FREE 59 ELAINE "RIOTERS" FINAL EDITION VOL. V. THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON. Observing or celebrating Thanksgiving Day without the true spirit and void of the proper conception of its significance and import, is bare and is merely empty ceremony and outside show, and falls short of its destined end and objective. As a people, despite numerous causes for justifiable complaint regarding our civic and political status in America, notably Dixie, we, too, have much for which to be thankful; for we were not divine justice tempered with mercy, our lot might be considerably worse in this repeated democratic commonwealth. A few years ago we were slave (at least our forebears) and held in involuntary servitude and abject poverty; while today we are freedmen, if not freedmen! Emancipated less than six decades ago illiterate, penniless and virtually homeless, today we can read, write and cipher, too; our financial accumulations are almost incalculable; while beautiful and well-appointed homes, overlying and inspiring temples of worship, educational institutions, mercantile establishments and commercial enterprises dot every nook and corner of our chief habitation—the Southland. We are part and parcel of this country, and, while we may not be considered and regarded as citizens during the temporary reign of peace, yet during martial periods we are considered good, loyal, faithful and patriotic enough to give our all for the defense of our common country and for the safeguarding and perpetuation of its professed ideals and cherished institutions. Therefore, “let us praise the Lord, be glad and sing for joy.” Selah! REAL PROGRAM NEEDED. We are in receipt of the program for the forthcoming 28th annual session of the National Association of School Teachers, which will meet at Port Worth November 28-December 1, 1922. This organization is allied to the teaching in the colored schools of Texas, could do a real construction of a school would get down to business and comes to make the organization a more honor-passing body and social organization. The election of a different president annually and his inability to put over a reservation will return to his successor, makes it well impossible for this organization to put over a reservation. He holds both elections and then creates the office of executive secretary, who could be reservationist. He must retain the services of the one functioning in mid office. This would give the association a chance to elect a president annually and himself invisible to succeed himself. Anybody can hold meetings, but it usually can hold over a mere THE HOUSTON INFORMER PRIDE OF PYTHIANS, RACE AND CITY The above is a photographic reproduction of the beautiful and commo- duction of the beautiful and commo- struction we created by three marmor- Knights of Pythias lodges.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 "HOUSTON'S GOT 'EM" TEXAS, SATURDAY, NO ELAIR TWELVE WHITES STILL REMAIN U.S.V. HOSPITAL Montgomery, Ala.-According to a report from Director Hines to President Coolidge last Tuesday all of the personnel, except twelve whites, at the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, are Negroes. It is said that Director Hines submitted the report to the president following numerous protests from Negro organizations to him against maning the hospital, an institution for the care of Negro service men, with white personnel. According to persons close to Director Hines and aware of the many problems confronting him in carrying out the wishes of the late President Harding in manning the hospital in the face of various obstructions placed in his home by the staff. He was needed to be commended by Negroes over the country for the success he has made in this connection. The report shows that 12 white staff members are still as the force and that there are 248 Negroes employed there. Among the 12 whites are three commissioned officers, designated as the leaders of the institution. All of the specialists and physicians, except two, are Negroes, and all of the nurses are Negroes. While Director Hines did not explicitly state that he would further reduce the white personnel down to two—a director in chief and an assistant and the remainder of the personnel to be Negroes—it is expected he will carry out his original plan. Negro leaders in all parts of the country still hold the theory that the entire force at the hospital should be Negroes and appear not to be satisfied until such is actually put into effect. Just what further action President Johnson was to take in the matter has not yet been indicated and Negroes are anxiously awaiting his action in the matter.

I wish to inform all officers and members of the Queen Esther Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star and the King Solomon Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Texas, that I have asked the state of Texas to defend our rights and title against C. L. Mitchell and all his followers, from using the name and title of Queen Esther Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star of Texas, by granting me the original charter. Should the state of Texas grant me my request, Mitchell will have to submit his subordinate chapter charters or warrants. That ought to be a lesson to all his associates and followers, for it shows that he must be more muscular right to do any more Masonite work in the state of Texas. Please notice the next issue of this paper for final decision. Fraternally. (Signed) -N. N. BOOZIER, 33', G. M., 303 Lincoln Theatre Bldg., Houston, Texas. WILEY SWAMPED TEAM FROM SAMUEL HUSTON BY BIG SCORE OF 40-0 News emanating from Marshall states that the Wiley Wildcats ran roughshod over the football entry of Samuel Huston College of Austin, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away Wiley was winner by the lop-rided score of 40 to 0. It is said that the Sam Huston defense and offense, whatever little they may have had before the set-to, was never in evidence during the game and that Wiley's lightning and bewildering forward passes made the gridders from the state capital look like a bunch of high school boys in their initial game.

MacRae has commu New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has announced that the last of the colored farmers sentenced to death in connection with the riot of 1919, in Phillips County, Arkansas, would shortly be freed. Of the twelve men sentenced to death, six were released by order of the Arkansas Supreme Court. The other six had their sentences reversed by the U. S. Supreme Court to which the Advancement Association carried their cases after three years of litigation. In lieu of retrieving these men, the Arkansas authorities offered a compromise of conviction of second degree murder, with 12-year sentence, which leaves the men eligible for parole this year as they have already served one-third of their term. This compromise was accepted by the attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Governor Thomas C. MacRae has commuted the sentences. It is further announced by the N. A. mors, spread throughout the nation by C. P. that 59 of the 67 colored farmers sentenced to death, that Negroes were organized in prison and for a period of time had been sentenced to death. It is expected that the remaining eight men, should be remembered that although 12 Negroes were sentenced to death, 67 to long terms of imprisonment, and 67 to two white men was punished in connection with this announcement. In addition to the 12-year sentence, the first two were not one white man was punished in connection with this announcement. The 12-year sentence was not the whole of Negroes. The 12-year sentence was not the whole of Negroes. U.B.F. GRAND MASTER HERE ON BUSINESS; BACK DECEMBER Much interest centered in the visit of W. F. Biedron, Marshall, grand master of the W. F.

One of the officials of the Port Houston Navigation Commission, which body maintains jurisdiction and supervision over the local port and channel, has hastened to inform The Informer that the rank, willful and malicious discrimination and rotten and raw deal handed out to the colored citizens, when the Werra was docked in local waters, occurred at a privately owned wharf and that it did not transpire on the wharf under management and control of his body. Since The Informer's policy is to not knowingly and willfully engage in misrepresentations and erroneous statements, we are glad to exonerate Port Houston Navigation Commission from this exclusive and discriminatory act and hellish stunt; yet the members of this harbor board will do well to bear in mind that uncalled for, indiscreet and impolite actions will cause colored voters to look with askance, suspicion, indifference and apathy, skim to negative balloting, on all future bond issues for the further development, expansion and improvement of Port Houston. Despite this statement of this port official, which, upon further investigation, we find to be true, the fact remains that it was about the most atrocious, diabolical, damnable and despicable act of its species committed in many manors. If over at all, the commission and Saturday preceding the Sunday that colored citizens and tax payers were excluded from this privately owned wharf, all races were admitted, both on the wharf and ship, and many of the race people who inspected the vessel the foregoing days urged others of their race to see the giant vessel the following Sunday. Granting the argument that the dock was and is privately owned, who made it possible for the owners (Anderson-Clayton and Company) to have deep water facilities? Did only the members of the "favored" and "superior" race, who were granted permission to board the ship on that memorable date, have made it possible that made possible these aquatic advantages for this concern? Why all this latter day "separateness," when the propositions, both of war and most of peace, were consummated and put over by ALL THE PEOPLE? If colored citizens were decent enough to support and vote for bond issues and increased taxation (and that without representation, which the early founders considered and pronounced as tyranny) to furnish these privately owned industries a site on the shore and inspect the same vessel (bombarders to said industries and plants) from the wharf and a ship of a former foreign foe? Then, too, if colored citizens were such dangerous characters that it was deemed inadvisable and unwise to permit them even on the wharf that Sunday, why were they permitted to walk on the same wharf and inspect the same vessel of an erstwhile enemy man and inspect the preceding day? If colored citizens were in residence on the platform of a local corporation and on the ship of the former horrible Huns (mark you, the war is all over now and boundary line is forgotten) was such a stench in the nostrils of "white" society and the latter day colony of 100 percenters, why were colored men allowed to handle the vessel's cargo? What same, sensible, logical, reasonable and rational excuse and alibi can the owners of this wharf offer in defense of such autonomy, which is a high handed undemocratic civilized and un-Christian elitum, ultimatum, preclamation and act? Are we to infer that other industries and concerns on the Ship Channel, whose shipring advantages the colored citizens helped to provide for them, will pull off similar stunts and draw the color line when these little old vessels of foreign nations dock at their "premature owned" wharves? If all the citizens of Houston and the navigation district laid aside caste, creed, class and color, and, as a solid unit, worked for, supported, voted for and made possible deep water facilities for these and other industrial plants lining the local waterway (and even future industries), why promulgate an exclusive dictum and intensify rather than alleviate the racial aspect of the situation? Why all the colored people they are citizens when submitting hand, hands and trying to put over other big civil improvement programs, said, then after the issue is carried and certain improve- ments made, deny these sams supposed citizens the privilege of enjoying some of the fruits of their labors and sacrifices? Why should such a great big corporation resort to such little money method? Did the officials and stockholders of this corporation authorize and sanction this high-handed action upon the part of certain minions of the law, subordinates and crew of the Werrn? Are they (the corporation heads) concerned the least that an unwarranted, unprovoked and gratuitous insult and humiliation has been heaped upon fully one-fourth of the city's and district's population? Or, since the victims of this discrimination and proscription were all Negroes, Mexicans and dogs, are the cotton compress people perfectly willing to simply let it go at that? Do they assume the attitude that, since it is their private plant and wharf, particularly, they have the legal and moral right to do as they please at any and all times and under any and all circumstances? Is everything that is legal, expedient? If they take this position, they (and all who think as they do or who condone and approve their ban on and bar of colored citizens on said occasion) will do well to remember that a "cow will need her tail when fly time comes," and that that "nothing goes over the hill if what comes but what goes over the hill" In the meantime, colored citizens, pay your poll tax and get ready for the political battles and elections of 1924. Selah! OUR RACE PUT IN A VERY BAD LIGHT. The ease with which certain local members of the colored race can commit crimes and then get off easily, or, if indicted, get light sentences or be acquitted (where their victims are members of their own race), is doing our race and community an irreparable injury. The Informer does not condone crime among any people, nor does it endeavor to sit in judgment, but this paper knows that when men will wank out revolvers and fire indiscriminately and promiscuously on the streets, often maiming or slaying innocent bystanders and passersby, such characters should not be turned loose on society to run at large and become a veritable mad dog, raging miac or gun-man. The Informer believes in the majesty of the law and supremacy of right; but, when desperados, arch-criminals and social menaces and pests can commit almost any crime under high heat, against the streets of a city and possibly pounce upon and inject his poisoned folks to "fix it" for them, such procedure is calculated to have a reactionary effect upon both our race and the social fabric. What man is there among us who would knowingly and willingly permit a dog, infested with rabies, to run at large through the streets of a city and possibly pounce upon and inject his poisoned folks to "fix it" for them, such procedure is calculated to have a reactionary effect upon both our race and the social fabric. Where is the man who would tolerate a deadly reptile or ferocious animal to stalk abroad throughout the community and strike down innocent and helpless people, without this man putting forth some effort to put the snake or wild animal out of commission? How can the colored race become better, morally, when the race is colored and filled with such an extremely large colony of these dangerous characters and society menaces—persons who should be serving time in some penal institution or reformatory school! Conditions are rotten and alarming in this respect in Houston, and this city may not be any exception to the general Southern rule in this respect, especially when and where all the principals are of ebony hue or identified with the colored race. But, on the other hand, even in self-defense, in honor of the chief and the president, a black man happens to become involved in an encounter with a white man—even for defense of these noble and sacred principles—the colored brother has some hard sledding, indeed; especially if he evolves alive or the victor. Numerous dives and crime incubators are ubiquitous in this community and in these resorts hundreds of colored boys and young men are going pail mell to destruction, degradation, dismemberment, and inedible food; they have demonstrated the impotency and futility of such procedure), then the colored citizens who stand for law and order and supremacy of right (and their names are legion!) should let the world know that such deeds, dives and dives, even if winked at the camera, are not part of the institution that go to make and develop a law-abiding, respectful, decent, vigorous, robust, virile, stalwart and moral race; and that we frown upon and denounce, as well as deplore, these abortions of justice and favor the suppression and obliteration of all dives and resorts that serve as a rendezvous for the criminals and parasites, both actual and potential. If a man can kill a member of the own race or commit some other crime against or murder of his own group with immunity, it will not be long before he will cross the line. If he happens to be a colored man, our race is blamed for it; when, in reality, the social family, but particularly those in authority, are largely responsible and chiefly blameable for his criminal deeds and acts. They are colored crap-shooters and then permit them to "roll de bones" in the court room while the indictment is being prepared, simply says to these gamblers: "Hurry up, pay your fine, on back and gamble some more, and, thus while giving us a chance to get fat out of our cases, we will be making criminals out of you!" To turn loose a black murderer without the semblance of a trial or even preliminary hearing, it matters not who his victim was or why he was killed, but it matters not the crime or deed, simply tells that gunman to continue to take his pistol and burn up the first person that gets in his way. To permit colored cooks, maids, nurses and other female employees to live on their employers' premises in open adultery and concubination with male members of their race (and some times other races), simply encourages immorality and rascism among them, makes it also affords to criticize and mangle a gold-mingent opportunity to discredit, deceive and declaim our racial antingent. To underpay colored help and thereby contribute to their delinquency by forcing them to steal or prostitute themselves in a vain effort to make both ends meet, is planting a seed that will germinate into a plant that will be neither attractive nor possesses the moral grace; but will be a disgrace to our race, community and society. The colored race can not build up a strong and moral race, unless their white neighbors and friends lend them a helping hand; and, if they want to perform such signal service to their colored citizenry of this community, de cognizance will be taken of the conditions complained of in this editorial and they will make a real, concrete effort to change them. For after all is said and done, all the citizens of Houston constitute one mammoth family and whatever affects one for weal or wrue, will sooner or later affect all.

GRIP SLIPS New York.—The tuberculosis death rate among Negroes in the United States is rapidly decline, according to figures supplied to the National Association for the Advancement of Colony People's Fifth avenue, by the National Tobacco Association. In 1910 the death of the tuberculosis from tuberculosis among colored people, throughout the United States, was 449.5 per 100,000 population. In 1917, the last year for which the census figures were available, the rate had declined to 355.6. Figures compiled by the Metropolitan Public Service Company indicate a similar decline. The reasons for this decline are found by the National Tuberculosis Association is to lie in the rapid development of organized health work among colored people throughout the United States. Where, ten years ago, there was little of this activity, today, the West of Southern states. The reasons for the activities of other families, clinics or other facilities for colored patients. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have state sanatoria for tuberculosis. Training of colored public health nurses, as at the same time of the�thrd, has contributed to the prevention of the disease. It is further pointed out by the Tuberculosis Association that spread of better standards of living among colored people of the country, brought among better conditions from the other training, but the wages and housing, has influenced the declining death rate.

FARLEY (UPSTAIRS) 1009½ TEXAS AVENUE (UPSTAIRS) THOUSANDS SIGN PETITIONS ASKING SOLDIERS PARDON THOUSANDS SIGN PETITIONS ASKING SOLDIERS PARDON New York, Nov. 16.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced that 7264 signatures to the petitions asking for pardon for the 24th Infantrymen imprisoned in Leavenworth had already been turned in. Requests for blank petitions are arriving from all parts of the country, many of them are small to one. Houston Martyrs' Day was celebrated in colored churches throughout the country, and in a number of cities mass meetings were held in other places than churches. The N. A. A. C. P. hopes to present the petitions to President Coolidge early in December. Signatures should therefore be in the hands of the N. A. A. C. P. at 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, not later than December 1. One of the successful efforts to obtain signatures was made in Chicago, where a large sign callings attention to the petitions as displayed at the 8th Beginning Remors. Morris saw secretary of the Chicago branch, N. A. A. C. P., had 1000 petition blanks printed and reported that several thousand names had been obtained there. In Jersey City, the N. A. A. C. P. branch is holding a baby contest for the Houston Martyrs' Defense fund. Each vote for the winner costs 5 cents. In announcing the remarkable results thus far obtained in the campaign were the colored soldiers, the N. A. A. C. P. paid especial tribute to the colored newspapers.

Why Not Have Beautiful Hair? Use St. Clair Mair Preparations and Sea How Quickly Improvements Begin. Attractive women everywhere depend upon the St. Clair preservations, so why not you? Nature lavishes upon the young her beauties of hair, yet how few strives to retain it? Beauty of the bad can be retained or maintained with St. Clair preparations. Thousands can testify to this fact. It is no experiment. The results have been proven. Neglect is the great destroyer. First comes dandruff, later falling hair, and then unrightiness ever increasing. The pure ingredients contained in the St. Clair preparation insure antleptic and medicinal value necessary to a healthy scalp and luxuriant hair. If you desire soft, lestrow, beautiful hair and lots of it—no dandruff, no falling hair and no more itching scalp—use the St. Clair preparations for the hair and scalp. If eventually—why not? Agents to sell the preparations, fifty per cent commission. Courss taught personally or through small. Mail orders promptly filled. One trial treatment $1.50.

The cat turned on her and mild, indignantly: "Now, what are you stamping around here for?" CONSTANT CARE—N Human history and experience have many persons believe that a head of and beautiful hair, a healthy scalp, smooth complexion come from her feet. Constant care and the few preparations of proven merit are the Why Does it? The head of the office was in a thoroughly bad temper and, moreover, could only read with difficulty the figure the clerk put before him. "Judge," he said, "could you like a 7?" The figure is a 7, mr. the clerk. "Then," reared the old man, "it looks like a 9?" Yorkshire Post. Courting Their Elsequence. First Attenuation—Your honor, unfortunately.
