The Negro section of the city, including the famous Maven Ave. building, the Temple and the home of the Negro, served as an impressive introduction to the enterprise of the citizens of the city. The nations to put over big projects. Dedicates to a magister convention delegates to a convention to be held, and been said of them. An impressive array of came from all parts of the country. Governor McRae Speaks. The outstanding features of this year's sessions were the speeches taken to crystallize, to some extent, the attitude of Southern white people in the national government, the president of the league, the actual adoption of a program, the actual adoption of a program to bring into play an aggressive attack on the problem, the McAfee's speech dealt with those phases of the life and problems of Negroes, and the honored among Southern speakers as such occurrences, the propriety of Negro Negroes, as well as white ladies, with the other, the world would mean the other, not by the other, but by its good; the necessary forage of a feeling of good will with his own interest in doing all he could in order that the Negro was introduced by a Negro who had lived, with a Negro who had lived, with a Speaker told of some of the things this state executive had done to hit the Negro, to the outside, things which included the buying of a school and the gift land. Moton Equal to Task. Naturally, much interest centered around what Dr. Moton would have to say the day.

If you must get ready to come back, and you be hanging out," the head of the league, on the famous Tuskegee hospital situation. Dr. Moton used figures in referring to the progress of the league since its opening in Booker, T. Washington years ago. At that time, he said, there was not more than 20,000 business organizations operated by colored people with an aggregate capital of $10,000,000. with a combined capital of $0,000,000. Some argue it is expressed that in cities where are large groups of Negroes more has not been done, but the hope was held for that there. "We have now 12 successful Negro banks" explained Dr. Moton. We have 12 successful Negro banks, particularly in the North, where many cities with a large Negro population, particularly in the North, where we could accomplish any reasonable business could result if property management. I should like to mention that we have with its great Negro population in Harlem; there ought to be and there unobediently with the near future in a banking and trust company operated by our people, and with the success of the bank and trust company under the leadership of John E.

I stand on that position today and there is no man living who can make me change it, and there is no man living who can make me remember that will make me surrender it. "On the other hand, there is the question of good will between the races to be considered. For 35 years, Washougal has been a teacher, a teacher that the school and the town were constantly moving forward in hearty co-operation, and there were those among our white friends in the town that were not as strong as steadfast in their determination that these harmonious relations should not be disturbed as he. Therefore, to avoid any possible rupture of these relations, we must be as far as possible public statements on the situation; I have preferred to adjust the matter on a satisfactory basis, and I have reinforced my recommendations with the statement that If Negro physicians were not as strong as steadfast it would be the occasion of great embarrassment to all concurrents. At the conclusion of Dr. Moton's speech, the convention passed a reed to trovery. The committee composed of B Hunter, Bert Roddy, Jesse Jones, J. E Mitchell, J. E Wright, B. R. Wright, and made itself personally responsible to the extent of $8,000,000 by January 1st.

"Heavenly Houston" is host this week to that host of Baptists comprising the State Baptist Young People's Union and Sunday School Convention, which is one of the most representative and largely attended gatherings of our people in the entire Southland. Among the messengers from all parts of Texas attending this joint convention are to be found lawyers, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, educators, authors, journalists, publicists, skilled artisans, welfare workers, ministers, farmers, laborers, men and women, both young and old (mostly the former), in all vocations of honorable calling. These representatives are here on "business for the King" and are here to study and be taught advanced and modern methods for kingdom building and expansion. In the main, they are active workers in these two auxiliaries of their local churches and are here this week in an annual school to receive instruction, information and inspiration, in order that they may return to their several homes and put into operation some of the advanced ideas gained here in these phases of religious activity and Christian endeavor. The Informer delights to welcome these Christian workers to our great and growing city, because they are engaged in a work that deals with and vitally affects both the present and future race. The Baptist church still stands like adamant by its ancient and time-honored doctrine of "one Lord, one faith and one baptism." It is one religious denomination where the people rule—democracy—and, despite the assaults and attacks of liberalism, modernism and the Baptist still contend for the "faith once delivered to the saints." They believe in a militant Christianity and the evangelization of the world through the teaching and preaching of the divinely inspired Word, as recorded in the Magna Charta in the realm of Christendom. It is ennacious and doggedly to the doctrine of regeneration: believing that the truly regenerated or re-born man is saved once for all time—"once in Christ never out." They believe in education and have made wonderful strides in the intellectual field, for there is no colored religious gathering in all Dixie that can boost of more college graduates and educated young men and women than the convention in session here this week. The Baptists believe in peace, but not in peace at any price. Though secular and sacred historians credit the origin of the Baptist Church in America to Roger Williams in 1639, Baptists hold that their church antedates this period—that John the Baptist was the early forerunner and that Jesus Christ, Himself, was its founder. Entering into any religious debate or denominational controversy, this fact stands out boldly, that the Baptist Church is a potent, virile and dominant force in the life of this country and its black devotees, adherents and communicants are "carrying on" in this splendid work of man's redemption and salvation and the complete establishment or restoration of the Messianic kingdoms. It affords the Informer no small degree of pleasure to extend a most hearty and cordial welcome to the Baptist State B. Y. P. U. and S. S. Convention, and we bespeak for them a glorious and successful session in the "Manchester of America"—the city with a million opportunities. Houston is the best naturally endowed city in Texas and here the colored man has made great gains and accumulated vast material possessions. More members of our own race own or are buying their homes in Houston than in any city its size in the United States. Industrially and economically there is no barrier nor limitation to the number of churches and impatiens that Houston is a city of churches and Mecca for preachers with a future, those with a past and likewise those with neither a past, present nor future. Through the physical equipment does not compare favorably with the equipment does in other Texas cities, our public schools stand second to none in efficiency, thoroughness and high standard of literary excellence. Baptists, you are in the metropolis of Texas, the garden spot of the South and the fastest growing municipality in the entire South. To all that our city has or hopes to have, we bid you welcome! WHAT ABOUT TEXAS GOVERNOR? In delivering an address at Chautauqua, New York, a few days hence, Governor Pat Neff of Texas paid his respects, by inference at least, to Governor John R. McCarthy, the governor of our governor's New York address was law and order, respect for the 18th constitutional amendment and the over- PAGE FOUR NEW SUBSCRIPTION RATES: THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 throw and suppression of the Modern Order of Bootleggers and Association of 18th Amendment Nullificationists. City Ha City Happenings In the days of our youth we always observed that the woman who had the worst children in the community, was always trying to tell other parents how to rear and train their children—most of them did not behavior and deportment that Sister Buoy, body's offspring. Dr. G. W. Wilkins, Victoria, was in the city this week. It has often occurred that parents, who devote most of their time looking after other people's children, live to see their own seed begging or going cell-mell to the demission bow-wows. It has also been the case to fit it by these people's paternal errors of omission and commission. Miss Ethel Lee Chapman is visiting her aster, Mrs. Maria Pinkins, at San Antonio. It sounds nice and makes good reading matter to give other people gratuitous advice on how to conduct their affairs, but it looks nicer and is more consistent to teach by both precept and example, governor! Mara, Routt. Sealy, is visiting her daughter, Mheran. Sberman Martin, 157 Mara, Cliffon Scott, 2217 Tennyson, Dalias and other North Texas cottage. We admit, governor, that bootlegging is a crime against both the state and national laws and that the 18th amendment to the constitution prohibits such activity. Mrs. Alberta Young, 1514 Mason, left this week to join her husband in San Francisco, where they will reside. We are also forced to admit that mob-law, gang rule, hooded terrorism, peonage, discrimination, segregation, disfranchisement, arson and murder are crimes and generally on a broader and more organized scale. Mrs. J. L. Mitchell, 3413 St. Eman uel, has been ill for the past few days but is much improved. Yea, going still further, we are also compelled to admit that the 15th and 15th amendments to the constitution are also laws of the land. Miss Beatrice Cebrum, 1020 St Charles, in spending the week in Galveston. Have you ever heard of these two constitutional amendments, governor? Mr. Frank Lee, brother-in-law to Dr A. E. Jones, was in the city this week the guest of his sister. In pursuing your literary and legal course, governor, did you ever hear about or read these two constitutional amendments? See Spiray Printing Co. for good printing. Phone Preston 1959; 3238 dKlause. Reasonable rates. Work called for and delivered promptly. Since becoming governor of the Lone Star State, has your attention ever been called to these amendments and other violations and infractions, often willful and malicious, of the basic laws of our country? Mrs. Ruth Gary, Dallas, is visiting her father and sister, Mr. G. A. Reeves and Miss Lillian Reeves, 1506 Buckner Street. Are you on speaking terms with our bill of rights? Governor, have you been officially or otherwise notified of horrors and atrocities with recurring abundance and painful regularity in Texas since your elevation to the highest office within the gift of the electorate of this commonwealth? Chas. Walker, Dowling Street, will leave Sunday in wife in Hole in the Rock they expect to reside permanently. Mrs. S. M. P. Collard, 917 Hercules Houston Heights, leaves Saturday for a two week's trip to friends in Wailua. Do you know that the 18th amendment is not the only constitutional provision and statute that is trampled under the feet of men? Are you aware of the fact, governor, that in Harris County, Alabama, you are in six months that in the combined British empire in one year? Miss Frank Tervis, Beaumont, after a two weeks' visit to relatives and friends in the city, returned home this week. Do you know that American citizens have been seized by lawless bands almost beneath the window of your gubernatorial mansion and under the very shadow of the capitol dome, and brutally and barbarously treated by organized terrorists and anarchists? M. A. N. Kyle, 900 Rhode Street has returned from his vacation spent in Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City and Newton, Kan. Has it ever occurred to you, your excellency, that your home burg, Waco (be better known as "Barbecue cille") has burged American citizens, both live and dead, right on the public square and dragged their lifeless and charred bodies past your residence? Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Smith, who have been visiting the mother's mother, Mrs. R. C. Smith, turned to their home in Detroit, Mich. Mesdames Pannie Snowden and Arzee Madison, Marshall, motored the Bentley Convention here this week. Have you been apprised of wholesale abductions, deportations, floggings, emasculations and other heinous and horrible outrages and depredations, right in your own state, which make the unfortunate Turk blush with shame and seek new fields for his laurels? Dean J. H. Rowe of P. V. College paid our city a visit last week, being en route home from an overland trip to Galveston. Say, governor, you have heard of Teneha, Somerville, Goose Teague, Texarkana, and numerous other Texas towns, where mobi- vidence and disregard for constituted authority, in some form, has manifested itself during the nearly three years you have been in office. Mim Valida Madison last week for Los Angeles, Cal. to visit friends and will go for the remainder of the summer. Forty years of constant use is the reason the Wifes' Cream Vermifuge for expelling worms in children or adults. Price is $150. Which is the greater menace, governor: the bootleger, whose customers are sure to laugh, and窃贼, whose customers knowingly, though, by窃贼, have been terrified and lynchcrates, who overthrow constituted authority and establish a reign of disorder, discord, confusion and bloodshed and set up a kingdom of terror. When you feel lazy, out of sorts you need Hermine to help you need Hermine to stimulate your liver, tone up your stomach and neck you need Hermine 60c. Sold by Herbert's Drug Store. Listen, governor, what about that state law that expressly stipulates that railroad accommodations in Texas for white and colored Mrs. Beaush Clem and children, 2414 Francis street, have returned from m two week' visit to relatives at Columbus university. Does little "ole" *New York* "jim-crow" part of its citizens, while forcing them to pay the same fare as those passengers enjoying first-class accommodations? Does New York have a ballot to any part of its citizenry on account of creed, color or class? Mrs. Thelma Marshall, ee Edwards, after a 10 days' visit to her parents, Mr. and Mr. H. P. Edwards, returned this week to her home in Garry, Ine. Are certain New Yorkers counted IN for representation purposes and counted OUT at the ballot boxes? Does New York exclude certain of its citizens from duty on petit and grand juries? Misses Geraldine Jerald of Marlin and Eloise Pettaway of Orange were visitors to our city since our last is sue. Is New York a member of the Lynching League and has that state ever led that loop like Texas did last year? 3-room house, with city water $1000; $50 down, $18 per month. See M. TONKEY at his home, $86 McKee Street, or call Prost 2009. Tell us, governor, has New York the sad and sorrowful spectacle of the unholy alliance between church and state in her political affair. Do the New York cities provide playgrounds and recreational spaces for the population, or are these agencies operated and maintained for all the people? All members of the Masonic Charity Club are hereby requested to meet Sunday, August 24, at Arnold's hall on 10th Street at 10am. p. W. J. Perry, president. Just between you and us, governor, without New York's capital, where we our boasted Lone Star State be today, commercially and financially?

Do hooded bands of terrorists and misguided zealots throw conservation into the breasts of her citizens and ride roughhod over constituted authority—dethroning democracy and enthroning mobocracy, plutocracy and "hellocracy?" Wilde Dare, wife of Mrs. Darlin Chark, 2006 McDonnell, after a few days stay with his sister during her baby birth, left for Shiro this week. Does peonage exist in its shameless, hideous and demoralizing form on numerous farms and plantations in the Empire State? Does taxation without representation prevail in the state whose administrator you so bitterly and vehemently assailed in your speech? WANTED-Colored men to qualify for sleeping car and train porters. Existence unnecessary. Transportation St. T. McAffrey, Supp. St. Louis, Mo. Are you familiar and acquainted with the lawless records of both states. Since comparisons are ooidious, and, since you possibly have had occasion to reflect on your New York outburst, can't you see, governor, that your most virgin and fertile field for constructive criticism, law enforcement, respect for the constitution and ALL AMENDMENTS, is the Lone Star State, over which you preside. Mrs. H. C. Whitaker, 2201 Greg Graham, week for Philadelphia, Boston, New York, points. On her return trip she will visit relatives in Louisiana. Mrs. J. H. Jolien, 1403 Sydor, and Joseph J. Koch, 1403 Elth, Elth, and grandmother, Lucy Gurso, are visiting Los Angeles, Prisco Seattle, Portland and other western Fighting at long range delays or stays victory. Why not pitch your camp and wage battle against the foes of orderly government with the best of their skills? Why continue?

Alus will be there for the concert, which will present some of the city's leading literary and musical talent in grand Governor, permit us, in conclusion, to quote a few words from the Holy Writ, as uttered by the Great Teacher in His celebrated *And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? . . . Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then thank us see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.* The informer is in receipt of a card from Provenza, who is a member of a party of Deswrites, viewing the Rockies in the "hierarchical view point in Denver, Colo., than in San Diego."

Barnabas, the Man (Acts 4:26) His original name was Joseph. When he became a Christian, he was sent to Jerusalem and changed the old life to the new. This was a common custom, for example, to Peter and Samuel to and Prophecy or "exhortation or concession" This shows not only the nature of Barnabas but also the spirit of Barnabas but also the preaching. The exercise of this gift made him a son of consolation. (Acts 4:27) So fully had the divine love permeated the very being of Barmain the healer, the priest, the healer, he sold his property and brought the money and hid it at the apothetic feet. His generous exertion led him to write his words and prefaces. He counted nothing his own while his brother was dead. He obliged to do this as there was no such thing in the early church as a private ownership of property was recognized. Acts 54: 11. H.B. Barmain Christian State and Church. The violent persecutions of the church scattered the disciples. As any went they preyed on the church, and were established. The most conspicuous of these was at Antich, the capital of Syria, because it was the place of the spies of Christianity. Everything went well as long as the Gospel message was preached to the Jews and the disciples at that time but that the Gates were excluded. But at Antich certain of these disciples dellerely believed and turned to the Lord. The soil of the Lord was upon this ministry and great multitudes believed and turned to the Lord. The news of the ear of the church at Jerusalem and caused not a little excitement and discussion. The church decided to look into the matter. 4. Barbaina and Saul go to Jerusalem with Alms (vs. 25-30). Because Christ and with one another, the distress of the brethren at Jerusalem must be relieved by the gifts of the saints. Jesus had a powerful effect in reminding the supplicants of the brethren at Jerusalem. **Goof's Eternal Universe.** This is hit the nursery ground, from where we are to be transplanted into the great forest of Goof's eternal universe. - W. Widderton. **Among Men.** Among men, the hardest-hurtred son that most love change. - Hunkin. **Age Retards Athlete** Age and its relation to athletics is coming in for consideration. Kibane is at thirty-four was an older man politically disillusioned that Willard at forty. Over in New York, George Putnam, who is eighty years old, and he plays lawn every day. Putnam is Kibane's age when he won the heavy-weight championship. The Seven members in the 69th and 79th who play better golf now in their 30s. Many members in the 69th and 79th who take care of himself. In professional sport an athlete is regarded as a veteran after a few years of competition. Ball players and boxers are devoted to an veteran. Benny Leonard, the Rightweight champion, in a copper young person, is devoted to the veteran lightweight champion. MANUSH SHOULD STAR AS HEAVY SLUGGER "A natural hitter who inside of a couple of years should be one of the best leagues. If he continues to improve and learn an rapidly as he has since the opening of the season, he will be a top choice of Heine Mahnke, routed outside of the Tygers. Cobb prefers batman, certainly knowledges. You can see why as a big leaker, is cranking all kinds of trouble for the turbines in the Johnson organization. Standing well over six feet tall, Cobb makes him a cut at the ball that reminds you of Nap Lajoie, Hana Wang and Cranston. Crawford makes him on old days.
