CHANT DLER OWENS
The California Eagles
New Moses
What Home Folks
Say About Him
A PROPHET IN THE WEST

Glaring black headlines in the "Cal-
ifornia Eagle, published at Los An
geles, brought to the attention of its
readers the news that chandler Ow-
en- Storms the Pacific Coast. Crowds
Jam Los Angeles Sunday Forum to
Hear Editor of the Messenger" And
then lest the readers might not appre-
ciate the importance of his announce
ment, in another column under the
caption "Who Is Chandler Owen? ap-
peared the following:
"Greatest Negro Leader, who leads
Caucasians as well, since the histori-
cal and only Frederick Douglass Can
be fittingly compared to Bebel of Ger
many, Juares of France and Debs of
America. Is more scientific than Debs.
Most gigantic brains of most titanic
man. Unrivalled as a speaker, un-
beaten as a writer, unequalled as a
leader. Only his partner, A. Philip
Randolph, of the Messenger" his
class. A surprise, revelation and a
stimulant for the Negroes of Los An
geles. Most other leaders mere tyros
compared to him"
This is rather hard on such quasi
leaders as Marcus Garvey, ]. Finley
Wilson and Rosco Conkling Simmons
but perhaps the eagle" is not ia
miliar with the latest leadership dope
or was overwhelmed by the superla-
tives of Mr.. Ovens press agent. AT
all events, the people of Harlem will
regret to hear that they once enter
tanned greatness of such stupendous
measure unawares.
During the period that Mr.. Owen
figured as one of the editors of the
Messenger, which seems to have
subsided as a going publication, he at
tracted some attention as a clever ex-
ponent of Socialistic propaganda
though inclined to relapse from logi-
cal argument into personal criticism
to enforce his point. He cannot be &C.
cused of any constructive accomplish
ment in politics or in business. As
long as the funds were provided he
did his best to divert votes from Re
publicans and incidentally to aid in the
election of Democrats.
AS the report stated that at the
close of the different meetings in Los
Angeles several subscriptions were
taken to the Messenger, we are lee
to infer that Mr.. Owen is not travel
ing for his health. All of which goe!
to show that the scriptural adage still
holds good that "a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country
The soap-box brand of socialistic ora
tory which failed to arouse much en-
thusiasm in Harlem, probably pos
sesses greater novelty for those who
go to hear Mr.. Owen in California.
AS Stinulant for the Negroes o.
Los Angeles, Mr.. Owen may not dt
any great harm, but he should not be
taken too seriously, nor as a steady
diet for workers and thinkers.-"N. Y

POLITICAL POT-POURRI

The fur has begun to fly in the
coming campaign. Gov. Stephens
comes out in letter flaying the last
Legislature for failure to reapportion
the State, calling his detractors
knaves and other harsh names, and
Assemblyman White comes back in
stinging answer, so the war is on.
To add to the excitement, Theodore
Bell quits the Bourbons and joins
the @. Q. P, giving as his reason
the attitude of the Democratic party
on the treaty.
Congressman Kahn is opposed to
the bonus and possibly will have to
face opposition in his district this
fall but the man who goes up
against Julius will have fight on
his hands.
Our group in Charles Curry's
district will no doubt ask him to
explain his vote on the anti-lynchlng
bill.
Will somebody explain why an
unknown Negro should be support
ed for office because he is a Negro
without an inquiry being made into
his anteCedentS and fitness for the
position to which he aspires ? We
have much to say about the new
Negro, but when you seek to apply
the rule of fitness to him, as you
would to any other man, you are
knocking" If a man is unworthy
be he white or black, he should be
opposed, and we refuse to take pro-
gramme from self-appointed leaders.
A. D. Benston, civil war veteran
and retired mint employe, was seen
at his home the other day. The old
fire flashed from his eyes, recalling
the old days when he did politics.
Those were the days before the
Progressives revolutionized things
with the primary, and millennium
in things political was promised.
Volstead is blessed by many who
have risen from poverty to affluence
but vets" will make a determined
effort to control the next legislature
and the Wright act will be an issue.
Will Hiram Johnson be opposed
for Senator ? There is no doubt
that Johnson'S obstructive methods
have not added to his popularity.
The 'knave' says in the Tribune
that Phelan will run as wet for
Governor, and not as a Democrat,
which fact will be soft-pedalled. "
Also that Mavor Rolph has definitely
abandoned gubernatorial aspirations
and will be a candidate to succeed
himself next year.

Grand Master Wilson issued a
circular last Christmas to the
craft, which was more than mere
Yule-tide expression, for in that
communication he called attention
to the fact that the oldest organ

The Detroit association of colored
Women'S clubs, with a membership
OF ooo, entered a protest against the
segregation OF women prisoners in
jail, as was suggested by Mrs RUBY
Zahn, president Of the Progressive
Civic League (white) in her speech
on Feb. IA. While they appreciate
the splendid work of the civic league
they deplore that part of the resolu-

What fools these mortals be-
was never better exemplified to
our mind than in Nashville,
Tenn, when "Gipsy" Smith, the
evangelist, was holding services
and a revival there a short time
ago. Colored people who had a
soul to save were admitted to the
meetings if they would enter by
a rear door and be segregated
inside. The colored ministers of
Nashville entered protest, and
won out by preventing the colored
race from attending at all. The
Gipsy Smith people then decided
to admit them through the door.
They went in large numbers and
the colored race subscribed over
$500, SO we read. Say, that was
some religion they were preach
ing. That was some money to
put in where they were not
wanted, and no doubt could have
been used in their own church
and they were some fools.
