SCHO MALONES BACK IN SAINT LOUIS AFTER BIG TRIP HOUSTON PHYSICIANS ARE HIGHLY PRAISED The colored citizens of Houston are their physicians, because I loved them a whole to be the very best that can be found in any race. I used the latest and best medical treatment, but are trained in the medical operations at the Union Hospital with great skill, using the latest methods. The head nurse at Union Hospital, the head nurse at Union Hospital, is short, qualified, experienced, and physically race; therefore, I consider myself fortunate to be practicing medicine and physicians represent such an able profession to remove of disease toonitis, and diseased female conditions that can't be treated by physicians, my practice to diseases of women and chronic diseases (blood, etc.).

BISHOP TO PLAY PAUL QUINN ON DEC. 25 AT WACO The last game of the 1923 football season will be reeled off at Waco, Texas on Monday, June 14, at a Waco, Texas day) when Bishop College "Tigers" of Marshall will test their mettle against the Paul Quinn College of Barberville. These teams were originally scheduled to meet at Marshall last Friday, but their招签 emerged from their Day Trikes game with injuries and incapacitability to stage the game as scheduled and thus Bishop connected for the final game of the Texas Day. And this brings up the contention that some of the Marshall last Friday off is tough stuff, particularly Texas College and Samuel Huston College, the two opposing teams, and Thanksgiving. At least, reports have revealed. The Informer that the Tyler U. and Eckert schools are at "Bonging" their opponents. Bishop and Paul Quinn clashed in a postseason game this year and pulled contented by a monster crowd of supporters and accused the record-breaking crowd is expected at Waco on this occasion, and since there will be all railroads of Texas, all "roads will lead to Waco." THE HOUSTON INFORMER DEPUTY POLL TAX COLLECTOR JAMES B. GRIGSBY, president of the American Mutual Benefit Association, 74½ Prairie avenue, who has again been appointed deputy poll tax payer, their poll tax, or secure their exemption certificates from their own receipts and exemption certificates can be secured by colored citizens at the American Mutual office every day in the week from now until midnight of January 21, 1894. For further information on this matter, call Mr. Grigsby at Negro Political Leaders Achieve Notable Victory Just before going to press The Informer received the following telegram from the Associated Negro Press: Washington, D. C.—Sub-committee of republican national committee voted today, after two days' consideration, to adopt resolution restoring Southern representation. Colored political leaders thronged committee room. Discussions in favor of the resolution, which was presented by the committee led by Henry Lincoln Johnson, national committee from Georgia; Dr. George Cannon of New Jersey; Hon. Perry W. Howard, assistant United States attorney-general, Washington, D. C.; Hon. Roscoe Simmons, Kentucky-Hilinois; Hon. Redmond of Mississippi. Committee member, former US Representative Howell of Nebraska; Borsum of New Mexico, against. 1923, Dec. 12, PM 2:17. The readers of this paper will bear in mind that the 1920 national-republican convention, held in Chicago, passed a resolution reducing the representation of Southern states in said body, hoping thereby to virtually eliminate the colored brother from the councils of the party, both in the several states and nation. The committee began a party's leaders were advised by the colored brothers not to pull off such a stunt and when the committee began its present session at Washington, these men carried the fight to Philippi and have apparently won a victory for their race and section. This action means that the Southern states will have practically the same number of delegates at the 1924 republican national convention, and the same number of contests (with perhaps the same number of contests from Dixie Commonwealth). Those of our people who do not care to go to the court house and qualify CALIFORNIA VISITOR. Wesley C. Peales, publicist and politician of San Francisco and ardent supporter of Senator Hiram Johnson, who was a Republican party in 1924, was here Tuesday and chatted at length on Californian capabilities. He states that the Johnson forces are in the fight for blood and are determined to land their man on the ground.

McGowan Avenue Scene Of Near Fatal Accident Not only did the cloudburst of Monday dledge and flood the city, but it had almost fatal results on McGowen Avenue in Third Ward, when a little colored boy, en route home from the Frederick school, was struck by a car. The quick and able efforts of a race man, who saw the youth about to fall a victim to the whirling waters, saved the life of this youngster. This black hero, who left the scene before his name could be rushed to the boy's rescue and saved him from a watery crash. Water in the vicinity of this near-fatal accident formed an expansive lake, as is generally the case in that section of the city when an ordinary rain falls, and residents of that section had to employ wagons and other vehicular modes of transportation to the city. The citizens were compelled to spend the night away from their home, the heavy precipitation having caught them at work or downtown and they were unable to navigate the raging and swollen streams in the city. While it is generally agreed that the rain of Monday was a most unusual one and that it would have taxed the capacity of a city with far better drainage system than Houston, yet something should be done by the city fathers to relieve the deplorable and disgusting conditions existing and obtaining in sections of the city where the rain was so heavy, following such deluges, or operate boat lines to transport these colored youths, as well as female teachers, to safe landings. The judges were Carl Sandburg, Alice Corbin and my Bryan. Cullen received one vote, while the other two chose Maurice Leesman's "in the middle." The two Leesman represented the University of Chicago. The topic was "The Island of the Brown Girl." The poem is 206 lines in length, and deals with the woes of one who permitted gold to outflow from the heart of the heart. It points this moral. Ol. lovers, never bartel love. For gold or fertile lands. For love is meat and love is drink. Love is love and love is drink. And love is shelter from the rain. And sowing stormy sakes; When it rains he blows in his arm. And it rill he blows in his church. Cullen is the son of the Rev. Fredrick A. Cullen of 234 West 131st Street and 234 West 131st Street and church. He is 20 years old and a student in the junior class of the College Prize Winner in High School. Many of his contributions have been written in various languages. His writing first entered the public when he was a student at De Witt Clinton University, the top position offered by the Federal Reserve. Women's Clubs.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN RHOULD RECEIVE LESS. —ROOBEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 1923. CALVIN COOLIDE COMES 'CROSS. CALVIN COOLIDE COMES 'CROSS. In delivering his maiden message to the congress of the United States last week, President Calvin Coolidge not only put it up to the solos to pass some remedial and necessary legislation for the good of the common country, but he also fired his first shot in the battle for the republican presidential nomination for 1924. Without mincing words or evading certain issues, the chief executive hit straight from the shoulder, and, while some may differ with him on some of his propositions and recommendations, all fair and unbiased citizens, irrespective of party lines, must admit that he did not seek the line of least resistance in the matters he discussed. Unlike some of our American politicians and office-seekers, President Coolidge did not try to run with the hound and the hare, but elected to hew to the law and let the chips fall where they were. This state paper may not rank with others in some respects, but it is a clear, concise and straight-forward presentation of the president's viewpoints on the main issues confronting the citizens of this republic. The colored citizens of America (and many of other races) were anxious to see what the president was going to say about the status of the black race in this country; what recommendations he was going to make regarding legislation to safeguard the rights and privileges of these peoples; what his attitude would be on the issue of the war and the strict enforcement and rigid observance of all the constitutional amendments. When the president stated in his message that the 12,000,000 colored citizens had "rights under our constitution just as sacred as those of any other citizen," he uttered a truth such as has never fallen from the lips of any other occupant of the United States. The president proclaimed that "the Negro has no rights that the other races are bound to respect," and accord him. In assuming an attitude that "Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of murder," he told us that "the court of Judge Lynch and to bring mobocracy within the purview and jurisdiction of the federal government. While favorable to some action to eradicate lynch law from the confines of our republic, the Informer seriously doubts if any administration should take action, especially in the municipal failure to enforce the present basic laws of the land vouchsafing and guaranteeing to all American citizens the same rights, privileges and warranties. As long as there is a double standard of citizenship in this country—one for white citizens and another for colored people—this country has plagued, plagued and disgraced with both legalized and illegal lynch law. As long as certain states can pass and enforce class legislation and place laws on the statute books in direct contravention to our national constitution and its amendments, just so long will the state legislature continue to lynch and anarchy constitute the chief American pastime. If the national government cannot enforce the present laws on the statute book, what can we hope in passing additional laws minus the teeth, together with the unwillingness of the public officials to employ the machinery of the government in their endeavors. But it does appear to this paper that, if congress can employ an army of employees and literally appropriate barrels of money to enforce the Volstead act (trying to regulate people's appetites to eat meat) to force the government to rent and guarantee to every American citizen certain inalienable and constitutional rights! As to the president's recommendation of a commission on interracial co-operation, which already obtains in various sections of the Constitution, it is clear that the North, affected by the migration of our people, are given a plan whereby they can "formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence," as well as other sections of the country that have not made an earnest and sincere effort to bring about and good relations with the people of North America. As to national training, the president is several years behind the late Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute fame, years ago realized that the trained hand must accompany the trained mind and heart, if we would have a symmetrically developed race and nation. For prepared men and women, experts and specialists in their line; for the day of the "Jack-at-all-trades" has about become obsolete. The world careds little today about what one knows, but it is deeply concerned in what one does for the common good of all. It is deeply concerned in what one does for the common good of all. It is deeply concerned in what one does for the common good of all. Washington, D. C.; and it is hoped that the congressional appropriations for this great institution of learning will be made larger and more handsome as the years go by. Washington, D. C.; and it is hoped that the chief executive certainly struck a popular chord; at tax payers, both direct and indirect, are becoming weary at the mounting propensities of taxes for this and taxes for that, and about all they get in return for same is a tax receipt. In opposing a bonus to soldiers as such, the president was merely in line and unison with the leading economists and businessmen of the nation, who insist that the president grave financial difficulties and place too heavy a burden and responsibility upon the national government at this time. Taken by and large, President Coolidge has given the country something to think and talk about and the congress a basis upon which to act, if the solons are so disposed, during the remainder of present session. He has also outlined his 1924 presidential campaign, thereby virtually eliminating all aspirants within his party and placing the democrats on the defensive. As for the colored brother, President Coolidge has failed to clarify the racial situation one whit and has offered nothing new to make possible the acquisition and retention of the black race's God-even, inalienable and constitutional rights in the country, especially the South. MERELY A CLEAR-CUT ISSUE. The question of abolishing or retaining the white jitneys, upon which the colored and white electors will cast a ballot on Saturday, January 19, 1924, is a clear-cut issue and even at this early stage of the game colored citizens ought to have their minds made up in the matter. This is one proposition that has no two sides to it, as far as the colored voters are concerned; for the retention of the "white jitneys" will not help our cause one bit, yet their abolition will away with the dual system of intra-city transportation and enable the local traction company to make the improvements and extensions that a great and growing city like Houston needs and must be supported. The city would be retarded and held back by inadequate rapid transit facilities. The jitneys came into existence during the dull and hard times of 1914, and, like most innovations and novelties, they made quite an impression upon the riding public during those boon days, but, alas! they soon shot their bolt. Not only did the jitneys fail to give adequate service, especially during rainy and cold weather, but they were and are like the Dead Man's Hand, a system that only afforded a few fair-paying jobs to drivers and operators, and increased the sales of dealers in "flivers" and "cock-coaches." Seeing that the jitneys were not filling a public need, but rather were complicating the transportation systems and literally raking in the cream, practically every American city has eliminated the jitney system, excepting Houston. In the final traction system, the jitneys must not only do, but must stay. There is not a solitary jitney line operated in this city by members of our race, and, when the San Felipe jitney line was abolished by official dictum and the colored owners and operators were making a desperate effort to get a new lease on life, all of us rejoiced. The police and the colored brother and publicly stated that they were not concerned the least in the re-establishment of the colored line in the Fourth Ward. Is there any colored man, woman or child that could so soon and easily forget this unkindly and stab in the back? Can one black man or woman be discovered or unkindly even in the presence of these "white jitneys" under such circumstances and in face of the dirty deal and double cross given the San Felipe jitneymen of color by these "white jitneymen"? If deserting and forsaking the colored jitneymen in their hour of need is the coup d'e-tat (stroke of policy) of these "white jitneymen," they prove themselves as utterly unworthy and undesirable to show our colored consideration from colored voters, either in part or as a whole. A "burnt dread lights," is an age-old axiom that retains its truth throughout the ages, and in this respect we should profit by our past mistakes. Beware of any propagandist that circulates rumors and reports of the colored jitneymen" lines are retained the San Felipe jitney line will be re-established; that the fight to abolish the "white jitneys" is also directed at the colored line, for the colored line does not exist, kind readers, and all such promises are pure poppy-cock and mere political palver. The Informer is not urging nor suggesting that our people vote their popular prejudices, but this paper is merely pointing the reader to the colored owners, people their path of manifest duty in the forthcoming election. If a set of men will "ditch" and forsake your race once, it stands to reason that they will perform the same act again whenever the opportunity presents itself; for self-preservation is also the first law of politics and wily and sheeded politicians will promise you the right to take the threw for women, for education and then tell you to take a swift trip to gehenna after election, particularly if their cause is victorious at the polls. Therefore, beware of those "promising" men and politicians, though they bear gifts! Get out your 1922 poll tax receipt, which you secured before Foley in 1922, or exemption certificate obtained during the same time, and get ready to swat the "white jitneys" on January 19, 1924. If cities larger and more prosperous than Houston could not afford a dual intra-city transportation system, where is the wisdom and foresight in trying to operate and maintain such a system in our city? If the meantime you poll tax now—"we don't mean maybe!" COMPULSORY INSURANCE When the agitation was first begun for a compulsory school attendance law, a great howl went up that it was too socialistic and that the state was about to exceed its authority in trying to regulate it. But, while the law may not be enforced rigidly and vigorously, there is no gainsaying the fact that it has wrought wonders and has done much to reduce juvenile delinquency and force parents to give their children an educational opportunity in the public schools of the state. Many programs considered socialistic and paternalistic years ago, have been embraced by us during these later days and we seem to be no worse for the innovation or novelty. We read a few days ago of a man dying and leaving his dependent wife absolutely nothing—not even sufficient funds nor insurance to give him a decent burial. Many programs are rather rare; that is, they rarely get into public print, for in numerous instances funds are solicited by friends of the family and we have known cases where collections were taken at the funerals of such persons. We have a certain duty to every member of our social fabric and every human being owes a certain duty to society, and where the individual does not perform his holdout duty, society should see to it that he or she does. If legislation can be passed and enforced for compulsory school attendance, would it be any more socialistic or communistic to put a certain duty on the state to provide against future disability and inability to earn a livelihood by taking some kind of insurance? The day laborer or person who performs manual labor becomes more and more a ward of society as his age advances and his earning power and capacity decreases; and, at his best, only in rare cases may the law be enforced and dependents much in material possessions and earthly goods. When he grows old, he becomes too much of an insurance risk and thus he is unable to get protection in his declining years against disability, illness and death. If the state or society (we do not mean secret societies or fraternities) say that it every head of a family, at least, carried some kind of insurance, the insurer and woe of our day and time would be eliminated or run out of impossible and future generations would not be forced to pay for our shortsightedness, neglect and failure in this respect.

JUNIOR TOPIC - Paul Crosses the INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Paul's ambition Paul's ADULT TOPIC - Paul's aim and Methods The Gospel having broken the confines of the Jewish city and country, the middle wall of partition being abolished, the time came for it to heap pressure on the Jews to conquer of another continent. Christianity thus ceased to be an oriental religion and through the centuries has been a part of the world. 1. Call to Macedonia (16 Act 5-11) 1. The Vision (v. 9). Being hewn on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for the Jews to come down doors about him. The Spirit an definitely leads in the closing of some doors as in the opening of other doors. The Spirit should look both ways. Before there can be any great forward movement there must be a vision. The great achievements of men are the products IV. Paul's Aim in Preaching the Gospel "Waist World-Wide" (Rom. 15:11). His heart transcendent desire was to so preach the Gospel that the Gentiles might become obedient to the faith. In order that this might be accomplished, he placed regions, so that the light of the Gospel might shine into the darkness of the heathen world. May we work in there, if there is much work to be done. For Those Who Love Him If mind can act on body as well as body on mind, it is possible for us to say to what extent, in the ordinary world, we are only incidentally connected with religion, the government of the world itself may be carried on by a similar motive. We are only incidentally connected with High be more or less continually present, to direct our attention and concern, to direct our attention to various motives which contend around us for the preference, and the various lines of action to which those motives lead. Spirit, then, may be, in truth, a constituent part of the most extensive and important of all our Make's decisions, which all work together to which all things work together for the welfare of those who love Him.
