Southerners Colored P Manning Southerners Object To Colored Professionals Manning USV Hospital (By the Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga.—The fight which ordered men and women here and insure the U. S. Veteran's Hos with colored doctors and nurses Southerners. The governor of A. and Georgia congressional delegates representives have wired in an effort to have white to of this hospital for Negro veter Atlanta, Ga.—The fight which is being waged by prominent colored men and women here and in other sections of the country to insure the U. S. Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee, being manned with colored doctors and nurses is being fought bitterly by white Southernners. The governor of Alabama, members of the Alabama and Georgia congressional delegations and various other Southern representatives have wired and are sending pleas to Washington in an effort to have white men and women placed in charge of this hospital for Negro veterans. It is being contended that not enough competent professional colored men and women are available among colored people, the white doctors of the hospital, are not being present in important positions manned by whites with colored people performing the lesser and poorer paid tasks, such as orderliness, staff nurses, etc. It is said that the hospital would be brought to bear Dr. R. M. Dr. to have him advocate the placing of white people in these positions. Colored leaders are watching the situation closely and are contending that the hospital would be brought to bear wounded and colored soldiers of the great war who have been shamelessly neglected in the white hospitals which have previously had charge of them, that they shall have capable and sympathetic care possible. It is feared that Dr. Motton has forced into a conciliatory position by these Southern influences who are working so actively against colored men and women. The indictment which could have been brought against the United States government in the way in which they have abandoned the black boys to bear the burden from overseas wounded and maimed. In many of the hospitals managed by Southern whites they are said to have been placed in basements, outhouses, and hospitals of the greatest care and attention. Colored doctors and nurses who are willing to serve in this hospital are urged to write U. S. Veterans Bureau, Washington, D.C., to commit a charge of a branch of the colored veterans' bureau and if the application is approved, and his credit will be approved, the proper authorities. JONES' TAILOR SHOP OPENS MODERN PLANT IN INDEPENDENCE HTS In order to maintain his standard of service, to meet competition and make a place for more members of the race, Mr. P. K. Jones, head of Jones Tideway, will be moving to announce the establishment of shop No. 2 at Columbia and Thirty-First Street. Independence Height. The telephone number of this new shop is Taylor 226, and it will serve the residence of that section of the community. In speaking of his business, Mr. Jones said: "We maintain a very high standard of tailoring, stitching and printing, which is equaled by few and surpassed by none. We employ the most efficient help obtainable, in order to give our customers and patrons the proper service. We have the co- BISHOP COMES TO BOYNTON SUNDAY. Pishop Robert R. Jones, D. D., LL. A.M.

It is heared that Dr. Moton may be forced into a conflictive position by these Southern influences who are working so actively against colored doctors and trained nurses. The worst conflictive force brought against the United States government is the way in which they have abandoned the brave black boys who returned from overseas hospitals. In many of the hospitals managed by Southern whites they are said to have been placed in hasements, out-houses and to have received the most disreputable care and attention of the staff. They are willing to serve in this hospital are urged to write S. V. Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. D. R. Dr. A. J. C. Washington, D. C. Dr. A. J. C.

Operation of our assistants in using every effort to give patron the best service and satisfaction that can be rendered. We boast on service, because we have the necessary equipment to want the people of this city to know that we are knocking at their doors; their business is what we want; service in what they must have. This Independence Heights shop, like the Third Ward plant, will stress service and Mr. Jones should get the people in that section, but he merits it by the high-class work turned out by his two shops. FIRST MEETING IN 30 YEARS. Mr. J. C. McAllister, Cranny, was in the city Monday to meet his brother, Mr. T. J. McAllister of St. Louis, Mo. he had been in thirty years. It is a moment happy neither and reunion at the Union Station when the I. G. N. train arrived Monday after noon. BOYNTON SUNDAY. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 South Must Protect Negro In Every Way The foregoing letter justifies the publication of a letter written more than a month ago by the editor of this book, Mr. Frank H. Cockerdar, the deputant of the DeBardeen Coal Company of Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Pies had made an admirable address on the Negro in the town of Birmingham, and to itself, Mr. Frank H. Cockerdar, president of the Wooldron Iron Company of Birmingham, sent a copy of that address with his heart commenting on the Negro in the Alabama and the editor wrote Mr. Pies as follows: "Through the kindness of Mr. Cockerdar I am just in receipt of a copypley of your address before the Alma Negro and the Alabama and the Negro." I call it "The South and the Negro," for the subject you have discussed not merely to Alma, but to the whole people. "I am very glad that you have discussed this subject so clearly and forly, for the South needs to study the Negro in the Alabama and the Negro, in heart sympathy with the idea that it is incumbent upon the white people of the South to protect the Negro in every legal way. We have an understanding of our responsibility in that respect. "I have made a number of addresses in times past in which I have pointed out the harm that prevailed to the Negro in Alabama, prior to the civil war, and gave up satisfied the faithfulness of the Negroes who during the civil war protected the home left at home and the Negroes which made possible the maintenance of the war for four years. I have pointed to the fact that not until the carcagger bats we formerly called the Negro came into the South after the civil war and stirred up hatred on the part of Negroes against the white conditions which have prevailed since. From 1865 to 1876, bolsterists—worse even, I think, than the bolsterist of the 1870s—were the criminality of effort—largely dominated the Nogresses, and out of that came the race hatreds which developed, and which led to the rise of those criminal white people. "On the other hand, the better class was the one who served to the tank of protecting the "HOUSTON'S GOT 'EM" The white people of the South depend to a very large extent upon the Negroes as cooks, as housemaids, as a source of that food that is able that the Negroes are not property trained in mortality, property abducted, and every religious influence imposed on them, and the housemaids and the nurses can be otherwise than a curse to the white families of the South, instead of the kitchen and our houses clean then. must be kept clean by the servants who can never be trained to do good work unless they are given the opportunity of cleanliness in their own homes. "If we have the white children of the South, from hambly up to youth, properly trained we must see that we are trained to help the millions of Negroes, are properly trained and fitted for this tremendous responsibility in helping to shape the lives of the millions of children committed to their care an nurse. We are trained to will very largely depend upon how the white people of the South cooperate for the betterment of the Negro population. The white man who mistreats or cheats a Negro deserves the severest punishment, and women, for the responsibility that rests upon a superior race to protect and safeguard an inferior race is of such a character that he who violates the laws of the Negroes very acts shepherds his own and mans his self a cure rather than a blessing. "Until the white men and women of the South united work for the safeguarding of every right of the Negro, and for the protection of the institutions under which many Negroes are living, for the betterment of their housing, and for giving to them the advantages which make possible a higher civilization, the South will have a duty in itself and to the Negroes. "Some time into a cook who has been in my family for thirty years spoken of some of her friends and said that she cleaned and yet gave them no facilities for cleanliness. They work. they work around a hot room, doubling, and then their folks demand that they keep clean and give them no facilities. How true this is. The harder, and the hotter, and the drier the work done by men and women, the more thoroughly do they need bathrooms if cleanliness is to be made. They have a kitchen and a kitchen an unclean cook. These are some of the thoughts which I have often expressed in the past, and which have been brought to my mind again by reading your intercourse upon your having expressed the matter so very clearly and forcibly. I trust the circulation in pamphlet form of your address may do great good." JOIN HUSTON C. O'DAY: "JOIN HUSTON C. O'DAY: BANK MOVEMENT GIVEN IMPETUS; C.C.C. DRIVE ENDS The quarters of the Houston Colored Commercial Club were packed and jammed Monday night despite the rain and mud, with local race men who relied on the club for all citizens interested in a bank and trust company here, manned, owned and operated by members of the race.

Administration free from Charge Democrats Will Seek Colored Votes In Presidential Campaign (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York.—"Republicans of a game right and, or deliver, 1924 prise of their life so far as the above statement was main standing, who says he is "looking guided by wishes and sentiments in New York, Chicago, Detroit afforded the inspiration for opinions as a man familiar with facts of the case are these: Nor to nominate a democratic for preside" to Northern colored voters. They are going to declare that will give better treatment to the party is now constituted. They are going to say: "Indent, because of Southern influence then the democratic mayors and Northern states will make up the New York—"Republicans of the North must wake up, play the game right and deliver, or 1924 will afford them the greatest surprise of their life so far as the colored vote is concerned." The above statement was made by a republican of well-known standing, who says he is "looking facts in the face and is not being guided by wishes and sentiment." The recent trend of elections in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City and other centers afforded the inspiration for his remarks. He expressed his opinions as a man familiar with his subject. The cold, unvarnished facts of the case are these: Northern democrats are going to seek to nominate a democrat for president who will not be "objectionable" to Northern colored voters. They are going to declare that a "Northern democratic president will give better treatment to colored voters than a republican, as the party is now constituted." They are going to say: "In any event, if a democratic president, because of Southern influence, will not measure up to desires, then the democratic mayors and governors of the big cities and Northern states will make the difference." On this basis, it can be stated with "way below par," so far as the "colored organization" is already formed a skeleton organization will be stated that "Miracles colored voters to the democratic party in 1924. It is promised that the skeleton organization will be, whipped into shape by master politicians of both races, who will be amply supplied with the necessary locket of Pennsylvania, for carry on an intensive warfare." Trend of Events. The trend of events point to the fact that the democrat of New York may have three candidates in the go-to race, William Kandam and Hearst. The first two, broadly uncontested, populate with the colored voters, and the latter from all indications, in playing the role of a mediator, prove to be a marvel of the times. The colored voter is more than in a "list ending mood," from an unbtained incidences, he is in an "active mood." The new candidate has that a direct appeal. Henry Ford of Detroit, John H. Clarke, former U.S. supreme court judge, of Ohio, the newly elected Mayor Dever of Chicago, takes at the facts in a cold-blooded practical light, it is argued that the stock of the Harding administration is COLORED OIL COMPANY GETS TANGIBLE ASSETS; CHARTER IS DUE SOON The colored oil corporation, hamched during the winter by Mr. H. L. Mims, local race man and authority on oil in substantial accumulations and valuable assets, according to a statement issued to the various stockholders. The following is taken from the letter: "We have applied for charter and have paid £29 in fees and charges. The following properties are held in trust and will be turned over to the company when the charter is received and filed. Ten acres in Archer County, Texas, five acres in Grady County, Oklahoma—Cement field extension and known as the Chickasaw gas field, greatest gas field in American acres in Archer County, Texas—locker field in Hancock县 subject to payment of rent; one-half interest in 40 acres (subject to certain conditions) in Woodtown, Texas—locker field in Texas, with well due to be started by May 1: 1/2/3 of all oil produced on 20 acres block 35, Moran field, with now well drilling.

He expressed his his subject. The cold, unvarnished then democrats are going to seek idiot who will not be "objectiona" a "Northern democratic president voted versus a republican, as any event, if a democratic presice, will not measure up to desires, a governors of the big cities and a difference." "way below par," so far as the "colored members of the order are concerned." It is stated that "Mirada will have to be performed by president, senators, and republican governors a number of voters before the old time faith is restored."

A bond issue for $3,000,000 for school purposes will be submitted to the voters of the Houston independent school district on Monday, May 7. At this election the voters will also decide whether future school boards, under provisions of the amended charter, are to be appointed or elected by popular vote. In issuing a detailed statement some weeks ago, the school board stipulated how the money would be spent in event the bond issue carries and included in the proposed school program a junior high school for colored children residing in Fifth Ward. Nothing was said about improving conditions around the ward schools for colored children, despite the fact the Colored High Gregory, Dunbar, Langton and other such schools are totally inadequate and unfit for school purposes and are really a menace and hindrance. Take the Colored High School: The present enrollment is above 1000, with an average attendance of 900 students. There are seats for only 500, forcing practically 400 to stand or sit cramped up in a seat with another pupil all day. The students are compelled to play out in the streets, doing so at a hazard, oftimes, to their very lives. Classes are held in a low, dark and damp basement, wholly unfold and totally inadequate for school purposes, while the building would hardly do credit to a town of 10,000 population. The other three colored school schools enumerated above are frame structures, one of which is likely to fall when a good gust of wind strikes it a center blow; while all of them are in a diapidated condition and one is situated in the center of a young lake, which undermines the health of both the teachers and pupils, with the teachers being died out of Gregory School than any other school in the system. The Booker T. Washington, Douglass and Harper Schools are hardly any better, the teachers and pupils being forced to wade in water and mud to reach the latter during rainy spells. The buildings are frame and two of them have verily seen their best use in the school certificate, a public school building and with stoves for heating purposes during the winter, they are likewise a fire hazard, continually and constantly endangering the lives of pupils and teachers. Just what the school authorities plan in improving these schools by replacing these old structures with modern buildings and in rendering and maintaining the conditions and environments healthy and wholesome, has not been divulged through public print. The colored voters should certainly manifest more than passing interest in this election, for it will profit the race absolutely nothing to wait until the election is over and then whine and belly-above what we ought to have. The colored voters, in forces, appoint a representative committee to meet and confer with the school board with a view of ascertaining how much and where will this money be spent for colored schools. Such procedure will be perfectly within our rights and we shall be exercising the prerogatives of citizenship to at least make an effort to find a place where we come in. The colored voters and forces and then spend practically $280,000 for white schools and about $200,000 for one school building for colored children or turn over to them an antiquated building now employed by white children, will not have the remotest semblance of justice, a fair and square deal. But unless we get busy, organize our forces and endeavor to get something tangible and concrete in appropriations for better and more efficient use of colored scholastics, we shall have nobody to blame but ourselves. People seldom get all they ask for and where they ask for nothing, nothing they shall receive. Selah! THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 THE "THIRD DEGREE" AGAIN. (The Houston Chronicle.) More than once in the recent past the Chronicle, performing what it conceived to be its duty to the public, has editorially condemned in public statements the practice of arrest of what has come to be known in the common vernacular as "the law." It is not necessary to consume space by attempting any definition of the term. It is fully understood by the public and is known to be a law, but it is not necessarily a law that fact has been made clear time and again, yet constabulary officers and "special agents" vested, or assuming to be, with constabulary powers, to enforce against the law, justice, human rights. A few days ago the local columns of the Chronicle carried an article of incarceable and unlawful treatment of one or more Nassau County officers, formally charged with any crime, but whether they had or had not is wholly immaterial in so far relates to the treatment they. The Chronicle does not assume to say who beat and club the Nassau County officers, nor does the evidence that somebody had unlawfully abused them. They certainly did not abuse themselves, and so far nobody has claimed that they were guilty of the crime, which is fixed by law for their offense. The question of their guilt or innocence is wholly beside the issue. If they were guilty, and had been convicted, clubbing and beating them was not infrequently unlawful. It was violation of the sacred and irresponsible guarantee of the Bill of Rights, which extends to the black man as well as to the white man. The Chronicle is not vested with power to call witnesses and compel testimony, but the grand jury should body probe the case to determine whether the evidence justifies the arrest. The Negroes are entirely competent witnesses. If necessary the court should have opportunity to put the case before a jury. When it has been decided that the change to be made to the office is for you to leave from clubhouse it is time for you to leave. You must put forth all their requests and the instructions third time. Every constabulary officer in Harris County should aid the courts in fixing guilt where it belongs. "THIRD DEGREE" POLICE METHODS. "THIRD DEGREE" POLICE METHODS. The recent testimony of several victims of brutality and inhuman treatment at the hands of local police officers and private detectives shows that the "third degree" methods, so long employed and invoked by supposed officers of the law on persons or prisoners in their custody, have not been abolished. Judging from the swollen eyes and discolored and disfigured countenances of these fortunate and apparently innocent citizens of color, who claim that they were beaten and assaulted with deadly weapons at the hands of city officers and private detectives, the "third degree" is very much in vogue in local police circles. These recent disclosures and exposes are nothing new to those conversant with conditions in police circles here. The grand jury, it is stated, is investigating these alleged brutalities, which it will be to be proper thing under the circumstances, it will do very little to put an end to such harsh and brutal practices. As long as certain "red tape" can be employed to shield and shelter the offending and assaulting officer or officers, just so long will these dark-age methods be employed. Some time ago the attention of a certain high official was called to police brutality upon colored citizens and prisoners and here is his reported rejoinder: "Oh, well, the police never beat up anybody but bad niggers or radicals." As if "badness" and "radicalism" were the only things that police clubs and swolvers. In the viewpoint of this big municipal official it is perfectly all right for police officers to assault and maltreat colored persons and prisoners, if they are "bad niggers" or "radicals." In other words, every colored person assaulted or cruelly and shamefully beaten up at the police station is either "bad" or "radical," according to this official reasoning; and, thus working on this assumption, certain police officers always endeavor to maintain the swaiting and batting average of the department, particularly when they are not in uniform. Even granting that city police officers have the power or justifiable grounds for employing "third degree" methods (which they do not possess, either by law or common decency), by what authority have these "special agents" of railroads the right to go into the city prison and murderously and maliciously assault persons or prisoners? In a newspaper has condemned the act of beating these colored men to compel a confession, but this is a custom in the South that has become an institution and it is the exception rather than the rule when police officers do not employ such tactics. Not only, in some instances, are such assaults and brutalities condoned and encouraged, in certain circles, but there is a disposition on the part of some "higher-ups" to always cover up, expose, or such inexcusable and unlawful treatment of persons under arrest. The Informer is delighted to see another daily newspaper taking up this fight against brutality in police and constabulary circles, for this paper has contended all along that police officers have no right nor authority to club, attack and otherwise roughly manhandle persons in their custody. The police will be called "radical" and "dangerous" for daring to speak out in no uncertain tones against this brutal and barbaric practice? A few dismissals, a few indictments and a few convictions will have a very sobering effect upon certain police officers who take great joy and pleasure in employing "third degree" methods upon prisoners; to but accomplish this the grand jury must secure criminal evidence and development heeds, the inter-racial commission and citizens who believe in orderly processes of law enforcement and administration. But as long as police officers know that they can maltreat and almost murder colored prisoners and then get exonerated by some "higher-up" or perjured affidavit by members of the police department, the "third degree" (and even fourth, fifth and so on) will be used, which will ultimately prove a boomerang and reaction. The Informer wishes to again protest against such brutal and mobocratic practices and to reiterate its former assertion that the Houston police department needs a general house cleaning. It appears to this paper that, if a police officer can be discharged peremptorily for "undue political activity" (i.e. for voting a free ballot in a general election), undoubtedly some way ought to be found whereby an officer can at least be demoted or reprimanded for mistreating persons or prisoners in his charge. There are some local police officers who have never employed such tactics upon a prisoner and would not, but entirely too many of them do commit such acts and get by with it. The police department from a signal service to the community, investigation will be followed by indictments and indictments followed by convictions. SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Ethiopia's Place In the World's History beauty and culture. Today she is raised by her white birth mother, who have made and are made kings to suit themselves. Does it follow that Greece never was a white country? She is today an incumbent one, for men against existence against the Turks? Most assuredly our reply would be no. The past history of Spain, Rome and Greece show how failful and full of mischief the country has present condition of a nation, shows its past and future state. It can not and does not prove that the north or sons of Ham, have made no worth while contribution towards the world’s advancement, nor because he is scorned for his country, has made and always will be. When the world can prove that old and weak men have never been young men, when it can prove that shadows will never give place to brightness, then it can prove that the Negro, now a so-called non-entity, was never a sturdy and worth contributing to the world’s civilization. The boom or boomlet for Henry Ford as presidential candidate for 1924 seems to indicate that numerous people in this country are tired of the two major parties and if they can not get the name of their candidate on the ticket of one of the old parties, a new party is likely to spring forth. "Ford-for-president" clubs are being organized in various sections of the republic and the backers and promoters seem determined to get the name of their candidate in the presidential primaries of next spring. In the generally accepted term, Mr. Ford is not a politician, yet he is one of the world's most outstanding and conspicuous business successes, and because of his great executive ability and constructive genius many of his supporters and adherents believe that he will make an able chief executive of his country. They cite with much gusto his record of achievements and issue a deft to the supporters of other aspirants to trot out a single American company to compreceive favorably with Mr. Ford as an able and astute executive. The game is too young to forecast or forecast what effect this Ford boom will have upon the country, whether it will assume the proportions of a healthy boom or as a boomlet die abnorm. But if it does become a real boom and the people are afforded an opportunity to vote their preference instead of f their prejudice, the major parties had better watch out, according to these Ford enthusiasts and boosters. The Informer is not necessarily a Ford devotee or supporter, but this paper believes that both the republican and democratic parties have outvived their days of usefulness and that sooner or later they must pass off the scene or be politically rejuvenated and renovated. Party name ceases to work up much enthusiasm now, even among the "faithful," and, while the bosses of both old parties want a president that they can control, the American electorate want a chief executive who will really function as head of the government and hold the "interests." They are looking around for a man that will fit this bill; they measure up to all requirements; a candidate whose name can be placed before the country without any apology; a successful business man instead of a politician, and a man in whom the people have confidence. Many believe Henry Ford is the man and thus they have thrown his hat into the ring. Just what momentum the movement will gain or the headway it will make remains to be seen; but many are of the opinion that Ford will make a formidable candidate and that he is presidential timber. By REV. W. P. STANLEY, Vicar St. Clement's Episcopal Church ARTICLE I. The sons of Ham, today, occupy the lower rungs of the ladder of civilization and power. The reasons for their upheaval lie in the power of the act deeply embedded in the archives of human endearth, which tell us that civilization, with its attendant power, travels in circles and each segment of the circle must, in order to be successful, be engaged, and the evening sun of diminished activity, shining first on one race and then on another. The Negro is now facing the evening sun of diminished activity; but after the evening sun of the morning. So it will be with the Negro. The white and Nordic peoples say and publish and try to impress upon Negroes that since the Negro now in the land is a slave, he was and always will be. That is, they argue from the present position of the Negro that there was no past glory of achievement and never will be. This argument is almost malicious. Biblical Proof. For races, like men, have a past, and present future. No one argues that the Negro is not a distinct race, and since he is part of a great race, he must have been a great race, a glorious past. The sons of Japheth are rulers today, but the true historian knows that their rulership had a beginning. It is just as false to say that the Negro present condition is a past, and that as it is to say that a rich man deprived of his riches, never had any money and never will become a financial power. How reasoning is shown to be the son of that inquisitive viper, prejudice, when we apply the same argument to all nations, countries and individuals. Spain, now a morbid and inferior nation, ruled the world and all England aided with fear when the great Armada aided to conquer the English navy. Is it not a faint piece of logic to say that Spain never had a past, and that as it is to say that the gro's history is written, such arguments will be ill-served in the face of facts. Rome, the proud dweller of the seven hills, anciently at purple and white, has been obeyed. Today Rome, now called a small city, is shorn of her strength and beauty, and her capital is not a first class world power. Does it automatically follow if her begins never made the world a place for her? Rome, the power of Rome, the world would langle us to scorn. So it ought to be willed that Rome, the power of the world, make the world advance, simply be cause he does not rule now.

The big bats of the visitors played leave with Lacy's Sabath day of Saturday, has a nice assortment of curves, stands up well under fire and the team has a good skill in good slabm. He pitched a better game than the score indicates, several innings out, fairly fielding on the part of Houston outter works. Lacy won the games Monday and Tuesday, the grounds being too wet for games on Saturday, while white league clubs, the Monarchs are heading northward divided into two clubs, and all the regular infield, three hurriers and two players completed the team that played well, composed of the regular outfield, improved infield, regular catcher and Pat's Bats showed that they had not had much practice; they play Mt.
