INDICT MOB LEADERS RACE TO MAN U. S. V. HOSPITAL VOL. IV. GETTING 'EM TOLD BY C. F. RICHARDSON. MONDAY'S ELECTION. The voters spoke in Monday's special election and, while they agreed with the Informer only on one issue (the 78c tax on the $100 for maintenance and operation of the schools), the 78c tax on paper to make to any person or paper for its position prior to the election. The Informer supported the $2,000,000 bond issue, not because we were anxious to see our taxes increased, but because all previous bond issues of smaller size, for sale purpose, were already colored schools always went begging and wanting. There was no attempt on the part of the school board to buy colored votes, as charged in certain circles, and the raising of such hue and cry against the agenda of the most dangerous sort as will ultimately prove a boomerang. If we thought that the good white people of this community would oppose and vote against a bond issue for schools, merely because it was apparent colored children would get better facilities and equipment, this paper would advise every colored person to sell out his belongings and seek a home in some other community. The most facilities, long called the "colored people's friend," to prejudice white people, because it was stated in advance that one-eighth of said amount would be spent on and for colored schools. The more colored schools and supporters feel now since our children must remain in shacks, due How can they harmonize their relegations and responsibilities and ridicule regimes that have professed desire for better education? One of our prominent colored citizens and heavy taxpayer said Monday, that we was not so overly wrong. We impingent impets to the migration to the Negro to the North and East," and he was not so overly wrong. We decision made and we have no tears to shed. We presume an "anil" board will be selected (permanently) invoking the white board (primary) bond issue submitted to only care-for the pressing needs of the white board to go to geheena or some other torrid cities. The voters have spoken; they defeated the $3,000,000 bond issue, barely raising the rate and elective system of selecting the board of education. Now that they have the elective system of selecting the board of education. If we were the betting man we would be found to keep the school citizens from voting for the school boards. Stick a pin on the dance! Selah! COMMENCEMENTS. We have begun to receive invitations to attend the commencement exercises of the various schools for the education of colored youths in America, and the thought recurs in the past when we made we for these young people? Hundreds of young people will get their diplomas and degrees within the next month, but where will they find employment? Any person who thinks that an educator or girl will long engage in the work done before receiving an education, knows very little about human nature. All right to educate our children, but it is criminal to educate them and then refuse or fall to make a place for them. In this connection it is foolish and sly for us to expect men of other races to work in our face of their children for ours; for that he provideth not for his own household is worse than an infidelity of colored boys and girls graduate and their careers facing more insane barriers than those of the race who never attended school nor drank at the school. When will we ever learn our lesson and stop fattening frogs for snakes? For children of other races communicate with their real life work, but with our children it generally means graduation—that is at. We need to give such weight matters more serious consideration and need to develop so much time to the trivial and ephemeral things; we need more suburban life, less of the shadow of the funeral of our less of the superficials. We are virtually working with the ability to get all worked up when other people call us "boys."

Then he insulted every teacher or official on the grounds by learning their first names and then forming a Warren, Logan trainee of Tuskegee, was called "Warren," to his face, and Principal Moton was called "Moton." Tuskegee Institute was never so embarrassed before, and the new commandant announced that the surgeons, nurses, and all employees except a few minor ones, would be white men and women. The Alabama state law which imposes a fine and a year's imprisonment upon white nurses who attend colored patients, was to be avoided by appointing white women as nurses, but supplying each one with a colored aide who would do the actual work.

Henry Lincoln Johnson was in Baltimore recently en route from Salisbury, Md., Wilmington, Philadelphia and Havre de Grace, Md., to New York, where he met the O.M. C. A.

C.-President Harding is functioning. This is seen particularly in his determined stand with reference to the conduct of the veterans' hospital at Tuskegee Institute. Shortly after the opening of the $2,000,000 institution, it was discovered that it was the purpose of some of the lesser "powers that be," aided and abetted by some of the more aggressive Southern whites of Alabama, to "man and woman the institution with whites, except as porters, maids, cooks, and incidental lackeys." This information reached the president and the people of the country. It was a surprise and a shock to all investigated and the institution local concerned. It was bad enough that colored soldiers could not get decent treatment in United States hospitals throughout the South, but to put South-West whites in command of an institution practically on Tuskegee's grounds was intolerable.

Missouri Mobbists Under Indictment (By the Associated Negro Press.) Columbia, Mo.—At this writing the lynching grand jury here has indicted George Barkwell, a contractor, and four others, charged with first degree murder, the first time in the history of Missouri first degree murder has been charged in a lynching case. James T. Scott, a janitor at Missouri University, was done to death for an accused crime, while the sheriff meekly remained unwilling to do his full duty under oath in an attempt to protect his prisoner. Prosecuting Attorney Hulen has shown some determination, and if he goes through as he has started, there is some possibility a measure of justice will be secured and some of the shame of the community wiped out. However, the lynching of Roy Hammond at Bowling Green a few short months ago will not down. The authorities did not go very far in that. Attempts were made to furnish leads which would help them. These efforts, though, went for naught. At the session of the legislature immediately following Walthall Moore tried to get an anti-lynching bill passed, but it met with stern opposition from some of the members who gave as their excuse labor unions were opposed to such a law for fear it would be made applicable to them in labor troubles. All of which goes to show how helpless communities become in such a crisis in the face of local conditions of every sort and the necessity of a national law to wipe out this disgrace. It has developed that Mr. Scott, the man lynched, was highly respected and had been janitor for years at the university. At Columbia the stage is set for speedy convictions. Leaders of the mob can be identified by prominent white men who knew them personally. The community can secure convictions if it wants them. We will see whether or not white men desire to have their laws annulled by the fury of low-browed mobs or whether they prefer to recognize his majesty, Judge Lynch, in some cases when the life of a Negro is at stake. His vaunted civilization is on trial. WHAT ABOUT "JUNETEENTH?" Judging from the little interest now being manifested in the natal day of the colored race in this city, June 19th, The Informer wonders if the celebration next month will go by default? The head of the Emancipation Park board issued a call for a mass meeting last Monday night, but there were not enough citizens present to even hold a meeting; only two members of the park board even being present. This paper has noticed that interest in the "Juneteenth" celebrations has been dwindling and receding ever since the admission fee was abolished at the gate in connection with these annual events some years since and since it affords no opportunity for graft and "easy pickings," little more than passing interest is now taken in the celebration. Some say that the board is responsible for the present situation, in that the board operates the park all the year and yet refuses to shoulder the responsibility of staging and promoting the "Juneteenth" affairs in their entirety. The board comes back and says that the people have lost interest in the celebrations because there is no revenue produced making possible "graft" and division of the "spoils." In the meantime nothing is being done for the celebration at Emancipation Park on June 19th, and The Informer wonders if this lack of interest augurs the end of such annual gala occasions?

The Lord had revealed to Samne that one of Jesse's sons was to be new living. The last one of Jesse's sons was to be one of the first selection of the right one was a most important matter as deutines hung upon it. (Elilah rejected (vv. 6, 7). Elail was the oldest son, a therefore he was the first presented as having first right to the place of honor. Further, he was a splendid specimen of a man, tall and majestic in appearance so that even Samuel was captivated by him as he was the first one of the most put offereed appearance was favorable but the realities seen by God were against him. God knows whom He can trust with great responsibilities. He frees himself from the other culture, wealth and position. Those are only surface manifestations and frequently lead us astray, but God looks in the heart. (2) David Jones (vv. 12). All he has to do is to be looked upon by the same one he had looked up, but still the Lord's choice had not appeared. Jesse's reply to Samuel's question as to whether all his children had appeared seems to imply that he was not in such high status. He was considered good enough to watch the sheep but not important enough to be called to the feast. Because David was faithful as a sheep-husband, he was so much so much so far from when God's given time arrived. 3. David Anolonted (v. 13). When the shepherd Iad appeared, the Lord directed Samuel to anoint him. When the Lord came to the Lord, David was the gifted and attractive lad but this was of no avail without the Spirit of God.

In our last article, we discussed the different texts and rightly interpreted them to show that Scripture does not prove and can not be made to prove that the Negro was and is eternally to be inferior. We further showed that the curve was written by Alexander; Carthage, destroyed by Rome, and Palestine taken by Joahua. In this article we shall see if Noah Historic Characters That Noah, Japheth, Shephard, Ham, Nimrod, Abraham, shepherd, actual narratives, the director of the narratives and the general teaching of Scripture clearly indicate. Japheth Japheth was fair or white, to use a modern term. His sons were as follows: His Sons. Gomer, progenitor of ancient Cimersians and Cimbrim, from whom are descended the Celtic family, now known as Irish, Manz, Welsh, Cornish and Low Britons. Magog.

Mesheck was the king of the conquests of Peter the Great, and his successors, is the modern land of Magog, Tubal and Mesheck. **Tiras.** The last son of Japheth was Tiras, the father of the Thracians. In other words, Japheth was an Athenian stock, settled in Asia Minor, Media, Armenia, Greece and the islands of the Sons of Shem. Shem was the oldest son of Noah, although we have traced his descendents and their modern sons first. The sons of Shem are given as Elam, Asher, Arachp, Shad, Lud and Arom. Elam.

THOMPSON M. D. Foley's Bargain Basement Has Some Real Offerings For Thrilling Shopper: The Bargain Basement department operated by Foley Brothers Dry Goods Company, is a new departure in mercantile circles and is proving a very popular mecca for thrifty shoppers and those in quest of honest-to-goodness bargains. In this basement store every article is underpriced; the cash and carry policy obtains, which insures cheaper prices; and automatic reductions occur periodically—all these things working to the advantage of the buyer. For the last two months this store has been advertising this department in The Informer, not because of the management's desire to sell our people "cheap" goods in the generally accepted use of that term; but to acquaint the colored patrons with the genuine and dependable bargains offered in their basement store and thereby extending them an invitation through a race publication to visit and take advantage of the reall offerings in time to time. Read these ads that appear in The Informer weekly and you will join the large number of customers who have made Foley Brothers' Bargain Basement the mecca for those in quest of sure-enough bargains.

To avoid this uncalled for humiliation and unnecessary embarrassment, please visit our newspapers and unless you see business places advertising with some demeanor, you may enter your papers, stay out of those stores and urge your friends to do likewise. We declare the race's patronage will advertise in colored newspapers, and when they do not advertise in papers published by the race, it is a facade evidence that your patronage is not wanted, and it is up to us to make sure that you do not take in everything and give out nothing. The time has arrived for the colored people to have some racial self-respect and stop spending their money with merchants who are base ingrates and not Read the advertisements in all issues of your race newspapers and then spend your money properly by patronizing only those merchants and business institutions that It is a serious reflection upon our race to continue to enrich men who have our trade, and if we would only embody the few sacrifices by foregoing such purposive bargains, and of bargains, and go elsewhere 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.

Press dispatches in Sunday's newspapers told of the plans of white Mississippiians to hold monster meetings in every court house in that state on Saturday, May 19, to devise ways and means to check the migration of the colored people to the North and East. It is stated that this movement may become sectional, especially in those states where the labor shortage is precipitating an acute economic situation. It will be indeed interesting to see just what steps and actions these mass meetings will take regarding this exodus of the oppressed and repressed colored citizens of "Bam," many of whom opine that they "would rather freeze or starve to death in the North than to be burned to death in the South." Mass meetings and resolutions will not solve this problem, for the die has been cast. Once the colored man was satisfied and contented on the farms of Dixie, but injustices, inequalities and inhumanity have contrived to change his attitude, and, while all are not going North, there is a noticeable increase in the urban population and alarming decrease in the rural population. It appears that quite a number of Southern communities not only do not know that slavery has been abolished in this country, but on the contrary they are maintaining a species of peonage far worse than anything conceived or practiced during the period of human bondage. Previously the black man endured these evils and ills because he had no other alternative, but once other sections of the country began to bid for his services and offer better living and working conditions, the colored brother did what any other sensible man or race would have done under the circumstances. For nearly sixty years the colored man has been fed up on promises of "better times" and "a better day" in the South, but he is beginning to fear that he will have to live to attain the age of Methuselah before this "promised day" can even be discerned on the distant horizon. All of the colored people are not going to leave the South, but already sufficient numbers have migrated to other sections of the country to seriously affect the labor field. This is noticeably true in those Southern states that have treated the colored man the worse. Poor old Mississippi! Once upon a time her colored population exceeded her white population, and instead of trying to make good and worthy citizens out of the large black contingent, every conceivable and inconceivable plan and devise was resorted to in an effort to maintain these unfortunate and well night helpless people in dense ignorance and virtual servitude. The moral tone of the race was lowered by white men cohabitating women (and Miss Mississippi) is and was not the only Southern cohabitating girl of this particular species of nocturnal and clandestine "social equality") and Judge Lynch was invoked to "keep the nigger in his place." Large appropriations were made for the education of white children, with hardly a pittance set aside for the training of colored youths. Colored people were counted IN for representation purposes, but counted OUT when it came to voting for these same public officials. Here again the entire South is just, as guilty and culpable as Mississippi. It seems like the very irony of fate that Mississippi, the erstwhile and even present oppressor and bitter foe of the colored race, THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1923 should lead out in a movement to combat the exodus of her colored subjects. We wonder what steps will be taken to check this migration? Will mob-law become even more rampant in that state? Will ticket agents continue to refuse to sell tickets to colored people who desire to leave the confines of that hellish domain? Will shacks house colored scholastics and will short terms characterize the inefficient and rotten school system of that state. Will the courts of justice still deny the black man a fair and impartial trial and will peonage continue to thrive in its most degrading and shameful form? Will force be invoked and employed to combat this hegira or will the issue be met squarely and fairly by the white leaders of that state? And the whole South had better wake up and give this matter of treatment to the colored brother some earnest and sincere consideration or else depopulation of the farms and industrial plants will continue and the South will erre long become economically paralyzed and financially embarrassed. The only successful way to combat the exodus is for the South to accord the black man the same rights and privileges enjoyed by the other races in Dixie. The colored man must have nice school buildings, efficient teachers, better living conditions, higher wages, justice in the courts, the right of suffrage; in fact, a man's chance. If the South is unwilling to grant these rights and make possible a better day for the colored race in the South, then as long as other sections make more inviting and alluring offers to these malreated, underpaid and overworked colored laborers, they are going to migrate to such centers and no amount of coaxing nor nummerization, underpaid and overworked colored laborers, they are going to face to face with a real, honest-to-goodness problem and not a mere theory, for without man power very little can be accomplished on the farms and in the industrial plants of this section. The greatest drawback and hindrance to the solution of this vexing and perplexing problem is lack of moral courage. Moral cowardice never has settled an issue amicably, satisfactorily, and permanently and never will; and as long as the South dodges the issue and tries to evade the real point at issue, the present situation is going to obtain. "Nothing is settled until it is settled right!" This is an inescapable truth that needs to be brought very forcibly home to the South; for if conditions are ever to grow better in the South between the races, the South must accomplish this job, and the sooner this task is undertaken the better it will be for the South and nation. The South, in its policy of not wanting the black on one hand and not wanting him to leave on the other, reminds us of the lines in one of the familiar "blues" hits: "I don't want nobody who don't want me—don't you leave me here!" Selah! MASONIC BAND AND THINKING The members of the local Masonic band are complaining at what they term a "raw and rough deal" and many citizens are sharing the same viewpoint regarding the same. Since its organization, this band has willingly and readily played for various causes in this community without charging one penny, some time receiving a donation and more often not getting anything for services rendered. They felt that when they reached the point where they could render real first-class music and be equal to any occasion, they would get a chance to play for some events where a compensation was to be made for services rendered. For the last two years they have given free Sunday concepts at Emancipation Park and played at several local churches gratuitously. Last Thursday the May fete was staged at West End park and despite the sacrifices the members of the Masonic band have made in the past and the many free concerts they have given the people of this city, they were not given even an opportunity to toot a single horn at this event. It seems that nearly one hundred teachers donated 50c each for music and other incidental expenses (maybe it was all for music), but for some unknown reason, which has not been explained to the band men nor public, the Masonic band was conspicuous by its absence. The Informer is endeavoring to run the May fete nor does this paper desire to assail those who employed another band (that was their prerogative), but this paper would like to rise and ask, "Is this gratitude?" When the Great Teacher was asked a very pertinent question regarding the payment of taxes to the Roman government, He replied: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto the God the things that are God's." Certainly if Caesar deserved tribute (and not even the Great Teacher denied this fact), then the Masonic band is worthy of some consideration when a little money is available for paying for such music. The Informer has nothing against the musicians who played not the principals nor committee that hired them; but even the preceding Sunday this Masonic band played, by request of one of the local principals, at the N. A. A. C. P. meeting at St. James Church without pay, while they have played, without pay, two summers for the Emancipation Park board, with two principals serving as members of said board. The "boys" are sore, disgusted and disheartened and say that this was the "unkindest cut of all" and that hereafter those desiring their services will certainly "in front in." The great trouble with us as a people is that we do not think at right time; our hindsight being far superior to our foreseen. To illustrate: We visited a local ward school some time ago and after visiting the class rooms and witnessing the principal vote the children on how many read certain newspapers, very few hands went up when colored newspapers were mentioned; but when other race's papers were called, there were hands galore. After we had concluded our visit and we were about to leave, we asked the principal where we could purchase some big gijars and forthwith he directed us to a place operated by a foreigner. At that juncture we thought about a colored man who was operating a store in the next block and asked this principal if the race model did not carry big gijars. To which the colored principal replied, "Yes, he has gijars; but I never thought about him." Our main object in writing this editorial is to get our people, and especially our leaders, to see the necessity and importance of thinking about each other more and some things more often. One good turn deserves another and the doctrine of reciprocity should be taught both by precept and example. SUNLIGHT CHURCH HOLDS ANNIVERSARY COLUMBUS All Sunday schools were well attended. The weather is fair and farmers are well prepared for the situation by doing an essayary work to foster the work of both. Rev.

Hurtz, Schwartz and Liberty Streets, 904 Schwartz St., is the promoter of this show and has gathered about her a coterie of very pretty ladies—younes and a few other women, inure, and has arranged a program in keeping with the occasion with the Beauty Ross, the "Mme. Tut," and many of the latest styles in ladies' wear. The program includes fashion. Mrs. Hurtz has striven to have ever had in the way of style shows and is to be complimented or her unriting efforts in this direction has been associated with her in this effort and will give a demonstration of the WU ladies system of Hair and Beauty Cul DISTRICT PRESIDENT CREATING ENTHUSIASM AMONG MISSION SISTERS Mrs. Ida J. Echols, district president of Women's Home and Foreign Mission Societies of the A. M. E. Church again addressed women on mission activities, discussing "The Richest Dress Is Worn on the Soul." Among some of the interesting things said: "God has made it our highest and holiest duty to dress the soul. He has given us. If we as missionaries want to be an ornament to ourselves and a blessing to our race we must see that we are wearing the richest dress upon the soul, which is the grace of Jesus Christ, giving the world a pre-eminent vision of His righteousness and reality. If every young woman would think of her soul when she looks into the glass, would hear the cry of her naked mind when she dallies away her precious hours at her toilet; would listen to the sad moaning of her hollow heart, as if walls through her idle, useless life something would be done for the elevation of womanhood, and when God shall search Jerusalem with lamps and the hidden things of darkness shall be brought to light, may we all be found wearing the richest dress upon the soul." Roett, who will deliver an address on physical examination for children, and Dr. L. M. Mitchell, on the care of the temporary teeth. Program begins promptly at 3 o'clock. Come early and hear all of it. The entertainment for the campaign workers at the Center last Tuesday evening was full of interest and inspiration. Editor C. F. Richardson addressed the audience in his own inimitable way: Rev. G. Porter prayed and Mrs. Blanche Weston sang very sweetly. The reports at this meeting brought the amount of the financial campaign up to $1350.00. Special mention should be made of the finance committee, Mrs. J. W. Hubert, chairman, who raised $301.50 and of the committee on health education, Mrs. H. Mason Whitby, chairman, who raised $266.15. The next highest amount, $159.54, was reported by the Jennie B. Covington Club. The highest individual contribution, $50, was given by Mr. J. B. Grigsby. We mention these because they are outstanding, but every committee chairman and club president worked hard and got most excellent results—only we haven't space to mention all of them. Mrs. T. M.

PE-RUN-NA A Splendid Tonic For Spring and Summer Sold Everywhere Tablets or Liquid Mississippi Life Pays First Big Texas Claim The above is a facsimile reproduction of the check paid Mrs. Bertha Walis, wife of the late Dr. N. T. Walis, with three years' worth dentist who passed away in that city a few weeks ago. This is the first big policy the Mississippi Life Insurance Company has paid in Texas, having entered the state earlier year. This handsome check represents the amount paid the dentist's beneficiary on a policy that the had only been ridden for three quarters or less in the Texas. It is one of the old year and the face value was five thousand ($0,000) dollars, less the third quarterly premium, which was deducted. This is prima facie evidence that in the Mississippi Life Insurance Company is real insurance and refutes the argument so often advanced that colored insurance company cannot be relied upon to carry out the contract they make with those holding policies with them. The Mississippi Life, though practically new, is one of the old est and strongest insurance company owned and operated by colored men in the country, and is striving up a large business in this state by its own merits. The Houston district is under supervision of Mr. C. C. Stuart, maintains a suite of rooms in the long, large building at 8070 Prairie Dr. Mr. Stewart is a live wire in the insurance game and the Houston district is showing his direction and supervision.
