think that the location is too beautiful and high-class for Negroes.
Consistency thou art a jewel!
AMERICAN LEGION MAKES
HISTORY
ONE OF THE finest pieces of work that has been accomplished in the State of California was done this week at Sacramento at the American Legion annual convention when a resolution drafted by none other than our own Officer Coleman, who majestically presides over traffic at Ninth and Central, was offered and adopted condemning lynching and mob violence. The way we see it, it looks like the spirit of Buron Fitts is already guiding the Ship of State in California.
VOTE FOR MRS. BRAMLETTE
MRS. FANNY E. BRAMLETTE is a candidate for the County Central Committee of the 62nd District, and it is hoped that every woman will come forward and express their appreciation of the fact that this is woman's day by casting a vote for her August 26th.

TO THE NEGRO VOTERS OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA GREETINGS
After eighteen years of "glad handling" in the beautiful city by the Golden Gate, San Francisco; where he has been supposedly serving the people of the city as Mayor of all the people, now comes Mayor James Rolph with a burning desire to be, so he says, Governor of all the people of the state of California, there we are in this our number Two Bulletin pointing out to you just what it means to you if you are going to be a party to elevating one who has outlived his usefulness as Mayor of this city and now seeks to foist his political machine on the people of this state.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Mayor has under his control all departments of the city government, which includes his Civil Service Commission, which commission is and has been continuously in the courts because of alleged infractions, and violations of the charter, it is a well known fact that studiously as possible, the Negro citizens have been completely ignored, this in face of the fact that the honorable mayor has repeatedly said he desired to give all groups some part in the affairs of the city. This is further demonstrated with the knowledge that during these 18 years by reason of vacancies occurring on the Board of Supervisors, the mayor has had the appointing of not less than ten members to fill such vacancies and in making these appointments the mayor has seen fit to give what he called recognition to certain groups, consequently every nationality has been thus honored except the Negro. This holds true also as to the Mayor's other selections for other more or less important places in the city government.
IF NOT FITTS ---WHO?
Last call the big Berthas have been turned loose, for results we must wait until the votes are counted.
However, it is apparent Governor Young is on the run. It being generally conceded on all hands that he is the 3rd man in the race.
The race is between Fitts and Rolph with Buron having the edge. This is not just talk neither is it-guess work. It comes from a careful, scientific, state-wide poll conducted by experts.
For our group Rolph is the end of the trail. He never has and he never will take us seriously in the affairs of government. No better line on Mayor Rolph is needed than his 19-years as mayor of San Francisco.
There has been no reason advanced, why Fitts should not receive our support. In fact opponents have been so void of argument they appealed to prejudice, like old Ben Tilman of old—They hollowed Texan. Such bunk is only practiced by the weak and silly, like the hill billys of the South.
Negroes of today are intelligent and will fail to heed such silly prattle.
We are proud to predict an overwhelming vote from our group to Buron Fitts. They are on their way chock full of appreciation for the past and the brightest hope for the future.
Full of self respect, disdainning bought influence. They look over their shoulders and treasifully say—
"If Not Fitts—Who?
Hear Fitts at Jefferson High Monday Night
New York, Aug. 19—By A.N.P.—Captured and taken to the police station on a charge of robbery, Romillion Fernandez. 26, of 104 West 115th Street, attempted to shoot his way out of the police station, Thursday night, and after shooting two policemen, was himself killed on the spot by a wounded officer.
Fernandez had been seized with three others in attempting to rob the Mecca Sweet Shoppe. 1429 Ogden Avenue, the Bronx, and had been taken to the Highbridge Station.
While the police questioned Fernandez and took his pedigree, the bandit seized the revolver of a detective, Harry Bloomfield, and wheeled, firing one shot at Policeman Richard Elfers.
Bloomfield, seated at a typewriter, lunged forward at Fernandez, but was stopped with a bullet through his body as Elfers fell, he fired one shot which pierced Fernandez' heart and the robber grooved dead in his tracks.
Bloomfield is expected to die. The others held with Fernandez were Richard Diaz, 22, of 118 E. 111th St, Daxid Eissberg, 28, of 248 East 115th Street, and Ralph Breez, 22, of 68 E. 114th Street.
The three companions of Fernandez were not in the same room with him when the shooting occurred. They were being questioned by other officers in another part of the station."

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 18—Bessie Brown, 126 N. North Carolina Avenue who tried to commit suicide on the night of July 26th, by lying on the track in front of a Pennsylvania railroad train arriving in the resort at 1:05 A. M., and who was rescued just as the train bore down upon her, tried the same thing again early Tuesday morning.
She was discovered by a railroad watchman a few minutes before the train was due, and was arrested and held for investigation.
MIXED LOVE AFFAIR HAS TRAGIC END IN MISS.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 18-By A.N.P. —A love affair between George Robinson and a young married white woman whose name is being concealed came to a tragic ending here Thursday when Robinson was shot and killed by a deputy sheriff as he attempted to escape from the local jail, and a few hours later the woman was sentenced to serve sixteen months on the Hinds County Farm.
The affair had its beginning, according to reports, about two years ago, and the lovers held trysts at a house located in the Negro section of the town. Frequently the tall well-built Negro man was seen to enter the house followed a few minutes later by a slightly built, bobbed-haired and comely white matron.
Neighbors observed this and gossiped. Whites noticed it and wondered, and Wednesday afternoon, an offices

On last Sunday afternoon, Attornel and Mrs. Leon Whitaker entertained with an elaborate reception in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth St. Charles Edwards, recently elected President of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.
The spacious reception rooms were gay with brightly colored flowers and formed a beautiful setting for the hundreds of friends of the guests and their honoree who called throughout the afteridon.
As the guests arrived, they were greeted by Mrs. Daley Ball Collins and Mrs. Carney Clinton Stewart. Mrs. Stewart introduced each guest to the new President and to the other ladies who formed the receiving line. The ladies who stood with the honored guest were Mrs. C. B. A. Bun-

There is an old acage that "good things come to those who wait." That is part truth, but the whole of that truth is: "Good things come to those who qualify and wait.
Again has been proven true in the case of Prof. Claud V. Pitts, who for the past twenty-one years dwelt among us and who for the most of that time has been without father or mother, yet in spite of that handicap, Mr. Pitts has wended his way round by round up the ladder of success.
Just recently he was discovered by the renowned Dr. Hamilton Douglas, the celebrated teacher and promoter of dramatic are singing, dancing, etc. Dr. Douglas sang for four years in grand opera with the world famous, Enrico Caruso, and is the president of the International Artists' association. He is very jubilant over the fact that at last he has found in Prof. Pitts the man he has been looking for who is capable and worthy of a responsible position, so a few days ago Dr. Douglas got together his Board of Trustees consisting of Judge Haas and several other of the Superior Judges and the celebrated Dr. Stone, and in his absence and without his knowledge they elected Prof. Pitts, president of the colored International Artists' Association. Therefore we are congratulating Mr. Pitts on this highest honor that has been conferred upon him and

Denied Passage; Sues Air Line for $10,000 Seattle, Washington, Aug. 19-By A.N.P.-Claiming that he had been refused passage on a plane owned and operated by the West Coast Air Transport Company, R. S. Stewart, Night Club entertainer, has filed suit against the company for $10,000.
Stewart declared in his petition that on June 25th, he requested passage on a plane to Los Angeles in order to arrive for an important engagement, and when the officials learned that he was a Negro they refused to permit him to make the trip.

RESORT MASQUERAD- ER SENTENCED
By A.N.P.
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug., 19—William Moore from Nashville, Tenn., was arrested while masquerading in woman's clothes at Pacific and Tennessee Avenues.
He was attired in a light green costume, and Patrolman Christmas, thought he was escorting a woman to the city hall until he arrived at headquarters and removed the prisoner's hat.
(By The Negro Welfare League Of California)
In order that you may know the truth: about Governor Young, we address the following. If there are any of you within these counties, who have in mind of voting for the Governor, except his paid hirelings, we point out—
1—That Governor Young even before his election to his present high office has ever ben the apostle of racial discrimination, segregation and inequality, demonstrated by his attitude in the matter of the acquisition of certain properties in the city of Berkeley, his home town, by a Colored Masonic fraternity in 1923, and that his Alameda County political manager at this time, M. E. E. Nicholas was one of the leaders in opposition to our group at that time.
2-That when Ed. Glass, then a resident of Oakland had before the governor his appeal against extradition to Oklahoma, the eGovernor without due consideration allowed Glass to be extradited and as a result was allowed to be returned to Oklahoma, where Governor Young knew he would and could not receive a fair trial and Glass is now doing life sentence in that State.
3-Notwithstanding the fact that the Governor has appointed over three hundred women and men to his many commissions and boards, and in face of the fact that there are some excellently qualified citizens of our race in Alameda County, the Governor's home county, No single Negro has been recognized as meriting any consideration at his hands.
4—Mr. Frank C. Sykes, the Governor's San Francisco County manager, is the owner and manager of two skyscraper buildings in this city, employing therein scores of elevator operators and janitors. Some time ago Mr. Sykes is also a member of the Board of Harbor Comissioners and an official of Chadwick and Sykes, Engineers, employers of much labor throughout northern California and in no capacity has any Negro ever been employed.
The Negroes of the State have now an opportunity of bringing to the governorship of California a man of real outstanding ability, who believes in giving the Negro a chance to participate in the affairs of the State. He is a Real War Veteran in every sense of the word. He has proved his worth as a soldier and official of the State and District Attorney. As Hugh E. Mc Beth, prominent Los Angeles attorney, in an open letter dated July 3, says: "With the limited resources at his command Buron Fitts has done more to date in proportion for the colored people of the state than either Governor Young or Mr. Rolph, in my opinion."
CITIZENS OF ALAMEDA CO., CAN'T UNDERSTAND POSITION OF DR. HUDSON, OF LOS ANGELES.
The Colored citizens of Alameda County, the home of C. C. Young cannot understand the position of Dr. H. Claude Hudson of Los Angeles, in exposing the re-nomination of of Governor Young, who is a member of the real estate firm of Mason McDuffie of Berkeley. This firm has been for years the most bitter opponent of colored citizens acquiring property in desirable sections of the college city. It is thought that Doctor Hudson did not thoroughly inform himself of the private server of the Governor. The Colored voters of this city and county where Young is known are decidedly anti-Young.
Citizens of Alameda County.
M.
As the primary approaches on next Tuesday the remarkable showing of Sheriff to succeed himself in the office of, Sheriff for this county, has been one of the highlights in the local political situation. From all sections comes the same sentiment as expressed in poll after poll which have been taken in all sections of the County and City.
The very fine record which he has made and the vast beneficial innovations, such as the honor camp for trustworthy prisoners, solution of the food problem in the County Jail, identification Bureau, Records, sub-stations, crime prevention, etc.
BUSINESS IN THE SHER.
IFF'S OFFICE
This department of the county government is no loaker merely a criminal agency, engaged in the apprehension of law breaking. It is much more since Los Angeles has emerged from a small county to one of the largest metropolitan counties in the nation. It is a business institution, manned by business men, supervised by business men and conducted on business lines.
SHERIFF TRAEGER IS A BUSINESS MAN
He has put business in the Sheriff's office. He has raised the office to a high plane of efficiency. Thru out the nation the sheriff's office of Los Angeles is noted for its business methods, for its effectiveness, for its efficiency.
Sheriff Traeger has the endorsement of scores of organizations; lodges, clubs, fraternities. Because Sheriff Traeger is a tireless worker, a real man who has demonstrated his fitness for the job he holds.

Hospital in less than an hour after
the shooting. Bill Williams, garage

woman's attention to another man is
believed to have occasioned the dead.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 19—By AN,

Declares Chicago Has
No Negro Gangsters
Washington, Aug. 19—By A.N.P.—
Délegates to the annual convention
the "National Bar Association whick
was held in this city last_week whe
might have thought that every timé
a Chicagoan reaches for his handker
chief, he may pull up with a gun, wer
told by Assistant State's Attorney Ev.
clid Taylor that they were many per
cent wrong in their notions abou
Chicago and its crime.
Mr. Taylor represented his superior
Judge John A.’ Swanson, state's. at
torney of Cook County, who had beer
asked to address the lawvers on crime
conditions in Chicago and the Negro's
relation there to,
“Crime conditions in Chicago and
while serious, are greatly exaggerated,”
emphasized Taylor.
In support of the demurrer, he read
from statistics compileé by the Prue
dential Life Insurance Company, and
issued in a report of the Chicago As-
sociation of Commerce, which showed
that Chicago, instead ‘of leading. the
country in homicides, was 36th. Chic-
ugo’s homicide rate is 127 per cert
100,000. But Memphis, Tenn., shows
gyrate of 668 per cent; Augusta, Ga,
547 per cent; Birmingham, Ala, 51.3
per cent, and Jacksonville, Fla.) 46.9
Per. cent.
Chicago's homicide rate was reduc-
ed three per cent from 1928 to 1929,
and the 1929 rate was only slightly
higher than the average for the coun
try as a whole.
According to Mr. Taylor, who has
made a special study of the Negro's
connection with crime, there is no
such thing known to the law-enforcing
agencies of Chicago as a Negro gange-
ter. a
“In the field of deliberate mass mur-
der, for profit,” asserted the prosect-
tor,” the Negro is unknown.”
An exact relationship between eco-
nomic status and crime, so far as the
Negro igagoncerned, hab een discov-
ered by” the state's attorney's office.
Investigation has served to show that
the Negro who was born in Chicago or
has lived there a suficient length
< 10 adjust himself economically,,
displays a minimum of criminal ten-
denies, and that the problem with
the criminal, Négro is almost entire-
ly with the group which has migratec:
from the south, which is upable some-
times, either because of. lack of op-
portunity or lack of training, to ad-
just itself to the new and strange eco-
nomic conditions.
“An, analysis of the statistics for
crime during the past twelve years,”
indicated Mr. Taylor, ‘shows that
when the labor market is brisk, crimes
committed by Negro diminish, and
that they increase when that market
tightens.”
‘Mr. Taylor also implied that the
Negro finds himself important in the
city's crime statistes because of dif-
ficulties usually present in giving him
a fair trial.
“The Negro criminal faces the rapid-
y, moving courts of Chicago without
fiends, or funds and with a record of
anemployment upon which are cast
10 friendly. glances,"/Mr. Toylar ex-
jlained. “The dread of facing ‘the
‘ourt the crowded room packed with
what, what he imagines ‘are unfriend-
¥ spectators and a jury of whites,
aise his friends to be reluctant to
ippear to testify in his behalf.”
‘One handred fifty delegates. attend-
d the convention.
The constitution of the Association
yas amended so that Atty. Raymond
Pace Alexander of Philadeiphia might
je re-elected president. His. election,
nade on the nomination of ‘Former
"resident Francis Stradford, Chicago,

Chicago Negro Busines:
Men to “Carry On”
BY_AN.E. a
Chicago, TIl., Aug., 19—The spirit of
the business men of Chicago seems tc
be shaken not in the least by. the
trouble which the banks of the city
have been experiencing. Busines gen-
erally has been little affected. While
the rearranging of their banking ‘ac-
counts has been hecessary in some
cases, business men are quite g¢ nerally
of the opinion that Chicago will con-
tinue to forge dhgad with characteris-
tic _spéed and confidence. That they
believe in their ability to weather the
severest storm and still carry on is
attested by the following statements
from a number of leading, business
men.”
_W. Ellis Stewart, Sceretary, Supré-
me. Liberty Life Insurance Company:
We feel very ‘optomistic as to the fu-
ture, We believe that the failure of the
Binga bank. was not a reflection on
Negro. business byt rather reflected
the economic conditions which prevail
in our community and the nation at
large at. this time. We believe that
business conditions will improve rapid-

Chas, D. Murray, Pyesident, Mure
fax, Superior Producig Company: 1
believe that later down Wie line'we will
feel the results of our bank failures
rather Kenly. Conditions this winter
are certain to be made harder ‘because
of their closing through the present
unemployment: I am not very opto-
mistic though I do believe there will
be a decided improvement in business
aiter the first of the year.
William E. Wright, President, Un-
derwriters Mutual Insurance Company?
If the people of the community don't
support their community banks, they
will be up against it for their mortg-
ages. Downtown banks have declared
that the Negro district is a restricted
district in which they do not care to
make loans. If Negroes carry their
money to downtown banks, they. will
be crippling their community, ham-
pering its development and blighting
its future. .
A. L. Foster, President, “Personal
Finance Corp,:, Negroes cannot afford
te-dose faith inthemselves and. their,
leaders because of a single business
failure. The race must gain experience
in order to advance and that experi-
ence must come about as a result of
>ur continued participation in business.
Because of the closing of the Binga
Bank, our other bankers will be even
more cautious in the handling of funds
intrusted to them.
William Randoiph Cowan, Veteran
Real Estate Broker: The bottom has.
been touched, From now on there is
ound to be @ continued improvement

rally.
Dr. A, Wilberforce Williams: The

Decision
By A.N.P.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 20—What bids

the World into litigation and confu-
sion began Friday, August 8th, when
Judge Groner of the United ' States
District. Court, sitting in Richmond,
Va., handed down a decision infavor
of the Virginia Grand Lodge of Elks
and dissolving the Sora, injunc-
tion which the Grand Lodge of Elks
headed_by Finley Wilson had obtain-

sometime ago. ‘
The ‘decision important to Elks all
over the ation places the legality of
‘the present Grand Lodge of Elks
headed by-Wilson in jeopardy and in
effect establishes the Virginia Grand
Lodge as the eet Grand Lodge of I.
P. B. O. E. of W, Briefly a summary.
of the situation reveals. that some
twenty years ago, the original Grand
Lodge, of Elks. whose charter was is-
sued in! Virginia lost the charter
through default of payment of a cer~
tain fee of tax due the state. When
the Grand Lodge was reorganized they
secured a charter froth the State of
New Jersey ignoring the old charter.
This knowledge has been kept within
the breasts of a few of the old guard
and when Wilson intrenched himself
in office and the old guard felt he
was planning to hold the grand exalt-
ed rulership indefinitely or perpetual-
Wy, they formed a Grand Lodge. in
irginia reviving the original charter.
Wilson and his group through counsel
Perry W. Howard and W..C. Hueston
entered suit in the United States Court
at Richmond to restrain them from

It YEARS
(Concerning Her Body)
After ‘all I believe that readers of
“Plain Facts” like the personal talks
to women and girls best. Subjects
like “Infantile Paralysis; its cause,
symptous, prevention and cure;” are
intensely practical and we, as’ your
health: writers have to take them up,
and give you an intelligent idea of the
entire condition;- which will enable you
to escape the disease entirely, or to
best deal with it when it is once es-
tablished. This was, therefore, an in-
tensely practical subject which I trust
cach reader, read and studied care-
fully: But it is ehey to see that while
‘you realize the need of such general
subjects that’ you really enjoy best
the “heart to heart” talks with women
and girls; and I am glad, for after all
these personal talks represent the real
Purpose of this column.
‘There is not a woman living who, if
she could go back to 14-years of age,
would riot live her life differently.
When we get older. when we have
seen some of life with its cold realities,
when we have felt the strength of
adverse circumstances and the yweak-
ness of ourselves when we have fallen
flat in life's battle toward success, be-
cause of insufficient equipment—then
from the vantage ground of mature
experience, we look back, and there
lives not one who would not, live life
differently if the journey were before
her again. “What.” you inquire, “are
the things where in you would do dif-
ferently, if you were able to. start
cleagain at 14-years.” First I believe,
would answer. “I would

above all others.”
And today to ‘you my dear little
“fourteen year old,” I would like to
so think long about the word “Sin.
cerity.” The presence of it or the lock
of it will make your life entirely dif-
ferent. Be sincere with everyone, fitst
of all with your self. then with your
parents and last and just as truly with

‘The Inestimable Value of Sincerity
‘The girl who starts out to “fool”
ottiers, soon finds that she has fooled
herself far more than anyone else.
Why, should she be dishonest with any
one, Mother is her very best friend,
first last and always—She should nev-
er try to “fool” or deceive her about
anything, for to deceive her mother is
only for a gid to cut herself off from
her best. earthly: helper. Why should
she deceive her friends, boys or gils
or any body, -If'she is clean and honest
there is no reason for deception, if she
is not then the-thing to do is to be-
come so; because mere >retense will
never fool anyone, for very long. So
into our ‘character building at 14-
years let us put “sincerity” down in
large letters, for it will earn more for
us in present and future life than 2

PETER M. BURTON
UPTON SAYS
This is the first year to my knowledge in the history of politics of this City, that the Negro has made an earnest effort to organize himself politically. The many political clubs are out numbered by the Miniature Golf Courses only, the only trouble is that hardly any two clubs are pulling for the same candidate. The full power of our vote will be felt only, when we learn to through our combined strength and voting power to support one candidate for united we stand, and divided is just a good vote thrown away even though difference of opinions is what makes the world go around, better we be scattered then none at all.
The Railroad Clatter: Wishes to Congratulate the following on the Anniversary of their Birthday, which comes during the month of August—Dan Hood, and A. Noel, Your Birth Stone is a Sardonyx symbolic of conjugal felicity.
TOURIST EXCURSION CLEANS
DISTRICT OF PORTERS; 30
PORTERS TO HANDLE
LARGE MOVEMENT
Over 2500 tourists from al parts of Texas and Arizona took advantage of a low rate extended to them by the So. Pacific Railroad, and moved in a body upon the fair city of Los Angeles last week, arriving here Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The heavy movement just aout cleaned the Los Angeles district of every available extra porter on hand, and a great many regular line men were also camander into the service. About 30 Pullman cars lined up in the Naud Junction yards which is a very difficult place for a porter to reach by a street car.
The cars were all made up into one train, and were scheduled to leave here dead-head for their cargo; it was rumored by many that the regular line porters on many lines not included in the movement would be forced to double in order to take up the slack caused by the absence of so many extra men. The movement was good news to many of the extra porters who have kept warming the bench for the past week or so.
PORTERS ON SERVICE
OF HONOR
The following Pullman Porters operating out of the Los Angeles District were commended by passengers for acts of courtesy and good service: W. C. Anderson, Stanley Banks, F. D. Brock, H. Crouch, H. L. Chapman, A. Franklin, C. A. Glover, E. Gorsby, F. Hawkins, H. Johnson, C. Jackson, A. J. Kimbro, A. S. Lee, H. J. Mingleton, S. W. Parks, J. M. White, and H. Y. Watts. There was also one maid by the name of O. L. Pierce. 18 Porters and 1 Maid, this is quite a record for the Los Angeles district they top the list over all other districts in the country.
The Railroad Clatter is exceedingly proud to stress the matter before the public. It shows the boys are on the job and hitting the ball. Chicago Northern however run them a close race having a total of 16; with a little improvement on our maids for next month, we will hang up a record that will be hard to beat. It does not hurt any porter or maid to be courteous and kind, display a smile whether you mean it or not. A smile pays Dividends, try it and see.
T. TAFT NOW A PROUD
FATHER IT'S A BOY
T. Taft, one of the Los Angeles districts popular young married men, was put on the stork's port of call last Friday morning at 8:20 A.M. The stork paid his respects to Mrs. Sydonia Tait in the form of a nice chubby boy while her husband was out of town.
Mrs. Taft is the sister of Lincoln perry's wife, better known as "Step en Fetchit" who is now in the East preparing to star in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" of New York City. Mother and son are enjoying the best of health, and the genial Mr. Taft was preparing to distribute the cigars to the gang, congratulations.
EXPLANATION OF CREDIT
UNION
In reply to the many requests that the writer has received by mail asking for a more detailed explanation of the Credit Union recently organized by the Dining Car Employees Local No. 582. I take pleasure in publishing for the benefit of the Railroad Clatter's many readers, and all others who desire enlightment on the subject. A full explanation of the Credit Union secured from Mr. Clarence R. Johnson Secretary-Treasurer of Local 582, Dining Car Employees Union as follows:
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
Credit Union National Extensive Bureau, and Author of the California Credit Union Law.
NOTE:—The Credit Union National Extensive Bureau is financed by Ed. A. Filene, Boston Philanthropist, and carries its work as a disinterested public service, without charge direct or indirect for any service it may render.
Recently the "Dining Car Employee's Credit Union, Ltd." was organized. The officers of said Credit Union are as follows:
John Belton
Joe Rakestraw
Joe Robertson
Malmore Hibler
Monte Humphry
The only people eligible for membership in the said Credit Union are the following:
All members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Local No. 18085, in good standing; all members of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Conductors, Golden State Local, Los Angeles Division, in good standing; all members of the Dining Car Employees Local Union 582, in good standing; and all members of the Miscellaneous Dining Car Employees, in good standing, and the organizations as such. So that the people in general can understand the functions of a Credit Union and what it is hoped to be accomplished by an organization not only limited to the group in question but one which should be extended to embrace all people, it has been thought that an article setting forth what a Credit Union is and what has been accomplished should be published to that end and in the hopes that some good will be accomplished; following is the interesting story about Credit Unions.
To approach the study of the value of Credit Unions to the needs of the worker, one must understand the meaning of the word "Credit," What is "Credit?" How is the right of the individual to credit determined? What collateral must he have to obtain credit?
"Credit" is defined by Heerick in his book on rural credit as that "Confidence reposed in a person which enables him to obtain from another the temporary use of a thing of value." Credit may be extended because the lender has sufficient faith that the borrower will pay so that the credit extension is based exclusively on the character of the borrower or rather on the character diagnosis's of the recipient of credit made by the individual granting it.
Credit may be also extended on the basis of a pledge of goods, a mortgage of real estate or upon a guaranty or by the assignment of thing of value. Credit may be extended for an infinite variety of purposes. According to their purpose credits are generally classified as either consumptive or productive. In Credit Unions, it is the practice to think of loans as either remorial in character or as "Constructive."
THE NEED OF SHORT
TERM CREDIT
In the United States, it has been that only 15 per cent of the estimated population enjoy bank credits. What is the result of the lack of credit accommodations for those who are entitled to it in times of emergency. Thousands are paying tribute to usurers. Investigations made by the Russell Sage Foundation show interest rates at from 260 per cent to 2600 per cent. Obviously this condition could not exist were credit resources at legitimate rates of interest available for the masses. Usury can be eliminated only by the creation of a source of credit at legitimate rates of interest for the individual seeking and deserving credit, who lacking normal credit resources is forced to have recourse to the private lender operating at exhibitant rates.
Recent campaigns have been waged against usury. When the Attorney General of New York last year looked over evidence brought before the legislature in support of a loan shark investigation bill, he found records of approximately 2500 cases in and near Albany in which small borrowers were paying interest at rates ranging from 250 to 520 per cent.
The Russell Sage Foundation has for many years before the development of credit unions sponsored the uniform small loans law wherein 42 percent interest on loans was legitimate and within the law. It would seem to be a fairly accurate conclusion to deduce, finally that if the worker is to have available for his use credit resources at a lower than 42 per cent, he must look elsewhere than to the small loan business operated at a private profit and such an agency is the Credit Union or known as Co-operative Credit Societies.
The underlying principle of the Credit Union is the accumulation of the Savings of a group of people, the investment of the accumulation in loans at legitimate rates of interest to members of the group, and the man-
WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE
agement of the resulting business by officers chosen by and from the members of the group in meetings of the group. No one outside the group has anything at all to do with it directly or indirectly.
Membership is determined by (1) identity with the group in question, and. (2) subscription to at least a single share of the stock of the Credit Union, which share has generally a par value of five dollars and may be paid for in cash or in installments of a dollar a month. The Credit Union may also receive deposits. In making payments upon shares, the saver develops a fixed habit of saving. By the time a member has his first share paid for he has acquired this habit and goes right on subscribing for more shares. Incidentally, thereby the member is increasing his credit capacity by developing his own security. In 1917 eighteen employees of the New England Telephone Company in Boston formed such a society each original member making a small share subscription the total original collection being less than twenty dollars. Nine years later 14,000 employees of this one Company are Credit Union Members with a total savings of $1,500,000.
By this method funds are accumulated and credit resources for the members of the group thereby automatically created. Loans are made for provident purposes exclusively to the members which loans are repayable in installments generally on a weekly basis of ten months duration. The management is in the hands of (1), a Board of Directors, (2) a Credit Committee and (3) a Supervisory Committee, all chosen by and from members. The officers—President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer are chosen by and from the Board of Directors. Members of the Board and of the Committees may not borrow in excess of their holdings nor endorse for borrowers. As a general rule no one is paid for their services except the Treasurer, who is the manager and is paid what the members determine. As Credit Unions grow larger, however, such clerical services as may be needed is employed. Thus in the Credit Union the member turns for credit not to the professional lender, but to his fellow worker; he unites with his own associates; they pool their savings, they use the resulting accumulation solely for the benefit of those to whom it belongs, namely for the benefit of the savers. There is no invested capital on which a preferred dividend must be paid; there is no incentive to usury, as the funds invested are the joint funds of the members, most of whom at some time or other must turn to the funds for credit. There is no large overhead expense; there is capacity for correct credit diagnosis. The result of it all is that loans are made at normal rates of interest.
Credit Unions succeed when the plan is properly applied; by the same token they fail when improperly managed. In the Credit Union most of the work is done unselfishly. The successful credit unionist must be touched with the passion for service; he must realize that this organization has in it something of the principle of the brotherhood of man, that it is a "Co-operative Organization" built on the foundation of the strength of unity for a common purpose and as the Credit Union grows in size and assets those who do the bulk of the work will be paid something and adequately; but whether the credit union be large or small, they must have at least a glimmering sense of that intangible something which may make a human being conscious of his capacity, large though it be or small to perform unselfish service. Co-operation is not a miracle, it is a plan of human association in business for the joint and several good of those who are so associated, and there can be no good result from the operations of our cooperative society, whether it deal in credit or in any other commodity unless the business is a success as a business. There is little sense I na plan of profit division if there be no profits to divide.
The Credit Union has a long and honorable history. It originated in Germany in 1854 and come to the United States as the result of the efforts of Edward A. Filene of Boston, the well known philanthropist whose unselfish service both in time and money have made it possible for our citizens to enjoy credit co-operation and its multiple benefits. Credit Unions first started in Massachusetts in 1909 through Mr. Filene's efforts.
The general plan of Credit Unions has already been discussed. It has promoted thrift. created credit resources for the worker and has taught its members the intricacies of money management. Credit Unions work well in groups of from 50 to 15,000. Its loans are divided into two classes (a) remedial loans, made necessary by sickness, death, unemployment and similar emergencies; (b) constructive loans which includes helping members to buy small business, or to finance business until the borrowing member's means grow to banking size, to help, build buy, maintain, repair and pay the taxes on homes, to assist mem-
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY
"COMES THE AUTUM" rapidly with the cold rains asking a lot of partinent, aggravating questions about what became of all those fat checks made at the studios this summer and how about that new winter overcoat. Some have never gotten their last winter ones out of er—aJoh well—storage yet.
BUSINESS WAS GOOD for the male of the species in cinema land but not so forty for the brown Mary Pick-fords and Greta Garbos.
FOX STUDIO had 100 men on location up at Victorville with Fleming director in a picture presumably "Renegade."
R. K. O. had Lawrence Lamar and five other men as a "too bad" orchestra. Amos 'n Andy in "Check and Double Check" has already used a large humber of colored extras and will use more although it is near completion rapidly. This picture, "Commonan," and "Babes in Toyland" will cost around $3000,000 for production. Twenty-seven more colored extras were called for Amos 'n Andy's film last Friday, and Duke Ellington's great band is still on the job, with the whole town talking about them.
M. G. M. used eight men and three women including the well-known Mrs. Louise Beaver in finals of "Trader Horn."
UNIVERSAL will start "Mississippi" soon. Of course that means Negro extras.
WARNER BROS., are making "Red hot Sinners" and six other pictures.
TIFFANY is making "Classics in Slang" and five other features.
FIRST NATIONAL has a gangster film, "The Little Ceasar" and others.
PARAMOUNT where the well-known and well-liked Oscar Smith holds forth is completing "Morocco," "Tom Sawyer" and nine other features.
The extras of both races used during the past month on all lots were: July 26, 5674; August 2, 5324; August 9, 6102; August 16, 6193.
MR. CHAS. BUTLER, genial, busy, painstaking, casting director for Central Casting Bureau, predicts a good fall season and reports a greater tendency on the part of our people towards attending to business.
MRS. A. C. BILBREW and eight of her chorus are rehearsing at the Biltmore theater for the stupendous
bers to buy cooperatively, and any sort of loan which promises to improve the borrower's status or position in life.
Credit Unions have made substantial progress in the United States during the past five years. Some thirty-three states have enacted laws for their organization. There are now 1500 credit unions in the United States fighting the loan sharks. They have over $50,000,000 in assets.
In California where the law is but two years old, thirty credit unions are operating successfully. Many more becoming aware of the benefits of these institution are organizing. Credit Unions are no longer experimental. They are a proven success. They are organized in our state amongst Postal groups, railroad workers, churches, fraternal orders, school teachers. The Postal Department is sponsoring Credit Unions all over the United States. Last year they did a business of over $10,000,000 in small loans. They are supervised by the Corporation Department of this state to insure safety of operation. They have a remarkable record for safe operation. The maximum rate of interest charged is twelve per cent upon unpaid balances. Loans under fifty dollars need not be secured. Over fifty dollars security is refused; such security may be the endorsement of one or more members. A reserve fund of 20 per cent of the earnings of six per cent is generally paid upon shares. Shares are redeemable by giving the credit union notice if required sixty days before redemption provided the Credit Union is solvent and the withdrawing number is not indebted to the Credit Union. In California the maximum loan is limited to 20,000.00, and maximum holding of any person in the Credit Union is limited to $2,000.00. Three or more persons may form a Credit Union.
In conclusion it may be said that the Credit Union offers the solution to the worker for his small loan problem. Further, the Credit Union is a kindergarten School and the subject taught is the business like management of money. Such teaching is essentially preliminary to the business like management of any other type of co-operative enterprise. Finally, if we are properly conscious of the very definite obligation we owe to the day and generation beyond our own, we need not particularly assume the role of prophet to foresee the significance of cooperative Credit as a contribution to that eventual objective, a closer attainment of the brotherhood of man. For the Credit Union teaches the individual that by working intelligently with his brother he may the more readily make the far objectives.

SOCIETY
The Garden Party given by the members of the Los Angeles Y. W. C. A. in Pasadena, on Saturday evening August 9th, was indeed very beautiful. The charming Louise Beverly, teacher of dancing at the Community Art Center, added much attraction with her select dances. The first was a "Breet Beggar Dance." Clad in a vivid green skirt and wearing heavy jewelry the girl delighted all with her rendition of the dance, the applause of the audience echoed the garden which formed a setting for the dance, and could be heard even after the dancer had left the scene. Quite a contrast to the first dance was the Japanese dance. Amid colorful Japanese Lanters, and beautiful trees which formed a background, the dancer slowly danced to and fro with the trees casting a shadow through the trees. Miss Beverly was accompanied by Miss una Terry, who is quite an accomplished pianist. Alva Warren, pupil of Miss Beverly presented an American Indian Dance in costume. The guests departed feeling that the Y. W. C. A. members were excellent hostess.

CLUBS
SPOTLIGHT

By: BILL EDWARDS
... wouldn't be lonesome wouldn't be blue ... if I had a girl like you" quoting the popular tune sung by Biggler lately must be some reason don't you think so?
From the abstrast now to the sublime (or would one say frivolus) we spotted the celebration at Val Verde last Saturday night. About twenty-five carloads of young girls and a few chaperons (nize-party) motored forty some odd miles to dance and write to the strains of Ja Boody and his band. (Not a cough in the whole carload).
Willie Middleton primed for the occasion made a very peppy master of ceremonies and band leader having the orchestra under his thumb but nothing else (if you get what we mean).
The beautiful moonlight and shadowy retreats beaconed to many of the romantics and their responses (for at frequent interval we observed couples return to the ballroom with glistering eyes.
Cookie gave an exhibition tap dance executing some of his new steps most to the enjoyment of the guests.
We had to leave at four A. M. (being Sunday we had to get ready for Sunday School). Although the main attraction was about to take place. We left the Biggler there who being a bigtimer could stand the pace.
He claims that we missed the time of our lives by leaving (incidentally one of the guests lost $153 by staying). Breakfast was theanner, with Mary Jane Clark, Mae Turner, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Vena hosts.
Caught in the light, Esther Russell, Hugh Beaty, the heartless, Newell Eason and I. Anderson from Oakland, Marion Dunlap of Sacramento, Lula Perdue, Ethel Bruce, Francis Turnbam, Vivian Howard and Smithy McLain.
It is time to open your eyes fellows that is all those that are air-minded (and possibly heir minded) for she has made a perfect three point landing in L. A. we refer to the lovely aviatrix, Miss Marion Crawford of Marsh Field, Riverside.
We can readily see how she can make anyone go up in the air, in fact we are up in the air as to who she will take up (not in the air but in arms.)
We understand that the young lady is to enter U. C. L. A. this fall, which means what? — your turn.
Curtis Cleveland has gone in for aviation can there be any connection with the above.
Lois celebrated her (?) birthday at the Apex last Tuesday amidst a score of her faithful admirers mostly boyfriends. How does she manage and select them is worrying the Bigglet. (We already have her formula.)
Roy Baumann has been barking up the wrong tree. He has falsely accused poor Edoule Harvey of usurping his throne when in reality Jesse James is doing the work and Ruth remains the innocent cause. What a pitty!
Naomi Green so very sweet at least so Tommy Anderson testifies, working like a little triobat at the Orange Stand at the Apex. Have you wondered how she got those dimple cheeks?
Another birthday was celebrated last Sunday when a party of sixteen motored to Lake Elsinore. Mr. and Mrs. A. Osborne were responsible for a very unhappy enjoyable time consisting of a delicious breakfast, swimming, games, more food, and "coupling". The party was composed of an orbane and Grace Harris. Vernon Hardon and Cora Collier, George Venable and Melvina Hurst, Paul Ford and Inza Earles, Frank Smith and Elizabeth Jones, Wendell Hale and Hazel Earles and Leroy "Shick" Edwards and Mary Hawkins.
The Personality Girls are soon to bloom forth in song and dance so stand by folks—Next week the Low-down.
Among the rosters we find these names: Misses Chauncey Dudley, Viola Howard, Clarice Williams, Emmer Montgomery, Ollia May Colins, Elizabeth Raybon, Alpha Williams, Dorothy Payne and Cecilia Evans. They really have that thing called personality, if you ask us.
CORRECTION Max Williams was absolutely innocent of the escapade reported in the last issue, through some mystery which we haven't solved yet some one thought they would play a joke on Max; we take this means of saying it is absolutely false.

Los Angeles is to be treated to a dance by Duke Ellington and his band next Friday due to the untiring efforts of Thomas M. Southern.

The last meeting of the Silver Leaf Club was at the home of the Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Stovall. Meeting was presided after the President. Whist was played after the playing all players enjoyed themselves. Then all players by Mr. Ivory Tate, Miss Lucea Perkins and Mr. Leon Buic. The hostess served a delightful repast.
In sad and loving memory of my dear sister, Mary R. Johnson, who left me three years ago, August 20th, 1927.
A noble soul whom God did lend,
A wonderful sister to the end.
Always so patient, sweet and kind.
What wonderful memory she left
behind.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Lovingly,
GERTRUDE CAMPBELL, Sis.

The Girl's Friend Charity Club
The Girl's Friend Charity Club was entertained by Mrs. Melveriene Moore 1434 1-2 E. 40th St. Having had four tables of brisque whist players with every one receiving a fairly high score. Miss Chinese Searcy, sister of the hostess, who has always merely looked on when the games was in progress was forced to play as a filler in naturally every one thought her an experienced player. But the eyes of everyone were opened when she, staged a "walkaway" and led the entire house by a large margin.
Miss Betty Bielson who has often visited with the girls and even entertained the club once, won 2nd prize for guests. She also became a member. Mr. Ben Jones, who has not been meeting with the girls very much recently was awarded 1st prize for men. Mr. Dayis 2nd and Mr. Sam Moore was awarded consolation. Among the members, Mrs. Beatice White is living up to her reputation, having won 1st place. Miss Etta Atkinson, 2nd and Mrs Nellie Williams received consolation. If you have missed this little club during the summer it is because we have not met regularly every week during the summer, but with the coning of the Fulbright and several new members who have applied for membership everything will be hottsy totsy
The Alta Qualidad Club
Messrs. M. T. Laws; D. M. Renton; and Captain Battes, Catalina Island, California Dear Sirs: With the greatest of gratitude that we thank the Officials of Catalina Island for their kind and considerate treatment accorded the Alta Qualidad Club on our private excursion of Aug. 10th. The interest and benevolence extended us aws far above our expectations, and should we search far and wide I doubt if we would find curteous treatment exceeding that offered us.
I assure you that the members of this social club and their guests are enthusiastically looking forward to an early return visit.
Sincerely Yours,
Roger L. Boyde

"POVERTY"
By CARL ECHOLS
Who knows the extent of the poverty to be found in this land of plenty? Rich men wax wealthier. But privation still urks in the background. Who knows the genius and talent that has been stifled for want of sufficient means? Away with your "genius will surmount all difficulties" theory. Poverty is a spur to some, a death sentence to others!
Because of poverty women sell their virtue, men their honor.
Poverty breeds maladjusted citizens. It urges to crime.
Poverty turns men into beasts.
Poverty embitters the soul. It makes callous the heart.
Want and self respect are bad, bad fellows. "Tis hard to look your debtor in the face.
Poverty leads to suicide.
Poverty makes cynics, pessimists, misanthropists.
Poverty twists the sense of true values. Poor men are tempted to place too much importance in dollars.
Poverty gives birth to discontent. And even heaven is hell to the discontented.
Poverty stimulates hate. And the soul that hates shall die.
Poverty weakens the valiant, chills the fervent, and causes the strong to lose heart.
Poverty is a ladder to accomplishmen. And Poverty is a stairway that descends into degradation!
Poverty is a flame that burns away the dross from the gold. And poverty is a consuming heat that causes the metal of character to lose its temperature.
Lord, give me not great riches lest I forget Thee, nor poverty lest I curse Thy name!
SWEEPING STATE
With a grano climax the like of which has never been witnessed in the annals of political effort in this state, the Hon Buron Fitts has received ovation after ovation throughout the state during the past week climaxing in a mighty crescend at the monster banquet at the Chamber of Commerce on last Tuesday evening when more than 1200 persons sat down at a banquet in his honor.
ENTHUSIASM RAN BIOP
There was never a political meeting at any time or place which would excel this great meeting.
The Hon. Joe Scott was the master of ceremonies and to be sure this assured the program with plenty of "pep".
Editor: Manchester Boody of the Daily News was one of the outstanding speakers for the occasion and invoked the greatest enthusiasm by his remarkable facts and figures which unloosed the flood gates of enthusiasm.
FITTS APPEARS
It was fully ten minutes before the candidate could proceed with his speech, such was the ovation given him on his appearance. Throughout his address he was frequently interrupted with voiceiferous applause, and at its conclusion bedlam broke loose such was the state of mind of the gathering
Other speakers followed including Mrs. C. A. Bass, head of the Fitts for Governor, organization, also managing editor of this newspaper. She received a tremendous ovation as she spoke upon the issues of the campaign.
Judge Sheldon Receives Endorsements
M.
To The Voters of Los Angeles County:
We wish to call your attention to the able and fearless record as Judge that Judge Caryl M. Sheldon, now a Judge of the Municipal Court, has made in the years he has served upon the bench.
We heartily endorse his candidacy as Judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 10, and know full well that in ability, courage and fair-mindedness, he will serve all the people regard less of religion, color, race or creed, or financial position in life, as ably in that office as he has in the past.

Political Meanderings
BY CORRINE B. SMITH
Friends, this is my column and I am expressing my personal view on the political situation as I see it. The Editor and Managing Editor have granted me that privilege.
I wish to call to the fact that Mr. Cole Stalling is still actively engaged in directing the publicity of Mr. Kelly's campaign. You know how he has also been very active in every discriminatory movement against our group. Remember my people, our only weapon of defense is the ballot. Go to the ballot box and vote for the candidates that are broad minded and fair enough to accord the rights of citizenship vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States. After Tuesday it will be too late to remember these facts I call your attention to at this time. You owe this to the future generation of our group.
Mrs. Oona Faulconer is truly the logical candidate for Office No. 11. She is well qualified to grace the Superior Court bench and should be elected August 26th.
The. meanderer accompanied Mrs Charlotta Bass, who headed a Fitts-For-Governor Committee to Bakerfield Tuesday. The Kern County Civic Club held an open air forum at the Cain A. M. E. Church of which Rev. Gantt is pastor. Mrs. Bass made a most eloquent appeal for Mr. Fitts and stated some very impressive facts that seemed to have, a marked effect upon the audience and we could see that our message had been well received. The sentiment for Burton Fitts for Governor is growing.
Friends, please don't lose sight of the act that number of candidates now running for office are men of sterling qualities and truly merit your consideration.
Tuesday will be the last day of campaign activities for the primaries. If you want to see your candidates nominated or elected, you must work now and dream later. We will lay aside all
NO CRAW FISH IN THIS PRESIDENT OF THE N. A. A. C. P.
New York, August 19—Out of thirty-seven purely Negro precincts in Kansas City, Kansas, which has the largest Negro voting population in the State, Senator Henry J. Allen received, according to telegraphic report to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from Roy Wilkins, only 1,322 votes. His principal opponent received 3,579 votes, a percentage for Allen of barely 27. Normally, the returns would have been reversed. According to Mr. Wilkins, who is the managing director of the Kansas City Call, which played a large part with the N. A. A. C. P. in stirring sentiment towards the rebuke of Senator Allen, an overwhelming Negro vote was cast against Allen throughout the state.
In this striking manner the intelligent, unpurchasable Negroes of Kansas registered in unmistakable fashion their disapproval of Senator Allen's support of Judge Parker's nomination as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Although Senator Allen was renominated, it is felt, especially at Washington, that the action of he Negro voters of Kansas in rebuking Allen, marks one of the most significant steps ever taken by the Negro towards political emancipation.
The N. A. A. C. P, sent its Field Secretary, William Pickens, to Kansas. Mr. Pickens addressed large and enthusiastic meetings in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Parsons and Atchison. On Sunday evening, August 3rd, what was said to be the greatest meeting of Negroes ever held in Kansas was held at the First A. M. E. Church of Kansas City. More than two thousand persons were in and around the meeting, the thermometer stood at 100 degrees and had been at 110 during the day. Large delegations of Negroes attended the meeting from Lawrence, Leavenworth, and other points in Kansas and Missouri. Mr. Pickens spoke on the suggestive theme, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Parker, Hoover, Allen and Henderson." Those who attended the meeting went away from it ninety-nine per cent anti-Allen, as was to be seen by the election returns of the primary held on August 5th.
David E. Henderson, for whom Allen secured an appointment in the Attorney-General's office at Washington, after Allen had learned of the resentment of Negroes against his attempt to put on the Supreme Court a man who was willing to deny to the Negro all
Gilpin Will Hits Snag
(By: A. N. P.)
New York, Aug. 20.—From Trenton, N. J., comes the word that probate of the will of Charles Gilpin, the noted actor, who died last May in a suburb of Trenton, has been held up in Mercer County Orphans Court by a caveat filed with Surrogate S. Haverstick by Mrs. Lillian Wood Gilpin of 767 East 224th street, New York City, who says she is his wife.
The will leaves $25 to Gilpin's sister, Mrs. Lella C. Brown, and divides the balance of the $2,500 estate between his common-law wife, Alma Bynum, and their son, Paul W. Gilpin, of Philadelphia.
Judge Godfrey W. Schroth will hold a hearing in the matter some time during the present month.
petty grievances and entertain but one great ambition and let that be to elect Buron Fitts for Governor.
Don't forget to exert every effort to help us elect the two candidates of our own group. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Eugene C. Jennings.
Judge Bishop was out making some last minute calls on a few of our representative citizens Tuesday afternoon. I am sorry it has never been my pleasure to meet the honorable judge but I have met Judge Walter B. Thompson, a very fine man who is opposing Judge. Bishop and Attorney Roy Smith, who is also an opponent of the Judge. I am not in a position to recommend the incumbent, but I am asking you to vote for either of the two opponents. I have never been impressed with the record of the incumbent.
Please consider seriously Office No. 1 of the Superior Court and vote for the incumbent judge. He merits your support.
Judge Valentine and Haas are both men of sterling qualities and I am hoping you will select one of these two judges August 26th.
Atorney Charles F. Reiche is truly waging an intensive campaign and feels assured he will be on the ticket if not elected August 26th. He is opposing Judge Hartley S. Shaw.

of his citizenship rights, was present at the Kansas City meeting, in the gallery, and heard from the lips of Mr. Pickens a seathing denunciation of Henderson's willingness to sell out the rights of his own race in return for a political appointment. According to the Wichita Beacon of August 2nd, Henderson is quoted as warning Negroes "about fighting against their best interests when they have nothing to fight with." Henderson alleged "that everything the Negro owned or hoped to be in America is owed to the good interest of the white people." Henderson is quoted also as bitterly assailing the N. A. A. C. P., saying that because of personal friendly relations between some white and colored people in Kansas that Mr. Pickens had no business urging Negroes to vote against Allen, but ought to give his advice to Negroes in the South. Reports to the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. indicate great bitterness among thinking Negroes of Kansas against Henderson.
Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in commenting upon the Kansas primary declared "Allen gained the Republican nomination chiefly due to the fact that there were so many opponents in the field against him. The combined vote given to these opponents is considerably in excess of that polled by Allen. Had it not been for this division of the opposition it is certain that the circumstance that seventy-five per cent of the Negroes of Kansas voted against Allen would have meant his defeat. As it is Allen had to put up the greatest efforts in the campaign, according to reports to this office, intrying to hold Negroes in line. Unfortunately, there were some Negroes who for various considerations, put personal interests above loyalty to principle and their race. We are proud of the fact, however, that the majority of the courageous, intelligent and unpuchasable Negroes of the state registered in so striking a manner their disapproval of Allen's support of Parker. The resentment is one which is not going to be lost upon Allen or politicians generally. The N. A. A. C. P. is proud of the part that it has played in this notable struggle and it extends its most cordial thanks to the Kansas City Call and other Negro newspapers and to the intelligent Negroes of Kansas for the great aid rendered in this exceedingly important struggle."
Senator McKinley
Seeks Re-Election
Making a last minute whilwind drive for his reelection to the state senate friends of J. W. McKinley are very busy on the east side. The senator is one of the most popular figures in Los Angeles political life, and in addition to the people who support him for his seriatorial record are many who are working for him becauseq of his personal character and fine personal qualification.
Macaulay Florence Cole Talbert, famous prima donna who scored a great triumph atthe Hollywood Bowl, has given an enthusiastic endorsement of Senator McKinley. As Florence Cole, she was in the same high school class with Senator McKinley, and has known his practically all her life. Another ardent orker for Senator McKinley is Mrs. Jessie Addison, of 1019 East 36th St. Mrs. Addisonwas with Senator McKinley's mother when the senator was born and for eight years was his nurse.
"There never were more wonderful people than that boy's father and mother," Mrs. Addison said, "and Senator McKinley was a wonderful boy and is a wonderful man. I am very proud that the state of California has an opportunity to secure his services as senator. I want my friends to vote for him and to get their friends to."
Mrs. William H. Sanders, civic leader, is one of the most active supporters of Senator McKinley. Mrs. Sanders points to the fact that "four years ago we elected J. W. McKinley to the senate from this district. He has made a record that we are all very proud of and we are eager to see him returned to the senate. It is necessary to have him returned to the senate. It is necessary to put him back because we can have only one senator and he is the only incumbent senator running for this office who voted against the special assessment evil. His vote on all matters in the senate has been good. He has proved himself to be our friend and it is now our opportunity to see that he is returned to office." Senator McKinley has received the endorsement of the woeuer's Republican clubs of California, as well as many other civic organizations. Recent straw votes show him running far

WRITER CRITICIZES THEATERS
(By A. N. P.)
New York, Aug. 19.—A writer in a large weekly paper last week deplored the fact that colored audiences fail to support colored stars, showing little respect for their theatrical leaders.
Of all which may be true, but did he ever stop to think how little the colored theatrical profession honors itself? Last Wednesday night, your correspondent attended a midnight show at a local theater and was seated in the second row, extreme left. After a long-drawn out poor half-talking and half-silent picture, the revue got under way. There were such excellent persons in the cast as Swan and Lee, two of the most clever comedians on the stage; Amanda Randolph; Artie Cain; Thomas Moseley and Alma Smith. It was an excellent bill, good enough in itself, had not performers in the audience been called to the stage to do specialties. Beginning at 12:30 the show ran four hours!
But all during the presentation of the revue, there was one character in the audience, sitting in the first seat of the front row, just in front of your correspondent, who right only made himself a nuisance but was obnoxious in the extreme This young man has had some success as an eccentric drummer and won a modicum of praise when he played at the Palace Theatre. This has evidently gone to his head for he felt that he had the undeniable right to make himself seen and heard at all times during the performance.
His companion was equally as bad if not worse, trying to outdo the first young man in everything possible. While the theater reserves the right to eject disturbers, it seems that an actor of all people would know how to behave when he is on the wrong side of the footlights.
This was particularly true during the inferences on the stage to effeminate men. Here is a part worked which would be well left out. During the show, Willie Bryant, an excellent comedian if he ever gets wise to himself, a splendid dances who teamed with Duke Miller, has made quite a reputation on the Publix Circuit, pulls this old line, too often, apparently enjoying the delineation of such characters. It is of little help to the show and wouldn't be missed were it omitted.
These faults are so glaring that even the most tolerant persons in the audience notice them and quickly tire of them. But the gentleman who writes the story on the attitude of the audiences toward stars, should write something on the proper etiquette of actors when attending another performance:

HELL
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
The preachers are occupying too much space in the bad news of the front page nowadays. We ordinary sinners have notageen a chance to hit the spotlight any longer. Every time a preacher starts to get married, there's scandal the oider the preacher, the worse the scandal. Women take to preachers like they take to soldiers' uniforms, and, of course, part of the uniforms, and of their presumption and misconception of the the preacher, widowed preacher is the objective of a cruel manhunt. And when he decides to marry one of the beloved sisters, there are so many others offended that there is sure to be a fuss.
Recently one big preacher let it leak out that he was about to be married, and another woman marched into his study and slapped his face and sued him for something like $100,000. To make it even he sued her back for another $100,000 for "assault. It is our prediction that neither one of them will collect, as neither one of them ought to collect. Then that woman "topup" ever and got married to the winning lady. We Have Noticed that Very few Preachers Ever Get Married and Then Stay for Long After on The Charge On Which They Get Married. There is something deadly, persistent, and final about the poison that is injected into the female portion of the membership by the hate and envy aroused when the pastor marries, somebody else. Another prominent preacher was smarter. He slipped away and got married without letting it leak out first. He may get away with it We doubt it "The Deadliest of the species is the female."
Another preacher got married sometime ago. There was a stiff undercurrent or resentment. At least he is moving and there are "explanations" one set and sort of explanation from him and a different set and sort from the hostile portion of the membership.
Out in the west and south a whole bevy of preachers have been arrested for graft and murder. Of course, some maybe all, that are innocent of murder at least, but why in the h—or rather why in the name of the Lord were they so careless as to get all tangled up in a mess like that?
The Lord certainly needs to look after his preachers. If he does not, we sinners are going to do it; we'll just call a meeting and have some of them turned clear out of the church.
We have often been bored because too many preachers spend too much time talking hell. Now we are shocked because too many of them have begun to raise what they have been talking about. And for once we are really frightened about it, for actions speak much more effectively than words. God have mercy on us poor and ordinary sinners if we be in his sight even worse than this selection of his preachers.
MAN WHO ESCAPED
TEXAS MOB ELEC-
TROCUTED
Huntsville, Texas; Aug. 19—By A. N.P.-Rainey Williams, who three times escaped death at the hands of mobs, came to his end in the electric chair here Friday to which he was sentenced for criminal assault on a Negro woman. While Williams was convicted of assaulting a Negro woman, there were two white women at the trial who identified him as the man who had attacked them, and it is believed that in reality the doomed man was electricuted for attempting to assault white women, thus for any crime against a Negro women. Williams was arrested in Port Arthur, charged with attacking several women. A mob stormed the jail to get him, but the sheriff succeeded in carrying him to Beaumont. The blood-thirsty mob followed him there, but the sheriff dispersed them with tear gas bombs and a second mob with a heft blow on the jaw of the mob leader.
When he was brought to the Rangers protector and the first captain considered was that of the Negro woman, and he was sentenced to death.
FORCE.NEGROES TO QUIT WORK
Harrison, Ark., Aug. 19—By A.N. P.—The sight of Negroes working while so many whites are unemployed was too much for the white folks here Tuesday morning and the contractors employing the Negroes were forced to discharge them. Two white setters from Little Rock were given the contract for the tile work in the Boone County Hardware Company building. When they arrived Tuesday morning, they brought with them several Negroes as helpers and the work. Little progress had been made when a group of whites appeared on the scene and told them that unless the Negroes were fired there would be trouble. In order to keep down trouble, the Negro workers were sent back to Little Rock by their employees, who it is said assured them that they would be paid just the same. urged to attend this meeting as it is a very important one.

MODERN GOOD LOOKS
As smart people judge it today are stressed on Five Points—Smooth Skin, Accented Eyes and Mouth, Long Slim Neck, Lovely Brow.
Smooth, "Mat Kid" skin may be any natural tint so long as it is clear and fine—pored. Must not be over-oily or over-dry.
Lovely Brow: Eyebrows must be well shaped. Hairline must be clearly defined. No wrinkles or frown-lines.
Turbulent mouth: Right shade of lip rouge. Rouge applied correctly. white sparkling teeth.
Accented eyes: Eyes must be clear lids slightly darkened. Lashes thick and glassy. Tissues firm and unwrinkled.
Long Slim Neck: Made firm by exercise. Kept light by bleaches. Kept smooth and nwrinkled by nourishers.
First, The Skin. The Skin, for instance maybe as dark or light or neutral-tinted as it is Natural for it to be. Only be sure you have achieved the clearest and most becoming shade possible to your particular skin. That of course means the selecting of your cosmetics as well as your costumes. Use cleaning cream, creme creams, powder with a powder blended to match the skin tint exactly. Then the Browns. The forehead is very much in evidence these days. Its first beauty in being smooth and unwrinkled. It will be naturally if the skin well cleansed and nourish. The dailtime is softened by a few flattering curls.
The eyebrows must be brushed daily with a small brush dipped in olive oil or eyelash-grower. It is permissible to shape them by plucking—Not to a narrow, antenna—like line but so they look like smooth even ribbons, ending narrower at the end.
The High Accents: Eyes are age modern high accents of the face quite frankly emphasized so that the face itself needs no other color—Eyes are kept clear and, bright by the use of eyebash or cold water. And nourishing creams is applied at night to keep the tissues around the eyes smooth and unwrinkled.
Eye lashes are encouraged to be thick and glossy, by the use of eyelash growing ointments. And eye shadow, to match either the iris of the eye, or the tinting of the lid, is applied across the lid and up alongside the bridge of the nose, if the eyes are wide set.
The mouth—so vital an accent in the modern face—must be made up with equal care and daring care in choosing, just the red that agrees with costumes, and with teeth and color of the skin—Daring in using it frankly, not heavily and crudely, but in the cantec and along the upper lip, until the whole face sparkles to life.
Long Smooth Throat: The exaggeratedly long and slender throat that goes so well with the small head and straight shoulders is a gift of

THE LAST CALL
After a very strenuous campaign of more than the usual duration of time for a State campaign, the people now await the vetoet which will be rendered next Tuesday at the ballot box. Every indication at this writing points to the triumphant nomination of the Hon. Buron Fitts as the Republican bearer for the election in Nov. The contest, it is generally conceded, has narrowed down to a race between Buron Fitts and Mayor Kolph, Fitts having a decided edge.
CALIFORNIA EAGLE EARLY BOOSTER
This paper has been right up on the paper itself in tougher the best it could be of assistance in electing Buron Fitts as our next governor. We have so acted because we are firm in our conviction that the State needs a man of the courage of Mr. Fitts as head of its State government.
We are firm in our conviction that he will be the governor of all the people and give to them the sort of government which they desire. We are proud of the fact that the very splenoid support being given by our group in this cause for the people demonstrated ground peradventure that forms a program of State which really includes all of the people of the State.
We now make our last appeal and that is to rally on next Tuesday as never before to do the thing which means so much to the progress of all peoples of California vote—work for, persuade others to do so, and part and parcel of the work to good good government on next Tuesday. But Buron Fitts, will go over the top again and become the next Governor of California.
The method is simple daily exercise: Raising and lowering the head so you feel the muscles in the throat pulling. Bending the head back and then lowering and closing the mouth. Yawning with the mouth closed. Finally and most important—walking always with head carried high. Creams and bleaches help too.

The Cain A. A. M. E. church at Bakersfield of which Rev. H. B. Gantt is pastor, the scene last Monday nite of a considerable amount of political activity both in the interest of local and State office seakers. The meeting was preceded by a dinner given by the church at which over 200 persons participated. Following the dinner a large audience gathered in the side street fronting the church which had been previously blocked off and seats placed to accommodate all and listened to various canidates champion their cause and be championed.
In as much as it was an open meeting, fostered in the interest of the voting public that they might gain first hand information concerning the fitness of each candidate, it proved a success in every way and several hundred voters were much enlightened as to the ability and fitness of each candidate from coroner and justice of the peace to the governorship.
Following several speakers who appeared for the Rolph and Young interests, Mrs. Charlotte Spear Bass was presented to the gathering as the last speaker, and for thirty minutes held the vast audience spellbound while she made point after point in the interest of Buron Fitts and dealt intelligently blow after blow to his opponents. Mrs. Bass had prepared a speech, but laid it aside and dealt openly and forcefully with the issues of the day and succeeded in converting a large number of undecided voters to the cause of Buron Fitts.
Her forceful address drew applause after applause and at its conclusion she was surrounded on all sides and congregated, and asked speechful how she had managed to approach for Mr. Fitts.
Rev Gantt and the members of his congregation are—to be congratulated for the success of the meeting. In addition to a large colored audience over two hundred white citizens took advantage of the occasion to listen in and were well paid.

This whole town is going to shake,
If you aggrivating high ups,
Don't give me a decent break.

Dr. 'H. Claude Hudson Appeals To The Public
In all walks of life it is necessary to have faith in others. The present political situation is no exception to the general rule. It is not possible for the layman to learn all about each candidate. You must follow the advice of someone.
I am thoroughly convinced that the best interest of the state as a whole and of our group in particular lies in the re-election of Governor C. C. Young. Therefore I urge my people who know of my work, my integrity and my past efforts for racial advancement along all lines, to follow my lead and vote for the re-election of Governor C. C. Young. Remember the initials are C. C.

DANCE MARATHON
We journeyed “over to Maywood
Sunday morning. We reached the
popular place at 1 A. M. and. tarried
their’until 3A. M. Feeling that we
had seen’ all there was to see of the
dancing contest we turned homeward.
What we saw:
J:—A ‘sign reading, “SO cents ad-
mission.”
2—A crowded tent (mostly caba-
seters) of people’ of all walks of life.
3—About five couples dancing to the
music of a snappy orchestra.
4—About every 15 minutes or so the
dancers retired for a snooze. Then they
retarned refreshed to dance some more.
The Dances-are only about a minute
long The participants need ot. always
“step (on the puppy's tail,” but they
ust keep moving when the tmusic is
& goin’. ‘You mast move if only. to
walk or else you are disqualified. Be-
tween sleep intervals 2 varied pro-
gram is arranged, which consist of
reciting funny verses, doing a new
strut, “playing pranks, spining ropes,
ete. Of course the interspersed enter-
tainment is not always free of a taint
of vulgarity er commonness. But we
are gaining experience, and who in
the hell cares about a little smoot that
fouls the atmosphere.
The colored dance marathon is i
good way for many srhite men to inake
Some easy money, and @ few col-
ored mento make 2 little.
There is. nothing educating or up-
lifting about the Maywood marathon,
but I forgot that we did not go there
secking Salvation. Any how the trip
there and ‘back in the auto. will at
least relax ones nerves (providing you
do mot tty to reach your home at
three A.M. by going in the wrong
direction as we did). fi
Oby yes, we forgot to mention that
on Sunday evenings you may see some
of the colored fovie stars, What if
they; all sing’ the same songs and de
fhe Same dances we should worry, we
are looking at his “made up” face and
her abbreviated skirt.
The dancers are going good from
11 P.M. to 3. A. M. I wonder what
are they doing the middle hours of the
day? . |

May they be like the captains of the seas. Sail on sail on and on. May God bless them and keep them to the glory of our church. We are praying for their success.
One of our youngest clubs, the Junior Stars are having a lawn social the third Thursday in this month. Will give the correct information later. All the young people that participate in our Boy's and girl's Day program we heartily thank you and hope you will help us out again.
We the young people are hoping that our beloved pastor will give us a Sunday out of each month instead of one a year.

New York. Aug. 20.—The prize for the name and advertising slogan for C. M. A. Coffee has been awarded to Mrs. Lydia Harris, Executive Secretary for the Y. M. C. A., Springfield, Ohio, according to an announcement from the office of the National Negro Business League.
The name finally selected by the judges was "C. M. A. Coffee," and Mrs. Harris' slogan, "Come Make a Cup" can be attractively printed on the can to carry both the name and slogan combined. Twenty-eight other persons suggested the name G. M. A. Coffee, so the $25.00 prize for the name will be divided among them. The full prize of $25.00 for the slogan will go to Mrs. Harris and will be presented during the annual convention in the National Negro Business League which meets in Detroit, Mich., August 20, 21 and 22. More than 230 names and slogans were submitted. The judges of the C. M. A. Coffee contest were: Mr. H. M. Foster, former Grocery Editor, The Journal of Commerce; Mrs. Roscoe C. Bruce, former Assistant Manager, Paul Lawrence Dunapar Apartments; Mr. E. C. Lutzer, Grocery buyer, Biddle Purchasing Company, Mr. J.

REV. S. A. WILLIAMS, Pastor
Rev. Mrs. Blake filled the pulpit
last Sunday morning in the absence
of our pastor. She preached a soul
stirring sermon, subject.
"Dry Bones in the Valley"
8 P. M. Rev. H. Jackson
made all hearts rejoice as he
preached with power
from the subject "The
Half has never been told."
Last Wednesday night
one hundred and ten per-
stirring sermon, subject "Dry Bones in the Valley" 8 P. M. Rev. H. Jackson made all hearts rejoice as he preached with power from the subject "The Half has never been told." Last Wednesday night one hundred and ten persons were at the Evangelistic meeting. Enthusiasm ran high. The Scripture is being simplified in such manner that the congregation are becoming interested and there are many in attendance each week trying to get a better understanding of God's Word, that they may apply it to their lives daily. The effects of these meetings are felt throughout each department of our church. Pastor Williams preaches at both services Sunday 11 A. M. "A supposition of Christ." 8 P. M. "John the Baptist as a Preacher." Hear these messages. Visitors receive a cordial welcome at ST. PAUL.
There are several candidates or their Managers who have forgotten to take care of the little courtesy extended them on the occasion of the 4th of July, Barbecue and Picnic. We the undersigned are responsible to the Pasadena Lodge for their appearance and we must insist upon the payment which they had due notice before they spoke.
Distinguished Speakers At 1st A. M. E. Zion Church, Aug. 24
The annual Men's Day at the First A. M. E. Zion church, at the corner of Pico and Paloma streets, will be observed Sunday, August 24th. For some years past Men's Day has been the most important annual event at the Zion church. It has, in fact, been one of the great community occasions to which the people of Los Angeles have looked forward to because of the high religious and educational values which the Men's Day program always contains. The special features for Sunday., the 24th will be as follows:
MORNING SERVICE, 11 O'CLOCK—
Address by Dr. John C. Page,
Dean of Faculty of Los Angeles Bible Institute. Subject, "The Making of a Man."
EVENING SERVICE, 7:30—
Address by Dr. Edward Adams Cantrell, chautauqua lecturer and sociologist. Subject, "Bluffing the Universe."
Both Dr. Page and Dr. Cantrell have national reputations as scholars and speakers, and large numbers of people interested in the religious, educational and social advancement of the race will avail themselves of the privilege of hearing these great characters. Dr. Page was for many years instructor in Bible Doctrine and Pastoral Theology at the famous Moody, Institute of Chicago, and is now rendering similar service at the Los Angeles Bible Institute.
Dr. Cantrell is one of the outstanding lecturers on educational and literary subjects in the United States, and has been enthusiastically acclaimed by the daily press and prominent scientists and scholars throughout the country. Says Prof. George L. Leslie, former head, Department of Psychology, Los Angeles City schools, "Mr. Cantrell possesses a rare knowledge of the biological, psychological and sociological subjects which underline the religious thought of today." The music for Men's Day will be under the direction of Mr. Aristide Chapman (Denver University). The Utica Jubilee Singles, as well as the quartet from Golden State Insurance Company, Bullock's and the Los Angeles Fire Department will be heard. The public is invited to both morning and evening exercises.

Bethel Church of Chris
(Holiness)
BISHOP WM. A WASHINGTON
PASTOR
East Adams and Hooper Streets
"Shower of blessings refreshing" was felt by all in the congregation of Bethel last Sunday morning when the pastor full of spirit and power spoke from 2nd Timothy: 4:2. He said in part—taking as a text: Preach the word, ("Christ,") "We should preach Christ; not ideas and notion. That he who gets a true vision of Christ looses sight of organization line. Organization is alright, but organization can't save. Christ is all."
The Pastor's Aid Board, Sister Bush President had a very successful service Sunday afternoon 3 o'clock. It was a glorious day for all. Are you burden, or lonesome, heart sick or ill? Come to BETHEL where the fire of the Holy Ghost falls in every service. Souls are blessed and saved.

@pportionment is required by law.
Hewertr, from al reports we get from
northern California, there is going to
be serious objection to the re-appor

dered that at the present time north
ern Callfomig has 29 senators and
fifty-five assemblymen against eleven
senators and 25 assemblymen.
‘As I have said “in my speeches
‘throughout the campaign, the law re-
quires that if the begislature fails to
act, a committee composed of the
lieutenant governor, the secretary of
state, the attorney general and the
superintendent of public instruction
must cayry out the provisions of the
law.
“The voters of Southern California
are beginning to find out that unless
the attorney general and the lieuten-
ant governor are elected trom South-
em. California, the South will not re-
ceive even an equal break with the

will be re-elected.
“I am making this fight for South-

ONE GOOD TURN
At this time when everybody.is gir
ding himself for the primaries of
August 26th, a word of advice may be
considered timely. We purpose to
‘speak on the candidates for. governor
im the light of their attitude toward
the Negro.
‘The colored man in California, as
well as in all U. S. A., is a contribu-
tor to the commen good, hence there
is a certain amount of recognition due
him. Such recognition cannot by any
means be considered a favor to the
Taee. It is its lawful heritage.
Governor Young has done nothing
im the past for the Negro. We have
no guarantee that he will do anything
in the future.
Mayor Rolyh has had two decades
of opportunity to give the glad hané
to the Brother in Black. He too has
failed. The Negro once had a chance
at civil service appointment in San
place and he was thrown out for
good it seems. Mayor Rolph has been
blissfully asleep as far as this matter
is concerned.
‘The third candidate, Mr. Fitts, de-
serves the Negro vote.’ He has shown
Us some consideration. No matter
what the motive, he has done it. |

are of “Chaiflie” Kelley being the

to have a candidate like ‘Chief Kelley’

Even his opponents concede, Kelley
is the only candidate for Sheriff, that
can be elected at the Primaries, Tues-
day. It ta better than even money
that he will top the ticket, if not elec-
ted ‘Tuesday. Ask any’ yoter, any

Because of the pressure of demands

greater efficiency may be had, it is nec-
sary that a careful survey of the ac-

thereby preventing duplication an¢
fraudulent transactions which are pos-
sible, under the system now in use.
At the suggestion of Mr. W. H. Hol-
land, Superintendent of Charities, the
County Auditor is to be instructed to
make an immediate and thorough sur-
vey of this branch of the Charities De-
partment in order that a re-organiza-

‘Holland has made considerable im-

ation cannot be obtained until the

individuals were aided. This year's
figures due to conditions will far ex-

VAL VERDE NEWS
Social activities of last week centered around the owing and dance given by the younger set last Saturday evening at the Val Verde Club House. Although the affair was by invitation and had been in the arranging for weeks upon the arrival at the park, by the masterly invitation of the only Charles Martin, formality was dispensed with and joy was unconfined. All the accumulated gaiety up for a week past on account of giving up their date on the previous Saturday night to the older set seemed to burst forth and from the time of arrival Saturday evening until the final departure Sunday noon there as just one continual round of pleasure.
At the wee hours when the dancing ceased the girls repaired to various homes for a few hours rest and the boys found it more desirable to spend the time roaming about the canyon in fresh air Taxies or "What have you?" One in particular being Mr. Willie Middleton. At an early hour they assembled at the pits and tables where the girls had prepared a delicious breakfast after which gayety again was resumed.
Mrs. Bruce entertained at her cabin over night the Misses Ellsworth, Ruth Harrison, Thelma Hardin, Alma Thomas and the Misses Iverna Anderson and Marian Dunlap, both of Sacramento, Calif.

(By A. N. P.)
Chicago, Aug. 19—Chicago's South Side settled back somewhat to normalcy this week as it slowly recovered from the hysteria which gripped the entire colored district as the result of the closing of the Binga State Bank. Before the flurry was over however, two other financial institutions had closed their doors, the Roosevelt-Bankers, controlled by the Flowers Brothers, Jews and located at 47th and South Parkway, and the Citizens Trust & Savings located at 55th and State streets, operated by whites but having a colored employee or two. The panicky feeling spread until it caused large withdrawals from every bank in the district, threatening institutions which were entirely strong and sound because of the weakening of their positions by the lessening of cash reserves. By Monday, however, conditions were reported as returned to normal.
Meanwhile, plans for reorganizing the Binga Bank have been held in abeyance until the state auditor's report can be a task which is expected to consume ten days longer. A committee of the bank's board of directors has been appointed to work out plans for reopening. On the committee were named C. N. Langston, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Dr. U. G. Dailey, Col. John R. Marshall, and T. R. Webb. While these directors were not talking for publication, privately most of them say they are hopeful of reorganizing and reopening. One or two predict a receivership.
Former President Jesse Binga has been inaccessible since the crash but he has signed over his property, and stock, and equities in various parcels of real estate to Chas. S. Jackson as trustee to be used in an effort to realize on them and remove from the bank the frozen or slow assets belonging to Mr. Binga. The securities and equities turned over are said to represent a valuation of $311,000.
Steady and determined runs during week and were dinner guests at the cafeteria.
Mrs. John Redmend and daughter, of Chicago and Mrs. S. E. Love of Chicago, were special dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bell at the Community House last week.
Mrs. Joseph Shaw is in San Diego this week attending the annual session of the U. F. Lodge of which she has been an officer for many years.
Among the past week's visitors at the Recreational Building were Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Lightner and little Equest E. Jr., Miss Gertrude and Venus Rogland of Birmingham, Ala., Dr. and Mrs. Geo. D. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hawkins, Arnold Williams and Brother, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lattimore, Newell D. Eason, Lloyd C. Griffith, Miss Beulah Coles, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dnismor), Mrs.J. Donglass Pembroke, Leon H. Washington, H. Arthur Provost and Miss Ethel Taylor, Horace M. Bowen, Mrs. L. Miller, Miss Bessie and Master C. J. Clifford.
Mr. and Mrs. E. McCauley, have moved in their beautiful new home on Morganside Drive. It is nicely furnished in keeping with the modern construction of the house. They have also bought a number of trees, plants and shrubbery and will soon have a yard with growths equally beautiful.
which frightened depositors, disturbed by the wild rumors that other banks with large Negro deposits, were unsafe, withdrew their funds were the immediate cause of the closing of the two white banks. Roosevelt Bankers, an institution which was the result of a merger of two banks controlled by the same interests, had a large number of colored stockholders and depositors. It had been fighting rumors of unsoundness for some time. The Citizens Trust and Savings in recent months had been seeking buyers to take it over. It is reported that it would have survived, however, except for a terrific run made upon it.
The rest of the banks in the district withstood the strain well. The Douglass National, while it suffered large withdrawals as did the others, showed surprising strength. President Anthony Overton reported many new accounts secured from the closed institutions. The support of the federal reserve bank which sent cash together with a belief of the people that a national bank is backed by the government both operated to help the Douglass. The Lincoln State Bank, 31st and State, an institution with a mixed board and with a number of colored stockholders, stood a devasting run, finally invoking the 60-day clause restricting withdrawals of savings. The Industrial at 47th and State followed the same course. Most of the patrons who withdrew accounts placed them in down-town institutions. It is reported that the Roosevelt Bankers will not open again. Officers of the Citizens Trust say they will reopen within the month.
The task which faces the reorganization group of the Binga Bank is a huge one. he bank examiners want $430,000 worth of paper removed If this is replaced by cash the bank can reopen. These mortgages and notes while not liquid now are said to be reasonably certain of collection or renewal over a period of three to five years. $75,000 of the amount is said to be involved in foreclosures with probable additional valuation resulting.
Chas. S. Jackson's name has been mentioned in connection with the proposed reorganization which if carried through would mean a change in the bank's name. Mr. Jackson is a successful undertaker who also has engaged in various lines of business endeavor. He owns 277 shares of Binga Bank stock and is said to have loaned Mr. Binga $70,000 personally. He is interested in banking having been slated for president of the proposed South Parkway National Bank which Mr. Binga was engaged in promoting last year. He also headed a syndicate which some months ago had considered buying the Bankers' State Bank. The directors of Binga Bank were called to the state auditor's office Monday morning. No report was available the auditor saying the examination would not be finished for a week longer.

The Metropolitan Water District to be Taxed 3c Per Hundred
Needs of the Metropolitan Water District for the current fiscal year will be met by a tax levy of only three cents on $160 of assessed valuation, according to a report of the finance committee adopted yesterday at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the District. The assessed valuation of property in the District in the coming year will be $2,184,243.675; it was stated.
The report was submitted by the finance committee composed of John R. Richards, Harry L. Heffner, Geo H. Hutton, Paul E. Schwab and Franklin Thomas. Commenting on the report, W. P. Whitsett, Chairman of the District's Board of Directors, said that although the District was authorized by law to levy a tax of 5 cents on $100 of assessed valuation, the Directors have adopted a policy of reducing the amount of the taxes to the absolute minimum.
"The need of Southern California for water is so vital and urgent," he declared, "that every effort is being made to advance the work of the Colorado River Aqueduct project. In doing this, Chief Engineer F. E. Weymouth is effecting such economics of organization as to keep the tax rate even lower than that of last year which was only four cents on the hundred dollars."
The task of building the great Metropolitan Water District Aqueduct in an efficient and business like way is being rendered easy by the high caliber of men who have been appointed to the District's board of Directors by Mayor Porter o. Los Angeles and by one mayors of the ten other cities of the District. Chairman Whitsett said. Chief Engineer Weymouth said the Board of Consulting Engineers appointed to pass upon the route the Aqueduct is to follow, will meet in Los Angeles in November for the purpose of making their final report. Meanwhile, he said, engineers on his staff are sitting many engineering problems connected with the ultimate choice of a route for the great water carrier. One of the most difficult of these problems, he said, is the question of terminal reservoirs and the distribution of the water to the member cities.

If Buron Fitts had not been born ir
Texas, Negro campaign workers woul
not have had one thing to argue
against him,
‘The argument itself as to where
any man is born is so silly and un-
reasonable that one would hardly
think an intelligent person would use
it. It ts a relic of deep born prpju
dice and hate calculated to stir up
the passions of men and women.
It was and is still used by such
pernicious and violent characters as
old Ben Tillman (who is gone), Tom
Heflin of Mississippi. They figure it
ut and find they have nothing 19
commend them and they raise a hue
and cry about black domination,
preach hate and intolerance.
The ignorant redineck and bill bil-
lies of those states get all het up—
the argument wins.
It_will not get ghe Negro opponents
of Fitts anyvhere jor the California
electorate is too smart. They know
the thought is “hog wash” dished up
for the gullible, and ignorant.
“If not Fitts—Who?”
You must give A. P. Alberga a
hand, for he has rendered real service
in his work thyough the Veterans
Bureau for the nomination of Buron
Fitts.
Thousands of extra copies of last
week's issue of the Soaring Eagle
were. an upset to the Rolph contin-
gent, when we exposed his Insurance
attitude to our people. He said: “I
can't insure Negroes in my Company
~ daheksmillchat. them. vote. for. me,”
Shades of the night—can you beat It?
‘The Negro who reads, who thinks
and who makes any pretense to stand
up for his race, should have some
things to condemn himself for for-
evermore if he fails to give in to: his
conscience and yote for Buron Fitts.
He is the only man who has earned
even our consideration.
E. C. JENNINGS
It appears that B.C. Jennings will
receive a 100 per cent vote of-his own
gqoup and if the other group which he
has telped in things political for a
fe time comies across he will make
rhe ballot and who can say might
make the election.
The race issue flares up in the
j2nd district and is shot out by Allis
on; looks like now the best thing to
lo is to concentrate all forces on the
neumbent, if we are to continue rep-
sentation for the group at Sacra-

IF NOT FITTS, WHO?
By B. W. INGHRAM
Qn the horizon are a number
of honorable and able men seek-
ing the support of the people of
California for the high office of
Governor. There is great interest
manifested in the campaign,
probably more ‘than in any
similar campaign in many years.
The interest of the three contest-
ants, ste cause of the inter.

if the were willing to ad-

|form of government would be
| affected, of, for and by the peo-
plc. The ‘condition existing “in
lifornia_ today is a condition
affected by the people, whether
that condition be pleasant or un-
pleasant if the “buck” has been
passed, it has been passed by
the people because of their lack
‘of interest in all problems that

OPPOSING. JUDGE HART-

Reiche believes the “lackadaisica!

is due to the fact that ¢hey ‘are often
“fairly well along in years” and can-
not stand fhe strain of continuous
hard work.
“There is urgent need on our su

stand:the strain of hard work and
bring slong ‘with experience some of
the enthusiasm of youth to the prob
lem of-solving our present archaic and
inefficient systeni of administering
justice.
‘The most iniportant need of the
bench today, however, is “an unfet.
tered. judloiary,” Reiche thinks.
“Too' many of our judges are thus
linked and only at election time: dc
they“ manifest) any interest in the
lowly masses. ‘This feeling on the
patt of the people as a whole is to my
mind the ftindamental reason for the

Pomona Man
Hugh A. Thatcher of Pomona, can-
didate for Los Angeles County Super-
visor from the first district, has re
ceived the preterred endorsement o!
‘the most infitential civic organization
in the county} with the announcement
today that the Municipal League of
Los Angeles has backed Mr. Thatcher
with a powevful statement.
Endorsement by the Municipal L2a-
gue cannot be bought and is only
given after the representative civic
organization has made the closest an-
alysis of the candidate and his plat.
form. The Municipal 1e also in-
quires into the men and /gbrporations,
it any, that are backing ndidate.
Decision on endorsement “is withheld
until an elaborate questighnaire has
been answered by. the jeaiididate and
until after the candidate has personal.
ly appeayed ‘before the League for
further questioning.
Tn preferring Mr. Thatcher to oth-
er candidates for first district super-
visor, the Municipal League said: ,
“Hugh A. Thatcher, preferred. Age
53; attended U. S. C.; capitalist and
‘rancher; manager of extensive Cur.
rier estate; leading citizen of | the
eastern half of the county. "Mr,
Thatcher has no entangling political
allianges snd while he is targely ‘tin
ancing his own campsign he is do-
ing it along conservative lines which

‘At considerable personal sacrifice tre
‘has accepted the invitation to run as
a matter of civic duty. His: activities
‘with the Masons, the Kiwanians, the
Pomona Chamber of Commerce, the
Los Angeles County Fair, the Pomona
Valley Jxospital, and the Political Cen-
tral Committees for years, have given
him’a deep understanding of public
questions. He is one of the. few cam
@idates who shows calfbre equal to
ne requirements of the office.”
The Municipal League's. endorse-
ment today came as a climax to gen-
eral backing which Mr. Thateber has
previously received from. women's or-
‘ganizations; civic, fraternal and
brotherhood yroups; and a large host
of influential east Los Angeles Coun-
ty men and women. Among other en-
dorsers not prevtously mentioned are:

THAT LAST SHOT GOT HIM—
If anything was lacking to demonstrate why the members
of the colored group of voters would not rally to the Rolph
standard it was the Sims affadavit published exclusively in thi
paper of last issue. They say now—eurely Rolph could not
expect our votes, if the Company for which he is the general
agent, will not issue us policies in his accident insurance Com
pany for no other reason than the color of our skin. Therefore
they say away with Rolph.
They say Governor C. C. Young would not trail with the
other governors of the north in refusing extradition to a mob
ridden state and gave up GLASS who is this day among the
missing from the Oklahoma prison... They say further no‘man
was ever known to have escaped from this Prison and as a
consequence poor GLASS has now gone to the home from
whence ino man returns the victim of the treachery of Okla
homa officials. :
They say further the JIM CROW boxing commission which
could in one*minute put a stop to the JIM CROW arena at Hol.
lywood is but a gesture of the estimation which Governor
Young places upon the colored people.
Therefore there is no one left to vote for except BURON
FITTS, the man of destiny who has demonstrated beyond all
per adventure that he is the PEOPLE’S MAN, who stands for
all men up and no man down. Truly he is the man who will
righten all wrongs and has the stamina and courage to admin-
siter the affairs of this great State as no other aspirant in the
last quarter of a century.
DON’T TRADE WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK.
cep the thought and act accordingly, the proposition of
your economic freedom is at your door and the solution is to use
Judgment when you spend your money just like any other sen-
sible person would do.
We cannot expect to be carried upon the laps of luxury
or can we hope to be economically free until we can by offering
our trade as an inducement to fitms to give employment to
our people. Further we must so act, organize and patronize
that we can build and maintain business Propositions of our
own.
Therefore the slogan as appears above must bé our pass
word from time evermore or until the objective is gained.
BATTLE FOR ECONOMIC FREEDOM—
Just a little bit lagging has been the campaign for econom-
ic’ progress as the fiercely contested political battle has raged
for the past few weeks. This being the closing week we shall
be from now on be right on the job battling the best we can
for economic freedom.
Rest assured the part which the California Eagle has
Played in the present gubernatorial contest, is right in line for
a place for our group in.the affairs of government, to the end
that it will be possible for our citizens to procure a just portion
of the work which is given out. by our State and for which we
are taxed.
We are sincere when we advocate the election of a man
who has demonstrated he stands for all People to have a break
“Tin the affairs of government. *
There is not another candidate who measures up with
Fitts in this respect and our voters simply are against them-|
selves when they support either Young or Rolph in the present |,
situation. f

STIMULANT TO PROGRESS
on pees Pariance there is a term “cayeat emptor” which
means “let the buyer beware.” And that does not single out
any class of uyers.
There are people in Los Angeles who buy everything at
home and from home-town merchants. And there are mer-
chants who buy their advertising fram the newspapers and
other mediums of their own community.
And then again there are people in this community who
buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out
of town where it is lost to the community. Those who buy
at home benefit the community by keeping their money at
home and reap ayo ae of buying from busi-
ness enterprises that for their very existence, upon
their reputation for fair prea The home-town merchant
gives his patrons and his comnmunity the fruits of his industry
and his community’s patronage.
The same principle, which urges people to patronize the lo-
cal merchant who has his money invested where it serves them
mest, should urge the merchant to advertise in the newspapers
of his community. This paper boosts Los Angeles and its peo-
ple, institutions and business. It is a fixture, with a heavy in-
yestment and dependent, for its existence as a booster, upon
the patronage of the community. -
Merchants advertise in newspapers to increase their bus-
iness, Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they
may buy with the least expense of time and effort and most ad-
vantageously bath in respect to price and quality. Both adver-
tiser and buyer forget that this advertising makes possible the
newspaper that brings them the news of the day and provides
one of the chef stimulants to community growth and better
ment, - § eT.
THE WIDE WIDE WORLD
Be not be distressed overmuch by news of evil. This is a
wide,wide world. It contains much that is bad, but more that
reece. Righteousness is slowly, but surely, triumphing ove:
If you do not believe that, or merely have not realized it,
turn for a moment to contemplation of happier things. Turn
your tired eyes from the day’s record of evil to the day’s gold-
en roll of honor. There is more of good news than of bad news
tday, every day. There is more to see on the sunny side, and it
is more worth seeing. 7
_ There arg only two reasons for gazing at ugly things;
either that we may more fully now evil when we meet, even in
gilded robes; or that we may grapple with it and blot it out.
Se Broed bighroads of hontr lead to every worthy goal of life.

This is a wide, wide world, and full of sweetness for those

in less than a quarter of a century the sport department
of the American newspaper has developed from a column of
type to from one to five pages, depending upon the size of the
Paper, with a special section of its own on Sunday. Taking the
Press as a'mirror of the life of the times and a gauge of the im-
portance of current events, there certainly has been a change
in the national attitude toward sport.
In expanding the sport pages the newspapers have mere-
ly responded to an insistent Henn freee toe ewes, The
newspapers have not. stimulated artifically public interest in
sport, amateur and profressional.
_ The public’s attitude toward sports has undergone a revo-
lutionary change. The newspapers have not le dthe change’
they have merely followed and chronicled it. That change in
attitude is no better illustrated than by contrasting the news-
Paper, of the opening of the racing season twenty-five years
ago, That notice reads: “There will be horse-racing at Sheeps-
head Bay today, and the same crowds of blatklegs and gamb-
bite that frequent such places may be expected out in full
force,” *
The public attitude toward sport has changed, because it
has been given time to consider the various sports without the
eld harassments. And the people, approaching them and
viewing them in that happy frame of mind, find that some of
the sports are better than others but all of them are good.
Americans have the time and the money for indulgence in
sports of all sorts both as players and as spectators. That was

Warten K. Billings, whose plea is before the State Supreme Jus-
tices, for a recommendation of executive clemency, has the unique dis-
tinction of bringing the Supreme Court to Folsom Prison. He laid
bare the-events of his sordid youth before that body. He disclosed
activities in the sabotage of automobiles, and as a go between in dyna-
miting events of the Pacific Gas labor troubles. In that case where He
was convicted of transporting explosives, in violation of the law. he
implicated a high official, in the person of a state senator fon Alameda
County, as his employer.’ He acknowledged to a series of crimes ‘during
his youth, but emphatically denied that he had any part in the Prepared-
ness Day bombing. He went through his acquaintance with Tom
Mooney, and his acquaintance with the anarchist, Bergman and others
active in the promulgation of, “Direct action” in labor disputes. His
testimony grooved in with some of the high-lights of other witnesses,

Why is it we never hear a “Hurrah” for Augustus J. Johnson, can-
didate for State Treasurer? He is in opposition to the present incum-
bent, Charles G. Johnson. In’ conversation with one of our “leading”
Political leaders he divalged that he did’ not even know that “Brer”
Augustus belonged to the “Sons of Ham.” The entrance of Augustus 7
Johnson in the tace for the office of treasurer, was about as big a piece
‘of damphoolishness as was ever esate on a bunch of “self-kidders.”
Whatever “bunch” induced Augustils to do such an absurd act should
be placed in a special Prepared cell without padding. It is such ridicu-
lous abreations of the “grey-matter” that bring the race in bad re
Pute. It places the stigma of insincerity on our acts and ridicules the
claim to political piéferment. Every intelligent voter knows that it is
as impossible for an unkonwn Person to be elected to such a position of
responsibility as for the proverbal camel to pasa through the eye of 1

And they still continue to lie! At the Warren Billings hearing held
in Folsom Prison, Billings asserted that the sdit-case of dynamite he
carried to Sacramento and for which he was arrested and convicted, was
sent at the suggestion of State Senator Edgar Hurley, Alameda. Bil-
lings set the date as of September I1th-13th. Senator Hurley produces
a group of photographs taken in Denver on the 15th of September at
a convention of electrical workers, and that for two weeks prior to that
date and for two weeks after he was in the “Mountain City.” The at-
tempts at character assassination has been one of the high spots in the,

STAGE VET. GETS BIG
PART IN NEW FILM
‘When “Barber John’s Boy” just
completed at Warner Bros. studio has
gone through its final stages of pre-
Paration and is released to the public
the veteran colored stage actor and
comedian Joh Larkins will leap into
fame greater than he experienced ev-
en in his palmiest footlight career.
“Jolly Jobn Larkins” as he has been
known for years on the stages of Am-
erica, Europe and Australia is at pre-
sent making his home in Los Angeles,
living at 805 E. Adams Street, and
like “many former stage celebrities
working in pictures. Seeming almost
to avoid the fimelight it takes con-
siderable maneuvering to get him start-
sd talking of his past. experiences.
ZEIGFIELD AND GUS HILL
SPLIT OVER HIM
John started back in the old days
when an actor had to really deliver the
goods depending little on lighting and
stage effects to make the act click.
As a black-face comedian he has figu-
ratively-made the world laugh. He was
the first colored man to be engaged
on the Columbia Burlisque circuit lat-
er starring in “A trip to Africa, later
adding’ “Black Patti_as his co-star.
Heading “Gus Hill's Follies” when the
now famous Florenze Ziegfield was
known as his partner, he was the cause
ofthe two splitting up.over some little
detail of John’s direction. Ziegfield op-
ened up first around the corner star-
ring Bert Williams but Larkins remain-
ing with Hill held his own turning the
crowds away nightly. The only colored
‘member of a famous English “Pier-
riot” show he scored more triumphs in
the old world. He lived a number of
years in Australia, meanwhile touring
to other lands. He was a good friend
‘of Galli Curci and accompanied the
present Prince of Wales on his world
tour some years ago.
John reveals that the first colored
taikie was really made with him some
years ago at the old) Jane Melwood
studios under direction of Alf Bouldin,
with him in a part. Recently he has
had parts in Thunderbolt, Sin Flood,
Mamba and other features. Recently
he was complimented highly for his
work as bartender in Lula Belle.
Larkin as “Bildad” in the new
Warner feature is predicted to be
great. The cast in this all star pro-
duction includes Lucille Powell, female
lead Phillip Holmes, leading’ man,
with Grant Mitchell, Russel Simpson,
Ottis Harlin and_others. Carrying the
fongest dialogue in the script the
story full of humor tragedy and pathos
revolves of an aristocratic family in
which John is coachman and butler.
A gripping trial scene with “Biktad” on
the stand is said to be greater than
the “Trial of Mary Dugan.” An ex-
pression of his as “Bildad” becomes an
important part of the evidence and
saves the scion of the family from the
gallows. It is “I got a eve like ‘a
| Eagle.”
