"DEATH FARM" BOSS GETS 99 YEARS WILEY UNIVERSITY HAS CLOSED MEMORABLE SCHOLASTIC YEAR; DR. DOGAN HEAD FOR 25 YEARS DR. C. V. ROMAN, IN HAMPTON ADDRESS, SAYS "GREAT EMERGENCY EXISTS;" RACES SEEKING NEW CLASSIFICATION 7c PER COPY EVERYWHERE VOL. III. "DEA" WILEY UNIVERSIT MEMORABLE SC DR. DOGAN HI (By Staff Correspondent.) Marshall, Texas, June 6.—Willey University, the well-known institution of learning for colored youths, situated in the southwestern part of this city closed what many conceded the most memorable year in its history last week. The scholastic year, 1920-21 was characterized by increased efficiency in every phase of the work while the commencement exercises were of a high order and the addresses delivered to the various graduating classes were of unusual brilliancy and profound thought. The class graduating from the University High School was addressed by Rev. E. W. Kinchen, district superintendent, New Orleans District, Louisiana conference. The classes finishing from the industrial departments taught in King home, were addressed by Mrs. W. H. Logan, Houston. Particular mention should be made of the splendid address made to the class finishing from the school of commerce by Hon. John Rice, A. M., editor of the Dallas Express. The normal or teacher training class consisting of 18 young women was scheduled to be addressed by Bishop I. B. Scott, Nashville, Tenn. Bishop Scott found at the last moment that he could not be present and Dr. W. J. King, Ph. D., Professor of Old Testament and Sociology at Gammon Theological Seminary, was pressed into service. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. E. C. Wehrly Cincinnati, Ohio. The annual musical under the management of Professor Dennis, director, was well up to the standard. College of Liberal Arts. On Wednesday morning, June 1st, the graduating exercises of the College of Liberal Arts Department took place. The following young men and women received their diplomas and had the bachelor's degree conferred upon them: Charles N. Atkinson, Greenville; Madora G. Bryant, Marshall; Esther Boswell, "Cum Laude," Dallas; Bill R. Boswell, Dallas; Mimie V. Caruthers, "Magna cum Laude," Hubbard; Ladine Mitchell, "Cum Laude," Houston; Samuel J. Murphy, Cooledge; Clara Robinson, Waco; Julia A. Hibber, "Cum Laude," Yicksburg; Missy L. Leroy, R. Simmons, "Cum Laude," Harleton; Mary J. Speed, Jefferson; Carrie Sykes, Marshall. The ranking member of the class was Miss Mamie V. Caruthers of Hubbard, Texas, who graduated with "Magna Cum Laude." The address of the class was made by Dr. P. C. Wareling, editor Christian Advocate, Cincinnati, Ohio; subject "The University of Adversity." Celebrate Dr. Logan's 25th Anniversary. Immediately following the graduating exercises of the college of Liberal Arts, what proved to be the most popular occasion of the commencement, took place—exercises celebrating the 25th anniversary of the presidency of Dr. M. W. Dogan. Dr. J. O. Williams, vice president of the board of trustees, was master of ceremonies and the RACES SEEKING (By WM. ANTHONY AERY). Hampton, Va.—A great emergent exists. Races, nations, peoples and individuals are coming up for a new classification opportunity which is in front of you" Dr. Charles Victor Roman of Nashville, Tenn., well-known eye ear, nose and throat specialist in the Methair Medical College, throw this challenge in his recent address on "Meeting Laws for the Health of the Hampton Institute commencement. Dr. Roman emphasize the value of good cheer, adaptability modesty, personality and character Victues of Civilization. "By this time," said Dr. Roman, "you have developed the four fundamental virtues of civilization—to behave yourselves, to work, to think, and to love God and your country. If you have not learned these virtues you have missed education. If you are possessed of these virtues, then add alertness, decision, courage, steadiness and faith. You must also have physical stamina. Whatever you are going to do, you must do before you leave this world. Be healthy, virtuous, strong." THE HOUSTON INFORMER principal address was made by Dr. W. J. King, Ph. D., an outstanding alumnus of Wiley. In an address quite one hour long and in fond and tender words well-chosen, Dr. King reviewed the magnificent and beneficient works of President Dogan during the 25 years he (Dr. Dogan) had been president of Wiley. The address of Dr. King was warmly and frequently applauded and it was evident to every one present that the board of trustees, the alumni and friends of Wiley were deeply grateful for the marvelous and unselfish works of their beloved president. The address was closed with the presentation to President Dogan of a check for $1,000, donated by the board of trustees, friends and alumni. President Dogan has been elected a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference, London, England, Sept 6-11, and this money is to defray his expenses. Truetees Commend School. The trustees in annual session, after having looked closely into the affairs of the University, passed resolutions couched in terms of highest praise for the work of the faculty. The experience was made to improved scholarship, accurate records and academic affairs in general under the efficient leadership of the dean, dean of College of Liberal Arts. Enlarged Faculty Increased. Three new teachers will be added to the College faculty for the session beginning in October, with a total of eight professors devoting full time to College work. Substitutional equipment will also be added to the laboratories of chemistry, biology, and physics, which will give Wiley the finest laboratories of any school for our people in this sect. The new faculty will be added to books for collateral reading to be added to the stock in the University. The Summer School. Wiley University is now open on forty-eight weeks in the year.

Jones, New Orleans, delivered the dedicatory address to the cedule reflectory and prepares us to be the head of the church of which he is the president. This distinguished prelate was cynosure of all eyes, before the first mass on Sunday. "There are four commandments which sum up my philosophy of life—'Know myself,' 'Control myself,' 'Deny myself,' 'Respect myself.'" Adaptability an Asset "The chief advantage of an education is the opportunity which it affords one to profit by the experience of others. The mechanical contrivances of the automobile and the flying machine represent the accumulated traction of experience. The greatest tragedy of civilization is the inability of one group or age to profit by the mental and moral experiences of other groups and other ages. "To call this an age of specialization is a misnomer. It is an age of change. The historian Wells truly describes the great tragedy of proper remedy. Wells says: "The trained man the specialized man is the most unfortunate of men. The world has passed him behind and he has lost his power of overtaking it. Veratility, alert adaptability—these are our greatest needs. We must adapt ourselves to a changing age and such changes come upon us unaware. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE11, 1921 "TO YOUR TENTS, O ISRAEL!" The above words were uttered to the children of Israel when their ranks were about to be torn asunder by two aspirants for kingly honors, Jeroboam and Rehoboam, when the Jewish hosts had gathered at Shechem to select a king in the days of sacred history as recorded in the books of Kings. The history of this expression is familiar to not a few. This was the cry of a mutinous people, long groaning under tyranny and oppression. Rehoboam had succeeded King Solomon as the regal head of the country. The people had respectfully asked for relief from burdensome taxation and unjust oppression and repression. Their petitions were treated with scorn, the new king foolishly declaring that he would make their burdens heavier. Sheisms, factions and tribal hatred and antipathy had arisen among God's chosen people and when a conflict seemed imminent over the choice of a ruler and when King Rehoboam became hard-boiled and sought to rule with an iron hand and impose heavier burdens upon his people than his predecessor, the Israel contingent, supporters of Jeroboam, exclaimed the words of our text: "To your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unhindered." There is a great lesson to be learned from this Biblical incident and because of the times in which we live and the hard-boiled, autocratic and kaiserian means employed by those promoted to offices of trust and power and their continual winking at and condoning of acts of lawlessness by members of their own tribe or race, this scriptural admonition is very appropriate and timely and deserves praise by our people during his crucial period of construction, readjustment and realignment. Rebohoob, the cruel and heartless king, was beheaded by Jeroboam and his followers to lighten their burdens; to give them justice, fair play and a square deal; to rectify and righten the grievous wrongs perpetrated upon the king's father; to ensure safety and safeguard theirtection around each member of their tribe; to rule impartially and justly; to not arrogate unto himself powers never intended for a ruler to employ; to discard his haughty and arrogant attitude and his seeming contempt and disrespect for his fellowmen of the house of Israel. He was incarved in pride and stiffened and intoxicated by his high and powerful office (and Rebohoob was not and is not alone in this respect), this kaiser and autocrat paid no heed to those who had the best interests of his country and people at heart, but rather listened to and obeyed that element that had sinister designs and evil intents, eager and desirous of precipitating civil disobedience and bloody carriage. When Jeroboam and his peace-loving and law-abiding adherents saw that Rebohoob and his mobocratic and blood-thirsty devotees were itching for a fight and when a clash seemed inevitable, it was then that Israel, in the language of our text, was ordered back to their tents. Under ordinary circumstances, as long as Israel remained in their tents there was hardly a need for a safety and going further—judging from the fact that Rebohoob finally lost his throne and Jeroboam succeeded him—Jehovah hovered over and protected Israel as long as they retained their residence in their tents and sought to raise no disturbance nor precipitate a nasty situation. Paraphrasing the words of our text, we will hear Jeroboam and his tents, 9 Eo Ethiopia; now see to thine own house, we proud Anglo-Saxon race."1 Permit us to translate or construe the expression of "to your tents" as an admonition or command to get back to God; to get in closer touch and fellowship and secure a more intimate acquaintance with Jehovah; to keep his precepts diligently and "walk in His ways," permitting Him to direct our path and control our every action; to commit our way of life, also in Him and will bring it to pass." Let us take a glance at sacred and profane history and see what happened to those empires, cities, races and people that forgot God; that grew fat, lazy, greedy, avaricious, haggy, arrogant and sought to perpetuate themselves by human strength and carnal weapons. "The Jews were God's chosen and select people, but when they "left their tents," figuratively speaking, oppression and suffering were their bitter lot and often were they afforded an opportunity to repent "in sackcloth and in ashes." By returning to our tents we prove to the world that we desire to be peaceful and law-abiding and that despite the fact that a raw and rotten deal is generally our portion in this country, and especially this section of our boasted "democratic" republic, Ethiopia, like Israel in our text, will raise no rumpus; will instigate no civil disorders and will maintain the utmost respect for law and order. "Back to your tents and cease to talk to blame much, but "rest in the Lord, and wait patiently (not giving to doctility nor covardice) for Him; fret not of himself of that prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass; for evil-doers shall be cut off; but that those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth." Going further, this same passage of the Psalms declares: "For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be: thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek (the law-abiding, God-fearing, those who walk circumspectly before God and who treat all men as their brothers) shall inherit the abundance of peace." "Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" for the Holy Writ says: "The wicked plotter against the just, and grasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have been beaten, pierced, rotted, and have died, and to slay such as be of upright conversation (those who contend with might and main against unrighteousness in church and state, condemning all organizations and practices not in keeping with God's inspired word and the written law of the land). Their (the wicked) sword shall enter into their own hearts (God have mercy upon our American brothers, and whatsofs) and their bows shall be broken." The parenthetical expressions are ours, but the others are quoted verbatim from the Bible, showing that if we will only return to our tents; serve God in spirit and in truth; all out back biting, tattling, pimping, lying, malice, hatred, gossip, and lay aside all weights that impede our journey in the race of life, God will not only fight our battles, but He will also use us for the salvation of mankind and the redemption of ours. "Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and beo unto him that attempts to force his way into same by means of force and external aggression. In our tents there is peace and joy; brotherly love and due respect for constituted authority. But there can be no returning to our tents unless our forces are organized and we have due regard and respect for leadership selected by our own race and not one superimposed upon us by others. We strategically to our tents, there will be no cause nor necessity for temperate and hot-headed speech nor the carrying around of a chip on our shoulders. "Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and while others chase off after strange and defiled gods, let us and our house serve the Lord God of Ethiopia; provoke no disturbances and being within our tents, if attacked the responsibility for same and the direful consequences will rest upon our attackers and not upon us. Return to our tents as Israel did in the lesson aided hereinbefore, the danger of an inter-claustral clash, so devoidly desired, apparently, by members of the other race (since this seems to be their chief topic of conversation) will be obviated, and we shall be strengthened to "carry on" for civic and political righteousness. "Back to your tents, O Ethiopia!" and we be unto him who pitches his tent opposite yours to engage you in heavy combat; as for dwellers of the tent you shall be advanced and the final triumph. Our grant that it may be said of us, like of Israel: "So Ethiopia departed unto their tents." Life Sentence For Manning Special to The Informer.

Covington, Ga.—The trial of Clyde Manning, Negro farm boss, employed on the farm of John S. Williams, white farmer, in superior court here, resulted in the jury returning a verdict of murder with recommendations for mercy, the same verdict that was returned several weeks ago by the jury trying the charges against Williams. Manning testified that he aided Williams in killing more than fourteen farm hands—all Negroes—to halt an investigation on peonage charges, which was instituted by the government. Attorney E. Marvin Underwood, prominent white attorney of Atlanta, employed by a group of white Georgians to defend Manning, made a heroic effort in behalf of his client. Following the verdict of the jury, which was returned in thirty-five minutes, Mr. Underwood immediately entered a motion for a new trial. Judge John B. Hutcheson fixed the hearing for July 30 at Decatur. Williams also is seeking a new trial. Manning was tried on the specific charge of the murder of Lindsey Peterson, of whose murder Williams was convicted, and today he clearly recited the story he told at the Williams trial, claiming that he and another Negro killed eleven farm hands on Williams' orders. Later Manning claims to have slain the other Negro. Peterson and two other Negroes were alleged to have been brought into this county at night from the Jaasper County farm and drowned. Under Georgia law Manning could not have been held accountable had he been able to convince the jury he killed the men through fear for his own life and the defense based its case on this, while the state sought to show the Negro was a "willing accomplice." Manning told the jury he killed the other Negroes "because Mr. Johnny told me to," and Mr. Underwood pleaded that Manning was "merely a tool in the hands of a driving force" and urged his acquittal. Special General Brand and former Congressman Howard pleaded for conviction, the solicitor contending that Manning as "boss" on the farm carried a pistol and that he acted not "through fear, but to gain favor of Williams."

LESSON FOR JUNE 12 **MAKING THE WORLD CHRISTIAN.** LITERARY TEXT: 11:30-16; Act 1:6-9 GENERAL TEXT: 11:30-16; Act 1:6-9 full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the REPRESENTATIVE MATHEMATICAL: Ether 4:18; Procl. 32:11; Prov. 19:38 THE WORLD TOPIC: What Jesus Did for the World **CREATE AND ADJUST TOPIC** **Hiding to Make a Better World** **YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC** **CHRISTIAN Partisans.** **If by "Making the World Christian"** the lesson committee means the con- ference by the preaching of the gospel, then we submit that they are in error, leading the people into false hopes. The minit text chosen for our study is the Gospel of John, when Christ reign over the whole earth. Before this will take place Christ shall come in person and de- scribe the gospel, and cast him into the pit (Ger. 19:11:21) II Thess. 2:3(10) 1. The Reign of the Mishnah the King 1. Mishnah the lineage (v. 1). 1. Mishnah the lineage (v. 1). It was to be of David's line-royal stock. A red or wag was to come out of Jude, which indicates the royal house 2. Messiah's qualification (v. 2), (1) The Spirit of the Lord, that is, a divine person proceeding from the earth, that is, to choose that which will bring, giving insight into all things human and divine. (3) Spirit of understanding, that is to choose that which will bring, giving insight into all things human and divine. (3) Spirit of ability to make plans. (5) Spirit of might, that is, the ability to execute His plans. (6) Spirit of knowledge in His plans. (7) The god of God in all things. (7) The fear of the Lord, that is, reversal and obedient fear. (1) The character of Messiah (v.2-5), (1) Quick to understand goodness (v. 2). (2) He shall not judge after external appearances (v. 3). (3) Shall be able to judge after external appearances (v. 3). Shall be able to be decided upon on the basis of absolute and perfect knowledge. (4) He shall defend and average the earth. (5) The need shall inherit the earth when Messiah reigns (Matt. 5.5), (5) Shall smash the earth (v. 2). Those whom Jesus will deliver are then in federation against Christ. The head of this federation is the Antichrist (2 Thess. 2.8), (6) He shall have a zeal for justice and righteousness. 4. Universal peace (vv. 69). This is a picture of the glorious golden age of which poets have sung and for which the wise men of all ages have longed and looked. There will then be peace not only between men, but between animals. This peace and harmony is shown in that in each change suggested each animal is coupled with its natural prey. (1) The wolf shall dwell with the lamb (v. 6). (2) The man should receive the wolf into its home. The only place and circumstance at present in which the wolf and lamb dwell together is when the lamb is inside the wolf. (2) The leopard shall be down with the kid (v. 6). (3) The calf, young lion, and fatfell shall be together (v. 6). They are so gentle and peaceable that a little child can lead them. (4) The cow and the bear shall feed together (v. 7). (5) The lion shall eat straw (v. 7), no longer flesh. (6) The sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp (v. 8). The most venomous serpent shall not harm little children. This blessed condition shall prevail over the whole earth (v. 9). 5. All nations shall gather unto him (vv. 10-12). The glorious reign of Christ shall attract the Gentile nations. This is the full purpose of the kingdom, namely, to attract the nations of the earth to Jesus Christ. 11. The Supreme Obligation of Belivers in This Age (Acts 1:9-9). While we are not responsible for bringing in the kingdom, we are under solemn obligation to witness of the salvation which is graciously provided for all who will believe on Christ. 1. The dispeies question (v. 6). They were prepleded as to the time of the kingdom's establishment. They were right in the expectation of the kingdom, but were still in darkness as to the real purpose of God in calling the church. 2. Christ's answer (v. 7, 8). He turned their attention from the desire to know times and seasons, which belong to God, to their supreme duty. They were to be witnesses of Christ to the aftermost parts of the earth, beginning at Jerusalem. The Gleanings. When ye roup the harvest of your land, then shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt them gather the gleamings of thy harvest. Then shalt leave them for the poor, and stranger. I am the Lord, your God.—Leviticus 19:9, 10. Walketh in Darkness. He that butch his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.—I John 2:11.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921 Old Holzapfel's Jar of Peaches By HAZEL SMITH. (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union) People said that old Rogers was a miser, but that statement was incorrect. Rogers had been a miser. He had scraped and hoarded during thirty years of labor, so that now, though he was barely fifty years of age, he looked older. But Rogers had retired three months before, thanks to some wisely made investments, and now, with fifteen thousand dollars at his disposal, he was still living on in his little two-room that on the East side of New York, and trying to stretch his cramped imagination and plan his life anew. Bitterly he regretted that he was an old bachelor without a friend or wife, sweetheart or child. Rogers had gone to the delicatessen store of his acquaintance, Holzapfel, to buy something for supper. He cooked his own supper upon a tiny stove in his apartment. “I think,” he said after he had made his purchases, “that I’ll take some preserved fruit.” “Why, Rogers, you’re becoming a spendthrift, a regular spendthrift,” said Holzapfel jestingly. Rogers patronized the old German from long habit. "Well, I've got some preserved peaches," said the old yellow. "But they wasn't put up yesterday. I bought them. They're home grown, and they're worth twenty-five—if they was fresh." Rogers took the peaches and walked out of the store. The peaches were bad. But that wasn't going to do with the case. For inside the jar was a little folded square of oiled paper. And in this was a folded piece of paper on which was written: Larry Morrell, Egan, N. Y. That compensated old Rogers for the loss of the peaches. It was one of those little harmless primes played into bottles of fruit preserved by them and destined to long distances and into strangers' hands. Often they led to correspondence and sometimes into bottles of fruit preserved by them and destined to long distances and into strangers' hands. He could not remember anyone in Egan named Morrell. But that evening the loneliness of his pig oppressed his appetite, and the paper in the bottle made him houseick for the little town. In the end he sat down and wrote: "Lacy Morrell! I found your note in my peaches." Days passed; old Rogers resumed the tenor of his life. He had not met any of his friends from his surroundings. But about a week later the postman left a letter in his box. It was the first he had to write to his friends and bills. It was addressed to him in a delicate, feminine writing, and inside he read, "I got your letter, but you didn't say how you liked the peaches." That was the beginning of a correspondence, and it brought a new happiness into old Roger's heart. He had asked for her photograph, but she had not sent it, nor alluded to it. She wrote less often. But one day she came a despairing note in which she confessed something perilously like the death of her brother, that he had no alternative. So he wrote back, a wild letter such as he would not have been capable of a response. Then a week passed, and then her answer came, and it said simply: "Come up to Egan. The third use of the word." On that same afternoon old Rogers drew his money from the bank. Then he wrote a letter forever and set forth for Egan. He reached the little place at five on an autumn afternoon. It had not been a long time since he descended at the depot and walked slowly toward the cottage. So he passed through the latticed gate and looked at the gourmet-looking lady of about forty years opened to him. "I am James Rogers," said the wife of the man. "I will come to see your daughter." He said the last word with a tone of interruption. Yet he felt sure that this was Lucy's mother, and she would have expected Lucy to have. And yet it was strange that she had never mentioned her in her letters, and Lucy Morrell," she said, trembling. Old Rogers looked at her incredulously, and then took her in his arms and kissed her. That he loved her the more truly because she brought to him a mind仁 repaired by experience and had learned the deeper for the passing of the years. And she had feared as he had feared, when the correspondence, begun in less than a year, came out. His letter had “But there’s one thing I can’t understand, dearest,” she said that over the years. “Why did you write your name on the paper and put in the bottle of peaches? I could imagine that you were a girl. “My dear,” she answered, smiling. “I bottled those peaches 20 years ago. I remember being excused.

PAGE THREE COLORED PEOPLF SHOULD BUY FROM RACE'S ADVERTISERS SUBSCRIBERS, TAKE NOTICE! --- --- Whenever a blue X appears on your paper or wrapper, it means you are subscribing, and unless you result at once your paper will be discontinued. This is a postal rule and regulation with which all papers are accepted. The Informer wishes to call our people's attention to the fact that there are several stores in Houston that do not cater to new care for the colored people's patronage, and when our people are in need, we are particularly given a "coat shoulder." Again, don't ask us to continue sending the paper when we owe you for same. It takes money to make our wheels turn. To avoid this called for humiliation and unnecessary embarrassment, peruse the columns of your colored pages, and find the places advertising with some degree of regularity and consistency in store names and urge your friends Furthermore, don't ask us to put your name on our subscription list with that "I-pay-you-in-a-few-day" tag. You can pay for it with paid CASH IN ADVANCE. Any store that desires and appreciates the race's patronage will advertise the race, and they do not advertise in paper pub lished by our racial group, it is primal evidence that your patronage is genuine. We ourselves conspicuous by our absence practice the doctrine of business reciprocity by patronizing only those merchants and business institutions that we trust. 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 endorse few sacrifices by foregoing such purchases, even if they are in our interest, and throw our support to those merchants who are our race's enterprises we will be committing an act that will have a positive effect. Then, too, don't purchase your merchants in these "holes in the walls" and 341 plato, who like the Good Seal, 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 incurses and mercantile hogs. Read the advertisements in all issues of your newspaper and then race to continue to enrich men who do not care a rap for nor appreciate our trade, and if we would only enjoy a little area matter and make a few sacrifices by foresoing such purchases, even if we are in the shade of barracks, and go elsewhere and throw our support to those merchants who throw some of their support to race's enterprises we will be committing an act that will be having a threefold blessing.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921. "WHERE IS THE OLD LAW, ANYHOW?" "WHERE IS THE OLD LAW, ANYHOW?" The above interrogation, so often uttered in contempt of the constituted authority, is more serious than upon the surface seems evident. The regrettable and disgraceful race riot at Tulsa last week is the culmination of a reign of lawlessness in this country without parallel or precedent in the annals of civilized man. Respect for law and order, like the hoop skirts worn by the women years ago, is a thing of the past, and to make bad matters worse, men, who boast of their "Americanism," "superiority" and "Christianity," are now insidiously trying to overthrow their own government by the operation of orders and organizations diametrically opposed and antagonistic to the supremacy of the law. It does not take a seer to see where such a program will ultimately lead to and what awful and irreparable damage will be sustained by this increasing disrespect for law and order. The Informer, far removed from the scene of the domestic disturbance in Oklahoma, is not attempting to fix the guilt upon this person or that person; but it does know that the widespread reign of lawlessness in this country is wholly and solely responsible for the inter-racial conflict, and unless something is done immediately to create respect for law and order and put an end to ruthless mob violence, the days of this republic are numbered. Press reports stated that whit s formed to lynch a colored youth incarcerated for an alleged "attack" upon a white girl in Tulsa, and that the colored citizens gathered to prevent a lynching bee, which is the scourge and curse of America. If these reports are correct, both races were at fault and since one contingent was bent upon taking the law into its own hands and meting out punishment according to its own ideas and as the other group was determined to prevent such a disgraceful stunt by resorting to lawlessness also—giving due recognition to racial prejudice, antipathy and hatred—a clash was inevitable, thus with the police and constabulary officers conspicuous by their absence. And why were these police officers absent in such a situation? It is the same old story of them being conveniently absent in order that the mob could do its dirty and diabolical work and thus the identity of the mobocratic participants could not be established. It is the same old game resorted to so much in the South when colored people are the objects and victims of the wrath of hellish and heathenish mobs. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SAYURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921 The colored man is an apt pupil and he has been a willing student of the white man for several hundred years in this country. The colored Americans have seen how easy it is for white men to float defiance in the face of the law and do as they please under any and all circumstances; they have also watched the trend of events and noted the inefficiency of the law when it comes to protecting the lives and safeguarding the interests of colored citizens; they have about lost faith in the American white man's sense of justice and fair play and after carefully weighing the matter and in line with the race's usual policy of imitating the white man in so many things of a superficial and destructive nature, it was not to be unexpected that such depredations could longer continue without some reprisals or striking back. Exhaustive investigations, long-winded invectives and fiery editorials; excoriation and denunciation of "agitators," "radicals" and "trouble-makers"; purchasing of machine guns and high-powered rifles and other weapons for taking of human life cannot aid the situation one hit, but rather intensify and aggravate it. As long as this country maintains a double standard of citizenship and as long as lawlessness among whites is condoned, encouraged, aided and abetted, this country is going to witness such disturbances as the one just enacted in Tulsa. THE DISGRE (From the Proof, matchless Tulsa comes this day, and with head bowed, we sincerely hope, with deep relief the great offense some of her city Wednesday morning. There is not a man worthy or贪婪 against that which he positional of the fact, permitted the vandal, permitted themselves to it if he ever received in his history the token that he had plunged the plume infamy. Language is incapable of against the community a powerless the indignity one trolling their passions and their it is true that the pride of race in the veins of every nation were at all possible, to condone and night, when the streets raged tormenting of hate-impetuited arming themselves and visiting said for those who respond to The colored man is law-abiding to the core and his endurance of injustice and inequalities is the wonder of the ages; but a new generation is rising that is receiving the same training and thinking just like all other American citizens and unless a reign of law and order is instituted and unless men are taught and forced to respect the law of the land, inter-racial clashes, like lynch law, will become chronic. The spirit of the South is to suppress and oppress rather than uplift and elevate the colored race and then when a few of our group imitate their white brothers by raising the devil, the entire race is lambasted and threatened. The citizenship of the South is entirely too ignorant and vicious, no race excluded, to live in peace and harmony and until symmetrical education and genuine Christianity have imbedded themselves in the hearts and actuate the lives of all races in Dixie, there is going to be hell to pay with internal disturbances. Let's get back to law and order and a constitutional government. Let us enforce the law against all violators and infractors and thereby create a strong sentiment against lawlessness which is now on a rampage in this country. Let's have law enforcement or let's abish all laws and revert to the age of the "survival of the fittest" and brute force. We are going to have one or the other; it is a physical and political impossibility to maintain both at the same time, and it is up to the authorities and those in power to either save or hasten the disintegration of this republic. Here is fine work for the inter-racial commission and here's hoping that said commission in Houston will get busy at once and afford both races a chance to iron out their differences in a sane and sensible manner. SCHOOL PROBE "COMEDY SKIT." "A tempest in a tea-pot" might aptly describe the investigation and probe of several white teachers and officials connected with the Houston public schools, as a result of the agitation and pseudo-charges of a certain local spotlight seeking attorney. This white attorney—who, during the early days of the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was a professed "friend" to and of the colored race, being one of the orators at a big meeting held at Antioch Baptist Church, and who really desired to be the branch's lawyer and who was a candidate for mayor in 1919, soliciting and receiving the vote of several colored citizens—is insidiously endeavoring to construct a political fence and in order to ingrate himself into the hearts of prejudicial and rabid "Negro haters," he has injected the "race question" into his charges. There is an old expression that "God does not love ugly" and from the results thus far attained by his charges against Dr. Slataper, Superintendent P. W. Horn and some female teachers, it seems that the old opharmism is running true to form. He asked for Dr. Slataper's dismissal because the physician vaccinated white and colored children in the same room and because he had them to sit in the same room while waiting to be served. Undoubtedly this eminent' (?) barrister has forgotten that they ride in the same street cars and that in countless cases the children of his race play with and are nursed and car d for by colored children. Since he is so bitterly opposed to the two races meeting together, why did he make it his business to always attend some colored gathering and make a speech about "justice" and "fair play" for the colored American in the South? He had no particular charges against Superintendent Horn, only that the head of the school system did not conduct the department to suit his fancy and because he wields a "big stick" over his teachers. As for one poor, unfortunate female pedagogue, it appears that she came South a few years ago and hearing of a colored oculist handling a fine line of eye glasses and selling the same article cheaper than white oculists and optometrists, she committed the unpardonable sin of purchasing a pair of glasses from said race oculist, and despite the fact that the purchase was made about five years ago and in view of the fact that she recommended this colored oculist to her teacher comrades, her summary dismissal is demanded. We wonder how our race feels under such conditions, when it is borne in mind that we purchase commodities from white business and professional men and spend millions of dollars annually with white institutions? Why, we even have some colored school principals—one in particular—who line up their colored pupils and march them to stores near the school operated and owned by men of the white race, urging them to patronize these foreigners in lieu of members of their own race. (Don't press us too hard or we'll call names.) Wonder how this type of "race educators" feel now? As far as the charges go and the results obtained, are of Proud, matchless Tulsa comes before the bar of Christian civilization this day, and, with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her check, and we sincerely hope, with deep regret in her heart, ask that she be pardoned the great offense some of her citizens committed during Tuesday night and Wednesday. There is not a man worthy of the name whose heart is not after with indignation against that which has been done. Members of a superior race, bovolish of the fact, permitted themselves to degenerate into murderers and vandals; permitted themselves to deal their home community the foulest blow it has ever received in its history. Tulsa boasted that she was not Ardmore. And now a negligible number of men have plunged the reputation of the fair city into the depths of infamy. Language is incapable of palpitation, and the indignity of its peaceful, lawabiding citizens or of expressing the indignity one inevitably feels toward men incapable of controlling their passions and their prejudices. It is true that the pride of race as well as their prejudices is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground one would like, if it were at all possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night, when the streets of the city were suddenly transformed into a place of violence and murder. We are fighting themselves and visiting the county jail permits something to be said for those who responded to the riot impulse and set out to satiate the blood hust or racial pride. But nothing that the mind is capable of conceiving permits a word of defense or excuse for the murderous vandalism which set in at daylight the next morning. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property—the homes of women and children, black in color, to be sure, but guilty of no more than one percent of the murdered hands of the men systematically applied the torch while others shot on sight of men of color. The colored section of the city was wiped out, and a long line of hopeless, pitiful refugees fled northward from the burning town. The German invasion of Belgium with its awful consequences was no more unjustified or characterized with any greater cruelty. In the conflagration a splendid church but recently erected and one of the handsome educational institutions was the property the vandals applied forth to make sure of their terrible purpose. The entire "race war" was as unjustified as it was unnecessary. Because of it Tulisa is blazoned as a community where tolerance does not exist, where the constitution of the United States can be enforced or suspended at will, where prejudice and race bigrity rule, and where law and order haltingly knees the knee to outlawry. Ten thousand citizens have rendered homeless and made enslaves on the face of the earth! Will Tulisa accept such a reputation willingly? Will this city tolerate such injustice—accept weekly the sudden ending of its dream of primacy and glory? If not, then the substantial, constructive citizenship must immediately get into action. There is but one way in which Tulisa can achieve this: by the eyes of the outside world. That is by rebuilding that which has been destroyed. Vandalism has taken the houses and the savings of thousands of people, Tulisa must restore that which has been taken. The sins of a comparative few are thus visited upon the whole community. But it is a cross that must be shouldered willingly and heroically. This restitution, not because of affectionate regard for the colored man, but because of an honorable and intense regard for the white race whose bosom of superiority must now be justified by concrete acts. Not else can the wound of passion be beheaded or the scars of intolerant hatred be soothed. In this moment men of Tulisa stand at crossroads in the city where certainly leads to retrogression and decay. There must not, there cannot, be any hesitation. little concern to The Informer; for it is a comedy skit pure and simple. The thing that should cause us to reflect is the trend of events and our seeming indifference and lethargy about the things that most vitally concern and affect our racial group. It is all right for us to purchase goods from whites, but when the doctrine of business reciprocity is practiced those of the white race, who give the colored race a little patronage, are targets of abuse and condemnation and they are threatened or intimidated for trying to live and help others to live. These incidents and the fact that there are stores in this city that do not care for nor cater to colored rade, should spur our race here to embark in mercantile enterprises of our own, and thus obviate the necessity of men intensifying the inter-racial situation and appealing to and fanning the flames of racial hatred and antipathy by such prejudicial and incendiary charges and counter-charges. Forty thousand colored people will support and vouchsafe the success and permanence of any enterprise launched and operated by our people here; for God knows we are tired of being humiliated and embarrassed, to say nothing of our good women being manhandled and roughly treated, in so many of the local stores operated by men of other races for their racial contingent. Constructive action will beat all the complaining agitation in the world, for "he who would be free himself must strike the first blow." This is no brief for those against whom this white lawyer has brought his charges, but it is a plea or suggestion that the colored race should embark in big business enterprises of its own and thereby accelerate our progress and lessen the occasion for racial contact and the resultant injecting of this "race question" into our everyday life without any provocation.

He is as sane as the saintest and as sound as a gold dollar in his arguments for the ideal in government. He has 100 pellets cannibalism can should find anything to condemn in Editor Richardson because of his manly stand in the defense of right. He is entitled to the unqualified endorsement of law-adding citizens the world over. We need no invisible government. All we need is the law. No gimmick is invisible government. If the present laws on the statute books do not meet the necessary requirements, make more stringent laws and enforce them regardless to race or color.

SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER "Appreciation" The word “appreciation” but faintly reflects the true sentiment that this store desires to express to its thousands of friends for the magnificent response accorded them on the first day of their 34th Anniversary Sale. Our aisles were crowded to capacity with shoppers—folks who are familiar with the true import of Levy's Anniversary Sales. Many of those who were present have bought here year after year, knowing that the printed word of Levy's is more than a mere promise—who have learned from experience that a statement made by Levy's may be likened to a government bond in point of dependability, and that the satisfaction of a customer is of far greater importance to Levy's than the mere selling of merchandise. So, while we are at a loss for the proper expression of appreciation to the customers who have favored us with their presence, we know that the true depth of our feeling will be understood when we resort to an old-fashioned, but sincere, expression and say Levy's 34th Anniversary Sale will offer the same extraordinary values throughout its entire period as on the first day.

Brown, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, corner Travis Street and Bell Avenue, preached a most sermon last Sunday morning on "The Reign of the Mob," in which he discussed the prevalence of lawlessness in this country and suggested a remedy for its cure and ultimate eradication. Pastor Brown, preaching to a large audience, among other things declared: "The love of one's city, state or country implies hatred of the villes which do them harm. Indication against the evil corresponds exactly with the evil." *The patriotism and civic pride demanded hatred of that which injures Texas, the city of Houston and our entire country.* "We are living in a day of great social and industrial unrest and in a time of great national protest." *White and blue flag shall become red and white.* "The air is filled with the elements of disquietude and alarm—there is no small amount of race prejudice and unease in the air," she says, "to allay wherever possible." "The traced in Oklahoma and the displays of lawness in our own community are merely incidents in connection with the general prevalence of mob rule all over the country." She adds, "the United States has spread throughout the Union. West Virginia is now in a state of civil war—in Indiana, Illinois and far away California the same thing has taken place in one form or another here." "The American chronic in American life, and is fast becoming a great national source." "What is a mob? It is a beast with 'What is a mob?' it is a beast with human millipedes. It is a beast with death and penicillence as the grave." "There are several kinds of mobs. There is the hoodium mob, where the lawless element simply assert their rights, where labor is strugged, where labor, where labor, strugging for its rights, forgets itself and destroys life or property—and there is the mob composed of respectable citizens, where the so-called best element of the mob owns all of our own hands and set aside courts and juries. The last named is the worst of all forms of the mob. "Mob violence implies a lack of confidence in American institutions. The mob says we have wronged the mob says: We have been wronged—the courts can not be treated to right our wrongs—we will right our own wrongs." The mob is a symptom of a reversion to an earlier stage of human society. The citizen mob is the proclamation to the world of the loss of faith in the competency of the courts and offenders of the law to disperse people. The mob is a tremendous play for social mob is a tremendous UNDER THE REIGN OF THE MOB --- WE THANK YOU os. Dry G TER PLEADS LAW AND ORDER DRNING DISCOURSE "There are three general attitudes taken toward the mob—the first is to act like the ostrich that steals its head in the sand and feels secure from all threats. The second is to resort to the reaction and repression. The third thing is to re recognize that we are in the midst of a reign of laziness and meet the situation in a sane and common way. The third is the method which wisdom and Christianity would adopt. "What would such a course in volve? It would mean that we would attack causes, not symptoms. We would be able to appeal to mob psychology—we should be temperate in speech and be found always on the side of law and order. The freest people are the most law abiding. "The real cure for mob violence is to be sure but sure method of leaving the minds of the people with higherides of life and duty. Moanitine, the direct and correct method is the inforcement of the law at every point. To this influence every citizen, black and white, should lend his aid and "The right to life, to own property enjoy life and liberty, are God given and no man or set of men, whether they constitute a legislature or a moll has the right to deny any other set of men to enjoy and appropriate unto themselves their kith and kin. The right of free speech, the right to enjoy equal accommodations on all public utilities are rights for which we should fight not with a gun, not with a torch, but by a united effort to lift ourselves above the conditions that may disqualify us to employ ourselves and equal privileges with other men." "We talk to our white neighbor, and not so much about them. The overwhelming majority of them are our friends and wish us well. Let us emphasize our concedes rather than our demands." "We are just as safe in Houston as we would be in any part of the country. There is no need for any of our group to go elsewhere to secure a larger measure of safety. The impact of the races here in Houston has always been friendly. God grant that a relation may never be disrupted." "Here in Houston our people are at their best; many of them are well educated and all of them are industrious and peace loving, very few of them causing trouble or falling upon evil ways. Many of them are large tax payers. I have visited every section of our country and am thoroughly familiar with conditions in every section. It is my firm conviction that nowhere have our people a better opportunity for development and happy living conditions than in our fair city. There is however, a feeling of unrest and in security and it is not confined to our people. The thought of men both races should get together and adopt a program that would make for peace and harmony and conserve the best interests of both races. There is a THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921 SPORT POTPOURRI DUFFS BACK HOME 415 remedy for present conditions. That remedy should be found and applied. "We have reached the most critical period of our history and development in this country. A calm, dispassionate, critical, subjective study of present conditions, present obligations and how to meet them, is the demand of "Race assertion, race prejudice, race discrimination are universal and acute. Local conflicts and new irritations result to the hurt of all races and the scandal of Christianity. The immediate duty before white and black alike is the suppression of local race rifts and the elimination of race prejudice. We should invade and destroy the race that breed race rifts and race wars." Jerusalem Baptist. REV. G. PORTER, Pastor Sunday school meet with large attendance and a well taught lesson.

After every rowing defeat Yale conches believe in a shifting of the oarsmen. College swimmers will take part in the big meets planned for this summer in New York. The usual number of monkey-wrenches are being thrown into the big fight machinery. Most of the ring gentry think Frank Moran's match with Carpentier will be called off after July 2. Carpentier estimates the big mill will go six rounds now. His courage has raised two rounds. Champion Johnny Wilson is still waiting for Mike Gibbons to "go out and make a reputation." Carpenter's statement that he is "condent of doing his best" doesn't leave any room for criticism. Tex Rickard is annoyed by fans who send in $50 bank notes plus tax. The half-century covers the tax. George Cook, heavyweight champion of Australia, looks like Joe Beckett, and fighters like Tommy Burna once did. Two hundred athletes aside from junior events are in the United States Lawn Tennis association's list of tourneys.

The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the projects which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish.

A Grub Worm and Butterflies Jane had not wanted to go to the big house party given by her beautiful Lodge, a luxuriously furnished place with a well-known well enough that she would fit into the crowd Alma would invite about as successfully as a square pearl. Jane had been finishing her education at a select school for fashionable young girls Jane had been earning a livelihood for herself and her widowed husband, an autonomic route of strenghthe. She did not give herself any art and culled herself Mr. Mathews' private collection. She had everything everything from office boy to general manager of the big marble quarry, of which Mr. Mathews was president. The girl had hit the marble quarry. Jane had generously given her youthful strength, energy and enthusiasm to keeping down expenses until she had to pay again. Labor was high. A man operating a derick demanded $7.50 per day, and even the water boy, a half-witted妇 of thirteen years, a Mathemy, laid rushed and had to be replaced. But the market had suddenly opened with a bang and Jane dreamed wonderful dreams of helping poor old Mr. Mathemy, the Mathemy, long dead in a world. It was a sack of debt of gratitude. Mathemy had been the very first person to go to their aid when he was 12 years old, helping his widow and daughter only a modest little home and no means with which to keep it. It had been Mrs. Mathemy who suggested business college and a place in her husband's life. The invitation to visit her hererty, frivolous enmity in the mountains had come. Mrs. Mathemy had been Jansen's mother in urging the She had not been in the house more than six hours before she realized with a real pang of heart hunger that she had been in the house most consistently tact in the world could not make her enjoy herself. A grub worm has nothing in common with a butcher, but she has always consisted of clothes, boredom and gossip. The man frankly made love to all the girls and were too free. Jane thought, with their carefully planned schedule, that Jane never knew how she managed to get through those first trying days. She was perfectly miserable and she had no friends. She was leading her exspioide dresses and jewels, too, but Jane demurred at the order of borrowed finery. So she wore the simple, inexpensive things and relied on the grub worm among brilliant based butterflies. Saturday morning came and the evening came down to the station to meet several men who had been tired from business by the hunting Alain's game preserve offered. When the train pulled in everybody was in a state of slumber, stone remained an outsider. And then a big jolly fellow, whose brown hair was already streaked becoming with gray, came up to her, cap in "They are too busy to notice that we do not know each other," he said. "We have been so busy that we managed to sit beside her on the way to the lodge and for the first time since her arrival, Jane felt her hand on her shoulder all about you," he said, "and I have been keen ever since then to know you. I do adduce a gift who can help me with the things Jane felt real relief at that. He knew then that she did not belong to that crowd. She was not sailing until she was in the hospital, one of his stories later that Bob Sanders raised his eyebrows and Inquired in his drawing fashion, "oh, how much you love her?" She looked lovely when you laugh. Why have you done it before?-Pill asked her to walk around the house and to walk with it with a fast beating heart that Jane prepared to dress for her first real engagement there. She had just enclosed a gift in a box and by her own nimble fingers that it looked as if it might be anybody's expensive model. She was just getting ready to leave her when the bright sun of her happiness was promptly obscured by the remark of the sophisticated little girl. "I knew that Phil would be nice to you. He engaged to Alma you know, and of course he wants to impress him on his new cousin-too." Jane hurried downstairs and fairly invited Toby Gates to go to Alma. She asked Alma to tell Phil that she had already gone. When she came back, glowing from her brisk walk and also from the doorway, Alma told her to gain the interest of the intimate Tony to such an extent that he had straightway made an engagement Tony to the pleasant woman, woman of showing her black-hairy little roommate that she did not need Phil Marshen's hair. She did not need her hair and had given her a **b**arrow to resuscitate her. She had fattered Tony. It had worked marvelously. She proceeded to try the same method on the others, but she did not succeed. She began to regard her curiously. Then they grew evermore friendly. When they were dressing for dinner Alain Marshen helped her feel a beautiful evening dress, this time a rosea given one with iridescent spangles like star dust. June inserted it eagerly. For the long life she longed for a book of admiration—in one man's eyes, whether she had a right to it or not. She had a right to it, but she had to like her like that, when love came it would come blinding. When Phil Marshen smiled at her she felt her heartbling hearted right up to the end. She made a striking picture as she went slowly down the long, curving stairway. Three or four men were in the hall below. Phil amused them, "You know, you are the loveliest girl I have ever seen," he told her when he had hipped her hand before she left. She was in a low, deep-cushioned window seat, "Why did you run away and leave me today?" She came close sight of Alma in white satin and purple pearls. She thought, resentfully at first, that Alma had always had everything. If she could steal a little happiness with this man, who was there to help her with the right and wrong of everything came to her rescue and she put Satan behind her with a matter of fact rejonder. Thereafter she avoided personal business, of the beautiful pink marble in the Mathews' quarry, of the price it was bringing on the market, of the price it would soon be bringing on her. She carried no money pane in its wake. Within thirty minutes Phil Marsden had given her the largest order for marble that the Mathews Marble company had ever received. Business asserted itself once more. Jane could think of nothing else all during dinner. She slipped away as soon as possible and called Mr. Mathews on long distance. She was in Alma's little den upstairs, and knowing that everybody else was downstairs, she talked freely about everything to her beloved old employer. “I’ll be home in a few days earlier than I planned,” she told him. “We must get this marble right out. I will take all the offer worries off of your mind so that you can speed up production in the quarry.” Yes, he is a splendid man. Phil Marsden is his name. He is the junior member of Marsden & Son, architects. They very nicest man I ever knew! There was a little slinging note in her voice. Then quietly, the little gone out of it, she added. “He is engaged to my cousin, Alma.” She hung up the receiver and sat there, staring blatily at the walls, dim in the mellow glow from many shaded lights. “Who is engaged to Alma?” asked Phil Marsden so abruptly that she jumped. “You,” said Jane in a small, quaking voice. Then Phil Marlesdor did an unexpected thing. He put his arms around her and hungled. "It not engaged to you, I don't want to be to you. All of my life I have known that the right girl would come just as you have, and that I would recognize you. I would off the frill this morning I did not see a soul on the platform but you. Does all this sound foolish to you, do or do you, too, believe in God? Yes, I believe in God. I remember, looked up to my happily, "Think what our firm can do for Mr. Matthys's marquise bird, to be able to body to use a car, can't you, Phil?" Feast of Purim. Jews, the world over, rejoice greatly in the celebration of the festival of Purim, continuing for two days. Purim, the Jewish holiday of the month of the adah, which is the last month of the Jewish calendar. It is celebrated in recognition of the deeds of the month of the adah, from the destructive designs of Haman, the grand vizer of King Ahasuerus, to the general massacre of the Jews for the Eldar of Adar. Through the intervention of Esther, a Jew whose beauty had led her to the king's death, the Jews were massacred. The plan was frustrated. Haman and his sons were condemned to the galeen, and the plan was raised to the position of second in the kingdom. Instead of being slaughtered, the Jews were permitted to return on the day set for the massacre. East Indian Superstition. In certain parts of India tigers and lizards take the place of the Bishwin of the Christian countries, and the penalty of breaching the earth is that in the case of a tiger, it will become the prey of a tiger, and in the other, that his body will be covered with scales like a tizard.
