It was formally dedicated on Sundav afternoon, Feb. 6, at 3 o'clock, under the direction of Deputv D G. Derrv, assisted by members and officers of the lodge. A programme befitting the occasion was well rendered. The Mayor or the city was present in person, and made a short address. The lodge feels much complimented, as it was the first time that the Mayor has appeared in person at any affairs of this nature given by our group. C. A. Jamieson, that grand old man, who is chairman of the building committee, presented the key of the building to the Deputy for the dedication, after a few well-timed remarks. After the dedication, the Deputy turned the home over to Exalted Ruler T. E. Graham, who formally accepted it, with appropriate remarks. In conclusion, Hon. Wm. C. Mathews made the closing remarks. He not only congratulated the lodge for the grand achievement but also laid considerable stress on the coming young American Negro. For the benefit of our readers, we have published it in full. Mizpah Temple, an auxiliary to the lodge, who will be the only organization to occupy quarters and share the comforts of the home, were present in large numbers, and by the smile on their faces seemed to be as much, if not more pleased than the "Bills." They looked swell in their new white flannel uniforms, and added much to the beauty of the occasion. The house committee, under direction of Thos. M. Jackson, had the hall beautifully decorated. This occasion is one long to be remembered, as it was up to Athens Lodge to make history for the whole Pacific coast. It is a mile stone that generations yet to come can reer to with pride, and the name of Athens Lodge will go down in history as the pioneer hall builders. The place was packed to overflowing, notwithstanding inclement weather. It is the intention of the house committee to have another public day, in order to give all who did not have a chance to see this beautiful home. Grand Exalted Ruler, Officers and members of Athens Lodge No. 70, I. B. P. O. E. of W., Ladies and gentlemen: In coming here today to dedicate this beautiful nome the question arises. What does this Dedication Mean to each one of us as Elks and as Citizens? If I had the gift of the immortal Lincoln, I might be able to take the injustices, the suffering, the struggling, the capabilities and the hopes of our race and from them, in construct in his English, in an address which might be enduring as his famous Gettysburg speech. This address, however, has not yet, nor will soon be equaled by mortal man. As Elks, brothers—we have come here today to dedicate and consecrate this Elk's Home to the ideals of our order—Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity, and upon these basic principles not only rests the Order of Elkdom, but likewise the security of Christian civilization. The presence in every Elk Lodge of the Holy Bible and the American Flag is ample evidence that the Cardinal principle of the great Fraternity is Christian, American citizenship. To be a good Elk, one must be a good Christian and a good American citizen. We must give unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's and unto God the things that are God's. As a striking example of the exemplification of the principles of Elkdom, permit me to take you back two years ago to the Annual Convention at Richmond, Virginia. Many people feared that the Elks and their friends might suffer certain indignities in the old Capitol of the Confederacy, but undaunted and unarraid, the Elks assembled in great numbers and was their conduct such as was their behavior that Richmond vied with Colorado Richmond to make the city hospitable for the visitors. The Richmond Daily papers featured the Convention on its front pages and in its every day editorial column. The Governor of the State, in person, the Mayor of the City and the President of the Chamber of Commerce stood with bared heads, three hours in the broiling sun to review the magnificent parade of 25,000 Elks. There are many things that I might tell you about that convention but time will not permit; suffice it to say that the City of Richmond saw fit to remove all jim-crow signs from the street cars, so as not to embarrass its guests, and finally, on the day the convention, the Richmond Daily said, editorially, the City of Police had been presented that although there 50,000 Elks and friends in the City, it was by far the most orderly and well behaved crowd that ever held a convention in Richmond, black or white Brother Exalted Ruler! It is to foster the same kind of citizenship here in this city and state of wonderous opportunity that we are today dedicating this, our Elks' Home. Together with the school and church, with the home and social centers, we are reconsecrating ourselves to the task of preparing our youth and ourselves for reciprocal union with society. That is the general trend and aim of all education. We are very solicitous that our people do nothing to retard community development. And, therefore my friends, when we know we do not offend in that particular, when we know that our contribution to the lift and beautification of the district in which we reside, is on a go with other citizens, then we must insist that the "door of hope" we closed to us and our children. We greatly deplore that there has been grown up a practice of covainting to exclude persons of our race from highly improved and select races solely because of their color. No doubt, these ill advised persons think that they are improving their property and as they claim, maintaining the high American Standard of living, on the contrary, they are doing a very undemocratic and unAmerican thing and are creating a situation for which their children will look back upon them with disgust and shame. Young America, as evidenced in the recent conference held in Minnesota, is getting sick and ashamed of the silly prejudice which has been rammed down its throat by former generations. Young America is every day repudiating it. President Coolidge rightly says that those who practice racial prejudice NO.20 dices and religious bigoty testify to their own ignorance and unfitness for high citizenship. My good friends and brothers, form your own sub-divisions and throw them open to the world—make them a credit to the municipality and a hundred years from today they will be valuable property because it will not be hampered and clouded by covenants which the law says cannot be broken. In the heart of St. Louis, is a beautiful sub-division, Van Dervet Park, killed by covenants—it is a drug on the market—the owners are land poor when they might be wealthy if their forefathers had not been selfish and ignorant. The acquisition of this home and making it a creditable spot in your city, sets a standard which can be copied by the individual member and citizen. Our Grand Exalted Ruler, in his New Year Proclamation, said that "New Homes have been dedicated nearly every week since the Cleveland Convention." Thus, Brothers, we see that the spirit of home owning is rife in the land. Brother Chdirman, Exalted Ruler, officers and Brothers, it has been my good fortune to observe Elks' homes from coast to coast, from Portland, Maine, to San Diego, California, and I can confidently assure you that you have the best equipped, most adequately adapted home that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. I congratulate Athens Lodge No. 70, —may you, like the Grecian city from which you take your name, be a beacon light to prosperity, sending down its good influence through all across and may Charity, Justice. Brotherly love and Fidelity ever find an abiding place with you. MIZPAH TEMPLE, NO.18 Miznah Temple No. 18, Daughter Ellks, has been making a steady stride towards growth for the past year, under its present very affable Daughter Ruler, Daughter Lottie Razdell, with her faithful corps of officers, until now, comfortably quartered in the beautiful lodge room of the Elks' Home, with all its surrounding appointments, that bespeak taste, pride, and comfort, we are all contented and happy. At no time in the history of our lodge—and soon we will have lived twenty years—has the outlook been more encouraging, our future more promising than now. Many names of desirable acquisitions are being presented for membership. Those having affiliation, and wish your name presented, call Fillmore 7987 or Thornwall 3748, and you will be taken care of. A large class awaits initiation. The Daughter Ruler, with all of her daughters, shows that she has the interest of the Temple at heart and earnestly works for its development. Let us keep the lodge room radiant with light of sisterly love, taith in ourselfs faith in each other, good-will to all, don't forget the Valentine dance Don't forget the Valentine dance on Monday evening at the Home— Daughter Mabel Derrick, chairman.

EDITORIAL PAGE EDITORIAL PAGE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1927 Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, and died April 14th. 1865. Perhaps no President of this country was ever called upon to assume a task more difficult than that that devolved on this chief executive. How well he performed that task a grateful and united country testifies. The magnitude of the problem that confronted Lincoln would have appalled a timid man, but Lincoln seemed to have a grasp of problems confronting him, and moved cautiously before proceeding along any policy, his task being to save the Union, and no doubt this man of sorrows was beset at times with conflicting emotions, when several factions were approving and disapproving of various measures put forward to save the Union. The greatest debates in the history of this country were those of Lincoln and Douglas, and perhaps in those speeches is a reflection of the character of this great man on the subject of human slavery and their application to later day problems. "A house divided against itself shall not stand," a declaration that is both scriptural and self-evident in the application made by Lincoln: "I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." These words were prophetic, and ring true today and if the spirit of the great emancipator is hovering over this republic, it will caution his --- as second class matter, under an Act at 1276 Seventh St., Oakland (ee).....$1.00 (ee).....$2.00 paper by noon on Saturday will please publication must be in the office by noon Subscribe Through Our Agents: 42 Divisadero street, San Francisco 4 Regley place, San Francisco 464 Walnut St., San Francisco 616 C.

Well, Old Man Meddler in the Western Appeal, is emphatically against calling a convention of branches of the N.A.A.C.P., on the ground of expense, and the benefits to be derived would be of doubtful value. While there is much merit in the contentions of the old man, we must not lose sight of the main object—to get the race together on some concrete plan to combat the common enemy. Each community has its local problems which local leaders can work out. But what about the big problems, of residential segregation, discrimination in the civil service, and in our schools? As far as spending money for conventions is concerned, we are going to spend it anywav, and talk of buying a business block r a block of stock in the transcontinental railroad sounds good and we have heard that talk the last thirty years or more, and in all that time our manhood rights have been slipping from us. We must make this country safe for every citizen and then our blocks of buildings will be safe—when we acquire them. Meddler, we thank you. It is started. Not long since an organization in San Francisco complained to the city authorities about a resort on Sutter street. The complaint was referred to the police depart- ment and after an alleged investigation they gave the resort a clean bill of health, completely repudiating the contention of the the orgalization that made said complaint—no gambling, no vile language is indulged in, no loafers hang around the entrance, women have never been insulted in fact it is a model resort where your boy can spend an evening and be in excellent company, as some of the members of the organization making the complaint are frequent visitors there themselves. Also, the proprietor is a member of an Eastern lodge and therefore has his brothers' interests at heart. Great is the power of the underworld, but we thank God there are a few men in these organizations that are determined to hold up the standard of decency. "He laughs best who laughs last." It is declsred that as a result of our American occupation Haiti is practically free from brigands. It would be fine news if America herself were practically free from bandits.—Oakland Tribune.

In commenting on the problems of the small-towd doctor the Southwestern Christian Advocate says: "The small-town doctor has his problems. This is the day of high specialization. But how can the small-town doctor specialize? He makes thirty calls a day, and each call represents a different case and diagnosis and set of conditions. He can no more specialize than can the business man whom he treats for a cold. To-day he extracts tonsils or assists in obstetrics, to-night he sets a broken arm, to-morrow he will fit glasses or remove an appendix. His territory is too big for him to serve efficiently; he cannot find time for study, for conference with brother physicians, or for vacations. Hours are long, and rest is broken. And for his long hours, wide knowledge and kind treatment he receives for earnings a smaller percentage than any other small-towners. Because he cannot specialize, he must send many patients to the city specialists and more and more the city specialist becomes the physician, while the small-town doctor is made a mer first-aid station, a sort of emergency helper." Demand for Colored Help Is Increasing Negro domestics are increasing in number in New York city, and are receiving higher wages than those formerly paid Europeans, according to a statement made before the House committee on appropriations in Washington by Representative Griffin, of New York. F. I. Jones, director-general of the United States employment service, said that he had given close study to questions of household help and he had found shortage in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.

Bequeathed by the late Leopold Levv, $5000 on Dec. 14, 1925, and received by the board of trustees Jan. 8, 1926. The will of Mrs. Ellen M. Withebee bequeathed to the home $500, which it will receive when the estate is settled. The Community Chest The Community Chest The Oakland chest campaign will open February 23, and continue to March 10. The quota is $600,000. The Oakland chest has never quite made its goal in any drive since the chest was organized, leaders pointed out. A supreme effort is to be made this year to raise the full quota, to avoid a curtailment of work, which has been the result with agencies each year in times past, it is said. We hope that our group will see the importance of contributing liberal y to this great cause. All should remember the Old People's Home, Fanny Wall Dav Nursery, and the "Y." Do not fail to do your full duty as part of this community, and hold up the hands of your leaders. 01 J. TI O F. A H G. Wife Is White Tragedy has entered the life of Albert Thomas, who daily feeds the ducks of Lake Merritt. The story of the tragedy can be found in a legal document on file in Alameda county asking that the courts annul his marriage of October 6, 1906, to Gladys Quinby. In 1919, after eleven years of married life, Thomas says that he discovered his wife is a Caucasian and not of Negro blood, as she led him to believe at the time of their marriage. This was discovered when a sister, a blonde, with blue eyes came to visit them. They separated then and Thomas waited hoping his wife would seek relief in the courts. When she failed to do so, he filed action to clear the record. He said last week at his home, 943 East Twelfth street, that his wife stated she would not oppose his suit.
