NO MORE KLU KLUX KLAN In Name Only The announcement that the Klu Klux Klan would discard its sheets and pillow slips at midnight on Washington's Birthday. The Imperial Wizard has declared it unlawful for any klan member to wear a hood, visor or mask and every one shall hereafter become a member of the Knights of the Forest. They may call themselves knights of the Forest. There is an old adage: "The rose will smell as sweet by any other name" seems to fit this case. Klansmen without sheets will be the same as of old as long as they practice the cowardly crimes. It will be just what it has always been an organization founded on racial hatreds, greed and intolerance. Mrs. Mattie Ballard has been selected chairman social session for Mizpah Temple, No. 18, to arrange the Easter Monday ball, on April 9. Watch this paper for particulars.

NEW YORK AGE COMMENTS The Washington Eagle took exception to the acquiescence with which Republican Senator received Senator Swanson's defence of nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments. It said "All the leaders of the Republican party were there, but the Congressional Record does not record any of them standing up to answer the adroit arguments of the Senators from Virginia, Swanson, who defied the Senators to invoke reduction or representation in proportion to the number of votes voided. Senator Reed, elected from the greatest Republican State, Pennsylvania, quietly by when the Virginia Senator made his speech. When the case of Smith of Illinois was being argued it was Reed of Pennsylvania who intimated that the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments would be reprisal for failure to see Smith. This great defender of the constitution sat supinely in his seat Senator Watson, another leading light of the Republican party worked himself up to a point when he asked some questions, and when Swanson was defending nullification of the 15th amendment, Watson said 'I do not think the 15th amendment is being violated. If there be any violation, it is of the 14th amendment.' To this Swanson replied 'I am glad to get the Senator'scession that the South is completely exonerated from any violation of the 15th amendment.' "Willis, of Ohio, and a flock of pussyfooting Republicans were present, and opened not their mouths. They either lacked brains to answer Swanson, or were satisfied to see constitutional amendments affecting the Negro nullified." Both brains and backbone have been conspicuously lacking on the Republican side of the Senate in recent years. Pussyfooting is the policy that has brought Republicanism to its present decadence. Every one is talking about Peter Ogden day in Sacramento, March 31. Sacramento knows how. They have never discounted a promise. Wife Slayer Gets Life Chattanooga, Tenn.—Deliberating a little more than an hour, a circuit court jury convicted Harry C. Nielsen, a railway conductor, of first degree murder for hacking to death and incinerating his wife. A life imprisonment sentence was imposed.

Rev. Davis, of Oakland, officiated. Clarence Brown leaves three brothers; one sister, Mrs Annie Houston; and two nieces, Mabel Brown and Mildred McClendon, to mourn his loss. John Henry had no known relatives. He came to Madera at the age of 14. The two friends in life became two friends in death. Mrs Beulah Maxwell and son Leslie and her two sisters-in-law motored down from Oakland to attend the funeral. Mrs. Sadie Sims, director of Las Serenados Glee Club, and president of the Frances Harper Club, has been confined to her bed. Doctor Wallace reports her better at this writing. Mrs. Minturn is confined to her bed, seriously ill. Her daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Young, of Pittsburg, is here, attending her mother. Sundav, the Odd Fellows' lodges of Hanford, Fresno, and Baketsfield held a joint meeting at Hanford. Besides the main address and Odd Fellows' rituals, a programme was rendered consisting of the following—Piano solo, Mrs. Ollie Clarke, of Fresno; vocal solo, Mrs. Lewis, of Hanford; duet, Willie Hill and Sadie Fields, of Hanford; reading, Mrs. S. Averv, of Fresno; saxophone solo, Otis Edmondson, of Fresno; and a Life of Peter Ogden, William Burns of Fresno. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Wvsinger and Mr. and Mrs. James Conner motored to Hanford to attend the Baptismal services at the Baptist church, and also attended the Odd Fellows' ceremony. Other out-of-town guests were—Thelma Young, Vera Wvsinger, Edna Young, Mildred McClendon, Menhoma Thurman, Mrs. L. McClendon, Milton Williams, Alberta Ross, and Ruth Hamilton, of Fresno; Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Allen of Tulare Mr. and Mrs. Holt of Porterville. SUFFERED A STROKE Mrs. Lotta Walton, who arrived from Los Angeles last week to visit Mr. and Mrs. James Dawson, of Berkeley, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis and is now in the Highland hospital. Mrs. Walton was a Sacramento girl, and well known around the bay region several years ago. Rev D. C. Allen has resumed the pastorate of the Church of Christ, on 29th street and invites the public and his friends to attend services. All are welcome. Seats free. lll Established September 1, 1834.

BISHOPS Cc We must hand it to Los An- geles. They are doing things down there. The proof of the pudding is the eating. The build- ing of a hotel is proof vositive when the dirt began to fly, and the walls begin to rise. This progressive move has done more in 90 days to give the race stand- ing than all the mass meetings with ‘‘resolves’’ in twenty years. The gas corporation, which never employed our group, now see the necessity of having some of our group on their payroll. The color line is wiped ont when vou have soiethirie that the other fellow wants. What has been done in the southern metropolis can be done here by getting together and pooling our interests, Don’t you know that we spend enough money in the bay region among these merchants to force some of them to give employment to the race? Of what use is higher education for our bovs and girls unless we force openings for them? It can be done. Segregation in State prison is carrying the thing to a fine point according to a recent editorial in the Western Appeal. We suppose since admission of a Hollywood star, prison society will be more exclusive. Too bad that the real estate board cannot enforce their resirictions on San Quentin! | BISHOPS CONFER ON BIBLE CHANGE | London—The house of bishops of the Church of England will devote three days this week to secret delibrations on the revised Book of Common Prayer. It is deemed unlikely that the Prayer Book will emerge from the final Episcopal revision greatly altered from the style in which the clergy left it. It appears that the Good Old Book is much in the ** limelight’? these days. Why change it? We have followed it all these years. Why not go on?

The G.O P. of Gvtiter in is united on sending 2 Hoover deteca- tion to Kansas City, but Roushons are lending spice to the necasian with a battle between wets ind drvs Al Smith versus McAdoo adherents. Now it is announced that Senator Walsh will carry the dev banner while Senator Reed, the Missouri 1 will run, so it looks as though there will be plenty of action in the minority party. All eves are on the Buckeye State, where Hower it pitted against Willis. a favorite son and it looks as though the Ohiiw luck will not be with the favorite som and the Harding trict will not be turned at Kansas City. Down in the citrus belt, an effort is being made to capture another seat in the legislature, from the 73d district. It seems that Bass has. smoked out Fred Roberts, and be “chooses to run’? again on his record | of ten years’ experience at Sacra-| mento. The following is an excerpt from the soaring Eagle: | “Our group has certainly been Patient and indulzent with our rep- resentative, re-electing him with the | hope that something tangible woul) be accomplished, but so far we car! point to nothing strikingly important | unless it be his passive presence | alone, which, according to admirers! is his chiet qualification."” | We shall watch the battle, and keep our readers informed. | The Eagle has this to sav of the shining stand: “The acquisition by J. C. Rivers of the shiring stand at the ferry building, in San Francisce, which was formerly conducted by John Tavlor, prominent politician of that citv, also once conducted by A. P. Alberga, we are sure is in the hands of a capable and worthwhile citizen. We hope, however, that it will not be chalked up as political patronage doled out to the colored group.”” Alameda county politics is always nteresting, with city administration acing a recall, and the county cam- paign beginning.

No. 1302 Divisadero street. Chester Rowell in speaking of the Nicaraguan situation and the inter vention by our own United States has this to say: p In other words, Nicaragua hopes to be another Cuba. With better theo- retical right, in Cuba, but with no Breater practical need, we enabled the Cubans to develop’ free govern- ment. Under their constitution, we retained the right to intervene, to supervise their elections whenever they did not succeed in holding them in peace themselves. We did not care who was elected, but we saw that everybody had the right to vote as he pleased, that whoever was elec- ted was put in office, and that in- stead of going on the war path. That part of this article that reads “We saw that everybody had the right to vote as he pleases” strikes us as being funny. In our own coun- try we can vote and are not allow. ed to, there is no ore interested enough to intervene. Consistency, where is your jewel?

New York, —The program is now being arranged for the 19th Annual Conference in Los Angeles, June 26 to July 3, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and people of national importance, as well as leading citizens of California are being asked to deliver addresses. Among those to whom invitations are being sent are Lieutenant-Governor Fitts of California; Jane Addams of Chicago, founder and head of Hull House; the celebrated film star, Mary Pickford; and U. S. Senator Samuel Shortridge of California. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT (From the New York Times.) If the movement in the first Illinois District to send a Negro Congressman to Washington in place of Representative Madden is successful, he will, it develops, be a man with a mission more serious than a mere emphasis of the presence in Congress of a member of his race. It is the observance, as the American Negroes see it, of the Fifteenth Amendment which is to be his cause. The manager of one of the candidates has stated it forcefully as follows: The issue of paramount importance is not whether the Fifteenth Amendment should be enforced, but whether or not the necessary legislation shall be enacted to make the Fifteenth Amendment effective in spirit and letter. It is my firm conviction that lynching, peonage, Jimrow cars and disfranchising would shortly disappear if every citizen was protected in the exercise of his franchise. This right would not be denied if deprivation of representation in Congress would be the unfailing penalty of such denial. This manifesto has aroused Mr. Madden's Negro constituents to such an extent that many candidates of that race are in the field—so many, think the Chicago political reporters, that they will split their aown vote, and make it possible for Mr. Madden to go back. But if they were to apply to their enterprise the same solidarity with which they support the white bosses of Cheiago, the next Congress might find in its ranks a citizen whose political opinions will be even more distasteful to the South than his color. Mrs Hettie B. Tilghman, who has served for the past four or five years as a speaker for the Community Chest, will this year act as solicitor Any one wishing to contribute can send the amount to her address—1654 Ashby avenue, Berkeley. We regret very much to read of the controversy that is going on between Dr. Williams, leader for the Baptist faction and Nannie Burroughs, founder of the school, grand woman that she is. It is unbelievable, after the reading of the Williams article to think he is as ignorant of the history of this school as he leads us to believe. SHERBURNE QUITS Boston. Because of the clause in the national constitution of the organization which prohibited membership of Negro veterans, Brigadier John H. Sherburne, war-time commander of Negro artillery units, has resigned from the Honorary Society of the American Legion. Protesting against the clause, he pointed out that it is directly in contradiction to the spirit manifested during the war for "democracy." WINS MEDAL New York.—Effort made by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the interest of the colored dwellers of Harlem has won for the son of the world's wealthiest man a coveted award. New York Chapter of American Institute of Architects has awarded Mr. Rockefeller its medal of honor for outstanding house development of 1927. Rockefeller's apartments for colored tenants, at 150th street and Seventh avenue, designed by Andrew J. Thomas, was the subject of the award. The Rockefeller apartments, comprising a group of six units, cover a space 200x775 feet, half the area being devoted to light and air. The suites of three to seven rooms are sold upon a down payment of $50 a room, and monthlv charges range from $11.50 to $17.50 a room. More than 80 per cent. of the 513 units already have been sold. STILL MANY REFUGEES Washington. — Approximately 71,000 of Mississippi valley flood sufferers are still being fed by the Red Cross as the anniversary of the disaster aporoaches. The destruction of replanted crops by freezes and recurring high water are reasons given for the large number still under the Red Cross care. Those receiving aid are divided among States as follows —Louisiana, 49,659; Mississippi, 16,514; Arkansas, 4,729; Tennessee. 150. Reconstruction aid has been given to 570,965 persons to date, while 1,669,516 acres have been replanted with Red Cross help.

Accusing Southern States of disfranchising Negro voters Representative Tinkham (Rep.) of Massachusetts asserted in the House that William G. McAdoo is in sympathy with nullification of the 14th, 15th, and 19th amendments to the constitution. He said that McAdoo in a recent speech on enforcement of prohibition, reached the pinnacle of nauseating hypocrisy in his view on upholding the constitution. Any American who has trailed in the United States, he said, knows that the Negro votes as freely as a white man, North, East, and West, but not in the South. He added that because of nullification of the constitution, elections in the South are unconstitutional and lawless and Presidential elections are tainted with fraud and illegitimacy. He said that if prohibition is enforced by a Federal statute, other amendments should be upheld by similar means. GIVES COLLEGE $55,000 Knoxville, Tenn.—Property valued at $55,000 has been deeded to Knoxville college by Rev. Dr. C. H. Johnson of Birmingham, an alumnus of the school Rev. Johnson is to retain management of the property during his lifetime. The gift is to produce a fund the income of which is to be used for scholarships for worthy students. FOR RESEARCH WORK New York-A gift of $9,300 from the Social Science Research Council for research in Negro migration, is announced by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university at a meeting of the board of trustees. This gift will be used to obtain data and stuuv the conditions and results attending the influx of Southern Negroes to the North. It will be the first time that a deniate scientific study has been made of Negro migration. HONOR PULLMAN PORTER Chicago.—The officials charged with the duty of naming Pullman cars when they are put in service have broadened the policy recently instead of peculiar combinations of letters often seen, names of persons and places and flowers are now used. One car bears the name of a Pullman porter who died in a wreck several years ago. He refused aid until a little girl near him was cared for, and when the workers returned he was dead. In his honor, the Sirocco was rechristened Daniels—which is a great departure from the old-time custom. One the new cars placed in service is named after Colonel Charles Lindbergh.

COPY BOOK MAXIMS SOME TIMES COME TRUE Out of a job and broke, a man who had had never before seen a $1000 bill picked up a package containing $52,000 being in a New York bank, and turned it in. The bank gave him a reward of $500. The trucking company that lost the package gave him $1,000. Better than this, the trucking company off-red him a position of trust. Had he kept the money, unused as he is to large sums, he probably would have proved that a fool and his money are soon parted. As it is he has $1,500 on deposit with the bank, which gave him advice along with the reward, and he has a job where he will not only be able to make money, but, more valuable still, will learn how to take care of it when he gets it. The bank gets back its cash and the trucking company is in the clear. All the way round, the trip turns out with the traditional happy ending. We hope he will live happily ever after. HONOR PUBLICIST Chevney Pa. Colored citizens paid a tribute to a white benefactor of the race r cently, when a bust of the late John Millbolland, New York publicist, was unveiled at the State Normal school bar. Mr. Millbolland who died in June, 1925, was a fearless fighter against intolerance, and a champion of the rights of color citizens. The widow and daughter of the deceased were present. Dr W. E. B. Dubois delivered an address, and Mrs. Foster read a poem. Another bust in memory of Mr. Millbolland was unveiled at Howard university some time ago. REPEAL OF BOXING LAW A vigorous, determined campaign backed by all better elements of the State was launched last week to rid California of the brutal, degrading spectacle of legalized prize-fighting. Decent citizens of every type aroused by recent spectacles which have exhibited the prize-fighting game in its most revolting aspects are back of this demand to drive prize-fighting from the State. Members of the women's clubs, parent-teachers' associations, representative men in churches of all denominations, citizens of both sexes and of every walk in life will stav with the campaign, it is emphasized until their purpose is accomplished. With boxing, a clean sport, the opponents of the prize-fight law have no quarrel. The manly art of self-defence is still a manly art, but has nothing in common with vicious exhibitions in the commercial prize ring, it is pointed out. Every move in the prize-fighting game—they call it a game, but it is a business, and a brutal one, at that—is made for sordid motives. It has no element of sportsmanship, there is nothing about it that can be defended by a lover of clean competitions, and the massed campaign against the prize-fight law will be led by men and women who are among California's foremost exponents of spo tsmanlike competitions of all kinds. SOUTHERN FARMERS Washington. In the 16 Southern States, 194.540, or 23 per cent., of 831.455 farms are owned by colored farmers. Although West Virginia has the least number of this class of farmers, 75 per cent, of them are owners. Virginia, with 66 per cent Negro farm ownership, leads all the States in number of farms owned by our group, while Mississippi with the greatest number of colored farm operators, has the lowest percentage of ownership. In actual number of farms owned the ten leading States are Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee Among colored farmers, there are more croppers in Mississippi than in any other State. Texas leads in this respect among white farm tenants. Throughout the South as a whole 41 per cent. of colored and 12 per cent. of white farmers are croppers. There are more white than colored croppers in Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas Virginia and West Virginia.
