Houston Informer

BOOST GREEN-M'CARTHY AS G. O. P. DELEGATES LEADERS OF "LILY-WHITE" MOVEMENT REPUDIATED "Republican Council's" Jim-Crowism--- Will Colored Voters Stand For Such? HOUSTON'S LEADING AND BEST EDITED RAGE NEWSPAPER VOL. 1 NO. 43. BOOST LEADER "Republican The Informer took no stock in boosting or attending the "jim-crow" republican pow-wows or meetings held at colored Carnegie Library Thursday afternoon, March 4, and at Main Street Auditorium that night, when National Committeeman H. F. MacGregor, County Chairman Roy B. Nichols, R. B. Creager of Brownville and others of the leaders in the "illy-white movement in the Texas republican party brought Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio to Texas to boost his candidacy for the republican presidential nomination. While not agreeing with the master of ceremonies, who introduced himself, the "colored brothers" as the "next president of the United States," In his brief remarks to the "colored brothers" at the MacGregor-Nichols-Creager "jim-crow" meeting, the senator kindly informed him not to address republicans in racial groups, and, after succinctly setting forth his views and assuring them of his genuine Americanism and stalwart republicanism, he kindly invited them to address republicans about principles as long as their mitts are greased, they are given a few empty honors, patted on the backs by these political hypocrites and dubbed "good哼ers". The Informer does not want to misunderstand; it is not condemning any republican or citizen who availed himself of the opportunity to hear Senator Harding; but it wants to voice its most strenuous objections to the continuation of this "jim-crow" MacGregor and his henchman. Any man, be he black, white, red or yellow, that places faithful lucre and empty honors above principles and civic righteousness should be denied his elective franchise rights. Any black man who is willing to submit and subscribe to the pernicious and perfidious prosecution of him, is announced and advocated by the "Republican Council," of which H. F. MacGregor is the chief elder, and which published broadcast to the world last fall eliminated the colored man eliminating the colored man from the republican councils in Texas and reducing him to political servitude—any black man who is unconscionable and conscientious embrace such deocrines and follow the leadership of such un-American and unrepublican political hysteria to republicate, a Judas Iscariot or a blankly fool. Republicanism knows neither color, class nor creed. It is op- THE HOUSTON INFORMER posed to class and caste prescription, either customary or legislative. This Houston "jim-crow" affair shows the real heart and caliber of the men in Texas who would destroy the party and reduce its voting strength and resultant power by excluding from its ranks and affairs American citizens who were unfortunate to vote in the dane sphere with dark skins, Shades of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. These reputed republicans show by their art and actions that they are not more business in the republican organization, as the party is now constituted, than an orang-utang has in the halls of congress. MacGregor and his "illy-white" adherents and devotees read what National The views of Mr. Hays and Mr. MacGregor are as fundamentally different as day is from night, and the differences lie in and believes in and is working hard for a party and government of, and by the people; while the latter and his cohorts, mostly working with might and main for a party and government of, and for by A PEOPLE. The latter is both Christian, American, republican and democratic, in the larger sense of the last term employed while the "hily-ly" program, Christian, un-American, unrepublican, is autocratic, aristocratic, plutocratic, mobocratic, "hellocritic" and diametrically at vane-declaration of Independence of the American republic. The "lily-white" propagan- HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATRUDAY, MARCH 13, 1920. What is "iliy-whiteism"? It is a political bastard, born of illegitimate political parents. It is a species of political offspring of a political institution in star hotel chambers and in modious office quarters. It receives its greatest impetus and largest encouragement from the republican nor democratic; who believe that a white skin is a badge of honor and superiority, and that a dark skin is a badge of dishonor and inferiority, who believe that when they assemble in a meeting with colored republicans they have been stained and polluted and are no longer worthy of the associations, confidence of their white comrades. There is a movement on foot in Texas to divest these enemies of the party and government of the state, and have abused the high offices they occupy, and a common decency and a desire to perpetuate the party principles, maintain the party's image, and keep its record untarnished and unblemished; and in order that, while America is being made safe for Americans, Texas will be made safe for colored republicans, and tried and tried white birthright for a mess of potage. toracity-aristocracy and make citizenship a matter of a social test, giving a most rigid examination for all applicants and an important test for favoring man rights for all, special privileges to none. They believe that the preachment of "all men up, no man down, man in the army, and man hands in the enemy who presh and contend for the principles enunciated by Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wood.

Every self-respecting, loyal and unpurchasable republican, both colored and white, must renounce the present "lily-wild" regime in control of the party affairs in Texas and must show how to defend the movement behind the movement, headed by Hon. Harry Beck of Dallas, to elect Coblene E. H. R. Green of Terrell and Hon. Ed McCarthy of Galveston as two of the four candidates for the large to the republican national convention, which meets in Chicago June 8, 1920. The other two delegates on the Green-McCarthy ticket will be colored republicans, the successful ones to win. The greatest amount of strength in pre-convention campaigns. Hon. William M. "Goose Nell Bill" McDonald of Foft Worth is the choice of all real republicans for one of those positions and will inform the Informer wants to put the colored republicans of South Texas on guard against the insidious propaganda of the MacGregor-Nichols henchmen, that the Green-McCarthy movement is simply for the purpose of placating the Texas G. Q. P. A more informal falsehood never fell from COLORED GEORGIANS SHOW BIG INCREASE IN THEIR HOLDINGS By the Associated Negro Press. Atlanta, Ga.—According to a tabulation of returns from all the counties, which was completed by Tax Clerk William R. Hairman, the office Negroes returned for taxes in 1919 $54,458,301, as against $47,458,301 in 1918. This represents an increase for the year to $7,434,852, or nearly 15 per cent. comparison of the various classes of the property returned with the returns of the preceding year is as follows: Farming land, $16,988,598; 1918, $13,808,598; city and property own, $13,808,598; estate. It will be noted that, while all the particular items enumerated show an increase with the exception of "money and solvent debts," the value of automobiles owned by the Negroes shows a decrease. Negroes show practically a double within the year. Colonel Green is a resident of Kaufman County, located in Central Texas, while Mr. McCarran is resident of Galveston County, located in southern portion of Texas. Can't you see their nifarious game? No, neighbor, this movement was launched for the express and avowed purpose of placing the publicists and electing delegates that believe in a representative republican party, and to rid Txas forever of the curse and blight of "hily-whiteism," which has reduced the voting strength of the publicists and 1868 to less than 13,000 in 1918. Colored voters, if you want a "going-out" party, then continue to support MacGregor and the "ily-white" organization; but if you want to grow-up, organization, rally to the standards of genuine and blood-bought republicans—men who refuse to flirt with disgruntled, discredited and disappointing publicists, a few measly votes, if they will "eliminate the Negro from the councils of the republican party." Texas' national committee man, H. F. MacGregor of Houston, is a stancher supporter of Lilac, a white party and a white "party" and openly declared in the recent state executive committee meeting held here that "A WILLING TO BE A REPUBLICAN $500,000 FOR A REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN IN THIS STATE." Are you willing to follow a lackey leadership, willing and ready to sell the barrel, for a price? God forbid! C. F. RICHARDSON, Editor-Publisher Galveston And Houston Are Scenes of Republican Rallies To Dislodge "Lily-White" Regime "The fight is on! The trumpet sound is ringing out; The cry, "To arms!" is heard from far and near; The Lord of hosts is leading on to victory, The triumph of the right will soon appear." A large, enthusiastic and patriotic audience, composed of both races, attended the big republican rally held in the Galveston City Auditorium Monday night, which formally launched the campaign for electing Col. E. H. R. Green of Kaufman County and Hon. Ed McCarthy of Galveston County as the two white delegates at large from Texas to the national republican convention, which meets in Chicago, June 8, 1920, to nominate the standard bearers for the G. O. P. in the autumn election. The chief speakers were Hons. drawn and the insidious program Harry Beck of Dallas and Wm. of National Committeeman H. F. Mc.

Galveston covered herself with glory, despite inclement weather. J u d g Wheeler presided, and Attorney A. G. Perkins had charge of the affair. The meeting was largely attended by white and colored republicans from all parts of Texas. Tuesday night the scene was shifted to Houston, and in the face of a continuous downpour of rain, the Carnegie Library was closed, and the most part with republican electors who are unaltered opposed to the attempt of the "illy-wild" regime to eliminate and ostrate the colored citizen from the party in Texas. Once more Messrs. Beck and McDonald set forth the claims of Green and McCarthy and played the star chamber "illy-wilde" movement to oust colored voters from party affairs and councils. In order to not be misquoted nor misrepresented, Mr. Beck read his statement on the situation amidst repeated cheers and applause, and, after finishing that part of his speech, he paid his respects to the men leading, aiding and abetting the "illy-wilde" propaganda and made an earnest and sincere plea for all republicans to support and vote for Green and McCarthy and to elect delegates instructed to "stand hitched" by these men and two colored delegates. Mr. McDonald, the political sage of Texas, and one of the most astute and resourceful political leaders in America, was given an ovation when introduced, and immediately launched into a discussion of the issues before both the Texas and American electorate. In an able and masterly manner he showed how the line of battle has been IT GETS YOU TOLD— NOTHING ELSE So PER COPY BOSSON, Editor-Publisher LEGATES INDIATED and Houston Area Republican Rallies "Y-White" Regime pet sound is ringing out; heard from far and near; on to victory, will soon appear." patriotic audience, composed of bith n rally held in the Galveston City formally launched the campaign of Kaufman County and Hon.

MacGregor, who originated the "hy-white" campaign in 1892, political henchmen and hangers-on. He reviewed the histories of bona-familias "fourteen points" ideology and vision, observed that the republican party can only be successful this year by selecting a candidate that measures up to the hour, its needs, demands, problems and issues. He urged colored voters to be stir themselves, go to the precinct conventions Saturday, May 1, 1920, in large numbers, both males and females, and elect delegates to the county conventions opposed to the present administration of G. O. P. affairs in Texas; delegates who will knock "illy-wilyism" into a "cocked hat" by landing it a solar plexus wallop from which this political bastard can not recover. Two notable features of both rallies were the large number of ministers and laboring men present. This is a happy sign and signals the advent of a new day in Texas republican ranks. Professional politicians, for years, drove these men from the party, but this is the year of jubilee, the ransomed are returning to the fold, and the republican electors are determined to rid Texas of MacGregor and his brand of "illy-wily" politics, and thus a solid front will be thrown up against the attack of these internal enemies. They must be put to rout, and only votes can turn the trick. Prof. E. O. Smith presided, and Hon. W. L. Davis, a candidate for delegate from this congressional district, delivered the opening address. Excepting a few who are hog-tied to MaeGregor for past favors, the colored republicans are firm in their position that Green and McCarthy must be elected as two delegates-at-large to the national republican convention, and to this end they have roiled up their sleeves and will fight to a bitter and successful conclusion all unAmerican and unrepublican policies and programs.

JOCKEY HANDLES AND RIDES HIS OWN NAGS JOCKEY HANDLES AND RIDES HIS OWN NAGS Incidentally He Is Oldest Rider at New Orleans Track. Usual Worry as to Who Will Pill Race Horses is Eliminated with Owner Tuillet, Who Performs That Task Himself. An unusual incident occurred at the Jefferson Park track at New Orleans the other day when a horse was struck. The fact that the horse won no feature. It is the jocky around which the interest revolves. "Owner H. Tuillet, Trusner H. Tuillet, Jockey H. Tuillet." These are the ways that "Ikey" Tuillet can be addressed. He is owning a horse that is the oldest jockey there. He is over the 40-year mark, and he expects to ride for a long time to come, he has a jockey in connection with him. Jink in connection with his sizable are for feed and incidentals, and he does not have to worry as to whether the "help" he is or not to perform their daily tasks. The usual worry of owners as to who will ride their horses is eliminated. He self-saves the jockey's fee thereby, and to his credit it must be said that he rides as good a race as many of the younger generation of jinkin "If 'Krys' stable is not a success it is nobody's fault but his own, and he has come to accept the capets outside mountains, as he rides for himself five or six times a week and he considers that he is not the only one of his age. Among his possessions now is Pritz, which raced with much success at the fair grounds in his car two-year-old-form NOTES of the DIAMOND NOTES of the DIAMOND Hank Gowdy wants more money to play with the Braves. Kid Gleason is hoping Urban Faber will show a return to his 1917 form. Joe Judge writes that he is keeping in good condition hunting in New England. Jim Thorpe, formerly of the Braves, is still ranting that he won't play in the minors. Jack Coombs will get the Detroit pitchers in condition if any one can do the job. Roger Keppinger expects to be a big factor in winning the 1920 pennant for the Yankas. The Phillies are站到 start for their training camp in Birmingham, Ala., on March 7. Coydon Dolan, former big leaguer, will boss the St. Joseph club of the Western league this year. Miller Huggers, manager of the Yankees, is ogosed to legislation doing away with freak deals. Tex Westerling, third baseman, will be field captain of the 1920 Portland Beavers in the Pacific Coast league. The Yankas are still accuring the majors for a sluggish outlay. They have only two nows in Ruth and Lewis. Eddie Ciccote will be the mantail of the White Sox pitcher again this season, in the opinion of Kid Gleason. The Yankees have such a big bqd of pitchers that Miller Huggins could lose a few of them and never notice it. New York fans would be tickled if I were Roger Horneribly to play third base against Haini Zimmerman. The industrial league promise to make it hard for the minors to grab players up to the standard of other years. Mike Melesko is figuring on having a big year with the Red Sox. He does so very well with the stick last season. Charles Riberg's reported decision to retire from baseball for the restu-nts does not be taken seriously in Chicago. The success of the Cleveland snub pitcher has led Tris Speer to look for more talent in the Cleveland semi-pro teams. Benny Kauff, of the Giants, says he is going to turn box manager. That is a new way to get money that is playing well.

Peculiar Currency System Would Seem to Have Some Disadvantages — Religious Rites Observed by Parties of Fishermen. The island of Yap isn't such a zap place, after all. After retrievers from the South Sea, returned fishermen from the island illuminating details of life on the queer little island which even President Wilson hadn't heard of until the Paris conference decided that they would come out of the war—and generously gave us Yap. If America's would-be carshands should use a "Sibera"—an suggested the other day by a senator, here are a big laugh for his ideas—here are some strong American customs with a Mayday insignia; personal would find in operation. Money as big as cartwheels "not only, but big as bigger wheels from two to twelve feet acquired!" Bachelor's club housed by the entire male population on certain occasions, women being entirely ex A social order, consisting of four castes—migrants, impoverished aristocrats, the poor and the poor. A religion that governs the god, Jok, who protects thieves and swindlers. A language that would delight a diplomat or a blushing man, having 60 different ways of aging "NA". The two great products of Yap are coconuts and typhoons. The typhoons are the most abundant and the coconuts. It is precisely in that quartet of the Pacific that the worst storms on earth are born, and the coconuts would delight the governor. Gold or silver money has no more value in Yap than holohevik rubs have here. The Yap have such faith in the weather that a coin can nobody lift. A small coin is a disk of granite two feet across and six inches thick, with a coin nobody lift. A large coin is two fathoms across and two feet thick. Rich people in Yap simply pile their money in the bank, which is the house, which saves them the trouble of showing off by elaborate dress or other indirect methods. It also gives full publicity to all cash For "chicken feed" they use large pairs of oyster shells and hundred-pound plates in a Yap church you have to use a moving car. Americans who foreign contend the fact that the word "Tap" originally meant "forgier." The early Yap were great traders and voyagers around the South seas. In other countries are great traders and Yap—the same old story. Today the Yap fish religiously. Before every fishing party the men are given a large stone machet, four days in the club houses, which are large stone machets. After the first successful catch, the women have to pull a ail at the fermented Juice of the green coconut. This is dubbed a religious rite, and the women have to pull a ail at the fermented Juice of the gods—an idea which should interest Americans who are still fond of little fishing parties. When a Tap gianteman lays Luk keeps other people from looking. If the thief gets caught him, simply decides that Luk must have been too late for Luk to hope and hopes for better Luk next time. For the rest of it, Tap is 35 miles long and five broad canals, each 1,000 feet high runs out of water whenever it fails to rain for a week. It has five smaller lands near it, grows yums and tropes and grows orchids. It has 10,000 some 10,000 names of the Malay race whose language, curiously enough, shows a bantle relation. It is very little bit of a Photography From the Air. In Tasmania photographic enterprise has taken on a new form. A Tasmanian photographer, determined to outside rivals in getting pictures of the city's picturesure state in commonwealth, chartered a recently imported airplane, went aloft, and obtained magnificent views. These pictures were also sold like bakes, and amply rewarded him for his enterprise. The cinematograph man will now be put upon his mette and the picture he showed their audiences moving scenic pictures of surprising range and beauty. In time pictures taken from the airplane will probably be used to instruct children in geography. The Undeleted Office Boy. "But did you get off once before? attend your grandmother's funeral?

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 "LILY-WHITE" PROGRAM ENDORSED. If any doubt exists in the minds of any republican voters, particularly of color, that National Committeeman H. F. MacGregor is not in hearty sympathy and accord with Texas' political bastard the "illy-white" contingent. The Informer herewith reproduces excerpts from a letter over the signature of said G. O. P. leader lining up with the foes within the party and enemies to straight-forward Americanism. This "Republican Council" publishes a weekly newspaper, known as the "Republican Counselor," and its chief counsel seems to be in advising the party leaders to segregate and eliminate colored republicans, establish an Anglo-Saxon organization exclusively in the party, and set up a federal pie counter and patronage brokerage. Some of their editorial observations, charges and vituperations sound more like the bosh, "bull" and buncombe dished out to the country by a well-known set of designing politicians and bourbon demagogues than anything emanating from real republicans. These political pigmies show their utter incapacity to cope with the problems and issues of the day, and, following the Southern custom, a la Vardaman-Tillman and their likey, they are vainly trying to inject the "race question" in the republican politics of Texas. They are sure to come to defeat and grief, and those supposedly within the party, who endorse, embrace and propagate their unAmerican and unrepublican policies are committing political suicide, as far as the republican party is concerned. If these "dissatisfied democrats" and "business republicans" do not want to come into or stay in the party with colored voters, why, they have our permission to launch a new party, and we hereby christen it the "Republican-Democratic Lily-White Party of Texas." Then they can proceed with their work of organization, exclusion, disfranchisement, segregation, jim-crowism and other un-American, unrepublican and undemocratic practices and customs and thus eliminate the "dark menace" from their midst. This is a free country; men can go barefooted or they can wear shoes; they can eat bread or they can feast on weeds; they can drink water or they can imbibe carbolic acid in copious quantities and thus rid society of one of its liabilities. Take the local G. O. P. situation in the recent special election and see how these republican leaders dogged the issue and refused to put a ticket in the field, when every indication, with three and four democrats, socialists and non-partisans in the race for the several positions, pointed to a successful republican ticket. The democrats were divided on their various candidates, and with republicans in the race, all the republican votes would have been centered on their candidates, and it looks like from this stage of the game that the G. O. P. pulled a "bonehead" in failing to take advantage of that situation. In Harris County alone over 3000 colored republicans have qualified to vote during 1920, while over 3000 ex-service men would augment the number to above 6000 votes for this county alone. This says nothing of the white republicans, "dissatisfied democrats" and colored republicans in Waller and Fort Bend counties. The senatorial candidate won the election with less than 5000 votes, and if the local republican party leaders had been anxious to show to the "powers that be" that they really count for something in this community; that they have the party's interest at heart, they would have taken advantage of the recent special election. It was the best opportunity the republicans of the Sixteenth senatorial and Fifteenth representative districts have ever presented them, and their failure to grasp opportunity by the forelock and win even a temporary advantage thoroughly demonstrates their incapacity for leadership and proves in a most convincing manner that they have whetted up their appetites for the spoils of seeming national republican victory and they don't give a rap about the peole. Bear this in mind, colored voters: Those in control of the party in Texas have about as much affinity (of a political nature) for the colored citizen as a Spanish bull has for a red flannel cloth. The sight of the latter invariably inflages and infuriates the former; so it is with the present Texas G. O. P. leaders, pseudo-leaders and lackeys. Read the letter from the commanding officer of the "lily white" regiment, better known as "Col." H. F. MacGregor: Houston, Texas, Nov. 28, 1919. "The Republican Council is an organization in the nature of a state club composed of white business men. Their aim is to get the business republicans and DISSATISFIED democrats to come into the party, and to build up the party in this state with the help of the money and the influence of these business men. I ENDORSE ITS AIMS. " its view, as expressed at the meeting, represents the consensus of opinion of the majority of that meeting. It does not express any individual view. " The race question seems always to bop up as soon as we try to build up the party. We have been getting along favorably and harmoniously for a good many years. The republican party in this state is controlled by white men, but representation was given to colored republicans at the national convention by electing a colored delegate-at-large, something that other states pretened to be fond of the colored people, do not do. " The colored people are not entitled to much credit in the state because they do not pay their poll taxes generally, have not voted the republican ticket and have not contributed to building up the party. I know of only two who have contributed in a number of years. (Signed) Make no mistake, colored voters, you have seen the policy and program of this infernal and infamous "Republican Council," as printed in the newspapers, and you see where the Texas leader, over his own signature, "endorses its aims" and casts an asperation upon our race, its present champions of human rights and liberty and our forebears who remained true and tried to the republican party in the South in the days that tried i and tested men's souls; when to publicly state that you were a republican meant violence. Where were MacGregor and his "illy-white" pussyfooters during those days? Where would they be today not those dear old patriots weathered and stood the opposition, endured trials and tribulations, and planted the seeds of republicanism and Americanism? Must the right to participate in the affairs of the republican party or any other party in "democratic America" be bought with a price? Was not the poll tax law enacted to disfranchise the colored voter and keep him in political and economic servitude? Is not said statute contrary to the constitution of this republic? Was it not prompted by prejudice and written in a spirit of hate, envy and vengeance? Was it not conceived in sin and shaped in iniquity? Who raised the "race question" in Texas, Mr. MacGregor? Did the colored republicans perform such an un-American and unrepublican stunt, or didn't your star chamber "illy-white" organization precipitate the present ugly situation in the Texas G. O. P.? Let Mr. MacGregor tell us the number of white republican voters in Texas. Let him tell how many of them vote in all city and county elections in their respective communities. Let him enlighten us on the number of qualified colored voters. From the above letter Texas' present G. O. P. chieftain considers the colored voter a nonentity and a liability to the party, and thus the "ily-white" attempt and oust to oust the "colored brother" from the party meets his most hearty approval and endorsement. He says so in his own letter, and yet there is a bunch of black jackets, cowards and mollycoddles going around here talking about "Col. MacGregor is right on the race question." If green is red, and if black is white, then "Col." MacGregor opposes raising the "race issue" in the republican party in Texas. Don't be deceived nor duped by this political clapstap and buncombe, but busy yourself and see that delegates are elected to the county, congressional and state republican conventions that will support the ticket led by Col. E. H. R. Green of Terrell and Hon. Ed McCarthy of Galveston. Both are men of large affairs, capable, honest, above reproach, and assets to the party. It is the duty of every free republican to back up and push over this ticket. Harrisburg Happenings. versary program. Welcome address in behalf of the church by Bro. Rich and Flemming; S. S.

SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWSPAPER A SOUTHERN WOMAN MAKES OBSERVATION TIRED OF BUNCOMBE By the Associated Negro Press. Baltimore, Md. — When it comes to upstanding, unquestioned propaganda of justice, a young white woman, who signs herself "Miss Critical Observer," put the following story in the right place, the Daily Baltimore American. Says "Miss Observer." "American white women for decades have been blindfolded and duped to the colored man. The colored man has been held up before our eyes as a lustful and vicious creature. As a consequence, great masses of us, through lack of individual experience, and because of ignorance of literature and statistics bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted and unfounded charge against the colored man as a class. But the undeniable rock-bottom truth is that Negro men are no more prone to commit heinous crimes against women than are other men. If there be any who doubt the truth of this statement, let them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lecherous crimes against women and their doubts will vanish. The result of this comparison will be in favor of the comparison man in. If I were to publish the filled I have on my desk I would startle my readers. Colored men in other countries, such as Canada, Central America, South America, West Indies and Africa, are not pictured as the arch assailants of women. In fact, it is said that the attitude of the native African toward women is superior in point of decency to that of men in the most highly cultured countries. When I am told that the colored man is so lustfully inclined, I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mattees in t. United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble before this question. They know they are responsible. Yet many of them are always telling us women about 'Negro brutes' and 'Negro rapists.' In the South, my native home, where there is the loudest cry about 'race separation and white purity,' the greatest mingling of white men and colored women takes place. The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. "It must not be assumed that white women will always remain ignorant of and indifferent to this fact. Many of us are wideawake and are thinking, although only a few of us dare to express ourselves publicly on this question. Of course I am intelligent enough to know the reason for this denunciation of the colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap as wide as possible between the white woman and the colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and the colored woman? Why are not our men punished for intimate relations with colored women? No! This would interfere with white men's social freedom. Yet they arrogate unto themselves the role of supreme dictator as to the race or color of men with whom we must or must not mingle, while they will brook no interference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and become intimate. "With all the emphasis at my command I affirm that the colored man is not the unworthy creature that the press, platform, pulpit and the movies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusion is being gradually removed from white women's eyes." A LOYAL HELPER BY ALVAH J. GARTH (Copyright 1928, Western Newspaper Union) "I am not given to slang," remarked Alison Burford, but the select committee of the noguil of Lyndon handed me the letter. "I you expressed your views clearly." "Pure simple fraternialism, Ross. I observed dissatisfaction the momen- tals of the nomuil of Lyndon handed me War over, all pitching in for the higher reconstruction and work in band, classes and masses alike, to better world, and that line of thought." "I see, said Willis Ross meditatively, 'Between you and myself, however, you overdid the thing.' In what way? "You see, there's a rock-ripped group of aristocrats who rule the up- per town, and 200, while the people in the lower town something like 1,300. Upper Lyndon rules the roost because it sur- presse these birds to such breed these bone-plantrats to anything like progress is to invade their time-honored system as愈加 to preserve the eguilibrium to have prescribed generals and wound up with a tribute to the sense and power of the men who hold the bulk of business, or something "Well, I guess I've made a mess of it," acknowledged Burford rather thanurely, "and I can't carry the curry and I fear I will never get it. By the way, the young lady you got to copy my speech for the typemaster to script the book but no bill. Where will I find it?" "At home, I fancy, just now," after school hours. Miss Gloria Eaton has been the street. It's a two minute walk." Alison Burford was a trifle netted as she started to locate to the seat, trim her hair, and accept the fact that introduced him two days previous. She was at home, and plainly told him the cost of her labor, and accept the fact that introduced her a factway, but, as Burford arose to leave, bestowed a frank look of interest upon him and said: "I am presumptuous, Mr. Burford, if I made a suggestion as to your business in London?" "Why do, not at all, register present, received, and perhaps I might have told you at the start it would not bring you success. It has occurred to me that you should not give up on your job until you have looked over the ground a little more closely. While the exclusive set has considerable influence, they do not always control the votes that are what you are after, are they not? She spoke so clearly, womanly of tone, yet forceful, that Buford realized that hers was a genuine helpful voice. She was not a way to her way of to do her service. "If you would write out a new speech," Gledy Earle went on, and along new lines, I know you would have an impression on the community. "You mean to appear before those high and pompous dictators and bag for a recognition it is not in their sturden nature to award." spoke Buford. "Lyndnes needs many things the domestant set will never see to. Mr. Busch will need to represent the real majority in this district. I do not ask you to appeal again to the magnates of the upper class, but to represent the poor, town, shall I suggest a question? Then go among them on the basis of a champion of their subsidiary needs. The Lyndnes need to represent the system, long denied them, because of its cost and the sedifah aides of men in the district. These fellow men lower in the scalp. Pledge yourself to the improvement I indicate, make the fight squarely on their side. That not only will the movement give them work, but will add to the health and welfare of their wives and dhillis." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 PORT ARTHUR.

Negro race to open its eyes it wants a temporary or issue. Now and then somebody pays an indirect and unintended compliment to the growing power and group consciousness of colored Americans. Recently the enemies of the Negro race have "paid attention" to the Negro press. They have even "cussed out" the colored papers in congress, and wanted to legislate them out of existence in Graham bill. That is the greatest recommendation ever given the Negro press. When they meant nothing, and stood for nothing, and had no sort of backbone about anything, nobody worried about them. Some people smiled patronizingly at their plattitudes. When one got a little bolder than the rest, they killed it, as they did The Voice of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga. But now the Negro press as a whole has risen to a tone and pitch that commands the ear of the ENEMIES of the race. But the greatest compliment ever paid the growing consciousness of the race is the fact that the enemy is now beginning to worry over the kind of LEADERS which the Negro race is appointing for itself. It need not be asserted, and can not be denied, that in the South the white people have generally "appointed" such Negro leaders as they saw fit. They did it indirectly; they would only listen to such and such a "level-headed" Negro—and when colored people wanted to confer with white people, this Negro must be the medium through which, however much the colored people might despise and distrust this very Negro. And behold, the other day, a white congregant shouted out words to the effect that white people had better begin to pay more attention to the leaders which they ordain for the Negro, lest the leaders which the Negro is appointing for himself get the better of the matter. He points out in plain words that the superimposed leaders are beginning to be discarded by the colored race, and asks that the white people who want "their Negroes" to stay on the job had better begin to give extra attention to them and help to build them up in the respect of colored people. The congressman's idea is the old one—that whenever these favored leaders ask anything "for the race" the whites must seem to give ear to it and to hear it favorably, so that the race will fall in line behind these usable leaders. To be brief and to the point, it is just like bear hunting; we set a trap and leave a piece of beef for the bear—BUT in order that we might eat the whole bear later. It is up to the Negro race to open its eyes and consider in all such cases whether it wants a temporary or a permanent advantage. It is a plain issue.

JUNIOR TOPIC-What John Saw and Heard on Patmos INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC A Vision of the Glorified Christ. YOUNG PROPEL AND ADULT TOPIC The Glorified Christ the Center of the Bible. The next two lessons are from the Revelation, the book which contains Christ's message in the Gospel. The book of Zebedee, the Apostle, of Zebedee. The book was written from Patmos, a small rocky island in the Arabian Sea. The introduction (v. 1-3). 1. The title of the book (v. 1)—"The Revelation (Unveiling) of Jesus Christ." This does not mean the making known to Jesus Christ some secret knowledge. The revelation of Jesus Christ, then, refers to his personal appearing in glory to judge the world and establish his kingdom. The word Apocalypse, meaning "the end of time," corresponds to New Testament usage, the unveiling of a person (II Thess. 1:30; I Peter 1.7). The theme of the book is Christ's second coming, his appearance in glory (vv. 1, 7, 10). To whom we made known (vv. 1, 2) to his servant, John, to show unto Jesus servants things which must surely be understood. Benediction for those who read, hear, and keep the sayings of the book (v. 3). To whom (v. 4). The seven churches in Asia. These were historical churches then existing in Asia (Mary 1:1). To whom (v. 4). (1) From him which was, and is, and to come; (2) from the seven spirits which are before the throne (v. 4). By the seventh Holy Spirit in his sevenfold spirit. 11. The Vision of Glory (v. 9: 18). 1. The sevenfold lamp-stands (v. 12). These lamp-stands, or candlesticks, are used to hold the churches are presented under this figure because they are the light-holders in this time of the world's darkness. 2. The sevenfold lamp-stands (v. 13: 18). The vision shows us Christ in the midst of the churches, indicating that the Christ is made the central figure. 1. Clothed with a garment down to the foot (v. 13). This is a robe of royalty as well as of the priest (see the footnote below) and judge and to rule, as well as to offer sacrifice. 2. Clothed and hair white as wool (v. 14; cf.丹·7: 19: 20). This has a twofold significance, purity and eternity. 1. Eyes a flame of fire (v. 14). This suggests his infallible knowledge; he is able to see through and through, even detecting hidden thoughts. 2. Feet like burnished brass (v. 15; cf.丹·7: 19: 20). He comes with irresistible power. 3. His voice as the sound of many waters (v. 15). This suggests that all excuses of man will be swept aside. (6) Seven stars in his right hand (v. 16). According to verse 20, stars means the angels or messengers of chivalry on the other side, lonely elite. The stars are in his right hand, indicating the high honor given to the minister; he lies in the right hand of Jesus Christ, hears the shining light (7) Out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword (v. 16). Observe that this is not a hand sword, but a mouth sword. "The word that I have spoken to you" (8) The word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12). The word has two edges, contending the evil and approving the good. "The word of God shines in his strength (v. 16). The effect of sunshine is healthful and joyous to some things, while it is death and hardening to others. The Gospel converts some and hardens others. IV. The Command to Write and the Interpretation of the Vision (v. 10, 20). This command are indicated the divisions of the book. Giving Comfort Giving comfort under affection requires that penetration into the human mind, joined to that experience which knows how to soothe, how to reason, and how to ridicule, taking care to apply those arts improperly. - Fielding. Good Weather. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such weather. There is kind of good weather. - John Ruskin. SCRAPS of HUMOR SAD CASE. "I think you'll do," said Mr. Jagabys to the new maid, "but there's one thing I want to impress on you." "Wonderful," he said. "Whenever you see me retire to my cellar for—ahm—prayer and meditation, no matter who calls you must say, 'Perfectly, sir,' replied the maid, with a knowing smile. "At the last place I worked sir, the gentleman of my dressing room, tainted so much my mistress had half a dozen doctors in to see him, sir, and I was told they had to put him into A Guess. "I saw Ssuub kiss a girl the other night!" "What! Why, he told me today he'd never kissed one single girl in his whole life." "It's very probable. I remember at the time that she was too good-looking to be single." UNDISTURBED POSSESSION. "Every man is entitled to his opinion." "Quite true; and in many cases they don't appear to be of the slightest use to anybody but the owner." Some Weep We sometimes gry a grus.

"Hunted? Do you really believe that?" "I do. It is haunted by the thought that the landlord is going to raise the rent." Not Sure About it "You are giving your daughter a musical education, aren't you?" "Well, I can't say that exactly, but I am paying for one." HIS DELUSION "Is your husband a member of any secret society?" "He thinks he is, but he talks in his sleep." History. Oh, history repeats itself! It is a well-worn text.

MARCH 13. 1920 Do Colored Editors Mean to Pussyfoot? Indianapolis, Ind., 'March 9, 1920.—As I have been a constant reader of your splendid paper for ten months, I would like to submit to you the following statement, which I hope you will ind space in your paper to print: I have received 102 letters from editors all over the country which on the whole expressed this sentiment: "I am not particularly interested in who is the nominee of the republican party. I matters not what his name may be, or what his vocation may be, if he is right on the questions affecting my race and the business of this country, he is my candidate." I am in complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the race question; I would be a traitor if I were not; and I also believe that the c. ordinate of the republican party must be an out and out American, concerned primarily with the business of this country, like Lincoln and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the statement that it matters not If any one doubts that Miss Spring stands on the threshold ready to make her annual debut, he or she has but to pay a visit to Jones' Tailor Shop. 2416 McKinney Avenue, and inspect his new line of spring fabrics, in all colors, and wanted shoes and colors, of excellent quality. Three expert tailors are ever ready to serve your wants and suits can be turned out on short notice. The Jones Tailor Shop is one of the most progressive concerns of its kind among our people in the South, doing a general cleaning, tailoring, pressing, and sewing clothes and all modern and sanitary devices for serving his trade. They make pants in 24 hours and suits in 48 hours. See their spring and summer line and then give your trade to this house, which "stands for dependable service, fair and square business methods and the best values obtainable in the fashion industry." Employment to several race young men and women. When the editor of The Informer attended the recent session of the Lincoln League in Chicago, he had a conference with some of the leading authors of the book, Windy City, who handle advertising of a national character, employing space in a national manner.
