THE WESTERN OUTLOOK SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1927 VOL. XXX V SAN FRANCISCO J. R. Sands was taken to the hospital this week. His case is reported serious. W. H. Akins or Sutter street has been on the sick list two weeks. Frank Jackson, Sr., a familiar figure in the commercial district in early days, is at the San Francisco hospital. N.A.A.C.P. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE SAN FRANCISCO BRANCH On Tuesday, N v 29th, the San Francisco branch N. A. A. C. P. met at Bethel church. The occasion was the annual meeting and election of officers. An unusual number of members was present, and visitors from Northern California branch. Walter A. Butler of the Northern California branch joined the San Francisco branch, and was elected on the executive board. Mrs. H. E. De Hart, S. C. Rogers, and Jacob Peyton were other impromptu speakers. Treasurer C. A. Garrard made his annual report. Secretary's report will be read at the meeting in January. Many important communications were read, and referred to executive board, among which was an interesting letter from Mavor James Rulph, in reply to a letter of con ratulation upon his re-election sent him from the board. Acting President J. H. Butler then declared the offices of the branch vacant and J. H. Fisher was chosen to fill the chair, and they proceeded to election of officers, as follows: J. H. Butler, vice-president, succeeded W. J. Wheaton as president; Mrs. Adah Wilson, vice-president; Mrs Lena M. Parker, secretary, and C. A. Garrard, treasurer, elected to their respective offices. Executive board members were increased from 9 to 15 as follows: Jacob Peyton, J. H. Fisher, J. M. Thompson, Rev. E. J. Magruder, Hepburn, W. A. Butler, Mrs. Alice Butler, Rev Nelson Prvor, Mrs Eva Williamson, R. J. Fisher, S. Crawford, J. H. Thomas, Mrs. H. Hein- on, Miss L. Lakin and Miss Anna Carter. The secretary's report will show a wonderful progress for 1927 over that of previous years. With this increased, efficient board, a greater future for the branch is anticipated. The branch is looking forward to the coming of Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches, June 13-16. The chairman of the music committee of Los Angeles branch has solicited a musical number from San Francisco at the 1928 convention. San Francisco should feel elated at the generous spirit of the committee—it is not a necessity that prompts the action, but it is a courtesy, not a compulsion. The Glass defence fund steadily increases. The membership committee of the San Francisco branch conducted a cake booth at the Booker Washington Community Centre carnival—Watch for write-up next week. Citizens of both sides of the hav are up in arms on account of the latest move of W. A. Bttler. He is a resident of Oakland, past president of the Northern California branch, a board of director for several years and has received all honors. Anv one familiar with the history of the branch will recall the hard-fought battle that was waged in his behalf the old war-horses, led by C. A. Jamieson, with the mighty George Watkins on the firing line, backed up Harry Jones, Drake, and John Derrick, and he won out against such diplomats as Rev. Coleman and "Foxv" Grav. After all this, he turns his back on friends and goes of other days, and goes over to San Francisco and joins that branch We cannot understand it for the life of us. As the late Bert Williams song goes "That's Gratitude." Was San Francisco in need of good material she had to import it? What is the matter with Joe Froman, Jas. Thompson, our friend from Virginia Jeff Wilson or Dennis Russell? Was he peeved at the Oakland branch—his home town? Sam Quinn, you tell us. How could it was? We will be blessed if we know. Mrs. Hilda King, who was in the hospital for an operation, is able to return home this week. She is with Mrs. Calhoun in Berkeley. OAKLAND Mr. and Mrs. Charles Courtnev of Vallejo were visitors last Sundav attending the morning service of the Fifteenth street church. A special sermon was delivered to the Bible study class last Sunday morning by Rev. Scott. Athens Lodge (Elks) held its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 5th. It was election night, and there was a large number. There were several spirited contests. The house committee reported progress with the big end of the year entertainment on New Year's eve dance, Dec. 31. E. R., Tod Graham refused to run after four successive years in office as Exalted Ruler. The following were elected—Edward Parker, E.R. William Ballard, E. Leading Knight; L. Cooper, E. Lecturing Knight; R. C. Gilmore, E. Loyal Knight; James Simms, Treasurer; H. L. Clarke, Secretary; T. E. Graham, Assistant Secretary; Max Davidson Esquire; L. Clark, I.G.; Dr. W. W. Purnell, examining Physician; H. E. Jackson, Tiler; Trustees, Chas. A. Jamieson, J. Melentree, F. Bass, Wm. Morev, W. Butier. Memorial service will be held at Cooper Zion church, Sunday, December 11th, at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Ash, mother of Mrs. Lucille Colescott, has so far recovered from her last illness that she was able to be down stairs on Sunday. Mrs John H. Terrell of 633 street is reported very ill. She suffered a relapse. Rev. W. H. Green of Washington D. C., will speak at Market Street Church next Sunday evening. Registrar Zemansky will make a house-to-house canvass, beginning Jan. 3. He will utilize the services of 300 registration deputies in the work of rounding up the 250,000 who are now on the rolls. Is it not possible for a few of our group to qualify for some of this work? What say you, Bro. McLamore? Frank Atchinson, who died suddenly last week, was engineer in the Balboa building, and was favorably known throughout the city. His family have the sympathy of his many friends. NO.10 C. P.

JOSEPH CLINTON 723½ Main St., Red Bluff, Cal. ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1927 EDITORIAL PAGE Is it possible that the Masonic order is not capable of handling large affairs? It seems that there is lack of solidarity in their building programs. In Washington, the capital of the nation, their building association for the erection of a temple went into the hands of a receiver, and the uncompleted structure had to be sold to satisfy creditors. Now the New York Masonic temple is facing dissolution from a foreclosure of mortgage, according to the New York Age. This is a sad commentary on the loyalty and business acumen of the order in Harlem. Localiy the building program in the East bay region Igs and there seems to be a lack of confidence to put the program over. Probably it is well that the projectors go slow after the failure in Berkeley. It takes more than hot air to build halls and temples, and it is to be regretted that these failures are due to inexperience of men at the head of the organizations. Legislative bodies and lawmaking become more complicated but after the camouflage has been blown away, what do the people want? The right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The California Development Association are still opposing the limitation of the importation of Mexican agricultural labor, and recommend that Congress ap- point committee to make survey and ascertain needs of the State before any immigration quota is imposed. They fear their supply of cheap labor will be cut off and they would have to resort to Negro labor, claiming that the social and welfare problems in connection with handling of this type of labor would be aggravated because the Negroes are citizens whom it would be necessary for the State to care for in the slack seasons, whereas 89 per cent of Mexicans return to Mexico after the harvest. These gentlemen know this is not so—they only want cheap labor without any responsibility. The Negro is not liable to become charges on the State and if given an even break would become settlers and assets to the State. Let all aliens be treated alike as to the immigration quota. Congress convened on Monday and from now on it will be a case of politics, each party trying to put the other in an unfavorable position before the country for political effect in the coming Presidential contest. Hypocrisy is a fine art as practised by the American politician. Chief Justice Taft in rendering his decision on the State's right to segregate children according to race and color, ran true to form. His record in the Philippines and the Brownsville case is recalled. We should not be discouraged when told that the 14th and 15th amendments have not been violated, when this Chinese child in Mi-sissippi is denied the privilege of attending a white school and must attend a colored school that records show are not equal to white schools. But how different is the interpretation of law when a corporation is concerned. The 14th and 15th amendment is a sacred document and is invoked at all times to protect corporate rights; but it seems to have different meaning when invoked to protect human rights, especially if that human be off color. "On! Consistency, thou art a jewel." GETTING UP BY PULLING DOWN OTHERS CHRISTIAN RECORDER. Many people attempt to climb to prominence or office on faults and failures of others. This is a bad policy. It seems easy to start with. For it is ever so easy to run down somebody else. But as a rule, the time you take to criticize the other brother is time you need to build yourself up and your whisperings usually do num no great harm, but keep you from improving. Still a great many people are constantly trying to pull somebody else down—trying to discredit those who have done better than they have. This is too often characteristic of our people and we should stop it. When we go to a place and some one whispers to us: "So-and-so is a failure here; he got the folk in a terrible mess," or words to that effect, we at once get suspicious that the brother who is trying to tear down his fellow is much of a failure himself, and is criticizing in order to try to hide his own faults. Watch the next fellow who tries it. MAY NOT DEPORT GARVEY New Orleans.—Marcus Garvey has arrived here for deportation as an undesirable alien, following the commutation of his five-year prison term for using the mails to defraud. He is to be sent back to his native Jamaica on the first steamer leaving this port. Whether his deportation will be accomplished smoothly is a matter of doubt, as it is reported that his attorneys are preparing to wage a battle to keep him in the United States. It is regarded as likely that the legal fight will be staged in New Orleans. SEGREGATION HIT Washington, D.C. - Neighbourh segregation based upon racial differences was given a set-back in the supreme court on Monday, when rendered invalid a zoning ordinance put into effect by the village University Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, O., to prevent building a Jewish orphanage in its townies. The supreme court did not hand down a written opinion, merely sought by the municipality thus upholding the decree of the circuit court, which ruled that the refusal of the authorities to grant permit to build was "unreasonable and an arbitrary prohibition." E Secretary Newton D. Baker and Robert M. Morgan appeared as the counsel for the Jewish Home. HAITI HAS NEW ADVISOR Columbian Press Bureau Washington.—The State department announces that the President has selected Arthur G. Millspaugh to succeed Dr. Cumberland as the financial adviser and general receiver to the Haitian government. Mr. Millspaugh, who is a native of Michigan, has been administrator general of finance for Persia since 1922, having been selected for the important work because of his thorough knowledge of financial affairs. President Borno of Haiti understood to have approved the selection of Millspaugh. TRADE SCHOOLS Columbian Press Bureau Instruction in 150 different occupations is provided in trade classes of night schools in New York city. New courses will be organized upon application of 25 registrants. Increasing insistence of trades-unions that apprentices avail themselves of instructions offered in trade classes has resulted in expansion of work LAST CALL FOR DINNER Columbian Press Bureau New York.—Fifty million meals a year, on which they lose millions of dollars, is the conservative close up which the New York Central has recently given of what might be called the "dining-car industry," in such a term were proper. And the dining-car announcement just made concerning the Northern Pacific new train from Chicago to the coast might cause reflections of stewards cooks, and waiters, who contiguate to the dining-car de loxe life on the rail, year in and year out.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S MESSAGE AS HE REFERS TO OUR GROUP THE NEGRO—History does not anywhere record so much progress made in the same length of time as that which has been accmplished by the Negro race in the United States since the emancipation proclamation. They have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture banking, and commerce. It is estimated that 50,000 of them are on the government nav-rolls drawing about $50,000,000 a year. They have been the recipients of Presidential appointments, and their professional ability has arisen to a sufficiently high plane so that they have been intrusted with the entire management and control of the great veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, where conduct has taken a high rank. They have shown that they are worthy of all the encouragement that they have received. Nevertheless they are too often subject to the rightless and inconsiderate treatment, unworthy alike of the white and colored races. They have specially been made the target for the foul crime of lynching. For several years these acts of unlawful violence had been dimi ishing. In the last year they have shown an increase Every principle of order and law and liberty is opposed to this crime. The Congress should enact any legislation it can under the constitution to provide for its complication. Mrs Earl Gladman of San Jose is reported dangerously ill.
