The republicans acted only after in reversing completely a resolute session of the committee in War Hays, then national chairman. the protests of colored America right and just," to use the words of the question in the voting states of the mitteman Hynica of Ohio. Re in the light of practical experience of Pennsylvania, prove that a Washington, D. C. The republican party of the nation, expressing itself through the republican national committee assembled here, has gone on record favoring a basic principle of justice in representation at the republican national convention to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, next June. The republicans acted only after long and serious consideration in reversing completely a resolution adopted two years ago at a session of the committee in Washington presided over by Will H. Hays, then national chairman. The committee acted then over the protests of colored America; it acted this time "because it is right and just," to use the words of National Committeeman Kealing of Indiana; but as a matter of fact, "because it is a serious question," to use the words of National Committeeman Hynica of Ohio. Results in elections since 1821, and in the light of practical experience according to Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, prove that a mistake was made. The victory of the restoration of rep is another law of equity, just as anresentation came as a big surprise to many people, even those who favored it. The victory of the restoration of rep comes when who comes at the bar of equity, men come with clean hands." Vote Following Day. The vice president took place on the second day of the following session, in an examination in saying "too hard to be done," and at times acrimonious, debate by members of the national committee, and at they were told it but it is too late to do anything now.* Undercurrent at Work. But there was an undercurrent at work. The force of this undercurrent was the result of the national committee meeting. A host of representative colored men and women, not only from the South but also from the North, Washington to place their grievances directly before the highest tribunal of the matter was first taken before the subcommittee, of which Senator Robertson fought to reduce Southern repression. Senator Hovell has been by his own admission more than twenty years fighting to reduce Southern repression. He has been a United States senator from Nebraska and the national committee from Kansas in 1912 and has been one of the seven senators opposing the organization of The Historical Session. The session was held in the ballroom on the tenth floor of the New Willard hotel. Hon. John T. Adams, chairman of the republican national committee presided. On all sides there was the highest praise of the fine, judicial, patient and fair manner in which Mr Adams directed the session. The committee had voted to devote forty-five minutes to the consideration, but at most two hours were consumed. The first address was made by Atorney Perry W. Howard, who urged that the committee consider the subject in the light of human as well as party fairness. Then followed Roscoe Conklin Simmons, who, by the gift of his eloquence and knowledge of facts, spoke for more than thirty minutes on the subject, actually holding the committee and the big audience of visitors spellbound. Simmons' address was a masterful appeal to reason, both practical and sentimental. He declared: "Instead of driving the colored people from the party, the party should run after us, for," declared Simmons, "some day when civilized Europe awakes to action if you do not run after us, you will run with us." Following Simmons, National Committeeman Rammel of Arkansas, a state president and man of large influence, spoke on the subject of reduction. Mr. Rammel called "a spade" and said that the subject should be looked at in honest and just fashion. He declared that the colored people of today are not the people of yesterday; that from one end of the country to the other they read more than 150 newspapers, and are as well informed as anyone. He stated that in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan, Missouri and other states election results have proved that colored people are now protesting with the ballot, and the democrats of the North are flirting with them. The first, and practically the only, opposition to the consideration of the subject came from Senator Howell, who arose to state the case as he saw it, basing his entire opposition, ostentatiously on the recent election. He said that the place from states that cast so few votes. Mr. Howell declared that it was all in accordance with an ancient law of equity that justice must be given. He said that the election was not a matter of the place for the senator to begin his reduction is in the senate of the United States, of which he is a member. Howell said that the senate on the subject of equity by saying: "There The following Simmons, National Committeeman Rammel of Arkansas, a state president and man of large influence, spoke on the subject of reduction.

The vote look place on the second day of the session following an exclamation, debate by members of the national committee. A motion was offered by the southeastern Haitian Hill of 1921. This was passed, a resolution was issued by Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania to the record of 1920, and giving an additional three votes to all the states that gave their votes to Senator Pepper of New York in In leading the fight for his resolution, Senator Pepper proved himself a statesman and a master of wisdom and leadership. Senator Pepper of New Mexico plied him with questions which Senator Pepper asked and dignity that the opponents looked every bit like the proverbial "sandwich man." Finally called for the vote, following an effort of Senator Borson, which to send the resolution to committee, to send the resolution to Mr. Adams, and Mr. Adams amulet defending appaice of members of the committee, clared the resolution passed. Later Senator Borson went on to backstep, to be taken before the naming of splitting the party in 1928. Practical political leaders, however, regard it as the wisest move that the senate could admit of the political importance of it North as well as South, and a close of the mooring of human justice.

STARLEY, Vicar of St Cloments P. L. Church) And there were shepherds in the mass abbey, in the field, and keep watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord came round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, he not afraid, for a young man came up of great joy which shall be to you, and gave to people, for the day this in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Savior, a multitude of the holy host, we shall find a babe wrapped in waddling clothes, and lying in a manger, suddenly there was with him a child, praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men, in whom he is well pleased.

To those who have Christmas, comes no physical degradation, the world can not go away. "Glory to God in the peace among men, in ed!" It is in the above words "more exquisite than any idyl to Christian Ears," that St Luke writes of the nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Notwithstanding the centuries which have intervened between the first writing, the dramatic sense of St Luke is still thrilling the account ever increasingly soul-thrilling! But infinitely more happy is that individual who, while feeling the dramatic appeal patterns his life after the life which the Christ-child came to bring. He is still deceiving each other, though presented in radio and public. Society is yet safe for the caste system based upon color, though calling it a sociac necessity; society is still unsafe for the genius practice of universal brotherhood of man though perfunctory preached from pulpits and provided by radio and public. There can not be, there never will be peace on earth until God is pleased with men. To some, Christmas is a feast of Bacchus to others, a festivity of Epicurus; to a few it is a festival of humility and spiritual retreat. Christmas is not primarily an opportunity to exchange gifts, with the usual culinary of subsequent financial embarrassment but a season of yielding our hearts, minds souls and strength to Him, who came that our thraldom from sin might cease and an abundant life in spiritual freedom might begin. To those who have this conception of Christmas, comes not mental fatigue, no physical degradation, but that peace which the world can not give and can not take away. "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men, in whom God is wel pleased." It is in the above words "more exquisite than any idyll to Christian Ears," that St Luke writes of the nativity of our Lord and Saints. Notwithstanding the centuries which have intervened between the first writing, the dramatic sense of St Luke is still thrilling and the account ever increasing soul-thrubbing! But infinitely more happy is that individual, while feeling the dramatic appeal, patterns his life after the life which the Christ-child came to bring. Men are still deceiving each other, though calling it business expediency. Society is yet safe for the ease system, based upon color, though calling it a social matter, solely still for the sake of the practice of universal brotherhood of man, though perfunctory preached from pulpit and broadcasted by radio and press. There can not be, there never will be, peace on earth until God is pleased with men. To some, Christmas is a feast of Bacchus to thee, subjectly still for the sake of it is a festival of humility and spiritual refinement. Christmas is not primarily an opportunity to exchange gifts, with the usual culmination of subsequent financial embarrassment; but it is a celebration of souls and strength to Him, who came that our thraldom from sin might cease and a new, abundant life in spiritual freedom might be. To those who have this conception of Christmas, does not mental fatigue, physical degradation, but that peace which the world can not-give and can not take away. "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men, in whom God is well pleased." DR. CROSSLAND GOES TO. VETS' HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE, ALA. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D.

The aftermath of the great Lincoln-Howard football game, which produced considerable criticism on the management of the friend of the game that the whole matter may lead to a scandal that will be detrimental to the big annual event that has become wide闻名 in interstate. Among the criticisms are the facts that the manager, Dr. W. G. McCormick, has a huge interest in canvassing tickets on sale in Philadelphia, on sale just a short time before the game, but a huge interest can be gained from him. Philadelphia, a Lincolnite. There are not enough policies nor a sufficient enforcement of the laws. Evidently, from the official figures, in free, many thousand who had had tickets crushed through the gates without the tickets being taken. There was not enough money to hold a game, actually puzzel on the final score. To the Associated Negro Press Dr. Eleanor McCormick, the game is under official control, what that we should like to have directly understood—that the manager of the game is under official control, we all regret that there is any need for criticism and we assure the public that we will be on guard next year.

Chicago, Ill.—Chicago was added to the list of conquered cities, subdued by the witchery of a great voice, when Roland Hayes, foremost American tenor, appeared in recital here Wed- wesday night. "Hayes made his ap- pearance at Orchestra Hall, one of the largest and most finely-appointed au- diorilums in the city. It was a credit to the Negro music lovers of Chicago that they formed an majority part of the audience of serviceal thousand on a night when fording one's way through the streets of this city might have been compared to stumbling through a Dermosa forest in a storm. Mr. Hayes was preceded to Chicago by a steady volume of press notices which the critics of the middle most have learned to cast off with a nonchiance that would break the heart of an ordinary man. The best of the music authorities in this city all take pride in the boast of Missouri—you've got to show them. They capitulated under the charm and perfection of the staging of Hayes.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN WILL RECEIVE LESS. —ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1923. WHAT ABOUT OUR YOUNG MEN? WHAT ABOUT OUR YOUNG MEN? This is a very pertinent interrogation. When one beholds how so many young colored men of our city are going pell-mell to destruction and hog-wild over fast life and good times, he is forced to ask himself the above question. There is an old saying that no race can rise higher than its women, and if this is true (and we do not question its veracity), then no women can rise higher than their men. The men form the backbone or real foundation upon which our women and children are to build and rise, and if the male members of any race waste their lives in Riotous living and chasing after the important things, the future is indeed dark and gloomy for that race. If one will visit the local colored churches he will readily notice an alarming scarcity of men, especially young men. They are not to be found, in any large number, in the Sunday schools, young people's meetings, choirs or other auxiliaries and an audience of young men, who are large number members in all the various church denominations in Houston. But just pass by the joints, dives, resorts and rendezvous on San Felipe Street, Milam Street, McKinney Avenue, Odin Avenue and other hanging-out places of these young men and one will notice that they are not in the largest number. Most of them are little concerned about either yesterday, today or tomorrow, and the manner in which some of them deport themselves is a disgrace to the colored race and social family. Yet we hear a good deal about foreign missions and the salvation and Christianization of the heathen people of other countries, when it seems that we have a fertile and virgin field right under them and that within easy reach of our so ready helping hand (for others). We need to give the matter of our young men some serious and sober-minded consideration, for they will ultimately prove either the race's undoing or bring reproach and disgrace upon both their family connections and racial contingent. Instead of praying so much for the heathen of "dark and benighted Africa and the isles of the sea," let us pay a little more attention to these male heathen, jelly-beans, shleps, parasites and social vultures right in "Heavenly Houston!" Why does this deplorable and degrading condition obtain among our young people more than among other racial units of this and other communities? It all reverts to the lack of proper home training and culture, for entirely too many of our parents are completely forsaking THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1923. their children and leaving and permitting them to “raise” themselves and most of them are growing up like hogs, dogs and other low-brow animals. There is a vast difference between “raising” and “rearing” (children) in the way they grow hogs and such animals, but we “rear” (at least, we should do it) children. Solomon, the sage of sages, uttered this timely admonition: “Train the child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Bent sapling, bent tree, straight sapling, straight tree. Trees are the children’s child trees, thousands of today are the men and women of tomorrow and unless they have been properly trained and rightly developed, in their early days, the race’s cause is in bad hands. Too many of our parents have permitted fireside training to become obsolete, out of style or dormant, and, as sure as water is, they are not going to wind up with their children. Neither the schools, chinups, chairs and instability departments, reformatories nor penal institutions can supplant or replace the home—the first unit of society—which antedates all these agencies. Too many of our lads and lassies, boys and girls scarcely in their teens are permitted to stove the streets at night unsecured, with all kind of company and equipment—their majority and get in bad, their parents pour forth their songs of weeping and lamentations, when they are wholly blamable, in most instances, for the waywardness and incorrigibility of their offspring. And to short less and stop dwelling in the celestial realm so much and get back to the terrestrial region and devote more time to rearing, training, developing and safeguarding our children. Another thing, we need to cultivate the habit of looking after other people's business less and after our own business more; for example, the need of the needlers children are usually the worst bunch in the community. But our man power must be reclaimed, preserved and utilized in the proper channels or our case is well-nigh hopeless and helpless. Maybe it is too late to try to save these drones, parasites and habites of the masculine gender, who are throwing away the best years of their lives chasing the fantastic, vitality-sapping and morally and physically degenerating fads and fancies of their day and time; but it is not too late to save the children and youth of our country. If we are to prove ourselves citizens, then we must should all the burdens, responsibilities and duties incumbent upon all citizens of this commonwealth and members of the social family, and we must also be responsible to salvage and save the children and man power of our race. CAN WE RIDE IN THESE JITNEYS? This is a fair question to propound to ourselves or those of our racial group who may essay to champion the cause of the "white jitneys" in the election of Saturday, January 19, 1924, to determine the tracacy transportation system or whether the voters will consign the "flivers" and "cockroaches," as rapid transit facilities, to the scrap heap. How many colored citizens can ride in these "white jitneys?" Do you remember reading, some months back, about a "bright white" Negro" being arrested because he dared to ride in one of the tracacy transportation systems or whether the voters will consign the "flivers" and "cockroaches," as rapid transit facilities, to the scrap heap. How many colored citizens can ride in these "white jitneys?" Do you remember reading, some months back, about a "bright white" Negro" being arrested because he dared to ride in one of the tracacy transportation systems or whether the voters will consign the "flivers" and "cockroaches," as rapid transit facilities, to the scrap heap. All you have known any other colored man or woman to ride in one of these white jitneys, will please rise up and tell this waiting congregation! (There is silence!-There's a reason!) No colored man nor woman dare enter one of these white jitneys, and since we have no colored jitney line, what will it profit us to retain these white jitneys in our community? At best, they are nothing but transportation parasites. At worst, they are nothing but expensive in biology, a plant or animal that extracts or secures its food from the plant or animal to which it is attached,: boll wooil, cockroach, leech, etc. These parasitical modes of urban transportation virtually skim all the cream and leave the traction company the milk, water and particularly in sections served by both the street car company and the bus. They are irresponsible and in case of injuries sustained either in or by them, your chances of an equitable financial settlement for damages are indeed slim and almost to the vanishing point. These white jitneys do not employ a single member of our race, neither have they ever contributed one red penny to any racial courting our people, not even our churches and charitable institutions! Why, a colored man does not even get a chance to wash, clean and polish their cars, to say nothing of riding in them. No other public carriers in Texas are permitted by law to operate without making provisions for the accommodations of both races, save the Houston white jitneys. Are these jitneys in failing to comply with the state law in this respect, super-legal above all law and statute? How many streets have they helped to pay by paying one-third of the cost of the work? How many new residential districts and additions have they made possible by the extension of their lines to these suburban sections? The Inferior is not necessarily anti-jitney nor pro-traction company, but this paper has a way of always telling the brutal and insensitive that always endeavors to assume an editorial attitude on civic matters that will reound to the best interests of the entire citizenry. The Inferior, seldom, if ever, goes off half-cocked on such issues and matters, and this paper believes that every colored citizen should vote for the abolition of the white jitneys on Saturday, January 19, 1924. We the Inferior, of Texas were battling the Mexican hosts led by Santa Anna in the military conflict at San Jacinto the Texans raised as their battle-cry, "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" In this battle of votes for either the retention or abolition of the white jitney line, let our slogan and war-cry be, "Remember the San Felipe jitney line!" Remember how these same white jitney owners and operators gave the men the "merry ha ha" and "razo" when the former San Felipe men were trying with might and main to get back in business! Don't forget how these white jitney owners and operators sought the votes and support of these self-same race men and their friends in the last referendum on the abolition of the jitney, and, then, after their cause had won at the polls and they were sure of operating for some time, these same white owners and rescue of the color positively refused to come to the aid and rescue of the colored borough in the city council, by official action, abolished the San Felice jitney line! Ah, Ingratitude, thou art the basest of all sins! Selfishness and political expediency are thy twin companions! Remember that the devil trusted the turkey once and the fowl flew away, much to his satanic discomfiture, disaster, disadvantage, disappointment and displeasure! Moral—Vote against the jitneys on Saturday, January 19, 1924! By C. F. RICHARDSON. CREDIT AND DEBIT. Two bits of news, emanating from Washington, D. C., and civilians, have recently reached us, and while we re-examine the material, we are encouraged to deplore and denounce the other. We are in receipt of a booklet of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., which in 1989 and 1990 was an anniversary in the insurance field, granted permission to do business in the other item pertains to the alleged shortage of considerable money at the Howard-Lincoln football game in Philadelphia, Pa., on Thanksgiving Day. Though the crowd at this football game brought in 20,000 to 38,000, the paid attendance only showed 12,000, and now the call of charges of a big ticket scandal. It seems that park attendants only collected and collected at the games, together with other officers, several of the latter taking charge from the crowd paddling and jumping. This shortage and scandal will do to discredit the management of the event among our people and reflectively discreditably upon the promoters of this achievement that a thorough investigation will be made and the source and cause of this 10,000 shortage ascertained. If this news is disgusting and disheartening, the record of the imperial National Benefit Life Insurance Company is encouraging and inspiring and business way, "by we will only apply ourselves and play the game accorded the story of the rise and success of the founder of this mammoth in R.

There is now, more pronounced than ever, the feeling that something more advanced than was suggested by President Coolidge has got to be done with the so-called "problem." There is a disposition on the part of many to give Mr. Coolidge credit for the courage to say the same things that other presidents have said without considerable effort to suggest anything new. It is significant that, placed as the paragraphs on the Negro in the message, following those on prohibition and the necessity of law enforcement, there is nothing said about a stricter enforcement of the laws relative to the treatment to be accorded the Negro. There is the same attitude of "the Negro is a part of America's citizenry. He should be treated all right. The crime is not something, probably a creation of the laws to study the forms of misuse of the 12,000,000 are subjected. Of course, much in the improvement of race relations will depend upon the local conditions and the improvement of understanding. Dr. Motton has just told us that two races which understand each other cannot hate each other. This is not something this commission, some kind of a commission to study the matter." That's the way it has gone alright, white, or American, medical schools all the white. Mr. Coolidge adds the refuse to admit Negro applicants, Jim other note of doing something for Howe. Crow them, the congress must be done. Howe is not something in which the action of all of the race is inter-connected with charity-savvy people. It seems ceded, but which it is regrettable to that the half million dollars could be spent on the national legislature.

Mr. Cood�ge, like most of our pro- daids, has the suggestion of strict enforcement of laws relative to Negro. Negro leaders have about become con- visioned that there is a definite cos- teries against such an expression among white leaders from the presi- dent down. Negrows are becoming subject to the fear that white men in positions of influence are afraid to take the problem of Negro law enforcement.

Negro leaders have been advised that there is a definite conviction against such an expression amongst white Americans are becoming subject to the fear that white men in position of influence or afraid to tackle the problem of Negro law enforcement. Either that or they do not respect power of the Negro vote, in general, regard the authority of his citizenship sufficiently to stand out for law enforcement. It is generally believed that Mr. Coolidge's disposition of the Negro question was done easily, perhaps easily, than any other carried in his comprehensive message. Negro soldiers will be sorry that he is against the laws, because at least, barely attained in the Southern, or poor, states, will be the chief ones to suffer from such disliker.

The conference convoicing address on "The Power of Christian Principles to Overcome Race Antagonism and Subdue Good One of the most effective features of the institute is the participation of two colored women of character and achievement, Mrs. Porter Harbert, intelligent, cultured, unassuming, manifesting the finest service to their race, these women gave to many of the delegates a new sense of beauty and of a deeper sympathy with its upward struggle under heavy handholding and so also to address the miniature institute of Southern Methodist University and make a fine impression on faculty.

Brown, Wiley Asky, Sam Huston Dillion, Prairie View Kirven, Paul Quinn Flournoy, Bishop Oniel, Prairie View Hines, Wiley Newton, Sam Houston King, Bishop Sedberry, Paul Quinn Selecting an all-star eleven of the colored colleges of Texas is a tough job, as there were more good tough jobs, than there were years before. Competition was keener than ever before, and some of the best games ever played were witnessed in the Texas conference this fall. The team was not questioned, when among the names of the coaches appear the names of the coaches, Law of Lincinon, Gordon of Taladega, Collins of Iowa and H. J. L. Long of Starting with the ends, Baker of Texas College is in a class to himself. He is not questioned in man in the conference at catching for ward passes; then, too, he can handle an opposing tasks with equal skill. Baker in the real requirements of an all-star team, being only a shade behind other end, being only a shade behind Baker in the real requirements of an all-star team, being only a shade behind Prairie View and Nichols of Paul Quinn are other end worthy of men Thomas of Wiley, the 165-bound dynamo, and Morgan of Paul Quinn, the 165-bound defensive lineman, Thomas is an uniring smart lineman. What he lacks in weight, strength, speed, and endurance is one of the best blockers in the conference, goes down under pants with his 165-bound defensive lineman, *Shorty* Morgan is just about the most dangerous end runner in the conference, goes down under pants with his 165-bound defensive lineman, *W. Brown of Wiley, Flournoy of Hishop and Hunter of Prairie View* "Rolling Stone" Owena, the 165-bound Wiley lineman, is the best guardman has proven him a terror to every team he has met this fall. "Oweny of Hishop," the 165-bound defensive lineman, is placed at the other guard, and as such a good lineman that he can be a great defender. Asky of Sam Huston and Kirven of Quinn are the second team guardman that he can glides of Prairie View would be welcome in the conference.

Browning of Bishop is Jermany of Bishop has the call at quarter. Although the Bishop eleven years later, in 2014, Captain Jermany played laitly and was one bright spot of Bishop's play.

The halfback positions go to Ewell of Pratt's View and Orange of Wiley. Ewell's work in the final Quince and Wiley games was so sensational, the he can not be left off this selection. Orange of Wiley is one of the greatest punters in the game today. Weighing only 150 pounds, this sensational punter gets off spirals that average 50 to 55 yards. He is also a fair line plunger, an accurate passer and a dependable dropkicker. Newton of Sam Huston, Thompson and Pollard of Prairie View, and Willett of Texas College, King of Bishop and Tinnell of Paul Quinn are a splendid halfbacks. Sheppard of Paul Quinn is assigned to the fullback position. This star is one of the best men that ever set foot on a gridiron. To tell the truth there is nothing on the football field that Sheppard can not do. Without doubt, he is the best dropkicker in the South and almost as good as a broken field runner. He can pass, punt, block and play a great defensive game. Sedberry of Paul Quinn is second and the ranking second only to the Group of Willetts. The Lord of Texas College, Martin of Prairie View and Walton of Sam Huston played re-marketably well this year. Oh! Boy, Look! A Xmas dance Tuesday night, December 25 at K. of P.

At the first battle in LA, they unmasked the 16th cavalry, the Rough Riders, and the support of Colonel George Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The 15th cavalry and the 29th infantry render the battle of El Cameron. The 5th and 16th cavalry and the 29th infantry render the battle of San Juan Hill. 38—What is the Jeannes Fund?
