Masters Council carried out in full regalia. The program was carried out under that veteran, P.G. M., Henry Brown as master of ceremonies. The Juveniles used their parts with credit. Mrs. Frances Tyrrel for the Household broke well. P.N.F., J. L. Derrick's minute address was a departure from the usual time honored custom. Another Derrick may have been the best, but the goat "knew his stuff." Newman's remarks were timely and pertinent, and one of the best order has heard in years. The order made a good showing. The Imperial Art Club featured a tea at the residence of Mrs. Bertha Allen, 1087 Sixtv-sixth street, on Sunday afternoon, May 13th. The affair was largely attended, and was a financial success. H. E.

Beasley will take orders for printing, large or small. No. 1302 Divisadio street. R. H. Cassell, who has been visiting his aged father and relatives in Ohio, has returned. Four babies are entered in the contest for the W. W. Missionaryv brazaar, June 21-22. Their names will appear next week OSCAR DE PRIEST When a man dies, his deeds come to life again for a moment. Majar general William J. Benan, aged 87, died last week in New Orleans and south remembered him as a hero of the White Leake which battled the carpet baggers on the streets in 1874. Southerner took whar coacil and comfort they could from Major General Behan's record. In the race of a situation in the North over which they had much concern but no control. For the first time in 27 years a Negro was going to Congress. In Chicago, Mavor William Thompson directed the selection of one of his Nesro ward bosses, a large, greying "race man" of somewhat Thompson. sonian demeanor, to succeed the late Martin B. Madden as the Republican nominee fo U. S. Representa- tive from Chicao's largely Negroid First District. Another daued of unrest in Sou- ern bosoms was the defert of Sen-ator Fess, Republian Keynoter, for delegate-at-large in the Ohin primary lart month, by E. W. B. Curry, a Negro. Mr. Curry ran fifth in the slate of seven delegates for Hoover, which defeated a Willis slate headed by Sen. Fess. Also, last week, in Washington a moveMent was reported among Negro organizations to hold a national convention next month and nominate a white-black for President and Vice. The new nominee, named, Oscar De Priest, was by no means the unanimous choice of his fellow blackmoors. Wm. Dawson, Negro who had run against Mr Madden in the April primapry and lost by less than 12,000 votes, promised to contest Mr De Priest's nomination in court Up- and-coming younger Negroes said tnet De Priest was the oldtime Uncle Tom type, not well suited to represent the modern. Negroin Congress There was also a vice-graft shadow on th De Priest record as a member of the Thompson machine, in which he had functioned as Chicago's first Negro alderman. But these obstacles looked small last week and Chicagoans ae Iwell as Southerners counted on seeing Oscar De Priest's large dusky from in the House Chamber next session The lart negro Congressman was Geo H. White who served in the 56th Congress from Tarboro, N. C. Before him there were 19 Negro Representatives and 2 Negro Senators. A majoritov of them were men of small education.some had attended college, five were lawyers, others were preachers, teachers and planters. Seven were born in slavery When last a Negro's voice was heard in Congress it was pleading chiefly to make lynching a Federal offence. Should Chicago's Oscar De Priest reach the House, doubtless he will take up this plea where North Carolina,s White left off, although the National Association for Advancement of Color People last week announced that a 39-year record had been broken no lynchings reported anywhere in the United States in four months.

ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 EDITORIAL PAGE The Tampa Bulletin has been carrying on a fight against the return of Bishop Hurst to Florida We are not in a position to judge of the merits of the controversy, but the time has past when the cloak of a bishop can hide deceit and corruption. Still some people wonder why the church is losing its influence on the race. The political dopsters are busy figuring how the different aspirants for the Presidential nomination in the two major parties whose conventions are now only a few weeks off. On the Democratic side, it looks as though Al Smith is within striking distance of the nomination, although the two-thirds rule may topple over his seemingly sure thing. In the G. O. P. camp, Hoover seems the best bet, but his fate is in the hands of uninstructed delegates. The national committee will have the usual contesting delegation fights from the South to settle. These contests will be watched with much interest, as it will determine the attitude of the party on the effort to eliminate the Negro from control of the Republican party in the South. This issue is loaded with dynamite. Although our Southern brothers may not be permitted to vote for Presidents, we vote in pivotal States, and the fate of a nation has often hung upon one vote. The South has begun to rave. The Bleases and Heflins are frothing at the mouth because Hoover has given American citizens a square deal. It would seem that the South is barren of statesmen, when these demagogues can find no other issue but "keeping the Negro down." This issue is paramount to all others to this small-bore of politicians who do not know that the war is ended. With one Negro on his way to Washington, and another in the Harlem district standing a good chance to win it seems like poetic justice. The Negro, Jim Crowed, lynched and segregated, is driven out of the South, invades the North, and breaks into Congress. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." The changing of janitors in a large office building in the downtown district and placing whites is a serious matter, and it seems to us that the matter should be investigated to find the cause—not that we could do anything possibly to get these men back, but we owe it to our group to find out whether it was the fault of the men employed, or were they supplanted on account of racial prejudice. If these men were performing their duties efficiently and were discharged because of race, a grave injustice has not only been done to them, but to the race. But, if, on the other hand, they were not proficient, let us know it, so that we may remedy tce fault. We can all profit by mistakes. This loss in wages means something like $1000 a month, or $12,000 a year. Just measure the effect this loss has on our organizations, besides families affected, and another phase of the situation might be taken as a warning how dependent we are, and the more reason we should endeavor to become proficient and thrifty. Will history repeat itself in Liberia? Is the black republic in Africa to fall into greedy hands of exploiters, and the rich heritages of the common people be their undoing? Already we hear rumblings of impending fate that may be like unto bleeding Haiti. Raymond L. Buell, assistant professor of government at Harvard University, has published a book giving a detailed account of the Firestone rubber concessions and the new American loan. In his report, Mr. Buell criticises activities of the State department and the department of commerce in promoting the American rubber and financial interests in Liberia. He states that the million-acre concession obtained by Firestone interests establishes the closed door in Liberia and will result in the confiscation of land, and compulsory native labor. Already, according to the report, the Liberian government has established a labor bureau which furnishes Mr. Firestone with laborers at the ridiculously low rate of one cent a day! The reports state that the French and British governments have deliberately excluded European plantations from the west coast of Africa believing that they are detrimental to native interests. But the United States government has thrown its weight in favor of this system, as opposed to small native farms. Now that the Republicans of Arizona, with their very small percentage of black votes, have given recognition to the group in the selection of J. D. Washington, formerly of this city, as an alternate to the Republican convention at Kansas City we rise to ask what does California propose to do along this particular line of effort? We have black votes here by the thousands, surely deserving of some sort of recognition by the party of Lincoln and Grant. California Eagle. California will continue to ignore the black vote until we get together, and quit taking orders from the bosses and are satisfied with a few crumbs that fall from Caesar's table instead of demanding our full share as American citizens. Brand Answers To the Editor of the Gazette—Your editorial relation to the pension of Mrs. Ada Young has my attention. For your information I will say that $50 per month is much as any widow of a colonel in the U. S. regular army has been allowed as a pension and Mrs. Young is receiving the limit. However, an appeal was made this year to increase this pension to $100 per month, and a precedent was made by the committee in allowing that amount, which will now have to go through House and Senate. Inclosed you will find my remarks before the committee. Yours truly CHARLES BRAND What Is a Demagogue? A demagogue is one who has his gift of fluent speech is able to influence crowds by arguments which seem plausible and apprehensible but which are more likely to hide a mean and dirty scheme which he wishes to put over. A demagogue "believes in" some popular issue in which people bel v — or because he believes it himself, but because he can ride to victory by deceiving people to the extent that he seems to be their champion. The demagogue suits his speeches and public acts to suit the sentiment. No matter what people want, he pretends to favor it. He is their "friend," if he can use them for his own selfish purposes. What is a demagogue?—The Young Allenite. Civil War Pensioner Washington.—An aged race woman is one of two women remaining on the government pension list as mothers of soldiers who fought in the ciuil war, it has just been revealed by department of interior. She is Samantha Farrer, 100 years old, of Athens, Ala. She was pensioned as the dependent mother of Henry Farrer, who enlisted in the Federal army during the civil war as a private, in the 110th infantry. He was taken prisoner at Athens, Ala., in 1864, and died in the Confederate prison at Mobile in January of disease contracted in line of duty. He was captured by Forrest's trainee. Florida Flood Sufferers Careyville, Fla.—The Red Cross officials announce that 250 Negroes and 100 whites were made homeless here by the flood of the C hoataw chee river. Not only were these families made homeless, but all their personal property was lost. The Red Cross has secured $1,000 to relieve their distress.

Moore, Pastor --- PRAYING FOR GOOD MEN Chicago rellious folk have been sending up special prayers that terror be "struck to the agents of darkness and political corruption." A day of prayer was designated in hope of bringing about the selection of men for public office "who will be governed by honest conscience and who will keep the oath of office when they take seats of authority." Nearly 500 clergymen of all creeds responded to the call for prayers. Rev. John Thompson, speaking from the pulpit of Chicago Temple, struck the keynote of the situation when he said that God can aid in ridding the city's ballot boxes of fraud and corruption, but that the citizen must also aid with honest and conscientious votes. It may be said with due reverence that God can and does aid in these things, but that He expects voters to do their part. God should not be expected to do for man that which man could and should do for himself.—Pasadera Star News.

Need of such organization is indicated in the number of bills introduced affecting the Negro. One of the most recent was that introduced which would remove practically every employ from the office of the Recorder of Deeds. In this instance, Dr. Scott himself aroused the press of the country, and influential individuals and organizations and defeated the bill.

Among the beautiful and pathetic happenings at Bethel church Mother's day was the poem, "Only One Mother," and an organ selection, so beautifully rendered by our organist in memory of his dear, departed mother; she passed 1927. The tone and picture of these renditions can never be over-estimated. The poem read by Mrs Ella Foster, commented on by J. H. Fisher, carried us back again to home and mother. Mrs Anna Foster was the soloist of the morning, and rendered in her usual pleasing manner. Then the semon by our assistant Minister Rev Cullever, brought us around the fireside once more.
