4:7.
"FESS UP OR SHUT UP"
EVERY DAY we hear it said, "O
well I would not take his program
because I don't like him." This attitude seems to be one of the especial idiosyncrasies in the Negro Race.
We have just emerged from a threecornered political campaign, and it is needless to say that the fires of hate and prejudice enkindled during this gubernatorial fight have all died. They are still smoldering awaiting the first breeze to burst into flames. It is unfortunate for our group that we should be so trained politically, and the unfortunate phase of the situation is that the white politician knows our weakness along this line, and the unscrupulous among them use this as a medium through which they work to keep the Negro separate politically.
"It is no more to be expected that all Negroes should be together on a political issue than that all whites should be together," is what we heard daily during the period that led up to the August primary election.
IN THE WHITE WORLD
IN THE WHITE world there is truly an everlasting battle between Capital and Labor. Capital controls the great railroad systems, the shipping industries, agriculture, the manufactures of the Nation and runs the government; while Labor toils and sweats to keep the wheels of Capital grinding. In order to make plainer the mental picture we would draw here, if it were 'within our power to do so, we would paint a picture of a great concourse of people (all white) some entering and some leaving the great cloth manufacturing establishments of New England and the Middle Atlantic States; from among them we would point out from time to time individuals who because of their frugal ability, had accumulated enough to part ways with the laboring class and join the ranks of Capital. When the time for this change arrives in the life of such individual, he finds no other barrier in his way hence takes his place in the circle of Capital with due grace and dignity befitting his station.
THE BLACK WORLD
BUT WHAT ABOUT Black labor?
May we reverse this same picture by painting it black. The black laborer moves along the same route as his white brother to a certain point. He may save and accumulate, reaching the same financial goal of his white fellow laborer, but when that time comes for him too, to step out and take his warranted place in the realm of Capital he sees everywhere signs—You are Black, hence you may go so far and no further.
Now the great question should be, how are we to remedy this evil in our nation? There comes back the only answer that can be given—By way of the proper use of the ballot. Then we say, as we so often said before, the Negro should get, together politically.
LEADERSHIP
AND AGAIN WE wish to pay our respects to the great howl that has gone up about "Leadership." We do need leadership in politics but we certainly should not select that brand of leadership in this particular field which peddles its personal influence to the highest bidder, and on this point there are those standing by who are ready to say, what's the difference, they all get paid for what they do; and from the angle from which we are looking at this time, we can but brand such a statement as being absolutely false. Of course we realize that there are those among us who are const, tly decrying this condition in our political ranks. They holler loudest in order to direct the attention of the hounds away from themselves, by, as a rule, sickening them on the other fellow, who perhaps is less guilty.
There is no need for all the backdoor scandal we have along this line. For instance, in the three-cornered gubernatorial primary election which has just closed, let the citizens send out a committee to make an investigation and find out who among those representing the different gubernatorial candidates actually worked for a price, and who for a principle.
This sort of investigation impartially conducted would cause some to either "fess up or shut up," and here

Killed his brother-in-law and attempted to kill his wife and niece in Pasadena; William McKinley Causley escaped murderer who on August 23rd shot and killed his brother-in-law, Harold Mason and wounded his estranged wife, and his niece, Myrtle Reeves in front of 471 Westgate St. Pasadena, was apprehended and captured from his hiding place under a house which is the home of Wm Mables 132 W. Pairmount St., Pasadena on last Tuesday.
It seems that the killer was recognized and tipped off to the police when he ventured out to appease his hunger. When the officers arrived he was way back under the house, but at their command he came forth with hands up and submitted to arrest. His face was covered with a two weeks growth of beard and his body emaciated from hunger.
This ended a strenuous two weeks man hunt for the killer and the citizens are all appreciative of the close look-out which was maintained, and which eventually led to his capture. The killing itself was a result of the estrangement of Causley and his wife; when she finally refused to return to him, he in a jealous rage fired into the car which all the parties occupied with the above victims.
Mrs. Causley as well as Causley's neice are both seriously wounded, and are in a precarious condition. The murderer has been lodged in jail to await his arraignment for first degree murder.

Seeks "Mother Catherine's" Heirs
(By: A. N. P.)
New Orleans, La., Sept. 3—Albert W. Newlin (white) public administrator, has applied to the civil district court for authority, to administer the estate of Catherine Seals, known as "Mother Catherine," leader of a religious cult. The deceased died while on a visit to Lexington, Ky., on August 11. The public administrator said "Mother Catherine" died intestate and her property should be administered by the state until her lawful heirs present themselves to the court.
Bv A.N.P.
Washington| D. C., Sept. 3—Charles Sydney Dixon, local youth, was arrested here Tuesday morning charged with the murder of his uncle, Sylvester Dixon, who died of wounds inflicted during an altercation in Maryland. Saturday afternoon Officers stated that they had secured information that the elder Dixon, who was found seriously wounded on a highway, just across the state line, had been struck with an automobile jack by Charles Sydney Dixon, when the two quarrelled. The jack is in the custody of the officers and they will depend upon the finger print test to determine whether or not young Dixon wielded the blow which caused Sylvester Dixon's death.
Dr. Moton's Address To National Negro Business League
... Annual address of Dr. Robert R. Moton, president National Negro Business League delivered at the Second Baptist church, Detroit, Mich., August 20, 1930.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is very appropriate for the National Negro Business League to hold its 31st annual session in the City, of Detroit, whose name is symbolic of all forces which characterizes the commercial side of American life. And no one thinks of this, perhaps the leading industrial city of our country, without thinking also of her first citizen, Henry Ford, whose name also is symbolic of all that is progressive in American industrial and commercial methods, the man who has done more than anyone else to give to this great city the prestige which it enjoys wherever motor cars are run or tractors turn the soil.
We come to this city, not to boast of our own achievements, but rather to learn and gather inspiration from these marvelous, efficient industrial plants and wonderful successful commercial enterprises which represent the highwater mark of economic progress. I am almost constrained to say that the League would profit just as much by spending these days in close and continuous inspection of these plants as could be gained by any amount of discussion that we may be able to crowd into our three days' program and I hope that the members of the League will find it possible to spend their spare time in inspecting these enterprises to which we have been so courteously invited by their officers and managers.
THE SECRETARY'S REPORT
You have already listened to a detailed report of the year's activities of the Business League from our efficient secretary, Mr. Albon L. Holsey, who has devoted practically all of his time since our last meeting to the promotion of the work of the League along lines sponsored at our last meeting in Indianapolis. I want to take this occasion not only to thank Mr. Holsey for his very effective service to the business interests

THE MASTER
Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert-McCleave Who was married on last Thursday at her Parents' home in this city
A Brilliant Wedding
The marriage or Florence Cole Talbert to Dr. Benj. F. McCreave of Memphis, Tenn., was one of the most brilliant of the season. It took place at the Cole residence, 1116 Dewey avenue, August 28th at 8:00 o'clock. Mrs. Bessie Dones played as if inspired, "Oh Promise Me," on her violin followed by Cadman's "At Dawning" sung by Mrs. Gussie Bacon, her beautiful voice rang out on the night air; again the violin was heard playing, "I Love You Truly." At this time Revs. Bean and Foster took their places in the beautifully decorated living room before a huge basket of flowers. A large basket covered the entire manpiece; streamers of silver ribbon tied to the handles of this basket formed an arch to two other large baskets in the sides of the room another huge basket graced the Grand Plano and one on the buffet in the dining room, long sprays of fern hung from the chandillers, the whole making a beautiful setting. Mrs. Estie Saunders seated at the Baldwin struck up Mendelessohns Wedding March and little Gloria Roberts looking like a little fairy in pale green organdle holding tight to her precious burden, a little silver basket tied with a large pink bow containing two rings, one a plain gold band the other a platanium circle set with diamonds. Next, Mrs. Pearl Winters, as the matron of honor, wore an imported gown of lemon colored crepe and iridescents carried a lovely bouquet of American Beauty roses. Little Florence Cole the III, made a sweet little flower girl in pink organdle, white shoes and socks, scattered petals in the bride's path.
The groom and beat man, Dr. F. R. Whiteman, approached looking very grand and dignified in full dress, white boutineers and white kid gloves. Just as the bride, radiant in a creaturement on the arm of her father. The coronae was beautiful and very im-

ation of peach chiffon, a spray of pearl orange blossoms in her hair and carrying a huge bride's bouquet pessive—a double ring nuptail. Rev. Foster, in-law to the bride, prayed a fervent prayer, asking God's blessings upon this union.
There were 200 guests present who were served in the garden which was beautifully lighted. The bride's table was set under the Wisteria Arbor. The gifts were beautiful and numerous, filling one whole room.
Dr. and Mrs. McCleave were honored by the Simmons of Monrovia Saturday evening with a delightful wedding dinner which closed a round of breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and trips.
The happy couple left Sunday on the Steamer Harvard for Frisco. They will stop at Salt Lake, Denver; will be entertained at St. Louis and at Memphis, Dr. McCleave's home. The California Eagle extends congratulations.
Binga Stockholders, Depositors, To Meet
Chicago, Sept. 3—According to information obtained from one of the directors of the Binga State Bank, closed by the state recently for "examination and adjustment," plans for the early reorganization and reopening of the bank are progressing nicely.
Next week, it is the plan of the reorganization committee to call a meeting of the directors and stockholders of the institution. Although the purpose for such a meeting has not been stated, it is thought that some of the depositors and directors might be invited to share a part of the financial responsibility attendant upon reopening.
Says That Julian Is Making False Claims
"This statement comes as the result of recent publications concerning Mr. Julian and it is with regret that such a statement is made, but Mr. Julian has misused the kindness and opportunity the Abyssinian government offered him."
Jailed For Alleged Attack On Woman
By A.N.P.
Clarksdale, Miss., Sept. 3—Tracked by bloodhounds to his home and said to have been identified by his two victims, Tom, Hill, 50, is being held in the Coahoma county jail, charged with assault on two white women.
Hill, who has been an employee on the Leeton Plantation for 37 years, is said to have entered the home of Mrs. Betty Dorris, white, and her daughter, about one o'clock in the morning. The women live alone on the plantation.
The mother tells a story about hearing Hill climbing in the window and of the fight which she put upon him.
Other hands on the plantation claim that they had heard that there was a love affair between the mother and Hill and that the daughter caught them together.
15,000 Workers Demonstrated Against Lynching
(By: A. N. P.)
New York, Sept. 3.—Mobilized under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, 15,000 Negro and white workers here demonstrated against lynching and pledged their determination to carry on a militant struggle for the abolition of the barbarous lynching evil.
The demonstration was held on the third anniversary of the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, two militant working-class fighters executed three years ago in Massachusetts because of their activities in behalf of labor. Besides the pledge for a determined fight against dynching, which in eight months has taken the lives of 21 Negroes, the thousands of workers also demanded the unconditional release of the six Atlanta, Ga., prisoners—four whites and two Negroes—facing death in the electric chair because of their endeavors to organize Negro and white workers together, and also the release of all working class prisoners.
The demonstration in New York was one of many similar demonstrations held in all sections of the country under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, and is part of the campaign against lynching and persecution of Negro and white workers conducted by the International Labor Defense.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 3.—Officers here are on the lookout for a dark brown, flashily dressed youth who is touring the state forging checks. Camden, the last place visted by the youth, holds some eleven of the bad checks.
It Took Eighty Years To Catch Mr. Steele
It Took Eighty Years To Catch Mr. Steele
Greenville, Miss. . Sept. 3—Dixie Steele, a city drayman for more than thirty years, became the possessor of his first bad check when he advanced eighty cents on the piece of worthless paper. Steele is about eighty years old. He had started home at noon today when halted by a tall man, giving his name as Dan Washington, who bargained with him to haul some baggage to the railroad station, incidentally offering to pay in advance if Steele would cash a check for $20.00. The check was drawn on the First National Bank, signed Walter Coblen and made payable to James Steward. Steele had a $5 bill and 80 cents in silver, but as "something told him to be cautious," Dixie offered only the 80 cents on the check until it could be cashed and held back $5. The check was presented at the bank and found worthless, whereupon Dixie took it to the next best place, the police station. Chief Taggart immediately got on the job in an effort to locate the offender.

Prefers Jackson Jail

(By: ALN. P.)
Jackson. Miss., Sept. 3.—“Boss, I
sho’ rather be in jail in Jackson, than

related in a late edition of the Daily
Clarion Ledger of this city.
__ Frank Nichols, resident of, Jackson,

RAILROAD CLATTER-COAST DOINGS By Charles L. Upton
Friday September 5, 1930
1937
UPTON SAYS
"Every Tubl"
The gang of the underworld are beginning to realize that even though officer Sheffield is behind iron bars he can still be a terror to them. Having been given a free hand with the pen in one of our leading publications, he takes one Dr. Darrington to task in accusations that are scorching and bitter, exposing the Doctor as a stool pigeon and dope peddler. Brother them are mighty hard pills to swallow publicly, even for a doctor. Every Tubl is in jail but the pen is mighter then the sword, a weapon which the big boy seems to be using to good advantage.
The Railroad Clatter: Congratulates the following porters on the anniversary of their birthday which makes its advent during the month of September—H. E. Fry. Your birthstone is the Sapphire, symbolic of Antidote for madness.
PULLMAN PORTERS HURT IN LARK-PADRE WRECK-PAS-SENGERS BADLY SHAKEN UP
News was dispatched to the Railroad Clatter by special wire last Thursday of the wreck resulting from a rear end crash between the Lark and Padre two cracked train trains; 21 passengers, the Larkman and even Los Angeles Pullman porters were injured.
The wreck occurred when most of the passengers were in bed and the Lark running at a speed of 35 miles an hour passed up signals which were set against it. The Padre was at a standstill in San Louis Obispo repairing a broken steam hose. The crash was of such impact that the observation car on the Padre was completely telescoped. Mr. Paul Shoup, president of the So. Pacitio was on board the padre in a private car at the time of the crash, according to the followingorter were on board the Lark: Ed. Garey, car 71. L. Jenkins Sr, car 72, W. J. Logan, car 73, H. A. Ross, car 74, W. Themed, car 77, J. F. Howard, car 78, and E. Ollison car 07.
It was reported that Jenkins, Theodford, and Ollison were injured, an investigation was begun by state and railway officials. T. H. Williams, Assistant General Manager of the So. Pacific headed the board of inquiry which also included representatives of the state railroad commission and citizen corporations. CORPORATIONS SHOULD GIVE EMPLOYEES MORE CON-SIDERATION
When a man has given the best part of his life in service to a corporation he deserves every consideration from them before he is dropped from their pay rolls, with a few concerns this practice is followed, but they are very few; as a general rule when an employer tires of you, or has some personal grudge against you, they fire you and drink of water regardless of how faithful you may have been to them in the past or how long you have been in their employ.
This may not be the exact ideas of the real heads of the various firms, but it is in many instances the policy of the smaller officials, such as Superintendents, shop foremen, and straw bosses.
Whether you went to work today or twenty years ago, 'makes no difference to them, when they want to get rid of you they lose no time in doing it, and spare no words i mletting you go in a cold a manner as is possible, very few of these would be big men ever give your case the consideration it may be due, but the question is—Does it pay? Does it pay to let one's personal grudges intermingle with one's nature? Does it pay a big gift a little gift a little gift not be plain to the officials who have a desire to rise in higher life, but it is positive fact, that no big man ever got big by fighting a little man, and no big man will ever reach his goal if his goal be high by fighting little men for the simple reason that there are too many little men to fight.
When a would be official deprives an employee of great length of service from a means of making a livelihood on a small technicality, he is destined to fall, and when they do fall, they rise no more. Cases can be cited where desperate deeds have been committed over the loss of a means to make a living, men have been known to become tempioneer insane over the loss of a job which they have given better part of their life than what happens? Well to show you what happens in some cases I will cite the following case: Conduct or kills former employer: San Francisco. Aug. 29th.
Grief over the loss of his job after 23 years of service was believed to have been the cause of John Donlin, conductor, killing his past employer, the conductor of the Market Street Railway, and then committing suicide.
Doulin had been discharged recently by Gunn after repeated warnings that he was drinking too much. Yesterday Doulin, with a grim set jaw, entered the car barn, and ignored the salutations of his comrades, proceeded to

A. A. WRIGHT, TOPS LIST FOR
S. S. O. SALES IN LOS ANGELES DISTRICT
The Pullman Company's campaign of single section occupancy sales has increased the revenue all over the United States, Pullman Conductors and porters in charge have entered in to the campaign with a grim determination to top the list in their respective districts. Pullman conductor, A. A. Wright and H. J. Lake have demonstrated their sales ability in the Los Angeles district by bringing their quote up to 31 sales for Lake and 30 for Wright, other conductors were as follows: A. M. Clark, 24; E. Shaw, 14; I. A. Moses, 13; W. R. Burnett, 12; W. T. King, 11; R. H. Higgins, 10; B. H. McKee, 10; J. W. Davis, 10; Two porters operating out of the Chicago Eastern District proved their mettle by selling 44 and 33, respectively. Just whether the employees received any commission for this extra work has not as yet been learned, but they most certainly deserve a commission for their sales ability whether they get it or not.

On Gunn's refusal to give him back his job, Donlin whipped out a revolver and sent a bullet crashing into the Superintendent's head. Without a word the former conductor walked out into the hall calmly refilled the 38.caliber gun and shot himself in the head.
This is a case where the loss of this man's job preyed so heavily on his mind that he became temporarily insane. The Superintendent in this paranormal dispensing with this man's services, but he came cases where the Superintendent is not justified. More consideration should be shown employees of long standing, men should be treated like human beings instead of dogs. If a man is down and asks for a chance give it to him, you may be down yourself some day, who knows?
LOS ANGELES PULLMAN
PORTERS SHOULD HAVE
LOCKER SPACE FOR
UNIFORMS
Why is the pullman conductor given so much more consideration then the pulman porter? This question has been asked many times. In uniform inspection, the pullman platform agent meets the conductor when he arrives with his train, looks his uniform over and writes him out an o./k. slip for his check.
This procedure causes the conductor no inconvenience, and no loss of time as he already has his uniform on. He can then change to his civies, put his uniform on a hanger and take it upstairs in the depot and hang it up in a steel locker which the Pullman Co. provides for him; the steel locker arrangement is quite a factor in helping an employee to keep his uniform in a neat and tidy condition, the locker saves the employee from having to pack his uniform in his hanabag which is always full of other things and causes his apparel to become full of wrinkles.
Unfortunately, the pullman porter is provided with no such convenience, just why has always been a mystery to the writer; it is just as important to the porter to possess his uniform looking not as it is the conductor. Under the present system. A porter's wife must press his uniform every time he comes in off of his run in order to keep her husband looking neat when he goes back again, if however she happens not to be well vexed in the art of pressing the porter must carry it to a tailor and pay for it. The porter must, in addition, send this amount every time her husband comes in adds quite an expense to the family budget.

Husband Shoots Wifey And Her Sweetheart
By A.N.P.
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 3—Alfonso Sullivan, age 20, and Mrs. Bennice Stone, age 35, forgot to keep the eleventh commandment, which reads, "Thou shalt not get caught," and as a result, both are in the hospital seriously wounded, and Peyton Stone, the forty-year-old husband of the woman, is being sought by the officers, charged with the shooting. The story has sometimes Stone has suspected that the looks exchanged between his wife and Sullivan meant him no good and that all was not well in his household. Frequently he had tried to "catch them" but they proved too alert for him.
Wednesday afternoon "something" told Stone to return home, and he followed the suggestion. Upon arriving he found his wife in the arms of her youthful lover. The same small voice of intuition which told him to go home, also told Stone to carry a shot-gun with him, and again he heeded the warning. Thus when he arrived home and saw the loving couple, he opened fire. Stone was shot in the left breast. Stone and Mrs. Stone in the left breast. After the shooting, Stone made his escape, but police believe that due to the circumstances surrounding the shooting that he will soon give up.
Bethune-Cookman Adds Citrus Culture To Industries
Daytona Beach, Florida, Sept. 3.—As a result of a recent arrangement with President Bethune, Messrs. Toney E. and J. W. Wright, famous citrus fruit growers of Volusia County will teach the planting and care of citrus fruits to special classes at Bethune Cookman during a portion of the ensuing year.
The "Wright Brothers," owners of flourishing groves at DeLand, have become widely known for their success in the production and marketing of citrus fruits. The practical side of their instruction will be conducted with a young orchard recently started on the college grounds and at the mature groves on the instructors' estates.

TO THE PUBLIC
There appeared in the 'New Age Dispatch of August 22, 1830 two articles accusing me of endorsing the candidacy of Judge Bishop for judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 4. I did not endorse Judge Bishop: the Blackstone Club did not endorse Judge Bishop, neither did the Republican Study Clubs endorse him. If the author of those articles desires to know who I endorsed, I will say, my endorsements were the same as those of the Republican Study Clubs. These clubs consist of two thousand of the best thinking and most reliable women of Los Angeles County, who only endorse after a thorough investigation, and after making an endorsement they stick to it and cannot be bought off. May I take this opportunity to thank my many friends for their loyal support of my candidacy for judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 4.

BY BISHOP J. A. GREGG (For the Associated Negro Press)
The railway systems of Europe have improved greatly in the last twenty-five years, when Americans used to make fun of poor accommodations for travel. The cars then were small, the seats uncomfortable, the handling of baggage abominable, schedules unheard of, and for sleeping at night, one carried his own rug and stretched out wherever and whenever he could. Not so now, for the roads have reduced the inconveniences to a minimum, established trunk lines so that you may go from one European center to another on trains that rival any of our own for speed, safety, and comfort Our trip from Paris to Rome was by train De Luxe, all the pullman cars of which gave each passenger the privacy of a compartment, with diner attached and even the great pleasure of a morning's shower bath.
The journey takes one by way of a portion of Switzerland beneath the loft. Alps and through more tunnels than you can count, the one between France and Italy being more than eight miles long. At Modane custom officials examine your passports and baggage; at Genoa you think of Columbus and Marconi, at Pisa you look out upon the Leaning Tower; you pass through fertile fields where the people are cultivating every available space of ground, while for miles you skirt the blue Mediterranean, the road sometimes clinging to craggy cliffs, and you draw back from the window for fear that you might topple out right into the sea below.
At Rome, not caring to go with the Cook's Conducted Tour, five of us, Drs. Morris and Gomez, Dr. and Mrs. Lane of Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., and I got a car and were fortunate enough to secure as our guide Mr. Engenio Matiello, a Cook courier of 35 years experience, who guided Mrs. Gregg and myself two and onehalf years ago. Mr. Matiello took us to a number of places off the usual Cook itineraries, places of great interest and seldom seen by the regular tourists, as well as the quins usually visited. These excursions included the ancient ruins, a trip to Ostia, the seaport of the Casars, luncheon on the Mediterranean, an audience with the Pope, St. Peter's, St. Paul's, St. John, St. Lateran, the Catacombs, Sancta Scala, the stairway from Pilot's Judgment Hall, brought to Rome, Empress Helena, the Fountain, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the new Forums (they told us now excavating the Palatine Hill), the tower in which Nervi could have been fiddling the burning of Rome, the Aphon Way and the spot where Peter on feeling from Rome, met the Master in a vision and exclaimed, "Quo Vadis Domin," the old Roman Wall, the arches of triumph expected to Rome's victorious general, and the famous fountain, into which the throwing of pennies, tradition says, will bring you back to Rome.
How one could write of these things and how the imagination runs riot as you think of the whip of the slave driver, the rattle of chanions or the tramp of the Roman legions. But you have read so much about them that a further description of them is like "bringing coal to Newcastle."
From Rome we went to Innsbruck,
Austria, on our way to Oberammergau.
The route is along some of the
most picturesque scenery in the
world. The Tyrol Mountains rise to
dizzy heights and here and there you
see castles capping lofty peaks over
looking the valleys below. We saw
under cultivation every foot of till.

able soil along the valleys and up the mountain sides. It was haymaking time and the fields were full of men, women and children, "raking the meadows, sweet with hay." Some of the fields were right up slanting mountain sweeps, where we saw men swinging scythes and wielding forks on slopes so steep that I am sure if these tools had slipped out of their hands they, would have gone eithering down to the levels below.
We arrived at the quaint village of Oberammergau on the evening of July 31, and were housed at the home of Wagommeister Johann, Kockers near the entrance of the great amphitheater in which the Passion Play is enacted. On August 1, we attended the Play. It begins at 8:30 A.M. and continues until 6 P.M. with an intermission of two hours for lunch. The Play is so very absorbing and the action so realistically carried out that one does not note the passing hours. Prologues from the Old Testament, which are types in the events of the book, are given in ableman form, and then follow the scenes of which they are the prototypes, until the final scene of the Ascension, the realism of which is so absorbing that one is left almost heartless. Indeed, one woman became hysterical and had to be carried out.
To my mind, the man who played Judas did the best acting, although all were exceptionally good. It is rather interesting that many of the visitor refuse to stop in the home or this because of the character he plays. The morning of August 2, we left Oberammergau for Munich, where we
remained until Monda. During our stay at Munich, I was very ill with a case of indigestion, that almost became acute. A German doctor made four visits to me, and when he presented his bill, Drs. Morris and Comes say I got better at once. We were able to leave for Berlin on schedule time, where we attended the great Christian Endeavor Convention which exemplified the best expression of Brotherhood it has ever been my experience to observe. Of this meeting, I shall have more to say later.

Fifth city in the United States in
Los Angeles leads the first four cities in low electric rates,
it is disclosed in a survey made by
engineers of the City-owned Bureau
of Power and Light.
Los Angeles City-owned Bureau of
Power charges $1.81 for 40
kilowatt hours of electric light for
domestic consumers compared with
$2.02 charged by Detroit, next lowest
of the first five cities in the United
States and $2.80 by New York, the
highest. For 90 kilowatt hours used
for light and refrigerator, Los Angeles
rate is $3.06, Detroit, $3.31, Philadelphia,
$4.44 and New York $6.30,
based on kilowatt hours
using light and refrigerator electric
range. Los Angeles consumers pay
$6.48; Detroit $6.69, New York $16.80,
the survey points out.
In spite of repeated reductions in rates charged for electric energy, the City-owned Power Bureau has continued to pile up substantial surpluses at the close of each year, it is stated by officials of the Bureau. Rate reductions amounting to $1,200,000 were into account at the close of the fiscal year. June, the net income was $4,224,498.82 a report of Price, Waterhouse and Co. shows. City Council recently authorized the placing of a power bond issue on the November 4 ballot. This bond issue is part of a contemplated three-year program of capital investments for the improvement of the Power Bureau's transmission and distribution system. Twelve million dollars of the needed investments will be received from surplus earnings of the Power Bureau, states E. F. Scattergood, chief engineer and general manager of the Bureau.
Among the items listed in the setup for the three year plan is an item covering purchases of needed rights of way for transmission lines from the Boulder Dam power plant. Other items include increasing the production of Power Plant No. 2 by adding a new unit, construction of new distributing stations and other needed improvements.

It is, I think, a fair generalization that a white novelist, writing on the Negro question of today, sincerely tries to get new and correct material and is not afraid of it; while a colored novelist, with enormous data on hand that he knows to be true, shies from his stuff. He copies old patterns and skates around dangerous places. He gets caught up in glittered life. Claude Mackay, but he fears his emotions and is timorous about showing us reality. This is a rough generalization with its exceptions, and one of the exceptions is this first novel of Langston Hughes. Not but what Mr. Wugh's material is old enough. Here is the kind old mammy who loves everyone, the little boy who sits on her lap to hear her wisdom, the no-count husband, playing the banjo; and worshipped by his mother, the little girl, titulate, all familiar figures and yet fresh and living as they stand in the drab setting of a little Kansas town.
Langston Hughes does not fear his material. He drew, perhaps with some venom, the well to do daughter, Tempy who has made a successful marriage, and who looks down on her mother at the ironing board and her sister going out to work in a white house. His wife is a white house, a sample of the species as one could find among any group in America. Tempy is never there to help out when help is needed. She only comes when coming means patronizing ostentation. She ins a tiresome snob. The book opens with a cyclone, his occupying a "Jim Crow" section of the street car. What paradox How long will American Negroes have to go abroad to become of age?

Contest Ends For Composers of Negro Race
Awards made through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association Competition Started by Rodman Wanamaker.
An important feature of the Convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Incorporated, which met in Chicago this past week, was the announcement of the awards in the contest for colored composers sponsored by the late Roderon Wanamaker. The prizes this year were offered by Captain John Wanamaker, Jr., as a memorial to his father.
Rodman Wanamaker conceived this interesting idea when he attended the Convention of this Association when it met in Philadelphia in July, 1926. Mr. Wanamaker who always showed a great interest in the Negro race, during his philanthropic life, made this contest his great interest and hope in the developing of the native gift and genius of music for entirely original musical compositions in this naturally musical race. This contest has aroused nation-wide interest the judges having received two hundred and twenty compositions from California to Maine. The number of judges this year being increased, making the rewards more difficult to win.
The judges were known music critics, as: Edwin Franko Goldman, Theodore Drury, J. Rosamond Johnson, Guiseppi Boghetti, Nat Shillrett, Orlando E. Wardwell, W. Franklin Hoxter and Perry Bradford. They report that the compositions, on a whole, have been of a high standard this year in all four classes which are: Song, Dance Groups, Spirituals and Choral Work. Those in the latter especially showed exceptional execution of difficult themes.
Major Scroggins, president of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia, represented Captain Wanamaker at the Convention. In his announcement of the awards he brought direct word from Captain Wanamaker that this interesting Contest will be carried on next year. The plans will be anxiously awaited by competitors and spectators all over the United States.

ROLAND HAYES RE NOUNCES CITIZENSHIP
ROLAND HAYES RE NOUNCES CITIZENSHIP
By JESSE O. THOMAS
According to the daily papers and weekly journals, Roland Hayes the most famous and internationally known singer, renounces citizenship in his native land and becomes a citizen in the French republic. The reasons given are: Social and legislative prescription, intimidation and undemocratic public policies.
Hayes seems to experience great difficulty in getting hotel accommodations in many parts of the country, and Pullman accommodations in others as he travels on his annual concert tour from New York. There is nothing unusual about a citizen leaving his own country and choosing to live in another where he finds greater opportunity of enjoying larger living. It is unusual, however, to have a citizen of such prominence leave his country because he is treated more like a man in a foreign country.
It emphasizes the fact in the experience of every Negro that no matter what a member of his group may achieve, how distinguished he becomes there are certain inhibitions, and limitations imposed upon him if he moves about unannounced.
Roland Hayes of international prominence, if he travels below the Mason Dixon Line, approaches a hotel register (and in many sections of the country unheralded, must take a "Jim" seat in the hotel room. Occasionally at all. Many white people who will clamor for a seat to hear him sing, will crowd behind the stage to shake hands with him and get his autograph. will refuse to ride with him in a Pullman car and insist on

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 3—Mr. and Mrs. William Linder live in the 5200 block of LaSalle Street in this city. Mrs. Rose Julian and Joseph Murphy, both white in the 5100 block of La Salle Street, at the same number. The Linders and Mrs. Julian and Murphy are therefore neighbors, and the difference of race has kept them from being friendly neighbors. The Linders, though colored, are rather well-to-do. Mrs. Julian and Murphy have little of this world's goods.
But they have had an abundance of regard of a particular kind for each other. They had so much that about three months ago a child was born to Mrs. Julian, and she named the child Joseph Murphy, out of regard for Mr. Murphy who, she claimed, was the father.
Mr. Murphy, however, was not interested in his alleged offspring. Mrs. Julian has three other children. Mrs. Linder, the colored neighbor, decided when the child was born, and cared for the child, observing the poverty roundshots she took the red-haired white baby home with her later and agreed to care for it. Mrs. Julian was quite willing, confessing that the burden of its upkeep, without the help of Mr. Murphy, would be too much for her. Thus matters went on for seven months. Then Mr. and Mrs. Linder decided that as inasmuch as they had taken care of their own, they had better make the adoption legal. They entered a petition before the county court.
Their petition that of colored persons wishing to adopt a white baby, was the first of its kind the court had ever been called upon to consider. The unique features of the case were immediately seized upon and played up in the court. There was no legal restraint which the court could pose against the adoption, because the law says nothing about race. The Linders were, well able to take care of the child, and Mrs. Julian was not. Mrs. Julian was quite willing that the Linders should have the baby. However, sole disinterested persons got busy and changed the mind of Mr. Murphy. He was induced to recognize that she would to marry Mrs. Julian so that she would have some help in its upbringing and so that the child might have a name. Thus the great white race was saved from a terrible blunder which its law had neglected to provide against.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 5-By A.N.P.—The trial on the question of the sanity of George Johnson, who is alleged to have shot and killed J. Adair "Tiny" Lawrence, white, Tulane University athlete, and football star, in the Vieux Carre section last Mardi Gras day, came to an abrupt and unexpected halt when his attorney, G. Wray Gill, waived the insanity hearing and pleaded guilty to murder without capital punishment. Judge J. Arthur Charbonnet, criminal district court, before whom the qualified guilty plea was entered, at once sentenced Johnson to serve the rest of his natural life in the state penitentiary at hard labor.
Some time ago, when Attorney Gill asked for the appointment of a lunacy commission to inquire into the mental status of Johnson, Drs. George F. Roeling, coroner; C. S. Holbeck and J. Glen Smith, that they found Johnson sane and responsible for his acts, although they stated it was their opinion that the prisoner had the mind of an eight-year-old boy.
The shooting occurred in Dauphine Street near Dumaine. In a truck passing by where a group of Tulane Students merry-making. A scote of more colored masks, came along and in some manner not expected them, and the students in the truck. Missles began to fly back and forth and during the melee someone fired a shot which entered Lawrence's body. He died some time later. Johnson was captured and identified as the man who fired the

Claim Klan Seeks To Oppress All Workers
Bv A.N.P.
New York, Sept. 3—Proof that the Ku Klux Klan is an organization of the employing class which directs its activities not only against Negro workers, but against all sections of the working class. Negro and whites, was clearly furnished by a raid of this teem organization upon a camp of working class men, every night, August 28th, at Van Eten, near Elimra, N. Y., according to an announcement from the office of the International Labor Defense.
For several weeks, and especially beginning with the sessions of the First "Investigation Committee" in New York, the Klan has carried on a reign of terror among the children of this working class camp. Last Saturday, August 30, the Klan made an attack, burned a huge cross in front of the camp, brutally beat several children, and kidnapped two of the children's teachers whom they later put under arrest.
This attack was repeated, 1,600 klamms, armed with blackjacks, revolvers, guns, and machine guns, raided the camp and threatened to shoot women and children and completely destroy the camp if the 70 children and 30 adults were to leave the camp. The determined hand-and-gesture protest of the dampers prevented the murders klansmen from carrying out their threat.
The International Labor Defense points out that it is exactly this period when the workers, Negro and white suffering from mass unemployment, their standards of living reduced to strivural level, are resisting being plunged into slavery, the Klu Klux Klan and other terror organizations of the bosses will increase their attacks upon Negro and white workers
The answer of the workers, Negro and white must be an organized and united struggle against the exploiters the Ku Klux Klan, and all other bosses organization of terror and persecution.

Hattiesburg, Miss., Sept. 3. —The fate of a proposed hospital here is in the hands of a special committee appointed by the executive board of the Supreme Lodge of Afro-American Sons and Daughters. The committee, which can authorize building a $60,000 hospital here as soon as 3,000 units are built, is the South Mississippi, is composed of T. J. Hundleston of Yazoo, City, custodian; L. B.

nine Kansas variety, carrying off the porch of the house where Hagar, the grandmother, lives. When the excitement is over, and Hagar knows that her children and grandchild are safe, she looks at, the grotesque porchless house and laughs: "Might ha' been blowed away maself, 'stead o' just my porch, if Jesus hadn't been with us". The laugh and the childlike faith run through the book. The hero is Hagar's grandchild, a little boy when the story opens, and like most books built on this pattern, more interesting than when he begins to grow old enough to wear long trousers and to high school. He has his experiences with the white race, his humiliations at school. He works at the barber's shop and works in the same side of white and colored life, but keeps degen through it all. He likes study and in the end it is his pretty but disreputable aunt who fosters his ambition, telling him, "You got to get your education, Sandy, and amount to something." Turning to the boy's mother who wants the money he could make at work, she says: "Saidy gotta be what his grandma Hagar wanted him to be able to help the black race. Annjee. You hear me? Help the whole race."
AMERICA IN HAITI
BIG BULLY OR BIG BROTH
ER—WHICH?
(By H. L. PRATTIS)
(For Associated Negro Press)
Haiti, under French rule in the last half of the 18th century, was the gem of the Atlantic Ocean. From its harbors at the base of majestic, awe-inspiring mountains we sent rich cargoes to all parts of the world known world-cotton, sugar cane, coffee, indigo, logwood. The wealth of many of the richest families of France had its roots in the fertile soil of what was then Saint Domingue. Slave labor, injured to climate and the rigorous discipline of the master, extracted from the soil these riches.
Again, under the romantic, powerful figure of Christophe, Haiti's first and only king, the builder of La Citadelle, the great fortress, and magnificent Sans Souci palace, the farms in the north of Haiti florished. Hard work brought prosperity.
But the material glory of Haiti is of another day. Against the withering contempt and indifference of the white world, the little black republic fought most fuitily. France exacted an indemnity of 150 million francs before she would recognize or trade with the new owners of her lost colony. The these independent black men, though a thousand of them had volunteered to help our country in its fight for liberty. Thus the trade of Haiti was restricted.
And the leaders of Haiti set for themselves a goal the value of which will always be a subject of debate among Negro people. The attitude of the white world suggested to Haitians that whites did not believe blacks could be the intellectual equals of whites. We shall prove to them that we are agreed the Haitians. Thus it is that themselves scholars to understand the whites. But the farms and trade and business were neglected. Education for such things was ignored.
As a result, the wealth of all Haiti today is scarcely greater than that of the Negroes of New York City and Chicago, if as much. Haiti is a poor, undeveloped country, with most of such business as there is in the hands of foreigners.
But the impression that Haiti is a country where, foreigners may go and easily gobble up wealth with a small investment is false. Haiti seems attractive at first sight because there appears to be a need for almost all the conveniences /that a citizen of the U.S. is accustomed to, and because of the aparent inducement offered by the state and climate. An investor should not be deceived by these first impressions. What are some of the investors in Haiti and what are the realizing on the money? I refer so Americans, the Germans, French, and Syrians, dominate the established routine business of the country. Some Americans follow;
First, the National City Bank. It holds bonds on a crudely constructed, inadequate, and unprofitable railroad. The Haitian government is forced to recognize interest claims on these bonds because of the presence of bitter marines and the control of the Haitian customs by the American government. National Bank also serves as a self-elected repository of Haitian government funds, upon which it pays less than the customary rate of English. This bank is making money because its peculiar activities have had at least the aid and comfort of our government.
Second, the Haitian-American Sugar Company, known as Hascar. This company was organized by a high-powered promoter, Davi Morel, who later promoted Democratic War loss than a million dollars was lost in Davis's experiment with sugar cane and cotton. Work is practically at a standstill now. The undertaking is regarded as a colossal failure.
Third, the California Packing Company. These are the same people who nominate the Hawaiian pineapple industry. They have only recently begun operations of a similar nature in Haiti. They are developing plans to put 5,000 acres in pineapples. Already, they have about 1,200 acres. This Haitian pineapple, of very fine quality, is exported to Europe. The company has the first unit in a factory system at Kapua, where the factory is modern in every respect. It offers attractive employment in a region where work is scarce. The wages are better than the employees might obtain elsewhere. Most of these workers are women. This company hopes to make money, but has not done so yet, despite a large investment and its experience in the field.
Fourth, the Haitian-American Development Company, New York bankers own this enterprise. Their product is sisal from which a very good rope is made. They have acquired near 100,000 ropes and intend to put under cultivation. After operating two years and spending $500,000 their first shipment was made
THE MUSICAL WEST
Conducted By JOHN A. GRAY
Several very interesting articles on the music of the Negro are found in the July issue of the Music Quarterly. "Race values in Aframerican Music" by Paul Pritze Laubenstein, is a scholarly treatise on our music and the article is the best of the thinkers of the race can afford to read. He treats the subject from angles, and gives a scientific diagnosis of every phase of the rise and development of Negro music. Especially interesting are the tables showing the psychological descent of the spiritual and the secular song. In the beginning of his article, Mr. Laubenstein notes certain similarities between the African religion on one hand, and Judaism and a Jewish type of identity on the other, by virtue of its origin in America was enabled to realize some own higher potentialities. He insists that our music cannot be developed to its fullest if it is divorced from our religion.
In closing, he says, "In the past the Negro depended upon his religion to 'keep him from sinking down', and he spoke greater than he knew. Perhaps more than he realizes it, is the Negro's future, musical and other things linked up with that of his religion." Another very fine article is the "Study of Negro Harmony" by Percival R. Kirby.
Mr. Kirby, who has spent many years in South Africa, is well-prepared to analyze and contrast the music of the African and of the American African and that of the American Negro. He shows where the contact with European influences has affected the harmony as well as the melody of our race songs. In many cases the attempt of the native to hitch the harmony of the diatonic scale on to the melody of the pentatonic scale of the numerous instrumental music in North Africa is mostly solo work and the very nature of the instruments used prevents their being employed in ensembles. On the other hand, the vocal music is nearly always performed in group or choral singing. This idea is carried out in the music of the American Negro where the greatest part of the spirituals and folk-songs are intended to be sung by groups. That is why our music loses the most charisma when sung as solos. All of these facts lend strength to the theory that the greatest future development of our music will be through the medium of choral works rather than through that of instrumental.
In the article, "The Musical Aes thetics or Conte De Gobineau" by Andre Coeurou, we have another view of the Negro, which is both complimentary and critical, Mr. Coeurou draws the conclusion that, according to the essays of Comte de Gobineau, if the white race invented laws, instituted discipline or in other words, acted reasonably", then the source of the works of the artists (and principally music) must be alien to the civilizing instincts of the white races, and, consequently, be hidden away in the blood of the black races. To quote de Gobineau, Essay 11, 7, we read:
"Assuredly, the black element is indispensable for developing artistic genius in a race, because we have seen how much fire and flame, enthusiasm and inconsiderateness, dwells within it, and to what extent imagination, that minor of sensuality, along with all the cravings towards matter, make it calculated to be the most important of the arts, in a degree of intensity utterly unknown to the other human families. This is my starting-point, and, if there were nothing more to add, the Negro would certainly stand forth as the lyrical poet, the musician, the sculptor par excellence."
Pine Bluff, Ark. Sept. 3—Wise Allen, 19, was killed when he attempted to steal a valuable milk cow from the Arkansas Negro Boys Industrial School, Nightwatchman T. M. Value, who fired the shot that killed Allen, was exonerated of blame at the coroner's inquest. Allen had served a term at the school, having been paroled recently.

QUESTION WEEK

By the way in which the questions come in, I am led to believe that this feature holds a world of interest for our readers. We are glad of this, and wish each reader to remember that in the first week of each month we answer questions in this your health column. If a question is so personal that you do not wish it answered in this column please send a self addressed and stamped envelope and a personal answer to the same will be sent.
As I write the last statement my eyes fall on a letter beginning this, "Dear Dr. I, have been reading your answers to questions asked in the California Eagle, and I am writing you this, seeking information in retest of your own physical condition," etc. Then follow the condition and her request for a reply, the missive is signed Mrs. A. A. W. and to the writer I say please, just be patient for a few days longer and your letter shall be answered.
That "Pulling Down Feeling"
in "Stomach" Hips and Back.
Question—
I feel very well when I get up in the morning, but after I have been on my feet for a few hours I get a pulling down feeling in all of the lower part of my body. My back aches and I feel terribly nervous. I have an awful tiredness and throbbing in my lower body. I am 53-years old and have had 7 children. What do you think is my trouble."
Mrs. O. S. D.
Answer—
The condition just described suggests a number of causes. No physician can be absolutely certain of the specific cause for symptoms which may be due to variety of conditions. But taking the whole picture, your age, the number of children which you have, the number of symptoms here outlined, one cause stands out in my mind above all others as the possible origin of your distress.
Without seeing and examining you, I should consider that if you have no other symptoms than the above named ones, your trouble is due most likely to the lacerations, stretchings and displacement following child birth. In other words this is what has probably occurred to you. Your children were born in rapid succession, you were in painful surgery after their birth you most likely were. You are indeed, for many years ago even some good doctors did not realize fully the necessity of repairing lacerations. With the perineum or floor of the pelvis torn you returned to work, stood on your feet for hours with no support for your pelvic organs. Of course with no floor to hold them from below, the ligaments above began to stretch and year by year this stretching increased, and the organs one by one began to sag to become prolapse. I should consider that the Bledsoe the Womb and the Vagina are all "pulling" down and these in turn pull on the ovaries and tubes and give that terrible feeling of "pulling-down" and nervousness which is so awfully hard for you to bear."
Mrs. O. S. D. and all other mothers could prevent this condition which afflicts thousands of women past 40 years, if they only would insist on a thorough examination after childbirth, and heed their doctors instructions concerning having a good thorough repair. This makes the floor of the pelvis over new again and prevents the stretching and sagging and prolapse or misplacements downward of the pelvic organs. As long as a woman has a reasonable degree of general health it is NOT too late" to do this repair work, women almost 70 have had it done and feel literally "made over" after the repair is completed.

alty to and support for the principles
of servige and World Brotherhood
for which the Christian Endeavor
Movement stands.
The people of Berlin declared thi
to be the greatest International gath-
ering within a generation. At any rate,
it was sutely an answer to the ringing
challenge of Bishop John A. Gregg,
presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episco-
pal Disttict of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, who had previously
delivered the major address of the
convention on the subject ,'The Call of
Christ to Christian Brotherhood.”
This address was the only radio ad-
dress of the entire convention, and
was broadcast over a nation-wide hook
up,
It was a wonderful setting. Thirteen
thousand eager and anxious souls were
there. The majority of them were
young people, representatives“ of all
nations of the World. ‘who but a few
years ago were engaged in deadly con-_
itfot; now viewing in overtures of
friendship and fellowship; youths who
heard the challenge of the Christ as
interpreted through the world’s needs,
and answered it To such hearts Bishop
Gregg sent his message of a more
practical application of the principles
of ‘christian brotherhood.
There were a few who woncered.
For it was a question fraught with.
possibilities of much harm. It was al-
So a great opportunity for service. In
that great throng were Sooth Africans,
representatives of the Boer idea of the
place of Black People in world pro-
gress. There were white Americans,
700 strong, many from ‘the south, with
their background of enslavement and
discrimination of “blacks. There were
the English, suave, gracious and pro-
testing; yet’ gradually yielding to the
presure of American prejudice. There
were Japanese, Chinese-smarting under
the lash of prejudice. There were oth-
ers too; and only about ten colored
Americansevign tte ad ans
"We--whor were present, are happy to
testify to the intelligence, honesty,
and courage with which Bishop Gregg
discharged his obligations, and met a
delicate situation, It was one of the
greatest opportunities that had come to
ne of our group in recent years, and
the contribution made by Bishop
Gregg is one of the most signal on re-
cord.
"Ali Berlin discussed the speech fav-
orably. The newspapers of the German
Republic added their praise, and the
European editions of the New York
Herald and Chicago Tribune were not
to be outdone. Furthermore, by special
request, Bishop Gregg was photo-
raphed by representatives of the New
York ‘Times for the special use of that
paper. It was as great a triumph as

of August were the Women’s an

forts went over in a big way an
showed progress over last year’s en

The women jurnished_the progran
for the day-on August 17th. Mrs. El
zaheth Edwards, reoently elected Presi

Mrs, Edwards very graciously presid

Lillian Craw. Mrs. Craw will be re
membered as the wife of Rev. Craw
formerly pastor of the «A. M. E
Church at Eighth and Towne Avenue
and she is now a teacher in the public
schools of Kansas City. In her own
lovely way Mrs. Craw delighted. the
audience with a timely treatise on the
women of today.
In the evening, a unique program
was presented. A trip around the world
in an Aeroplane. The plane started
from -the shores of the Pacific, sent
off to the tune of “I love you Califor-
nia" and thenge it made the circuit of
the globe, Madame Louise Beverly
gave a glimpse of Japan in a delight-
ful Japanese Fantasy, the ronsing tune
of the Marsellaise in’ France. ete. un-
til a halt was made on the continent of
Airica to debate the subject} Resolved
that the Negro of Africa it a better
Christian than the American ‘Negro.
The credit for the success of this
program goes to Mrs. Hazel Whitaker,
who worked patiently to make it a
success.
‘The Men out did themselves in ob-
taining outstanding men to speak to

pal speaker. Dr, Page is a noted Div-

His discourse was a rare spiritual and

In the. evening Dr. Cantrell, well

his subject as only one of his exper-
ence and eloquence can do, This diss

‘The Men's Chorus under the leader-
hip of Prof. Chapman was exception
ly good. Mr. Chapman did wonders
vith these men in the short period in
any American has wen abroad.
In his address the, Bishop declared.
“That the church stands indicted be-
fore the non-Christian world as having
failed adequately to represent the spir-
it and teaching if its: Master.” He ex-
pressed the belief in the growing snir-
it of tolerance through such agencies
as the Endeavor thovement and the
many inter-racial commissions, but cal-
led upon the church proper to lead.
“[ maintain,” said he, “that if the
Christian church had not become apo-
logetic (especially in these later years)
but had pursued a vigorous prosecution
of the principles of Christianity as en-
unciated by Jesus Christ Himselt and
as laid down by the founders of the
church that there would be far more
brotherly love or Christian Brother-
hood in the world than there is now.”

Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church—Rev.
T. F. Jones, Pastor:
The services Sunday were up to the usual high standard. Beginning with a splendid attendance at the Sunday school the attendance was good all day.
At the 11 o'clock service, the Pastor preached the sermon using as a subject, "Nheemiah's Prayer." The message was very inspiring. Two united with the church at the morning service.
The Pastor and members of the church attended the quarterly meeting at Ward Chapel in the afternoon. The Junior Endeavor had a splendid meeting. James Green led the meeting.
The Pastor preached again at the evening service, using as a subject "In Prison But Not a Prisoner."
This Sunday will be Dollar Money Day. Every member is asked to pay their Dollar Money to their group leaders who will make reports next Sunday night.
The Pastor will preach at 11 a. m. and at 8 p. m., there will be a special service; each department of the church will be represented. This will be a very unique service. Both the Senior and Junior choirs will sing. Come and worship with us next
SOCIAL-
Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Eggleston have returned from a few weeks' vacation spent in the northern port of the state. During which time they visited Oakland, Marysville and other places of interest. They report having spent a very pleasant vacation. Mr. Eggleston is charister of Grant Chapel A.M. E. church choir and will be back at his post or duty Sunday. Mrs. Blanche Woods has had charge of the choir during his absence.
Mr. Obey, and family, who spent several days in the city visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Buford, 1521 E. 110th street, returned to their home in Phoenix, Arizona last week.
Grading is now being done on East 116th street from Alameda to Central. Paving will soon begin. This street when finished will be one of the scenic thoroughfares of the city as it is to be a part of the Imperial Highway.
"Fun in a Chinese Laundry," a two-act comedy was presented by about 25 young people at Grant Chapel A. M. E. church Tuesday night. Those who were not there certainly missed a treat in this production presented by the young people for they certainly played their parts well. Each one seemed to have fitted exactly the character they represented. Mrs. Margaret Hale and Miss Thelma Miller conducted the play.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE-- You May Never Know It Happened
Monday, September 1 (Labor Day) demonstrated fully the growing popularity of Val Verde Co park and the beautiful San Martinez Canyon. Although no program had been arranged for the holiday and numerous other attractions had been widely advertised; Val Verde experienced one of the largest attendance in its history. Visitors for the day began arriving at 6:00 a.m., and during the previous night delegations after delegations had arrived seeking cabin sites and other lodging accommodations. Many brought tents and other equipment for camping and while many neglected registering there were more than 12 pages taken up with names on the register among whom were some of the most prominent citizens of Southern California and all of whom were of the most desirable class of people.
Following is a list of some of the homes, cottages and cabin sites who entertained friends during the week-end from August 30th to Sept. 2nd.
At the ever popular Bruce home on the East hill, Mrs. H. C. Bruce of West 35th place, Los Angeles, entertained Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Welis, Mr. Frank Fairs, Miss Francis Fairs and Miss Ethel Bruce. All of Los Angeles and Mr. R. A. and Mary Jane Clark of Pasadena.
The Cabins at Casa de Baldwin were taxed to their capacity with visitors from all sections.
Mr. and Mrs. McCauley at their new home entertained Mr. and Mrs. Black or Los Angeles and a stream of visitors inspecting the residence
The Mosley Garden of Joy was kept busy plying to and from Newhail with provisions to satisfy the hunger of the crowds at this well known hostelry.
Among the out-door pleasure parties lunching under the shade of an aged oak were Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Lightner, Hon. E. C. Jennings and wife, also their mother, Mrs. Ann Clanton and Mrs. Fannie Alexander of the Sojourner Truth Home.
Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Driver at their "JOYZ corner" entertained all day and had as dinner guests: Rev. Jas. Jackson and wife, G. W. Mitchell and Mrs. Laura - Mitchell of Pasadena, Calif.; Mrs. Sarah Smith of Los Angeles. They visited the park and community house and from the portico Dr. Driver issued the following appeal: "To my friends and admirers of Val Verde: I hope this Labor Day is the beginning of a prosperous fall. We are happy out here meeting friends. Hurry and come out and join us in beautiful Val Verde.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson W. Burns together with Mr. Samuel Jones and Mrs. Edna Stewart composed a popular quartet, who were taken care of by Messrs. J. H. Mosley and J. M. Vena.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse R. Johnson motored up last week. Among their visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Green of Glassell street, Los Angeles; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Resse of Venice.

Wilmington, Delia, Sept. 3.—The Russ Defense Committee, a committee formed by the citizens of Wilmington, co-operating with the American Interracial Peace Committee, reports the results of its labors for the past seven weeks, in an effort to save Theodore Russ from a legal lynching. All classes and conditions of Negro citizens, all organizations worked together in what was perhaps one of the finest examples of racial solidarity ever seen.
The first effects of the work of the committee was seen in the granting by Governor Buck of a reprieve for Theodore Russ, condemned to die on July 25 for an alleged assault on a

white woman near Viola, Delaware. The reprieve was for twenty-eight days, or until August 22. A delegation of over 200 interested citizens drove to the Governor's home on the night of July 23 and made an eloquent plea for the reprieve, which was granted next day.
The committee, which was immediately formed, was headed by George A. Johnson, principal of the Howard High school, Wilmington, chairman; Miss Pauline A. Young, secretary; Dr. George J. Sykes, treasurer.
The lawyers who were retained on the case were Louis A. Redding, a young attorney of Wilmington, the first colloed man to be admitted to the Deleware Bar, James H. Tunnell, of Georgetown, one of the leading legal lights in the state, and the original attorneys in the case, Thos. Clayton Frame, and his partner, Max Terry of Dover.
Four mass meetings in Wilmington, and as many in the lower part of the state were held, and funds solicited, for the defense of the case. In all the committee raised through popular subscriptions, and contributions from every fraternal organization in the state, Masons, Odd Fellows, Elks, both women and men, and from the churches, the sum of

Motion for a new trial having been refused before the original date for the execution, a hearing was held before the Board of Pardons of the state at which a plea was made for the commutation of sentence to life imprisonment, on the basis of new evidence presented. This new evidence was collected through the help of a trained investigator from New York, recommended by the N. A. A. C. P. The plea was refused. A motion for a new trial before the Court of Oyer and Termine on the day before the execution was also rejected, in spite of the fact of the establishment of the perjury of the principal state's witness.
Russ was executed on August 22. His body was viewed by over 2,500 persons, in Wilmington, before it was shipped to his home in Viola, where it was viewed by hundreds from the surrounding country. Feeling is tense SEVENTEEN - L. S. at the legal lynching of a man for the theft of a jug of liquor.

EDITORIAL PAGE
The following Editorial from the Daily News issue of September 2nd, unfolds the fact that the barbarity of American people, is even more outstanding than the savages of any section of the earth and but confirms our contention for many years that "like begets like" and surely if the thing is not curbed this country will eventually become the very lowest of the lowly.
Perhaps, however, with our President coming forth strongly condemning the lynchers and mobbists a better day is dawning and we are in for a regeneration of the savages, murderers and cut-throats including women and young girls who belong in the category mentioned.
CAUSTIC COMMENT OF SOUTHERN CRITICS
"The lynching of two Negro youths in Marion, Indiana, is the subject of much critical comment in the press of the South where statistics show mob law of this character is gradually but steadily on the decline. Following the recent outrages in Texas, which the old South regards more of the West than of the South, southern comment is that lynching is no longer a distinctively southern form of crime. Race riots such as those following Negro outrages in Chicago and other northern cities, are peculiarly Northern. Says the Nashville Banner of the Marion affair: 'The South seeks vengeance on only the parties who committed the crime. It has been repeatedly observed in cities in the North and East, as in this Indiana case, that a spirit of race antagonism comes into action that seeks to vent itself on all the Negroes living in the locality where the trouble originates.' Lynching, north and south, is still a blot on national morals. We send missionaries to preach the gospel of brotherhood and kindness to far barbarous portions of the earth, where such monstrous inhumanities as burning at the stake have never been known."

If one of the objectives of a community is to develop the home owning possibilities and to secure new residents, there should be capitalization on the natural assets and other favorable conditions which abound here in Los Angeles.
Up-to-date facilities of all kinds, either at hand or in the making, play an important, interesting, and profitable role during the early stages of the program.
The advent of industrial enterprises, provided they do not come too quickly, or before the community house has been placed in order, tends to stimulate to a marked degree, home development.
Communities that seek newcomers new residents usually place their communities in order and keep them as nearly in order as possible all of the time.
What is Los Angeles doing along these lines? Have we tried to check unfavorable tendencies that may retard our attractiveness as a residence city?
There are many valuable selling aids which we possess here in Los Angeles which should play their part in residence development. These aids do not and should not interfere with the development of our commerce and our industry.
Have we, here in Los Angeles, given consideration to the appeal or the appeals which will create new residents for this wonderful city?
Conventions will try any community once and they will not feel greatly disappointed if the things offered and promised are not delivered. One can be sure, however, that, that particular convention gathering will not again visit the particular city for many years if the citizens fail in their promises.
Tourists will pass and merely smile at bombastic claims which cannot be proven when once on the ground.
Home seekers, new residents, are in earnest. They expect what promised. A home builder depends upon what is offered to be as represented. If one disappoints him one makes unfriendly forever and a day someone who might have become a part and parcel of the community.
If one's analysis of a community brings forth the fact that one of the chief objectives is the newcomer, then that objective should be promoted in earnest, on a sound economic basis.
We must not over look the fact that jobs and financial assistance will be vastly more important than climate and scenery in obtaining newcomers to Los Angeles.
While these latter are desirable and often enjoyable, it is impossible to live on them as an exclusive diet.
Communities that cannot offer tangible things cannot take care of more people and absorb them.
Is not this another phase of our local situation that deserves the best thought of our people in its solution?

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened
W. J. WIHEATON
Knowledge is earthly, of the mind, but wisdom is heavenly, of the soul, wrote Tennyson. Knowledge, the Negro has, but of wisdom, there is a doubt. We have a knowledge of the many barriers confronting the race in the upward march. We know that there are many obstacles, which are visible, to overcome; Yet there seems to be a lack of wisdom in the conduct of the campaign to obtain the ultimate. Is it that the race contains too many visionaries? That we subordinate the practical methods of sane analysis to florid oratory? Or are we being "kidded" into the belief that we are full grown when only able to "stand alone." We "demand" a place in the economic life of the nation; a share in the industrial activities, but what is the contribution. We've been a tribe of "apers." Had heads in the clouds and feet in morass. It has been a three ring show without a ringmaster. If every Negro was today to take stock and analyze himself without prejudice he would conjure with some of us that there was something vitally wrong and that, that wrong lay within himself. The men who aspire to be the Moses of the Negro; to lead his people out of the morass and wilderness of false pretense, are negligible. Take from them the emoluments of "leadership and the flock" is soon forgotten. There is no tendency among them to sacrifice either time or fortune. If a "Ghandi" should come forth uttering words of wisdom he would soon be discountenanced by the men of knowledge. Unless there was catering to the ideas of the ultra intellectuals he would be sneered at as an ignorantus or a visionary. This generation has not forgot how they condemned the late Booker T. Washington. Now, the wolf has accepted his theory of education. He was sincere: Today, we have a lot of demagogical parasites in the ranks of religion and fraternal and political life that would sell to the highest bidder their birthright, and with it, the birthright of their brothers, for the "mess of pottage." Hasten the day when we will have a leadership; with wisdom of the soul, HEAVENLY.
This comment is from "TIME" a weekly magazine of August 25th. It says, "Negro Baptists are 5th largest group of religious bodies in the United States, and that Dr. Lacy K. Williams, president of the Negro Nationalist Baptist is pastor of the largest Protestant Church in the world. In a recent convention 50,000 delegates met in Chicago. They thronged the streets. They filled the Coliseum. They conducted a "grand musicale" (1,000 choristers). Street parades and athletic carnivals at Soldiers field at the lake front. A "Jubilee pageant of progress" (2,000 participants). Quite visible were the delegates in Chicago, yet not one important white Chicago daily paper reported their activities. Negroes attributed that silence to a definite cause." Is not that "definite cause" obvious? Just reflect a moment and analyze the situation. There is in Chicago today one of the greatest problems of the times. Unemployment, with its attendant sequence of crime and lawlessness, challenges the social structure. Many of those Negro delegates and others who came from the states South were lured by the tales of personal freedom and other opportunities. They come without adequate means to tide them through the period of settlement, and they become the wards of charitable organizations or drift off in the stream of crime to become a menace to society. This promiscuous influx of migration instead of becoming a benefit to the migrant will be a menace to the industrial situation. It will cause a situation heretofore foreign to the locality. We sought to induce a young man, physician, to hang out his shingle in a western town. "They need more in Georgia than they do in that place," he said. I guess that he was right. If our ambitious politicians; our avaricious preachers, and the others who prey on the credulous were honest they would decry all efforts of Negro migration to over congested districts.
Two tragedies of the "prize ring" following closely one on the other have aroused the ire of California citizens who deplore the effect such exhibitions have on the morale of the social life by inciting the killer instinct. In the last tragedy men and women in their seats, screeching and screaming as one of the gladiators beat the other to death. Indignant citizens demand the revocation of the law that legalizes fighting. Looked at from the angle of competition it was not so much the unleashing of a brutal instinct as was from the desire to win. Participants in the game are not to blame, it is the patron. Pit two boxes of skill and no difference how scientific the exhibition they would be "boohed." What the fight fan of today wants is a "knockout." The brutal element has been developed but not alone by the prize ring. It is a common occurrence in some sections of the United States, especially in the South to see men, women and even little children, screaming screeching and dancing about the charred remains of some poor unfortunate who had been selected as a victim to their bestial appetites. Men and women, with babies in their arms, dance in impish fantacles as they follow the mutilated body of some black wretch towed through the streets. That sort of bestiality has been going on for decades. It is growing worse as the years pass. It can be stopped, but the nation has not, so far, produced a leader TO STOP IT.
This column is finished at the State Fair, Sacramento. We gave the old lady "Stearns" plenty for consumption and lubrication. Then, by keeping on the right side of the road, reached the capital city in splendid time and good shape. There were in this party Harry and Mrs. Williams, the two little Williams, Viola and Harry Wheaton, and Mrs. W. J. This year the Fair was bigger and better than ever. No one who has not had visual opportunity to note the diverse products of the State can form an intelligent idea of its great potentialities. The natural resources are stupendous. Its products reach throughout the civilized world and are noted for quality. Always interesting is the educational exhibit. Some of the products of manual art are worthy to be classed as master pieces. Hours could be spent with profit in this exhibit alone. To the student boy or girl it is an inspiration to aspire. We run across Joe Foreman, his affable wife and daughters. It was no doubt difficult to programme the day. What with ladies deciding for the Women's building or the art exhibits, Joe would have to forego a visit to the Stock Show and the fat pigs. It was a good natured throng of 50 or 60 thousand and if once you were separated, good bye: We met Orange Dixon, and was grieved to hear of the demise of Mrs. Dixon, who was an affable and admirable woman of character. We counted her among our friends. You see many amusing things. Yonder, under that wisp of shade is a female of goodly proportions from the country. She has removed shoes and hosiery and every other thing lawful and is seeking surcease from the boiling sun. There is only enough shade to protect her head, but like the Ostrich with its head in the sand, she imagines the rest. Go to the State Fair. Take the children; it's an education.

**LYNCHING MOVING UP**
The picture of a lynching scene which we could have easily expected in Florida has been presented on Indiana soil. It is said that due to the vacation the sheriff and the peace officers of the town of Marion, Indiana, two prisoners were taken from the county jail and lynched.
Since the election of President Hoover lynching has increased in the United States, and as far as our Republican administration is concerned, it has been a case of "On with the Lynching," with not a word of protest from our president until a few days past when we read that the President has finally lynched the lynch evil in the following "Every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy."
The depths to which Republicanism can fail is indicated by the attitude of the Republican convention of Alabama when it practiced lynching. Senator Thomas J. Heffin, who deserted his party when Al Smith ran for the presidency.

represented in the League but to command to the notice of our organization the penetrating, inspiring and constructive efficiency with which he has launched the League upon a program of creative achievement in a field of practical accomplishment unparalleled in the history of the League. I shall refer again to the specific project which he has undertaken. I wish to hope that him at this point the whole-hearted support of every member of the League in this enterprise which promises to be of large and lasting results in the development of Negro business.
THE PRESENT DEPRESSION
We are meeting at a time when the tide of American business is at the ebb. Following a period of remarkable expansion and unparalleled prosperity, those most familiar with the situation tell us that we have seen the worst, that we are at the turn of the tide and that we may expect a steady and even rapid swing upward in recovery, in which every phase of business will have its proper share.
The reverses encountered have been severe and it is note-worthy that the word "panic" has passed out of our commercial vocabulary. The worst name applied to the situation is depression; nobody has lost his head or heart; nobody has stamped; in the words of Kipling, referring to success and failure, we have learned to "treat those two imposters just the same."
Whatever the future brings, we are near enough to the worst to profit by our experiences and to learn certain fundamental lessons which will be valuable for all time. Whatever the cause of recent economic depression, its effect upon the Negro was felt first in the form of unemployment, a general symptom which manifests itself and sometimes most severely among our own people. In times of depression it is the Negro workman who is first to lose his job, and other things being equal, the last to find a new one or to return to his old place. This will probably be true as long as Negro labor competes with white labor and the employers are of the white race. The only way to offset this disadvantage is to create fields of employment within our own race by the development of business enterprises operated and controlled by our own people.
THE NEGRO'S POWER
From what Mr. Holsey has told us the largest hope in this direction as things stand today is in the field of merchandising. The Negro population of America represents a definite volume of consumption. The process of buying on every day. There are no economic or social laws to prevent a considerable portion of this business from being handled by people of our own race. It depends upon our capacity for initiative, organization and sustained co-operation.
As matters stand today, the Negro's greatest economic leverage is in his buying power. This power is in his own hands and almost beyond the possibility of external control. We have already seen that our political power is largely controlled by external factors but our buying power is within our own hands and may be a considerable factor in determining this matter of employment by our own people other than to show our Negroes may become a factor to be reckoned with. I have in my mind at the moment a community in which Negroes represent a considerable element of
nnection with the League and in every instante he has been successful in convincing those concerned of the soundness of the undertaking. He turns now to the League and asks the co-operation of its individual members on the basis of tangible results that have been accomplished and soilie support on the basis of achievements that are already demonstrated. I want to give my endorsement of his recommendations and express the hope that results attained will secure a printed copy of the report which he has made to us today and read it with painstaking care as a summary of constructive achievement that warrants the unreserved encouragement of the National Negro Business League.
Wehave to learn the value and ways of co-operative enterprise. Democracy places strong emphasis on the rights of the individual but our present day society tends more and more towards the elimination of the individual as a separate entity and to magnify his value as a unit in cooperative endeavor. In our struggle for progress in modern civilization we must and more bring to our air forces that are representative of collective activity. This is true in politics, it is even more true in business.
As things stand today the individual has little or no power in the economic struggle; he is but the tool in the control of large units. The only way to compete successfully in this struggle is to learn the ways of collective effort and use them for constructive achievement. This means that beyond a certain limit individual ambitions must be sacrificed for the common enterprise. It means that individual failures must not make us lose faith in the possibilities of the group. It means that a certain percentage of failure is inevitable and by the same law a larger percentage of success is certain to crown continuous effort.
We are in the midst of a large struggle. As a race we have been suddenly launched into the midst of a civilization that has been progressementum of of more than a thousand years of successful achievement. To take our place in this movement will require steady and persistent effort. There will be no short cuts to success. There will be no trick ways to achievement. Hard work, persistent effort, personal sacrifice, unceasing thrift, uniting effort, patience, simplicity, honesty, integrity, reliability, skill and intelligence are the factors which, alone, will give us an increasing participation in the equality of opportunity, the brotherhood of achievement and the freedom of enjoyment for which our country stands.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 30.—After recommending a sanity examination, Magistrate Allmond placed Adella Nicols under a peace bond at a hearing in its office on a charge of threatening to kill Marion Davis, a neighbor.
According to the testimony, the accused is a follower of the occult and in attempting to cure her neighbor's "well temperament," placed a mixture of salt and sulphur on the doorstep of Davis.
This was not entirely appreciated by the inmates who upbraided the woman, whereupon, she made the alleged threats.
Gunman Goes On Rampage; Is Killed

Newark, N. J., Sept. 3—Smith Bray went on a rampage in a tenement house here Monday night and after he had killed one man and wounded a police lieutenant and a woman, he was himself killed.
wered a h502 tshr odliunil r
'Lieutenants' Rowe and Carrigan answered a hurry-up call to the house and there found Bray standing over the body of A. Roberts, whom he had slain. When the officers crashed through the door, Bray fired on them and Rowe fell to the floor wounded.
The maddened man rushed at Carrigan, pressed his revolver in the officer's stomach and pulled the trigger, but the gun was empty. The officer shot him in a struggle and as he fell to the floor, emptied his gun into his body. Rowe's conditions is not serious. In an adjoining room they found Bray's estranged wife lying on the bed, suffering from bullet wounds, which she said were inflicted by her husband. She further told the officers that Bray and Roberts had quarrelled over a card game.
Drowned While Floating on a Log

the buying population; the merchants of that community freely admit that their Negro patronage furnishes the margin of profit in their business and as a result they are very solicitous to gain and encourage the patronage of this element of the community. Wisely directed and intelligently developed, we are in a position to off-set many of the hazards of unemployment, not only in times of depression but in the height of prosperity by the organization of the world's buying operative constructive operation. The business que has the opportunity to point the way in these matters toward progressive achievement with tangible results.
I have already said that unemployment is but a symptom of a deeper malady which among employers, themselves, is called business depression. The life of business is the circulation of trade. When people stop buying, business dies. The problem of business is to maintain a continuous, stable, or expanding volume of trade. It is essential in sound business procedure to keep our products within the current of trade circulation. If for any reason the commodities which we have get out of the main currents of commerce and get into the eddies and back-washes of trade the almost inevitable result will be stagnation and death. This is true whether we deal in stocks and bonds or in cotton and potatoes, whether first and second. mortgages or the simple commodities of labor. When demand slackens the danger of collapse increases and hundreds and even thousands of business men can testify to the consequences.
Only a few days ago I read of more than seventy thousand cases of bankruptcy docked in the courts that have not yet come up for disposition. Only recently, we have felt once more within our own race the disastrous effects of the operation of this law; in one city within a period of two weeks, three of our banks were closed. The reason was not dishonesty as in some other cases, but "stagnation." In this case it was called "frozen assets," that to say, the security interests it fortified were invested in commodities for which at the time there was no market; the result was a cessation of operations and an inevitable and dollars and cents but also of congrettable loss, a loss not only of constructive business enterprises, and finally of general confidence which is the hardest of all to replace.
THE DEMANDS OF MODERN BUSINESS
Out of it all we gather some practical lessons. First that business calls for intelligence, and skill equal to that demanded by any of the so-called learned professions; that economic progress involves not only saving but a wise and discriminating investment of funds.
We have a great many organizations among our people that are fast accumulating surpluses. This is particularly true of our international organizations. There is almost as much huzard to these funds when they lie idle as when they are injudiciously invested. It becomes increasingly manifest that as a race, we are in need of the intelligence, the capacity and the experience to employ these accumulated resources in ways both to safeguard their security and at the same time to use them for constructive service in the development of the economic interests of our people. This is a large undertaking and offers an important field of usefulness to energetic and ambitious young men among us who are not afraid of hard work and who will not mistake the glamor of public acclaim for the more modest satisfactions of substantial achievement and persistent endeavor.
Let me refer once more to the report of our Secretary. For two years we have watched the development of a significant enterprise in Negro business, or rather in the Negro's participation in American business. In a sense, the movement is not to be qualified by the word Negro. It represents an approach to economic problems along characteristically American lines. The methods used are such as are in operation all around us. The processes employed are typical of progressive developments throughout the field of modern business. It is the effort to employ these methods and processes to the solution of our own particular problems and in that direction it has thus far met with notable success. It discloses to us that when we get down to real business methods the color line is but incidental. It demonstrates that if we have a commodity to sell, the merits of which are within our own knowledge and the possibilities of which we can demonstrate for ourselves, there is a macket for these goods which makes no discrimination of color.
In this movement we have the evidence that it is possible to penetrate into commercial circles which we have thought were hitherto preempted for the exclusive occupation of the white man, and that once entered upon, we can secure co-operation not upon the basis of sympathy, but adorning to the extent of the economic possibilities that are involved.
Another interesting phase of this movement is the fact that it has been carried, on without any commitments from the League, itself, Mr. Holsey has entered into community after community and secured the co-operation of of those individuals whose interests were at stake regardless of their con-

IT IS TO be hoped the Hudkins Mc Vey scandal will not hurt the boxing game, but after all who is to blame for a frame-up? It is not the "diver" although, it is pretty rotten to agree to "flop." It is not the proposed "winner" for as a rule he is the last one let in on the deal. The manager of the fighter who is to lose is the guiltiest party of all, for he is supposed to guide and direct his protege for his best interests, protecting his reputation at all times. Any boxer or his manager might accept a soft touch if the other side offers to lay down and even if they suggest the "doing business" they can not compel the other side to accept it.
New York Aviatrix Thrills the Elks
(By: A. N. P.)
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 3.—Thousands or members of the antlered herd, headed by J. Finley Wilson, in convention here, were thrilled by the parachute leap made by Mary Doughtry. New York aviatrix. The leap was made from a plane piloted by Charles E. James, who recently accepted the position as pilot of the Amsterdam News plane, Wednesday afternoon at the state fair grounds. James and Miss Daughtry, who boasts of being the only aviatrix of color, arrived here Sunday at Packard Flying Field and were preet ed by a distinguished group of local citizens and visitors.

Negro Athletes Show Superiority as U. S. Wins from Britain
(By: A. N. P.)
Chicago, Sept. 3.—Four sons of Colored America thrilled an enthusiastic assembly of 40,000 spectators Wednesday night in Soldiers Field when the United States defeated Great Britain in a spectacular international track meet, marked by the toppling of hitherto impregnable records.
The black bys who raced into the calcium white light, spurred on by the frenzed cheering of their Superior White Fellow Citizens, were Eddie Tolan, the diminutive speed demon of the University of Michigan possessor of the world and national record for the 100-yard dash, and joint-possessor of the world record for the 100-meter sprint; John Lewis, superb quarter miler from the University of Detroit; Ralph Metcalf, owner of the junior national record for the 100-yard event; and Phil Edwards, American half-mile champion. Each of these boys outran the members of "the superior race" pitted against him. From the minute Tolan raced in, eleven yards ahead in his lap of 400-yard relay, the impression was made that whenever a black boy ran, he was to be a winner.
The composite mind of the white and black spectators was concentrated on what a certain black boy would do. Tolan's phenomenal feats have made a prepared stage for him wherever he appears. Before the meet took place, most writers conceded the British an edge because of their supremacy in the track events. If the United States was to win the meet, it was felt that it would be necessary to snatch at least one track victory. The fate of the United States was placed in the balance against defeat in the 400-yard relay. The anchor man, or chief runner in that relay, was little Eddie Tolan. Upon his chunky legs rested the hope of American white supremacy on track athletics.
But more than that even was carried by the Michigan Flyer. Of the four black athletes who participated in the meet, three, Tolan, Metcalf and Lewis, were members of the American team; and one, Edwards, was a member of the British outfit. Great Britain's athletes, all of them, were quartered as a team at the Medinah Athletic club. America's athletes, all of them except the black ones, were lodged at the Illinois Athletic club. The black Americans were sent to a colored hotel.
The reader of this article must give full value to the bigness of this international meet in order to realize how cruel and unfair that discrimination was. Here were black boys who were expected to and did win in all their events against the best athletes of the English-speaking world. They were to compete for THEIR country, for the glory of white as well as black.
Yet for two days prior to the meet, these boys were segregated. Phil Edwards, running for Great Britian, was not so discriminated against.
Efforts were made to induce Tolan not to run. He said that he would go through with it on the advice of his mother.
For the sake of contrast, let us lay over against this cruel inside act of prejudice on the part of whites, their outside, expressed emotions as heard in Soldier's Field.
Picture, if you can, this great stadium, large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people. Observe the spectators, looking like saints, finding their way to their seats. Listen to them talk. On the field a few of the athletes scamper. As they come out of the gates leading to their dressing room, thousands of
LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1930
eyes seek out favorites. Opinion is bandied about. They talk about Tolan, Tolan, Tolan. Then Simpson.
It was time for the great meet to start. The field is cleared. Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago is introduced. He in turn introduces William R. Castle, Jr., acting Secretary of State, who represents President Herbert Hoover at the meet. Upon "International Athletics and World Peace" he speaks. The intern national athlete (even, little brown Tolan) he avers, is a great force for world peace. As Toian listens to the grand words, he must be thinking of the insult he has suffered and must be forced to bear.
Mr. Castle is finished. As a band plays the "Star-Spangled Banner" the crowd arises and an American flag is raised at the right center of the field. The musicians next play "God Save the King." The Americans remain standing, sing "My Country 'Tis of Thea," and an Englishman raises the British Flag.
The heralds sound their trumpets. Out from a gate at the far southern corner came the civilian leaders of the British athletes, including friendly-looking Phil Edwards, dressed differently from any of the others.
After a respectable interval, the Fife and Drum Corps, a smart aggregation of the Chicago Board of Trade, comes into the parade, followed by the citizen supporters of the meet for the United States. Then the United States athletes. The first coloured athlete in the line is John Lewis.
"That's Tolan," the whites whisper, while marveling at the smooth, black muscles of Lewis.
But it was not Tolan and Tolan was not in line. Two others were: Ralph Metcalf, and Gus Moore of the Brooklyn Harriers. Tolan was kept out so that he would be fresh for the first big event, the 400-yard relay. The other athletes paraded around the field twice to the accompaniment of deafening cheers.
It was time for the first race. The names or the British participants have been announced. "For the United States," says the announcer, "they will run in the following oder: First, Sweet of California; second, Leland, of Texas Christian University; third, Simpson of Ohio State, and fourth TOLAN of Michigan."
The capitals are mine, but the emphasis behind them belongs to the announcer. At the mention of Tolan's name, the crowd burst into a mighty demonstration.
The race is on. Forty thousand frenzied fans are on their feet. Sweet is outrun by a small margin; Leland fails to make it up; Simpson gains two yards, and passes the baton to the black speedster.
Oh, what a flash! His black legs are the movements of a fine watch. "Look at that form," mumbles a spectator. "Go, nigger, go," yells another. How he does go. In the first fifty yards he has gained five yards on the white Britain. He does not relax up he picks them and down he lays them. Eight yards ahead, nine, ten, eleven. The powder of the giant cameras explodes and flashes in his face. He turns to face the crowd for which he has clinched victory. Mighty shouts greet him. What a man! America has won the first race. The black boy, not good enough to stay with his fellow athletes, has carried his country to glory. As he listened to the torrent of cheering, what must have been on his mind? How sweet his thoughts must have been! How full of joy his heart?
In the mike relay, Lewis, another not so good American, repeated. Around the track he sped, black shining, beautiful, to win his lap. "Thepe goes the South African," explained one of the white Americans as Lewis flashed by. "Look at the nigger come," said another.

How sweet Lewis must have felt!
How full of joy his heart!
Then Phil Edwards, running the third 880-ward section of the two-mile relay. This is Phil Edwards, married to a German girl, captain of the New York University track team, and American half-mile champion. Edwards comes from British Guiana.
Even horses are susceptible to soft hands and kind petting as a reward for strenuous efforts.
Ervast, summer meet champ is no exception. Kid North says the meet now closed has been a big success.
Plans are all rounded into shape for a big winter season.
White Sox Park Remodeled for Winter Season
In order to accommodate the large crowds expected to attend the Winter League games opening next month, Joe Pirrone, father of winter baseball and owner of White Sox Park has his crew of colored workmen going top speed building added improvements and greater facilities and conveniences for his well appreciated patrons.
He is running for Great Britain. America has picked up a lead in the first two laps. Phil grasps the baton and is off. His stride is long, easy. It is the plosion of a great engine. Lap one has been completed and Phil and Beetham for the United States are running neck and neck. Faster grows Phil's stride and faster speeds the white boy in a bold challenge. But his effort is futile. Edwards literally bursts away. He leads by five yards, ten, fifteen. He turns over the baton to the anchor runner of the British team with a thirty-yard advantage.
"I don't see how he can run for England and go to an American school," mutters a white American. Edwards must have felt proud of what he had done for his country and his race. He had not been segregated, insulted.
Because it was necessary to save Tolan for one of the 220-yard sprints of the mile medley relay, he did not run in the special invitation 100-yard dash. But Ralph Metcalf, another black boy, did. And he won it, for his race and for America. The thousands rose and cheered him, ignorant and unmindful of the back-room insult that had been given to Metcalf and his race.
America won the imposing meet, nine event to five for the British. Her black boys stood out as a shining unit. They made glory for their country and their race.
But it insulted as they were, they had refused to run? Would the Negro race have lost more than it would have gained by an outstanding show of self respect? Was the glory of winning worth more than the opportunity to indicate in a big convincing maneuver his high determined resentment against any and all means employed to discriminate against him in "the land of the 'free'?"
