AMERICA'S GREAT FINANCIAL PUBLICATION DRAWS PARALLEL ON NEGRO-IRISH QUESTIONS NEW FRATERNAL PETER OGDEN'S INSURANCE COMPANY NATAL DAY HONORED GRANTED A PERMIT BY LOCAL LODGES HOUSTON'S LEADING AND BEST EDITED RACE NEWSPAPER AMERICA'S GREAT PUBLICATION DE ON NEGRO-IRI (By Associated Negro Press.) New York.—The Wall Street Journal, the greatest and most influential financial publication in the country, draws the "deadly parallel," in discussing the Negro and Irish questions. It says: "With no intention of comparing the supersensitive Jrishman to the Negro, but to draw an instructive international parallel, it is necessary to supplement the merely business com-munity made in these columns on the attempt to raise money for Irish propaganda by means of receipts for subscriptions improperly and deceptively called 'bonds.' That our immense present strength in the world protects us from British resentment of what is nevertheless an offense to the community, good feeling goes without question." "But let us imagine a close parallel. Let us suppose the Negroes of the former slave states, intelligently and unscrupulously led, resented the failure to enforce the 19th Amendment to the constitution. Let us suppose that they formed a party for agitation, at home and abroad. Let us further assume that they kept the loyal white minority in constant costly uncertainty and alarm. Let us suppose that they called for the petitionation a republic and sent representatives to stir up feeling in England against the American government. "Substituting, purely for supposition of course, 'Negro' for 'Nationalist', these delegates in England would be NEW FRATERNAL INSURANCE COMPANY GRANTED A PERMIT The Modern Americans, a fraternal benefit society under the insurance laws of Texas in Houston February 20, 1919, has received a permanent certificate and bank, under the insurance law of February 24, 1920, a department of banking and insurance at Austin. The modern features of its policy and features connected therewith place it in a high niche among the fraternal insurance organizations today. It combines the fraternal, old line and industrial features in one policy. The early maturity of its policies, adequate rates and cash payment at the age of 70 years, together with cash equities, surrever values, etc., substantially place it in the forefront of institutions the leading officals are: F.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER substantially in the same position as DeValera and his following now occupy in the United States. There would be exactly the same appeal to DeValera and his following now occupy in America, there are colored races presumably in sympathy with our Negroes, greatly outnumbering them even as our Irish are said to outnumber the present inhabitants of Ireland. Exactly as the Irish agitator here pleads the Ulsterman, a convinced supporter of British rule, should be ignored because of a voting minority, so the Negro agitator in Britain might demand that the white minority of the population of the former Confederate states be allowed to process of what he would undoubtedly call, like Mr. DeValera, "self-determination." "It would be abused also to tell the Englishman that he was unable to understand a purely domestic problem, but he was not senious. Not only could he tell us, with considerable truth that he had been successfully governing colored races before we were weaned. He would only need to point to the all-pervading red on the map of the world to prove his law no such Negro bond issue could even be offered to the public. Under British good faith such an issue would not be tolerated even if it were legal. Fortunately we are in no danger. But there is an old parable about a mote and a beam that would not work in our international relations." PETER OGDEN'S NATAL DAY HONORED BY LOCAL LODGES Tuesday night will long be remembered by the Odd Fellow House of Ruth and their friends, who celebrated the birthday anniversary of Peter Ogden, founder of the order. An excellent program, followed by a swell spread, constituted the evening's prologue. James M. E. Church, corner Wilson and Andrews streets, and the capacity of the house was taxed. The following program was executed: Song, "America," audience; lecture, "The American Dream," welcome address, Perry Mack; response, Mrs. H. P. Harmon; ode, members; oration, "Peter Ogden," Pastor W. D. Lewis; duet, Mrs. Ade Dorswell and Miss Jill Hicks; violin performance, Mrs. H. H. Hart; and Miss Orella Reeves; song, choir.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATRUDAY, MARCH 6, 1920. Leonard Wood For President His reception was in marked contrast to that accorded Governor Lowden of Illinois, also a presidential aspirant, who has close connections with the millionaire Pullmans who instituted the Pullman car system and made millions from it. Leonard Wood undoubtedly is the right candidate for the colored people of America, at least as far as one can gather from the way the Lincoln delegates, from all over the country, received him. St. Louis, Mo.—The effort of Congressman L. C. Dyer to have a resolution passed at the 12th congressional district convention endorsing Governor Lowden was frustrated by the alertness of J. E. Mitchell, editor of the St. Louis Argus, one of the most prominent newspapers in this section. Editor Mitchell protested against the endorsement on the ground that Gov. Lowden had not "acted with the spirit of Charles Banks Redeems Mound Bayou Special to The Informer Chicago, Ill.—Every member annual convention of the Lincoln 12 is still talking about the Major General Leonard Wood be it. It was one of the frankest public man on the problems congeny of America that has ever impressed every delegate with the real Wood, despite his candidacy nomination, was not making his poses, as has often been the case a sincere desire to see justice do that he may be chosen to govern.

Negroes everywhere will read news with unusual interest and racial pride. All of this magnificent progress in bringing these things to pass, especially with reference to the financial leadership of the man that Dr. Booker T. Washington, said in his book, was the exponent and embodiment of real financial genius. We refer to the Hon. Ch. 8. Banks. Banks has shown remarkable constructive ability and foreignMany, who their heads in doubt, many turned their backs to him, many went away in utter discouragement, but he never for one moment faltered, but with that faith that is to be found only in the bosom of leaders Divinely sent, and inspired, fought on to the goal which meant the complete and permanent rehabilitation of this great Negro center. It is very hard indeed for the public at large to realize what a task responded upon this man. The bank which for numbers of years had been the backbone went down in the depression of 191314, the large oil mill, was the pride of every Negro, was seriously retarded and (Publicity Department) Editor Mitchell was one of the delegates who attended the Lincoln League convention in Chicago, and had an opportunity to compare Gov. Lowden and Leonard Wood at first hand. He was frank to admit that Lowden side-stepped the important issues, and General Wood spoke out on them like a real American. Chicago.—There has been much rejoicing among the colored people of Chicago and other parts of Illinois, since Col. William Cooper Proctor, manager of the Leonard Wood campaign for president, has announced that General Wood will enter the primaries in a contest for delegates to the national convention. There are thousands of voters of this section who have longed for an opportunity to vote their preference for Leonard Wood, because they know where he stands. The Illinois fight will be watched by the entire country, and will doubtless be a big surprise to those who underestimate Leonard Wood's popularity. Houston, Texas.—There has been considerable interest manifested this week in the recent editorial appearing in the Houston Informer, under the caption "Americanism the Dominant Issue." The editorial says in part "The recent national session of the Lincoln League of America, which met in Chicago, was addressed by four noted republican leaders; two presidential aspirants, the national chairman and the mayor of the Windy City. "Three of these distinguished citizens, General Leonard Wood, Hon. Will H. Hays and Mayor William Hale Thompson did not mince words in making Americanism the dominant issue before the citizens of this country at present. They stand for law and order and the rendering and maintaining of America safe for all its citizens." Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support hearts and minds of generations yet unborn. Those are the acts that attract the attention, these are the types that so cure the telling support of thoughtful America, be they black or white hence Banks is in great demand now and is called in by many whites and Negroes to tell their numerous labor troubles, and without running away to the North to say it, he tells the white plains in words to be not to mistaken Negroes to tell their Negro should be dealt with, and past methods will never be tolerated by the new Negro who is now upon the scene. It seems to the writer that we need more Negroes of this type who are unselfish, who though they are not Negroes, the atmosphere of sweet humanity is this so true of this man, for any humble man or woman can see him at any time during the day. None go in but what come out of his office with their burdens lifted and a bread or hope, a newer determination to live and have them. We have them. In this beautiful and constructive atmosphere, Charles Banks breathes and works, not to be ministered unto, but to minister each day to those fortunate than he. In this he finds his great happiness he will find his great reward best. C. F.

New Orleans, La.—Indications point to the fact that Leonard Wood will have the entire Louisiana delegation in the national convention. Walter L. Cohen, who has been a close and careful observer of the political trend of events, has returned from Chicago, where he heard Leonard Wood speak, filled with enthusiasm for the great administrator. Mr. A. Wash, who has just returned from his run to Kansas City, Mo. came by and subscribed for The Informer and stated that the people are wild about the paper wherever it goes. GENERAL WOOD CHIEF CAUSE OF COLONIAL BY EDGAR G. BROWN. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 1, 1920. The immortal Lincoln was the first great American to deal justly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advance as full-fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored brother when he stood for a square deal to all men regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up a howl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in His wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American to lead His people. You know we need not be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying: "Today the important thing is law and order. There is no group that stands for law and IT GET'S YOU TOLD NOTHING ELSE So PER GOPY BON, Editor-Publisher PIRANTS ARE QUESTIONNAIRES; TO PRINT REPLIES Association for the Advancement of the New York, announces that a very many prominent mentioned him to state his views on a situation in the United States.

Chicago.—Announcement is made that within the next month there will be issued an edition of the most unusual magazine ever produced by our racial group. The name of the magazine is "Tomorrow" and it will have features dealing with the racial conditions of the present time such as they have not been treated anywhere else in the land. Claude A. Barnett is director and Nahum Daniel Braschel is editor-in-chief. The magazine is entirely independent of the Associated Negro Press. HAMPIONS LORED AMERICANS order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation, we should have a free and untrammeled United States." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question can not expect the colored vote. General Wood will be the next great republican leader if two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it. "A second Teddy, folks! a second Teddy." Any man or woman 21 years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Indiana, for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for colored men and women to prove General Wood that they want a man for president who will give American, black or white, a square deal.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 GENERAL LEONARD WOOD'S CANDIDACY The Informer has been reluctant to endorse any of the present aspirants for the republican presidential nomination, not because of political cowardice, but because we wanted to see and hear their views on the questions of the day. Having heard the leading aspirants for the nomination express themselves on the issues, and taking into consideration their past performances and future promises, The Informer candidly believes that General Leonard Wood is the best man for the place of any of the avowed aspirants. In endorsing the candidacy of General Wood, The Informer is not a supporter and booster merely because of his past associations with the lamented Theodore Roosevelt, the foremost American and world-citizen of his day and generation; but because he is an ardent advocate and earnest espouser of the fundamental principles of genuine democracy and honest-to-government Americanism; because he believes in law and order; in a rigid and strict adherence to the constitution; in distributing our war debt over a number of years; in a reduction of expenses in conducting our national government; in efficient business methods rather than in politics of a cheap and petty nature; in a readjustment of our internal affairs so that the old ship of state can function once more with the least amount of friction. In short, Leonard Wood stands four-square for "making America safe for Americans" and he does not mince words in making his attitude known to the American electorate. His executive and administrative ability was thoroughly demonstrated as governor-general of Cuba, where he abolished profiteering, stimulated and encouraged business, re-established and rehabilitated agriculture, organized, equipped and maintained hospitals, fed and clothed thousands of natives in a most business-like manner. All these things were accomplished when the Cubans were impoverished and starving. This period of reconstruction will be met fairly and squarely by General Wood, whose administration in Cuba was immediately following the Spanish-American war—a reconstruction period. Cities were rebuilt, schools established, roads opened, taxation system readjusted and revised, courts and legal tribunals reorganized, ample provisions made for countless orphan children rendered thus by war and famine. He had the election laws re-written, established law and order, protection of life and property, and liberty within the law, America's chief needs during this crucial stage of our national and international career. When he left Cuba, it had a reorganized and sound banking system, an excellent railroad system, nearly $2,000,000 unincumbered in the treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 2,000,000,000 pounds, sound municipal laws, fine public works, farm foundation and an absolute respect among the populace for life and property. The Cuban republic, built upon firm democratic foundations, stands as an everlasting and enduring monument to the administrative and executive ability of General Leonard Wood. Leonard Wood senses the imperative needs of the hour and has both the courage and convictions to come out flat-footedly and Walinger LEONARD WOODS unequivocally on the grave political-econ- ing our republic. Of the men whose hats are in the ring of General Wood, at this stage of the game proper man to be nominated at the repu- tion be held in Chicago, June, 1920. It is going to require the services of an not a mollycoddle and theoretical exponent to deal justly, firmly, unflinchingly and successfully with our post-bellum problem on the presidential horizon than Leonard successful physician-soldier, administrate- ne American. The Informer favors General Wood and and unselfishly for his nomination and a unequivocally on the grave political-economic problems confronting our republic. Of the men whose hats are in the ring in the "grand old party," General Wood, at this stage of the game, is both the logical and proper man to be nominated at the republican national convention to be held in Chicago, Ill., June 8, 1920. It is going to require the services of an able and astute man—not a mollycoddle and theoretical exponent of political economy—to deal justly, firmly, unflinchingly and to cope adequately and successfully with our post-bellum problems, and no better man is on the presidential horizon than Leonard Wood—the statesman, successful physician-soldier, administrator, executive and genuine American. The Informer favors General Wood and shall work unitingly and unselfishly for his nomination and election. Harrisburg Happenings.

HURLER RUTH TELLS SECRET OF BATTING Home Run King Says "Keep Your Eye on the Ball." New York Yankees' Newly Acquired Pitcher and Outfielder Tries to Follow Advice Given Him by Veteran Player. "Keep your eye on the ball!" sounds like golf, but Babe Ruth II was speaking about baseball, Babe, who was recently purchased by the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox in the field. He doesn't believe in trying to score base hits with his chin, but once every in a while he can be perplexed by the international league, and when he does he generally knocks a couple of verbal home runs. The all-important question for Ruth to answer is "What is the secret of successful batting?" It was in reply that Ruth unsethesitatingly "When a pitcher is preparing to de- river a ball try to guess what he de- tends to throw, a curve or a fast one." "When a pitcher is making up your mind he is going to throw a curve do not be too sure of it. Always remember the pitcher is also trying to outgress the butter. That is part of a pitcher's skill to make sure he takes your eye off it. If you do you are gone. Watch it all the way. Watch it as it breaks and watch it as you start your swing. The batter who watches the ball out of the way will be better off if the pitcher comes a good hitter for if the pitcher HENRY L. BIDENNIE is throwing a curve it seldom breaks until it is within a few feet of the floor. It is almost impossible to tell whether the curve or not until the actual break occurs. For this reason it is necessary for a batter never to take his eye off the ball. A younger just begging to play any real ball is a veteran player impressed upon the necessity of keeping my eye on the ball and I have never forgotten with me, and yet I never step to the plate that the warning "Keep your eye on the ball, does not flash through my mind" to keeping his eye on the ball the batter must be hit with a fire and easy swing. Getting started quickly forward first base is something that demands close attention. Many a batter has to learn to throw from the plate and many a base hit has been made by getting away quickly. "There are many more things about bating, but these are the chief things to remember and practice." BASEBALL STORIES Jack Dunn is looking for another big season. Harvard has eight veteran players for this year's nine. Rabe Rhith can play first base for the Yankees if anything happens to Wallee Pipp. The Salt Lake City club is said to be angling for the services of Catcher Walter Mayer. A long spring interleague series of 1920 will be played by the Macken and Cardinals. Several of the big minor league clubs will have as long training trips as the majors in the South. Club owners of the Western Canada league have decided to raise admission prices to 35 and 50 cents. Looks as if the bobster movement was hit baseball with the Reds and Yankees holding out for bigger sports career almost to a man. By CECILLE LANGDON (Copyright 1929, Western Newspaper Union) "I'm all up in the air!" muttered Iram Scripts in a dazed way. "Don't say that, urged his friend, Robert Wade." Think man, friend Robert Wade. "I'll get to come back to you again." Think? repeated Iram hirglady. "I've done nothing else but think ever since that happened," and he pointed at the burned down shed at the rear of the lot. It was the model of my great invention working like a charm, to have a big capitalist offer a for a car. "Cheer up, old friend," consoled Wade. "You needn't tell me that a man of your genius and ability won't to make over what you once made." I am, all but the little jigger that was the soul of the whole device," replied Iram. "It simply won't come to me." Iram hirglady simply kidding wood. Oh! I am not mourning the loss of a fortune. I miss Thetis' Iram freemaking about. "That's bad, bad Iram," observed Wade. The yell was directed at Hiram. It started him out of his preoccupation, but he did not move quickly enough to evade a bunch of trailing roops. One of them, a balloon, tightened, and he was lifted from himself. Then shoft he went. Wade was dead, horrified. The chase continued on the ground shouted wily to the operator, but up like an arrow, fairly one hundred feet, shot Hiram. Later, when questioned as to his uncle's death, Hiram Scripps answered that such a fear as never occurred to him. He declared that the sensation was one of exhilarating buoyancy. His mental seclusion re-emerged, and he flashed there came to him, clear, remembrance of the part of his machine that he had so valiant sought to turn. The startled balloonist turned a valve and to descent. As Hiram's feet struck the top of a roof the rope shucked and he let go of it. The balloon aawed free of it. The ground down the roof and struck the ground with a shock. "Oh, he's killed!" grinned Wade, as Hiram lysensible. "A get doctor, A physician happened to be on the grounds. He hurried to the spot. He broke the neck, but no bones broken, he reported. Then just Heim branched his eyes. A glorious smile illuminated his face. In another moment he relapsed into the brain, "no one concession until he shouted out urtapestly: "A concentric shaft and two hatchures—hurrah" "bone—concession of the brain," pronounced the physician dolefully: "Give him quick. It was several hours later when Heim opened his eyes. He immediately moved to nurse—Miss Miranda Tillets and her married sister. And, oh, Junet!" the former was sobbing, "what if his brilliant mind never recovered?" And oh! I love him, so if he was a more burglar I would work and die for him, if needed." "You say that, you love sweetest of all womankind!" cried out Him, stirring the lady by lifting upright. "I am a woman of Miranda's. Miranda is the golden luck. A concentric hair and two hatchures—Hurrah!" "Oh, my dear!—my dear!" pleased Miranda, breaking down utterly, "for Miranda's golden luck." "Ravings? a fairly shouted Iliam, "Why, that means that I remember you, and I remember my memory. Up in the air no longer, my defiance I can lift the weight of my heart.
