MORE ABOUT THE HOUSTON RIOT ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 SUMMARY OF MANAGING EDITOR OF CALIFORNIA EAGLE'S THREE MONTHS SOJOURN IN THE EAST. LANDING AT HOUSTON We reached Houston, Tex., on the morning of Sept. 13th, almost famished, since passengers on all trains passing through Jim Crow states are denied dining car service, hence our first aid was that we self preservation and thwarted into the Crow cafe connected with the Railroad company where we were accorded excellent service by a member of the Race, who in answer to our inquiry informed us that he was running the cafe for the company for the accommodation of the Colored people. So anxious were we to start upon the mission that actuated our going to Houston that we started our inquiry into affairs concerning the Race at that city, by asking the Colored lad in waiting at the table, what was the present condition of affairs? After looking carefully to the right and to the left, this lad ventured to answer that things were in a fearful condition; that only the night before there had been a near riot between the Races. This, as we then thought first hand information, caused us to be a bit fearful; but did not wave our determination to investigate the Houston riot since we had promised many of our friends that with God's help we would, if possible, get the actual facts in the case. Hence, after we had been amply refreshed, we checked our baggage, not knowing just where we were going, and started out in search of the Colored business section. We had walked but a few blocks in a burning sun, stopping only to ask the first Colored gentlemen we met if we were going in the right direction, when we noticed that we were in front of the U. B. F. Building, the object of our search. We mounted the stairs, and entered first the office of the Houston Observer; a neatly furnished and splendidly equipped printing office. We noticed that three men were at work in this sactum, which was presided over by C. F. Richardson, managing editor, all of whom impressed us as being thoroughly capable and splendid representatives of the Race. We were especially impressed with Mr. Richardson, as being a sober minded, energetic young man, who is weilding wholesome influence far better racial conditions at Houston, and OObserver, we believe under Mr. Richardson efforts will not be in vain. From the Observer's office we next visited the office of the Western Star and found Mr. S. B. Williams presiding. We readily explained to Mr. Williams the object of our visit to his city and very graciously accepted his guidance over the Colored business district. After showing us through the U. B. F. Building, a massive structure in the commercial heart of the city, with three or four large store rooms on the ground floor and ten or twelve large offices, including Physicians, Dentists, Lawyers, Insurance Companies, Real Estate and Printings Offices. Mr. Williams then guided us just around the corner on Prarie Ave. into the Tabor Building, a similar proposition, where we found neatly furnished offices occupied by Race men and women, representing various professional walks, and doing business on a highly creditable scale. We noticed the gathering of about 50 women who came out on their regular meeting day of the S. M. T. in their lodge rooms in their own hall. We met these ladies and availed ourselves of the opportunity of exchanging ideas. We were pleased to notice that they were highly cultured and keenly awake to the position occupied by our people in the United States today, and especially concerned about the prevailing atmosphere of their home town since the Houston hot. After we had watched these ladies assemble, our guide, the genial Mr. Williams, then conducted us up to the Lincoln Theater on the upper end of the same street. The Lincoln Theater at Houston, Tex., is every bit as nicely equipped as the Lincoln at New York, in fact we think the Houston Lincoln is more artistic and refined in decoration than is the prided Lafayette at New York. Mr. O. P. De Walt, manager of the Lincoln added his name to our subscription list and took great pride in showing us in detail the theater in its entirety, darkening the building and turning on the lights in order that we might get the actual effect of things in working order. As we listened to this young man's explanation of his proposition and noticed the successful manner in which he was conducting the affairs of this business, we could but discern in Mr. De Walt a personality that denied obstruction and hailed success with delight. From the Lincoln we next visited L. Andrews, the grocer at 408 Miami St., we did not need anyone to call us that Mr. Andrews' business was second to any in the city of Houston, having been established for 6 years. We stood in the store about ten minutes, long enough to observe that half, at least, of Mr. An- The California Eagle drews' trade was white and that his partner and right hand man was his son, a splendid specimen of manhood and a thoroughly capable business man. We wound up our business crusade at the Southern Pacific office, the road over which we were traveling and was informed by the agent there that we could only leave Houston on certain tails viz: those carrying Jim Crow compartments. Our good friend and guide, Mr. Williams, who is not only a newspaper man, but also one of the public school teachers, finding that his time had about expired, turned us over to Mrs. Vance Lewis, the splendid wife of Lawyer Lewis, who recently visited Los Angeles, and we immediately started our search for actual facts in the Houston riot. THE HOUSTON RIOT We had not gone very far in our research before we found that the information given out by the waiter lad at the station. Where we had landed the morning of the day, was the result of a bogus article that appeared the evening before in a little yellow journal known as the "Houset Press" which carried with big scare crow head lines stating that "Negroes in Riot Plot," had been seen by boy who heard plans. The article went on the state that "a Press officer and Negro soldiers and civilians planning an attack on Houston policemen and street car men Monday evening, and had told his straightforward story to the Press Tuesday, after that three of the Negro civilians, when he delivered his papers in the San Felipe district, Tuesday, three of whom were lined up at a Negro saloon imbibing "courage." Same newsboy, the "Press" stated, was willing to go with the officers and locate said Negroes, but police officers failed to place credence in the story, which caused this same trouble breeder, the "Press," it seemed, to remind those in authority that they had also failed to place credence in reports of threatened troubles that reached them several hours before the outbreak of the bloody riot on the night of August 23rd. So strong was the desire of this Houston "Press" to pull off an East St. Louis Massacre at Houstone, that in this manner it pledged for its newsboy's virtue and integrity and truthfulness: "Here's Something About Boy Who Heard Plot Plans From the Press Casimere. Dellajigethy, the Press carrier, who overheard the riot plans of Negro soldiers and civilians beneath the Sabine St. bridge. Monday afternoon, has been a member of the Boy Scouts more than two years. He is secretary-treasurer of Troop 15. He wears two service stripes on one sleeve and a first class scribe shreveon on the other. We was formerly a patrol scout leader. He is a member of the Methodist church and Sunday School and holds a five-year Sunday School medal. During the past six years he has been absent from his Sunday School class but three times. This is the kind of a boy whose word is being questioned and whose report of Negro riot plots is being ignored by civil and military authorities. While the Press is stirring up antiphy between the Races, The Houston Daily Post, a paper saner, by far, and cleaner in every way than the "Press" answers the appeal of the Press in what might be considered from all angles fair for a paper so situated: "Stop the Trouble Rumors." Houston Post "The public statement of General Bell and Mayor Hutcheson ought to put an end to the swarm of rumors which have been larming the public of late as well as to afford a feeling of security to all the people of the city. "General Bell's assurance that armed Negro soldiers are not going to be permitted to leave the camp can be confidently accepted, for the reason that he has taken every precaution to see that they do not and because he has ample force to prevent it. "With all danger removed from that source, the people of Houston ought to proceed with their ordinary affairs. If trouble occurs, it will be more likely trouble of Houston's own making, and surely Houston people who have shown such fine self-control under extreme provocation ought to be able to continue it under conditions of security. "It is true that the affair of August 23 has left some unfortunate friction of a racial character that the wiser people of both races ought to compose without delay. It is the existence of these conditions that causes so many people to fear trouble, and to predict it. "There is a class of Negroes as well as a class of whites that are to blame. There are in Houston as elsewhere, white men who have a deep-seated animosity for all Negroes, and there are Negroes who have an equally bitter feeling toward the whites. These must not be permitted to embroil the races, and Mayor Hutcheson (Continued on page 8.) San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 29, 1917 ON 22 MR. THOMAS A. COLE JORDAN-COLE WEDDING Notable among the events of this season was the union Wednesday evening of Miss Lorenza Jordan and Thomas A. Cole. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Logan Craw at the First A. M. E. Church. The wedding was announced for 8:30 but as early as 7 o'clock the great church with a seating capacity of 1.000 was packed to its utmost capacity. The bridal altar was the most beautifully arranged that society folk of Los Angeles have ever before been privileged to witness. Mr. J. Caulsherry, the Central Ave. Electrician assisted by E. M. Hubbs, noted decorator, was in charge of the decoration which consisted of a beautifully arranged Grecian Rose garden at the entrance of which towered, on either side two ancient cocoon rose stall holders carrying great pink balls of soft lights sheading slanting rays down the center ise through which the bride was to come, while directly over the altar dipped a great horse-shoe brilliantly garnished and inlaid with twenty-four budlike incandescent lights and on either side of the great horseshoe two hearts, lighted after the same fashion were joined by delicate pink bands of ribbon. The great audience sat spell-bound enchanted, as it were, by the beautiful effect, awaiting the coming of the bride. At 8:30 the great organ over which Ehmar C. Bartlett presided, hid behind a cluster of six beautiful flower pots, which formed a background for the other brilliant decorations; pealed softly forth, and Mrs. Sidney P. Dones in soft pink gown, a picture of Mona stole from behind the green branches and with her violin enchanted the great audience anew, and then came Miss Maudetta Rosemond, who in rich mellow tones sang "The Bridal Song," and as the organ played on the bridesmaids came in regular order draped in beautifully designed creations carrying out again in color scheme the old rose and nile green the idea of the rose garden. The maids and groomss were: Misses Vernal Moore, Commie Johnson, Alma Criesuf, Irene Givens, Leila McKinney, Melba Boswell. Groomss, Clarence Curly, Payne Middleton, Lawrence Green, Leon Folk, Jno. Gray, John Polock. Maid of Honor, Miss Inez Jones; Page of Honor, Mrs. Daniel Polock. Best man Wm, Cole, brother to the groom. Flower girls, little Sidney Dones and Catherine Hall. Ring bearer, Master S. McAllister, Cupid, Master Wm. Beverly. So beautifully they came tripping down the isle that it seemed that the whole church was transformed into a rose garden and the beautiful maids, and handsome man represented butterflies and roses. Especially charming were the little folk of the bridal party. As by magic each one took his and her place in the garden, and then again the great organ pealed forth in quiet but impressive tones "Here Comes the Bride." Necks were strained and eyes went wide—and tripping down the isle came the bride attired in a gown of dazzling white satin fashioned after a Turkish Hem Paniel Frock, hand embroidered in roses, draped in real silver lace and tulle with a tullie and real lace veil caught with orange blossoms. As the bride approached the altar Cupid took his deadly aim and the work was done. The bride was given away by her father, and after the ceremony and the placing of the ring the happy couple faced the audience while Mr. Thomas Johnson sang "I Promise You." The bride, Miss Larenza Jordan, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Jordan of Gladys Ave., and one of the cities favorite musicians. She will be greatly missed in the music and social ranks of the city. Mr. Cole, a native of Elberton, Ga., and a Biddle University graduate came to Los Angeles in 1914 and worked for a time for the California Eagle; but later into the railroad service and at this time holds an excellent position under the vice president of the Northern Pacific R.

Douglas Greer) Those who were present in the old historic A. M. E. church, corner 8th and Towne streets Wednesday evening, September 19th witnessed a scene unparalleled in the history of Los Angeles. The citizens of Los Angeles planned a reception for Mrs. C. Spear-Boss, managing editor of the California Eagle, whose indefatigable efforts to raise the standard of negro citizenship and character in this community were attested to by the timely addresses of the principal speakers of the occasion. Mr. Millan Lewis, president of the occasion prior to introducing the program of the evening, spoke in commendable terms of the far-reaching influence that has been and is now being exerted in Los Angeles by Mrs. Boss in the newspaper that she represents. After a three month's visit to eastern and southern points Mrs. Boss returns to California highly magnetized with interest, facts and figures concerning the progress and development of the Negro in all sections of the country. While the trip was not primarily in order to gather data appertaining to the race, Mrs. Boss has ingeniously combined pleasure and business in such a harmonious and student-like way as to afford interest and instruction to those who listen to her argument on that occasion. In clear forceful language Mrs. Boss related the stor of her experience in and around some of our big cities, tell- ing of their rapid strides toward economic independence. While man students of race conditions in America apportion praise and condemnation indiscriminality with little or no regard for the particular or individual circumstances surrounding the condition nor any regard for the problem as it effects certain classes in certain localities, one could not help but appreciate the precise and authentic reports brought back by Mrs. Boss, who excuses nothing on the ground of being afraid to condemn it. Mrs. Boss praises those sections in which she found Negroes working within their resources for the betterment of race condition as they peculiarly affect the Negro, and those who are lending themselves and their forces for the amelioration of social and economic condition as they concern all classes of people. Mrs. Boss was strong in her denunciation of the lazy, shiftless, indolent people who infest the principal streets and thoroughfares of some of our principal cities throughout the east and south. At the conclusion of the address by Mrs. Boss, Mrs. Clara Halbert who had been selected by the citizens committee, presented a solid gold wrist watch to Mrs. Boss, a gift from the citizens of Los Angeles, and bearing an inscription to that effect. Mrs. Boss responded to the presentation, accepting and expressing her appreciation for the demonstration of esteem by the citizens of Los Angeles and further pledged herself to sustain the honor and integrity of those who had come to so honor her. Atty. Hugh E. Machett, who introduced Mrs. C. Spear-Boss, ably commended the work done by Mrs. Boss and advised all race lovers to support the enterprise of which Mrs. Boss is a leading exponent. Mrs. E. C. Buckner, whose contributions to literature are assuming unusual proportions, read an original poem, delineating the mission of wo- SS OF 1917 FROM BIGGERS' COLLEGE The graduates are: Mrs. Marie Jeter, Jefferson Ammons, Miss Charlotte the center, Prof. Chas.

Miss Velma Wood delighted the audience with the rendition of an exquisitely played piano solo. Miss Woods is developing an unblemished technique, and with age and experience should round out a wonderful ability as a piano-forbe soloist. Dr. U. H. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, spoke in brief of the double enjoyment; by way of illustrating how glad we were when Mrs. Boss first caem among us and now that she has returned we are doubly glad. The vocal solo sang by Miss Beatrice Young was very pleasantly received and had it not been so late she would undoubtedly have been called upon for an encore. The combined choirs, consisting of the Second Baptist and 8th and Towne under the direction of Prof. Bartlett, rendered some charming selections. The citizens committee presided over by Mr. W. E. Easton, has accomplished a work that deserves the honorable mention of all the citizens of Los Angeles and wih high will be long remembered. PROGRAM RECEPTION COMPLIMENTARY TO MRS. C. A.

Oration by Miss Florence Z Robinson There are many connections to this subject, but we shall deal only with those that strike us as school girls. We cannot even mention all the lessons that we have experienced, for it would indeed fill a book; but after all, experience is the dearest teacher, and as it is often said, "Bought sense is best." therefore it behooves us to pay for what we get, however great or small, it will serve our best interest in the future even though the price be in hard labor. If we desire a special thing or achievement in life, we must work in that direction and pay honestly for what we get. In leaning forward, we find many things to attract our attention elsewhere, and the young colored girl finds many discouragements and disadvantages; or example when beginning our courses at the Biggers Business College, so many discouraging words were spoken to us; and considering that the negro is so ungrateful to his leaders serves as circumstantial evidence that he is standing in his own light. He should boost his brothers' business and make himself useful in every way in fos- (Continued on page 8) What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian St. Rev. A. P.

While in the city the Bishop was the guest of Mrs. A. E. Kinney on East, Fifteenth street, Mrs. Harris of San Diego and her mother, Mrs. French, were also guests of Mrs. Kinney during the conference.

The Bishop and conference were the guests of Mrs. A. E. Kinney at a farewell breakfast on Friday morning. A most delightful time was enjoyed.

As a testimonial of esteem and regard for the signal service rendered this community by the Rev. J.

The public is invited and a splendid program will be rendered. Refreshments will be served. The committee extends a cordial invitation to the citizens of Los Angeles to attend. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Sts. Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor Rev. S. E. Edwards, of Fresno, Cal. is acting as pastor during the pastors absence at conference which convenes at San Francisco under Bishop L. W. Kyles. A nice crowd was out and enjoyed an old time gospel sermon, of how God has been so magnificent monshed to be not unmindful of their christian duties. He told those in the church to cease clinging to some old sin after coming into the house of God—such as gambling, drinking, lieing and other forms of wickedness. Next Sunday at 11 a. m. he will preach on, "The Church Under the New Dispensation. Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. Classes for grown-ups. All are welcome. Strangers invited. Seats free. Two large congregations greeted the pastor at both services Sunday, and we rejoice to say that the church is moving on. In the evening the pastor preached with his matchless eloquence, on "Daniel in the Lions' Den," and all present were wonderfully blessed. Much enthusiasm is being shown in the Young Women's Missionary Society. A hearty welcome to all. BETHEL Church of Christ (Holiness). 1546 Palmoyra Street. REV. W. A. WASHINGTON, Pastor. The services at the church were full of inspiration and power last Sunday. The pastor preached two convincing selections to two very attentive congregations. Five accessions to the church. Next Sunday the pastor will preach morning, and evening. At 3 p.m. there will be baptizing. Come and worship with us and we will do you good. Miss Lynch Writes From The Prairie State. Editor of The California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Friend; Mr. Bass: Again I attempt to write you from my home here in the Prairie State. It is not about my trip home, this time, but about some of the race churches. I shall not take time to write fully of each of them just now, but hope to say more about each in the future. We have five nice - sized Negro churches which are as follows: The McCabe Methodist Church, Rev. Mackey, pastor; Second Christian Church, Bro. Brayboy; the Second Baptist, Rev. H. H. Dewitt; Bethel A. M. E. Rev. Fisher, and Mt. Emory Baptist, Dr. E. L. Scruggs. The last two mentioned have a spacious edifice with apartments for the kitchen, dining rooms, rest rooms, and separate Sunday-school rooms, all modern and convenient. Each of the pastors mentioned have been here from one to five years, Rev. Dewitt having pastored Mt. Emory sixteen years at one time. For the last three years Dr. Scruggs has pastored Mt. Emory. He came here from Monmoreta, Ill., where he was a pastor for many years. He was also the first president of Western College, the school from which I graduated, and for sixteen years he held that office Since being in this city he has helped to organize within his church a Brotherhood, it consisting of some very strong Christian men — men with intellect, business ability, money and influence—the kind of men of whom any race should be proud. The object of the brotherhood is not so much to raise money, but more to get better acquainted with each other; to know each man as he is, and yet love and respect him. When any member of this body of men becomes sick or hard pressed, he has only to let the Brotherhood kuow of it. and that is sufficient. This organization also has a special interest in the young, as it aims to place before them some of the best artists our race affords. The last two years it has had four large concerts a year, and has had such well known artists as Madam Hackley Mr. Douglas, Mr. Bodine, the Williams Jubilee Singers, etc. Mr. C. W. Tinsley is chairman of the program committee, and it is through him that many of the artists have appeared. They are now planning a series of programs, by different well known leaders and musicians, which will run in a circuit, taking in many cities, from Decatur, Ill., and Jefferson City, Mo. Messrs. Tinsley and Bodine have charge of this. Before another year they hope to have this circuit reach to the Coast. The different artists already booked for this winter are Mrs. Hewitt Smith of Chicago and Mr. Bodine of Mexico, Mo., who will appear together; Mrs. M. B. Anderson of Chicago, Miss Dixon, elocutionist, of (Chicago; Harry H. Burley of New York, the William Jubilee Singers and Dr. W. T. Vernon. We feel, as does the Brotherhood, that when the public sees and hears such noted men and women as these, they will have a greater enthhsiasm and aspiration to do something to help build and uplift the race rather than degrade it. We are proud to know that such a spirit exists here. I think I can speak truthfully when I say that this is one of the strongest—or strongest—brotherhoods to be found anywhere.

The great bazaar and fall festival given by the 2d Baptist Church, was the occasion of the week's jubilee. It was one of the biggest things ever attempted by the people of Riverside; but, to say the least, it was a success. The festival ran for four nights—each night a program was rendered to the delight of all present. There were five booths beautifully decorated in keeping with the occasion. A reward was offered for the most beautifully decorated booth and the booth reporting the most money raised. The refreshment booth, of which Miss May Wiley was chairman, won the prize for the most beautifully decorated booth; and the dry goods booth, of which Mrs. Geo. Gordon was chairman, won the prize for the most money reported. San Bernardino talent furnished the program on Wednesday night. It was a splendid presentation. On Friday night a young ladies' drill team from San B-rnardino presented a very fine floral drill. Rev. G. W Reed, pastor of the church, was the promoter of the affair. His genius for getting up and promoting big affairs was well demonstrated by the success of the great festival. Sunday was rally day, and a goodly sum was realized. Rev.

This week they had the colored porter killed by the Montana soldiers and later he was up and walking around, and now what are we to really believe? And the southern fire-eaters want the accused members of the 24th Infantry turned over to the tender mercies of the Houston courts, the Texas justice, so they might receive justice in all its fullness as measured by Texans.

He stated further after particular reference to the California Eagle, that he did not know just why this paper failed to meet this particular issue, but that of all others it was confident expected that we should be on the job every minute and make this light for the race. Now in answer to this gentleman we admit every word which he uttered is true and that the public press is our hope, our stay, our refuge, and with such copperhead sheets as the Record, we should ever be in a position to hurl these attacks back into their teeth. We seek no alibi, but we are frank to admit that without a united and strong support from our very own people we are at all times handicapped. We are even at times busy in our efforts to make ends meet that we have not the time to peruse all of the daily papers. Such was the case in this instance, the first we heard of the article complained of when read at the Forum. But when our people shall give their press just one-half the support they deserve, then will that press be in a position to take up these propositions and give to them the time and consideration they deserve. So Mr. Scott's query is timely and if he will follow it up and urge upon the people the same support for their very own press as he gives, this feature will soon find a remedy.

Oft we hear the mooted question— "Now, what is a woman's sphere? What should be her work, her calling? And some answers are so queer. Very much like—well, you've heard it To a certain people said: "Just to this, or that, you're suited; Be not by your impulse led." Just as though an aspiration Could be crushed, or hope be killed When the atmosphere so generous Is with inspiration filled! We believe a woman's calling Is whate'er she choose to do, Just so long as it is noble, And to self she can be true. Aspirations are so varied, And the field so very wide, When a woman's fitted for it, Why, then, should she be denied? She is forging into channels Where one time, she dare not tread Yes, the Negro woman also By the same impulse is led. And we need her—let us cheer her— If we nothing else can do— Put no obstacles before her; Ways are hard enough to hew! Yes, we need courageous women Who will ever dare and do— Acting well the part they've chosen— Ah, dear one, we've need of you. Give a message to your people— Give it out unto the world! May it help to make it better, As to all the truth is hurled. THE SOLDIER'S CREED Many of our soldier boys go seriously about this business of war. They know what it may mean to them.

Arrangement Committee LETT, Master of Ceremonies ced up by the rules and regulations of the military. They know they must not lose themselves in the mass of soldiers. They must answer to their God not in any official or professional capacity, but as individuals. He must have initiative, hence he must cherish his faith and follow what he believes. Recently we found a noble creed written by a lamented soldier of the civil war. Its frankness and high idealism will comfort all father's and mother's hearts who have a soldier boy and for whom they pray daily, he may not lose his Christian faith under the temptations of military life. Read it to your young men and to those who have not enlisted. It will do them good. During the civil war a dashing young American soldier from a subordinate rank quickly rose to the command of his regiment, the First Ohio cavalry. While at the head of his men, leading a desperate charge in the battle of Stone River, he was killed. That was on December 31, 1862, and Col Milliken was only twenty-eight years old when he fell. Among his papers was found a document which he had entitled "The Soldiers Creed," and here are some extracts therefrom: have enlisted in the service of my country for the term of three years, and have sworn faithfully to discharge my duty, uphold the Constitution, and obey the officers over me. "Let me see what motives I must have had when I did this things. It was not pleasant to leave my friends and my home, and, relinquishing my liberty and pleasures, bind myself to hardships and obedience for three years by a solemn oath. Why did I do it? "I did it because I loved my country.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Landing at Houston and Sheriff Hammond may be depended upon to watch such symptoms as these two classes develop. "And don't forget the possibility of German agents fomenting racial trouble. "Negro servants ought to have sense enough to refrain from insolent or impudent speech toward their employers or to white people. That is now a common complaint. Irresponsible Negroes generally of the idle class, must stop the incendiary talk which they indulge in so frequently, because they are not going to be permitted to keep the community in ferment. "Lawabiding Negroes must understand that the Patriotic League organized by white men is as much for their protection as it is for anybody else. Its sole mission is to preserve peace and order and to restrain unruly spirits of both races. "The white people of Houston want Negro citizens to be secure in their persons, homes and employment. Those who are left the city for fear of an attack upon them ought to return to their homes and employments in full confidence that they are going to be protected. "There is going to be no race outbreak, and the good relations between the races that existed prior to August 23 are to continue and they will be restored just as soon as the irresponsible tongues of both races cease their wagging." Up to date we have recorded events as they actually happened during our stay at Houston. On the evening of Sept. 13, at the home of Mrs. Lewis, who by the way is one of the largest property owners at Houston, we met some of Houston's substantial citizens, among whom was Mrs. S. B. Williams, wife of Mr. Williams, who had guided us over the business section of the city. We learned from Mrs. Williams that their two sons were students at Pomona College. We also met Mrs. Anna McGruder, formerly of Lbs Angeles, who lives in Chicago, but, who was visiting a very sick brother at Houston. Mrs. Lewis lives in the immediate neighborhood of the August 23rd riot, and hence it was not until we reached that section we were able to begin to secure facts concerning the riot. To begin with, we found that the city, in spite of great protest, on the part of the better class Negroes citizens, had designated the Negro section for the Red Light District. This condition brought into that section of Houston, of course, not only the worst white rowdies, but likewise the worst Negro rowdies, "for like attracts like." And now the police of Houston have started a purity squad with the intention of cleaning out that end of Houston, and naturally any petty crime committed by a Negro is much greater in volume than the same crime committed by a white person. However, on the morning of Sept. 14, we were directed to the home of Mrs. Sarah Travis, who lives at No. 914 Gaulin St., Mrs. Travis being the woman at whose house the trouble started. We found her ready to start on a journey of delivering some laundry, but she gladly consented to return to her home and tell us what she knew about this Houston trouble. Mrs. Travis, as you know, had been branded as a bad character. She immediately invited us into her humble little home, consisting of not more than three rooms, where she and her husband and three children resided, and we were fascinated with the manner in which Mrs. Travis related her experience with the Houston police on the morning of Aug. 23rd. We deemed it wise to let this little woman know that an automobile load of policemen were even then on the street not far from her home. To our great surprise, this frail little woman looked at us with a peculiar light beaming on her face, and stated, "O. I am not afraid, I am serving God," and went on to tell us how it all happened, and this is her story: "On the morning of Aug. 23rd, I was in here ironing as hard as I ever did, when I heard a noise, as if some one was entering, I looked up and saw a big police officer standing over me, who demanded that I tell him what had become of the 'niggers' that had just run through my yard. I answered that. I had been very busy doing my work and had not seen anybody run through the yard. This officer, using the vilest language (which the writer is eliminating), said, I was a liar and stated that he was from Ft. Bend, where 'niggers' were not allowed to talk back. At this juncture another officer ran in and asked what was the trouble. In the meantime the first officer had entered my bedroom and was looking underneath things. He, however, returned to the outer room in answer to the second officer's inquiry, stating that he had a 'nigger' wench, who dared to answer him back. After giving his brother officer this information, he started again into my room, and I inquired of him what he wanted in there? and upon this insolence on my part. First officer slapped me over and began hauling me out to the ambulance. It was a very warm day and I had on very few clothing because I was ironing behind closed doors, so I asked the officer to allow me to get my clothes before going, he handled me but rougher and quicker, stating that 'a nigger did not need clothes.' "When he was about to put me in the ambulance, he looked up and saw a Colored soldier coming up the street, the soldier scarcely looked up, continuing on his way minding his own business, without passing one word with any person on the street. The infurred policeman ran up to the soldier and demanded of him his mission on that street, and the Colored soldier merely stated that he simply happened to be passing that way and knew nothing of any trouble, stating, that if his presence in that vicinity caused any further disturbance he would withdraw, but as a recompense, for good behavior, the officer beat him insensible with the butt end of his revolver, thew him in the ambulance with me and took us together to the station. "At the station this officer reported me as being a disreputable character and my own people in this vicinity, who knew me, when called, refused, out of fear, to go up and testify in my behalf, but the white people for whom I workd vindicated me on this point, telling the chief that 1 was a hard working women." "When Corporal Baltimore heard of the soldier's arrest, he accosted the officer to ascertain the trouble, which was his duty. Baltimore was unarmed and did not anticipate any trouble, he is rated as one of the best behaved men in the entire regiment, according to Major Snow, the commanding officer, and upon this occasion wanted only to do his duty, but eye and ear witnesses stated that the only reply received by Baltimore from the officer was a deadly aimed blow from the butt of his gun. The soldier got to his feet as quick as possible and ran up an alley nearby, landing beneath a woman's bed, but he was pursued by the officers who fird as they ran."

ORDER YOUR EXTRA CORPS COPIES IN TIME The story of the Houston riot as gathered in person by our managing editor, now running in this paper will be concluded in our next issue.

There is no reason why our schools should be less appreciated. There is no reason why we should condemn the instructions of other teachers. If you are not leaning forward, step aside and give room for your black brothers' shoulders. In a commercial and educational career, our colored girls experience many disadvantages and are very much handicapped. This, however, is a blessing in disguise and gives us the advantage over the girls of other races for the experience and sufferer, and makes them our minds with new thoughts. What sorrowful tears of shame we have shed, and oft we long to go where weakness is swallowed up in strength and where sin gives place to eternal perfection. But here we are with work before us to do or which we feel little mental or physical courage! We have found that the road to perfection leads upward, and in climbing we slip back so often that sometimes we despair of ever reaching the top. The time may come when those who know us now crude, childish and in a state of incompleteness, will look upon us with amazement and say, "What hath/ God wrought, and what glorious accomplishments!" If we believed such a time would not come, we would want to flee into the holes and dive over the cliff. Give us something to do, and if you can at least give us a smile and a few encouraging words to show us that you appreciate our efforts. Let us kindly lend each other a helping hand, especially when we see one struggling earnestly to reach the goal. Speaking of the discouragements and disadvantages—thanks to Providence we can say that we have some encouragements and advantages though they be few and far between for before we profit we must experience smoe pain. He who knows the greatest happiness has also known the greatest sorrows. Let is be ours to realize that we are about to overcome difficulties and are making our light our life; our thoughts our actions. It is not necessary to ask riches in order to succeed. To reform oneself is but a step to reform the world. If we ail to reach our attainments in life let us encourage others; for we have Heaven yet, to gain, therefore nothing great to lose. It is true that celestian gracies do not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly prosperity—and ill fortune oten arise rom a superabundance of qualities in themselves good, but not justly obtained, inculcated in a conscience too sensitive, a taste too tidious, a self-forgetfulness too romantic, and a modesty too retiring. The poet has truthfully said that the world oftimes knows nothings of its greatest men; that there are forms of greatness, or at least excellence, which die "and make no sign." There are martyrs who make the stake but miss the palm. There are heroes without the laurels and conquerors non-triumphant. This is transmitted into a theme o another poet who said, "Full many a gem of purest ray seen the dark unfathomed cave of ocean bear; full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert's air. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis olly to be wise." The summary of this is to realize that all the world asks of us is just common sense, which as we all know, so many fail to bring back with them from the different institutions of learning. I have never felt an occasion to become sorry for pursuing a course in this college. I have labored in hopes of exemplifying to the world my accomplishments in this institution and give to others what has been given to me. It is now ours to be filled with that desire to show to Professor Biggers who is devoting his life to the interest of his race for the commercial pursuits of life and who is daily sacrificing pleasures that he might enjoy to do good for both old and young in the healms of his race.

His address was well received, and when he said, I am informed that there are over ninety thousand members of the I. W.
