Mother's day will be observed in all of our churches next Sunday in San Francisco. Colored janitors were let out of the Oceanic building on May 1, and white took their places. No reason was assigned for the change. The force consisted of nine men. This is regrettable at this time, when the unemployment condition is so acute Closing exercises of the Thomas Dramatic School will be held at the Third Baptist church on June 4th—Everybody welcome. The Minerva Study Club, of which Miss L. Larkin is president, held its monthly meeting on May 1 at Mrs. Ella Foster's, 2462 Clay st. The afternoon was delightfully and profitably spent. H. R.

When asked why a white girl's picture was put on the display cards we are informed that the manager of the contest said it would cost too much for a colored girl's picture. We are selling this as we bought it. We feel Mrs. Rutinella French-Summers of Chico picture is nice enough to grace any display card, and several others we could mention. However we will leave them in the hands of "Old Man meadder." Trying to sell stock in the newspaper. And now what next. OAKLAN Big initiation at Athens Lodge on May 20th. Elks, be there. Mr and Mrs Ruffin have changed their residence to 908-38th st The Insurance boys club trimmed the Red Caps baseball club 9 to 7 at Ward park, Berkeley, on Sunday Arguments are costly at times. H. L.

Henderson of Berkelev left on Saturday to visit relatives in Modesto. The little disturbance on the Key boat the other morning did not amount to anything although the newspapers stressed it as an awful affair. We do not question the veracity of some of our papes but we do say that the way they flirt with the truth and deal in yellow journalism leads one to think maybe they were shell-shocked too The Athens Home Association has decided to give its dance on May 29 at the Elks' Home. New features will be introduced. Watch for the advertisement. A new picnic ground opened at 86th avenue, Melrose, on Friday, May 11th. It is to be operated by a member of our group.

The affair was pleasing in every wav. Ten cases of smallpox were reported in Oakland the past week. The recallers who have been after the scalp of Commissioner Young have failed again—300 ordered their names to be taken from the petition thus the petition lacked sufficient names to make it effective Mrs Charles Baker gave a dinner on May 5th at her residence for the benefit of the Church of Christ, on 29th st. The affair was reported a success, and the little band of worshippers at this church feel grateful for this whole-hearted effort on the part of Mrs. Baker. Thos. Hall, a laborer, was kicked by a horse last week, his thigh being fractured. He is at the Highland hospital. Wait for the dance on May 30th —particulars later.

VALLEY NEWS By Vera Wvsinger Raisin day most unusual Joaquin Valley event was celebrated for the twentieth time in Fresno on April 28th. Raisin day has begun to mean more to the Negroes of the valley, because they are striving to be recognized by other races. For the second time in its history Negro Citizens Advancement League put over a big program. A valley-wide contest for Queen of the Negro float closed Thursday with Miss Bessie Malone as the winner. Miss Olga Lewis, of Hanford, was the first attendant, and Mrs L. Estes, of Bakersfield, third. Others were Zora Sims and Mrs Ida Crawford of Tulare, and Miss Kimball and Miss Berry, of Fresno.

On Saturday, the Queen and her six attendants mounted the float and paraded the streets. After parade the Queen, her attendants and the boy scouts of Bakersfield were guests at the dinner at the Tavern de Sheba. Dinner and the dansant which followed it were sponsored by the Negro Citizens Advancement League. We are proud to say that the Negro float received first prize, a large silver loving cup. On Saturday afternoon at Garibaldi hall Messrs Moulden. King, Waikins, and Hodnut, gave a dance. Music was furnished by Seitus Rhythm Makers of Oakland.

JOSEPH CLINTON 723½ Main St., Red Bluff, Cal. ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 EDITORIAL PAGE Mother's day! What a glorious conception was designation of one day to "Mother," your mother, our mother. All honor and veneration to the mothers. The verv word causes us to pause in this busy world, and worship at the shrine of motherhood. That boy and girl who have strayed from the paths of rectitude are reached by that magic influence of mother. Brave men who have died upon battle-fields for their country—their last thoughts were of that woman around whose knees they played and before whom they offered up their childish prayer to the Deity. We have many days devoted to all manner of objects, but none can make a more human appeal to our nobler instincts, or have a more soothing effect on the baser impulses of mankind than Mother's day. Here is to our "Mothers, God bless them!" California's Presidential primary has settled the question of whom the Democrats prefer for President, which as predicted in these columns would be "Al" Smith, and the impressive vote Hoover received with no contest attests the popularity of the Far West candidate. Of course many things can happen before the convention meets in June, but so far it looks as though Hoover has the edge on the nomination. Politicians are speculating upon the strength of the several candidates and what will be paramount issues on which the battle will be fought. With Smith carrying the Bourbon banner, and he is known to be dripping wet, will he dare come out direct for nullification of the 18th amendment, or will his declaration be a straddle? Some gentlemen have met somewhere, and indorsed some one for Assemblyman in the 39th district. Of course, these indorsements may be all right, but we believe the race should be consulted. What do they know about the fitness of this gentleman? Who vouches for his character? If we are to present a united front, there must be no back room politics of a few would-be leaders fixing things up, and then appealing to racial solidity for support. Of course you will be termed a knocker when you will not stand by meekly and be led to the slaughter. We have nothing to gain by having incompetent and ignorant men as leaders, but we have much to lose. All eves are on Chicago. Will Oscar De Priest be the first of his aace to break into Congress from a Northern State? Let us hope that our group will unite, and put the programme over. Placing a colored man on the ticket by the G.O.P. is good politics at this time, when there is so much unrest in the ranks of the black troops. "Al" Smith seems a name to conjure with, and any false moves by managers of the Republican party will drive thousands of Negroes into the Smith camp. In this State, our group have been contemptuously ignored by the State administration, and a United States Senator is to be chosen. Disfranchisement is a back number now—it is obsolete and any other old thing of the dead past. If there ever was a cause for it, that cause has been long since re moved. The Negro has moved up from where he was—moved of his own accord, and then by inspiration that comes from others. In many cases he moved up by help of the very ones who disfranchised him, and now labor to make the disfranchise more durable. The Negro has beat the disfranchiser at the game of advertising. He has left the region of ignorance of forty years ago, and disfranchisers are right there yet—looking where the Negro was, but is not. If illiteracy justified the disfranchisement, righteousness ought to justify abolishment of it when illiteracy is removed. The Negro wants the ballot. Those who took it from him because he was illiterate ought to restore it of their own accord since the Negro, with their assistance, has removed the cause. The Pensacola Negro is right in his contention and has the financial and moral support not only of the race, but of white people who would be great. — Tampa Bulletin. UNITY (Star of Zion) Unity is a charming word—a beautiful word with which to conjure. It is a good and pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in unity, for brethern will each other no harm. "In unity there is strength," and how we love to orate and to scribble about it! Preachers enjoin it, poets sing about it; unity—how glorious, how grand! Unity is glorious and grand if it has a glorious and grand purpose. It is mean and devilish if its purpose is low and base. For any group or set of men to unite against a person for his destruction who refuses to suppress his individuality and become a door-mat is devilish. To unite to promote a selfish scheme or to destroy men is satanic. We do not need to plead for unity among influences of this character. We have heard of men asking those of their class to aid them in killing off somebody that they could not control. Do we want that kind of unity? Unity may, or it may not, be a good thing. The very devils are united, and they are filling the world with horror and shame. We want a union of good men—men whose aims and purposes are good; men who are intent on saving and building up men—men in whom is the spirit of Christ; men who are willing that everyone shall have the privilege of thinking and acting for himself. If men will not unite upon good and constructive things, it were better that they be divided for ever. Down in the citrus belt, where big things are put over in a night: a new city hall was recently dedicated amid the acclaim of the citizens. All this was well until it came to the banquet in the swell Biltmore hotel, but we will let Mrs. Bass of the Eagle tell what happened: "Up to this point, we had been treated as American citizens, taking our place in the natural order of events. When we reached the dining hall of the beautiful Biltmore hotel, we were graciously directed to a table near the stage entrance and far enough removed from the women's committee, with which we had assiduously served, not to be able to even see the crowns of their heads. At the table where we were invited to sit were Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Attorney Willis O. Tyler, Mrs. Clara Hulbert, Mrs. C. D. Robinson, and Wm. H. (Pop) Sanders. As we sat, we looked best we could over the spacious dining room and noted that of all the nationalities represented, including hyphenated Americans, none were segregated except the Negro, and when we suggested protest against this procedure, Mr. Sanders spoke up, saving that he was a 'nigger,' and preferred the arrangement which placed the 'niggers' together. To this retort we answered that we were neither sorry nor ashamed of being a Negro, but aside from being a Negro we were American citizens and should be treated as such." This is a condition that confronts our group, not only in Los Angeles, but in all centres where the "Big Negro" acts as the gobetween of the bosses. As the Cleveland Gazette calls them "W.F.N." Decipher what these letters stand for.' Richmond, Va—On recommendation of the colored attorneys of this city, J. C. Robertson has been appointed as a commissioner of the circuit court by Judge Gunn. He is the only colored man who has ever held such a position here.

Harris Indorsed For Congress New York.—The Kings county Republican committee has gone on record as indorsing George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, as candidate for Congress from the Harlem district. Mr. Harris, who formerly served as alderman from the 21st assembly district, was at the meeting, at which time the Kings county Republican men's conference was formed. to secure the fullest cooperation of other organizations in the Brooklyn district. Harris has an even better than fair chance of winning election if he is nominated, and it is expected that he will run independently of the organization if he fails to secure the nomination. Our Funeral Bill Columbian Press Bureau Washington.—With approximately 170,000 deaths last year among our group, our funeral bill, conservatively estimated at $200 a funeral, not including the flowers, amounted to $34,000,000 enough to support 34,000 families on a modest income of $1,000 a year. While there are those who would place higher estimate on average cost of funerals, it is believed that the amount stated is sufficiently accurate to indicate that we are putting an enormous sum of money in the ground each year. Because of growing tendency for more expensive funerals a movement should be started to discourage extravagant and unnecessary display. We are too weak financially to permit our feelings for those who have gone to interfere unreasonably with our duty to the survivors, who frequently, are penniless after funeral expenses are paid. Sues Officials Columbian Press Bureau Pensacola, Fla.—Henry Goode, a Negro, has filed suit for $5,000 damages against white managers of an election booth, wherein he says he was prohibited from voting. Goode went to the precinct voting place, armed with qualifying credentials, but was refused a ballot. Fred Marsh, clerk of the United States court, and a practising attorney of this city, is representing the plaintiff. It is said that over 2,000 Negroes were registered, but that none was permitted to vote.

Dr Pickens writes the national office is busy in its information section answering questions concerning the trip to Los Angeles and advises us to be ready to receive the big body of Eastern people who are coming. Golden Gate Lodge, Odd Fellows renewed their membership in the N.A.A.C.P., last meeting, although it does not expire until September. They wished to assist the present drive. All visitors who are members of the Northern California branch, and who intend attending the national conference of the National Association to be held at Los Angeles June 27 to July 3, will please notify Secretary, Thornwall 3748. The national office is asking for names of all in attendance, along with the delegates. Mrs. Alicia Butler of 1914 Sutter street, chairman of the drive committee, of San Francisco branch, is still in the lead for the memberships secured. Mrs. Butler is a natural, born leader—one of the kind that says: "Come on, boys," not "Go on." Branches throughout the State of California are issuing invitations to delegates and visitors to N.A.A.C.P annual conference in Los Angeles. Dr. Hudson, president Los Angeles branch, states that a one-day entertainment of delegates is being planned in San Francisco under leadership of J. Howard Butler, president of the San Francisco branch. All those desiring to travel in the "On to Los Angeles" special cars leaving Oakland, should write for reservations and information where and when to meet to Mrs. H. E. De Hart, secretary. We should pack the Auditorium at Berkeley when Mrs Jane Hudson stages the vaudeville show for the N.A.A.C.P. The Grove street cars will take you to the door. Don't forget the date, June 18. Mr. Bagnall from the New York office of N. A. A. C. P. is to be here in June. Do not fail to hear him. A. GEO. W. WILSON GRAND SECRETARY F. & A.
