Did we hear John Mitchell, Jr. :stage of Oakland activities at the
say something about the loud-
mouthed, crap-shooting Negro?
Yes, we have him here.
Some people have more money
than sense, but it would be a
grand thing if they would use
both to good advantage.
We are too well supplied with
churches in Oakland, and in
supporting them other activities
suffer, some of which are really
adjuncts. But in the confusion
of creeds we cannot brought to a
realization of these self-evident
facts.
"Consistency, thou art a
jewel!" According to the labor
statistics there are over 3,000,000
unemployed in the United States
to-day, trying to get work. But
according to the presg dispatches
there are over 1,000,000 trying to
nation-wide" railroad strike goes
into effect.
present time. To look at it from
a distance, it seems unwise to
turn over the appointment of al
officers to one man. Those in
favor of it claim that a reduction
of office-holders will mean lower
tax rate. It may be so. But we
have been hearing about this
lower tax rate for ten years, and
the tax rate keeps on increasing.
We taxpayers have been fooled
long enough, and the only way to
have us believe it is to reduce
the rate and stop talking about
it. We expect to have more to
say on this consolidation question
before election.
Sacramento, Oct. 14.—The re-
port of the State board of health
for 1920 shows that Sacramento
valley has the lowest death rate
in the State. According to the
report, the Sacramento valley
group of five counties has a death
rate of 9.31 per 1,000, while the
average for the State was 13.50.
San Francisco's rate was 14.2.
According to these figures Sacra-
mento is a good place to live.
What difference does it make
who gets credit for good service?
But it seems to make a lot of
difference to some people if they
cannot bask in the spotlight
when something worth while has
been done. If they would only
think, there is glory enough for
all in fighting the great battle of
human rights. Modesty as a
virtue seems to be lost .to some
of our would-be leaders. Turn
your guns on the common foe
and quit bickering about " who's
who."
The Ku Klux Klan is coming
in for all bad things that happen
these days. It is a case of a dog
with a bad name. It might be
well for our people to understand
that this organization makes no
secret of being opposed to our
race, but we should not allow
ourselves to be frightened when
certain people attempt to use
this bogey man to frighten us
out of our rights, and no doubt
the Echols case is one where the
neighbors are resorting to this
method.
According to press dispatches
this week, the Dyer anti-lyncliing
bill has been reported out of the
judiciary committee as favorable
One of the chief objections raised
against the bill was the question of
constitutionality. The testimony
of Judge Goff, assistant to the U.S
Attorney-General, disposed of this
objection. It is now up to Congress
and there is no doubt that you
have and will write and telegraph
your Congressman to vote for its
passage. This is the last chance.
People, for God's sake, do your
duty] It's now or never.
The Washington Tribune takes
the ground that the race has
spent $3,000,000 this summer on
annual meetings of various kinds
and that this annual meeting
business has become a menace to
the economic and social welfare
of the majority of these annual
meetings is election of officers.
Politics, graft, and chicanery are
rampant in many instances, and"
the persons or groups of persons
who can assemble and juggle the
voters the slickest get the offices.
He asks what return is the race
getting from this annual drain
on its purse that is in any way
commensurate with this enormous
outlay. Let us be practical. These
lodges will spend thousands of
dollars in sending delegates, yet
often fail to pay a poor member
$3 for a week's illness. "Take
the $3,000,000 spent this summer
on these annual affairs, and how
far would that amount go in
establishing a chain of stores, in
building homes, or in operating
factories?" This editorial needs
no comment. We regret that
we are unable to reproduce it as
a whole, as we are aware of the
grave tendencies of these meet-
ings, and believe they should be
curbed.
We are working to bring new free-
dom to tire world. W orking to bring
it with -pure hearts and high ideals.
Through these times of travail, the
times that have tried men's souls, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has
sounded fervently the call to America
to so clear her conscience that she
can maintain her stand as a democ-
racy with clean hands. In no spirit
of bigotry or egotism, but in meek-
ness and in fairness the N. A. A. C. P.
has gotten behind those issues that
work toward unfairness and detri-
ment to colored Americans and has
succeeded in bringing to bear such
pressure as prompted governmental
investigation into those existing con-
ditions disastrous to our people as
race rioting, mob violence and the
Ku Klux Klan.
Every far-seeing and intelligent
minister of the gospel today in Amer
ica, as well as every leader in every
other line of upright human endeavor,
is espousing the cause of the N. A. A.
C. P. They regard it as one of the
temporal adjuncts to our spiritual in-
stitution, the church created on that
afternoon in February, 1911, when
commemorating the 100th anniversary
of the birth of the illustrious Abraham
Lincoln, that the negro might enjoy
his full measure of right guaranteed
by the constitution.
Find one who is a member of this
race and has not his name registered
on the N. A. A. <C. P. roll.
OUR 1921 WORKERS IN THE
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.
Never before in the history of the
Association, both nationally and lo-
cally, have we had such ready, willing
workers. Much credit to former and
present officers who work to keep up
a spirit of energy. Our faithful co-
worker, Mr. T. M. Jackson, was ap-
pointed director of the drive. W e
mention first our captains whose
splendid efforts made possible the
excellent reports of our majors
which will follow.
First and foremost are our two
zealous workers whose effort, of
1920 and 1921 place them as front line
workers in support of a great cause,
Air. and Mrs. L. J. Kerr, reporting in
favor of Major Mrs. H. B. Tilghman
$62.00. Then Mr. R. L. Williams
(quietly stolen from tlje secretary by
the president), the secretary mention-
ing her impression of this worker's
race interest, wjiereupon he was sup-
plied with books before the secretary
could reach him. Mr. Williams re-
porting in favor of Attorney Drake,
major. $42.25. Mr. Joseph L. Cros-
sen, $32, three gold certificates in
favor of Major F. II. Burrill. Mr.
T. Allen reporting two filled books

The railroad strike set for Oct.
30th seems to loom up as the one
big feature in coming events.
Railroad companies seem to have
put it up squarely to the men
and. now not only a 12 per cent,
cut faces them, but this is plus
another 10, making a total of 22c
To the fellow in the distance, it
would seem poor policy to strike
when so many are unemployed
and winter is coming on, and the
government is more determined
than ever to assist the un-
employed, keep the crops moving
and assist railroads financially.
Of course, the strike is bound to
affect us as a race, and more so
since porters, car-cleaners, and
waiters have become affiliated
with unions. There is to be one
big final meeting of the unions in
Chicago the latter part of this
month and it is to the interest of
every branch to be represented.
We wonder if branches to which
members of our race belong will
be represented by some white
man or some colored man who
does not know the needs, of this
division. Why not send Mr.
Irvine, who is employed at the
Santa Fe, to represent the car-
cleaners' union? He seems to be
a level-headed, sensible man. Of
course, there will be a little ex-
pense attached to it, but in the
end it will be more satisfactory
even if you lose.

and again in 1920 reported indepen-
dently $27.50, as also Mrs. Alice But-
