GETTING 'EM TOLD

BENEFIT BALL GAME.
A benefit baseball game for Union Hospital is being talked and discussed among the professional and business professionals in the Club, and it has been unofficially announced that a team of "has been stared," "has been starred," "would be star," "will be inverted to be starred" or the professional men to engage in deadly combat with the local carriers in the near future. We have this game will be staged, we have not been informed, but we venture the assertion that when it is staged that the Houston public will see a thriller maybe anyway.
EXAMPLE OF CO-OPERATION.
On Sunday, May 27, the local branch of the National Association for the Assessment of Colored People and Houston Colored Commercial Club will stage a joint rally at one of the local churches.
This deserves more than passing notice, for its heppeps a species of cooperation and teamwork unlike anything of its kind or on show among colored people.
Both organizations have well-defined niches, and each is遍布 of selling itself to the public, yet both are willing to help others in programs in order that the cause of the race might be more in this city along co-operative lines.
This is teaching by example which surpasses process; especially where it is the most difficult and grugest problem and it is hoped that the undertaking will have
THE HOUSTON INFORMER
Northern Migration Seriously Affecting South's Labor Mart
Every state of the South is now making serious study of the gigantic exodus. The rantings of the demagogues, who they in bygone years have been calling for, are rrowned upon and openly hatred, are rrowned upon and openly protected by the leading citizens. Editors of newspapers are directing appeals, not through their reporters, but by signed articles. As in the case, for example, of Frederick Sloane, owner of a two-column article, under in a two-column earnest article, under his signature and with the two-column caption: "Here In Solution of Negro Exodus." Mr. Sloane urges a million dollar endowment for the Uti Northern Minus. Mrs. W. H. Holzwarck, principal, as a means of proving that the South desired people to remain. Mr. Sloene concludes: "I have studied the question for more than twenty years and I am thoroughly convinced that, in way out, and that is through education and the Christian religion." Every state of the Mississippi has just been held throughout the state, in every county court house on a set date, an inter-religious meeting, and a condition of better conditions.
Shortage of Workers
We hope that, when the place of the jlnt program is made public, our pooc organization will not only learn more of what each organization is striving to do for racial justice, but also to learn about civic, political and other lines, but to place their stamp of approval upon such an unscholarly program. We also want to view it and vory, but in discussion there is only weakness and diaparacitual defeat. Fellow-citizens, take this cue and go.

Colored Americans, Victims of Raw Deal, Deserting Southland
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Ill.—That migration is bringing Northern cities a race problem of serious proportions which can only be solved satisfactorily by the united effort of the best thinking people of both groups, was the sentiment of the conference on race relations held here May 6th and 7th under the auspices of the Chicago Church Federation, at which Dr. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Dr. George E. Haynes of New York and Miss Mary McDowell, commissioner of public welfare of the city of Chicago, were the principal speakers.
The several meetings held during due to defective workmanship of white the two days' session studied the prob- and Negro employees," 25 said there was one of the one of the same. The same most interesting being the report on or about the same," one said the Negro in Industry.
The Migrants Are Coming.
"Negroes are on their way North. Make up your mind on that fact," said Dr Haynes, "and they will continue to work in the plant industry, and pay employment and greater opportunity for development hold out. The present expansion of business and consequent demand for labor suggest we are in a position to take a real witness a real food of colored people to industrial centers such as has never been seen before and it is well for communities to prepare themselves as a real witness to the rapidly edged and reduce possible friction.
"Between 1910 and 1920 there were estimating roughly, about 340,000 colony workers, and 300,000 of the men in earlier days and 90 per cent of women workers were restricted to domestic employment. During the past ten years, however, the number of women working five or six of the basic industries of the North; such as meat packing, from steel and plants, clothing trades and the building trades, while a growing number are fitting into mechanical
Can Negro Labor Make Good.
"The continuation of the mitigation depends solely upon whether the Northern industrial employer finds New York's coverings covering a number of cities and plants show that in some it has been a success and in some it has not done so well." Dr. Hayman pointed out a number of reasons for the foreseen foremec, of the habit of making time, other than p. c. t., a tendency to lay in the ground beneath and midreceded leisure time, all which he interests is taken by colored and white citizens, welfare workers and churches it is their responsibility, he said. Make it easier to find citizens and preventing trouble it much cheaper than correcting it after
Opinions of Employers.
When asked, the Negro workmen show ambition for advancement<sup>1</sup>. One of them adding "to a master degree," four said "Yet" and two said "Same question." One qualified "No," twelve gave such answers as "Not as a rule," in "some cases" and "Not generally," and one qualified of ambition in the sense asked here is, of course, bound up with the employment offered by the employer. This may be inferred in the case of these employees who said they admitted Negroes to skilled occupations without restriction and others whom their limited admissions to such occupations. From one there was no record on this point. The employees who were employing 198.31 workers while employees and 4.673 Negro workers in 1931-39 made by Negro workers upon Northern industrial employers during the world war period. "What difference, if any, there was in the loss of materials
is bringing Northern cities a race which can only be solved as the best thinking people of both conference on race relations held aupies of the Chicago Church Alexander of Atlanta, Dr. George ss Mary McDowell, commissioner Chicago, were the principal speak- due to defective workmanship of white and Negro employees." 25 said there was no difference; four said "the same about the same," one said "Greater or less," and from eighteen there was no report. When asked what difference if any between the time required to break in the plants and from eighteen of their plants (the comparison was based in each case upon the usual time the employer set for such breaking in), six replied equally for both, seven replied for both, "About the same," seven said "No difference," four said "Longer for color or less for white," one said "Depends upon person" and for thirteen
Conspiracy of Blisses.
"Secret methods of dealing with the race problem in America, such as emancipation only to spread and stir up elemental passions in communities where this race is dominant," Alexander, a distinguished white scholar, wrote. "Racial difficulties grow largely out of mental attitudes," he continued, "and the passions of colored men together by frank and friendly discussion can the chameb be enriched." "In the South there has been a conspiracy of silence on the question. The more we know about the more than whisperings behind the cities need to be warned that organizations and secret methods applied to the problem will only fan the race. The more we know about the one that needs daylight." Mary McDowell, an interest in the race, always been keen and helpful, depicted the housing situation in Chicago, with its lack of housing, and depicted the relation to better living and neighborhood. The 10,000 colored people who lived in Chicago ten years ago had been forced to live in a city where it swelled to 110,000 it burst these invisible boundaries, resulting in the need for renters and the bearing of a good home upon the way the migrant success story of a new community must be given consideration, she insisted. A conference a committee on findings was appointed to confer on a "summary and recommendations." These will be formulated and published in the near future.
HARRISBURG ODD
The sermon preached by Rev. William M. Greene to the Odd Fellows and Households of Ruth at Harburg, last Sunday afternoon, is the chief took of conversation among the residents of the "Burg" and Houstonians who heard this divine on mid occasion.

The wife of the distinguished Baptist Church and the collection amounted. Among the distinguished visitors were Dr. David Ahner, Jr., most noble governor of the area, his wife and Attorney L. V. Allen, who may that Rev. Greene was never in fessure till on this occasion.

Women.
1. Elijah Meets Abah, (vv. 17, 18).
At the Lord's command Elijah
showed himself to Abah. When Elijah
was told that rails would only be given
by his word (17:1). In connection
with the prophet's appearance before
the king, Elijah's Question, "Art then
be that trouble Israel?" (v. 17, Abah's
aim was to intimidate Elijah, to awa-
lain into obedience).
2. Elijah's Answer, (v. 18).
He denied the charge and bodily de-
fense that rails would only be given
befallen the nation was caused by
the idolatry of Abah and his family.

The king convened the people
at the urgent Request of Elijah.
3. Elijah's Hiking Challenge to question
(vv. 21, 23).
Who is your God, Bai or the Lord?
21. Many of the people had not
witnessed two ophions. They are hail-
ing between holiness and manhood and God.
22. The silence of the people. (vv. 21).
This has been the king or of ignorance, for many
of the opinion that to be religious
was the only thing necessary.
The people needed to worship God that they knew.
There is all the difference between
merely worshiping and really
worshiping God that they knew.
The method of decision (vv. 22-24).
Two sacraments were to be provided—one to be
given to the king who answered fire to be
the God. The people connected that
this was a fair test. Accepted sacram-
ents were to be given by which God is calling upon men

right.

2. The Offering by Elijah (vv. 30-31). (1) The people invited to wear robes, and (2) they gave the entire proceedings in order to fully grasp the greatness of the test. (2) The altar repairs (vv. 30-31). (3) The altar is set up to seize the nation (n. 3). (4) The offering on the altar (vv. 33-35). (5) After the bullock was in place he had to be baptized and then emptied upon the sacrifice and the wood so as to fill the trench about the altar. So sure was Elijah that he had suffered a hardship with difficulty. (4) Elijah's prayer (vv. 38, 37). (a) It is the foundation upon which all real prayer rests in covenant relationship. (b) Its object was God's exaltation from the earth. His supreme deity was to honor and magnify the Lord. (c) It was for the salvation of the people. (d) His supreme deity was Israel. He must deform that they should come to God. (B) The result (vv. 38, 39). (a) The fire of the people incarnated the sacrifice but the wood, stones and dust, even licking up the water in the trench. (b) The people fall on the ground and confessed that the Lord was the God.
IV. The Execution of Baal's Prophets. (v. 40).
For this drastic action was that Israel's government was a theocracy. God was their king. Odariyat was their monarch. King. These false prophets were traitors to God and therefore should die. V. God's Prophet Vindicated. (v. 40).
The proof that Elijah was God's prophet was incomplete till rain came. Israel under his ministry had now come down. God had back him known unto God His graciousness.

FLORIDA AND DIXIE PUNISHMENT.
FLORIDA AND DIXIE PUNISHMENT.
There is an old adage which runs something like this: "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," and in our forbearces used to say, "The tray will turn some day."
Judging from what has transpired in Florida in the last few weeks, it seems that we are witnessing the fulfillment of both this maxim and prophecy.
For years the penal institutions not only of Florida, but the entire South, have employed force and violence in dealing with prisoners and even citizens not under arrest, particularly where and when said persons were identified with the colored race.
But Florida tried to cover too much territory when its hideous and horrible peonage system claimed as a victim a white youth of North Dakota, who came into the tolls of the law while beating his way on a railroad train in that state.
When the civilization of this Southern commonwealth was called to the attention of the civilized world by her Northern sister, the law-makers of Florida immediately got busy and sought to abolish force in dealing with prisoners.
During a legislative hearing on the abolition of force in dealing with prisoners in that state, one representative took the position that it "takes a whip to handle mugs and niggers" and this maudlin and hellish utterance almost caused defeat of the measure seeking to reduce barbarism and heathenism in that state and make possible some semblance of a modern and humane civilization in handling prisoners.
Force, ordinarily speaking and as generally employed upon prisoners in the South, was originally intended for colored prisoners but violence, like the swollen stream on a rampage, can not be confined to any particular channel nor can the color of the victim always be the deciding factor.
When a storm strikes a community, it generally exacts its toll without respect to creed, class or color. The same condition obtains when an epidemic plays havoc and throws consternation in the populace of any locality.
The same thing is true with crime, whether committed by individual criminals, organized bands of terrorists and anarchists or supposed minions of the law, constabulary officers or convict camp guards.
In most Southern states no man can serve on the constabulary, police or prison force who has not killed a "few niggers" or unless he has earned the reputation of being a "bad man," "gunman," "flogger," or "hard-boiled bully."
Is it any wonder that this Northern white youth was given a taste of the Dixie medicine so long administered to colored prisoners with impunity and immunity?
Routine life becomes monotonous, and, after beating, kicking and murdering colored people for the last sixty years, these prod-

ucts of Southern cowardice naturally looked around for new fields and fresh vittims, and thus the hue of the skin made no difference: just so they were afforded a little "fam and frolic," as this particular and peculiar "pastime" must maintain its average in "Bam."
PETER H. BURKE
Now the Florida legislature has voted to abolish corporal punishment in the penal institutions for a period of two years; to give humane treatment of prisoners a trial.
It was rather unfortunate that this white youth should have suffered such a fate, but it appears that his cruel and horrible death, brought about by merciless flogging by a convict camp guard, was the ill wind that apparently has blown somebody good.
That peonage does exist in the South and that in a most revolting and hideous form, is well known in both local and federal circles; yet since the vast majority of the innocent and helpless victims have been colored people, there has been no determined effort to place the part of either state or federal officials to remove this stain and disgrace the inmates at theutechon.
Chickens do come home to roost and as such have lavishesess and slavery are winked at and condoned in the South, this section of the country will continue to be the shame and disgrace of democracy.
W. E. C. BATTHEW, superintendent of the Houston district of the American Musical Benefit Association, 714k Prairie Avenue, announces the 14th annual citizens as concerting the force of the Houston district:
CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY
CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY
We once knew a colored editor who charged for practically every item that appeared in his paper, especially of a local nature, and he was very good at it.
Mourne, Anthony Harlie, Charles Paynes, James L. Thomas, Antichip Paynes, W. H. Hollins, Bethel Baptist Church; J. D. Jackson, M. Ternon M. E. Church; George Richk, Tristy M. E. Church; L. H. Koehler, Rev. D. L. Smith, S. H. Smith, J. H. White, Buston Chapel M. E. Church; Ebwin Spencer, Damascus Baptist Church; Cobblen H. St., L. Johnson, Wesley Chapel M. E. Johnson, Wesley Chapel A. M. E. Church; W. T. Clark, St. James M. E. Church; M. Zion Baptist Church; St. James Syker church; Rev. David Williams, W. H. Hollins, and George R. Sanders, Harrington
He gave as his reason the fact that the average colored man or woman never cares anything about a colored newspaper until he or she desires a little cheap publicity and since the white newspapers, which these colored people often read to the exclusion of their own not only refuse to print such social news but often oppose issues and movements that mean much to and for colored citizens, the colored people are compelled to resort to colored publications or go wanting in getting their names into public print. While we have not pursued this policy nor condemned it, the fact of the matter is that our people are only consistent by their inconsistency. And we have no fight, to make upon white daily newspapers, for if a person must to keep in touch with doings of the day, he or she must read daily newspapers.
Superintendent Matthies asks for the prayed co-operation of members of the race in the Houston district, call at office 714-2712. Praise Avage.
But before the country was dotted with daily publications among the other races, they had their monthly and weekly periodicals and later they secured such support from the reading and advertising public that they were able to conduct daily papers.
JONES' TAILOR SHOP
But the colored newspaper is the only publication that gives the bright side of the race; that chronicles our worthy deeds and does not feature, headline and exploit our misdeeds; that carries any social news of our group; that gives a rap about the struggles, sufferings, hopes, aims and aspirations of our racial contingent; that speaks out in thunderous tones against the many injustices and wrongdoings of our society; that forms decent and respectable employment to members of our race and provides a place for our boys and girls.
in order to maintain his standard of service, to meet competition and make a place for more members of the M.P. K. Jensen, head of Jones Street, to attend. The announcement announces the establishment of shop No. 2 at Columbia and Thirty-first Street. Independence Heights. The telephone number of this new shop is T258, and it will serve the community of that area of the community.
The colored newspaper may be "ragged, but it's round here," wasn't sent for, but it's down here," and the colored person that gloats in the fact that he or she does not take any newspaper. The colored newspaper is not a readable read, and for which he or she pays out good coin of the realm.
In speaking of his business, Mr. Jones said: "We stipulate a very high standard of tailoring, cleaning and pressing, which is equaled by few and efficient, efficient and efficient, efficient and patrons the proper service. We have the cooperation of our assistants in using effort to give customers the best service rendered. We have on service, because we have the necessary equipment to do all work satisfactorily. We want the people of this city to know that we are knocking at their doors; we want service; what is service we must have; and service in what they must have."
The colored newspaper is simply the voice of the colored race crying in the wilderness of oppression and repression; it is the watchman on the tower, sounding the alarm at approaching danger and marshaling our forces into the proper direction for their ultimate trump over might and wrong.
Fought from within and without, the colored newspaper stands on the front-line trenches and contends against overwhelming odds for the rights of its people; doing this often while the sinews of battle are being treacherously, malicious, insidiously and sometimes ignorantly and, unwittingly, delivered onto the opposing forces.
Saul slew his thousands, but David his tens of thousands; and thus, without endeavoring to discount the other, leaders of our group in their efforts for race betterment and solidarity, they only reach their thousands, while the newspapers reach their tens of thousands.
This independence Hiksai show,
that Mr. Jin is not the only one
service and Mr. Jin should get the
inch question, but he be奏它 it by
work turned out by his two
heights.
Our people conduct business too much on musky sentimentality. If they like you, they will take your paper and patronize your place of business, whether you can deliver the goods or not; but if they dislike you, it matters not how excellent your paper is nor how meritorious your article or product, your name is "Dennis" with and they will absolutely have nothing to do with you nor yours.
LOCAL EDUCATOR'S WORK
On Sunday afternoon, June 3, there will be a kill rally held by Houston College at the City Alliedness, at the university's excellent program will be executed.
Yet these same persons will subscribe for papers of the other races and even trade with institutions owned and operated by other races, even jim-crowning and segregating themselves to get 'stealth class service, and delight in parading that fact.
The purpose of this occasion is to
have the opportunity that has been
contributed to this local school by
the General Board of Education
of New York City, provided the
They will boast that they take certain daily papers, and yet these same papers refuse to carry one item that reflects creditably upon the race; but they will go out of their way to chronicle some events, and send their readers to mob-violence upon some alcaled "black, burglar brute."
President I. M. Tervail, former principal of the Port Worth High School and Prairie View State Normal School, has accomplished much more since Houston College and really receives the unstated and whole-hearted support of the clerics of Houston, regardless of racial con
If a bond issue is submitted and it appears that colored people will reap some benefits out of the proposition, some of these same papers will inject the "Negro question" into the campaign and seek to prejudice white voters against it because their colored subscribers, supporters and adherents have been promised some crying improvements or necessary relief out of the same.
He has placed this school on the educational map, putting it in touch with the local community, the country and securing a kind of suburban schooling, never enforced by the school board.
Talk about ingratiance and inconsistency, how does this strike you?
You? colored newspaper does not refer to colored people as "Rastus," "Austin," "Uncle," "coon," "darkey," "nigger," nor does it employ a small "n" in the word "Negro."
Houston College is one of the few colleges and schools accepted by the department of education. It offers summer schools and internships, and is one of the reasons for President Turley's renewal.
Colored women are given their rightful titles and designations in colored newspapers and wives of our prominent and leading men are not referred to as "Aamie So-and-so, wife of John So-and-so." At some stage in our racial career we should begin to think and act in keeping with sensible thought; for our consistent inconsistency or our inconsistent consistency portrays us to the thinking public as lacking in the finer sensibilities and nobler attributes that go to make a real race. Selah!
It is hoped that Hontenwillman will be able to attend the 12th of June and help the president and the university of Hontenwillman College obtain these honors. He will need all the Hospital and university staff.

YOU CAN LEARN A LOT
FROM ADVERTISING
The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell you plainly how and why his goods are worthy of your attention, because many things you are advertised are the things you buy and use in your regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are hot and most inductive.
But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you.
A good many people learn learn a whole lot about good music, good books, good good clothes, want to keep up with the latest trends, want to surround and ground looking well—they've learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements.
Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a lot that will be helpful and valuable to you as you go through life.

‘THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923.
Work on improvements has already started in Forest Home. The
sanitary sewer is now being laid, and just as soon as the weather
Permits, work on streets will start.
This is the best opportunity that has ever been offered the colored
people of Heuston te get a lot in an addition that has practically all
modern improvements.
With every lot purchased now, we give a written agreement that
the improvements will be completed within a specified time.
‘When you consider the natural beauty of this property and the im-
provements that are going in, you will find that the prices in FOREST
HOME are low. You can buy a lot on very easy terms.
Te find FOREST HOME, go out on the Dewling car and walk out
Holman to the Columbia Tap, just a few blocks from the end of the
Dowling car line. This property is located on beth sides of Holman
Avenne, and runs up to the Columbia Tap. Part of it is on the west
side of the Columbia Tap.
‘The best thing to'do is te make an appointment to see the prop-
‘erty. You can do that by either phoning J. H. Robertson, our col-
‘ered representative, at Hadley 6924, whose home address is 3201
Pierce Avenue, or phone our office. . We also have other colored
representatives, who will be glad to show you the property.
Now if you want alot in what is going to be the finest colored ad-
dition in Houston, do not delay—get in touch with us, or with one of
our representatives.

A large delegation of Pythians and Calanthians of the towns through which we will pass will be at the stations to extend greetings.

Those coming into Houston on other railroads will have a FREE BUS COUPON on their tickets that will entitle them to a free transfer to the M. K. T. depot without any cost.

Be Sure and Do Not Forget to Secure Certificates When Buying Your Railroad Tickets.

ARTICLE III.
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 was and is eternally to be inferior.
We further showed that the curse of the Israelites, as described by Abumurah, *Grishahe*, destroyed by Rome, and Palestine taken by Jerusalem, and his sons were historic characters.
The Historic Characters.
That Noah, Japheth, Sham, Hamm, Nimmed, Abraham, represent actual persons, the general tone of the narration, the general teaching of Scripture characterizes them.
Japhtha was fair or white, to use a modern term. His sons were as follows:
His Sons.
Gomer, progenitor of ancient Cemetery in York, from whom are descended the Gritic family, now known as Irish, Maxx, Welsh, Cornish and Low Breton.
Magog.
Magog was the progenitor of the ancient Scythians, or Tartars, whose descendants now predominate in modern Russia. Surely, any one studying Russian, does an immense population, governed by ignorance, superstitious.

The last son of Japheth was Tiran, the father of the Thracians. In other words, Japheth representing Aryan stock in Asia took in Medea, Medusa and the islands of the Mediterranean.
Sone of Shem.

The Lydians of Asiin Minor, his descendants and Arom, father of the Syrians, both east and west of the Syrians, presents the greatest difficulty, because he was the most prolific. From the Syrians, he also presents the most tribes and also probably some East African colonies.
Ham.
We now come to the most important son of Asiin Minor, the Nephrians concerned. For we are his descendent and also his most accomplished in any age and any cline, we in his line of descent can also claim, as our own.
Meaning of Name.
As Shem means "ducky" or the like, as Shem means "black" or the like, "black" is supported both by the evidence from Hebrew and Arabic, in which the word Haman, means "to
Sons of Ham.
Cush was the first son of Ham and the father of many nations. From him came Sabech, the king of Hazmob, Sabechc and Nimrod.
Nimrod.
Nimrod is the only son of Cush and grandson of Ham, who can definite. himself the king of the client, for he was a mighty hunter, the friend of the king of that mighty city, Babylon.
Our hearts ought to swell with pride when we think of Ham and its indestructible people and modern civilization, for we as descent of that mighty city.
