That, indeed, may be regarded as a Simon pure statement of the feeling of red-blooded republicans who, like the distinguished former senator of New Jersey, have discovered that neglect, indifference, and double dealing are prices that bring disaster. Newspaper comment on the appointment they have done what they could, but of Charles W. Anderson is generally not the answer. However, that if it is done to more for themselves than for the pooper holder the prospects of President Harding's re-election in 1924, it may be too late.

Senator LaFollette, elected as a republican, unqualified opponent of the president, has been a strong supporter of the next congress that will hold the "balance of power." On recommendation of Senator McCormick, republican, Illinois, efforts will be made to increase the number of appointments, and there is also considerable talk with reference to changing the rules that permit filibustering.

Senator Paul Pelosi, who must face the polls in 1824 for re-election. This is particularly true of senators, many of whom will be compelled to remember the experience of senatorial candidates in The Field of Leadership. Leadership has developed into a big topic for the open season of politics. "Who are the leaders, wherefore and why?" Answers to this question are and numerous as the ants of the proverbial seabore. The Church-Johnson-Howard Cohen and sometimes Matthews combination, promises to keep in the running, and hold the whip hand. They have the advantage of being, for the most part, on the ground and will need to show the people that, like Mary of old, they have done what they could. There are some who will say: "Yes Y. W. C.

If such a book can be, written about us when we pass from this life into the great beyond, we can never die. Such a book has just been published. It is called "Bert Williams—Son of Laughter." It is the true human document which the title tells, and tells the life story of one of the greatest men the race has ever known.

He laughed his way into the hearts of men and into the hearts of the greatest men of every race in the whole world. Mabel Rowland, a well-known writer and publicist, was Williams' confidential publicist and publicist for years. She has made the spirit of Bert Williams to shine out from every page of the book. When Miss Rowland first conceived the book the writer, she asked all of the most important people in the world of the theatre to write a page or a chapter. In consequence of this there are lengthy contributions by George M. Cohn, E. F. Aplin; the head Shipp and Rogers, the Negro writer who wrote all the Williams and Walker successes; David Belasco, who wrote the entire book to the book and wrote it as feeling as if Bert Williams did; and Miss Jesse Faust, whose articles are inspiring; Heywood Broun, who wrote so many titles championing the race; Frank Crane, whose criticism of the book is a gem; and Alex Rogers, who painted his bliss in the trail.

Me- brains 17:1-19. GOLDEN TEXT—Abraham believed God and it was counted upon him for recompense MATERIAL—Rosie Primary TOPIC—Abraham Obeying JUNIOR TOPIC—Abraham, the Man Intermediate AND SENIOR TOPIC—Abraham, the Friend of God Abraham, the Flowerer of Faith. 1. His Cell (Genesis 12:1-0). The human race, and thus, had failed, and now we see God's purpose as to the reward of the race taking shape, and to make him the head of a nation through when recompensation was given. 2. His Separation (v. 1). He was called to go out of his own country, to separate from his kindred and go to another land, and to very dear to his heart but they were to be given up that Abraham might be faithful. Abraham was living among idolaters; therefore he must separate and be very dear left behind for they were idolaters. Following God costs much that is dear and precious to us today. To attain that goal, we must live many things which are pleasant to the curare nature must be ascerti- 5. His Obedience (v. 4-5). Without question or delay Abraham took his son to the altar. Though he did not know whither he was going he knew that God had spoken. He has God's command and is enough for the child of faith. 11. Abrahams' Faith (Hebrews 11:3-10). Source was the Word of God. He had heard God's call. Because God had spoken to him he went forward. Faith takes God at his word. He never settled down anywhere even in the land of promise. He was a true pilgrim. He was constricted to pass through the desert fixed on a city which had foundations whose builder and maker was God. The Christian does not sit down in the city to make his home. He lives in the world but is not of it. His citizenship is in Heaven. 12. Abrahams' Faith (11:17-19). 1. At the Command of God He offered Up Inac. His Only Son. (v. 17). Going into an unqin country was impossible. He sat at the altar of sacrifice. But he who had received God in going out from his country through the supreme test. 2 The Promise of Blessing Was Wrapped up in Isaac. (v. 18). It was given to Abraham by God, the descendant of Abraham but this particular child. The way seemed dark and the command conditioned with the great difficulties. Surprises Vesuvius (v. 19). Abraham so completely trusted God that he was willing to go all the way with Him, being assured that God would in order to make good his promise. Hope. Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsale friendly; not the man for who can travel alone, but a traveling companion—Haliburton. Answer Knot at Your Door.

That the known bondholders, mortgages and other security holders own 1 per cent or more total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other secured (My commission expires June 30, 1923.) TAKING INTEREST IN VITAL MATTERS. TAKING INTEREST IN VITAL MATTERS. The Informer has repeatedly counseled and advised the colored citizens of Houston to take more interest in vital matters, especially civic issues, questions and propositions that are decided at the ballot box. Every year this paper devotes column after column of space urging our people to qualify as voters by payment of the poll tax or securing of exemption certificates during the allotted time for obtaining such. To show what little interest most colored Houstonians have in public questions and in qualifying to vote in the various elections confronting the electorate during the year, was manifest recently in the petitions circulated by former operators of the San Felipe jitney line. In order to have the matter of the abolition or re-establishment of this colored jitney line, which was abolished some bit ago by city hall dictum (while permitting all the white lines to operate) put up to voters, it was necessary to get signatures of ten per cent of the votes cast in the last city election, which would automatically compel the city council to submit the issue or proposition to a popular vote. After weeks of efforts, these former colored jitney operators were not able to secure enough qualified voters among the colored contingent to make it mandatory upon the city council to submit the matter to the electorate, despite the fact that only 3,000 or not more than 3,500 signatures of qualified voters were necessary. This does not necessarily mean that less than this number of colored people had qualified as citizens and voters, despite the fact that any number of the former San Felipe jitneymen had failed to qualify as voters; but it reveals an utter lack of interest in civic matters, even though they directly and vitally affect our group. Then, too, we do not give enough serious thought and consideration to the poll tax requirement, as is evidenced in the large number of able-bodied men and women who will tell you right off the reel they have not paid any poll tax and do not intend to pay it. Yet these same persons are always belly-aching, whining and complaining about our "sad and unfortunate lot," when they are largely responsible for this condition by absolutely refusing to qualify as citizens and then exercising that right when the occasion presents itself. In a democratic republic such as ours, wrongs are generally righted at the ballot box, even voters operating negatively oftimes to obtain a positive result. Some of our people argue that, since they can not vote for city officials in the democratic primary, they will not pay the poll tax, and, many of those who qualify, take only passing notice of special elections and even general elections. On Monday, April 9, which is next week, the voters of the city will be called upon to pass judgment upon a $1,250,000 bond issue for civic improvement and progress. This money, if the bond issue carries, will be spent as follows: $200,000 for gravel streets, $500,000 for permanent street parking, $250,000 for drainage sewers, $150,000 for White Oak Bayou driveway and $150,000 for Buffalo Bayou driveway. Every qualified voter can cast a ballot in this election, if he or she owns any taxable property, whether same has been assessed or not; which virtually means that every man and woman who has paid the poll tax or secured an exemption certificate is eligible to vote in next Monday's election. It seems that quite a number of colored people in Houston are really afraid to vote, fearful that they will offend somebody in the "other race" or that somebody will do them bodily injury if they appear at the polls to vote. Too many of us are like babies when vital matters are submitted for a vote of the people and hunt all kinds of excuses and alibis for not voting; yet when members of the other races go to the polls and speak with the ballot, often increasing the taxes of all property-owners and the rent of all renters, you ought to hear the wail and lamentations that emanate from the house of Ethiopia within the confines of this municipality. The passive citizen—the person who is qualified to vote and yet will not vote—is not only a community liability, but often his passiveness becomes a menace to civic progress, growth and expansion. If a person does not favor a proposition, he should not refrain from voting, but should vote his conscientious convictions on all matters and should perform this duty without fear or favor. Let every qualified colored voter go to the polls Monday, April 9, 1923, and cast a ballot in the special election on the $1,250,000 bond issue for civic improvements. It is your indispensable and holdy duty to vote, either in the affirmative or negative. By all means, VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! As citizens of this great and growing city, let us take more interest in vital matters and civic issues, and gradually conditions will be changed as they affect our particular group in "heavenly Houston." HOLDING A NATIONAL CONFERENCE Several national race leaders have sent out "feelers" to ascertain the attitude and opinion of leaders in various sections of the country regarding the calling and holding of a national conference or convention during the summer months, probably in Chicago. The object of this national gathering will be to discuss the present political and economic situation as it relates to our racial contingent and to determine upon a course of action, politically. A similar meeting was held under the auspices of the Lincoln League at Chicago during February, 1920, at which time several presidential aspirants and "favored sons" addressed the representative colored delegates from all parts of the country. Since that epocalyptic the republican party has both forsaken and deserted the colored brother, and, in keeping with its apostatical policy, the erasleth "grand old party" has degenerated into a political prodigal and departed from its father's home with its ancient landmarks, tenets, principles, traditions and dogmas. Colored voters have been seduced, betrayed and outraged by republican leaders, both state and national, and no voice has been raised against this pernicious and insidious program that snacks more of "ily-whiteism" than the bourbon democrats. Even in the debatable and pivotal states of the North and Middle West, where the colored voters constitute the balance of power, the colored brother has failed to get the recognition of the republican leaders that he was wont to receive in the days of yore. In the South the colored race has been virtually eliminated and ostracized, politically, and thus the present political situation leaves the entire colored citizenry of America in an awful muddle. We are practically "in status quo" and unless we confer and outline some definite program, enunciate a well-outlined policy and serve notice on the leaders of the major parties that the day of treating with colored Americans as children or mere toys has passed, political servitude will not only be our portion, but will be bequeathed to our posterity as a political heritage. Something must be done and done effectively and in a manner that cannot be misunderstood nor misinterpreted by the "powers that be," especially in republican councils. Not only have colored federal appointments been few and far between during the present republican administration, but republican leaders have weekly and cowardly submitted to filibustering tactics of the democratic minority on matters of vital interest and importance to the American citizenry in general and the colored group in particular. While no party's fairness nor square deal to a people should be determined by the number of aspirants appointed to office or permitted to feast at the pie-counter, nevertheless there has been a flagrant disposition on the part of the so-called republican leaders to banish the entire colored race to the political isle of St. Helena. Seeing the handwriting on the wall and being able to read and interpret it, it is high time for the leading colored thinkers (not particularly the politicians and office-seekers) to get together and formulate a policy that will serve notice to the political barons and autocrats of the country that the present situation calls for a new deck and a new deal. A national conference of race leaders at Chicago or some central point strikes The Informer as a capital idea, and by all means let us not permit grass to grow under our feet, neither let us shirk in the face of our imperative duty to our racial group and social fabric, SOUTHEAST GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HEALTH, HYGIENE AND SANITATION tooth is embedded in a bony halo and is in hold place by tissues called the periosteal membrane and the gum, or gingiva. From any cause whatsoever the retentive structures of a tooth mean the bony processes of the jaw, the membrane surrounding the root of the gum—become the root of an inflammatory condition, they suffer the root, and then they properly support the tooth. A very slight bromide, mornane, or swelling of the soft tissues may be the only appreciable evidence of an inflammation in its ensilent stage, but if the condition is permitted to adhere the tooth will, self-formly, come loose. It is only fair that I state at this juncture that there is a division of opinion among donors as to what it is necessary to perform pyrethrum. Some hold that it is usually performed, some say not, or some say systematic treatment of pyrethrum eminence multitinct that it is of purely educational value to treat it, and that it is the careful removal of all tartar deformations of pyrethrum patches, and the correction of defects in the chewing apparatus. The membrane that holds the teeth and it mounts only not only the certain hardness of the teeth but also the left absence. If you have pyrethrum, have it treated. If you do not have pyrethrum, if you have your mouth that you will enjoy. DR. L. M. MITCHELL Dr. Lewis M.

SHADOWERS, M.D. Office: 4018 11th Floor, Phone Number 888 EVILS OF MASTURBATION I am requested by a few hundred boys in a local college to repeat the article on "Masturbation." Many definitions have been offered for masturbation, but my own home made definition and understand it is an act of satisfying the sexual appetite other than normal colt. This satisfaction is had in any number of ways, men of broader experience claim that the habit begin in adolescence and continue in infancy. A few of the implements by the act which are committed are as follows: Friction against thighs, the imagination, the constriction of the organ between pillows or other object. Females make use of the fingers of their hands to constrict the organ among some of those attending board schools to employ the candle, e.g., a specialist sexual neurosis writes that 95% of grown up people have sometime in the past masturbated in some form or another. Masturbation is not a normal activity and cases not excepting genorrhia or syphilis. A German authority considers it psychological and other author states that a boy or man who says that he has never masturbated is still masturbitated. Let us consider some of the causes of this condition: Playing with the genitalis, local irritation, irritation by coughing, ingestion, due to tight gums, irreresponsible nurses sometimes quiet crying children by ticking the genitalis. The pleasurable relief that comes from coughing and pressing the ticks together very often encourage the habit of maturation. Among the school children the habit is taught to the older ones. The ticks can cause sinus and symptoms. Redness and sometimes inflammation of the prepuce in the male and of the vulva in the female, sometimes a slight vagina irritation, and plain to their family physician about Dental Talks (By DR. C. A. GEORGE.) Diseases From Bad Teeth Because of our almost innumerable violations of the laws of health, we civilized them either directly or indirectly by creating cohesive forces of our bodies to such extent that the employment of preventive or prophylactic measures in absolutely essential to our physical health and physicians and dentalists feel duty-bound to warn both young and old against the dangers which always attend oral ulceration. Of the food which accumulate in the many invisible recesses about the teeth and gums form ideal breeding places for the germ that are constantly entering the mouth and set up by the germ colonies are highly ingrushion to the tooth structure, and unless they are frequently dislabeled by the use of a brush and an anti-irritant decay in almost certain to follow. A foul mouth and decaying teeth, particularly in children, increase the chances of catching contagious diseases and alpherhea, alpherhea and tabaccalia. Cavities in teeth are known to have or contain germs of these diseases, which enter the body through the recesses of the mouth. Some assume that these cavities would be equally inoculated in incubators for these and other diseases. Every time a person with a mouth infection throws out pores that they throw out pores to harm other people. The mouth which seldom gets cleaned will usually be full of decaying teeth, with disease germs in them. They will have pieces or roots in their teeth that are not being found around the teeth and the gums, all of which make more and more danger in the mouth; besides it will cause pain and discomfort. In one school 198 children were an unashed, 537 cavities were found, 64 being in the permanent teeth; 50 of these children had had scarlet fever, 232 cavities were found in their teeth. Pyorrhea One of the most common and one of the most affectionate involving the teeth is the dumbbell dislocation among dental and medial incisors. This is a common problem in pyrethrum alveolitis, because as this condition is characterized by a flow of pus from the mouth as you bite well, such an CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS Deer Gus: de eum de wether' the dun ghe nutty; de晋 duv uis dunkry's bin diat way ever anne Killer Bill shot to hat at 'em aun' so snuck 'em wid so miny diffrenr toun de wether de weed wood je enn jes en de wether de weed joke enn jes de wether l'Ke time tine for me ter up in de ole antic ain' hunt 'rom in de ole trunks an' bases an get out my la yes' haw stray hain an hang out de remunts u my haw tain an hang out de remunts u knurtry wether keepers me gland inter dase ole wore out an hyla patched up unions, an my ole lupided cote wether hed pice.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923. "One of the clearest things about 'To the Ladies,' the satirical little book by the author, is the name of the Worth-Company's selling at, the Prince next week, in its name. It is a tribute to our national efficiency expert, the late William Worth, and manipulines, how she pulls the business out of the hands of our human husband from a cleakship to a secretary's desk, and thence into the business that make their case of duty to them that make their case of uniting the audience to write and have the name American wife to have. And have the name American wife to have and protect, even if she has to get down on her knees to do it. And have the name American wife to have the wonderful eyes of the authors. Big names also come in for its sharp criticism." The white comedy of "To the Ladies" is that whatever success man can achieve in life, in this little world of ours, women represent the brains and minds of the women in our comedy. In it the women who really make the wheels of industry whirl; man is almost an inconsequential apperance in the instrument to carry out her plans.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 UNION HOSPITAL: PUBLIC AND DOCTORS UNION HOSPITAL: PUBLIC AND DOCTORS The recent resignation of Mr. James B. Grigsby from the presidency of the board of directors and trustees of Union Hospital, has been the subject of much discussion on the streets, and, while he attributed his resignation to stress of business, many are of the opinion that there are other reasons which he did not care to express. It was and is very unfortunate for the hospital movement to lose the executive services of such an able and successful business man as Mr. Grigsby, but what has been done has been done. His successor, Prof. W. L. Davis, while he does not suffer by comparison, is likely to find it a little more difficult now to harness and marshal the forces under existing conditions. Let us state right here that The Informer is not endeavoring to knock nor discourage the hospital movement, but we might as well face the issue now and get over with the spasm and solidify our forces for the successful culmination of this needed and worthy institution. The colored people of this city, like all cities where any number of our people reside, certainly need a hospital, and it is a reflection upon our boasted numerical strength, financial accumulations and intellectual attainments and qualifications that heretofore we have been accustomed to work in Houston—one that is a real credit to our group and city, where our people can secure the best in medical service and surgery. But for a hospital movement to succeed in Houston or any other town, the doctors, themselves, must lead out in the movement—not with the "rule or ruin" policy, but motivated by an earnest and sincere desire to make it possible for them to administer to the wants and needs of suffering humanity in a more efficient, thorough, painstaking, proficient and scientific method. Expressed in the language of the streets, the doctors must get to the district, all little petty jealousies, quit knocking and panning each other, inject a little more ethic in their profession and join forces for one common end—to serve their fellowman, in the greatest science known to man, in the most intelligent and efficient manner. Take the local situation: In this city, with less than twenty colored physicians, they are divided, almost hopelessly and beyond redemption, into at least three factions or may clans is a better word. It can be said to the credit of a few of our local physicians of color that they take no particular interest nor part in fictional fights and differences; yet entirely too many of them do and their profession, their race, their city and the human family are sufferers as a consequence of this cheap, designing, unbecoming, unethical behavior. The average layman knows nothing about the needs and advantages of a hospital and is totally unfit and unprepared to even give the matter much worth-while consideration. The hospital movement is just not in his line. Suppose a movement were launched for the advancement and promotion of the teaching profession or any other vocation, do you suppose the members of this profession or any other hereditary or callings would sit supinely by and trust other people to push and put over the teaching profession in teaching, experience and financial remuneration to them and their cause? Yet that is just what the vast majority of the colored doctors of Houston are doing; their motto seems to be, "Let George and Bill do it." While on this subject of the doctors and their relation and responsibility to the public, permit us to make this digressive observation. Too many of our local colored physicians are too self-centered, egotistic, selfish and exclusive—living all to themselves and per- PAGE FOUR IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS: receipt when paying your subscrip- tions to unauthorized repres- tive will have receipt books.

If you doubt this charge or assertion, visit any local church or attend any civic or commercial meeting and you will note that our doctors are conspicuous by their absence, and yet they are always having on the race, and we have some splendid ones in Houston), but these doctors must not be like the Dead Sea: take and rake in everything and give out virtually nothing. There is a hospital movement under way in Washington, D. C., and the colored doctors of that city led in a financial drive with donations and pledges, several pledging as high as $1000 and none less than $250. Those doctors know that the success of a colored hospital in their city will mean much to them in medical and surgical experience and perseverance in more recent days. Instead of investing all their surplus money in rent houses and real estate and living in a little shell of exclusiveness and self-complacency, they are wise enough to visualize the future and even make sacrifices to establish and make possible an institution that will mean incalculable good to both their profession and racial contingent in latter years and even right now. In Houston about nine colored doctors presented the new Union Hospital with equipment worth about $1500, perhaps, which was transferred from the old hospital, and some of them seem to think that the new hospital is better than the old one. This was a commendable act, and, while these particular physicians deserve praise for what they have done, this one deed will not suffice for the success of the hospital undertaking. The South Secretary Like most moves in birth in a great people of the South differences and uses of better thing. The Negro soldier played well his prize home-land with bitterness. To his progress see Af race riots broke a general race conflict country, a group of wives that the good wintion secured between the two races. The race conflict between a number of colored men and a platform upon which It requires real, honest-to-goodness money to put over any kind of a meritorious project and a hospital movement is no exception to the general rule. If the Union Hospital is to become a real institution and function as such plants do among other races and even among our race in Houston, the Union Hospital will be forced to change their present attitude toward each other and the hospital movement and unite their forces and even contribute of their means to make this movement go over big. This editorial is not intended as a tribute upon the colored physicians per se, but we merely wish to call attention to certain impediments and hindrances to the hospital movement, which must be removed if the venture is to be successful and have any degree of permanency and stability to it. In colored people need a hospital in Houston badly and on this point we must be the existing conditions its realization will be difficult of attainment. To stand back, criticize, knock, tell "how it ought to be done," or "can't be done" and then refuse or fail to contribute one thought or penny where it can accomplish something tangible and concrete, may show the smartness of the knocker and know-all, but it nets the hospital movement and the race no appreciable results. The colored doctors of Houston owe the race and society more than they are according either and the sooner they pay this debt, they will be for all concerned. If the physician is not in or manifest hardly passing interest in the movement and fail to lead out in putting over the hospital undertaking, it is utter folly and inconsistency to expect the public to become interested and concerned in the project. CHICAGO'S MUNICIPAL ELECTION That the colored brother is no longer hog-tied to the republican party was very convincingly and thoroughly demonstrated in the recent municipal election held in Chicago. The democrats and republicans had candidates for the mayoralty office, but the democratic candidate, Judge Dever, ran roughshod over ex-Postmaster Lueder, republican candidate. The black vote has, for the last eight or ten years, been the balance of power in the political campaigns waged in the Windy City, ex-Mayor Thompson winning repeatedly with the heavy colored vote in that city. But the forces supporting Candidate Lueder were very offensive and objectionable to the colored voters and Lueder himself was accused of race discrimination when he was head of the Chicago办公楼 in that city. Then, too, he is a Protestant and it was charged that he was a klansman or friendly disposed towards that distasteful organization of "invisibility," religious intolerance and racial hatred. Candidate Dever is a Catholic, and, while supported by the democratic party, his record and attitude towards the colored citizen won him a place in the hearts of the black voters and the unexposed occurred. Candidate Third Wards, always republican strongholds, with large colored population, gave Dever a handsome majority over Lueder, and thus Chicago has its first democratic mayor in nearly a decade. President Harding, in his celebrated Birmingham speech, admonished and advised the colored brother to divide his vote; to support men rather than measures, principles rather than parties and to avoid issues, and the colored voters of the North are trying to obey the laws, sagacious and gratuitous advice of the nation's chief executive. In the congressional election last fall, several democrats were sent to congress and several republicans retired to private life by the votes of colored electors in the so-called pivotal and debatable states. Maps these distinguished solons, who were made extinguished, speaking politically, by these colored voters, who are disaffirmed with the program and policy of the "grand purity" and took President Harding at his Dixie admonition, have wished a many time that the president had spoken on a different subject. The Chicago Tribune, which has made countless number of enemies among the colored citizens of Chicago, by its unfair attitude and journalistic antipathy and prejudice toward the colored race, supported Lueder, and that alienated the colored voters in large numbers. Black man is becoming an independent factor in the politics of the North and East is becoming more and more evident with each election, and it is enough to throw consternation in the camp of republicanism, where for years the colored brother has been its most loyal and dependable adherent, supporter, devotee and standby. But past blessings will not suffice and the colored brother is concerned more in what those in office and power TODAY are doing and going to do for their group than those in office and power YET are doing them or their forbears. This sweeping democrats should serve notice to the republicans of the nation that "times that used to be are no more," as far as the colored voter is concerned. Whether the colored Chicoagans acted wisely in accepting Dever and rejecting Lueder, time alone will prove; but it certainly demonstrated one patent and pertinent fact, viz: intelligent and upright, and the ability of the men in the name, bibliohole, stereotyped campaign slogans, and the customary bosh and bumcome connected with political campaigns. Politically, we are truly entering upon a new era, and, unless republican leaders recognize this fact and adopt and pursue a new political agenda, their chances of victory in several pivotal and debatable states are, day by day, in every way, getting slimmer and slimmer.
