'Sir, let's keep the record straight! Selah! POLITICAL POTPOURRI. With President Coolidge apparently in a receptive attitude for the republican presidential nomination next year; with Senator Hiram Johnson hurling his Western chapeau into the presidential ring on the G.O.P. ticket; with McAdoo and Senator Underwood running a neck-to-neck marathon for the presidential nomination on the democratic ticket; with Henry Ford looming up as a formidable candidate, and, like Banquo's ghost, apparently cannot be downed at this early stage of the political game; with plans for the formation of a strong third party, with its medley of planks and multiplicity of platforms; with lesser lights of both major parties hoping to get a chance to demonstrate their brilliance and shine in the White House; with dark horses being groomed in the political stables for a dash after the presidential sweepstakes—yes, we have some political potpourri! Congress will convene in a few days and there will be considerable jockeying and playing for points of vantage by our greatest legislative body, with the 1924 election as their chief concern and constant worry. Politicians, spell-blinders, windjammer, ward heels and dopenters are awaiting the president's message to the forthcoming congress, and then we shall be on the political fireworks and pyrotechnic displays. Political expediency has supplanted civic duty, both in the legislature of the several states and the congress of the United States, and thus the mass THE HOUSTON INFORMER Pythians Lay Cornerstone With Fitting Ceremonies; Willis Took Leading Role Grand Lodge Officers, Led By Grand Chancellor Willis of Waco, Officiated at Cornerstone Laying of Fifth Ward Hall—Dallas Dokeys and Pythian Regimental Band Participated in the Ceremonies—Cold Weather Failed to Dampen Ardor and Chill Enthusiasm of the "Brave Boys"—Fair Calantheans Interested Spectators—Monster Crowd Witnessed Event—Red Letter Day for Colored Pythians—Imposing Structure, Built by Three Local Lodges, Pride of Pythians, Race and Community—Carter Master of Ceremonies—Kinchison, Smith, Brackins, Wells and Galaxy of Fraternal Lumaries Here. Thanksgiving Day was more than an auspicious occasion for the colored Knights of Pythias of Houston and South Texas—it was an epocal event in the history of the order and a red letter day for three Houston lodges, as well as brother and sister lodges, who conceived the idea of a creditable building here and then labored untrifling and unceasing for the realization and culmination of their vision. For not only did local Knights and fair Calantheans wade through mud, water and slush to make the cornerstone laying ceremonies a memorable event, but the occasion was griced with a galaxy of grand lodge officers, headed by that matchless, resourceful and commanding chancellor, Honorable W. S. Willis of Waco, the pride of all Pythians. Never has any similar occasion been, numbers that brought down the house, witnessed in this, city among them. This band is truly a wonderful organ—brave boys, and if the vast audienceization and bids fair to win many present lacked in anything, it surely in the musical realm. Their was not void of enthusiasm, nor did they have a chance to be entertained at what they India, and the popular bit, "Barney Google," received veracious applause. Seated on the platform were several grand lodge officers and other fraternal lights, among whom were I. C. Walker, J. E. Smith, J. E. Smith, D. A. Grand keeper of records and seal; C. A.

When he had been introduced to the audience by C. P. Richardson, Grand Chancellor Willie, who was all dolled up in a brand, spanking new white flannel uniform, representing his position as commander-in-chief of the uniform rank, said: "I am so dressed up this afternoon that I can hardly get off. But let me tell you in the offstart something about our great and growing order. Those who gave our young men a chance during the late world war to learn military science and tactics, as soon as the war was over and our boys mustered out of service, saw to it that these same soldiers in the cause for human liberty and worldwide democracy were denied all chances to continue their military career, or that others of our race should learn these things. Until those in authority provide such training for our young men, it is the duty of fraternal organizations, such as the Pythans, to give these young men a chance. The civilized world now knows what our black boys did over there, but with the war over there are many in this country who wish that these ebony-hued fighters had never had military training and a martial record.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DEC. 1, 1923. AGITATION FOR SOLDIERS' PARDON The Informer has not heretofore taken any stock, either pro or con, in the agitation and to secure the pardon or release of the members of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, who are now serving sentences in the federal prison at Leavenworth for the part they played in the "Houston riot" of 1917. But this paper can not permit the statement to go unchallenged that these black soldiers were never given an insult by any member of the white race while encamped in this city. This paper admits that some of these soldiers, while at the local camp, did not conduct themselves as defenders of their country, neither does this paper justify their actions in killing and maiming the citizens of this community; for two wagers never did make a right and the doctrine that might make right, while it may obtain and prevail for a season, is a fallacy and predicated upon a false hypothesis. But the fact remains that, while the civilians generally treat these black soldiers with utmost courtesy and many of them went out on their own to make their stay in this community a plight, the police officers pursued a different policy and here is the source of the regrettable incident that occurred here during that August evening of 1917. The first mistake the military authorities made was to disarm all their colored military police, which disarmament was in itself a standing invitation for trouble hunters and race-haters to take advantage of their disarmed condition and thus pick to a fuss, not only with the colored troopers during their absence from camp, but to even impose upon said military police of color. The error on the part of our community was to permit those beer joints and saloons to operate so long in colored residential districts, for they were always a prolific source of trouble between the two races; often serving as the rendezvous and headquarters of the vicious, criminal and trouble-making members of both races. Another mistake the city made was to maintain men on its police department whose conception of their duty as peace officers was to curse, beat, shoot or kill every colored person that they sought to arrest or who dared say ye or nay to these minions (7) of the law! These police and constabulary officers had pursued such a policy with and on colored citizens so long with impunity and immunity that they essayed and did execute it on a few soldiers of this infantry and here is where "unadulterated hell" broke loose. Every truthful person knows that the beating up and shooting at one of the colored sergeants, who demonstrated with a local police officer for the brutal and barbaric manner in which he (the white officer) was treating a colored woman, was really the straw of the case. This incident transpired in the San Felipe section, which beat this black military police was covering on that afternoon. Two local police officers were taking advantage of a defenseless and helpless colored woman and were placing her under arrest attired only in her house garments—she was virtually made and even not properly dressed to come out on her front porch. When this colored military police saw what was happening, it stated that he suggested to the officers that they permit the woman to dress properly and becoming before arresting her and carrying her to the police station. The remarks from the colored soldier only seemed to aggrate and intensify the situation, for the officers immediately pounced upon him with their pistols, employing vile oaths, according to eye witnesses, and when the race military police beat a hasty retreat from his assaults, several shots were fired at the fleeing soldier. He sought refuge under a nearby house and the officers followed him, beat him mercilessly and brutally and then plopped him under arrest. News of this outrage, which occurred in the early afternoon of August 23, 1917, soon reached the camp, where one battalion of the 24th United States Infantry was quartered, but instead of the information that the sergeant, one of the most highly respected and dearly beloved men of the regiment, had been beaten and THE HOUSTON INFORMATION, SATURDAY, NO. 1, 1923 shot at, the informants told the other soldiers that their soldier brother had been killed. This attack and news inflamed the colored troopers and it was whispered about the city that the "24th is going to shoot up the town tonight." The editor of The Informer, then serving with another local publication and covering the news of the camp each week for said paper (knowing the officers and several soldiers personally), immediately conversed with the commanding officer over the telephone and inquired of this officer (then a major, if he thought he could handle the situation that night. The white officer in command of the battalion assured us that he could handle the situation all right and that Houstonians need have no fear of an armed uprising and attack. Later in the afternoon we learned from reliable sources that the colored troopers were in a bad frame of mind and that many of them were openly talking of retaliation and repraisal; but that the commissioned (white) and non-commissioned (colored) officers were confident that they could quell the belligerents among the battalion. Later, that same evening, some one yelled that a mob of whites was en route to the camp, it is alleged, and at this juncture several of the soldiers rushed the store or supply house and forcibly commandeered or seized ammunition, slaying one of their own men in the raid, and then started that march towards the city, with the police station as their objective. It seems that this same military police, who had been attacked and shot at by city police officers in the afternoon, had been arrested and incarcerated in the local police station, instead of being turned over to the military authorities, and this only strengthened their belief in the rumor that he had been bain by the city police officers. But instead of making their attack on the police station, these mutinous black troopers fired at every white face that they encountered and when they had finally been quelled, several were dead and a larger number wounded and mained, some for life. Local white citizens organized a committee of the leading members of their race and co-operated with the military authorities to apprehend all the soldiers who participated in the raid on the city and citizens. These soldiers were captured and turned over to the military and their trials were held before a regular army court martial; yet the race woman, whose maltreatment at the hands of city police officers precipitated the clash between the soldiers and police officers, has never appeared before any body investigating the circumstances and incidents leading up to the outbreak, as far as we have been able to ascertain. The Informer stands for law and order, whether by soldiers or civilians, and this paper is firm in its belief that every person that violates the law, especially willfully, maliciously and with malice aforethought, should pay the penalty for the law's infraction—whether he be soldier, police officer or public citizen. But if the criminal courts of the land can take into consideration extenuating and mitigating circumstances when dealing with these brought before the bar for trial, and, if citizens are within their rights to petition the governors and pardon boards of the several states, they are likely to be subject to similar statutes, statutes and reformatories for certain crimes, why demise, vilify and excoriate a body of American citizens who are merely pursuing a similar course in this cause? Penal institutions and prisons (particularly such federal institutions) are primarily designed and operated to reform criminals and help them to get back on their feet as good citizens. The petition for the pardon of these colored soldiers nor the agitation against their release should not be based upon color, but upon the merits of the crime. Infirmity does not hold any brief for these soldier-prisoners so, yet this paper knows that, in many instances, society is largely responsible and blameable for the misdeeds and crimes of men, women and children; for it (society) tolerates, sanctions, condones and passively encourages numerous practices and depredations that later prove to be or act as a boomerang. But whether the president pardons the 24th Infantrymen or not, let both sides tell the truth, the principle ample and not prejudice the pardon of the person who has the power and opponents of this agitation and movement for these black troopers' release from federal prison. ANOTHER SUGGESTION BEARS FRUIT. When the colored colleges of Texas first organized their athletic conference, white officials were much in evidence at the contests waged between the colored college elevers and base ball clubs of the star. Editor of The Informer, himself interested in college athletics and an alumnus of one of the institutions of learning comprising the conference, attended some of these games and was interested once in the promotion end; but, he soon discovered that these schools were pursuing the wrong course by employing of first-class others to race. Consequently, The Informer took the position, editorially, that members of our race should officiate at these games and that there were plenty of race men in Texas competent to handle the biggest and most stubbornly fought gridiron and diamond battles between these colored teams. See also the connected with college athletics in the state commended The Informer in its contention, and thus last year coloured officials were pressed into service in practically all of the conference games. There were some complaints at their decisions and rulings, as naturally arise even when men of other races officiate; but if so, they are ever more far away from high-successful and gratifyingly coming to all concerned, for recent reports from such a heretic pig-skin contest as the Bishop-Wiley game state that colored officials handled the game satisfactorily to players and spectators. The school of the school of the school of the school of its suggestions has borne fruit and because it refutes the over-worked charge that race men were incapable and incompetent to serve as arbiters in such athletic contests. The mental and psychological effect of colored officials at such games is too obvious to warrant any further elicitation or discrimination. Racially speaking, The Informer always strives to be consistent, endeavoring to contend at all times that our race must sell efficiency and competency rather than color and racial connection. Men may reasonably oppose us on the ground of color, but it is reasonable to handle the situation fairly by opposing us on the grounds of efficiency and ability to deliver the goods. The Informer wishes to commend the conference officials and college heads for their actions in this respect, and at the same time desires to compliment those colored officials for the able and orderly manner in which they have handled the athletic contexts. less than 6,000 male members; today we have at 25,000 financial members.

Taken by and large, the occasion was a distinct success and both grand lodge and other and local leaders deserve the pale for the solidly progress put over in this city on Turkey Day.

C.—National attention is now focused on two big events of an early date: the opening of congress and the meeting of the republican national committee, December 16th. Both events bring gatherers with unusual significance politically for colored America. Naturally, throughout the country, all will be interested in knowing just how the president will deal with the domestic delegations: he has listened attentively, and has made cordial communication with them, and become one of national scope, and the big question now is: will he say something about it in his message. There is every likelihood that the president will have something to say. Senator McCormick, in an open letter, has again called for the president to take action against the haiti of Haiti. He will doubtless have something to say on this important subject; it has already been announced from the White House, through the secretary to the president, C. Easman Shep, that the administration will back an anti-lynching measure. It has been said that Congressman Downing of representation in the Dearborn Missouri will have his management next透透. This promises to be at least getting away from this delicate subject with which to deal with it.

WILEY WALLOPED BISHOP TIGERS IN GRUELLING GAME Marshall, Texas.—Wiley College defeated her ancient rival, Bishop College, here last week by the score of 7-6. It was one of the greatest games ever played in Texas and was witnessed by over three thousand enthusiastic fans. The game itself was nerve-racking, but in spite of the closeness of the score and the high spirit existing, it was the clearest and hardest fought game ever played between Bishop and Wiley. The first quarter found Bishop at her best, as she completely outplayed Wiley and only Orange's great punting kept the Tigers away from the Wiley goal. King, Jermany and B. Brownrigz ripped great holes in the Wildcat line in middlefield, but the punch was lacking when near the goal. The second quarter still found the Wildcats on the service, trying to stop the ثم- The first quarter of the Elsevier, however, the error weight of the Bishop line told on the right Wiley forwards and just before the end of the first half Jermany went around left end for five yards and a touchdown. The try for point was lost, and consequently the game. Wiley started the third period with a rush, Orange passing to Gill-spice for 30 yards shortly after the kick-off, and a few plays later Orange again passed to Hines behind Bishop's goal. The third quarter of the Long-dropfield of the additional point. Orange dropped the other three of the game was a punting duel with Wiley having a decided advantage. Jennary, Kiez, Posey and Phillips played brilliantly for Bishop, who has been a standout out prominently for the Wildcats. The above made name seen on the field, and we went on the field played hard and fought to the last half. The back hit in the running for the conference championship, as every team in the conference was on the field in this game was so near perfect that not a single decision was questioned. The old belief that the Bishop-Willis spirit cannot be able to play. The two schools are nearer together now than at any other time. The boards of athletic clubs at Bishop and Wille are kept, these institutions can look forward to one of the best classics played each year in Texas. B. Wiley B. Hare W. Brown R. E. Wilson R.

The recent interview from OTPOURRI BPP. PAUL QUINN FALLS BEFORE P.V. ATTACK IN HARD CONTEST Waco, Texas. Prairie View defeated Paul Quinn, last year's conference champions, in a hard-fought game by a score of 12 as 7 here last week. The game was overfaced by the kidney on her 25-year line, and on back to her 49-year line. Then bringing into going her mighty off-neckle plays she smashed the ball to Paul Quinn's 30-yard line, before being held for down. Prairie View was forced to be at the end of the final. Paul Quinn was 7-yard line. When a delfted pack Manning, left ball for Paul Quinn, broke through Prairie View line for a 25-yard run. Prairie View line held and Paul Quinn was seized to kick. Prairie View rushed the ball from here and was not to be seen. Paul Quinn was 29-yard line where Owens druggicked it over for the first score of the game. In the second quarter, with the score 2 to 4, Paul Quinn executed a beautiful forward pins. Slipped to Sandews, which netted 42.7 m and a touch of 10.7 m. Paul Quinn was then on the final goal, the half ending 7 to 5. At the beginning of the second half Prairie View came back with a vengeance and it could easily be seen that it was only a matter of time before they were on the end of the final game. Near the end of this quarter, Singles, star guard for Prairie View, picked up a female and raced 15 yards, placing the ball on Paul Quinn's ten-yard line. At this point, Cueck Hueless sent in Walker to take Pennion's place. The game end. A forward pins. Exult to Walker, secured the more for Prairie View. The last quarter Prairie View again took the ball and carried it to Paul Quinn's 29-yard line. From here Owens made a second displக்க of the game. The final whistle blew with Prairie View on Paul Quinn's 29-yard line. Throughes and Manning plagued well for Paul Quinn while O'Sell, Franks, Ewell and Polland starred for Prairie View.

V. 10 TO 6 In a fast, snappy and stubbornly fought gridiron contest, Wiley College football eleven defeated Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College's gridders Turkey Day, 10 to 6, walloping the state collegians on the P.V. campus. This victory for the Wildcats, who have lost only one game this season, puts them a notch nearer the conference championship. The game was witnessed by a record-breaking crowd, hundreds of Houstonians attending the game. Wiley completely outplayed P.V. and showed that Coach Long has been on the job at the Marshall institution of learning. (Full details of game next issue.) As said (from the end of 2021) W.E. Willeman G. McAdoo, an avowed candidate for president, in which he spoke cordially of colored citizens, has caused many to sit up and take notice. Mr. McAdoo knows that colored citizens will be of no avail in the nomination, but once nominated, he plans to appeal for their support in the states where the voting is good. Republicans are "hep" to this bit of strategy, and will, without doubt, meet the issue. Politics for 1924 will be a man's job, will no doubt be played in a man's play, and will probably be when one is formed. Leaders of both parties are fully awakened to the fact that the party is in "big league" fashion. The republicseventeenth have not only ways to vote, but also to vote, but the whole blade and practice of the party lost a goodly hold on the pulp and a part of the blade in many big battles. The party is beautiful awakening, and will proceed to "kill the fatted call."

The exhibition more interest in a content of this nature and a friendly rivalry had spurted the campaign, and their supporters. The ballot had been cast, and the last penny counted, little Miss Portsmouth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren, the wife of the raised SIS, was declared the winner, and pronounced the most popular city of the city. Little Honore E. M. Warren came under the raise a close second, having raised $250 and the Harrison, Rev. and Mrs. Harrison, won the third prize; others came on the home stretch trailing in. The magnificent total of $1191.93 and once more Miss V. B. Miller has demonstrated her ability as one who does thing, not dream them all day. Gregg St. Presbyterian. Camer Gregg and Stonewall-Rev. J.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) © 1933, Western Newsletters, Inc. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 2 THE POWER OF THE EARLY CHURCH EBSOM TEXT TEXT Acts 31:14; 8:45 GOLDEN TEXT Acts 31:14; 8:45 upon the Lord of the lord upon the Lord of the lord PRIMARY TOPIC — Peter Telling About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Three Thousand Converted in One Day. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-A Brave Breastress and a Great TOUGH PEOPLE AND ADULT TODIP—The Source of Missionary Power. The power of the early church was the Holy Spirit. This same spirit has been a great source of ages. The watchword of God's mightiest men throughout the centuries has been, "Not by might nor by power but by grace." (Zeach. 4:5). The mightiest forces in the world are spiritual. The Coming of the Spirit (Acta 2:14. 1 Time of (v. 1). It was on the day of Pentecost. "Day of Pentecost" (Lew. 22:15:10). It was observed by presenting the bread (22:17:17). Wheat baked were baked with leaven, while leaven was excluded from the Passion. It was that the Passion feast replied Christ's sacrifice, while Pentecost represented the church, composed of Jews and Christians. No sad in Him while the men and women composing the church have sin in them. The sense of Pentecost in a figurative sense still continues, for the body of Christ is not yet complete. Pentecost was a most fitting time for the church to begin. 2. Upon Whom the Spirit Came (v. 1; cf. 1:18-15). 3. and others to the number of 120. The coming of the Spirit was not merely for the twelve but for the fifteen. The coming of the Spirit, Christ. They were in 'one place, with one accord' waiting for the fulfillment of Father's promise (Luke 1:16). 4. The coming of the Spirit with eyes fixed upon Christ in expectation of the fulfillment of his promises, if the church would be with 'one accord in one place wonderful blessings'. 5. 1. The Marks of the Spirit (v. 2:4). These marks were external and internal. 6. 1. External. 1. (The Sound of a Mighty Wind. There was no wind—only the sound of the Holy Spirit. Life-giving influence of the Holy Spirit. 2. Tongues of Flame. Each of the Tongues of Flame. The tongues show the practical purpose of the Spirit's gift, and the fire that makes the dress and making fit witness for Him. 3. Tongues in Foreign Tongues. For these humble Gileeans to thus speak caused great amazement. This is seen in the transformation wrought in the disciples. They have Peter, who a little white before was cowering before a Jewish mall, now with lion skin holdens stood before the apostle, and later before the chief rulers of the city and declared that they had murdered their King. They were powering Power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-42). Many people were convicted of their sins—about three thousand repented and confessed. This revival was real because: 1. They continued steadfast in their sins—did not grow cold or run after every fever along. This is the real test of conversion. 2. They continued in fellowship with the apostles. The sweet way to grow is to keep in fellowship with Christians. Death is sure to follow the apostles in the fellowship of the brethren in Christ. 3. In using the means of grace, "In the breaking of bread" God has inscribed those who are genuinely converted will avail themselves of their use. 4. In prayer the apostolic church cannot live a life cannot be lived without prayer. The influence of a good dead is great upon the world, but the reflex influence upon the door is a priceless thing. -Gospel Banner. False Propheta. False prophets and teachers have ever been speakers of pleasing words and have been leaders of their times. Thus only can they hope to secure popularity, case, and the other things they are after. * Insufficient for That Day. I have been driven many times to go to the church, but that I had nowhere to go.

By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most effective. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you.
