GOVERNMENT TO REMOVE VETERANS' HOSPITAL (By the Associated Negro Press.) Montgomery, Ala.—Which is of Alabama or the United States come to a tragic crisis and mis time. What the answer will be have carried their policy of resentment policy to the very threashol at Tuskegee Institute. They have paraded about the in their night wings and night c ended to burn Tuskegee Institute colored personnel being establish hospital for colored veterans of t Montgomery, Ala.—Which is the more powerful, the Ku Klux of Alabama or the United States government? This question has come to a tragic crisis and must be answered in a mighty short time. What the answer will be remains to be seen. The klux have carried their policy of resentment against the U. S. government policy to the very threshold of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee Institute. They have paraded about the institution, including the school, in their night gowns and night caps, and they have openly threatened to burn Tuskegee Institute to the ground in the event of a colored personnel been established at the $2,000,000 government hospital for colored veterans of the world war. This, American citizens of all races, is the answer of the high-handed politicians and klux of Alabama to the announcement of Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, in a letter to War Secretary Robert S. McCain, the commander in chief of the army and navy of the republic, by right invested through the constitution. The Program Won't Work. The Associated Negro Press can state on the highest and most reliable authority that the program of the little group of Alabama politicians is due to the success of the United States, commander in chief of the army and navy of the republic, by right invested through the constitution.

Tuskence Trembles. Tungkeen Institute crumbles, never in its history, for what it is meant to be. It is not that of fortune so much as it is that of fortitude. In this bravery there is an institution with the spirit of Booker T. Washburn hovering above them, to protect them from the dangers of their families, as well as such students and others entrusted to their housing, as the mariners of Justin Little was it dreamed when Tungkeen Institute officials gave of their resources for the preservation of life under the mariners' property and helped lead to such a state of affairs as now commander Steiner of the Akaham American Legion, of bournful prejudice and Kai Kux sympathy, is said to be the government program for the veterans hospital. He is asked by the governor of the United States, of the same state, and of anti-Nazi demagogy, to senator Senator Hefflin, of the same state, in the streets of Washington more than twenty years ago. Senator U.S. Senator not yet publicly expressed him, but not that of the United States, has just returned from a four month' trip abroad, and is not publicly expressing him. Attitude Against Southern Policy. The whole attitude of the little group of Southern white politicians against the establishment at the veterans' hospital is entirely against well-known and well-publicized crimes on the subject of segregation. Northern observers can not understand the psychology. The Associated Negro Press knows of a certainty that scores of white men have been cut off doctors and术士 have feared to express their opinions in the newspapers, however, and newspapers in other Southern states, have spoken out boldly against the folly of censure from the hospital. The Negro Press can state with absolute knowledge that the crux of the entire opposition is not the mere matter of a cohored person's treatment to a so-called groom; nor is it the fear of the power that colored men are institution; the whole trouble is the issue denive of the small group of Southern men of the control of the more than $129,000 annually required to run the hospital all of the institution. VOL. V. THE HOUSTON INFORMER the more powerful, the Ku Klux government? This question has be answered in a mighty short remain to be seen. The klux ment against the U. S. government of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital institution, including the school, aps, and they have openly threat- to the ground in the event of a met the $2,000,000 government be world war. The Program Won't Work. The Associated Negro Press can state on the highest and most reliable authority that the program of the little group of Abhama politicians is due to be used in the event of many reasons why it will not work. President Harding is the first; and the president and Director Hines have determined to give a coerced person a trial at the veterans' hospital, and the program no longer weakening. The opposition has no evidence against the program, and on the other hand, their attitude has digested the official officials into a determent to go the land, with the program, backed up with all government charges. Taking the other side of the argument: If there should develop such affairs that it might be brought to the land, with the program, backed up with all government charges, there will be no veterans' hospital in Tankou, so far as patients who may be taken there by the program are colored nurses, a number of who are already on the ground, coming from the best institutions of the land, expected to continue their services in the institution, and the entire prosecution to the best information obtainable gathered from sources that can not be Colored public speakers and colored newspapers of the country will practice their attendance at the hospital under the circumstances advocated by the little group of people who have their threats and vengeance will be ignored, according to general opinion. The colored people of America will be the most prominent public campaign even conductors and seers. The colored people will be treated with some degree of justice. In this regard the colored people has been regarded as one of the outstanding挂长 states in the South, giving a better deal to her hundreds of thousands of dollars. The colored people will fall to a state of degradae of her splendid new habbling and gregressive colored population. Finally the colored people will be more powerful, the Klu Kuz of Alabama or the United States governs Ancient Order of Pilgrims: By virtue of the authority in me- vested as worthy翼her of Victoria and Albert University, we are joint meeting of all local manurec s of the Houston district, through your meeting on Tuesday night, July 24, 1923, in Tuesday night, July 24, 1923, in Saint Ferdinand, Sacramento, L.

MEMBERS HEARD BANKER MONDAY NIGHT It is oddness that our people enjoy a speech as much as they did delivered by Mr. W. S. Patton, vice president and South Texas Coordinator, National Bank, based in Colorado. Colored Commercial Club Monday night. The meeting was held in the Patton office, and the American Mutual and was attended by a representative number of business and financial leaders, but the Mr. Patton speech, as he not only spoke to the club, but gave the club a typical illustration of concrete examples of teamwork and co-operation. He held at length upon the 1924 meeting, but Houston was not only co-operation at the recent International Advertising Association, held at ATL in 1924, but Houston was made and cemented a friendship with the Brits who they little dreamed of then and which has given Houston of the English journals, of the English publications of our native publications of the East. At the conclusion of his able address, the English journal Patton a rising vote thanks for the mastery message he received for the secretary, who told of his fellowship and willowing Richardson, executive secretary, who told of his fellowship and willowing Patton is also a member of the local inter-commial relationship and is one of the people responded to Mr. Patton's address and made a miffy talk, which was "mutimum VETERAN MINISTER INTERRED TUESDAY Rev.

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.

Published every Saturday at 41c Wilmst Street, Houston, Texas. Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1519, at the postoffice at Houston "texas, under the Act of March 3, 1973." HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923. WHAT ABOUT SCHULENBERG, GOVERNOR? WHAT ABOUT SCHULENBERG, GOVERNOR? The action of the acting governor, T. W. Davidson, in demanding an investigation into the Somerville outrage and his painful silence regarding the mobocratic orgy at Schulenberg, is rather difficult for this paper to understand. It is true that the Somerville victim, who was slain within the sacred precincts of his own home, was a white man, and the victim of the Schulenberg lynchocrats was a black man; but does this difference in color of the victims determine the action of the acting governor? If the depredation and cowardly act of a number of masked men, who invaded the home of a citizen and ruthlessly murdered him, is enough to demand official investigation (and we believe that the unwarranted act called for such action), then by what method of reasoning should the mob's atrocious crime of seizing an accused culprit (no trial had been held and his guilt had not been established by due process of law) and treating him to a dose of America's famous pastime and exodus stimuli be overlooked by the acting governor of the Lone Star State? Perhaps the acting governor doesn't know that lynching and its attendant evils are doing to precipitate a rift between the two races in the Soul and add impetus to the migration of colored Southerners to the North and East than any other type of Dixie injustice and atrocity. During the first six months of 1923 Texas barely remained in the Lynching League, having staged only one mobocratic fest; but hardly the percentage of the teams' standing for the first six months been published before the Lone Star State made a noble effort to get in the race for premier honors in Judge Lynch's loom for the second half of the present season. The acting governor or the governor should never permit any lynching bee to be pulled off in this state without at least putting up a front at an investigation, or he should at least issue an official condemnation of the heathenish and hellish horror. The players in the Lynching League, consider such silence as an approval of their act and thus they never lose an opportunity to stage one of their celebrated and famed stunts. Texas was the only Southern state that showed an increase in colored population during the last decade, but if mob law and gang rule are to prevail in Texas, then the 1950 census will disclose the fact that Texas is minus several thousand of its black population. For years Georgia either led the Lynching League or ran Texas and Mississippi close second; but today Georgia is face to face with an economic situation that is both acute and alarming, all due to the hegia of the maltreated colored brother to more civilized and humane climes. Mississippi has also learned her bitter lesson too late and her rich and fertile lands are idle, growing up in weeds and proving a liability to the big land owners and planters. The colored man is not going to remain in the South and be food for the hungry and howling exponents of the Lynching League, and as long as other sections of the country invite him and offer him better inducements, he is going to migrate and migrate in large numbers. If Texas wants to get in the sad plight and dilemma of Georgia and Mississippi, just let her continue to aid, abet and condone such atrocities as the Schulenburg mobocratic demonstration and some morning the white leaders of the state will awake and discover that their black brother has joined his fraters from Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama and other states of the mobocratic South in their new home in the North and East. Despite the fact that fully ten days have elapsed since the unfortunate colored man was lynched on the streets of this little onehorse Texas burg, not a single voice has been raised from any circle, among the whites, in Texas. We have even failed to see where the Inter-Racial Commission has wired the acting governor protesting against such barbarities and it seems, from this angle, that the mob's action has met the unqualified endorsement of the entire state. But The Informer wishes to warn and advise the acting governor and others who are interested in Texas that, while investigating Somerville, Schulenburg should not be overlooked; for such incidents have a funny way, that the wrong time. Our Southern white friends are importing the race leaders to urge and provoke white people with the colored people to remain in the South but in the name of high heaven do they expect these colored leaders to make any headway in the face of such atrocities and barbarities as pulled off by the players of the Lynching League in the various Southern states, who seem to be running an annual race to see which state can lynch the largest number of colored Americans? Do the white Texans desire their colored brothers to migrate? Are they tired of and disgusted with their colored neighbors? Do they favor law and order or lynch law and gang rule? The law must know no color line, for when it does it ceases to be THE law and merely becomes A law! Here's hoping that Texas chief executive will pay a little attention to such actions as the recent one per capita at Schulenburg and not permit such acts to go unchallenged; for lynch law will ultimately destroy any people who engage in it or any nation that tolerates and condones it. What about Schulenburg, governor? THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY. JULY 14. 1923 HIGH-SOUNDING RESOLUTIONS. HIGH-SOUNDING RESOLUTIONS. A Methodist Episcopal body, in North Carolina, passed some resolutions deploring the recent Tuskegee demonstration by hooded figures and went on to cite the part this noted institution of learning, founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, had played in the development of the South and in aiding this section to solve its so-called "race problem." But we fear that our white friends, like their colored brothers in associations, conventions, grand lodges and other such gatherings, are "resoluting" and "resolving" too much here of late and doing too little to alter the conditions of and on which they resolve. Several Southern religious bodies, in convention or conference assembled, have spoken out against mob-violence and kindred evil; but how many of these pastors and district superintendents have returned to their charges and districts and preached these same messages to their constituents and parishioners? It is all right to pass resolutions hundred miles away from the scene of one's activities or remote from the place whose particular acts are deplored; but such long-distance preaching and resolving will not accomplish near as much as a little preaching to the local churches on such matters. The vast majority of the church-going people seldom, if ever, read these news items containing excerpts from such pronouncements and the few that do read them little more than passing notice. If the Southern white minister wants to see conditions changed in the South, why doesn't he thunder a few Sundays from his local churches in the injustices and inequalities administered the colored man in Dixie. If he really is in earnest about the Christianity of which he prates and attempts to peddle to the world, why doesn't he do a little more home mission work and less foreign mission work? Why wait to go to some conference or meeting hundreds of miles from the church to meet the mission condemning this and deploring that, when a little effort from his local punit change the inter-racial conditions almost overnight in his own locality? Why chase after the shadow and miss the substance? We are witnessing too much grandstand play in this country, and when you ask these players to cut out the gallery stuff and engage in teamwork, they cease to be very valuable to the cause, and we are noticing these Methodist in his local punit on the Tuskegee incident, but merely calling their attention to the fact that such long-distance resolutions are not near as effective and far-reaching as a few strong and timely sermons delivered before their several congregations in their local churches; for we venture the assertion that, even in that crowd that sought to be a part of the mission, the Alabama Methodist and Baptist churches were represented in large numbers. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools is scheduled to meet at Tuskegee about July 25-27, 1923, and The Informer is debating in its journalistic mind whether it will be a good idea for the Methodist and Baptist teachers to visit Tuskegee, especially since the Alabama klansmen are so hot in the collar; if it is reported that they have sent out the word that, if the United States Veterans' Hospital for colored soldiers at Tuskegee is manned by a colored personnel, they will set fire to the entire institution and raze it to the ground with Right now Tuskegee is facing a nasty and mean situation, which is uncalled for, unprovoked and unwarranted, and it will require something stronger than resolutions written on paper to curb the mean temper and allay the tension around the school. High-sounding resolutions will not do the trick, but will result in the teachers and willes of Tuskegee Institute to constitute a unit in a medical college which could easily be operated at this great institution of learning and purchase land in some Northern state and erect a hospital for these disabled veterans; for if the hospital remains at Tuskegee either with colored personnel, mixed personnel or white personnel it is going to be the hot-bed of racial prejudice, animosity antipathy, hatred and prejudice and the federal government will be forced to make the same kind of hospital to remain at Tuskegee under the existing circumstances and prevailing conditions. C. C. C. AND GRAND LODGES. The Houston Colored Commercial Club went on record, at its Monday night meeting, extending an invitation to the grand lodges of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten of Texas and the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth of the Lone Star State jurisdiction, to hold their 1924 meetings in "heavenly Houston." It also voted to represent at and affiliate with the National Negro Business League, which will hold its annual session at Hot Springs, Ark., August 16-18, 1923. Several members of the local organization signified their intention to attend the national meeting and the idea of a special Pullman car from Houston to Hot Springs was suggested and if it was approved, the Pullman car can be secured, and thus the Houston delegation will be afforded an excellent opportunity to not only attend this great meeting, but to advertise and boost our city like it has never been done before by a colored delegation. The effort and attitude of the Colored Commercial Club to bring the Pullman car from Houston to Hot Springs is in keeping with the tutorial in last week's Inquiry, should meet the hearty support and approval of members of the local lodges of these two orders and even citizens generally. We have slept on our rights in this respect and we are determined that henceforth, now and forever the claims of Houston are being addressed by the national guilds. Such an organization as the Colored Commercial Club really functioning, it will not be so difficult to provide accommodations and entertainment for "the stranger within our gates." The local lodges of the Odd Fellows and United Brothers of Friendship should co-operate with the Colored Commercial Club and the claims of Houston before these two forthcoming grand lodges. Co-operation from the Chamber of Commerce has already been assured and the city council stands ready to do its part in extending the welcome; while any number of our white citizens will gladdy and willingly do whatever they can consistently to help the city, we will also ensure these grand lodges, but to put over the entertainment feature. For really and truly, when Miss Houston makes up her mind to entertain, believe us, she knows her "biz" and "struts her stuff," and visitors thus entertained can't get "enuf." Both of these grand lodges owe Houston something and Houston owes these grand lodges something and the only way both can reciprocate will be for Houston to be hostess to their 1924 grand sessions. Let our slogan be, "On to Houston for 1924!" SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER THE NEW YORK TIMES MR. J.

Gould, aged 21 years by R. W. B. Gould. Rev. Ski, members of Brown Chapel A. M. E. Church, and sorrowful friends, we have come to place our token of esteem in the still open grave of our late mother to the Christian Maggie Bassig Phillips. It is true that age is indicative of an end, but youth holds no unbreakable tenacity on life. It is true to old age; he goes in the full strength of youth, the infant in his innocence and beauty, who is still. Before us is a diadem, a rose of fragrance just budding into womanhood, plucked in early life from the garden of the home and family circle of the Summum family, where death has so far occurred. In the chain of endearment. Brown Chapel A. M. E. Church, which classifies the community at large are now filled with sorrow and lament. Bright and illuminous light has been added to the community at large are now filled with sorrow and lament. Father, sisters, husband and friends have a great reluctance to bow and say goodbye. Gently moved the chair from its usual place Where Maggie sat with a smiling face. In the City of White that is free from She has gone to dwell in joy within. A life and character that was filled with delight. Her conductance was clear, her way was upright. As a Christian she stood with a spot- less name. And she sleeps devoid of all shame. Maggie has gone to the peaceful shore To meet her kindred who have gone before. Her mother, sisters, relatives and friends. Met her at the gate amid a shout of amends. O such a life let us emulate, And for our reward let us strive and then do not weep, away your眼泪 She has left this vale of doubt and fears. 'Tis sweet to live and die a Christian death. To enter Paradise after our parting 'Tis sweet to cross the river to The City of the Blest. Where we shall cease from labor and have funnelled. Farewell, dear Maggie, you have left us soon To soar beyond this strife and gloom You have joined the choir in the Haven We are coming, too, to the City of Love.

Boston, Mass.—Boston is traditionally fair in its stand upon the rights of humanity, and Mayor Curley does not propose to sidestep or backstep one iota in sustaining the traditions. Charles C. Dogan, American, and well, and well, and color, an honor high school student, was selected from all of the thousands of high school students in Boston to read the famous Declaration of Independence at the state house on July 4. Of all honors that could be heaped upon a young American of any group, none could surpass this in Boston, where patriotism is as fundamental as baked beans. A cup of three narrow-minded-infante afrafa of Massachusetts and Boston divides, addressing their statement from North Carolina, undertook the job of scoring Mayor Curley for naming Dogan for the honor. What the mayor of Boston said to these individals will go down in history as a man of integrity and on insult to the traditions of their country, is the famous Boston Tea Party. Said the mayor of Boston to the alleged Dogan Selected on Merit. "Charles C. Dopan was selected for the honor conferred on him for excellence in patience and capacity in the generous rivalry of school life to make him a leader in the community," he says to say, a pupil of more than oratory attainment.
