George, while the "noodle" contingent was represented by Master Timothy Shadow and O. P. DeWalt. Games and women's favorite and famous position, "chipping," constituted the afternoon's program.

MARSHALL SURGEON CHIEF OPERATOR AT WHITTIER'S CLINICS San Antonio, Texas.—On Jan. 17, 1718 the citizens of San Antonio and vicinity were given a rare treat, and some much out of the ordinary for the citizens of a free surgical clinic held at Dr. Whittier's infirmary. Dr. J. R. Sheppard, Marshall, one of the leading surgeons of the South, was the first to and from the beginning of the work of his painstaking skill and speed, could leave no other impression upon the minds of the visiting physicians, but that he is a master in his line. His significance as it marks the breadth of general surgery among the colored doctors of this city, Dr. Whittier and his staff promise to give San Antonio the best there is to be desired in the city. He hopes that they can make the clinics an annual affair. TEXARKANA DOCTOR HERE Dr. H. J.

Dead Body Found In Second Ward; One Arrest Made This community was thrown into a feverish excitement, when the dead body of little Esterline Mae Bailey was discovered near the I. & G. N. Ry, freight house Tuesday. Investigation disclosed the fact that the little 12-year child had been brutally and criminally outraged before being murdered, and that the arch-fiend, who perpetrated this horrible and heinous crime, had possibly lured or abducted her to that section of the city. Last Sunday was her birthday and her foster-mother, Mrs. Edna Grimes, 308 Thirtieth Street, Independence Heights, had sent her to Fourth Ward Monday evening to get a natal day token from a blind man, friend of the family. This gift consisted of two pairs of stockings. She was also sent to the market at San Felipe and Crosby and a grocery store, where some money was given her for Mrs. Grimes. She was to have gone by the Baptist Sanitarium for some clothes, but never reached this institution. Just how she reached Second Ward and who the brutish fiend was, are baffing the police officials. One suspect is under arrest and the sheriff's department is bending every effort to apprehend the guilty culprit. Despite the brutality and friendliness of the crime, there is no talk of lynch-law, the colored citizens being determined to see justice done through regularly constituted instrumentalities, notwithstanding this is one of the most shocking, revolting and heinous crimes in the criminal annals of Harris County. William Bailey, father of the outraged and murdered child, resides in Galveston. COLORED EDUCATORS ASK LEGISLATURE FOR STATE REFORMATORY INSTITUTION A committee of colored educators, headed by Prof. J. W. Sandifff of Hirschore, president of the State Colored Board of Education, met with the house committee on elementary institutions at Austin last week, and memorized the committee to recommend to the legislature a separate state referendum for color education. This colored delegation suggested that the committee that, since the state was considering the proposition of abstaining several publicity sites, must be employed to the its interests.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 RACE PREJUDICE'S RAMIFICATIONS The action of President Lowell of Harvard University, in excluding a colored youth from the freshman dormitory of that erstwhile reputed "fair" institution of learning, shows just about how deeply rooted this peculiar species of American race prejudice has become. This action of the Harvard chief executive—the school that lays proud claims to such distinguished colored alumni as Judge Robert Terrell, W. E. B. DuBois, William C. Matthews, famous athlete; Roscoe Conkling Bruce, orator of his class and father of the excluded student at point; William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States; William Monroe Trotter and a galaxy of colored graduates—is like the stab administered in the back of the illustrious Caesar by his trusted comrade and friend, Brutus. But it does more than that—it shows in a manner that is unmistakable that race prejudice and its ramifications have ceased to be sectional and that even in former Puritanic circles colorophobia is becoming a pronounced social disease. Coming on the heels of the edict against students of Jewish extraction, it seems that "fair" Harvard is being dominated and influenced by a certain "100% American" organization that is thriving and flourishing like the bay tree in the South. In years past colored athletes have brought undying glory to the standards of the Crimson and even the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was honored with a master's degree from this famous institution of learning, which throughout the years has stood as a beacon light and sentimental for all those seeking educational enlightenment without regard to race, creed or sex. It is not far from the dormitory room to the recitation room, and, if it is not good policy "to compel white students to reside in the same dormitory with colored students," then ere long it will not be surprising to read that for "policy sake" (which, like a Mother Hubbard dress, covers a multitude of sins), it is not deemed advisable for white and colored students to associate in the same class rooms. Prejudice is not unlike lawlessness and epidemics. Permit it to crop out here for some imaginary or apparent reason and soon it will crop out yonder in a worse form for another reason, or no reason at all. If education and Christianity cannot remove nor minimize racial prejudice and antipathy, then where will this thing end? The Harvard affair is more than an incident, for in this crucial stage of the game it is bordering on criminality for such an institution to dilly-dally and falter in the times that try and test men's souls—in a period when intolerance, prejudice and bigotry are threatening the very existence of this nation. If such schools as Harvard, Yale and Princeton can not uphold the traditions, principles, tenets and preachments of Americanism, and if these and other institutions of learning so intimately connected and interwoven with the life of this republic can not execute the larger program of race relations and obliterate race hatred, where then can we turn for a solution, for aid and succor? If the alma mater of the lamented Theodore Roosevelt fails to live up to the doctrine it has enunciated and striven to follow all these years, what must one expect of other schools? America owes her black citizens a huge debt and if Northern and Eastern schools are unwilling for colored boys and girls to drink deep of the Pierian spring within their classic walls, then it is up to the friends of colored education to see it that Southern colleges for training and educating youths are brought up to the standard and endowed to the extent that this great work can be carried forth without let or hindrance. The black man has attempted to come up to the standard and mark set by the American white man in education, religion, commerce, politics, industry and all vocations and avenues. But it appears that where little is either desired or acquired, the colored man suffers less persecution, proscription, discrimination and segregation. The moment the black man begins to aspire for the higher things of life, despite the fact that he has proven his capability, he stirs up a veritable storm of protest and a "tempest in a tea house," is the matter of rather than of mere consequence, while charges of "social equality," "miscegenation" and baseless allegations are trotted forth by those who would deny the race these opportunities and privileges. The white church, particularly in the South, has been both dormant, lethargic, indifferent and too cowardly to tackle this job and thus today so-called religious leaders and shepherds of the flock are preaching a doctrine of hate and intolerance that has no parallel in the annals of the modern or medica church. AFRIC Swahili The natives of are known as build in study, height, color range African color to some instances, tamed. The homes of are withdrawn nut palm leaves hall in the center color to palm leaves and uncomfortabler mosphere of civic Own There is one gratifying incident connected with President Lowell's prejudicial action and that is the protest of Harvard alumni and President Emeritus Eliot, under whose administration this famed institution preached and practiced the "fairness" for which this school has established a reputation. It behoves our race to get all the educational preparation and training while the getting is good, for in the not distant future the majority of the old institutions of learning in the North and East will, to all intents and purposes, close their doors in the face of colored youths. It is disgusting, if not disheartening, to note the demonstrations and ramifications of race prejudice in this country, but history bears us out in the assertion that those who preach and practice this doctrine suffer more, ultimately, than those who are victims and objects of their hellish preachment and Hunnish actions. From all indications, there is a new order of things prevailing in "democratic" America and it does not require the phobic wisdom and ability of a Daniel to interpret the handwriting on the spell. While admiting that certain sections of this country are less infected and infested with this dreaded American monster, prejudice, than others, yet our manifest duty is to organize and line up our forces that we can combat this terrible evil, which is fast becoming a national disease, through orderly processes and in such a manner that our group will be materially benefited and by our very program make friends out of erstwhile enemies. Let us not waste time in crumbling and complaining,— "Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME A few days ago the Texas senate wired the governor of Louisiana commending him for his stand in the Mer Rouge horror and atrocity, but all the time these Lone Star State solons were apparently closing their eyes to the evil and menace of mob-law and gang rule within their own commonwealth. During 1922 Louisiana staged three lynching fests, excluding the Mer Rouge disclosures of mobocratic barbarism and brutality, while Texas led the lynching league and copped the pennant of the circuit with 18 lynching bees. At the very time the Texas law-makers were wiring their congratulations and felicities to Governor Parker of the Police State, our own Goose Creek was "struiting its stuff" and had just attained the limelight with a bold defiance of constituted authority, and Bishop, in the 'valley section, enacted one of the most revoltive and barbaric atrocities in the history of civilization, when Dr. Smith, former Wharton County race physician, was incarcerated, tormented, dismembered and his body cremated in a "mysterious" fire that destroyed the jail at this little Texasburg. So often we fail to see our own faults and sins, but we are even ready to take cognizance of those of our fellow man. The Informer is not condemning the Texas solons for commending the governor of another state for his stand for law and order, in the language of the Great Teacher, we wish to admonish our representatives and governor, "Go thou and do likewise." Charity should begin at home and then spread abroad, and if this be true, then Texas certainly needs to clean up her own premises before lauding those of other states so vociferously. Like the ostrich, we are apparently hiding our head in the sand, all the while leaving our body exposed, yet such procedure does not remove the fact one whit or change the situation one bit. Texas is mob-ridden, mob-controlled and mob-infested, and unless the legislature takes due cognizance of this menace and passes and enforce legislation to suppress this reign of lawlessness, outlawry and anarchy, we are in for one perilous times. Crimes are multiplying with painful regularity and the written law is treated as a joke in too many quarters for the safety and perpetuity of the commonwealth. We need to get back to our first love, constitutional government, and press the machinery of the state into service to the end that all men will have the utmost respect for law and constituted authority. Resolutions of commendations will not alter the internal conditions of our state, and if the solons are in earnest and not merely playing to the galleries, they will show more interest in lynch law at home and seek to correct and eliminate these evils. Foreign missionary endeavor is all right, but home missionary work should and must take pre-eminence over the former, for charity begins at home and then spreads abroad. Let Texas clean her akirts of the shame and disgrace of mob-rule and then her representatives can consistently commend officials of other states for their stand and action to remove the scourge of mobocracy from the confines of their commonwealth.

Well, sir, what d you know about little old Waco, better known as "Barbecueville," trying to maintain a monopoly on front page publicity by the recurrent perpetration of such mysterious murders? Another one of these celebrated crimes, for which Waco has become famous, was discovered a few days since and in this instance both the man and woman were cold in the arms of death. Press reports state that the authorities are exerting every energy to apprehend the guilty culprit or culprits and bring them before the bar of justice. What has come over Waco that no "big, black, burly brute" is charged with committing this brutal crime? Have all of the likely "Negro youth" either been lynched, burned at the stake or deported? It begins to look that way since it seems that the "usual" colored man has not yet been found upon whom to lay this latest crime. Pahaw! What is the matter with the peace officers of Waco and McLennan County that they can not apprehend the custom "escape-goat"? Where is that "huge Negro" reported springing up from no where on those "lonely county roads"? Can't law-abiding and peaceful citizens of the community take a little automobile ride out into the rural regions without being ruthlessly and shamefully murdered? What kind of food is this upon which Wacona feast that causes them to commit these "peculiar" crimes upon "spooning" parties under such "peculiar" circumstances? Are these crimes perpetrated by envious and jealous-hearted persons, or are they the result of depredations of "vigilant" trying to break up the practice of auto parties on "lonely country roads?" There is something radically wrong in Waco and its environs and the person in the woodpile does not seem to be a Senegambian. However, if the authorities can not run down the criminal or criminals, we would suggest that they fall back on their old "standby" and nab some "Negro," indict and convict him for the crime. Why not go out and catch some colored youth, take him before some relative of one of the deceased persons, permit said person to riddle the unfortunate colored youth's body with bullets, then take his lifeless form, drag it all over the city and then burn it to a crisp on the public square, while men, women and children aplaud and cheer frantically and vociferously? If this is not done, then Waco stands chances of losing the spotlight to such insignificant places as Mer Rouge, La, Kirren, Texas, and one other horse burge in Dixie. "Weth ther," officer, Waco at it again, and we advise you to throw out your draget and capture the "big, black bruise, burge" and treat him to a dose of the celebrated and famous Waco mobocratic concoction. Selah! By REV. W. P. STANLEY, Vicar St. Clement's Episcopal Church "Swahile Customs" The natives of German East Africa are known as Swahili. They are sturdy in build, averaging five feet in height, color ranking from genuine African color to light brown and in instances, very light complex hair. Language Homes Their homes are made of dried mud with thatched roots made from cocoa palm leaves. Each house has a large window and a side. There are cots, made from dried palm leaves and branches, which are not uncomfortable and do add an airy feel. Own Homes A remarkable fact to be noted is that three-fourths of the natives in Dares Salam an own their homes. These so-called heathouses have felt the heat of the sun and are therefore to be independent and outwet the real estate sharks. Surely, we here in Houston, living in a civilized country, ought to own our own homes. When we recognize that these homes cost the natives from 70 ruples, that the cost of the heathouses or 67 dollars or 80 cents but get three ruples or 90 cents a month, we can appreciate the sacrifice endured. Give us in Houston this sacrificing spirit and the colored man will be freed from the throttling of real estate sharks. Water Brigade Dress Most individuals have the impress mion that Africans go a la Adam. Such however, is not true. The Swahili woman wears a long, striped dress. The woman, drapes themselves very artificially with variegated material, the dress being in one piece. The woman's dress is very lengtha. The favorite colors are white and black, with red dots, yellow, with black stripes. There is very Ili and black, and red is not their favorite color. Sound Bodies Missionaries have told us of the weakness and physical debilities of the African. They are partly true, but very materially colored.

Phone Probe 8981* The profession has for its prime object, the service it can render to humanity; reward or financial gain; be a minor consideration. The reward one writer has termed it, the greatest profession that God has entrusted to man. In choosing this profession an individual assumes an obligation to conduct himself in accord with its high. The obligation assumed on entering the profession requires the physician to conduct himself as a gentleman and demands that be use every honorable means to uphold the dignity and honor of his vocation, to exalt its standard and to extend its sense of usefulness. The medical society has a duty. In the medical profession of medical profession may be upheld its standard exalted and the advancement of medical science promoted, a physician should associate himself with medical societies and contribute his energy and means in order that he represents the ideals of the profession. Certain forms of advertisement are unbecoming, unprofessional and are usually, unassured, the solicitation of patient information is unprofessional. It is equally unprofessional to procure patient by direction through solicitors or agents of any kind. The joining of an church and a hospital and the heads of lodges and other organizations is unprofessional of the low est type. All other like self-landlancing the tradition and lower the tone of the advertisement and effective advertisement possible even for a young physician and especially with his brother physicians in the establishment of a well-trained and experienced facility. This cannot be forced but must be the outcome of character and conduct. The publication or circulation of ordinary single business cards is the establishment of convenience is not deemed impugner. It is unprofessional to promote radical cure, to host of cure and secret meetings of convenience is not deemed impugner. It is ethical at all times for physicians to mitigate the profession. The doctors should excuse without fear or favor before the medical society concludes the contract of members of the profession. Every physician should aid in informing the profession against the admission to its ranks of those who are qualified morally and intellectually. Professional service of physicians to each other—experience teaches that it is in virtue for physicians to treat one another. Therefore a physician should always carefully and willingly respond with his professional service to the call of any physician practicing in his vicinity to the family or his fellow adviser. the attending physician. Should a friendly visit be made there should be no inquiry respecting the physical condition or treatment of said patient. A physician should prescribe for a patient who is under the care of another physician, except in emergency, until after the other physician has relinquished the charge. When a physician does succeed another physician in the charge of a case he should not make any comments or instructions, such comments or institutions tend to lower the ostensibility of a physician and no react against the crick. Hospital Advantages Webster defines hospital as being a place or institution in which the sick or injured are given medical and surgical care, and in which the patient is or in part at public expense or by charity. I agree with the author who said that an attempt to practice medicine without a hospital is like going a hunting without a gun. We have advantages offered by the hospital? 1. It allows protection to the expectant and confined mothers. Statistics show in one of the eastern hospitals that mortality is reduced from 1% to less than one-half of 1. 2. It is no more a theory, but an established fact that our women are more susceptible to fibroid tumors. 3. We have more nurses or psoasal combs in large numbers. Without access to a local hospital such cases will have to be turned over to a hospital where we may not be allowed to operate. 4. We have more nursing training for many of our girls that they could in no other way obtain. 4.6th Hospital patients can more closely be observed with respect to dieting and giving of medical remuneration. 4.7th and hence an increased speed recovery. Sth. A hospital shows progressiveness and intelligent thought, on the part of community in which it is located. It inspires confidence, attains interest, it broadens the sphere of knowledge, a time same enables it to take its full place in the heart of the public where it rightly belongs. We should feel congratulated and thank those in authority for establishing a tubercular unit for our group of students. We are grateful of what we speak is on the Sloppy Darn's road. It is dearly located with respect to shade, shade and sunshine. Spaceness enough to accommodate a score or more of patients is available. Are there are such of offer the best opportunity for their speedy recovery. I believe that the forty thousand colored of Houston should at some time and in some way have their apprentices such much needed institution for our people.

By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and descriptions of the things that are best and most essential. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot good, cheap and cheaply, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the home and grounds looking well—they've learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements. A good deal that will be helpful and valuable to you as you go through life. KEEPING WELL MEANS A CONSTANT FIGHT AGAINST CATARRH How illness may be caused as a natural condition.

He was at the rich man's gate with the dog from his table. The dogs of the street were more kid to him than the rich man, and he indicated that a godly life shone through his poverty. We learn from his story that the condition is no sure test of a man's state in the sight of God. Rich men are not all orkish or selfish, and not all are in the state of death. II. Contrasted Deaths and Funerals 3. The Beggar. He was found dead and his body hurried out to a pauper grave. No notice was taken of the world. II. The Rich Man. He also died. His gold could not be brought the message of death. The funeral was held, attended by those who moved in his class of society. Death is the common end to which all II. Contrasted Destinies (vv. 23).

The Reality and Fixedness of Life Beyond the Grave (v. 24-81). He is the Latin name for "rich man," was now willing to claim relationship to Abraham. He was keenly interested in controlling him while on earth were still with him. Instead of a means of control, he was the instrument of torture. Part of the form of hell will be the cravings of appetite and with no means of control. 2. Abraham's Reply (v. 25). This reply cast the matter back upon the man, who is the member." The lashings of a guilty conscience will be most real in hell. This life of the unchangeable dead is fixed by the choices during the life. When one passes out of this life he enters into an unchangeable life. 4. God's Word and the All-Sufficient Light (v. 27-51). Dives now request mercy to his brethren. He requested the testimony of a spirit of more value than the Word of God. Many scribes rapped a snippets of the word than the sure Word of God. Abraham declared that God's Word is sufficient—that those who would not repent though visited one who had risen from the dead.

HYMER "THE MEANEST MAN IN THE WORLD" PRICES: Colored Halcony, 15c Including Tax HOUSTON MAN RELATES IMPRESSION OF RACE PROGRESS IN ATLANTA, GA. Mr. O. P. DeWalt, propriate manager of Lincoln Theater, visited the general offices of the Standard Life Insurance company, the Citizen's Trust company and the Service company at Atlanta, Ga., and is held in his praise of these three institutions. These companies held important director's meetings last week and Mr. DeWalt was one of the three Houston directors of the Citizen Trust company to attend. Here are his impressions: "The par amount importance of these three kindred institutions to the commercial life of our group can only be understood by a closeup study of the of the three linked that one takes up where the other leaves off, forming a chain which is calculated to encircle practically all lines of endoray that are worth "The best evidence of the remarkable stamina of these institutions was shown by the ability of one to each be a healthy dividend, despite the fact that many of them had swept no many enterprises to destruction. Each one reported an increase in 'business, which was really phenominal, under the surrounding circuit." "A short sketch of what I learned and how I felt." The Citizen's Trust Company "When I walked into the Citizens' Trust Co. and took note of the stylist fixtures and modern banking equipment, I was surprised by the number of customers who were lined up in front of the receiving windows, of the young men and women tellers who were in line, paying on money with accuracy, displaying the number of the cashier at his private desk, dieing letters to a young lady stenographer, who was writing in short hand and was very busy, president, in his private office, apparently arranging a loan, I was proud that I had a "finger in the plo," that I had to make this instruction Records— by popular Race Artist NORFOLK JAZZ QUARTETTE Exclusive on Okel The Record of Quality Jelly Bean Blues Southern Jack Cornfield Blues Big Fat Mama Monday Morning Blues Standing on the Corner 75c Each 75c SEND NO MONEY Mail us your order.

KILBY, 8c, Pastor SUNDAY NIGHT, JAN. 28 SUBJECT: The Service Co. "I was directed to the second floor where I inspected the elegantly furnished offices of the Service Co. and was introduced to the busy department heads and large office forces. The rapid growth of this company, necessitated the removal of the real department to another handsome building, owned by the company, and moved to the ground floor space. The real department had just sold fifteen acres of land to the city for a colored high school, bought four hundred acres of land to the city for a number of conveniences. I mean sure enough modern—paved streets, sidewalks, water lights and sewer's everything, and land the contract for a Three Rivers School Building to be built in Atlanta, Ga, to say nothing about the lovely homes that had been completed and were being constructed by this department, enough to mediate and say amen. "I want to tell you about the thoroughly equipped laundry, printing press and fine drug store owned, and the fact that these enterprises also give profitable employment to a large number of our people is too obvious to men- The Standard Life "I was deeply impressed with what I had thus far seen and learned about the two institutions. I have endeavored to be the biggest thrills we were reserved for the last. These came while I was inspecting the magnificent offices of the Standard Life Insurance Co. "the daddy of them all," which occupies the entire room of the office. The exception of the executive committee room of the Citizen's Trust Co. "Thrill number one. About fifty young men, middle-aged men and young women seated at several rows of stalls, in a spacious room and in a chain of small offices, all too busy to look up. "Thrill number two. My old chum, Mr. Aaron Day, Jr., formerly manager of the branch office at Houston, has been an important duties as assistant director of agencies. Everything indicates that he has made good. The head of this department, the affable, W. H. W. He is very much in evidence, shaking hands and showing us things he told us about. "Ttrill number 3. I cored roomy mahogany furnished offices of the president, Mr. Heman E. Perry, a noted son of Houston in whose fertile soil he grew. He gave to give a brief, partial description of their conception. He conceived the idea of a Negro insurance company and the Standard Life, the largest colored company in America was the first to offer an investment company and the Service Co. came to life; he conceived the idea of a negro bank and the Citizen's Trust Co. was born. I wonder if Houston knows what a great man this nation has made of the brave and aware of the fact that the most brave of the race, including blahs, business men and barbers, have staked their fortunes on his business judgment. I wonder how many Houston businessmen and barbers have made of the wonderful business opportunities this man has made possible. "I don't mean to impress you that Mr. Perry and his associates have created a gold mine. They are fighting an uphill battle and are only gaining by sheer pluck and business ability. "No, don't get me wrong. I am not connected with either one of these three companies except the Citizens' Bank, which is one of the other company, from the president on down, who thinks he can get more genuine pleasure out of the commercial record all of them are making for the race. Of course, Atlanta must drop down hills, fill up ditches and fortify the soil; but nature has been more liberal to Houston. We have every natural resource that is essential to our development into the garden spot. We have been given the even hatred, prejudice and discrimination that would humiliate and devour us, can be converted into an asset if intelligently managed. "The day of individualism is rapidly passing. It is practically gone, so we can move forward. Self preservation demands that we round up Negro capital that is operating on our disadvantage and organize various business concerns. What if we should fail occasionally. Even if we fail occasionally, we are racial shackers if we don't shake off our lethargy and get busy." ```markdown ``` Lincoln Theatre THE HOUSE OF SPECIALS Adopts a New Policy for the New Year ADMISSION Don't deceive yourself into thinking that our biggest shows always start on the first of the week. We have practically cornered the market on super-special releases and will have to play them as we come to them in order to complete our contracts.
