BLACK SOLDIER WINS WAR'S HIGHEST DECORATION KU KLUX KLAN CHARTERED IN NORTH CAROLINA SOUTHERN TERRORISTS ARE DENOUNCED BY FEARLESS TAR HEEL EXECUTIVE Raleigh, N. C.—Denouncing the Loyal Order of Klausmen, which has received a state charter and is being widely advertised in the newspapers, among them Secretary Daniels' democratic organ here, Governor Bickett has called on all North Carolinians to repudiate this "desperately wicked appeal to race prejudice, and to withhold money from "this scheme so transparently impossible, so plainly a gold brick proposition that ordinarily the inmates of an institution of the feeble-minded could not be induced to part with their coin for a certificate of membership in such a soap bubble." Gov. Bickett's attack, which is said to be the first made by any Southern governor on this organization which is secretly sweeping over the South, comes in the middle of a campaign for membership. His attack may be followed by libel suits by the promoters, who justify the organization as an answer to activities among Negroes who are organizing. The governor catalogues from literature the undertakings of the order, which will "protect our farmer, his crops and our cotton; protect our country from lawless invasions; protect the women of our South; protect our government; protect our state laws; protect our country from foreign interference in the state; protect our properties from unlawful seizures; protect people from riots and disorders."

RACE'S PLEA FOR GENUINE DEMOCRACY "EMBARRASSING" SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN It is to be sadly regretted that Southern congressmen in Washington are being "embarrassed" by the "agitation" and "drive" of colored constituents in the South, who are counted in for representation purposes in the national body, but counted at the polls of Dixie. According to a "special" dispatch in Saturday's Houston Post. These distinguished and extinguished solons are greatly perturbed and disturbed because of "many letters and much literature placed in hands of members of congress" emanating from colored or colored constituents. For practical application at home, not abroad of President Wilson's "self-determination" policy "n everything." The article goes on to say: "These members of congress are not unmindful of the good work done in the war by the Negroes, but they resent that being seized upon as a basis for threats and demands which they do not believe should be made at this time." Once more we see the poor mathematics and logic of supposed Southern statemen and solons, who are "embarrassed" because American citizens ask that the "democracy" for which we fought in France, for Europe and the world, be put into daily operation in the country. Rather sad commentary upon a civilization when the citizens of a country and constituent们 of representatives in the national body "embarrass" these national legislators by telling the truth and pleading for a square and fair deal. (Let us pray!) When America was calling men to go forth battles were being floated, how many of these "embarrassed Southern congressmen" thought the time unripe for colored Americans to rally to the cause as other citizens of the Republic? If these "embarrassed Southern congressmen" want to be to "embarrassed," it is up to them to preach and teach both by preaching and by demonstration. Our national chieftain has loudly proclaimed that America entered the war "to make the world safe for democracy," and since the black race has materially assisted in making the victory of arms possible; and since the colored American is part and parel of this great commonwealth, having been forcibly removed from the land, it made it bloom forth as a modern Garden of Eden, he would be untruce to his race and unworthy of American citizenship were he to swallow all these various conceptions of bitter and unpleasant medicine without at least protesting and asking for a different kind of medicine. there were 28 lynchings in "democratic America," 25 of the victims being colored Americans—not enemy aliens. We wonder how many of the Southern congressmen were "embarrassed" at such barbary brutality and bestiality as practiced by their race brothers and kinsmen upon a poor and deprived family. Here is the record of Judge Lynch's states: Alabama, three; Arkansas, four; Florida, two; Georgia, three; Louisiana four; Mississippi, seven; Missouri, one; North Carolina, two; South Carolina, one; Texas, one. In this number one colored woman was lynched and three white men. Could a dabbalist, dastardly and damnable record "embarrassed" these Southern congressmen? The black man is segregated, jim-crowed, legislated against, disfranchised, paid starvation wages in many Southern centers, held in many of the big plantations of the South, espionage, enslaved, enslaved and Mississippi; his women are the victims of the brutish and fiefdish passions of other racial groups and where he dares to defend his home lynch law is the order of the day. Because his skin is black and thereby easy to be imbitated by employing lamp-black, etc. many colored men are mobbed in the South for crimes they never committed and knew absolutely nothing about. The colored American pay the same fare for black men as the carriers of the South as other racial groups and comes to receiving the same service there is another tale to tell. This is highway robbery and grand larceny, whether practiced by the Federal government or private ownerly. The Southern courts and officials, almost to a man, absolutely refuse to even arrest, to say nothing of indicting, the participants in mob fests, but on the other hand encourage same. This was recently shown by the arrest of a brother to a sheriff of an Alabama county, who took part in a mob that lynched a white man. The sheriff, as is always the case, Bam, permitted the lynching, but the courage of the mob from office. This is an exception rather than the rule for a Southern executive. Even at that it is to be wondered if the state magistrate would have acted similarly had the victim been a colored citizen. This is another concrete example of the law of retribution—a law that would allow the embarrassed to such deeds and acts are giving the lid to our house-top preachments of universal freedom, worldwide democracy and humanliberty. Are they exponents of "democracy" in its trust and most practical sense; or are they disciples of oligarchy, aristocracy, anarchy and autocracy? Are they "embarrassed" in our herculean efforts to blot out autocracy and militarism in Germany and wart at aristocracy and mobism in America? Are they "embarrassed" at the action of Americans trying to muddle and dabble into domestic affairs of England in the "Irish domain." Did the disemboweling of Mrs. Mary Turner at Valdosta, Ga., last year by a mob of white citizens (Lord save the church!) "embarrassed" these Southern congressmen? Did dilers, wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam—men who have braved the perils and dangers of the battlefields, to protect the lives and fortunes of their destroyers and arche-engineers, and perpetuity, progress and peace of the Republic "embarrassed" these Southern congressmen? Does the attempt of President Wilson to clean up the premises of Europe without first getting his own house and yard in order "garbage" these congressmen from the South? Does the running rampant of race prejudice and the onrush of class and caste antagonism "embarrassed" these Dixie congressmen? Do none of these things move against it? O, what times! O, what customs! O, what hypocrisy! O, what inconsistency! The trouble is not so much with the "agitation" waged by the colored citizens of the country, particularly the South, but with the soap-box politicians of the South, who rode on the back of the war. During the war the race question was somewhat submerged, for these politicians and their ilk found it more popularr and in tune with the spirit of the day to denounce corporate everything German than in lambasting and anathematizing black Americans. But now the war is over and the Huns of yesterday are the angels of today, simply because their faces are white and not because their undergone any radical change in their views of the South. Perhaps this is information to those "embarrassed Southern congressmen." These "embbarrassed Southern congressmen" should ponder well over the adage, "Nothing is settled until it is settled right" if they would make up their minds that it is downright wrong to endeavor to stay the inevitable. Democracy must be enjoyed by other racial or national units without the black man at least getting his share. To try to prevent this is like making an effort to dip all the water out of the Pacific ocean with a gallon pail. If these contensions for a practical application were Wilsonian brand of "democracy" over heath, the "embbarrassing" our dear Dixie dallies, let them read the handwriting on the wall; and if they do not possess a Daniel in their midst who is able to interpret it, this is the interpretation: "Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting. Your kingdom (office) will be taken from you and given to you who are progressive, far-scoring, humanist, and worthy exemplars of democracy and a Christian civilization." Finally, brethren: 6. Hush, little solos, don't you cry. 7. You'll be retired, by and by, Selah! HIGHEST FRENCH HONORS CONFERRED UPON CORPORAL OF 372ND INFANTRY, U. S. A. Boston.—Clarence R.

He wrote a letter to the unimpire. "It was a pretty good game and we beat them 4 to 2. They never scored on me till the fifth. I didn't have anything on the ball, and my one pitcher lot was out, so every time I got in a hole I just throw the ball over easy, and over the fence it was hit, ending the inswing.

Im Flagged, who was secured by the Im Flagged Eiffel from the Chattanooga team of the Southern association, where he gained a reputation of being a consistent hitter, went well during the training stay at Macon and the Atlanta team, where he gained before Cobb joined the club. Then he was on the bench and he was expect- Ira Flagstead. ed to stay there, to be ready for emergency duty in the outfield. The rest is an old story. Shorten injured his big near the end of the game against Cleveland and then was forced out of the lineup when his leg again gave him more trouble. Flagstad got three runs in that second game, the Indians, has played excellent ball in all departments ever since and now is the club's regular right field. He has been hitting more than 300 most of the time, much of the time, but he has his good fortune. Many other ball players with batting marks almost as big as Flagstad's have come from the minors and failed in the playoffs too good. I may also fall for the same reason, but there seems little chance. He has faced the best pitching in the league and hit far above the average right, after starting there as a substitute. Many minor league phenoms have been curve-balled out of the majors, but Flagstad has shown no weakness against this kind of pitching. He is just on his feet, covers a net of ground and has a strong arm. He has faced several trying situations and judgment at those times has been good. Many Motor Boats. There are 40,083 motor boats registered in the United States. Mailed Letter to Newark. He has sent several letters, picked up by the Chicago lion on their training trip, was mailed to Newark of the International league, where he seems to be going good. Priest is Athletic Commissioner.

EDDIE COLLINS JOE BENZ EDDIE WILSON JACK DUMNER LEVA BLADOWER DUTCH LEWARD EDDIE CICAFTE Many ball players have fads of one kind and another. A brief list might be instructive. Mike Hibbard, who has played shortstop on many teams, collects pennants from the various cities he visits. Joe Benga has an account of every ball pitcher pitched pasted away in a scrap book. Dutch Leonard has a passion for talking machines, and spends much of his spare cash purchasing records. Strong for flowers. Baldwin holds up for flowers, and picks up a rose bush here and a new kind of plant there for his garden back in a suburb of Philadelphia. A large number of players keep scrap books. Ed Walsh has a pile of large enough to stock a small library. Few players have had so many features written about them as to make them a favorite. He filed from one to four pages in his book. Ed also picked up pictures of himself in action, and has fixed up his shoes. He has a den, Conn, which is said to be one of the finest of its kind in the writed Jack Fournier, former Son and Yankee, at his home in Los Angeles Hotel, writes Malcolm MacLean in Detroit Free Press. Jack is one of the coast's star players and seems certain he will be major again before the year is out. His room was bare of ornaments —unless a wardrobe and trunk could be considered such—and the only objection was the table on a table beside the water pitcher. Many of the clippings in his books refer to him as the Frenchman, which he collects with great delight. "You clobbed it," I was born in Michigan. Had Great Time. "I had a great time when I played it with Montreal," he continued. "The French años took us to their hearts and I couldn't understand anything other that I couldn't understand any English except a few words like 'bail', the pastime. And I didn't have to buy many dinners in Montreal, either. I had no money, so my others used in playing the pastime." "And I didn't have to buy many dinners in Montreal, either. I had no money, so my others used in playing the pastime." PLAYED IN GAS MASKS Hank Gowky tells of playing one inning of a ball game over in France with the players from the team made up of Twenty-sixth division boys. Hank pitched, and of course his team won, 4-2. He and the team made up Hank and to all others who have worn these gas masks was his center fielder carrying a fly through the dim planes. BASEBALL STORIES Claiming the pennant now is like dancing around a May pole in December. Truck Hannah, catcher of the Yankees, is a heavy hitter. He's also a heavy runner.

Canh Star's baseball team of Havana will shortly begin a tour of cities of the eastern part of this country, opening in New York city. There is no doubt that Fletcher as a player is a great broadcaster, so few of them bound badly away from him as men do with others. at one of the French homes, and I had one swell year of it. Many of them called me Jacques Floyen, and I could often hear them yelling that I was at bat. Before closing, we might state that the Angles have a hitting trio that compares favorably with many of those in the majors—Former All-Star Johnny Haze was at bat, fourth, and then comes Rube Ellis, ex Cardinal. OPINION OF ARBITER KLEM Veteran Umpire Saife All Player Are Battling, as if Life Depended Upon Outcome. Take it from Bill Klem, veteran umpire of the National league, the current pennant campaign is going to be one of the most bitterly fought races in the annals of the pastime. M. B. S. Umpire Kyle Klem. Bill has imputed his way through many sessions, but he declares that not since the days of the old intercity rivalry between New York and Chicago and New York and Pittsburgh has been so fought so keenly fought so keenly in every contest to win as they appear to be doing now. The old game is back," declared Kyle Klem, and when he said the boys are all battling as if life itself hung upon the outcome of the chase. That is the spirit that makes baseball the most popular of all sports, and when he said the step of the journey there has been a praiseworthy lack of disorderly conduct on the field for which I am sure the fans are grateful."

JUNIOR TOPIC-The Baptism of Jesus INTIMIDATE TOPIC-The Pledge NORTHERN TOPIC-The Pledge NORTHERN AND ADULT TOPIC-Significance and Importance of Christian Baptism. 1. The Apostles' Commission (Matt. 20:30). 1. The authority of Jesus, (v. 18) God gave him, all authority, in heaven and on earth. As mediator and coming he possessed all authority. This authority extends over all the martyrs, and his own people. God highly exalted him and gave him a name which is above every name (Phil. 10:16). He is in no other way of salvation, and his own demeany is in his hand (Acts 4:12). Since God has no highly honored him it is extreme folly to expect to be alone disregarding the apostles (vv. 19-20). from the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. Beginning with this Scripture he preached Christ. He did not preach Christ as a great teacher, but as a teacher of the sinner. He preached him as one who had offered himself as a ransom for many. The fact that the eunch, a great statesman, needed an a plain passage as the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, shows the absolute need of a preacher. The printed page is valuable, but there will always be the need to be experienced before one can be a witness of its saving power. 2. The eunch requesting baptism (v. 6). When Christ is truly preschemed naturally desire to confess him in baptism. In many quarters baptism has been unduly emphasized, but in others it has been disregarded. It is highly important that the eunch be standing of its meaning be possessed; for that of which Jesus Christ gave an example and a command is highly important. 3. Baptism the hagging (v. 38). Having secured from the eunch the proper confession Baptism hagged him. It is faith in Christ that saves, and the faith of Jesus that deals it to Baptism. 4. The eunuch rejoicing (v. 88). Confession of Christ brings joy. Those who obey the commandments of the Lord can go on their way rejoicing. More Than Life. Religion is not a matter of intellectual luxury to those of us who are interested in it, but something very different. It is our life; and more importantly, it is our pulse, by pulse-beats, but our religious consciousness partakes of the infinite, toward which it is constantly yearning. It is very possible that a hunter, a priest, a monk, or the forms of religious belief may be so altered that we should hardly know them. But the sense of dependence on divine influence, and the need of faith, will be then just what they are now. It is not the geologist's hammer, or the astronomer's telescope, or the naturalist's microscope, that is going to take away the need of the human heart in the rest upon—Oliver Wendell Homes. Jesus Savea. An as child walking over a slippery and dangerous path cries out, "Father, I am falling!" and has a moment to catch his father's hand, so every moment he sees Jesus comes between him and the abysses of destruction—Ouyter. The Trust Help. The trust help we can render to Jesus is to burden him, but to call out his best strength that he may be able to bear the burden—Phillips Brooks.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER'S BIG YARD CLEANING AND SANITATION CONTEST Commencing TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1919, Ending SATUR- DAY, AUGUST 30, 1919. GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Four prizes will be awarded to the successful con- testants at the LINCOLN THEATRE, TUESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 2, 1919. First Price—a $5 gold piece. Second prize—$3 in cash. Third prize—1 year's subscription to The Informer. Fourth prize—6 months' subscription to The Informer. OUR PURPOSE, AIM AND OBJECT In promoting this YARD CLEANING AND SANITATION CONTEST among our people in this city, The Houston Informer is mindful of the fact that "Right-couness and healthfulness exalteth a nation, but sin and sickness are a curse to any people." This is a preventive rather than a curative age. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This contest is not launched to cheat the undertaker out of his means of a livelihood, nor to bankrupt the physician; but to prolong the lives of many members of our race who are dying premature and untimely deaths, due to insanity and unhealthy conditions existing mostly in our residential districts. The prizes do not represent much in monetary value, but it is a new departure for race newspapers in this part of the country to stage such a campaign and the success of this one will mean larger prizes next year. The incessant rain during the past months have grown weeds and bred mosquitoes and other carriers of disease, death, desolation and despair and we must do our duty to prevent the breaking out or spreading of any epidemic or disease, by cutting the weeds and grass, draining all ditches and cleaning up our premises generally. We must safeguard not only the health of ourselves and immediate family, but the entire citizenry. CONDITIONS OF THE CONTEST 1. This contest is open to every bona-fide, paid-up subscriber of The Houston Informer in the City of Houston. All subscribing on or before SATURDAY, August 16, 1919, will be eligible no this contest. 4.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1919 "Give us men; a time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office cannot kill, Men whom the desire of money cannot buy, Men whom possess opinions and will, Men who have honor, men who will not lie, Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous mind without winking, Till men who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking." convention in Atlantic City, N. J., in unconditionally opening its labor history of this country. Since the days of enforced servitude the colored laborer, while worthy of his hire, has fared miserably through lack of proper wages due to the refusal of the organized labor to open wide its doors to him. He has toiled and toiled and when he was through, a tired and lame back was about his only real compensation. The labor circles will be operated and conducted along pure democratic business lines. There is an old adage which says: "In union there is strength." There can be no real power where there is not an organization of forces. This fact was vividly demonstrated upon the battlefields of Europe during the late marital unpleasantness. The infidelity of the organized labor circles had vainly and futively striven to successfully block the onrush hordes of the enemy. But when General Ferdinand Foch was placed in supreme command and all the allied forces united and concentrated—organized—a different story was written and the armistice it was simply a matter of weeks or months before unconditional surrender would be the cry of the central powers. Where men are unorganized they are the victims of many and various kinds of mistreatments and they are not able to secure any redress or secure a fair and square deal. Years the colored laborer has been the South's most reliable and most powerful sources of jobs were obtained for a song and a dance, figuratively speaking. When he asked for bread he was given a stone and when he sought fish he was tendered a scorpion. Philosophically he took his dose of medicine good-natured and maintained an implicit belief that the right right would finally triumph and that a decent salary would be his. Many of them have lived to see that day, even without an organization, but because they are enjoying good wages today, without being organized, is no sound, sensible and sane reason that such blessings will continue to flow upon them without unionizing. They will continue to guard and protect their interests mutually, permanently. It is a very unwise man who can not discern the signs of the time; who can not see that many things that were veritably thrust upon him during the war will as easily depart during and after the war. He will not sacrifice himself by organizing his forces to render such impossible. The black man is now enjoying wages that will make the mouths of other racial groups water in the next few months and all kinds of schemes and plans will be resorted to in an effort to improve the good-going American, and unless he is backed and protected by a strong organization he will be forced to capitulate, speaking industrially. There is a deal of suspicion permeating the colored laborers in these parts respecting the sincerity and fairness of the American people, its recent pronouncement, action and its late activity in organizing. Many of them remember when previous efforts were made a few years ago to organize the colored workers and how strikes ensued and both races walked out; how the white striking brothers saw restored to the household of faith, while the black strikers were compelled to view things from the exterior thereafter. Many of them joined unions, paid their dues and when they would return to their former jobs would be told that there was work to do. A burnt child dreads fire and having been burnt considerably along this line, it is going to require some little effort to get the colored workers to align and affiliate themselves with the American Federation of Labor. They do not care to be employed as a stepping stone to higher things, because these things have been secured and made possible the black man will get the ax where the turkey received it—in the neck. If there is to be any petty and cheap politics in the affair, let THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1919 JOHN B. HARRIS We are glad to announce that Mr. the Houston pastor C. A.

When it is remembered that since the "40 acres and a mule" promise of civil war time down to this present date, the colored man, particularly in the South, has always been taken advantage of by the white man, who has been the money-grabbing czar and autocrat and it is not to be marveled at when he regards such innovation as "Greeks bearing gifts." You can not blame him, for he does not want his "Troy" destroyed and laid in waste. Pretty good logic on his part, and he will be rewarded for it. "Note fair" by and with the colored brother, it will find in him the most treasonous, loyal, faithful and conscientious worker in the annals of history. If dealt with fairly and squarely he will prove himself a great asset, where on the other hand he is a liability now, as far as the white man.

Of course there was no jis, but I knew the "dickety-skirt," for the "deep third." I say deep third, knowingly. Everything went smooth, not a single street. I met our first stop at the corner of Wall and Lawrence Streets where we reached our first store on the merchants, Mr. I.

"The surest and quickest way to bring business to its pre-war basis is to overcome the general apathy to buying which exists in the minds of many people at present. Advertising will do this." "We would like to see more retail advertising and more national advertising, and we believe the press of the country and yourselves will appreciate the fosterings of such a movement by the department of labor."
