There is every reason to believe that the president was not aware of the feeling of the group with reference to the secretary; there is every reason to believe that the president is now fully informed in every particular. The White House received a "storm warning" immediately following the appointment. A number of persons aware of the slant of thought on the subject hastened to say that from one end of the country to the other clouds of regret, dismay and even disgust would fly over the District of Columbia. The prophecy was not exaggerated in the least. Assurances of a fair deal and a successful White House, and from friends of the administration. One of the first acts of the new secretary was to issue a statement informing the country of the distinguished bill. "That we are clever play, and show who's beaon beaon," said one old-timer. The president then began to see prominent citizens, both men and women, lightens assurances.

Morris, well known and able lawyer, was selected. For years one of the hopes of the colored electorate of Chicago has been to place a man upon the judicial bench. Judges are nominated by the central committee which has named candidates on several occasions who have always gone down in defeat. The opportunity to make the fight again came through the clever manipulation of colored political leaders and Edward H. Wright, committeeman and "boss" of the Second Ward, is being given the lion's share of the credit. The democrats and republicans had a fusion or coalition ticket all but agreed upon. At the last moment they split and both parties held conventions composed of committeemen from the various wards and districts to select states. Edward H. Wright was the only colored man in the convention, but he is recognized as a power and when the Second Ward was called on to express its sentiment and present its choice, he arose and asked the convention to hear a committee of colored citizens who had come to press the claim of the group to a place on the judicial ticket. Alderman Louis B. Anderson was the spokesman and in an effective and clever talk he presented to the assembly the advantage to the party of recognition of "the brewers," calling their attention not only to the solid phalanx of 25,000 voters in the Second Ward, but the city-wide support which would be brought to the G. O. P. as a result. Others on the committee were Attorneyin Violet Anderson, A. E. Patterson, I. B. Turner and O. D. Priest, who spoke. The convention was impressed and named Mr. Morris as one of the 20 candidates for the superior court bench. The position pays $15,000 a year. Mr. Morris, who is national grand master of the Fellows, is married and rated as one of Chicago's wealthiest citizens. All factions agree that his ability is unquestioned, that he has the judicial temperament, and that if elected he will reflect credit upon the court.

Beginning with talks by laymen and ministers in the various churches of the city on Sunday, October 14, the first gun will be fired in the campaign of educating our people to the importance and necessity of trading with the business and professional men and women of our race. This event, known as Negro Trade Week, is being sponsored and conducted by the Houston Colored Commercial Club and is only one of a series of such weeks contemplated by this organization. Elsewhere in this issue appear the advertisements of several of the business concerns and professional men holding membership in the organization, and it is hoped that our people will go out of their way during next week to purchase some article from a colored business man or patrineen some race professional. Credit for success of the publicity feature is due Campbell A. Gilmore, chairman of the publicity committee, and Rodney D. Hardway, who functioned 100 per cent in soliciting copy and selling space to the race business and professional men of Houston. If every colored person in Houston will just buy some one article from a colored business man during next week, we have no idea how far-reaching this campaign will be. It will be like casting bread upon the waters, for it will not return unto us void and of no effect. We wish to also compliment the business and professional men of the city for their unstinted support and whole-souled encouragement of this novel undertaking, and bespeak for them a successful week. We wish to advise these men, however, not to expect too much, for this is the first venture of its kind ever undertaken here such a scale and in a manner, and our people must be educated, and education is a show, tedious and expensive process, yet education always pays and is a mighty good investment. The pastors of the city can be of inestimable assistance to this movement by giving these speakers ample time to explain the purpose, object and scope of Negro Trade Week, and by urging and insisting upon their members and parishioners observing the week as asked and advised. This race-building proposition is a tremendous task and most difficult and often, thankless, job, and to make any appreciable headway towards its final consummation requires concerted action, team-play and solidarity of our forces, with due respect for and confidence in our leadership. The Houston Colored Commercial Club is composed of the most substantial business and professional men of the city, and surely any program of this nature that they endeavor to put over, is worthy of the support and encouragement of people. Not only will members of the club and advertisers of the special business and professional men from the undertaking, but every colored business and professional man in Houston will reap some benefit from this Negro Trade Week, sooner or later. We might as well make up our minds and resign ourselves to our fate, for if our race is ever to attain the cloud summits reached by other races and people, we must be the architects of our own destiny and such rise and ascent can only be accomplished through our own efforts and that largely along commercial, financial and economic lines. Let us all buy some article from some colored concern during Negro Trade Week, beginning officially and formally Monday, October 15, and ending Saturday night, October 20, 1923. We need to get in the habit of thinking more in terms of each other's success and progress in and into blasting and rejoicing at each other's failures, reverses and downfalls. We should look around us on all sides and read the signs of the time; for, apparently, we are under the soporific influence of lethargy and indifference and have been lulled to sleep by the siren song of those who would keep us in mental servitude and economic bondage. Buy something, if no more than a bar of soap or box of matches, from some colored concern during next week; and, while we do not desire to appear selfish, we are duty bound to suggest that you trade with those whose ads appear elsewhere in this issue of The Informer. Let's pull together and face the rising sum of a better and grander day in the business and commercial world. Selah! THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCT. 13, 1923. CHORAL CLUB FOR COLORED HOUSTON CHORAL CLUB FOR COLORED HOUSTON Since the musical melange at Antioch Baptist Church last week, when the Super-Stars Choral Club won new hauches and added additional trimmings, there has been much talk, locally, of the need of a permanent choral society among our people, using the present club as the nucleus. The Informer has repeatedly called attention to our need along this line and has often urged that our musical leaders get together and start one such organization. Our people's appreciation for music must be developed and the only way that can be accomplished, will be through the rendition of such cultural and high-class entertainments as the one recently staged at Antioch. As a race of singers, we have proven our ability to sing the race spirituals and folk-lore songs, and because of that fact, many people of other races, especially, are of the opinion that colored people can only sing the ditties and "befo' de wah" songs. We need to develop our latent talent along musical lines and cultivate and create a fondness among our people for real music. Too many of our people have gone jazz and rag-time crazy, and we need a real musical renaissance. Already this club, which has never perfected an organization, has merely a group of church workers and choir singers, who respond to the music of churches and churches can cause from time to time, has been invited to sing before two white church congregations. The first request was for the singing of classical spirituals and the second request was for two grand opera numbers; but as the hour of the programs was at an inopportune time for the master of the club members, the invitations were graciously declined. The musical directress of the club has been literally besieged with applications for membership in this impromptu singing aggregation, and she has been compelled to inform the applicants that the club is not organized. We merely mention these things to show the need of such a musical organization among our people in Houston, and The Informer suggests that the "super-stars" perfect a permanent organization and become the nucleus for a choral society in this club. We have the talent, both in singers, directors, and musicians, and the fact that we have no such body is to the everlasting discredit and shame of our boasted city. The "super-stars" should get busy, organize and lay the foundation for a musical society in this city that will bring fame and glory both to our race and great municipality. EDICATION AND ANONYMITY. The Informer is in receipt of an anonymous letter from some student or students of Houston College, complaining about what they term the "worst conditions in the history of the school." The letter also charges that "skirts rule the institution" and that "there is an effort now on hand by all the students to go home," etc. The Informer knows nothing about the present conditions at Houston College and only mentions some of the letter's contents to call attention to the spirit of anonymity and employment of the mask, even in educational circles. If education should accomplish one thing, it should be the elimination of anonymity and the mask, particularly among students and graduates of Christian institutions of learning. The education and education should be thought of, it should be for the benefit unmasked, fearless, courageous and manly citizens—men and women who are not afraid to stare their positions at all times and sign their names and show their faces. We are given too much to the practice of throwing a rock and a ball, which is developing us into a race or people of weaklings and moral cowards. Ours is a democratic form of government, in which it is pre-supposed that the people rule—popular government; of the people, by the people and for the people. Without employing anonymity or the mask, we have the pre-requisite to express our views on men and measure, and we should be aware of the hazard, anonymous letters and surveillance of our personal identity. If the students of Houston College have just cause for complaint, let them register their complaint as men and women, void of anonymity and the mask, and they will discover that they will complain and will stand a better chance of remedying the evils and ills of which they complain in their anonymous communication. If Christian education can not remove the mask and anonymity, then we are of all men the most miserable, and we make a mockery of Christianity, seduce education and commit criminal uprising our hands. Let's disarm the mask and anonymity and show both our hands, face and colors. "MURDER WILL OUT." "MURDER WILL OUT." We have often heard the above expression, not only when some puzzling murder mystery was solved, but also when persons guilty of other misdeeds and infractions of the law were apprehended or detected in their vile and unbecoming acts. Several months ago complaints were registered with us that a white man was approaching colored girls and, under the guise and pretense of hiring them to wait on his sick wife, he would start towards his home, presumably, and continue his journey with the girls to the woods and there force them, at the point of a revolver, to submit to his bestial passion. One could girl charged that she was carried out early one morning and kept there until late in the afternoon, being criminially assumed by the fiery red-red time, and when she objected to the charge to be picked in her face and she was threatened with death of she did not submit to the attack. Whether the white man now under arrest was the guilty culprit or not (it is conceded, however, that he is the man and he has confessed to wholesale outrages upon girls and women), his arrest is concrete evidence that what is done in the darkness will soon be brought to light. His first response (without parallel in the criminal records of Tex-and the South; for scores of women and girls have been lured by him to his “assault den” and there forced to submit to criminal outrages, according to his own confession. In this case we see the theory disproved and argument refuted that black men are the chief and sole "big, burly brutes" and that white women are unsafe around and in the hands of black men, the men of their own race. But, jugging from Walker's confessed outrages and criminal assaults upon both coloured and white women, neither white nor coloured women and girls are safe and secure even around and in the hands of all white men. All of which to the stern and stubborn fact that do with the hostile passions and criminal propenices of men; for counsel men with white skins have committed the blackest of crimes, men with the blackest faces have demonstrated the whitest of hearts, noblest of character and biggest of souls. "Teeth than," Walker's multiplication upon women upon women, puts the lick forever on the time and over-worked accession that black men are arch friends and over-worked accession that black men are assaults white women. PERISCOPE (By William Pickens for A. N. P.) THE CRISIS BABIES Have you looked at those babies in the October Crisis? Did looking at those babies make you think? If those baby faces did not make you think, go and commit some mind specialist and try to find out what it is. Think of it! This whole infernal fight which we are fighting has an its chief, almost its only reason, these babies. They are the future, and the future is our only hope. Most of us of the new, are made all that can be made, and they are yet unlimited. Shall they be limited? Shall they be stalled? Shall they be harred? Those babies! Surely you think of this one you looked at: that no love, no sweeter flowers of human can be produced by any earth on these than those babies of the Crisis. Look again at page 251—look again at those faces and see if they do not tend to be the little philosophers and poets, queens, kings, cougues and God! And think: this horrible thing which we have to fight, is clutching blood and life. It would cut most of our wounds and torture and wrestle for 70 years Race prejudice means nothing for us on me; I have it from A to Izard But for them: For those little buddies it is black death. It is the real loot. If you have no choice of your own blood and adopt them—and fight for them These children are the top of our heart "And a little child shall lead them."

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 14 ISRAEL, A MISSIONARY NATION LESSON TEXT-Enod 19-1-6; Inc. 48-19-11; Inc. 45-20-22. GOLDEN TEXT—"To be unite is a kingdom of friends and soully men" PRIMARY TOPIC2—"God's Kindness to Children" JUNIOR TOPIC2—"Way Chee On- san" INTERMEDIATE AND BEKNOW TOPIC—The Mission of the Chosen People TOUGH PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Israel's Ministry of Oil. I�ner's Exalted Positions (Erd 19:1-6). The descendants of Abraham had now become a multitude and the time had come to ergustine them into a nation. In order to enable them to see what a wonderful privilege was their God displayed His majesty on Mount Sinai. In His message to them, He gave them a look backward and few ward. 1. A Review of Their Past History (v. 4). He reminds them of what He had done to the Egyptians when He brought them out of their crowd head age, and that His divine care over them had been as that of an eagle over him young. He had not merely brought them out of Egyptism, but unto Himself. God's salvation is not merely deliverance from sin, but a union with Himself. 2. Promises of Future Greatness (v. 5, 6). On condition of abdication to His voice, and faithfulness to their covenant obligations, He promised them a peculiar relationship to His (1) The Last of His three folds: (1) The Last of Future Greatness: About All People This is the treasure of Matt. 13:44. It this is recorded, the parable is quite clear. Failure to allow Scripture to interpret Scripture results in confusion. (2) A Kingdom of Prisons. "A Kingdom whose citizens are all priests归属于上帝, enjoying the right of access to Him." In the kingdom there is united ecclesiastical privilege and royal dignity, and apart for the work of God. Reading this, they would be impelled to the right to govern their own nation of their high calling. Separation from sin and a positive stand for the right would always be demanded. The kingdom would be largely the explanation of the world's distress. Had Israel showed the nation the way to go, they would not have Israel's Presiding Obligation (Im. 43-91). 1. God's Challenge to the Heathen. 2. The Assent of the wills to assume their wills to see if they were able to make known the future of Israel. They are either to make good their predictions or to acknowledge the truth as declared by God's prophecy, namely, that God in the 2. Israel, God’s Witness (v. 10). The nation had been clearly enclosed in darkness and preached His nightly hand to deliver, that they were competent witnesses. Not only the nation was a witness, but the whole world knew that God was preached many times witnessed and their predictions were so completely fulfilled that the whole world knew that God is a forgiving God is through the witnessing of His redeemed people. The only way the world can know that God is a forgiving God is through the witnessing of His redeemed people. How vulnerable has been Israel’s failure! III. Israel’s Message (in. 45-28) The message which Israel was to give was that God was the Savior of all the nations. Israel misunderstood Him as His God and denied Him to the heathen. Though they have failed and the world is in darkest times, God will go to the code of the earth to it, and the result will be the uninning of in the Golden Age of which all men are hailed. The Mideastern Nations Are Invited to Draw In. II. They Are Challenged to Ride the Wheel of the Earth in the Light of the Fart That God the Sovereign was the Only God. 3. They Are Given an Institution to look Un God. You need not be unbothered to look Un God, but look to the Savior. Simons today need only to look to the Lord. What a wonderful day when Israel shall be in power in the power of the Holy Spirit! A Praesent Almighty God, we thank Them for outward help outward, for the recurrence of their love, and for the generosity of their God. People in outward form of worship, and all the other side by side with them, on the side of our grits. And we pray Them that they would help us not to make new bindings out of our grits, and to devote ourselves by concurring outward participation in services with the rest of us. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Our Best. Even if faith is dim, and we hold on, the truth seems to have grown stronger. We are kind to be kind, to be brave rather than to be sullied, to be brave rather than to covetly, to do our best rather than sit down in gloomy lightness. Light will come to the one who is bruised in the darkness and punts on. Appreciating Music An our music is different from a music for sale.

In promoting and fostering this Negro Trade Week, it is not the intention of the organization to endeavor to commercialize prejudice nor appeal to class and race distinctions; but to educate and inform the public of the necessity of trading with and patronizing these of 410 MILAM WE PAY OVER $2,450.00 ANNUALLY TO OUR EM TO OUR We Will Appreciate Some G.

The Houston Colored Commercial Club will sponsor a "Trade With Negro Week," beginning Sunday, October 14, and ending Saturday night, October 20. The week, as planned, calls for addresses in the various colored churches on Sunday, October 14, by members of the local organization, with the pastors and ministers stressing the importance of our people patronizing the business and professional men of the city. Beginning Monday and ending Saturday night, every colored person in the city is asked to purchase some article from some colored business man, and thereby aid in building up and developing our own enterprises and business concerns. Local merchants and business men of color are asked to cooperate with the Colored Commercial Club in making this week a howling success, both by advertising their wares and putting on some special inducements to encourage and stimulate our people in buying something from these race business men during Negro Trade Week. The club is sponsoring this week with the express purpose and objective of creating our people up to the importance and necessity of trading in our own people whenever and wherever practicable and it is hoped that our people will join hands and help put over the week in grand style. Our business and professional people have been sleeping on their rights—virtually ally at the post—and this event is staged with a view of wakening them up and stimulating their businesses. In sponsoring and promoting this Negro Trade Week, the Houston Colored Commercial Club is endeavoring to put over a program that will help to elicit the whole unstinted support and co-operation of both seller and buver. The Informer hopes that we, as a people, will take due cognizance of this special week and all of us work together to make more solid and permanent our own business concerns and community needs. We are all aware that women are to make good and become real factors in the commercial life of the community, it must be accomplished, largely, through and by the support and patronage of our own people. If the business and professional men and women hard by hard have the necessary club and help to make that organization the potent factor that it should and must be in the community, it will not be long before they can see visible returns on their investments and sacrifices. Let's all contribute one hit to make Negro Trade Week a real success thereby practice the doctrine of self-help and self-improvability. BACK FROM F. I. S. MEET. Prof. U. S. B.

It goes right to the spot with a gentle, louse congestion, drawn out mucus and pain. Musterole is a clean, white elmtint made with aloe, lice congection, and has all the elements of the old-fashioned ammur-tardler without the blister. Nothing like Musterole for croupy children in the playground. It is handy for juvenile use. 35 and 65 cubs in jam and tubes; hospital size. BETTER THAN A MUSTARD PLASTER MUSTEROLE --- Genuine Liking for Game Is Most Necessary Quality. A genuine liking for football in a most necessary quality if a player wants to make good in college, may be of vows in the Chicago Eveint Post. True, some football players reach champions who are not crazy about ability or ability makes it possible. However, such players would be of far greater team if they really liked the sport. With the liking for the game goes the skill to call it more, others will use the trifle vulgar yet very appropriate word: college football rests upon the same broad foundation as does success in any other line of endurance. If you want to play for its own sake and is not possessed of the will power to perfect himself in the game, you must pacify to do so, he can no more expect to reap the rewards of a successful football career than he could expect to play in the league in which he might engage in a half-hearted manner. In other words, he must finish, to sum it up in answer to the question, "Why High school stars must make good in college, we may ask why they should have such ability." Aubrey Devina. other real stars lose their athletic ability before they get to college, either because they were burned out in high school by too much work, or because they are just naturally athletic in their teens and 'adults in their twenties. Still other high school stars fall in college because the diversified life of students allows them to scatter their attention and暮暮 upon so many and varied interests. Not the least of these varied interests are grids and "dots." As a result of this diversity, the students are equally neglected, and the eric white high school star becomes a mediocre man on the last string of the band. In brief, granting that the high school star has the potentialities requisite for him to make the variability, he must be able to play a two-part curriculum of studies and football, at least during the football season, if he would continue his high school football on through his college career. "Rabbit Ears" Cause of Murt by Sherwyn Magee Sherwyn Magee, who in his good old days said that the few bails he huffed which he thought should not have been errors were lost due to the fact that he was one case in particular. Sherwyn related. "A high sky was hit, which I stood under the edge of the bleachers to watch the game, my hands fixed just where it would fall—I might have shut my eyes and not but for some reason there was quiet in the bleachers. When the ball was two feet from the pocket I had formed a voice that would have penetrated a ten of steel. 'Toil don't kill you, poor son of a hummingbird.' And to this day I don't know why I muffed it. Nearly every catch an outfielder is called upon to make him gets the ball, but usually not usually a word that is mild—or if we do we are not conscious of it. "I repeat that every legitimate outfield error I made was caused by a remark of a bleacher that I did not. About the only thing left is to locate a moral, and it is: 'If you desire to become a champion in any sport, you must consoil so through you that you are not conscious of it.' Smart Coach Needed to Replace Stars at Iowa The smart coach is the one who has managed many stars by graduation. Iowa for instance loses many stars by graduation. Like Captain Locke, Shuttleworth, Rich and Kelsey, he is the best. Nicke, Medee, Kodedy, Kedosky and Thompson from the line. Those men were all rated as rather sweet playmen, but he is the best. Iowa is indeed formate. Swallow Does Good Work The swallow is a great destroyer of insects—particularly of mosquitoes.
