C. and Georgia Campaign. WOULD ASK GOD in TO DEPRIVE HIM OF CIVIL RIGHTS New York, July 26-"You have had REFORMERS NEVER HAVE A in the United States, since Parker's CtNT defeat, 11 lynchings, and you will have more" shouted Cole Blease in Union, S. C., on July 7, according to the Columbia, S. C., State. Confirmation is thus given to what has been generally believed by intelligent ob- a cent. Had these reformers been animated To use a modern expression, "I have sat in the game" with various groups of progressives, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they never had servers that the ,mobs depended on the success in the campaign, against confirmation, against John J. Parker, and resorted to mob terrorism in an efforts to crush the spirit of Negroes. "Whenever the 'Negro press' and 'nigger associations' are to tell me how to vote," the South Carolina Senator declares, "then I ask my God to deprieve me of the right to vote. White supremacy and the protection of the virtue of the white womanhood of the South, come first with me." In this fashion Bltase resorfs to his usnal tactics in dragging the sex question into every aspect of the Negro's strnggle for his rights. ---o--- LEGION SECURf:S EBONY PLAYERS Famous Orchestra to Give a Concert and Play for Dance at Legion Hall Friday Evening. Lake View, Ore., July 15-William J. Goodlette and his Ebony Serenaders, the famous colored orchestra of eleven artists, will arrive in Lakeview Friday night for an engagement here. They will come in their speciall constructed automobiles and open with a concert her~ at the American Legion Pavillion from eight P. M. to 9:30. After this they will play for a red hot dance, full of pep and vigor at the pavillion. Coming directly from McElroy's Spanish Ballroom in Portland they promise the finest music ever presented in Lakeview. Being the only organization of this kind in America, they should thrill the dancers and entertainment seekers to the utmost as this orchestra sings, plays, and dances like no other. San Francisco Evangelist Preaching At Roseburg, Ore. by the money-grabbing desire, such an instinct would have stifled their deep love for mankind and their efforts would have been fruitless. Although they have been destitute of what we term worldly goods, they were rich-far richer than the so-called wealthy ones who sneered at their poverty-rich in the service of mankind, rich in the joy of selfless giving to struggling, suffering humanity. Men and women who labor unceas1ugty for the ~t.Winn,n goud don:t d so for selfish motives, nor for personal aggrandizement, but becanse they firmly believe in the Fatherhood of Man. They seeks to bring about a Heaven on Earth, as much as is humanly possible, by the right kind of laws. They know the legislatiofl sought by th.e Special Interests and Politicai Bo.sses often results in a Hell onEarth. These self-sacrificing workers seek to secure the right kind of statutes-those which will exemplify "Peace on Earth Good Will to Men." It seems almost ridiculous to imagine that penniless toilers can achieve any results over the entrenched Mammonites, but victories have been attained nevertheless, all over the globe. Right must prevail in time. In Oregon we have secured the Initiative and Referendum, the Direct Primary, the Recall, Workingmen's Compensation Act, Widow's Pension, and other humanitarian measures. Numerous states have also made advancement along social and economic legislation through the impetus of penniless groups. If people complain now of economic and legislative injustice, what would they have thought of conditions we had to me~t and overcome in earlier days. Yet we faced them and fought the battle just as fearlessly as did David when he went forth to battle with Gol~ath. David had ,orily a sling and pebbles, just as the modern Davids of today have nothing but the sling of justice and the pebbles of righteousness. Goliath was armed with armour of gold and the spear of greed and puffed up with pride and power. Goliath no doubt taunted David and called him a "Crazy Reformer," a "Bolshevick," and a "pestilent fellow," just as the Selfish Interests impune the motives and attack the characters of the modern reformers now-a-days.

Magazine Hails Northwest As Great Pleasure Playground Frderick Lewis, travel writer, hails the Pacific Northwest as the great pleasure ground of America in an article outlining vacation in that region appearing in Woman's Home Companion. Excerpts from the article follow: Rising out of the Seattle and Tacoma skylines, so near that its presence is always felt and almost always seen, is Mount Rainier, which because of its magnificent insolation is the most imposing single mountain in the world. Portland has a mountain too; not so high as Rainier and not so curious, but friendly. In fact that is what Portlanders call Mount Hood: "The Friendly Mountain." And Portland has a river-two of them-flowing through valleys of unimagined loveliness. The Columbia is one of our mightiest American streams; and the highway which lines its banks is the most spectacular river drive in the western world. It hangs for nearly two hundred miles to precipitous cliffs, hops across skyline bridges from one tossed-up mountain to the next, dips under waterfalls of unbelivable height and plunges headlong through gorges and cascades along the historic "Old Oregon Trail." Portland itself is a community of shining 'beauty, of mellow life; of green grass, of flowers everywhere. But Lher'e ·is -nothing in Portland S"O lovely few in the world, for that matteras its great American corniche, the Columbia River Highway. TOB~S SORRY ASINGLE GOLD ST4R MOTHER WENT ON TRIP New York, July 28-"My only regret is that a single mother has made plans to go," is the way Channing H. Tobias, of the Y. M. C. A. National Council, expresses himself on the "Jim Crowing" of colored Gold Star Mothers by the W-ar Department. This opinion is expressed by Mr. Tobias in a letter addressed to the NationaL Association for the Advancement of Colored People in which Mr. Tobias registers strong approval of the Association's campaign against segregation of and discrimination against colored Gold Star Mothers by the Vf ar Department.

PROMINENT PHYSICIAN BREAKS INTO POETRY SHOULD DOCTORS COURT THE MUSE? By Walter Fridi.a, M.D. You ask me how a doctor learns In metric terms to write, When in his heart he often yearns, A poem to indite; You wonder how I'd break away From med'cal phrases terseFrom dry and musty books of lore To easy flowing verse. Must I confess with keen regret, · That I have failed to learn The art to write in phrasei bright, The thoughts that in me burn; Or make them flow and leap and glow In sweet poetic tone, Though rh}'JDes I see in bird ancl bee, And every rolling &tone? Ah! yes, for I who write these lines, Can lay no claim to art; I simply write to spread the faith That dwells within my heart. I do not claim poetic grace, Nor words of classic chimes; I only claim my soul has breathed True life into my rhymes. For av'rage folks I write my verse, And they will catch my drift, For simple rh}'JDe will oftentimes A falling soul uplift. Perhaps my lame and halting words, l\fay reach some aching heart, And there acclaim the highest aims, Which faith and hope impart. Like you, yourself, I've tasted life, With its vicissitu~ , And felt the hopes and joys and strife, To which my verse alludes. I've often felt the cares you feel, And make the same mistakes I've dreamed the dreams that you have dreamt, And felt the same heart aches. Without possessing technic grace I've felt the poets urge, ' And sought to write in simple rhyme, The thoughts that in me surge. If they shall lift a load somewhat Or point to higher plane, ' Then I shall not my rh}'JDes regret Nor feel I wrote in vain. _ So ask me not to tell you how, A doctor learns to write; Just lift your eyes to far-flung skies Upon a cloudless night. SOUTH SHAMED AND DISTURBED BY DEMAGOGUES Anti Negro Ravings of Politicians a Menace at Home an·d Abroad, Southern Y. W. C. A. Leaders Are Told Blue Ridge, N. C., July 24-"Senator Cole Blease's recent public defense of lynching illustrates the fact that the anti-Negro ravings of political demagogues have done more than anything else to discredit the South abroad and disturb its peace and tranquility at home," asserted R. B. Eleazer, Education Director of the InterRacial Commission, in an address here yesterday before the Y. W. C. A. Community Conference. "Solely for the purpose of coining ignorance and prejudice into votes," said Mr. Eleazer, "these pseudo-statesmen habitually misrepresent and discredit the South by broadcasting the impression that it is a land of morons and savages. How often have our cheeks burned with humilation as they 'strutted their stuff' in Congress or on the stu;;,p, while the world looked on in derision and disguest ! With the Psalmist we are constrained to say, 'How long, Oh Lord! How Long!" "Meantime their frenzied appeals to race prejudice sow the seeds of distrust and hostility at home, and tend to make enemies of two races that normally are friendly and should continue so. It is high time for the intelligence and patriotism of the South to repudiate at once and forever such false and dangerous leadership." The statement was heard by an audience of two hundred women from all parts of the South. By prolonged applause and many private expressions the group evidenced their approval of the sentiment expressed by the speak, er.

SAYS JUDGES ARE HYSTERICAL WRITER TAKES COOLIDGE TO TASK PORTLAND MUST SAVE HER TREES The circuit Court judges have gone hysterical again on long sentences as witness the sentencing of a holdup to 15 years in prison by Judge Hewitt this week. I an:i rather surprised that the man wasn't given 25 years. It corresponds to _the case of a man now serving his seventh year out of a sentence of 15 years at the hands of a Jackson County Judge for a holdup. The man was starving and held up a citizen with a pistol which had no cartridges in it. He found enough money in his victim's pocket to pay for a meal at the nearest restaurant which cost him on~ - .dollar. Wl1en he had finished eating his meal he walked out of the restaurant into the arms of the sheriff. The next day, he was in the Oregon prison. While comparison are odious, and in this case, the nauseating flavor is against Oregon, compare these holdup sentences with the case in Los Angeles where a pursesnatcher was held for examination by the psychiartists. I sometimes wii;h we could hold our judges and district attorney deputies for pyschiatric examinations. God knows they need it. --0-- Coolidge says in his latest soothing DePriest Sends Another Negro Boy to West Point M.A. CHICAGO LAD IS ADMITTED TO OFFICERS'. SCHOOL Washington, D. C.-Deton J.

July 14, 1930 Editor, The Advocate: It is not the desire of the writer to enter into_any controversy, nor is tl;iere a desire for undue criticism, but there appeared in recent issue-under the column title of "Arrow Tips" a criticism of the Mooney case in which the Governor of California was placed in an 1, enviable pubic attitude. The unjustness of the accusation of "Kits Reid" was, no doubt, the result of a hasty conclusion brought about by an insufficient study of the case. The Governor gave a close and earnest study to the voluminous testimony. For the past seven months On a recent visit to Portland by R. J. Prince of Oakland, California, he was served at the Portland Hotel by I. L. Burnett, who served Mr. Prince the first time he visited the Portland 40 year ago and ate in the popular hostelry's dining room. Mr. Bur~ett is still on the job, and bears a record of fine service.

Make Portland's Own Store Your Shopping Headquarters research, he submitted the case of Warren Billings to the Supreme Court of the state for a review. The Governor's attitude was, that the cases of the two men were so closely identical that each was coequally innocent or guilty. The action of the Supreme Court was adverse in the case of Billings. The advice of the Advisory Pardon Board was sought. That board is made up of U. S. Webb, Attorney General; James A. Johnston, Director of the Department of Penology; Court Smith, Warden Folsom; James B. Holohan, 'N/arden San Quentin, and H. L. Carnahan, Leiutenant Governor, California. The Supreme Court is composed of seven justices. Men noted as legal lights of modern times. The chief is William H. Waste. These men reviewed the records of the trial from every legal angle.

Evidently the furore caused by Mrs. O,car De Priets' having tea at the W!hite House and the Negro's sue• cessful protestation of Judge Parker's appointment to the United States supreme court )las had its effect upon President Hoover, since he has declined to send a message of greeting to the National Conference of the N.A.

In another column of tbis issue of The Advocate is a news item telling about a local restaurant drawing the color line •by informing one of our club 'women that she could not be served there any more; that it was not the policy to serve colored people in the restaurant. The restaurant is Mannig's. It might be advisable for col· ored people who have been patronizing the Manning's stores to cease it. We have patronized the Manning's stores on 4th ;ind Alder and also on Yamhill street for man; years but from now on and until the Manning stores cease to draw the color line, we shall find other stores with which to spend our money. Colored .people must learn not only not to spend their money where they cannot work but also not to spend their money where they cannot eat. besides it might be something objectionable. For in the opinion of the Oregonian "the Negro type as we see it here does not parallel the Moorish type," and it is quite unbelievable that an American Negro should read the Shakepearian lines "more in the accent of Mayfair than in that of the cotton fields of the United States south."

The people are tired of strife and wars; they are asking if sacrifices already made have not been enough, asking what has been gained and why peace cannot be ne· goiated 'before the coming of utter ruin and despair. Enough men have died, enough loss has been ,susta1rted, h'earts enough have been broken, and surely innocent children and women enough have suffered hardships to cause the whole world to long for peace. Let us pray for the nations to lay down their arms and shake hands across the abyss of • distrust, suspicion and greed that divides them. --- Street Corners One of the worst habits that any one can form is that of hanging on the street corners to gossip. We noticed recently colored men and also instances of colored women, standing on the street corners gossiping. The practice looks bad and conveys a bad impression to many people who think that colored people don't know how to deport themselves. It cannot be urged too strongly that colored people must be more careful. Remember that the whole race is misjudfl'ed by one of its members. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU CANNOT WORK!

The general assertion ing this period. is made that a similar situation ex· ists in connection with homicides. The conclusion is then drawn that if the use of firearms was absolutely restricted deaths from homicides and suicide would be materially reduced. The same line of reasoning would apply to the use of automobiles which have a record of killing some 31,000 people in 1929 in this country. There are probably not as many automobiles as guns in the United States. It is interesting to recall that before guns were in common use the sword, the dagger, poison and numerous other agencies were responsible for some of the most horrible suicides and deaths in history. The campaign to do away with guns is just part of the program of restrictive legislation which has gradually been encroaching on the rights and liberties of American citizens. It is all proposed in an enticing manner to win sympathy on the theory that by penaliziug the law-abiding and normally minded citizen, the weak, the criminal and the misfits will thereby be saved without inconvenient or corrective measures being applied directly to them.-E.

Mitchell result in low overheads; the larger the A Negro, Cornelius Patterson, who died ·in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Home and oFreign Missionary society few weeks ago, il)spires this column tp digest the moral that his life, revealed after his eath, gives to the entire race. -0-- This man, little heard of during his life, and still less heard of at his death, now, a few weeks after, gives to the race an object lesson that far surpasses any sermon, lecture or treatise that could be prepared on the subject of thrift and economics. -0His attorney, Henry P. Cheatham, of Philadelphia, who was one ,of our congressmen from North Carolina, in the 51st and 52nd-Congress, and incidentally, who, yeilrs ago was an opponent of the present senator (Simmons) from North Carolina and lately met defeat in the primaries, discloses the fact in probating Patterson's will,, that Patterson left an estate of $30,- 000, nearly all of which was cash deposited in Camden, New Jersey, banks. -0-- In the financial worth of estates, thirty thousands, is not so impressive but in the estates of Negroes, thirty thousand net a~d in cash causes comment. Generally speaking, a Negro who is worth $30,000 dead is easily worth, or so reputed, ten times that amount, alive. No race can excell or even equal ours ir.. the art, if it can be so called, of "financial camoflage." Patterson was a merchant and his estate proves that he was a successful one, yet, he was practically unknown. While others were attending and giving banquets attesting their success, being lauded and publicized by the press, living in luxury and millionaire style with their retinue of servants, liveried cars, and all the attendant pomp and splurge that form the life and habits of the near-successful, this merchants was plodding on, daily applying the laws of economics, unheard and unsung. -0Those who have lived or frequented our large thickly populated districts of our large cities, Philadelphia and elsewhere, are familiar with the peculiar cry and call of the street peddlers and hucksters. They are merchants in every sense of th~word, buying and selling a commodity for which th~r is constant demand. --<>-- Their business is licensed and each cart carries a licensed number. Usually foreigners are the operators and invariably thrive off the business our people give them, buying a nickels worth of this and a dimes worth of that, in fact everything from fish to nuts and from ice to coal. Patterson, ri~h in death, but probably despised jn life, was a push-cart vendor. In selling for a nickel he made a penny and he made thousands of nickel sales while more dignified and pompous merchants were looking only for the d;;-llar. His turnover was constant. He didn't have to wait for the annual inyentory to determine whether he was making or losing money. He knew his cart of wares, cost probably four dollars and sold for five and he stayed on the job till his cart was empty. It didn't take much of an organization or overhead expense to determine that he was one dollar better off than when he started on his trip. The dollar he put in the number kept efficiently employed the greater the profits; keeping the capital intact; living within the income and profitably investing the profits. • A WELL KNOWN WRITER AND RACE LEADER , TAKES ISSUE WITH KITS ( Continued from • Pa&'e 1) to have allowed his personal sympathies to have overridden the opinions of men who without any personal reasons gave the verdict as they saw the right? We do believe that "Kits Reid" would acquiese in such proceeding. Governor Young is not the character to subordinate right to any political aspiration. If he were aspiring to the presidency of the United States, much less that of United States Senator-to which "Kits" attributes his stand on the Mooney case-his decisions would not be influenced thereby. This is not intended to be controversial, neither would it have been written, but the fact that the column of "Kits" is so widely read, and the comments carry the stamp of authenticity, it would be an injustice to the columist as well as the Chief Executive of a great state to have allowed this error to have gone uncorrected. The State of California is brining, at the expense of the State, one MacDonald, a self-confessed perjurer. He will testify openly before the Supreme Court and the Advisory Board of Pardon. Upan the sincerity of his testimony will rest ·the fate of Billings ancl Mooney. Governor Young has given the lie to those who would make political capital of the case by his attitude in not waiting until after the primary election to hear the evidence of MacDonald. Many were of the opinion that he would defer the hearing. His political enimies hoped so. Respectfully, W'. J. Wheaton Editors Note:-Mr. Wheaton is well known as an editorial writer. He is a regular contributor to The Los Angeles Eagle and other well-known race papers. He is prominent in business and fraternal circles and is looked upon as a leader in things political.
