Western Outlook

THE WESTERN OUTLOOK VOL. XXXIV N. A. A. C. P. RELEASED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. New York. Nov. 25.—Writing the December number of the rum magazine. George Fort Linton, a white Southerner, tells the Negro has been 'legally' franchised in Southern States. Milton states: "It is true that the Southern states succeeded in limiting the effectiveness of Negro suffrage, this one purpose underlies all the suffrage laws adouted by the south on States. By hedging the voting privilege with conditions on qualifications which force the citizen who wishes to vote to undertake affirmative steps involving considerable trouble, attention to detail, and a certain minimum of intelligence, their primary object has been attained againly the Negro is not debarred from voting; practically, however, he is debarred very effectively—not as a race, but, for the post part, as a class, which, in common with certain whites cannot meet the requirements imposed." Mr. Milton reports that letters he has received from leaders in several Southern States indicate a new Southern attitude towards the Negro vote. His own attitude he states as follows: "Many Southerners like my self favor a greater exercise of the franchise by the Negro throughout the South, believing that he could be a greater asset if he were trained for political, legal, and economic equality with the whites. But I confess freely that he voting Negro in cities which have come under my observation as hitherto served merely as a tool for debauching elections and maintaining corrupt, unfit men's power. But there are hopeful features in this situation. Intelligent and educated Negroes show WESTER FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, CA P. cation increases, as his economic condition improves, the Negro will undoubtedly show a greater tendency to pay his own poll tax, qualify under the law, make up his own mind on political issues and cast his vote. The next generation will inevitably see a great change in the condition of Negro suffrage in the South." Christmas This effort to make the festival more than a religious or fireside celebration, for the exclusive benefit or the more fortunate ones, is creditable to the more enlightened sentiment of humanity to share its blessings. Christmas is truly an occasion when the unfortunate and afflicted should be remembered in some substantial fashion and invited to partake of the material blessings of the season. The movement to furnish poor families with Christmas dinners and to distribute gifts to those needy children who would otherwise go without, is to be commended. It should be helped and encouraged by contributing to the funds of such organizations. Christmas Seals The Oakland Tuberculosis and Health Committee is distributing Red Cross Christmas Seals, and everyone should take them. It is not generally known that these seals support important community work. They support an information service that answers 2,000 health questions every year, they give free treatment to 1,100 children whose parents cannot afford it, they support a class in nutrition problems and a health examination clinic, and they distribute health literature. The seals may be bought at the headquarters of the committee at Athens Lodge (Elks) usual buy $10.00 worth of the seals each year after investigation at the T. B. Hospital, they found that there was not any discrimination there and children of our group received the same careful attention as any others. Off leaving New Orleans, Marcus now Garvey said: "I shall work forever on behalf of the Negro. My entire in life will be devoted to the support local of his cause, which is now of more importance than ever." FORIY-FIVE YEARS In the Mail Service Only One of Our Group on the Pacific Coast with a Star More than a half a century ago there was born in the State of Louisiana a boy that they afterward named Frank Smith, after going through all the hardships, knocks, fights and bruises that kids in general do at schools, Frank succeeded in graduating from the high school with a fair education which led him to a post office examination, and he passed, went into service 45 years ago during the Xmas rush. After seven years as letter carrier in New Orleans, he removed to Oakland, California. His recommendation from the Postmaster at once gave him a place here. And he has continued ever since. He is the only member of our group in the State or any other group that wears a star on his uniform for service. Forty-five years in the mail service is a long time and especially without a serious complaint against him. Mr. Smith says he has seen many and many during this 45 years lose out, come and go, for tampering with the mail and pilfering registered letters. Mr. Smith is highly spoken of by the postal authorities and pointed to with pride by our own group. He has been connected with the Episcopal Church ever since a lad and is at present treasurer of the St. Augustine's Mission Vestry Board. AMSTERDAM NEWS A 14-year-old white girl in Newark, determined to attract attention to herself, tied herself up in her home, put a carrot in her mouth and when found said that a six-foot colored man had knuckled her down and ransacked the house. There was great to-do about it till a police captain exposed the absurdity of her story. Then the girl confessed and said she had accused a colored man because she had read ever word in the paper about the Lilliendahl case. What an illuminating-sidelight on the ethics of American journalism. Even though Mrs Lilliendahl herself is on trial for murder the screeching head-lines accusing colored men are still fresh in the mind of a child. NO.12 And not one of the daily papers has had the decency to apologize for the slander of a race. Churches Urge Race Relations Sunday New York, Dec. 17th.—A day of penitence and prayer on Lincoln's birthday is called for by the Federal Council of Churches. The day will be known as "Race Relations Sunday." Lynching and mob violence a statement of the council says, assault the very ideals upon which our civilization is dependent. The statement saves 4,000 people have been victims of lynchings in the United States. Let Printers Tell Their Story Over 500 years have elapsed since discovery of movable tyne by Gutenburg. History does not record the name of a printer who amassed fortune in the printing business. The fact is that the average printer retires an overworked man, having strained every ounce of energy to achieve what, in other fields, would be regarded as a modest business success. In most instances making good in the printing business involves not only being a good printer, but also acting as salesman, book keeper, and collector. And for all of these services the printer's compensation is in many cases less than that of his union employees. It seems the irony of fate for the equipment manufacturers to have selected the printing business of all businesses for 'home'brew reproduction, when its product is the most difficult to produce without proper equipment and skilled craftsmanship. The production of printing oequires years of intensive study and experience, artistic conception and technique, besides being a trade of a thousand and one details demanding common-sense, management, and a great deal of physical exertion.

Pullman Porters Committee Columbian Press Bureau In order to stimulate public opinion in support of the demands of the Pullman porters for better wages and working conditions the Pullman porters' conference held in New York recently appointed a committee of ten to work with similar committees to be formed in Boston, Chicago, Washington and Kansas City On these committees will rest the responsibility of raising funds for strike, which A. Philip Randolph and other officials of the Pullman porters believe will follow a possible refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission to take action upon the porters' petition to investigate the relation of the Pullman rates and porters' wages. Randolph, in presenting the case of the porters, reviewed the men's demands and the refusal of the company to accept recommendation of the U.S. railway board that it arbitrate its difference with them. The national conference committee, named at close of the session with the Rev. William Lloyd Ame as its head, is formed by Dr. Julie Coleman, Ira D. A. Reed, industrial secretary of Urban League; C. T. French, Mrs. Caroline Saunders of the Y. W. C. A., Miss Levle Lane Dr Fairclough, Mrs. P. A. Watkins Rev. Dr. George Fraser Miller, and Charles M. Hanson of the Elks. Young People in Indus Columbian Press Bureau Secretary of Labor Jas. J Davis states that, in his opinion, the great army of boys and girls, when they finish their required schooling, are unprepared to enter into industry or business. Many have no definite plan as to what work they desire in a life vocation. It is because of this situation that the junior division of United States Employment Service undertakes to direct and place these boys and girls intelligently in employment comparable with fitness. Many high schools, recognizing the value of such service, are giving more attention to this employment service work in connection with the vocational guidance department. At present, the junior section is assisting in the operation of local placement offices in 30 cities and 15 States.

SAN FRANCISCO Golden Gate Lodge, No. 2007, G. U. O. O.F., held its last meeting of the year and election of officers. The J. C. Rivers slate was cracked to start with and was broken at the finish. Some minor changes were made, in order to allow some of the younger members to move up. J. H. Terrell was re-elected treasurer—his 15th year. J. L. Derrick was elected P.S., third year. E. A. Rist third year as trustee, with Fred Carter and Dennis Russell. The usual Christmas check was sent out to 15 widows and orphans. There will be a get-together meeting of Aerial Lodge, Golden Gate, and the Household of Ruth in January. J. H. Jean, of Seattle, Wash., is visiting in our city. Mrs. L. J. Findlev, ot Denver, is a guest of Mrs. M. Littlejohn of 232 Townsend street. The riot squad at the Bush street station was ordered out Tuesday to rescue the central emergency hospital staff from rage of a lone patient. He was Tracy Lacey, Negro pugilist of 2560 Pine street. Dr McKenny was treating Lacey for cuts and bruises received in a fight. He had been booked for drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Suddenly the Negro leaped to his feet, and was said to have made an onslaught on the doctor. Four attendants came to the doctor's aid. They could not subdue Lacey, and the riot call was sent in. We are calling attention to the advertisement of the Emancipation celebration, that is to be held in Marvsville on Jan. 2. The holiday rates will be on, and there is no doubt every one from nearby towns will attend. Mrs. Stella Porter of Andover st, who has been visiting in the South, has returned, much improved in health. Christmas and New Year's program at Bethel church, Sunday at 6 a.m., prayer and praise service; 11 a.m., Christmas message; 6.30 p.m special program by the Allen C. E.

Wilson and wife arrived Dec. 15 and were received by men.bers and friends at the Third Baptist parsonage. Rev. Wilson's subjects on Sunday, December 25—11 A.M., "Coming of the Savior;" 8 P.M., "What the Shepherds Found in the Manger." Mrs. John H. Terrell' condition remains about the same. Athens Lodge Meeting The Last One of the Year Athens Lodge (Elks) held its last meeting of the year on Tuesday evening. The usual good will prevailed. They voted the annual amount to the widows, and $5 to each of the orphans as a Christmas present. This wonderful organization is surely making history. They have the only club and auditorium owned by our group on the Pacific coast. Their affairs that are given are always well patronized, and this is partly due on account of their generous spirit. When a call was made for the Glass case fund, the Elks did not quibble as some organizations did, but Exalted Ruler Graham stated the case, and, like true, broad-minded men that the Elks are; they walked up to the altar, and laid their money down—$85 is sum total Athens Lodge gave. At their last meeting E. R. Graham asked if any brother knew of any families in need of assistance. A family by name of Stewart who live as the foot of Goss street was mentioned, and they lifted a nice collection for them. The Elks have paid out this year $27,000 cash on their building and club. As an organization, they never make public any charity transactions, but we mention this to show why they are so successful. The Bible teacher "God loves the cheerful giver," and Athens surely has been blesses This may be of interest to mismated pairs who are anxious to have puptial knots untied. The cost of divorce in San Francisco is cheaper than in Reno, where the minimum fee charge by lawyers is $250. San Francisco lawyers—some of them—will carry through an uncontested divorce or annulment case for as low as $50, and some of these lawyers have an easy-pavement plan. Fifty dollars is the absolute minimum. Cost of filing papers is $7, service of summons unless by publication usually amounts to $2.50 and when the case is heard the shorthand reporter's fee is $5, making total cost of cheap divorce $64.50. Of course fees vary. Lawyers as a rule charge all the traffic will bear.

Publishers of WESTERN OUTLOOK Many fraternal organizations have held their annual elections, choosing those who the majority think will best carry on the work and uphold the principles and ideals of their organizations, but let us hope that all our organizations can unite on some forward plan that will encourage more business enterprise among our group, and discourage vicious tendencies to profit through devious ways. Our organisations should not shield individuals who are using them for a cloak of respectability to hide their dirt. We hope to see some of our organizations drop some of their time-honored, out-of-date ideas and come out in the open with a progressive program of benefit to the community. The political battle for next year is now on, and both parties are skirmishing for issues to go before the country. That there is dearth of live appealing issues is probably because the country is prosperous and party lines do not mean as much as they did a decade ago. But if Gov. Smith is nominated. Democrats will be compelled to make a wet fight. Both parties are inclined to side-step prohibition, but like Banquo's ghost, it will not down. The insincerity of both parties on enforcement of the amendments is too evident to fool intelligent voters. It is a toss-up or our group—elephant or mule. Those individuals who are knocking the N.A.A.C.P. in most cases are persons who imagine they have a grievance because things did not go their way. This is supposed to be a country where majority rules, and if you are not satisfied with the policy of the majority, in common decency keep your mouth closed for the fact that you are in the minority is evidence that you are regarded as a fool or a disturber. N. A. A. C. P. RELEASED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. MOORFIELD STOREY ISSUES A HOLIDAY SEASON APPEAL Sounds Warning of National Dangers And Urges Support for Defence New York. Dec. 16.—Moorfield Storev of Boston, national president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has issued a stirring appeal for the support of the N. A. A. C. P. as the only organization of its kind in America, safeguarding through its court victories and education of the public opinion the rights not only of Negroes, but of all minority groups in America. In issuing his appeal, Mr. Storev soun led a note of solemn warning of dangers confronting the American nation, and urging the people of the United States to rally to the cause of civilization and of justice. Mr. Storev's appeal is as follows: "The people of the United States do not at all realize the dangers before them Twelve million American citizens cannot be denied their inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, protection from mob violence, equal rights in parks, public places and public convenances, right to dwell in places of their own selection and purchase by them and every other legal right which belongs to their neighbors without ultimate civil war. Secret societies masking themselves in order to evade the law with impunity and threatening Catholics, who claim a different faith, Jews and Negroes who are of a different race, like the Ku Klux Klan, with their hideous practices and childish names and ceremonies, cannot be tolerated in a civilized community, but they have a strong hold on parts of our States, as appeals by the recent admission of the highest legal officers that the law cannot be enforced in Alabama against these cowardly ruffians, and revelations in Indiana and elsewhere. The people of the United States must rally, to the cause of civilization and justice. Clergy men must unite the church, college presidents must enlist the forces of education. Not all will wish to join the battle themselves, but the should at least be willing to help those who do with sympathy and means. To such the National Association for Advancement of Colored People should make a strong appeal. It is not only working for colored people, but to help the United States against the violence which is inevitable and is sure to cause disastrous consequences unless the supreme law of our principles and our laws can be restored. It is working to establish both by proceedings in property courts and is sure of success in our self-repecting court. It has won striking victories, and in the court and at ballot boxes it means to be heard. It needs money for course expenses, for investigation charges for all the numerous expenses which such a cause insures, and every one who contributes a dollar to its treasury is making the country safer for us all and the future of our children secure. He who declines unwitting perhaps prefers civil war to order course of justice. Let him this before he refuses to help." We are pleased to see the growing interest in our churches especially in San Francisco. All of the churches are pastored by good men who seem to be sincere thus they are attracting larger congregations, and their work is showing in increase of members. The Western Outlook congratulates the churches on their success the past year, and hopes for greater success the coming year. Read colored journals and pay for them. What one has the other may lack, but by combining information that may be found in many of them you will secure an education in race matters of which you may well be proud.—Richmond Planet. Our high-brows find nothing in race papers only when they want to use them to puff themselves up To Correspondents CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main post office sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Outlook office on Wednesday morning, and always to their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies. Unless this latter is done, proper credit may not be given. Lists of names wedding presents, etc., obituary notices, industries, institutions and line, six words to a line. Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application.

NELSON PRYOR, PASTOR Christmas Cantata World's Rede BETHEL CHURCH 207 Powell Street, San Francisco REV. NELSON PRYOR; PASTOR Christmas Cantata The World's Redeemer" TO BE GIVEN BY THE CHOIR Sunday Evening, Dec AT 8 O'CLGCK OF FORTY VOICES UNDER DIRE CHARD E. WILLIAMSON, ORGA AT 8 O'CLGCK CHOIR OF FORTY VOICES UNDER DIRECTION OF RICHARD E. WILLIAMSON, ORGANIST PETER H. HARRIS Rev. W. W. Matthews Rev. W. W. Matthews is a great worker, broad and liberal minded, of pronounced scholarship and pulpit ability. His popularity may be inferred from the fact of his having been called to Philadelphia to take charge of the Missionary Seer, the official organ. Rev. Matthews paid the Western Outlook a visit last week on his flaving trip to California. He is making votes for his drive for the bishopric at general conference at St. Louis in 1928, and was very hopeful when we met him. All the Western delegates, and we think there are 18, seem to favor him. The excellent work of Dr Matthews and his note I good character and undoubted fitness will commend him to many of the general conference delegates when line-up is formed. Rev. T. Allen Harvey In looking over the field for some one to take the place of Rev. Matthews as editor of the Missionary Seer, in case of his election, we suggest Rev. Harvey, the presiding elder of California district. He is a master mind in biblical theology and well qualified for the position. It would be a fitting testimonv and reward. It might appear to be a queer coincidence. Rev. Matthews and Rev. Harvey are both of California and it was through the efforts of Dr. Matthews that Rev. Harvey was brought into the fold. It was in Los Angeles at the time the Rev Harvey was about to organize an independent church, and he had a wonderful following. California will appreciate and feel highly honored it the election and appointment are successful.

Treatment for All Veterans Washington.—An announcement that will appeal to all colored ex-service men was recently made by Watson B. Miller, chairman of the Legion's national rehabilitation committee. Congress will be asked to amend the World War veterans' act so that it will be possible to furnish hospital treatment to all veterans in need of it, regardless of the origin of their diseases or liabilities. Under the present law, the Veterans' bureau in its discretion may furnish free hospital treatment if b-ds are available; but it has been claimed that hospitalization must be curtailed, or it will be necessary to acquire additional hospital facilities to care for non-service-connected cases.

SENSE AND NONSENSE (Clipped from Other Papers) The old-fashioned girls who used to go in for friils are now coming out strongly for thrills. "Doughboys" is an excellent narre, except that they were not boys, and were not the ones that got the dough. The politician who used to blow hot and cold now blows wet and dry. The man who frequents a blind pig never brings home the bacon. A scientist searching for lost civilization should visit some of our traffic centres. Even in the old days a lot of fellows kissed the bride, but not so many before the ceremony. Mexico would be all right if its government could execute laws as effectively as it does the revolutionists. An American left the bulk of his fortune to his lawyer. If all did this, a lot of time would be saved. Mexicans spend four times as much or movies as on bull-fights. But of course there is much more bull in a movie than in a bullfight DOINGS. OF THE RACE Theodore Brown, of Detroit, has been named a deputy court clerk. The 37th annual farmers' conference at Tuskegee, Ala., was held last week. Dr. Morton presided. Nora. Holt Rav, Chicago cabaret hostess, beat her husband's suit to make her return $30,000 real estate and $12,000 in jewelry. The artistic work of Aaron Ward of the Crisis has been included in the second annual exhibition of the American book illustration which is being held in New York. Moving pictures of Poro College, presentation of ten graduates, and a talk by Mrs. A. Malone were given recently in Washington. Bishop Carev's son-in-law, P. B. Prescott, assistant corporation counsel in Chicago, was one of the five winners of a set of law books in a recent prize contest held by the American Law Book Co. An order naming a receiver for the endowment department of the Alabama Knights of Pythias was asked in the State supreme court at Montgomery recently.
