BOTH RACES HAVE SUFFERED MANY CASUALTIES ARE WE TO HAVE A REIGN OF TERROR? RACE MEN, PROVOKE NO DISTURBANCES! The race riot in Washington, D. C., and its attendant serious and fatal results, is a regrettable and demoralizing incident, and adds weight to the argument that President Wilson should endeavor to make America safe for all nations before attempting to reform the world. Since his induction into office he has diplomatically and politically avoided employing his high office to blot out the lynch spirit. Even while the country was at war and faced with extraordinary powers, he persistently refused to say or do one thing to destroy the court of Judge Lynch. It is true he came out with a pronouncement against lynching, but that was not done with extraordinary powers. He was lynched in Illinois and Wilson was fearful that the Germans would attempt reprisals upon both American civilians and soldiers. When brutal and barbarous deeds of Southern mobs were revered, he has on more than one occasion remarked that he had heard nothing of such incidents. He has dealt in glittering generalities and employed high sounding phrases and scholarly rhetorics prescriptive of the press, but undoubtedly he did not or does not include the United States in the world; for he has consistently and steadfastly refused to make any effort to put into execution these teachings and preachings by precept and example at home. Who can doubt but that this race riot was the work of Providence, in order that Chief Wilson would not have to be told of the affair, but could witness it in his own hands andaked eyes or through his eyes. We wonder what he will say now, if his European colleagues would ask him what about his country 'be safe for its own citizens? It reflects very discreditably upon the military and naval departments of this country, when men in uniform will run rampant and seek to do violence unto American citizens who have committed no wrong. The multiplicity of racial clashes almost simultaneously throughout the country bodies ill for this nation, unless the causes giving rise to such unfortunate disturbances are remedied forthwith and that permanently. Looking at it from one angle it might appear to some that it is a wholesale gtempt at intimidation and browbeating of colored Americans, who are now insisting upon a fair and impartial participation in the democracy for which they fought on the sanguinary and shot-hidden battlefields of France and Switzerland. While they have lowly preclaimed, both at home and abroad. One thing is certain and sure: all these charges of attempted criminal assault upon womanhood are absurd and ridiculous and are so thin that they can easily be seen through. But The Informer is particularly concerned in the colorful and violent scenes. To that and it desires to counsel colored Americans to invoken no Had some of these same tramps had a chance at the enemy "over there" they would have been running yet—in the opposite direction. Yet they are not alone. Many of them are manhunting for one little weak human being! Some bravery! It is said that several colored men have recently attempted crimes upon white women in the nation's capital and after arresting one race man the authorities were convinced that he was not guilty such crime and released him. This action inflamed and infuriated the exponents of mobocracy and Hummish cultur and they forthwith proceeded to take matters in their hands and do violence to every colored person encountered. The informer can not submit evidence that all these reported crimes against women have been committed by race men, if they have really been committed at all. With a howling and hungry mob scouring the city for alleged perpetrators of said crimes, no sensible man would entertain the idea of trying to kill others; the people are being sought with death at the hands Mind you, all this occurred right under the dome of the capitol and in close proximity to the White House, while poor President Wilson was suffering with dysentery. It is to be hoped that he was not to ill to see for such a reason as whom he savagery and barbarism OVER HERE that fade those of the Turks and European Huns "over there" into 'utter insignificance'. While the senate is wrangling over a peace treaty and a covetor and safeguard the world's greatest future wars than denunciations and newspaper articles against lynching will break up the latter in this country, their very lives are being put in jeopardy as rioters patrol and parade the streets of the world, they may devour. Shades of George Washington! How long are, we to behold such Humhain, heathenish and hellish stunts? Any crime upon womanhood should be punishable, but it should and must be done disturbances, either by words or deeds. It is not always employing keen judgment or common sense to say everything one thinks. One must be discreet, remembering that "fools rush in where angels creak." Anybody body or precipitate such racial clashes and domestic disturbances, but once they are set in motion it is like endeavoring to overtake the wind to put them out of commission. They generally continue until shorn of their fury and passion by wearing themselves out. The old adage, "An ounce of cure worth a pound of cure," is a truism that applies as appropriately in the body politic as it does in the physical anatomy. Once the germ of disease secures an abode in the human body, it is the exception rather than the rule to put an end to his ravages and pillaging until it has done his deadly work. So it is more violence, lynchship and anarchy. This is no plea for a demonstration of covariance on the through the legal channels and not by a bunch of hoodlums and roughnecks taking the law into their hands. Their things occur at the capital of the country, what must one expect way down in "Bam" The seeds of mobocracy have been planted so deeply and firmly by its Southern expONENT have been planted so deeply and that it is fast gripping the entire country, with direful results. Once upon a time such acts of the mobs were never opposed with force by black Americans, and the peanuts of the peanut war each attempt recently has met with many casualties and serious reverses, with the end hardly in sight. While Washington is not particularly Northern, the far enough not to be pregnant with a spirit of contempt for law and order; for if this spirit is permitted to continue unchecked, a boomerang 'is inevitable and then who can gain assistance that even the president's life will not be in danger? ing to be frequent and fatal. The Washington riot is both fortunate and unfortunate; fortunate because it was enacted by the mob, and very eyes of congressmen, chief magistrate and other high gubernatorial officials and it brings home to them in a concrete form and most striking manner the odiousness and heinousness of the spirit of mob-violence and the violence of anarchy wrought by this arch-ency of good government; unfortunate in that it ruptures racial relations and anchones a spirit of violence and anarchy, exacting its toll in human lives and physical suffering. When spoken by action in Longview, Texas; Norfolk, Va., or Washington, D.C., each incididual proclaims the arrival of a new day and a new type of colored man, who is determined to protect his life, his family and the rest, efforts of the mobbists to the contrary notwithstanding. part of our people; but for fear some members of the race will go around with a "chip on their shoulder" watchfully waiting for some one to knock it off (which will invariably happen). The Informer advises that we employ cool and level heads at all times and as much as lie within us live peacefully with all men, remember, any old fool or fossilized man, will be able to work with big brains, ruby hearts, reinforced by humanitarian spirit and impulsed and motivated by a proper conception of right and wrong to bring internal peace and domestic tranquility out of such demoralizing and disgraceful situations. The Informer especially wishes to urge the colored citizens of Houston and South Texas, where it has a wide circulation, to refrain from any act or utterance calculated in the least to stir up racial animosity and rupture the between the two races in this section. This attempted reign of terror must be suppressed. The Ka Klexan Klax, whether operating in ALABAMA COLORED SOLDIER'S DEATH SENTENCE AFFIRMED BY STATE'S HIGHEST COURT Aniston, Ala.—Sergt. Edgar Caldwell, the Negro soldier convicted at a special term of the circuit court of Calhoun County for the murder of Conductor Cecil Linton on the afternoon of December 15, will be hanged in the Calhoun County jail yard on Friday, August 15, exactly eight months after the commission of the crime. The Supreme Court of Alabama on Monday handed a decision down sustaining the verdict of the Calhoun County Court and jury which inflicted the death penalty on the slayer of the street car man. The only thing which can save the Negro from the hangman's noose is the commuting power of Governor Thomas E. Kilby, or some unforeseen and unexpected situation, and the chances are that the Negro soldier will pay for the penalty for his crime on the gallows. The case of Caldwell has become one of the few celebrated criminal cases arising in this county. While riding as a passenger on the street car of the dead conductor last December, the soldier and the conductor became involved in a difficulty. After being ejected from the car by Conductor Linton and his motorman, Kelsie Morrison, Caldwell drew a small calibre pistol from his blouse, shot Conductor Linton squarely through the head, killing him instantly. Turning the lera's Hospital for several days but finally recovered. He is now engaged in the same capacity with the Alabama Power Company's street car service and but for the slight lameness of his right shoulder and arm, has entirely recovered from the effect of the pistol shot in his neck. A feature of the case which created a profound sensation was the action of President Wilson in wiring the governor of Alabama asking a postponement of Caldwell's sentence so that the Attorney General of the United States could investigate the matter. Hundreds of citizens and officials in the North have taken a hand in the letter writing and telegraphing, and the Caldwell case has become one of the most widely known in the history of the country. Caldwell was a member of the 157th Depot Brigade and had been to Hobson City on the afternoon on which Linton was shot and killed. A peculiar feature developed at the trial of the accused Negro before the Calhoun County jury. It was understood that Caldwell had always denied the shooting. His attorney, however, desired to urge in mitigation of the offense that he shot on great provocation. The upshot was that they made this argument for him, but he did not take the stand to testify in his own behalf. North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Virginia or District of Columbia, must be banished from this country and sent to join their erstwhile imperial lord and autocratic emperor. Texas Educator Tendered High Post In Cracker State International greed and availce brought about the great world martial conflict. Racial antipathy and prejudice, supernatural hostility, and the presence of a certain element in this country to keep the black man in abject slavery and oppression and deny him those rights and privileges made possible for others by the black man's contributions of men and money and property and federal constitutions, are responsible for these race riots, if such they can be rightly termed. As American citizens let us be orderly and law-abiding, at the same time not relinquishing one vestige of our manhood, fortitude, and bravery.

The Thirteenth Commandment DUANE AGAIN COMES TO RESCUE AS DAPHNE SEEHS HER CHANCE TO BECOME A STAR SLIpping AWAY. **Daphne:** Clay Winhurst, a young New Yorker on a visit to Cleveland, meets pretty Daphne Klip, whose brother is in the same office with Clay in Wall street. After a wildfield courtship they become engaged. Daphne agrees to an early marriage, and after extracting from her money-worried father what she regards as a sufficient sum of money for the purpose she goes to New York with her mother to buy her trombone. Daphne's brother, Bayard, has just married and left for Europe. Bayard's brother, Daphne's father, Bayard's flat. Winhurst introduces Daphne and her mother to luxurious New York life. Daphne meets Tom Duane, man-bout-who, who seems greatly attracted to her. Daphne accidentally discovers that Clay is peniless, except for his salary. Bayard and his wife return to New York. Bayard and the two younger women buy expensive gowns, having them charged to Bayard. Bayard is furious over the expense, seeing hard times ahead. Daphne, indignant, declares she will earn her own living and breaks her engagement with Clay. Through an introduction by Duane, Daphne indignates, she a theatrical magnate, to give her a position in one of his companies. CHAPTER X—Continued. Miss Kemble went forward to Daphnia and took her hand and petted it and said: "I'm so glad to be with you." Vilina, who won't object to your playing her parts, "I'm sure." Mrs. Vilina, who had played all her games for half a century, and was now established as a famous player of hateful old grand dames, warded Daphnia her ready vinegar and chose to host her. She came down from his office to make up his own mind. He smiled with a kind of challenging cordiality and murmured: "So our little girl is going to open the shop. Well all you've got to do is to deliver the goods and I'll buy 'em at your own price." Daphnia and the kitchen table stood on the apron of the stage under a naked bunch of light giving brilliance. "Place, please, for the entrance." Daphnia nodded. "The noble matteie idol put his on the table, walked on, sat down on a divan composed of two broken chairs and read an imaginary news- Batterson said: "Doorbell! Bunz? A well-dressed young man, who maneuvered across and opened an imaginary door between two chairs. This was the cue for Miss Kemble's Everybody waited and watched for the newcomer to make her debut in the new world. Then was a silence. Daphne stood with heels screwed to the floor and gagged to the roof of her mouth. "All right, Miss Kip," said Batterson with ominous patience. "Come on, another silence, then Daphne laughed and choked. 'I'm awfully stupid. I've forgotten the light, brighted气罩 and grown!' HowJado! HowJado! "Oh, yes! Thank you. I'm so embarrassed, said Daphne, and walked on the wrong side of the chairs. Everybody shuddered to realize that she had entered through a solid wall. That was no ignoring the diligently obsequent note she struck when she bowed to the butter and stammered: [A sigh went through the vast proddon and void of the empty theater. Instinct told even the echoes that she was not going to belong. Batterson grated, tragically. "Not to the butter, please! Don't say 'How are you?' to the butter. It was a butter. It was a butter. Please, Script says 'Howdid you?' Say 'Howdado' to Mr. Eldon there. Say 'Howdado' to Mr. Eldon there. Say 'Howdado' to Mr. Eldon there. Daphne, bowing to Eldon and speaking with a soullessness of a squeezed doll. Eldon rose, folded up his pitying pitying desire to help her. He hoped that the scared little Klip woman would win through the same bitter trials to the changed success. But he had a fear. He delivered her her line with his heart. He gave her her line with exquisite tact. She did not repeat it after him. He said, "Don't be afraid; you are all right." He gave her the line again and she parroted it after him. She leaped then to an office minutes later. She drew her back. "Pardon me, but I think I have a line before that." Daphne blundered on. It was not Daphne's fright that disturbed the rest. It was her complete failure to suggest the character, or any char But Batterson found nothing to amuse him, and Reben tasted that amuse him, and Reben with which theatrical managers are so familiar when they bite on the Dead sea fruit of beauty without draining Miss Kemble tried to help. She asked Daphne to step aside and watch while she went through the scene. But Reben was not interested in her own lines and had to refer to the manuscript, while Bidon waited in the room. "Oh, I see," I think I understand it now. "Then she forgot it all again and she went to show how the heart was wooed by the end and Batterson dismissed the company with sincere thanks. Then he was to Bidon to demand a substitute. Daphne went home, dreading her fate but not knowing what the verdict was. She felt sure that it would be wrong. She felt sure that the difficulty was worn out with the use of her own faults and uncertain which she feared the more—to be dismissed or untainted. The latter meant unending trials. At the elevator she found Tom Dumne. He had just telephoned up her department to ask if she were in there. There was no answer. She frankly delight. She asked him up. Tom Dumne was electric with cheer. He and Daphne with inoffensive heartiness of her progress. She gave the worst possible account of her stupidity—would have none of her self-deprecation. "Everything's got to be begun," he said. "Some of the greatest actors are bad at rehearsal, and never get over it. Everyone is bad at rehearsal and are at their worst on the first performance. You're bound to succeed. You have beauty and charm and grace and intelligence to speak to Reheen and make him restrain Batterson. We'll make a star of you yet." Here was a fine reassurance in that word "impede." It gave her strength to go to the telephone and call Up Dumne, to despair and collapsed on the divan. Tom Duane was at her side instantly. "You're ill! In heaven's name, what can I do?" His solitude pleased her. She smiled paley: "Mr. Reben told me he was afraid I'd better give up the job. He was very polite and awfully sorry but he said he didn't think I was quite suited to the work. He said that later, perhaps, there might be another chance, but—oh—oh—oh!" She was crying with all her might. Gradually she realised that Duane's hands were on her shoulders. He was squeezing them as if to keep her from sobbing herself to pieces. His face was close to hers, and he was murmuring: "You poor little thing. You mustn't grieve. You've to fine and too beautiful for such work." She flung herself free. "No, no; I'm an imbecile—I'm no good—that's all." Those big hands were at her shoulders again. That soothing voice was ministering courage and praise: "You are not no good. You shall succeed! I'll make Reben take you back. I've helped Reben out when he was in trouble. I've lent him money and I'll make him give you your chance. I promise that, on my word!" She stared at him through her tears. They blurred him in dancing flashes of light as if he were a sun god. She caught his hands from her shoulders. He Gave Her a Hand-Grip of Perfect Good Fellowship. but she had to hold them in hers. in she was drowning, and she must cling to whatever arms stretched down her, her hands still wrapped around her were till she was safe again on the solid earth. She was laughing now and paiting on her on the back if she were a frightened child. She felt no right to rubble his caresses. They were still on her back, and she was his arm about her that was of a comrade, sustaining another in a battle. she was the only one in the world to be hurt and praised and help in her need. Duane said, with a matter-of-fact THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1919 bristles: "Till call Reben up at once. No, he will see you." "But you put me under such obligation." She said. "Never be afraid of an obligation." "I'm afraid I can never repay it." "Then you one ahead. But you can meet me and you will." "How?" "Let's wait and see. Goodbye." "Don't worry." She gave her a hand grip of perfect good fellowship and went into the hall. She followed him to tell him again how kind he was. As she was clapping, the door opened the door with her latchkey. Now there was triple embarrassment. Tom Duane had paid ardent money for her. Here he was in Bayard's wife's home, apparently fitting with Bayard's young sister. She cried the entangled sentiments of jealousy and all the indication of a chaperon who has been circumcured. Duane retreated in poor condition too brief and needed to suffic. Then she went to her room. There her mother found her when she in later. Daphnia had only a faint hope of a miracle twice, so she told her mother that she had failed as an actress. She told her bluntly. "She was fired." To her comfort her mother caught her to her ample bloom and said: "I'm glad of it. I'm much obliged to whoever could have succeeded you and that you kept at it. But you're too good for such a wicked life. A person could not be an assistant, an incinere and pretender, and my life would be better. So now you come along home with me. "Thank you, momma." Mir, Kip grabbed herself together for a vigorous assault when the telephone rang and the maid brought word that a gentian wished to speak with her. It was Duane, and she braced herself for another blow. But his voice was clarion with success. "All it right. He promised to keep you on and give a chance. He may for you to report at the theater at seven thirty tonight." He was afraid of her success, such as it was, than of her failure. But it was pleasant to carry the news to her mother and it disgusted them both. They were still trying to dissuade her from confronting on the downward path which she had from her father came for her mother: "Taking beaver arrive Grand Central tomorrow don't meet me." Bayard was late, as usual, and Lella's temper had just begun to simmer when the door was opened stealthily. She flicked a finger and freed a small box of jewelry's size and waved it like a flag of true. Lella rushed forward with a cry of desperation, and then the hands and drew Bayard into the room and into her arms. "This is your apology, I suppose," she said. "The apology for being late, and that's what made me late." Bayard was emptied. She adored gifts and she had the knack of inspirational wit, and she provoked her curiosity. She opened it so excitedly that the contents fell to the floor. She sweoped for them and brought up a platinum chain with a ring. She opened the pearls on a device of platinum. Lella ran to Mrs. Kip and Daphne, exclaiming: "Are't they beautiful? Aren't they wonderful? Aren't they beautiful?" Mrs. Kip and Daphne tried to keep the pace, but once more they could not forget who it was that was raining. They were in the doorway. Their alarm was not diminished when Bayard said to Lella: "You're not the only one who can open accounts. I started one for you." He took from his pocket a pale brochure and said to Lael: "That allowance we agreed on, you know?" "Well, instead of paying it to you week by week I decided to open a bank account for you; so I ran over to her and handed her a deposit to your credit—five hundred dollars!" Lael forgot her jewelry for a moment with moustache, waving Mrs. Kip and Daphne aside and saying: "Don't speak to me. I am a lady with a bank account." Lael was in dreary earnest. "That's more than I ever was." Lael was poring over her bank book the blank pages in which so many dramas, tragedies and life histories could be written. Her first question was omnious: "Do I have to go all the way down to Broad street every time I want to draw off some money that was already to attack the integrity of her bank. "No, dearest," said Bayard, "there is an unborn branch, right around the bottom of the earth. It will be more for a put-in than takeout. Every time I give you anything else, you get a burp. Maybe some day we'll want to borrow some of it for a while. Maybe you use me from a crane home day. Anyhow, I don't want to feel that I have a little wife at home. A man has to plunge a good hole in my chest, usually makes him or breaks him." Bayard spoke with unusual science. "He's a man who has carried and strappeed a fo runs, Stippee earned and a shilling spent, bankruptty—or something like that. But Moses got ahead of him. When he handed down the Ten Commandments, he whipped an extra one to the priests' secret of the chosen people." "What was it?" said Leila with minimum of interest. "Thou shalt not spend all thou earest," said Richard. "It was—well, it was the Seventh Commandment, guess—a only unlucky one to break The Jews have kept it pretty well. They've been the bankers of the world even while they were persecuted." Lella shrugged her hands shoulder and studied the gems. "No, not all that. It tonight. Left her to watch, and go to the theater. I want to show off my new splendor." "Fine!" said Bayard, trying to stay bare, and lifted himself by his own boot straps. "Get on your dudson妈, and Daphne." "I can't go," said Daphne. "I've got to be at the fun-fair at half past noon. I've hardly time to eat anything." While Lella and Bayard and Mrs Kip were putting on their feral robes Lella was eating alone a hard meal up tacily from the restaurant. Before they were dressed she had to march out in what she called her horse, and she called her a bat, but she shook her She Found Batterson Quarrelling With a Property Man Over the Responsibility for a Broken Vase. head. Her humble not twenty-five dollars a week would not justify a charlot to and from the shop. She would be rapidly along Fifth-string street, but not rapidly enough to escape one or two murmurous gallants. She found Batterton quarring with a property man over the responsibility for a broken vase. He ignored her tilt at length she ventured to stammer: "Here I am, Mr. Batterton." "I see. Well, sit down somewhere." Finding a seat no easy task. Every piece of furniture she selected once the object of the scene shattered its attack and she had to take flight. Members of the company strolled in, paused at the mailbox and went to the scene. Eventually Batterton found that all the company was on hand and in good health. He said to Daphne, "Everything is here and nobody sick, so you needn't stay after the curtain goes up." But she wanted to learn her trade, so she loitered about, feeling like an outsider. She looked at the company of the company came from their larva, looking odd and unreal in their paint. They seemed to be surprised that she was not a company, gave her a curious smile of greeting. She heard the boy crying "Overture" about the corridors. She heard the sound of the piece. Then it struck up a march that sounded remote and irrelevant. She pushed her arm up and posed to be the curtain going up. An actor and an actress in white flannels with tennis rackets under their arms came to the stage with light. They banded repartee for a time. She spoke earnestly to Mrs. Vining, suddenly began to laugh softly. SEEM TO HAVE HIDING PLACE Just Where Do Facts Go That One Knows, Temporarily Forgets and Afterward Remembers? One of the odd things about what we call loss of memory is that it is catching. How often have you known that he will know what to do him his companion, to whom it is equally well known, forget it, why is that? The one I did I had an excellent example of this odd epileptic. It was necessary for the nausea of a certain actor—not a star, but a variability of the brain, to be recalled in order that a letter to him might quickly be dispatched. I had forgotten his name, but I deceived him. I had sufficient accuracy for every one (there were about six of us) to recognize him. Some of us could even say that he was very good at compare notes as to his excellence, and yet his name absolutely eluded one and all. Why? We all knew it; we did we unanimously fall to know. We parted intent upon obtaining this necessary information. On meeting him, he put it enough, and it had broken upon each, more or less suddenly, during the moment that we met to it, is where the things one forgets, but suddenly will remember again, while one is forgetting them. Where are they when their capacity to hide Olen plunged into the light. A little later Eldon cause off the stage laughing. He dropped his laughing arm and summed his anecdote. "As I was saying—" "But Mrs. Vining interrupted; I summoned my one. How are They tonight?" "Rather cold, said Eldon; 'Is it so hot," "so revil!' said Mrs. Vining. Then she shook her outskirts, straightened up and swept through the door like a dowager swan. One of the box lights began to spontaneously dangle around from the other side, and charged. He ran into Daphne, glared, and spoke harshly: "You needn't wait any longer." Daphne swallowed her pride and shunk out. CHAPTER XI. She woke early next morning. He was just six o'clock. She remembered that she had two hours. She decided that it would be a pleasant duty to surprise the poor, old, neglected cat by meeting him. He the Grand Central station Daphné found that she was nearly an hour too early for the train. He anumed the door and walked into the counter, to clamber on the high stool and eat the dishes of haste—a cup of coffee and a ham sandwich. It was pleasant to wander about alone in the busy urban trains, like feed pipes, spouting streams of workers, the out-bound trains drawing their passengers to faraway places. At length it was time for the train. Daphné went to the rope barrier opposite the door or entry and waited for it. At length she made out a rather shabby man carrying his own luggage, and seeder and she remembered. He did not expect to be met. He was looking idly at the new station. He had not been to New York since it had She ran to him. He dropped his old suitcase on the toes of the man following him and embraced Daphne with his hand. He then withdrew and kissed her again and fold her that she was prettier than ever. All about them there were little groups embraceted in the room. She was a wonderful business in reunions. When her father said, "I haven't had my breakfast; have you?" she lied affectionately, "No." She had some breakfast together. "Fine," said Daphne. "We'll go to the Biltmore." She was expensive, isn't it?" he asked anxiously. "It's my treat," she said. "This amused him enormously. "So you're going to treat, eh, eh?" "Where did you get all the money?" "I'm a working lady now." "He hagged again and shook his head." "What did you mean by saying you were a working lady?" said Wesley when they were seated at the table and he mother wrote me something about having a little disagreement with you. He thought I'd better run on to see if I couldn't sort of smooth things over. I'm glad you came to meet me. We thought I'd better repurpose for once. Tell me all about it. She told him the whole story of her decision to join the great social revival of the 1920s, the slavery of enslaving the men. Her persecution was her new watchword. "I don't want to take any more money from 'Why, honey,' he protested, "I love to give it to you. I only wish I had ten times as much. I couldn't dream of that." What's that young Wimborne cub med by letting you work?" He bitterly opposed to it, so I gave him a hug. At last Daphne gets the chance that she has hoped for and at the same time has dreaded—the chance to gain a place that will give her the independent-ness she did with the great chance when it came is told in the next installment. and elude, distresses me far more than my inability to call them from home. I am not sure they, perhaps, not there at all? Do they not, perhaps, have evenings, times off for lunch and so forth, and perhaps, not there at all? Do they can there perhaps be some vast extra-temporary territory of the memory from which facts have to be obtained—as, for example, the fact that one must wait until the volumes can be secured?

Four prizes will be awarded to the successful contestants at the LINCOLN THEATRE, TUESDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 2, 1919. First Price—a $5 gold piece. Second prize—$3 in cash.

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 "Righteousness and healthfulness exalteh 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 a campaign and the success of this one will mean larger prizes next year. The incessant rains 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 citiyenry. CONDITIONS OF THE CONTEST 1.

Ump-huh! Had you ever stopped to consider what was necessary to develop the giant sentinels of the syvlan regions, whose stateliness, grand-ear and massiveness fill one with inspiration, aspiration and ambition. Let us consider the two kinds of trees. The oak grows best amidst conditions that are destructive and obstructive to the shrub. The oak grows best amidst conditions obstructive to the shrub. The oak's growth and strength are do of rain, sunshine and wind. It can no there is no opposition. On the other hand the shrub can not grows best amidst conditions that are destroys to the shrub. its growth and strength are determined by the machine and wind. It can not grow and the opposition. other hand the shrub can not exist in the fa The oak's growth and strength are determined by the amount of rain, sunshine and wind. It can not grow and thrive where there is no opposition. On the other hand the shrub can not exist in the fact of such conditions and must go the line of least resistance. It dodges opposition; it refuses to look the sun in the face; it seeks every opportunity to blame its form and develop on other sources and curiously bows and performs the "squatting set" to every supposed and reputed sylvan superior. The oak inspires respect and compels recognition by its real, not reputed worth; while the shrub begets contempt because of its placating, pussy-footing and pusillanimous policy. Did you ever see these two counterparts in the human family? Ever see men who grow great and become powerful and influential despite fierce and stubborn opposition, the continual employment of the hammer by the knockers' league, the pernicious plans on death devices of petty and pseudo politicians and pseudo-leaders? Have you seen men who were born with a "silver spoon in their mouth;" who had all the advantages and opportunities possible and then failed to expand or make progress in harmony with their opportunities, stay abreast of the times or make a success in life? Perhaps as many, or more, of these human shrubs can be located than the sylvan kind. Nature abounds on all sides in wonderful lessons to mankind if we have the perfect eyes to see them and put the lessons thus learned into execution. No race has ever amounted to a hill of beans that had no opposition; the "harder the cross the brighter the crown." But like the sturdy and stately oak, enwired by other sylvan comrades and neighbors, there must be some consistency and constancy connected with said growth and development, lest instead of being a shrub one will "peter out" into a mushroom. The colored race should learn a lesson from the oak and resolve to grow bigger, taller, grander, and larger than the face of counterfeit goods. The efforts of others to hold the race down and retain it in the shrub stage and state. Without impiling the life of other trees or engendering any sylvan prejudice, animosity or antagonism, the oak simply attends to its own business and by adhering to the proper rules, regulations and codes of the forest it outstrips and surpasses all the trees and is sought by woodchoppers when in quest of first-class wood. The poor, insignificant and downtoldden shrub, which shunned the rain, sunshine, and the disturbances of the elements, becomes the kindler stage, the family stage, succumbs, falling a victim to the physical law of the "survival of the fittest," and in its demise is unmourned, unwep and unsung. The Great Teacher said that it was unnecessary that these things (trials, tribulations, et cetera), come, but "woe be unto him by whom they come." This is no defense of racial prejudice, discrimination, segregation, disfranchisement, mob-violence or other hellish and Hummingbird-like crimes. But it is an exhortation for us to grow and expand despite these damnable, dastardly, despicable and diabolical deeds and doines. There is a place in the sun for the colored race and if we will get up "spunk" enough to co-ordinate and solidify our forces; practice teamwork, racial unity and oneness; think more in terms of the environment; and be willing to work out aedition (stop expecting a miraculous deliverance either from above or below); employ some of the means at our disposal for making and maintaining our status better in this country—like the matchless and marvelous oak, there is no force extant or latent that can be used to progress. Do you want to be an oak or an oak? Kory Durrell, a colored man, was given 99 years in the state penitentiary Monday by a Harris County jury for alleged criminal assault upon a white woman in Houston Harbor Addition, the crime being committed last week. In less than one week the criminal was apprehended, indicted and convicted, which refutes and disproves the usual charge that courts will not mete out swift justice in such cases. This dispatch of justice removed any necessity for mob-violence or lynch law or any mobocratic manifestation or demonstration. May it not be said to the credit of Houston that no such spirit was rife here? The court officials and authorities deserve commendation for the excellent manner in which they handled the Durell case. The court is the only legally authorized, civilized and Christianized instrumentality for exacting and meting out justice to the accused, and the only successful stratification of mobocratic "kultur" strikes a fatal blow at such agencies and institutions and undermines the very foundation of our reputed democratic form of government. With the courts and processes of law in the hands of white judges, white prosecuting attorneys, white jurors, white newspaper reporters and white spectators, there is not a possible way to be accused of any crime (especially where the two races are involved) failing to get all that is coming to him and a little bit more. Lynch law does not decrease crime; but on the other hand increases lawlessness and disregard for law and order. It is planting the seed of hate, prejudice, destruction and violence in the breasts of thousands of Americans and can but operate successfully and successful and cordial relations and public welfare generally. Give the courts a chance to function; destroy the lyncher's rope; extinguish the torch of arson; blot out the spirit of mobocracy; institute real democracy over here and let American reign supreme—then will racial clashes be reduced to a minimum, if not eliminated. What the Houston court did in the Durell case other Southern and Northern communities can do, for LYNCH LAW MUST GO! RAMBLINGS OF CIMBEF: While rambling down Travis Street last Saturday morning with my mime full of thoughts, some of them running like this: When will that booster democracy which my son crossed the Atlantic from, like many of our son did, reach side of the A in a tall car for, like many of our son found myself in front of the Econom Club shopping. 313-5 Travis Street owned and operated by Messrs. Cohen Kaplan who gave me a week, and who read my ramblings on our last issue. Anyway, I came to a hair in front of this big store and just naturally, from a force of habit, began to do some window shopping. Ank I从 me there went again, gains to select from, but since my exchequer was very ill, I had about decided to on down further but Mr. Cohen, himself, and greeted me with these few kind words: "I'm an American too who was nothin for me to do but but I really did. Taking me by the arm with me, with the arm must be your birtish and I'm goum to make you some happy," and believe me the did. When I walked out again DRAMATICAL ASSOCIATION STAGE "GLITTLE COLOUR While rambling down Travis Street I left behind me those old shoes, hat, last Saturday morning with my mind and clothes, and was all dug up in full of thoughts, some of them running a tropical worsed suit, like this: When will that boasted low cut shoes (No. 9a).

As I was saying, I came to a hair cooking. He sure has some good in front of this big store and just chef back in that Kitchen. I ran off naturally, from a force of habit, began from town. Saturday afternoon, I came to the kitchen and took a look at what I take from it me there were some bar known, and passed by Caucil Walls gains to select from, but since my son's place out of McKinney and St. exchequer was very slim, I had about Charlie and he spied me and yelled, "Hey, you know what I did when who should step out of the store two of my special cold drinks." Now, but Mr. Cohen, himself, and greeted I just got to call a hat on these good me with these few kind words: "in't folks be as big as old Hickman?"

DRAMATICAL ASSOCIATION TO STAGE "GLITTERING SWORDS," COLORED MILITARY DRAMA "Gittering Swords," one of the first military dramas ever written by a colored writer, having as its slogan "help make the world a decent place to live in," is being prepared for real life. It will be part of the Advancement of Negro Art and Literature and will be staged at the City Auditorium. The play which involves 25,000 characters for a screen, production, vividly portrays the colored man's connection to the world, that he is worthy of charge in the long-promised democracy. It expresses the hidden and innermost feelings of the African-American the supreme interest he takes in all efforts for the welfare of his country. It is truly the first play ever written by a black writer. It has undivided friendship to the United States. Lilian Miller is directing the drama, while Lieutenant Hodges, who has had three years of dramatic training, makes a scientific instructor for the stage. The advancement will stage this drama to simulate this kind of talent and to demonstrate the ability of the black The literature of a nation or race reveals its innermost thoughts, deepest yearnings and this last idea. If this is true, it is necessary that the race resort to the unbounded pressure of its total volume in delivering its ideas. It has this last idea. If the race has its entire strength concentrated upon two thins: the production of Negro art and literate erection of an organization for the production of Negro art and literate art and literature a supreme minister unto the world.

UNCLE SAM ASKES BUSINESS MEN TO ADVERTISING The United States Department of Labor has launched an advertising campaign to promote more local and national advertising among the business and commercial organizations of the country, in order to stimulate business and bring it back to "it's pre-war status." The following letter is the departant's meant and object: "It is the desire of the department of labor to stimulate business by suggesting to present advertisers that they increase their space, and to prospective advertisers that they bring their plans to a head and start advertising immediately." 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 real advertising and more national advertising, and we believe the press of the country and yourselves will appreciate the fostered investment by the department of labor."
