TOO MUCH SIN Tobacco may or may not be physically injurious, but if it is, the objection to it is phvsiological, not moral or spiritual. If smoking is wicked, then it is equally so, to the clergvmen or laymen. To forbid it to one while permitting it to the other, is to substitute taboo for sin. There is too much sin in this world to redeem men from, without worriving about the taboos. So soy we all of us Chester WHIST GAME / ND SUPPER TO BE GIVEN BY AUXILIARY NO. 1 LORIN HALL, BERKELEY, THURSDAY, MAY 10 Supper Served from 5 to 2:30, Before the Game Six Nice Prizes Will Be Given All Included for Fifty Cents Admission MRS. JULIA A SHOREY, CHAIRMAN MRS. H. B. TILGHMAN, SECRETARY JOHN H. MANNING BUTLER, an American Negro, who went to Philippine Islands as a teacher more than a generation ago, has been promoted to the Division Superintendency of one of the largest provinces of the Islands. He is recognized also as the author of school textbooks used there for the education of eight million Filipinos. He is superintendent of two divisions, each of which formerly had a white superintendent at its head. The examination which he passed resulted in his receiving higher average than any other person had hitherto obtained. He is probably the first Negro in history to reach a school superintendent with full powers equal to those held by graduates of leading universities of America. With 40,000 pupils, 4 high schools, 49 intermediate and 300 primary schools to direct, one of the high schools mainly staffed by whites, in addition to 2 trade schools, it would seem that he is doing a monumental work in his capacity of Division Superintendent of Schools for provinces of Isabella and Cagayan.—Opportunity. PRINTING PRICES ARE RIGHT STOCK THAT YOU WANT GIVE US AN ORDER THE WESTERN OUTLOOK 1276 Seventh St., Oakland ed and Infirm People RY NO. 1 EY, THURSDAY, MAY 10 to 2:30, Before the Game NOT UNDERSTOOD We have on several occasions been mistaken for John H. Terrill, but have always thought the parties so doing were near sighted but the other day in boarding the S. P. boat some one said "how do you Mr. Grav." Now that did settle it. We have come to the conclusion that J. H. Terrill and E. B. Grav must be good looking men that we are so often mistaken, or we are not understood. Bill Dyson says, youth may leave its curious qualities but it is also inspiring. We would not be surprised if some one mistook us for George Watkins. Deaths of Week PITTMAN, Edward, first stand of Mrs Lois Pitman of Norwich, Africa, brother of M. C. Pitman of Oakland and John Eckridge of Berkeley; a native of Alabama.

St. Augustine Men's Club PRESENTS The Bowery School "The Bowery School," that was presented or Monday evening by the Men's Club of St. Augustin's Mission, opened to a packed house when Ambrose Clark rang the school bell. It was fun, fast and furious, and Eddie Harland, W. D. Jenkins, Mickey Debike kept things in such a roar that the substitute teacher, Richard Graffin, could hardly bear over the telephone. Previous to the opening of school there was a nice programme of vocal and musical numbers. Eddie Jones as Bowery Lize is deserving of credit as he picked up the part on the last night, and carried it through to perfection. A. B. Martin, the original Lize, was called out of town that night on his private car. "Masonic Fraud" TWO HELD AS FAKE ORGANIZERS IN MISSISSIPPI Gulfport, Miss.,—By agreement before Justice Cox here T. J. Cuney of Jackson, and Robert Jones of Piscayne, organizers for the Grand Masonic Congress F. & A. M. of the United States and Canada, were released until May 1 on bonds of $500 each for reappearance before Justice Cox. Cuney and Jones were arrested during the progress of lodge organization meeting at Lyman, on complaint of Alex Stamps, member of Rectitude Lodge 323. A. F. & A. M., of Gulfport, who claimed the two "outside" men were defrauding Lyman applicants by offering them membership in an organization without standing. In an amended affidavit filed by County Attorney D. M. Graham, Jr., both Cuney and Jones were charged with cheating and defrauding Johnnie M-Leoud of $7 by claiming they represented the "only recognized and existing Masonic lodge in Mississippi." Men's day at Zion church last Sunday was a very successful Jeff in Brother G. W. Wattles' address although lengthy, was full of good thought but as an off-hand talker the editor sidines.

P The San Francisco Branch of National Association for the de- cement of Colored People, re- a letter from Father James G. of the Paulist Fathers, express sympathy with the work of the association. In response to a com- nication of Mrs. Lena M. Pal- Secretary of the Branch, commen- him for a generous defense of col- people in an address delivered St. James Church. Mrs. Maud- or heard the address of Father- lis at St. Francis Assissi Church, called our attention to it. In his reply to Mrs. Parker, Fier Gillis said in part: "that at here in San Francisco, but oncorn wherever I go, and particularly New York City—my home—I am teresting myself in the break down of race prejudice and advan as far as I may, the welfare of peoples, particularly of those perhaps are the victims of disen nation." NEW NEGRO LEADERSHP In the April number of a popu magazine, E. Franklin Frazier, New sociologist, discussed with clears and force "The American New Leadership." The article covers much in illuminating and forming, but does not escape taint that Mr. Frazier was as "intellectuals" then, graduated from such schools as Hard, etc. That the Negro is boundless past is evident even when he is the Negro attentive colleges and universities who probably more responsible for the break with the past. New colleges are still dominated by servative ideals." This is very gantly put, whatever may be the act of its acceptance. The son-ern-trained Negro will probably sent the intimation that his brother is fundamentally more gerous. Prof. Frazier describes the role of the Negro minister in urban centers, and attributes it to "the spread of knowledge and the increase of social difference." The new leaders are not only educated—many having completed the best schools of America and studied in Europe—but are critical and scpeptical. This new Negro leadership will not have learned in vain, if it devotes its talents toward directing people to higher and moral levels, and in promoting the peace and goodwill of the world.—Star of Zion.

Kills Doctor Holly Springs, Miss.—Believing he was under the spell of a hoodoo Mack Bowen, a farmer, shot and killed Chas. Balfour, voodoo doctor. He also shot at Henry Martin, whom he held responsible for the evil spell. Bowen came to town from his farm often recently, and sought charms and voodoo chasers from Howard Jones: Martin, who is said to have naked Bowen's wife, appeared upon the premises, and Bowen decided to end the hoodoo for ever, and shot at Martin, killing a mule he was riding. He then shot and fatally wounded Balfour, who was about 90 years old. Off-ets are searching for the slayer. National Negro Press Association Officers elected were as follows—B. J.

ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 EDITORIAL PAGE Last week was concluded a trial in the courts of Alameda county of a young woman for slaying her alleged lover. It is said that the court was filled with an assorted crowd of all ages and conditions who readily drank the sordid details of a drama in real life. Few possibly gave any thought to the tragedy that had brought sorrow to two families. They were there for curiosity—broken hearts and severed ties meant nothing to them. But this case possibly differs not from dozens of others that are enacted in our courts of justice. Unbridled passions and evil associations are contributing causes in most of these cases. Society must be protected and our courts are working overtime to fill the jails. It would seem that there is a heavy responsibility resting upon society to find a remedy for crime. The increase in our criminal population is appalling. Prisons do not seem to have any deterring effect. In our minds there is much work cut out for social workers and the churches. Of what use is eloquent discussion on theology? That does not reach down to the falling brother and sister. Al Smith has been taking a vacation in the "Sunny South." Of course, it is hoped that the New York governor enjoyed his vacation, and no doubt he has received much instruction from those "who know the Negro best and how to keep him in this place." If we remember rightly Mr Coolidge after he was elected Vice-President, had a vacation in the South, and we all know how segregation has flourished during his administration, so we cannot feel enthusiastic over ambitious politicians from the North having vacations in Dixie. There is something convincing in Southern hospitality, when brought to bear in convincing their guests that the South is right in its treatment of the race problem. Read race newspapers, and pay for those you read. There is a veritable army of newspaper dead beats—they will walk six blocks to borrow a colored newspaper without paying for it. Richmond Planet. Brother Mitchell, you have said a mouthful. In this neck of the woods, these beats can be found on the books of every race paper published around the bay. After being carried, they are dropped and then they subscribe for another one. Thus they get the news, and pay for none. This we clip from the Star of Zion, and it hits a condition in many of our communities, but which is becoming less as the light of intelligence breaks through the clouds of ignorance: "It is about time, as the Boston Chronicle avers, that Negro minis- ters should quit selling their pulpits to political spellbinders of whatever party. Also, it is about time that principals of Negro schools should quit putting on Negro minstrels which, at their best, portray the baser characteristics of the baser element of Negro life. It is also about time that the people should bestir themselves in getting rid of the backward preacher who sells his pulpit for political purposes, and the backwood teacher who is sufficient sordid to postulate the talents of school children to uninspiring and unelevating entertainments for the sake of the gate receipts. Before we go to press again the voters of this great State will have gone to the polls, and expressed their preferences for the candidates that they wish to see nominated for President at the several conventions. While it is the policy of this paper to remain neutral in party affairs, though we are Republican in principle, but we consider our first duty to our group. Their interest is paramount to any party or individual and it is advised to stand by your friends. We should judge men by their performances, and not by their promises. We owe it to ourselves and race to vote for the candidates who have already shown their friendship for our struggling group. Such a candidate for President, we believe, is Herbert Hoover and coming from one of the most liberal States in the Union he is too broad-minded to be swayed by prejudice. The adverse decision in the Glass case was not wholly unexpected by those who have kept in touch with this remarkable case. Of course, to the ordinary layman the intricacies of the law are a puzzle and the twilight zone between State and Federal law is so intricate and the matter of State rights so involved, that we feared no other result was to be expected. However, the gallant fight of the N.A.A.C.P., we feel was justified. The publicity given the case will be of great value in future. Though we lost, it serves notice that the race is ready to stand firm for our rights. We publish church notices free of charge, and would appreciate cooperation of church authorities if they would notify this office when any changes are made in hours of service. If this is not done, we are not rsponsible for errors. We endeavor to be accurate, and it is not our desire to mislead the public. PUBLISHERS. Nothing is more imple the people of San Fran the passage of the two issues at the primary May 1. We have invested me $55,000,000 in the new Hetchy project and unb ish this job by voting issue, we may lose this investment. Hetch Hetch must be here soon to Francisco from a water It is absolutely correct must have a distribution for our water. We must fore, pass the bond issue chase of the Spring Valter Company's properties company owns all the able reservoir sites — we absolutely necessary for buction of water. To tear the streets and lay our own is unthinkable. The price at which the erties are offered was by the State Railroad Company and is fair. To duplicate properties would cost more $56,000,000. To postpone purchase be a great mistake. It thereby add millions of to the price we must pay We would lose big profit properties will earn nearly 000,000 in the next five alone. These two bond issues not add to the taxpayer's but will lower taxes and water rates. Every group in San Francisco favors these two bond issues only inertia can defeat Remember that two "yes" must be cast for every "no" Remember that at most there are some who vote "no" Vote "yes" May I on bond issues. It is a vote progress and expansion, for taxes and cheaper water. The Tender (Kans) Plain is correct when it says too many Negroes are leaving the farms, the Star of Zion adds that too many Negroes are leaving farms, towns, and villages, and cross the big cities, where they are doing themselves not any one any special good.

The Western Outlook Oldest Paper on The Pacific Coast HAS ALL THE NEWS SUBSCRIBE NOW! Only $2 a Year 1276 Seventh St., Oakland Women's National Headquarters Columbian Press Bureau Washington.—For the first time since its organization in this city 31 years ago, the National association of Colored Women will meet here next August. This association has redeemed and renovated Frederick Douglass' home, at Cedar Hill, and has made it a national shrine for our group. They are coming now to dedicate the beautiful building at Anacostia, D. C. Prejudice Decried Columbian Press Bureau Resolutions were adopted in Jerusalem, on April 7, decrying racial prejudices, and adverse conditions arising from them, as a part of the program of the International Missionary Council, declaring that "all Christian forces should strive to establish religious and educational facilities designed to enable all to enjoy the same social, political, and economic opportunities." It said further that in countries where two races of different color are in preponderance, the "utmost practical equality should be established." Weekly Death Rate In many ways the colored population of New York city occupy first rank, compared to other centres in which there is large Negro population. This even applies to number of deaths and funerals per week which accounts for the number of colored undertakers. Statistics show an average of 84 deaths a week in New York. Chicago and Philadelphia follow with an average of 70 each; New Orleans, 63; Baltimore, 56; Washington, 53; Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, and St. Louis 35 each; Detroit, 28; Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Richmond, and Savannah, 21 each. Tests Jim Crow Law The only Negro woman attorney in New York, Mrs. Ruth Whaley, has filed a $500 suit against the Eastern Steamship Lines because she was refused a de luxe suite on a steamer plving between Norfolk and New York. In her brief, she charges that the steamship company violated the civil rights law by declining to provide her and husband with a cabin on saloon deck, giving them passage in a segregated section. She says her action is to test the constitutionality of the law. Fraternal Societies When and Where They Meet MASONIC GR Officers of the Most Worshipful Sovereigns of the State of O H. WILSON, M. W.

McFarland, who has been secretary of the above union for several years, will resign about May 1, to engage in other work for himself. He played a prominent part in politics at the last election for which he has received a city concession which will in future take his spare time. It can be said of Mac that he has got the Dining Car Cooks and Waiters farther up the road than any one else who has tried. For them he has secured a raise and over $10,000 in back pay. He has them better organized. While Mac has done this, he has like every one who tries, and does things for the group, received more than his share of the knocks. It will soon be seen whether he will be missed. As the month of June draws near we hear Masonic noises of the coming election. The South with Lewis as a spokesman, seems to be a little disgruntled. With so many propositions started, the Masonic temple, the cemeterv, and the endowment, by the present Grand Master Wilson, it appears to us to be unwise to make any change. Let him complete the job. Deputy Moss of San Jose says that he is not a candidate as long as J. H. wants to run. DR. STEPHEN S. WISE Commends Johnson's Negro National Anthem James Weldon Johnson, secretary N. A. A. C. P., and author of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the official Negro national anthem, has received a letter from Rabbi Stephen S. Wise commending his song as the finest of its kind ever written. Dr. Wise heard the students of Morehouse College in Atlanta sing the anthem and was so impressed that he lost no time in getting in touch with Mr. Johnson. The anthem is for sale by Mrs. H. E. De Hart, the secretary of the Northern California branch. Mr R. Redwood, distributor of Pal Pinto Crystals, informs us that his sales for 1927 exceeded the previous year. There is no question as to its effectiveness for rheumatism. Secure a box, and keep it on hand. pe ee C. P. Rose CLG.
