Manhattan Beaches

The Los Angeles Securities company,
represented by w. H. Carlson, the gem
eral manager, has paid Burbank d
Baker $460, 900 for 407 lots at Hermosa
Beach, twenty-five and one-fourth

1t is the purpose of the Securities

adding new features in the way of
strand pier and still water improve
ments. 1t is expected that railway
connections will be made with Her

speedy car service.
General Manager Carlson believes
that Redondo will become a city of
10000 population within three years,

fession is invariably brought to bear

too much of it. This sweating pro-
cess which is resorted to by the police

JUDGE STAFFORD

The expression made use of by

preme Court, a few days ago, rela-
tive to ordinary prisoners and GRIM
inals, was timely and proper. II
there ever was a disgrace to the ju-
dietary of this city it will be found
in the upper and lower branches Of
the Police Court. There are two
cages, in which prisoners are con-
fined. 1t makes no difference what
their offense may be, they must be
confined with the hardened criminal
of the murderous class. If a person
Is arrested for the violation of the
police regulations or any other petty
offense, he must remain with the
outlaws. These daily sights in the
Police Court must please the person
who ordered these cages. If the dis
tinguished jurist of the Supreme
Court would only make a visit to the
Police Court he would at once be-
ome disgusted and proceed to have

HAS ENOUGH.
BRO. CHASE NOT CHANGED.

AJ4NO- AAl-AJl- nv A11Ll4NO1-Ls
From the Chicago Conservator.
In his able editorial in which he
sought to reply to the Conservatory
structures on his new association with
the apostle of the doctrine of surrender,
Bro. w Calvin Chase, able editor OF
the Washington Bee, contends that
Booker T. Washington and not Brother
Chase has changed from the old to the
new.
He claims that while he stood for the
race and opposed Washington's submis-
sion doctrine with his great newspaper,
Washington saw the error of his way
and turned and joined Chase and other
loyal Negroes in their contention for
the manhood rights of the Negro citi-
zens and soldiers, and that now Wash
ington is a full-fedged all-around race
man.
If this Is true, as Brother Chase indi-
Gates, then why waste any more time
discussing him adversely or the danger
of his doctrine.
If Brother Chase, the Conservator and
other loyal race instruments have al
last converted DR.. Washington to the
side Of general rights for his people, we
have nothing more to quarrel about.
But since Washington has been Sc
long engaged as a preacher of submis-
sion and since Brother Chase alone
seems to be in the secret of his sudden
conversion TO the proper thing, we think
Brother Chase should not ask or expect
the people to accept his mere naked
word as to Mr.. Washington's change
We have seen nothing outside of Bro
Chase's statement that indicates Mr.
Washington's change and would like
Bro. Chase to point out something Mr.
Washington has recently done by which
he so suddenly converted Bro Chase tC
the thought that Washington IS now
with his race in its contention. Has he
taken any interest at all in the discharg-
ed soldiers? Has he yet joined his race
in grieving and suffering mentally from
the terrible thrust at it by the President
in his message? Has he confessed that
he made q mistake against his race when
he advised, as is publicly alleged, the
President to prescribe a certain kind Of
education for Negro children in his mes
sage? Let Washington bring forth fruits
mete for repentance and We will believe
It.

THE RACE QUESTION.
From TO-MCrrOw.

"To-Morrow," no prophet nor the
son of a prophet, and being without
party or creed, necessarily takes what
might be considered a neutral ground
in relation to the race problem and sun
dry other momentous questions. and
having no quarrel with God, Provi-
dence, the Eternal Rhythm of Things,
or whatever the network Of forces by
which we are surrounded may be called,
we therefore go on record as being quite
satisfied and content with everything
that happens, and all things being for
the best, what IS here chronicled must
be considered by readers as a narrative
of no particular value.
The situation is about this in the
United States, viz. 100000 ignorant
white people who do not average three
pei. cent of what should constitute hu-
man intelligence. most of whom are in
clined to believe that the civilization we
have reached is the sine qua non, the
end the limit of perfection, notwith-
standing the fact that we spend every
wear for liquor, tobacco and trash ten
times as much as in the entire cause of
education. with 10000 of our people
languishing in jails. ten per cent of our
population owning ninety per cent of all
the property in the country, 100000
of our population facing poverty and
want each day, and in Chicago alone
10000 prostitutes plying their trade, "a
600 deserted wives earning their own
living. and an average Of 100000 adul-
terers week and 10000 abortions a
year.
The country also contains approxi-
matelv 100000 Negroes Of more or
less African descent whose ancestors
were brought from the Dark Continent
without their consent in slave ships,
and placed in our American homes; a
plan which would have been one of the
greatest missionary enterprises the world
has ever known, providing the intelli-
gence. fairness and democracy of those
homes were fit places in which to rear

There is a great deal of criticism
against DR.. Chancellor concerning

claimed that he is the author.
Would it not be wise for the public
to withhold any criticism against
DR.. Chancellor and be thoroughly
convinced and satisfied that he is
the author of the article. Dr. Chan

and criticised because he has en-
deavored to do his duty as he sees
it. Let his accusers be convinced
