Whites Desire Inter-Racial Amity "LILY White BLACK REPUBLICA CONCERNING PART "LILY-WHITEISM BLACK REPUBLICANS DISTURBED CONCERNING PARTY'S RACE POLICY; "LILY-WHITEISM" WILL NOT DOWN (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 8 — "Lily-white," the infamous, notorious, nefarious, sacrilegious and hell-hearted dame of southern debased ideas, is on the rampage again! If "lily" is permitted to run loose, as now appears to be the republican program, so far as the South is concerned, may God help America and the G. O. P! President Warren G: Harding, than whom no finer exponent of human justice, by word of mouth, ever occupied the executive chair, is seemingly being invigued to acquiesce in a program that has for its object the elimination of colored Americans from absolute consideration in Southern politics. Washington, D. C., June 3. "Ilyl-wily," the infamous, notorious, nefarious, sarcastic and heart-bleated dame of southern debased ideas, is on the rampage again! If "ilyl" is permitted to run loose, as now appears to be the republican program, so far as the South is concerned, may God help America and the G. O. P. President Warren G. Harding, than whom no finer exponent of human justice, by word of mouth, ever occupied the executive chair, is seemingly being invigued to acquiesce in a program that has for its object the elimination of colored Americans from absolute consideration in Southern politics. This amazing condition of affairs is thoroughly presented in a four-column, even-tempered, frank editorial in the Atlanta Independent, issue of May 21. The editorial sets forth the establishment of a "committee of one hundred, which seeks to reimbure republicans whites in Georgia, and very obviously has for its ultimate object the elimination of Henry Lincoln Johnson, and his following, both white and colored, in Georgia politics. President Harding has, according to latest information, as published in the Independent, recounted this committee's chairman, Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, known in certain states of the South, where democracies have become alarmed at this "ilyl-wily" republican activity, that certain suggestions are being made to certain colored leaders to the effect that, if democracies should be endangered in office holding, they the premises is without appeal. Democrats Taking Notice, Democrats in Washington and throughout the South are taking special notice of the moves of the "ilyl-wily" office. Office-holding, and the spoils of democracy, have been the magic combinations that have held Southern democrats together, with anti-Negro propaganda as the big issue. Now, it appears, that this very propaganda may be the means of marvelous and important results known in certain states of the South, where democracies have become alarmed at this "ilyl-wily" republican activity, that certain suggestions are being made to certain colored leaders to the effect that, if democracies should be endangered in office holding, they the premises is without appeal. Slemp and Hitchcock Confer. Congressman Bascom Slemp of Virginia, and Frank H. Hitchock, former chairman of the republican national committee, and former postmaster general under President Taft, have been known by the Associated Negro Press to have conferred, and to well oppose, the subject of South African political conditions, as they affect colored Americans, was thoroughly discussed. Congressman Slemp is chairman of the subcommittee of the republican national committee that has the matter of dealing with the debate the national committee could consider. Congressman Slemp is known as a 'lily white' of the first degree, according to colored leaders of Virginia. Frank Hitchock for years has been known to be obsessed with the idea of building up a republican party in the South, in which colored citizens would practically be eliminated except possibly those who would be milded few of the bids of their masters. The situation has reached a crisis in Washington, and has superceded all other considerations. The subject of patronage has become nothing, as compared with it. In fact, on the subject of patronage, the Church of Ten of patronage has an extended conference with President Harding about three weeks ago. The conference was one of confidential exchange of opinions and policies. Mr. Church has not appressed the Associated Negro Press of the details of the conflictable sources has been leaked in the Harding painfully frank in letter it be known that there are to be certain limitations on the administration in appointing colored men to office. In other words, the Harding administration, in seeking honesty to apply the tonic of justice, will not go so far as to impose the conditions that will bring forth bitter comment from white southerners. So serious has become the political status of the race in the republican party that all reactionalism has ceased and all the well-known leaders through out the country are presenting a solid enemy of the times, "jive white." VOL. 111. "Lily-white," the infamous, nood- and hell-hearted dame of southern again! If "lily" is permitted to the republican program, so far God help America and the G. than whom no finer exponent of th, ever occupied the executive led to acquiesce in a programation of colored Americans from politics. Democrats Taking Notice. Democrats in Washington and throughout the South are taking special notice of the moves of the "lily whites." Office-holding, and the spoils of office, have been the magic combinations that have held Southern Democrats in office, proaganda as the big issue. Now it appears, that this very proaganda may be the means of a marvelous change in Southern conditions. It is known that in certain states of the South, where democrats have become alarmed at this "lily white" republican movement, it is being made to color coded leaders to the effect that, if democrats should be endangered in office holding, they will form a coalition with Negroes, with certain political understandings, and permit them to vote. This matter is having very serious attention, according to exact information coming from the Democratic Press from most reliable sources. On the other hand, Nemo republicans throughout the North, where their votes count in close years, have been outspoken in their expressions that no "nate trickies" can be pulled off by the republican national committee, the conservative, the senatorial, the congressional and gubernatorial elections in 1922. Practically every newspaper in the country has set forth editorial opinions, backed by expression from the people, that bear out this statement. The influence of the Nemo newspaper in molding and shaping the most remarkable things of the times. The letter of Charles D. Hiles, a national committee member from New York protecting in couting down Southern representation, and declaring that it would endorse disaffection; the expression of William Pickens on the subject, in a special contribution to the Nemo Negro Press, has weight.

Austin, Tex.-The Texas Public Health Association has issued a warning to the citizens of Texas against the menace of the house fly and the mosquito. The common fly is sometimes called the typhoid fly, as it causes much typhoid fever. It also helps spread cholera infection, tuberculosis and many other diseases. To eliminate this menace we must destroy the breeding places of the fly, among which the most important are cesspools and filthy stables. It takes the eggs a week to hatch, so the rubbish and other breeding places of the common fly should be removed or disinfected at least five or six days. The ordinary mosquito is called the mosquito, because by its bite the larger portion of malaria is transmitted. The mosquito is also capable of carrying a number of other diseases. The breeding places of the *m*osquito are stagnant water, slopes, dirty fronty walls, piers, ditches. To combat this no water should be allowed to become afflicted. If it is necessary to have a standing body of water, it should be covered with oil. Other breeding places should be kept in a sanitary condition. When it is not in use, this can be punched in the bottom will prevent water collecting. It has been definitely shown that a mosquito can fly only 1/5 miles. After all precautions have been taken the house should be securely screwed so that no fly or mosquito can gain entry and thus expose the family to disease. the offenders, is sufficient reason why the whole matter should be exposed and brought to the attention of thinking people. The injection of racial prejudice into the discussion will get us nowhere. It is a time for calm consideration and careful weighing of the consequences that are sure to follow unless conditions are remedied." Dr. Ham declared that peonage conditions exist in convict camps throughout Georgia, that prisoners are flogged and mistreated, that barbarian practices prevail under the guise of legal authorities. He asserted that "peonage within the law" is more offensive than "peonage without the law." "The moral issue can not be beclouded." said the minister.

Madden of Chicago was given an ovation when he concluded his address before the "Convention of Amity Between the Colored and White Races" at the First Congregational Church. Congressman Madden's subject was "Duties and Responsibilities of Citizenship." He began saying: "Let us hope we have reached the hour when we can bid good night to the day that is gone, and look forward to the day when the people of all races will be given justice." Congressman Madden spoke of duties of individuals, and the duties of the government in the responsibilities for the protection of citizenship. He pleaded for equality of opportunity in everyday life, declaring that he firmly believes there is a dawn of a new day when merit, regardless of color, will get its just reward. "The world we opened the door of opportunity for education. More than 400,000 colored citizens became soldiers, forming one-tenth of the total army. There was no discrimination in that, and there should be none in civil life," declared the congressman. The congressman referred to the terrible condition of trenching, peaage, and spoil, and asked the judiciary committee of the house. He stated that he believes that the bill will be reported favorably, and advanced on the calendar. He said he felt assured that the measure when passed would be signed by the president.

He heralded the day when there would be little if any differences between peoples. This, he said, would Other speakers were Representative Theodore Burton, Charles Lee Cook of Louisville, Ky., and Louis G. Greer. "The races must dwell in it in this country because they are the color of the people." The colored race should be recognized by white men, not only because the constitution of the United States requires it, but by the divine power of God. "Both races, he continued, 'must be understood to each other'." The colored race was committed by a colored man his people should be inbring him to justice. "At the same time, he add, 'If a crime was committed and the ofender was unknown, and a colored man should not jump to the conclusion that a colored man committed it.' "We are to take an important place among nations of the world," said the senator, "but we must first put our house in order of the order of the world, in that of leaching. This is not against the colored man alone, but against the man as well.

McCarthy, the former city, Ky. The world, he said, is looking, and has always looked, to this country for social justice. There is a great work ahead, he continued, in bringing the people together and help to achieve it, and not bury their heads in the sands of optimism.

PRIMARY TOPIC-Jesus-Love for His Country NONI TOPIC-Loving and Helping Our Country NONI TOPIC-AND BENI TOPIC-Learning to Our Country YOUNG PEOPLE AND NONI TOPIC-Learning to Our Country Principles in Law and Government. Not "Making the Nation Christian," if the lesson committee please, Neither of the passages chosen for today' s lesson has any bearing on the title of the lesson. The New Testament will do set forth some important teachings regarding the nation, and the teacher should carefully bring out their vital meaning. The New Testament will be made Christian in this dispersion; but rather that Christ is gathering from among the naive and the uneducated. His church, showing that God's purpose is the salvation of individuals. 1. "Blessed is the Nation Whose This verse shows Israel's peculiar distinction. Israel is the only nation of which, in name even, it could be said that Jebah was its God. He called this nation into being for a place where a nation chose God, where a nation chose God, where God chose a nation for His own inheritance. It would be blessed to have an inheritance in God, but how would it be blessed to have an inheritance? No nation can have Israel's unique place, but the nation which today gives God His rightful place in its affairs shall be singular in its blessing in the times when she acknowledged God. In the recent awful war when the national congress set aside a day of prayer, God heard the victory given to the allies. II. A Nation's Glory (Prov. 14:34). The only fame for which a nation may justly be proud is righteousness, the rendering to all their dues. It is this that makes a nation strong and influential. A nation that sins counts its sacred covenants as "scraps of paper," becomes an outcast among the nations and eventually goes down to ignominious defeat. The nation that has no righteousness as its standard has no right to exist. III. Christian Citizenship (Rom. 13:1-10). The believer in Christ is a citizen as well as a church member. Intelligent Christians will show loyalty to the state as well as to the church. 1. The Christian's obligation to the state (vv. 1-7). This obligation is upon all Christians. The reason that a obligation is universal is that civil government is ordained of God, and the rulers are His representatives. Society could not exist without government. It is God's purpose that man should live under authority. To refuse obedience to civil authority is to resist God. (2) The spirit of such obedience (v. 5). It is to be conscientious, that is, it is to be regarded not merely as serving a good purpose, but morally right. (3) The nature of this obedience (vv. 6, 7). (a) Payment of personal liability; enjoy the benefits of government are morally bound to support it. (b) Payment of duty upon merchandise and goods; enjoy the benefits of between nations must be regulated. For such regulations expense is incurred, for which benefits the citizens should pay. (c) Plea for institutes. "Five to whom fear." Those who fear God should venerate his representatives, that is, civil rulers. (d) Who fear the civil rulers of civil servants because of the ministry they perform. 2. The Christian's obligation to his wife. (vv. 8, 10). This is summed up in the word "love." Love is a perpetual obligation. The only debt that is right to him is the debt of civil servants defraining in matters of property; to it defending into debt where there is no reason to defray it; to defray the obligation; to it defending defrauding in matters of moral purity. Where there is love, adultery cannot be compounded; where there is bidding stealing; it forbids covering for coveins making a desire for that which belongs to another; it forbids the working of any ill to one's neighbor. The Lord's Sabbath And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Jacob, and speak unto them, "I will keep for it; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am your brother, and that I am both of you, you— odus 31, 12, 18.

Drama of Christ and the Multitude BY REV J. R. SCHAFFER Director of Events, Moody Hibiscus Institute, Chicago TEXT.-And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.-Matt. 11:4 When Jesus stepped onto the stage of this world's history He soon become a saint, a saint of our own compelling attraction. Everywhere He was the mute tude throughed about Him to see His miracles and besti- tling. Picture such a scene as is sug- gested in Matt. 4:225-226. On the superlatives sensation of calling attraction. Everywhere he went the mutilated man about Him to see his miracles and hear His teachings and see a scene as is suggested in Matt. 4:23:28. Consider here: "All Gallilee; 'All man of sickness;' 'All man of disease.' What a cliché! It's fame went out of the church unto Him all sick people and he healed them. Had ever physician or surgeon such success? And there for all his suffering, please." What renown? The whole country was stirred to wild enthusiasm. Over the bills and valleys of Iowa and Iowa, across the Jordan into Syria, the news was carried of the strange and unaccountable deeds of this new One day the situation became so intense that spelled peril for the group, and to disinfluence Himself from the crowd by taking ship across the Sea of Galilee to his prayer retreat in the desert. This was not so easily disposed. This only served to inflame their ambitions. They determined to press their demands to the authorities, and the process ensured that the boat carries Him away from them. They will find Him on the other side. Whither they know not. They are aroused from their intent, to realize a gawning hunger at the close of day in a waste and barren landscape. Boy'a Lunch Feeds Multitude. The watchful eye of Jesus was upon the surging, seething throng. He knew their need. His companion, but what could he Do? No money no bread, no shops—nothing of human resource to meet this threat. He knew Andrew had found a boy with a few bites for a lunch—not lobes not fish, but five fingers. He knew they were there. Nothing to a man—less to a crowd of thousands—to Jesus sufficient for every need. He used what he had, the number of that loss and they took up twelve baskets of fragments. The residue far exceeded the number of that loss in His hands. For more passionate than before became the multitude, now hunger appended, until that time clamored to make Jesus king. Why not? A kings who could feel them with miracle bread when hungry, who could command their diseases and heal them, even crisis with such poise and security! The cry was lied, Lead on, O King: from five thousand voices. But behold, he responds not. He asks, "Why did the crowd, the audience, grieve with sainthipity thrust upon Him would calm their emotional tempest. They take up the trall again, until they find Him in Capernaum the opportunity. His opportunity has now come. They must have the mists of delusion displeased. They must know His terms of kingship. He knows their hearts. He knows their needs. He needs me for the loves and hushes. Turn Away Offended. What is rebuke? Their selfishness was uncleared. They began to murmur. They challenged Him with queerness and prophecy and miracle work and disbelief. His real identity as Messiah—Son of God, Eternal Bread of Heaven. They looked at Him and asked him: How can he give us his flesh to eat? Why, he can cry. His heir is turned. We know his mother. We know the carousel horse. We know the town he came from. We know the town he came from. He is beside himself. What of what he is saying? He will give eternal life to him. How much time that many of His disciples walked no more with Him. How largely this picture the attire has changed. How ever since —turning the back on Him. Oh, the crowds fed him. Protected him. He has turned their backs. His eyes have been closed. Why, oh, why are men offended in Jesus. In almost every crowd, when the gospel has been proclaimed, some have numbed their senses. How away—never to come back. Why? "Men loved blood rather than light, because their deeds were evil."—How can you understand to understand His message. They stumble at the cross—"Christ crucified, into the Jews a stumbling clock, and into the Greeks (Gentiles) godlessness"—I C. 128. 123. They lie in because of ineburacy—B. 31. 19. "O taste, and that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him"—Pascal 34. 8. VELVET BROWN PREPARATIONS For SKIN and HAIR are the result of years of experiment and study by me. A. B. B.

PAGO THREE Two generations from now either the colored people of Kentucky will not be riding in Jim Crow cars, or the colored people of Ohio and Indiana, of Missouri and West Virginia will be riding in Jim Crow cars. The colored people on the north bank of the Ohio River should have an immediate concern in the Jim Crowism of the south side. In Chicago in the early 1900s, the colored people in Covington. To feel secure in such a situation is to dream sweet dreams in a fool's paradise. In very human nature it is impossible for this difference to continue. This civilization must become all one thing or all the other. And it is now becoming—what? Many people quote Lincoln's saying, that this country "cannot remain half slave and half free." But they quote it only with their tongues; they do not quote it with their brains. If they quote it with their brains, it means this country "cannot remain half slave and half free." In Jim Crowism half slave segregation and half not half slave segregation, half disfranchising and half not disfranchising, half anything and half the contradictory thing. If such a contradiction could persist, men who live in the North would have to be radically and fundamentally different sorts of being from men who live in the South, and the Mason and Dixon line would have to be not simply an imaginary line on the ground, but a real line in human nature. But such is not the case. There is no real difference between these two principles, that there will be no permanent difference. They will ultimately all do one thing or they will all do the other. The borderland, where these principles meet, is the first battleground, and destiny hangs on the issue. PAGE FOUR THE HOUSTON INFORMER SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!"

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921. SHOULD THE TRUTH BE TOLD? The Great Teacher once exclaimed: "We shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free; and if the truth make you free, you are free indeed." This doctrine, promulgated and advocated centuries ago by the greatest Teacher of all time, seems to run contrariwise to modern day thought in many quarters, where, if the truth is spoken, those essaying to tell the truth are branded as "agitators," "radicals," "trouble breeders" and "undesirables." It will be a sad day for this old world of ours when men fail to utter the truth because they fear that certain self-appointed and self-constituted moral and civic purveys will mute out violence and terror upon them for giving utterance to the truth. The truth cuts like a two-edged sword and men, whose lives cannot stand the searchlight of pitiless publicity and who arrogate unto themselves powers not even delegated to the courts of the land^b statute or custom, are bitter opponents to the gospel of the truth. Governor Hugh Dorsey of Georgia dared tell the truth about the horrors and cruelties within the confines of his barbary commonwealth, and because he possessed the courage and backbone to make public a series of Hunnish crimes perpetrated promiscuously upon colored citizens in his state by members of his own race, the chief magistrate of Georgia is anathema and his name is "Dennis" among some of the state's reputed leading citizens. Governor Dorsey should have known better than to tell the truth upon his fellowmen; for this is an unpardonable sin in the South, especially when the revelations disclose rough and unhuman treatment administered unto the colored race. If Governor Dorsey had desired to retain the friendship and good will of his erstwhile political heinchmen, proteges and constituents, he should not have made the grievous error of giving publicity to a long list of crimes that challenges, yea surpasses, the horrors of King Leopold of Belgium upon his African subjects. He should have white-washed and polished the entire matter and if any one had dared to give publicity to such demonstrations of savagery, brutality, barbarism and damnable and diabolical Hunnish "kultur"—if Governor Dorsey had been mindful of his future political and even physical career—he would have had summary punishment meted out to any Georgian, white or black, that dared disclose those cruelties, horrors and barbari- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 Superintendent Walter Harris and his corps of teachers had a live sun drenched by a glorious sermon. At 8:36 p.m. the Home Mission sisters debriefed a short and spicy program, after a long day of work. In 10th so everyone will have a chance ties for which Georgia has become famous throughout the civilized world. And if some native of another state had told the truth about those crime committed upon poor, defenseless colored Americans in the "Cracker State," a subpoena should have been issued and said informant brought before the grand jury (which was not in session) in the county that was best qualified to pull off a lynching bee; and to assure the appearance of said informant before some mobocratic body, he should have been placed under a heavy bond. His arrival in the county should have been heralded and proclaimed far and wide by a sensational and "yellow" press and all the preliminary ceremonies, such as getting the oil, rope, kindling, matches, closing the business houses and all the pastors and their congregations dismissing church services to witness the grand and imposing spectacle, should have been executed and then when the culprit, who had such little sense and poor judgment as to make public the heathenish and hellish horrors of Georgia, was brought before the mammoth audience, the governor should have been the one to light the match for ushering in the fireworks. If this program had been followed Governor Dorsey would have ingratiated himself into the hearts of all the Georgia mobocrats, autocrats and hellocrats and his name would have gone down in history as one of the greatest heroes of the sunny Southland. But no! (and here is where the trouble lies) Governor Dorsey dared expose the rotten conditions and intolerable state of affairs existing in Georgia and because he did not apologize for his expose and because his action was so out of keeping and harmony with Southern custom and practices in such matters, he is a curse to his race and a blight upon his state, according to the excoriation, denunciation and condemnation of several Georgians of note. There is an old expression that "the truth hurts sometime," and it seems that in the Georgia case it has scratched the fur the wrong way and a vertitable bedam has broken loose in the champion mobocratic state of the world—barring not even the cannibalistic and heathenish isles of the sea. Undoubtedly Christ was mistaken in his great pronouncement regarding men knowing the truth and the truth making and keeping them free; for the man who dares to tell the truth today and espouses the cause of righteousness in church and state is considered and regarded as a menace and by all the gods, he must be suppressed. If our modern day crusaders and secret advocates and exponents of Hunnish "kultur" and clandestine autocracy and zearism are to suppress the truth and banish from the communities all who incur their wrath and displeasure, then Christ's labors and doctrines have availed mankind nothing and we are of all men most miserable. The Informer, knowing that the wisdom of man is as foolishness compared with God, still stands firm on the "faith once delivered unto the saints" and believes that in due season truth will get a hearing and right will triumph. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make free; and if the truth make you free you are free indeed." Selah! VISIBLE OR "INVISIBLE" GOVERNMENT? Judge Davidson of Beaumont, in issuing his defi and challenge to the "invisible empire" of his town and community, besides performing the oath and obligations of his high and powerful office, has also precipitated an issue or conflict that will bear watching. A white physician had been tarred and feathered and ordered to leave Beaumont by members of an "invisible order," whose orders the medicine obeyed. At the time of his abduction, mistreatment and departure he insisted that he could identify some of his assailants, and Judge Davidson urged the grand jury to make a thorough investigation of the disgraceful episode and indict the guilty misreceans. He sent out word for the physician to return to Beaumont and appear before the grand jury and give his version of the affair, the court stating at the time that he would press both state rangers and the militia into service to protect and safeguard the life of the doctor. The doctor returned to the Oil City, went before the grand jury, according to press reports, and testified and then resumed his practice in said city. It will be interesting to watch developments in this celebrated case, which is the first clash between the visible and "invisible" governments in this part of the country. The manly and courageous stand assumed by Judge Davidson who has been threatened repeatedly for his position in contending that law and order must be supreme, despite the fact that he only did his sworn duty (which in itself is something that no other judge in Texas has had the hardship to do), deserves the commendation of every American citizen who desires to see our constitutional form of government kept intact and inviolate. There is neither room nor necessity for two governments to exist or try to exist in any community in this reputed democratic republic and to contend that an "invisible empire" is necessary to reinforce and support the forces of law and order is an open admission that the courts have outlived their day's usefulness and should be consigned to the scrap pile for forever and anon. If the courts will simply perform their holden duty, there will be no need for any law-enforcing body outside of the proper channel and those who essay to usgarp such autocratic and kaiseristic powers should be made to feel the strong arm of the law. Since the affairs of government are not conducted by our race and since defiance is being flouted in the face of the courts and constitution by men who are not identified with our racial unit, practically nothing is expected of us in rectifying this matter and making more healthy the internal situation; but we can comment those who are bold and valiant enough to challenge these "mysterious knights errants" for a showdown in their nocturnal depredations and clandestine operations. Visible or "invisible" government—which shall be it? --- SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER THE PERISCOPE The other day the "funnies" of Mutt and Jeff fame told the story of the Hon. Mr. Mutt taking his precious little son, Cicero, to the city. Crafty Mutt got by the conductor by telling him that Cicero was "under five." He then, in the course of his daily delights, sought to play a trick on Cicero, and at the same time demonstrate to his offspring what a wonderful man his "daddy" is in the realm of human possibilities. So he takes Cicero's new straw hat slyly from the boy's head, and lets on that the hat flew out the open window. Cicero, very naturally is much distressed, but Sir Mutt comforts the boy by telling him that if he whistles the hat will return to his noble little head. The boy whistles, the hat returns. Well, that was such a clever act that naturally Cicero wanted to see it all over again. So while Daddy Mutt was reading the morning Lilyklux, Cicero himself proceeds to lift his off his head, throws it out the window, in fact, and then proceeds to call on Daddy Mutt to "bring it back." You may imagine the results, and the consternation, to say nothing of that sickening chagrin of the Hon. Mutt, wise man from Borneo. There are a lot of "Mutts" stalking about these days in the field of republican national politics, who seek to fool colored American citizens by their clever tricks, and who seem to think that they can get away with them without being caught. Beware of the Mutts—in politics. The republicans, in part, in a national way, are seeking to "lay with the hare, and run with the hound." There is a bold and brazen attempt to lily white the party in certain sections of the South, and hold fast to the colored voters in such sections of the North where the exigencies of the occasion require certain recognition. Georgia, the state that has Henry Lincoln Johnson as national committeeman, has started with a "Committee of One Hundred," of which Col. Johnson is not a member, and to which, it is reported in press dispatches, subjects of patronage will be referred in that state, and further, according to reports, President Harding has said the arrangements are final, and without further appeal. That is a raw deal, if true and followed up, and is certainly done for no other reason than that Col. Johnson is a colored citizen—and incidentally one of the most popular men in the race. To be consistent, the policy would have to be followed up in all other Southern states, and then it would not be fair, for it eliminates the colored citizens from just consideration. The report of the sub-committee of the republican national committee, in June, on the representation at national conventions, promises, at this hour, to be drastic, and unwholesome. The last step left is for the colored citizens from all over the country to protest directly to the republican national committee, Munsey Building, Washington, D. C., and for the newspapers to reflect the sentiment of the people. Colored Americans are united, and have means of expression as never before. They cannot be fooled and cajoled. Any backward step by the party, or move to further decapitate citizenship will questionably be reflected unfavorably in sections of the North where votes count. This is not a threat; it is not an appeal it is a mere statement of fact. The republican party may have a gang of "Mutts" in it, but among colored Americans these days there are plenty of Ciceros to call the bluffs. "Lincoln would like to have God on his side, but he must have Ken tucky." Thus did some wise wag of the day sum up Lincoln's manifest anxiety during the civil war to keep Ken tucky on the side of the Union. Who ever should master the border, would ultimately win the war. And this border is no less important today in the war between slavery and freedom. Whatever ultimately prevails in this borderland will ultimately prevail throughout our civilization. Jim Crowism and segregation must be ousted from Kentucky and Maryland and excluded from Missouri and West Virginia, all will be lost for generations at best. The evils against these evils must be pitched in this border. If you cannot win Ken tucky, of course you cannot win Mississippi. If you cannot exclude the enemy from Missouri, you cannot oust him from the Delta. to see this wonderful drama. Sister V.

COLORED PEOPLF SHOULD BUY FROM RACE'S ADVERTISERS The Informer wishes to call our people's attention to the fact that there are no not cater to nor care for the colored people's patronage, and when our people not cater to nor care for the colored people's patronage, and when our people not cater to nor care for the colored newspapers and unless you see business places advertising with some demeanor on your papers, stay out of those stores and urge your friends to do likewise. The race's patronage will advertise in colored newspapers, and when they are published by our racial group, it is primal facade evidence that your patronage is not wanted, and it is up to us to make sure that they are not published by them. Too, don't purchase your merchandise in these "holes in the walls" and 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 lagers and more. Read the advertisements in all issues of your race newspapers and then read the advertisements in the proximity by patronizing only those merchants and business institutions that It is a serious reflection upon our force to continue to enrich men who have been deprived of their trade, and if we would only embody the same sacrifices by foregoing such purchases, even if they are in the shape of a business, we throw our support to those merchants who throw our support to the businesses we will be committing an act that will have a lasting effect.

Broke His Promise to Keep Her Secret Marble Above Mrs. Carry Nation's Dust Marble Above Mrs. Carry Nation's Dust Gotham Smart Set Going Into Business CHICAGO.—Mrs. William Sweeney of 114 North Paulina street, who had shot and wounded her husband, was freed on $1,500 ball after being in custody about two hours. "Well, he's my husband," she explained to the Warren avenue police. "I can shoot him if I want to. What do you want here? Be on your way. I guess the Sweeneys can take care of their own affairs." "Everything is all right, officers," said Bill, weakly. "I'm not badly wounded. She just shot me because I wouldn't let her curve me up with a butcher knife. I don't want her arrested. All I ask is to get me to a hospital." The police took Sweeney to the hospital and his wife to the police station. In about two hours the telephone rang. "Lieutenant, this is Attorney James O'Brien," said a voice. "You are not MINNABAPOLIS—That a husband's solemn promise, made during courtship, to keep secret his wife's identity, had been broken to gain his ends in a divorce suit was charged by Mrs. Velva Vanderburg against William Wade, made a lengthy deposition was made in a lengthy deposition from London, where the wife is now living. The indiscretion, she adduces in the deposition, caused the affair before their marriage February 2, 1915, in London, and she says she promised on his honor not to violate the affair before their marriage. He expressed sympathy for her girlhood error, and begged her to marry him in spite of her earlier infatuation and the fact that a child had been beaten. Admission of the indictment came when, among questions submitted for Mrs. Vanderburg to answer by deposition, was included one asking politically related questions. The deposition of Mrs. Vanderburg is supported by affidavits submitted by her mother, Mrs. Sarah Gentle; a friend, Catherine Edward Dynke; and a friend, Edward Catherine Dynke. CARRIE NATION B ELTON, MO.—About two years before her death, Mrs. Carry A. Nation wrote: “Some day I will lie under the shade of a tree, and I want these words on the marble above my dust: ‘She hath done what she could.’” For nearly ten years the long famous saloon smusher has lain under the shade of a tree, but as yet there is no marble above her dust. But for the white painted pine-board at the head one would not know that anybody is buried beneath the greensward, for the earth is not mounded. The board, about fifteen inches high and a foot wide, bears the name “Carrle A. Nation” in thin lines of black paint. NEW YORK—The fad of having a job is society's all-absorbed idea. The latest of Driven daughters to the industry, Lydia Hoyt, who has signed a contract to appear in motion pictures, she is no pioneer from the social mukus in the industry. She blazed before her by not a few of her own set. Emphasized, Briated, for instance takes her place at her desk in the offices of a well-known magazine each morning promptly at nine.

Attorney O'Brien informed him. "She shot in self-defense. Look at the scratches on her." "But your honor, I understand she tried to knife him. put in the assistant stalker's arm. I don't die. We ask her immediate discharge." It was agreed that Mrs. Sweeney be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Mrs. Sweeney and her husband are arrested for disorderly conduct. Mrs. Sweeny was home in time to prepare supper for her husband. "What's the good word, BILL?" he was asked. "Don't talk back to your wife," said Dr. Godreau De Baux Turtle. The depositions were taken by Joaslyn Branford the Minnesota commissioner of Burlock, England. The Vanderburghs were married in London as the culmination in a romance which began in Switzerland and the Minnesota man was touring Europe. After the separation less than two years later, the husband began two divorces and in 1920. The latter was dismissed and it is upon the former that the case is to be heard. Vanderburgh is a son of former Judge William H. Vanderburgh of the State Supreme court. He is an attorney and has been an unsuccessful candidate for the Supreme court. He is sixty years of age and his wife thirty- Even that is a typographical error, so to speak. Mrs. Nation insisted that she carry "Carry" her middle initial was A, but she wrote it without the period, thus making her full name appear thus: "Carry". Which, by the way, was exactly what Mrs. Nation wanted to do and tried to do—carry a duty against the mob. She did not carry a grave here in the little town cemetery of Belfon, one wonders just what she would say, and what she would do, she could return in the flesh and find Americas saloons and her own grave.

She has been a good friend to Lady Diana Manners and one or two other noted English women have acted for the screen and some American actors can appear on the legitimate stage.

CLARK & STEPHENS --- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 JAPANESE COLLEGE BASEBALL TEAM INTERNATIONAL The Wassela university, Tokio baseball team photographed on their departure from Tokyo for Hondau and the United States. They are making a tour of the United States, playing the best of the American college nines. Pitchers Using Moist Ball Have Not Been Invincible. Yankee Hurler Decries Abolishment of Spit Ball and Says Arguments Against It Are Not Sound—Walsh Was Effective. “The spit ball,” declares Jack Quinn slowly, “is no more a freak delivery than the curve ball.” The Yankee pitcher, an exponent of the spit ball, soon to be extinct, seems to be sincere in his belief that it is all right. He decries its abolishment and holds that there is no good objection to it. “It is no more a freak delivery than the curve ball,” he repeated, “not a bit more. It never hurt anybody, and no spit ball ever was invincible. Those are the objections raised against it by the baseball people, and not one of the arguments is sound. “There never was an invincible spitball pitcher, never one to threaten the extermination of the hitter, which bugaboo was raised against the spitball pitcher. The nearest to invincible we ever had was Ed Walsh, but Pitcher Jack Quinn of New York Yankees. not one of the other pitchers of that delivery was as good as Walsh or as threatening to the hitter's chances of making a good hitting average. Few will disagree with Quinn that Walsh was the most effective of all pitchers who used the saliva ball, which he did with great efficiency and workings of the delivery better than anybody else and who came nearer to making it sell effectively, effective pitchers were master of it, though there may be those who maintain that Corsieke is almost, if not quite, as expert as Walsh. Burleigh Grimes also ranks high as to skill with the wet fling, but he uses it a great deal, whereas Dick Rudolph and the disgraced Cronte were quite adept at it, but he uses it as much. They employed it more in conjunction with other deliverers. Urban Shocker has as puzzling a spit up as Walsh, and he describes quirks as Chesher's ball players say, but he tilts a good deal with it. He uses a ball ball often when it is used, and uses the two as part of effective strategy. Quinn is using the curve ball himself some, newdays. When his spiritball is operating to suit Dook is effective, but he is unmild. FIXED FOR PINCH SLUGGERS Manager McBride of Washington Haze Nifty Bunch on Bench to Select Hitters From.

Browning his story as a Universal Jewel feature at a cost run of $100,000 of thousands of dollars, and the film is said to give ample evidence of the expenditure, by the beauty and lavishness of its production. The locale is San Francisco, and several blocks of the Bay City's underworld were reproduced at Universal City at a cost of $90,000. An apartment house on Knob Hill, the modern palace of a banker, and the splendid oriental in the year and second floor of a bazaar are some of the more extensive settings. The story of "Outside the Law" concerns the struggles of a little group of crooks to free themselves from the shackles of crime and live the life they desire. In the they are the warriors of the criminal justice, a vengeful figure of the half world, who resents respectability. In the back ground, and yet the dominant personality of this drama is an old heathen philosopher, whose ideas of right and wrong are based on no political status and are based on a justice-justice justice-justice justice "outside the law." Priscila Dean is said to be at her dramatic best in this, her first picture since "The Virgin of Stambault," while Lon Chaney has a dual role which outliness anything in his career of crime and difficult screen imperations.

This question will be answered at the LINCOLN THEATRE Sunday, Monday and Tuesday June 5-6-7 THEATRE y and Tuesday 5-6-7 LINCOLN THEATRE Sunday, Monday and Tuesday June 5-6-7 This is one of Farnum's greatest films, being the story of a man's heroic struggle for love of a selfish wife; a tale of love that survives even death; the story of a domestic tragedy in which love finally wins the day; a romance of happiness wrecked upon the reef of vanity and ambition; a drama that proves self-seeking ambition's "less than littleness." Should a wife seek a career of her own or should she help her husband along the road to success? Can a woman find happiness in a career if she separates herself from husband and child and abandons their love? These questions will be answered in "His Greatest Sacrifice"—see it for yourself. PHONE PRESTON 1995 O. P. DeWALT, Prop-Mgr. PAGE EIGHT Farnum Here In Big Domestic Photodrama Followers of William Farnum—and they are legion—will find fine entertainment in his latest picture, "His Greatest Sacrifice," which shows at the Lincoln Theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, June 5, 6, 7. In this movie, Mr. Farnum has been a great asset to the screen, stands out more clearly than usual. He has a big dramatic part as the successful writer whose wife leaves him and their child so that she can give all her time to her own advancement on the operatic stage. "His Greatest Sacrifice" brings up a question quite common in modern times—should a wife have a career that interferes with the welfare of her husband, her home and her child? The question is answered in telling fashion in the photoplay. Still, those who watch the movie "It" makes stirring drama and pulls hard at the heartstrings. Reports from the William Fox studio in New York state that Mr. Farnum took more personal interest in the making of this picture than in any other, with the possible exception of two Cities and two Miserables. Each day in his dressing room he went over the scene by scene with his director, J. Gordon Edwards, acting out every point on which there was any slight difference of opinion and finally getting all to a state where he and Mr. Edwards agreed they would be most effective. Mr. Edwards agreed to Mr. Piot that in this picture there is food for thought for married and single alike, for men and boys as well as for women and girls. At Ideal Theatre Tot Browning's original drama of "the underworld," "Outside the Law," comes to the Ideal Theater next Thursday and Friday, June 3 and 10 with Priscilla Dean in the stellar role, Lon Chaney, Wheeler Oakman, K.

Chicago, Ill.—A verdict awarding Ada Dozier, 3515 Federal Street, a colored woman, damages of $2300 against the city of Chicago, was returned by a jury of white men in Superior Court before Judge Samuel Stough last Friday. This was the first of thirty-eight damage cases against the city originating in the race riots of July, 1919, to be tried. Of the veniume selected all were white except Ellis Thompson of 6220 S. Morgan街, who was rejected by assistant state's attorney representing the city. It was brought out at the trial that during the rioting a committee had waited on Mayor Thompson and been assured of ample police protection.

The Gassers were not in it with the buffs, who put up a stellar exhibition, and they posted in every game of the series and won the series practically hands down. Sunday the Gassers could not fathom the slants, benders and shoots of Pitcher Jackman and the Buffs were returned winners by the score of 9 to 1. Tuesday the Gassers did the receiving in grand style. Monday "Black" Alexander hurled a masterly game, while Carrington caught another great game, the Buffs winning 6 to 2. Tuesday the Gassers' battery consisted of Evans and Williams, and while the game abounded in plenty of hitting by two sides, Houston won by a score of 9 to 7. The games in Shreveport were very poorly attended, there hardly being any defense, and start a fuss with the peanut vender. Secretary Homer E. McCoy of the Black Hair witnessed the Sunday and Monday games and, while he was immediately pleased with the victories on the diamond, he was sadly disappointed with the receipts at the ticket window.
