James Johnson, of the "Dollar" steamship line, is taking a week's shore leave in order to sign up on a steamer for the summer run; also to relieve himself of some of the dollars earned on the "Dollar" line OAKLAND PETER H. HARRIS WALTER A. BUTLER SECOND PRESIDENT The above is the likeness of the past president of the Northern California branch of the N. A. A. C. P. located at Oakland. When we think of the work and the achievements we must not forget the outstanding feature of his administration. It was he who gave to California its Civil Rights bill. When the copy of the New York bill was sent to Mr Butler by Mr. DuBois, he brought the matter to the attention of the board of directors, but they did not take hold of it, so the bill was turned over to the late Eugene Jackson, C. P. Harper and John Tavlor, who brought it to the attention of the Sheriff, Tom Finn. He said it was a good thing, and had all the politicians get behind it in Sacramento at the legislature. E. Jackson and Tavlor were sent up as lobbvists, but discovered that Fred Roberts had a bill to introduce. Taylor wired back to Tom Jackson to allow Roberts to present the Butler bill and he, Roberts, would withdraw his. This was sanctioned by Butler and Roberts presented it, but he allowed some of the weak-kneed Senators to eliminate the jail sentence without even consulting the committee, and it was put over that way. W. A. Butler did not forgive Roberts for years after. Rev. J. H. Brown of Pasadena is spending his vacation among his old haunts. His many friends are always glad to see him. NO.31 Fred M. Hunter Retires Several fraternal and civic leaders participated in a testimonial dinner Thursday given to Fred M. Hunter, retiring superintendent of Oakland schools. This is the same Mr Hunter who was so persistent in opposing the application of our only race teacher, Miss Jackson. It was only through untiring efforts of Anita Whitney, Rev. Wallace, and the N. A. A. C. P., and Miss Jackson's courage that won out. Every available and unavailable excuse that Mr Hunter could find to prevent Miss Jackson was dug up. She was at last assigned to the Prescott school, where we understand that she is making good. A fair and bazaar for the benefit of the Fifteenth Street Church was held this week in the lecture room. Many beautiful and useful articles were on sale. Geo. Jones, who was a member of the Fifteenth Street church choir left last week for Los Angeles, where he has been offered a contract to go on the concert stage. Sanobar Club Dance The Snnebar Social and Pleasure Club gave their monthly affair on Monday evening, April 30th, at the Pacific Roof Garden on Jefferson st.

JOSEPH CLINTON 723½ Main St., Red Bluff, Cal. ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 EDITORIAL PAGE It seems that the conscience of the American people has been lulled to sleep over the policy of our government's interfering in domestic affairs of little republics on this continent. It is alleged that all blamance of constitutional government has ceased in Haiti, and down in the Southern republic the people who refuse to submit to conditions imposed by the American government are designated as rebels and bandits and whenever a protest is raised in this country, you hear much about protecting American rights This means American dollars exploiting the resources of those countries. But notice the difference, in this country, several million citizens have no voice in their government, and every law that was designed to protect the citizens has been ignored or repealed. Yet we send marines to a foreign territory to guard the sacred ballot boxes of our neighbors. This is consistency personified. We note through the press that the Mexican immigration problem has become an issue in the Congressional elections in southwestern Texas. We have viewed this matter from an economic standpoint as it affected our group. In the sections affected we do know that our workers have been supplanted by these people or forced to their standard of living. Naturally, big interests seek labor in the cheapest market, and no one has yet to hear of these big orchardists pouring out any sympathy for the common people—they are always ready for their pound of flesh. Our organizations fail utterly to grasp these problems that are menacing our progress. We should let Congressmen and Senators know how we feel, and not wait until some legislation is put over, and then cry out. The time to enter protest is when legislation is pending, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The Ku Klux Klan, it would seem, has about shot its bolt. Turning the light on its nefarious practices of corruption and even murder has caused a revulsion of feeling towards this organization parading under guise of patriotism. The Klan case just ended in Pittsburgh, Penn., before Federal Judge Thomson, who read a formal opinion from the bench in terms as strong as any private enemies of that organization have ever used; he called it an "unlawful organization" coming into court "with filthy hands after open and flagrant violation of the law." He represents, in the opinion of the Cincinnati Enquirer, "the fierce sunlight of forces of law, order and civilized process before which the terrorism and sinister tendencies of Ku Kluxism must fade and shrivel into nothingness." What part shall our group play in the great political game pending? Shall it be positive or negative, or shall we stand at the crossroad of indecision and allow venal would-be leaders to deliver us to the bosses for a mess of pottage or shall we be quickened by the rising tide of race consciousness, throw off the yoke of political serfdom, and assert ourselves as men, choose our own leaders and cast into oblivion the underworld bosses who skulk in the dark, and betray us into the hands of our enemies? We want representation, but it must be decent, not the sort for which we must make apologies, and the pernicious slogan of "getting mine while the getting is good." to the exclusion of racial interest must be discounted. It has no place in the scheme of racial solidity, and the respectable element of our group should broadcast the fact to the powers that are. While no particular group can lay claim to all the virtues we are judged by the company we keep. "Avoid the inclination to do shady work. It reacts upon your character, and becomes visible in all your dealings." Is it a coincidence that two of our esteemed contemporaries have the same editorial, entitled "Coolidge to Gettysburg?" Possibly it is a case of two editorial minds running in the same channel. Anyhow we assume that the editors are not guilty of plagiarism, as no quotation marks are visible. In an opinion handed down last week by Justice Holmes in the U.S. Supreme Court, the suit of a Texas colored voter for $5,000 damages against election judges for refusing to permit him to vote at a primary was upheld, and contentions of the defence that subject matter of the dispute was political and not within the jurisdiction of the court, and no violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments was shown were swept aside. CANDIDATES VIEWS SOUGHT Washington.—Eleven Republican and Democratic Presidential aspirants were called upon last week by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts for expressions as to their positions regarding the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments. Mr. Tinkham said that the two amendments are wholly nullified in many States, and that this nullifica tion "results in dishonest and unconstitutional elections to Congress and taints with fraud and illegitimacy the election of a President." He said he had written to Secretary Hoover, ex-Gov. Lowden, Senators Curtis, Watson, Goff, Norris, Reed, Walsh and George, Governor Smith and Governor Ritchie. Wins $35.000 Suit Los Angeles.—L. P. Grant, colored real estate man, won a decision in his case against William King, part Creek Indian, from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, in Superior Judge Tryon's court. Defendant is a reputed millionaire through discovery of oil. Action was brought by the realty man over contract for purchase of a $35,000 residence. He was given a verdict for the full amount. COLORED BOY STARS Los Angeles. In spite of great work done by race track and field men on Jefferson High, after a long seven years of failure, Los Angeles High took the city league track and field meet at the Colosseum. Robinson, colored hurdler of Jefferson, led the field in the 120 yard hurdles Los Angeles High's score was 5011 points. Manual came next with 25 SETS JAVELIN RECORD Los Angeles.—Margaret Jenkins who is the pride of her classmates, broke the women's record for the javelin throw in the Western track and field championship for girls. Policemen Fined Los Angeles. - Two policemen W. C. Caldwell and Glenn Hansen were brought before the board of police commissioners, charged with assaulting Walter J. Neelev, colored Each was fined ten days' pay. PRIZE-FIGHTING REPEAL O K'D Los Angeles. — Support of an initiative measure to prohibit prizefighting in California was voted by the annual convention of the State Church Federation. The convention approved a campaign to obtain 100,000 signers for the petition. ;Dr Larkin, secretary of the Federation, will be in charge of the campaign. The proposed measure would repeal the boxing and wrestling law which legalizes twelve-round bouts. Los Angeles.—Don't worry about the flood, as none of our people were lost. They are not allowed to own property in that district or live there therefore none of our folks were in it.—Cleveland Gazette. GRAND INDOOR SIRKUS AND FAIR JUNE 15 AND 16,1928 B. T. W.

Make County Pay Washington.—A new anti-lynching bill has been introduced in the House by Berger of Wisconsin. The bill would make it a felony to take part in a mob attack, or for a State officer to permit a prisoner to be taken from him. The measure would penalize the county in which the mob attack occurred. Participation in a mob attack would be punishable by imprisonment from one to five years or a fine of $5,000 or both. An officer who failed to protect a prisoner could be punished by imprisonment from two to ten years, or a fine or $10,000, or both. A county in which a homicide or injury was committed as result of such an attack would be penalized $10,000, the sum to be used by the person injured, or by his family should be killed in the attack Ku Klux Klan's Finish The Ku Klux Klan's rule by mask and lash in Alabama, characterized as a reign of terror by a local grand jury, has hastened the downfall of the order, according to R. A. Patton in Current History. "In Northern States," he says, "physical violence was less prevalent, but elections were bought and sold, competent men opposed to the Klan and its principles were forced from office and incompetents took their places, municipal, county and State governments were but evicted with rottenness and intrigue. Whole States were under the Klan domination, as witness Oregon, with its attempt to eliminate the parochial and private schools; Texas, Colorado, Indiana Kansas, Louisiana, to lesser extent Illinois, and later Alabama." Among the trocities reported as committed by the Klan in Alabama Mr. Patton reports the following— "A lad whipped with branches until his back was ribboned flesh; a colored woman beaten and left helpless to contract pneumonia from exposure and die; a white girl beaten unconscious in her own home; a naturalized foreigner flogged until his back was a pulp because he married an American woman; a colored man lashed until he sold his land to a white man for a fraction of its value—these are only a few cases." Hayti or Santo Domingo? There is difference of opinion as to whether the West Indian Island which comprises the two countries of Havti and the Dominican republic, should be called Havti or Santo Domingo. The Pan American Union savs Santo Lomingo is correct; the United States Geographical Board savs Havti was the native name of the island when Columbus landed in 1492 and called it Espangnola. The French colony which gained control of a part of the island was called St. Dominique, but when the French were driven out in 1804, the name Havti was revived. Shortly after the Spaniards re-established themselves in the eastern part of the island, retaining the French name, modified to Santo Domingo, but in 1821 lost control, and from 1822 to 1843, the whole island was under one government as the republic of Hayti. In 1844 the eastern portion of the island again asserted its independence of Hayti and established the Dominican republic, which seems to be the proper name, consisting of the two countries, Hayti on the west end and the Dominican republic on the east end of the island.

Madden, Republican, Illinois, it appeared certain to-dav. The Chicago district represented by Madden, whose sudden death in his capitol office yesterday shocked his colleagues, is almost totally a Negro district, having Negro representatives in the State legislature and city council. It recently chose two Negro Republican national committeemen. Madden was opposed by three Negroes in his recent race for renomination. His closst opponent, Wm. J. Dawson, whom he defeated by 13,000 votes, may be the next House member from the district. A special election probably will be held in June. Negroes came to Congress first in reconstruction days. There have been twenty in the House, and two Negro Senators. $100,000 FOR COLLEGE Negre alumni of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., have raised $100,000 to carry out their plans of expansion for the college. The building program includes six new structures. The entire plan for campus buildings and furnishing embraces expenditure of $1,500,000 NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY A newspaper correspondent asked Senator Borah upon what plank he thought the Democrats might have chance to undermine the Republican administration. "Prosperity," said the Senator. "That always sounds good." "But the Republican party has a prosperity record. How can Democrats hope to make capital of that?" "Because the Democratic idea of prosperity is any period to which they can point, and say that things might have been worse."—Detroit Free Press. Ask Purnell--He Knows "Are you sure," an anxious patient asked a physician, "are you sure that I shall recover?

Jamaican production and profits are upon a particularly upward trend at this time. Education Increases Earning Power Columbian Press Bureau That one’s earning power is largely and definitely based upon education is indicated by a report of the Federal Bureau of Educa- tion, which shows that untrained persons earn an average of from $400 to $1200 a year. Those with a common scheol education, from $600 to $1500. High school grad- uates earn an average of $850 to $2450 and coliege graduates «rom $1,400 to $5,000. Slightly more than two per cent. of Americans over the age of 21 are college graduates, wnile neariy five per cent. have some cojlege training and slighily in excess of six-per cent. are high school graduates. * * Little Ethiopia Columbian Press Bureau - Ruanda, which might be called the Little Ethivpia of Africa, is settling down, largely under the native control, afier having been a football of African mandates. A_bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographical So- ciety tells of this seldom visited kingdom on the roof of Africa. Ruanda may be considered as a small edition of Ethiopia or Abyssinia, because next to the regent of that country its suler is probably the most powerful native chief on the Dark Conti- nent. The country formed the western tip of Germany’s vast territorial holdings in Africa. Honesty Wins Columbian Press Bureau a Honorable service to clients rather than accumulatng wealth should be the aim of young men entering practice of law, Judge Stone of the supreme court told members of a law school recently Clients go to attorneys on whose honesty and integrity they can depend, Judge Stone declaied.

Much has been said about the coming Republican national con- vention, which meets in Kansas City, June 10, with regard to the purported plans for segrega‘ion of Negro delegates. The writer who has: attended these conven- tions regularly during the last 16 years, is of opinion that much of fuss about segregation is a case of much ado about nothing The Negro delegates may he assured that as to hotel accommodations they will be treated as well at Kansas City as thev were at Chicago or Cleveland. No reser- vations were made for us at white hotels at those places and we see no cause for apprehension about being housed at Kansas City. As in other cities, Negro dele- gates will be accorded all privi- leges of conferences with party leaders at any of the hotels, free and unrestricted, as it has been in other cities. As to sleeping and other accommodations, they have been amply provided for. Broadcasting from Station N-A-A-C-P NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BRANCH FATHER D. R.
