II CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST IS BARNY'RD ADAGE The recent beattings administered unto two white men in this city under peculiar circumstances by unknown parties, ought to bring home to every American citizen the menace of racial prejudice, peace, perpetuity and progress of our common country. Such wanton and cowardly depredations have called forth the severest condemnation from Criminal Judge C. W. Robinson, who states that either the courts must go or lawlessness of this species must cease. The courts were organized and instituted as instrumentalities where men might get justice through orderly processes and where no man or set of men could take undue advantage of any man because of his station in society. When "secret organizations" must be maintained to uphold law and order and when these self-appointed patrons (?) resort to violating the law in their supposed zeal and anxiety to see if uphold, they make a mackery in their defense, a denounce that either a screw is loose in our legal machinery or have in our boasted American civilization failed? Didn't we go thousands of miles from home to destroy the very practice that is now being enacted in our own midst with impunity? THE HOUSTON INFORMER Political Woods Are Filled With "Faithful" Who Are Employing Both Hammers and Axes; "Favorite Sons" Swarm the National Capital Washington, 'D. C.—From good sources it is reported, merit and party loyalty are going to be the chief okey passing marks. Those who hold office must measure up in mental and physical capacity; they must be backed by their senators and their state organizations, and they must be regarded as genuine representatives of the group. The political tools are filled with the faithful thinking for the stones upon which they might grind their axes. But the political carpenter shop is also very lively with individuals, and groups of individuals with hammers seeking to knock the "stuffin" out of every single one of the stones any and all offices. Of course, there has not been a man appointed, or proposed for appointment, from Secretary of State Hughes down to, Col. George Hughes on the side, who has been hammered on all sides. Now, on our "side of the minority," there is being everything said about everybody who has been even suggestive. to gloat or rejoice that lawlessness, so long unrestrained and unrestricted upon the colored citizens, should now find an outlet upon the white citizens; but they should show the grave peril to the safety and well-being of any citizen, who may get in bad with certain hard-boiled "mysterious" bullies and Huns, under our present dual system of courts, whose presiding judges are Justice and Layman. If were utter absurdity and preposterousness to even presume that lawlessness could be perpetuated upon one group of our population at will and the other hope to escape the inevitable: the law of retribution, which is inexorable, immovable, and inimitable. If matters continue to grow worse, the South is going to become an armed camp and any little flag can start a fight that can only be extinguished with great difficulty and that after much material and physical damage has been done and the law has been abolished. Let's permit the courts to function or let's abolish these so-called temples of justice. Let's give Jesus Christ a hearing or let's raze all His earthly churches to the ground and erect a memorial to the victims of "mysterious", and "invisible" fraternities, who are now out of duffel both the work of God and man. Lawlessness must go or America will be weighed in the balance and found wanting; having built our civilization, upon the collapse of the empire will be terrible and awful. Every cowardly and summary act by these self-appointed HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921. favor. It is a sickening lot of accusations that are afloat in the Washington air. The charges range all the way from petty larceny to murder in the first degree, some true, some false and few, if any, worth while. The Honorable So-and-So reads the pedigree of the Honorable Thus-and-Thus, posing himself as a creature of immaculate personality. But when the Honorable Thus-and-Thus gets through telling "what he knows" about Honorable So-and-So, one is led to the conclusion that none is worthy. Here are some of the states that are going to have bitter factional scrambles for office, and which may disgust party leaders so such an extent that several good things will go begging: Ohio, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania and possibly Indiana. In Ohio the friends of Charles A. Cottrill have been under the impression that he had "clear sailing in the national field." It is stated that Cottrill and Councilman Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland had a tacit understanding that Cottrill was to play the national game, and Fleming the state game. With former mayor of Cleveland, Harry L. Davils as present governor of Ohio, it has been admitted that Fleming stands on the inside in state matters. Now, lo and behold, information, persisting-hither and further that the Honorable Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland, a buoyant of the City Council, who is likewise a candidate for reelection for the sixth time, is in a receptive mood for the important position of minister to Halti, if it is declared. Council Eminent Pianist and Soloist Will Appear Here Tuesday Night Madam Porth Washington Pittman, daughter of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, will appear in grand recital at Pilgrim Congregational Church, corner Wilson and Cleveland streets, next night tea, March 29, 1811. He will be the famous Wellesley College of America, and afterwards specialized in music under some of the greatest musician on the continent of Europe. Let no one fall to hear this remarkable artist and her vocal attendant. BEAUMONT INSTRUCTOR HERE. Prof. H. S. Smith, principal of the Colored Commercial College of Beauty and the School of the Spanish classes be conducted by Mrs. W. L. Land, who underwent a minor operation at the Union Hotel, and was pleased with the work of the class he and considers Houston an ideal field for that kind of work. guardians of the public weal and welfare not only deteriorates and degenerates the character of the community, but also stult reduces the community just that much nearer the savage, barbarian and cave man stage and is a criminal assault and brutal outrage upon Americanism and Christianity, all the while suppressing the foundation of our body politic. As a matter of self-preservation these lawless bands of terrorists and anarchists' must be suppressed, while chickens may roam far from home, they should be home to roost. Selah! man Fleming, with one of his chief lieutenants, Sidney B. Thompson, had a conference in Marion with President Harding, prior to the latter's coming to Washington. Mr. Cottrill is not de'srous of returning to Honolulu, although the Hawaiians wish him, but he feels that he could write a perfectly legible signature as register of the treasury. It is safe to say that no state is going to be longed down with presidential appointments. This is the Ohio situation to date, with other notables, past and present, yet to be heard from. In Missouri, the Honorable Aaron Malone, of St. Louis, would not be adverse to signing his name to Uncle Sam's paper money to make it official, nor would J. Silas Harris, of Kansas City, at the other end of the state, the two cities always having a contest of rivalry all their own. Dr. J. R. Crossland feels that he could properly diagnose and look after the welfare of the department of the fourth auditor of the navy in the treasury department. Then there are Miss Victoria-Clay and Homer Phillips both of St. Louis, who have a special hiking for the term: "U. S. Of social." New York, with Fred R. Moore, Charles W. Anderson, George E. H. Harts, in the metropolitan and some other in the smaller cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and Rochester, progress to furnish "big leagues" entertainment. At the same time a new star has appeared in the heavens. The "Black Star" of the Honorable Marcus Garvey is giving forth the melody of "Garvey HARDING GIVES FIRST OFFICIAL RACE UTTERANCE Washington, D. C.—President Harding gave his first official utterance on the "Race Problem" to the public on the 12th of March in an open letter to Nahun Daniel Brascher, the editor of the Associated Negro Press. The letter reads as follows: 8 pt here "The White House," March 12, 1821. "My Dear Mr. Brascher: In the last year I have had some opportunity to learn of the work of the Associated Negro Press and I am pleased to say that so far as I have noted it is doing a useful work in the direction of establishing a sound and enlightened attitude of mind toward the race problem in this country. I feel that co-operation and mutuality of understanding together with a spirit of tolerance and helpfulness will do very much toward betterment in all phases of our national life. I am most deslourous of encouraging every activity of this kind." "Sincerely yours," WARREN G. HARDING. Local Poro Agents Are Entertained The Poro Club met at the home of Mrs. Rebecca Taylor, Dowling and Ms. Elizabeth McCormick elected for the ensuing year. A very interesting meeting was held, after a meeting of the board, serred. The two agents are invited to present at the next meeting, which will be held at the residence of Mrs. James, 1211 Frederick Street, Monday morning. will shine tonight." During the latter part of April, it is stated, the Honorable Mr. Garvey will descend upon the capital city with all his hosts, at which time the "Black House" will be opened in the "presidential suite" in the Whitelaw Hotel. From thence on, the universals state they will be a power to be reckoned with in the dispensing of political and economic justice. The Honorable Clarence Matthews of Boston, an athletic fame, now a high salaried member of the Garvey legal staff, with other representatives of the movement, have been in Washington for several days laying plans. Pennsylvania has Charles Vann of Pittsburgh and Andrew Stevens of Philadelphia, with Justin Carter of Harrisburg; all in constant wireless communication with the capital via Senator Penrose. Indiana has Judge Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond and Earnest Tidrington of Evanville, who know "personally." Senators New and Watson, and who have separate and distinct opinions on their personal qualities and statesmanship. Illinois is the one great state North, with its magnificent and mighty Chicago, where there is little or nothing said of federal patronage. Under the Mayor Thompson organization, in city and state, the faithful are so splendidly taken care of that national honor has been up appeal. That's a situation to be considered. However, Samanthus McCormick and McKinley, it may be accurately stated, are laying plans to build up an organization that will be a hummer. The story of the South is yet to be told. Y. M. C. A. DRIVE NETS ABOUT $3,000 AMONG OUR GROUP The membership drive of the local colored Y. M. C. A. has nearly reached the $3000 mark, $2,833. having been secured in-cash and pledges. The board of managers hope to secure larger quarters for the Y and to enlarge the program so as to reach a larger number of boys and men who need the kind of service this organization is pledged and ordained to do. The $3000 budget will probably be realized in the next few days. Mamie Smith Will Be Entertained at Center The general public is invited to a reception and entertainment given in honor of Mamie Smith and her "jazz honeats" at the Community Center, 714% Prairie Avenue, Friday night, after the program at the City Hall. The charge has spared no pain to make the occasion a pleasant one. Refreshments will be served and the enjoyment of jazz music "n 'everything." Chicago Pastor Is Royally Treated Here Rev Lucius Drane, Chicago pastor who has been conducting a series of protracted meetings at Walt's Chapel was entertained by Pastor R. W. Wells of said church at the beautiful home of the late Frank Hocking, 2005 Dallas Avenue, Wednesday. Several of the leading ministers and laymen of the city were present and attended. A delicious repast was served. Rev Drane, who is loud in his praise of Houston and its wonderful left Thursday morning for Chicago. DISTINGUISHED AUTHOR FLAYS AMERICANS FOR LYNCHING FESTS; HUNNISH "KULTUR" IS RAMPANT New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, has announced receipt of a communication from George Bernard Shaw, in which, after calling lynching one of the organized pleasures of America, he spoke of American lynchings in the following terms: "Hardly any American seems to understand that in a civilized country it is murder to kill any person except by process of law. It seems to be assumed that whoever disapproves of the conduct of a Negro is entitled to consult with the judge, jury and executioner, and burn the Negro after inviting the countryside to come to the burning as if it were a hunting meet. As the countryside appears to come, and to enjoy itself, Europe concludes that the Apache is produced by climate, not by race." The communication from Mr. Shaw is in response to facsimiles sent to him from American newspapers telling of the burning at stake of Henry Lowry, at Nodena, Arkansas, on January 26, 1921.

Besides the original Mamie Smith Jazz Hour, the company will introduce Eastern comedy acts from Kyle's Circuit, Tribute and Digas, in a screening of the company's new comedy, also Margaret Jackson, the colored printed prima donna soprano, with Tom Cross, the well known baritone. STANDARD ICE CREAM ENJOYING RACES' IS GOOD NAI When the above named company was formed policy—to endeavor to create one firm policy—to endeavor to create from experience what should eventually become "The Aristocrat of the Ice Cream World." Though but a year, it old age, it ranks second to none in quality of the institution. Its business is chaste and a desire to make the best that can be made has given Standard Ice cream a distinctive individuality—when you eat some of it, you like all the rest, come to this conclusion. Only only two ice creams—STANDARD and others—and discriminating eaters prefer Standard. The triumph of the Standard Ice Cream Co. has been made possible through the firm belief in its future by every number of its harmony of effort, intelligence, honesty and confidence assure the company that will be conducted on the same high plane of integrity that stamps the dealings of any big legitimate enterprise.

JUNIOR TOPIC - Our Ever-Present INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Christ in the People and ADULT TOPIC Christ in the Life of Today 1. The Empty Sepulcher (v. 1-7) 1. The earthquake (v. 1-4) This curved when the glorious angel descends away from the tomb. This work of the angel was not to allow Jesus to be empty. Christ needed not even the help of a glorious angel, for He was raised up by his own power and cross. The open tomb and the angel sit upon the stone with calm dignity is a picture of God's trumpet of keepers is a sample of what all of Christ's enemies shall one day experience. He comes in glory to reign as King. 2. The angel's message to the women (vv. 57). "I [fear not] (v. 5), fear these women who loved the Lord received good news from the empty tomb. The Lord will not long leave them, and I [fear] them and dread. The empty tomb put an end to all doubts and fears. It is the evidence that the question of the Lord will not be answered infined and eternal victory is secured. "The Come, see (v. 6). The angel told the women that the Lord had told them to see the place where He lay. The reason He invites them to come in is that He desires them to make sure they will see the place where He lay. The effort to convince the disciples of the reality of His resurrection. He remained with them for 40 days, after which He told them, "Go quickly" (v. 7). Having seen for themselves, their responsibility was to go tell the message. White facts, of course, one should not stay too long because there is work to do. Experience is important, so they should go to quilty to the disciples with the message, assured that the Lord would go before and meet them. "The Risen King Meets the Woman" (vv. 7). The women quickly obeyed the command of the angel and were running to bring the disciples word. Jesus told them, "You have an experimental knowledge of Christ should go speedily to tell others all. It who quenched with his lips the word of God way. When they saw Jesus, that He was really the Lord, they worshiped Him. They knew that He was the worshiped. Therefore entitled to be worshiped. II. Paying Money to Circulate a Lie (v. 11-15) He came from the dead could not even be deified by the Sanhedrin. They could see but one way out of the difficulty, that was to bring the keepers to tell a lie. They had to tell the people they pay much more to circulate a lie about His resurrection. IV. Wonderful power money has over the lives of people. Only indirectly induce people to lie, but it even muzzles the mouths of preachers. IV. The King's Great Commission By virtue of His royal authority He issued this command to the disciples. In order to prepare them to them he declared to them that all power in heaven and earth was given unto Him. This is most fundamentally. Only the is业 deity himself has declared they likely to go about with the message. "Go, teach all nations." This is the first and primary business of the disciples. The rise and mighty Lord issues this command to all (v. 10). 2 Baptize them in the name of the Christ. He has declared the disciples of the Lord should receive that rite which signifies that relationship to Him (v. 19). 3 Command the disciples (v. 20). Those who become Christ's disciples should be taught obedience to all His commands. He has declared the abiding presence. Christ's abiding presence guarantees the success of the enterprise. **Prayer.** In the morning, when you awake, accustom yourself to first think upon God or something in order to His service.

Your annual sojourn with us has about come to an end, although you are somewhat reluctant to make your exit. Your task has been completed and you spend your "days as a tale that is told." You bring us disease, death, desolation and despair. Your breath is at its best when it comes direct from the frigid regions of the far-away northern climes. You bring la gripe, pneumonia, colds, influenza, diphtheria, smallpox, tuberculosis and other dreaded and destructive diseases. With your pristine strength you speed the toottering and shattering earth-beings to their final resting place with unwonted celerity. You delight in compelling us to wrap ourselves in heavy coats and wraps to thwart the chilly blasts that answer your every beck and call. You are more ruthless and elusive than a German submarine; you attack without a warning and gloat in injurious performances. You lay bare the branches of the sylvan sentinels; you agitate them with storms; you place a mantle of snow upon their depopulated and nude branches. Your chilly blasts force us to long for and seek Old Sol, as he steps from his oriental chamber to his occidental resting place with transcendant and unsneakable majesty and power. Your unwelcome and unpleasant programs cause animals, insects and reptiles to hibernate. You change the complexion of our entire program, much to our discomfiture, disgust and displeasure. In your departure, if you so desire, you can surpass the record of the swift-footed Achates, who hastened to the shore to bring Ascanius and the Trojan gifts to Sidionian Dido or Mercury, the swift-flying messenger, who hurried to Carthage to inform the inhabitants of the Trojan's advent. Our farewell to you is not because we love you less, but in view of the fact that we have a greater admiration for Miss Spring. The melodious and sonorous chirp of the winged nightingales of the forests tells us that Spring is on the threshold, holding out to you your passports. Already the fields are being regaled in their verdure apparel. The birds are visible on the trees and the blooms and blossoms are gently whispering: "Crimp is gone; Spring is here." Soon the various flower-yards will be heavily laden with Spring's early contributions to mankind and the air will be full of the scent diffused and breathed upon Cupid by Venus on Mount Olympus and the ambrosial nectar of Neptune. You say that your duty is quite necessary and that we must be your victims, willingly or unwillingly. Alas! old man, it is this cruel, cold and heartless attitude of yours that renders you persona non grata. You make us discard straw hats, palm beach, mohair, cool cloth and linen suits. You put a quietus on B. V. D.'s and short sleeves. You rout strawberries, peaches, plums, figs, canteloupes, watermelons and other luscious, palatable and nourishing fruits and vegetables. You increase expenses by creating fuel bills of divers shapes, to say nothing of wearing apparel. Say, old man, after we recount all these-mean deeds you commit, how can we wear any medals for showing our love of you? With the greatest amount of felicity we say: Exit Old Man Crimp; enter Miss Spring, you are just our style.

Easter should not be celebrated ceremonies and formalities, but using due consideration and recognitions and typifies to the human fa The Apostle Paul in First Corinthians 15:12-19, discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the foundation and basis of the Christian faith, summing his argument up in these words: "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." Most of our readers are quite familiar with the historical facts connected with passion week; the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot; the trial before Pontius Pilate and the finding of no fault in Him by the Roman ruler; Peter's impetuosity and pugnacity, and the ultimate crucifixion of the Redeemer upon Golgotha's rugged heights. According to Divine decree, at the appointed hour angelic messengers, on the wings of much alacrity, flew from the heavenly abode, caused sleep to take possession of the weared limbs of the Roman guards, rolled away the stone from the tomb and Christ arose and marched majestically and divinely from the sepulchre, triumphant over death, hades and all earthly powers. His resurrection was the most notable triumph and achievement in the annals of the scriptures; no doubt heaven adorning itself in its gayest garbs and apparel and watching the conflict as waged in the grave. Perhaps the heavenly host sent up vociferous shouts that shook the celestial regions from center to circumference when the Lamb of God demonstrated His divinity and supernatural powers on that memorable occasion. This day, made momentous, sacred and holy by the resurrection of the great Atoner and Propitiat, is called Easter Sunday in Christendom and is a gala religious day. Upon Christ's resurrection hinges all our faith; for if he did not rise from the dead, then "we are of all men most miserable." Easter should not be celebrated with style shows, meaningless ceremonies and formalities, but with lowly, contrite worship, giving due consideration and recognition to what the day really signifies and typifies to the human family. "Ring on, ring on, ye bells, Peal forth a gladsome sound; Jesus, the victor, lives today, His name with honors crowned." COLORED PEOPLE SHOULD BUY FROM RACE'S ADVERTISERS The Informer wishes to call our people's attention to the fact that there are several stores in Houston that do not cater to nor care for the colored people's patronage, and when our people enter these stores they are in variably given a "cold shoulder." NEGRO HEALTH WEEK BEGINS SUNDAY, APR. 3 For the third time the Texas Public, Health Association is an nouncing its co-operation with all of the states having a large To avoid this uncalled for humiliation and unnecessary embarrassment, peruse the columns of your colored newspapers and unless you see business places advertising with some deed in your name, and in your papers, stay out of those stores and urge your friends to do likewise. Any store that desires and applauds the race's patronage will advertise in colored newspapers, and when they do not advertise in papers published by our racial group, it is primal not wanted, and it is not up to us to make ourselves conspicuous by our absence. Then, too, don't purchase your merchandise in these "holes in the walls" and 2x4 joints, who, like the Dead Sea, take in everything and give out nothing. The time has arrived for the colored people to have some racial self-respect and stop spending their money with merchants who are base ingrates and mercantile hogs. The readings in advertisements in all issues of your newspaper and then practice the doctrine of business reciprocity by patronizing only those merchants who are insensitive to that It is a serious reflection upon our race to continue to enrich men who do not care a rap for nor appreciate our trade, and if we would only employ a little gray matter and make a few sacrifices by foregoing such purchases, even if they are in the shape of bargains, and go elsewhere and throw our support out of their support to our race's enterprises, we will be committing an act that will have a three-fold blessing.

This Negro Health Week is held at approximately the same time each year. Last year over 200,000 Negroes of Texas participated in some form or other in the celebration of this week. The purposes of Negro Health Week are to educate the people of the race in the methods of preventing disease and the improving of local sanitary conditions. A special program for each of the days of the week has been prepared. Sunday, April 3, is given over to sermons and lectures, while Tuesday, April 5, is Children's Health Day, and Thursday, April 7, is Tuberculosis Day. Anyone interested in having an active part in Negro Health Week can secure full information by writing Dwight E.
