RACE PERSONNEL AT TUSKEGEE? Negro Postal Clerk Promoted BASE BALL! VOL. V. RACE Negr GETTING 'EM TOLD By C. F. RICHARDSON. "GOOD-LOOKING NEGROES." Hon. William Joseph Simmons, imperial "emperor" of the kluzers, according to press reports, paid the colored race a high compliment in his recent Deamont speech, when he uttered, the following statement: "Why, you even have the best-looking Negroes I have ever seen here." Not only have Beaumont and other Texas cities suchoodloving Negroes the right to vote, but they tentate to make public acknowledgment of this fact, but if he had vided his vote, the Lincoln or ideal theater or had stood for blood, he would have played in Plainview. He would have concluded that there was a place in Plainview. Peter had been carolled with the gats "Tech thun," Boer "Imperor," Texas state governor, for if it had not been for Toussaint, our great and noble order would not have imputed such a large and gulls battle. They are educating their children and have no regrets for the pain and no regrets for the future, provided colored men can be the failure of all the children that they are somewhat tired, Brother Texan for colored children whose father had no colored antecedents, and while you were for colored children whose father had with might and main to make the white race "supremus," colored Texans were a little effort to help them keep their race "pure," and unspoiled from forbidden things. But when you said colored Texans were the best-looking Negroes you had, they were the best-colored "you," you certainly said that right." And there are many more within the church than can be explained exaltations that think as you do and many of these can speak with author- ship. This complaint, coming from such a church, is not a tribute or an indictive a tribute and exacuity, yet the half has not been told nor has the half been told. The next time you visit Texas, you must not wait upon you pay "harvest" on the land. You will chine in with the queen of the crown, "acclaim." The half has not been told. A FINE SUGGESTION. Mr. J. B. Griggs, member of the executive committee of the Houston Colored Commercial Club, makes the suggestion that the members of the local organization should choose a Pollinator and attend the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which meets in Hot Springs, Ark., about the third week in August.

"HOUSTON'S GOT 'EM" TUSKEGEE VETERANS' HOSPITAL STILL CENTER OF BITTER FIGHT; WILL GOVERNMENT "STAND PAT?" Washington, D. G.—Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, the Colored Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee is to be manned from top to bottom with a corps of Negro officials, doctors, and nurses. The senators from Alabama have made a determined fight against this action being taken by the government authorities in charge of the work of providing the personnel of the hospital staff, but it is understood that President Harding has taken a decided stand in the matter on the side of the Negroes who have earnestly demanded that the hospital was theirs by every right and should be operated by members of their race. The senators have already and Negro applicants are in the course of compulsions for places on the medical staff. The president has made many friends by his action in this matter. Principal Moton is coming in for a big share of the praise for the intelligent and patient manner in which he has conducted himself during the heated controversy between the Negro and anti-Negro forces here and in Alabama where the whole state government's machinery was used to deprive the Negroes of their claim right to name of personnel of the hospital staff. TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL MUDDLE The informer, despite protests of white Alahamians, and hoped that the tension and excitement, incident with the government's avowed intention of placing a colored personnel in charge of the Tukuegee hospital for colored men, would enable them to take itself, and everything remain normally at Tukuegee. But when several hundred klauser staged a demonstration of protest there Tuesday night, this paper assumes another attitude. If such protests, demonstrations and intimidations are to be invoked by these Southern whites for a few minutes, they will not serve their own race in an institution built and dedicated for such a purpose, then the federal government should move this hospital to some Northern state—away from graffers and money-grabber. Besely, the informer is being daily led to believe that the United States Veteran's Hospital in the very heart of "Bum"—where more hell is raised every fifteen minutes than in the satanic empire in fifteen years. But when揭 figures invade the premises or pass a protest parade before the institution, it is time for the informer to warn the men, either go through with its announced policy of manning the hospital in its entirety with a race personel, or transfer the institution to a more civilized clan. Why are these Southern whites so insistent in their demands the colored professionals extend from the institution? Do these whites believe that they can render a better medical and scientific service to these black warriors than their own chony-hued brothers can perform? Is it the institute just for filthy luce, which these fat and injure federal posts will make possible? Or is it the customary Southern desire to boss and lord it over colored people? Since the "hooded patroltie" generally follow a parade with a demonstration of violence, the government will be able to deter such incidents. The hospital from Tuekenge; for past and present actions indicate that it is going to be a hot-bed of racial hatred, malignity and animosity and likely to precipitate inter-racial violence. The federal government must either clean out Tuekenge or clear out to some other community, preferably a Northern city. MEMPHIS ORATOR WILL SPEAK HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT Hon. M. S. Stuart, President of the Memphis (Tenn.)

This is 15 less than the number 30 for the first six months of 1922, and 21 less than the number 36 for the first six months of 1921. Of those lynched, two were whites and 13 were Negroes. One of the latter was a woman. One of those put to death was charged with the crime of rape. The other offenses charged were: Murder, 2; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of the law, 2; no charge reported, 2; assisting man charged with rape to escape, 1; trying to pawn for white, 1; resisting posse searching for man charged with rape, 1; participating in depredations connected with railroad strike, 1; cattle stealing, 1; trying to act like white man and not knowing his place, 1.

COLORED RAILWAY MAIL CLERK MADE ASSISTANT CHIEF CLERK BY DEPARTMENTAL CHIEFTAIN Chicago, Ill.—When Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson dramatized in the speech he was delivering to railway mail clerks, members of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, in the Appomattox Club last Sunday morning and without a single person in the room knowing what he planned doing, handed to John D. Gainey, a colored man, his appointment as assistant chief clerk, bedlam broke loose as cheer and congratulations poured forth on the two. For the first time in the history of the railway mail service a colored man has been appointed to a supervisory position and clerks all over the country can take an added pride in their work because of the outlet for promotion opened. Mr. Gainey was ordered by General for the station to return. He paid a Henderson to proceed to Washington, D.C. where he will be stationed and likewise was commissioned to visit the next annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees which convenes in Fort Worth, July 11, as his official service and as his representative for the group. The assembly room of the Appomattox Club was crowded with railway mail clerks and members of other branches of the service. General Henderson, who is the son-in-law of Conquerant, who is the front-men of Conquerant, no colored man have been appointed from Washington to address the gathering—coming to several years due to discrimination on account of meeting from the train and leaving it.

Both colored and white Houstonians have slept on the job when it comes to presenting and boosting the claims of Houston as the premier convention city of Texas. No other Texas city offers these annual gatherings as much as "heavenly Houston," for we have the largest and most commodious city auditorium in Texas; and, while the whites have fine hotels for their visiting delegates, the colored citizens have splendid and well-appointed homes, and perhaps more of them than in any other Texas city. Yet both races fail to go out and try to land these annual meetings for our great and growing municipality, and as a result cities smaller than Houston are gaining statewide and national fame as convention cities. During the last ten or eleven years there have been about three grand lodges held in Houston, viz: Taborian, Pythian and Odd Fellows. Yet with the exception of the Masonic grand lodge, which meets annually at Fort Worth, all other Texas grand lodges are movable, that is, they meet in different cities each succeeding year. Already three grand lodges have met this year in other Texas cities, and, despite the fact that Houston has more members in all the various lodges than any other city in the Lone Star State (having the largest colored population), no concerted effort is ever made by the local lodges to bring these yearly gatherings to our great city. The Informer would suggest that the Colored Commercial Club's convention committee get busy and see that Houston's claims are put forward at the forthcoming grand lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which convenes in San Antonio, August 6, 1923, and the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, which holds forth in Fort Worth, July 23, 1923. The Odd Fellows, according to information received from Grand Master H. G. Gore, will more than likely have their temple erected and ready for occupancy by August, 1924 (as it is expected to award the contract immediately upon adjournment of the forthcoming grand lodge), and it will be very fitting and appropriate to hold the 1924 session in the Magnolia City. The Informer suggests that the local lodges of Odd Fellows and Ruths begin right now to lay plans for mabbing the 1924 grand lodge for Houston; for this order is one of the Texas fraternities that enjoys such a large attendance at its annual meetings that very few cities in Texas can really accommodate it. The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten holdings in the heart of the city, have not held an annual session in Houston since the purchase of this property, years ago; and when the Houston delegation began to button-hole delegates at the 1922 grand lodge in Marshall, it was suggested that Houston accord her support to Fort Worth and that the 1924 grand lodge would be Houston's. But these grand lodges do not come to any city where the local lodges do not bestir themselves and make a spirited fight for the annual sessions; for other cities, which seem to know what such big gatherings mean to them and their interests, are always on the scene advancing their claims for the next session. Houston has had fewer grand lodges and conventions than any city in Texas, and this is really a reflection upon the civic pride of its colored and white citizenry—which is as good as any citizenry in any other Texas city, and a lot better than that in not a new Lone Star burge. But these other towns and cities sell themselves to these grand lodges and conventions, while the Houston delegations are generally divided and fighting among themselves for empty homes and spoils, and never think about boosting and advertising their city at such gatherings. When the Houston Advertising Club, at the recent international convention, presented and pushed the claims of our city far the 1924 world's convention against London, England, metwithstanding the fact that London won and Houston gave over to the Beatons' claims, it did more to advertise Houston nationally and internationally than anything in the city's history. Nothing beats advertising, unless it is more advertising; and we need to get on the job in this respect and put in our aid for every grand lodge and convention in Texas. We have the conveniences, the climate, the homes, the flood, the auditorium and all the trimming for holding a successful and pleasant grand session or convention; but unless the merchant advertises his wares, it matters not what merit they may possess, and the merchant can do it in ways whoops it up, often with a less meritorious stock, will garner in the sheckles and do a box-office business. Let's get busy, Brother Odd Fellows and United Brothers of Friendship, and bring the 1924 grand lodge of both of these great, famous men. "We are the United Brothers of America"—a city justly fanned for its beautiful homes, beautiful women, handsome men big-hearted citizens, rich of racial amity, "n everything." "Houston for 1924!" should and must be the slogan of the Houston Odd Fellows and United Brothers of Friendship at the fourth floor of the building. "Let's tell the world that "Houston's got 'em!" THE BIG AND LITTLE BULL FROGS. We once heard an anecdote about a big bull frog and a little bull frog that runs something like this: The big bull frog was floating or swimming up the stream, when he met a little bull frog and in their peculiar language asked the smaller brother to join him in the aquatic journey. The little bull frog "reneged" at first, but when his larger brother inquired about it, he cast a moustache at the small brother, up the stream he shot. After they had gone a few feet they saw a fisherman with a bait on the end of a dangerous hook, whereupon the big bull frog said to the little bull frog: "Bite at it!" The little bull frog rejoined: "You bite at it!" Again the big bull frog invoked his bluffing preemptives and with a basso profundo voice ejaculated: "Bite at it, I say!" Fearing bodily injury from the hands of his larger brother, the little bull frog aggrieved the hand and hook, opened his mouth and a healthy effort to do at he was commended. In trying to bite the bait, the hook landed in his mouth and he became a victim of the fisherman. Seeing the little bull frog's predicament and sad lot, Brother Big Bull Frog gave him this admonition: "Turn it loose!" The little bull frog, with difficulty, replied: "I can't turn it loose!" Once more the big bull frog tried his bluff and this time jumped in the direction of the little bull frog with a second "Turn it loose!" Again the little bull frog, completely at the mercy of the heart, weakly and sorrowfully replied: "I can't turn it loose!" The big bull frog, knowing that smaller brothers had been torn apart by the shark and fired this parting remark as he continued his journey up the stream, "Well, good-bye! Good-bye!" There are lots of people in the world who are exact counterparts of these two bull frogs: They will urge and encourage their friends to get their head in a crack and then when some has been done, they will dart away and leave their unfortunate friends at the mercy and peril of the enemy. Too many of us are like the little bull frog—we are always ready to help, and we quickly glibwallow that of some "friendly" adviser, and then when we "can't turn it loose," they give us the horse-laugh and the "good-bye." His friends raised the issue of denomination and made him the scape-goat and then when the smoke of battle had closed assays and the votes had been tabulated, he not only had failed to hurl the gun at the enemy but never lost the position that he had held in the order for many years. We admit that the bait may not tempt and appetize at times, but when the big bull frog advises and admonishes us to "bite at it," let us not only tell him to "bite at it," but let us refrain from getting the hook all tied up in our mouths and become the hungling stock of the big bull frog and his fratern. In other words, do not be the victim of designing politicians and the scape-goat, but be the victim of feather their own little nest; for in the end you will be the lion and will be left to your sad and bitter fate all by your "humanness." DALLAS TEAM CHALLENGED The Houston Colored Commercial team, which will play the local mail carriers at West End Park, Tuesday, July 10, has invited a challenge, per Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Eagles, to the game. The team will play in the North Texas burg during the present season. We want to see Dra. Hamilton, Ward, Dynon, White, Williamson; Profie, Rice, Rhoads, Fox, Lockhart; Will Ewing, Chan, Brunckland, Adams, Coffeed, McMillan, Crawford, Lee, Jones and other celebrities cavorting on the diamond and trying to come back. If “it’s in Dallas,” as these residents of the North Texas burg so strongly and viscerally bonerize, then the Houston Colored Game will team still stands by The Informer’s slag, “Honeston’s got ‘em’. Can the Dallas Negro Business League get up a handball team to try their skill and diamond dexterity against the 3 C’s of Honeston, have the majority of their members fallen victims to Father Time? SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER What The South Spends For Colored Education Statistics showing the part played by denial of educational opportunities to Southern Negroes in bringing about the northward migration, were published recently by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The statistics, taken from state educational reports, show that in some cases $8 to $10 is spent upon every white pupil in the Southern States for $1 spent upon the colored pupil; and that colored teachers are so underpaid as to make it impossible in some cases for them to live upon their salaries. The pupils in a number of states, taken from recent state reports, are as follows: In all of the Southern States, according to the report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, small and inexpensive libraries among those supplied to Negro children. Furthermore, little or no provision is made for transporting children to and from school. Also, school terms are almost universally shorter for colored children than for white.

Here are the reasons we say this: 1st—The natural beauty of the property—there is no prettier piece of property anywhere in Houston than FOREST HOME. 2nd—It will have modern improvements like sanitary sewer, city water and shell streets. The sanitary sewer has already been laid over the greater portion of the property. Water lines have also been installed and, remember this—the water connection and sanitary connection is free. 3rd—You will not have to wait for improvements, because, as stated in the preceding paragraph, the sanitary sewer and the water lines are already practically completed, and work is now under way on the streets. At the time of this writing teams are digging a large drainage ditch to Brays Bayou, which will mean that Forest Home will be a well drained property. 4th—At the prices that we are offering Forest Home lots and with the manner in which it is being developed, there is no question but that there will be considerable increase in value on these lots as time passes. 5th—We are offering Forest Home Lots at prices and on terms that make them within reach of every ambitious man or woman who wants a location for a home, or who wants to make a profitable investment. The five reasons stated above should be sufficient to cause you to select your lot or lots now. It would be well worth your while to take a look at this property. You can make an appointment to see it by phoning J. H. Robertson, our colored representative, at Hadley 6924, and whose home address is No. 3201 Pierce Avenue. Or, if you prefer, you can phone direct to our office. We also have other colored representatives, who will be glad to show you this property. Do not delay in selecting your lot in Forest Home.
