Let nothing stand in the way of Let's all go to the polls and make the Let's all go to the polls and make the unconscious! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The hectic days of the political campaign of 1920 should serve as a reminder that voters, for we can not tell, what fate has in store for us on along political lines. No man nor woman can vote during the elections in 1924 (save in the jit jit of 1924) who has not qualified by the payment of the poll tax or securing of the exemption certificate before midnight. Many issues are to be decided at the polls during this year, among which the several members of the school board of the Houston district will be elected to the board of trustees. Bond issues will likely be submitted to the voters of the city and other public officials. The public president, county, district and state conventions will be held in the city, body holding forth at Cleveland, Ohio, during June. The district, state and congressional officials will also be elected during this year, which bids fair to be an important history of this country, and perhaps our county and state. We must single quality and be in a position where they can vote in the various elections, they can not cut any wait in the elections of 1924. To remove the possibility of insults, crowdwashing and discrimination, our public officials must be American Mutual office, 7144 Prairie avenue, which is open daily and where we can take pleasure in writing your receipt or issuing your certificate. We will take pleasure in writing your receipt and let 18,000 of us get ready for the political battles and issues of 1924! FORMER TEXAN VISITOR. Dr. Count J.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER Hamlet, in his celebrated soliloquy, ruminates thusly: "To be or not to be: this is the question." The electorate of the City of Houston will be asked to decide the question of "to jit or not to jit" in tomorrow's (Saturday) election, when the voters of the city will be afforded an opportunity to either retain or abolish the white jitneys with their ballots. "To jit or not to jit!" This is the question that the electors of Houston must decide at the polls in Saturday's election. Whether it were better and wiser to endure the present dual intra-city transportation ills and misery, or eliminate the "divers" and "cockroaches" and give the local transportation company a fair chance to deliver the goods and make its promises and patience. But soliloquizing, ruminating, deliberating and hesitating will not decide this issue, dear friends; it is going to require votes and plenty of votes to give these white jitneys a vacation of permanent duration. In previous editorials and articles we have endeavored to give our people and readers some sense, sensible and logical reasons why the city should go to the polls on tomorrow (Saturday) and cast a ballot for the abolishment of the jitney pest, misanence and menace. We have striven to show where colored citizens can neither operate nor ride in these white jitneys; that the colored San Felipe jitney line was abolished because the owners and operators of the city did not manifest any interest in the men, and what is worse into a connivance and conspiracy to oust the colored jitneys! We have striven the situation as it relates to the white jitneys on one side and the local traction company on the other; and, without bias, prejudice or the policy of striking back. The Informer is unable to see what benefit will accrue to our racial policy by the rejection of the white jitneys. On the other hand, this paper can see wonderful benefits, both directly and indirectly, to the colored residents and tax payers of the city, if the white jitneys are put out of commission and the street car company afforded an opportunity to grow, develop and help up our great and growing city. On the other hand, through and by the aid of jitneys, which at best can only serve a few of the thousands of people that must daily depend and rely upon rapid transit facilities; yet they fit along the streets, paved at the expense of the citizens and traction company (where they employ those streets used by the street car lines), and skim the cream (short hauls), and water (long hauls and transfer passengers) for the street cars. Last week we gave some facts and figures regarding the number of colored people the Houston Electric Company employs regularly and during extension and construction periods, and we showed them that we are not required to go to the jeans of our race every year by the local traction company. This was also compared with the number of our people that the white jitneys do not employ; the number of our people that do not and can operate; the number of our people that do not and can operate and own these white jitneys! Now, permit us to become impersonal and unselfish and show white jitneys to the Houston Electric Company for the entire community, all races included, and none excluded.

This is the opinion not alone of colored leaders and thinkers, but likewise the opinion of scores of white leaders who, as they say, are “sick and tired of Southern four-flushing or political piety. In this they have been aided and abetted by a small group of individuals who have been in the public service. However, recent events, national and international, have disclosed that rock-ribbed republicans, including President Coolidge, Chairman Adams of the national committee, Senator Pepper, R. K.

Among these is the one to the effect that when citizens are deprived of a political position, the people are required to wear asbestos gloves. The embarrassing condition now confronting Congress, the democratization of the proportionate cutting down of representation in Congress, the democratization of the proportionate way with the way that the people are, who acquiesce, is the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. Some of the strongest advocates of enforcement like Congressman Uphaw of Georgia, the American Congressman Uphaw, are in the face of a total of voting enforced with terror and the shotgun, and there have been many of the people who have been forced to leave the public, who have had the serve to call the condition into the sense of the condition into the service of the condition.

Some of the strongest advocates of enforcement like Congressman Uphaw of Georgia are, holding them in possession of the legislature, by congress of Maryland, as a "political" congressman, by congress of a free nullification and defiance of the fourteenth amendment as a result of a compromise to effectively every congressman in practically every Southern state.

Honestly and fairly, can't we afford to support, endorse and approve such a comprehensive program of extension, improvements and construction within the next three years?

GOLDEN TEXT—By faith. Moses, when he was come to years refused to care of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affection with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- MOSES, the Liberator. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- Iced and the Deliverance From Egyptian Bondage. After Joseph was dead, there was a change of dynasty (Exod. 1:8). The new king, noting the rapid increase of the Israelities, counseled the exercise of prudence least when war broke out they join the enemy and fight against the Egyptians. One of the methods to curtail this increase was to enslave the people. Falling in that, an edict was issued that every male child should be drowned. While the oppression of God's people was heading up, God was providing a deliverer. Moses, that deliverer, was first trained at his mother's knee, then at Pharosh's court and finally under God's immediate hand in the desert. I. The Lord Spoke to Moses From the Burning Bush (Xkod. 3:1-6). the Burning Bush (Exod. 3:1-6). It was while keeping the flock of his father-in-law in the desert that the Lord appeared to Moses in the vision of the burning bush. This bush, enveloped in flames, yet unconsumed, symbolized the people of God enswathed in the very fire of God, or God dwelling in the midst of an elect people. Moses stepped aside to behold this strange sight and was taught the essential lesson of the proper approach to God. The Lord did not leave him long in suspense. He told him he was the God of his fathers, the Covenant God. As soon as he knew it was God speaking to him, he hid his face. 11. Moses Commissioned as the Deliverer of His People (Exod. 3:7-10). 1. God's Active Interest in His People (v. 7). In the preamble of this commission, God said to Moses, (1) "I have seen the affliction of my people"; (2) "I have heard their cry"; (3) "I know their sorrow." 2. God's Gracious Obligation to His People (vv. 8, 9). (1) To deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians. (2) To bring them up out of the land. (3) To bring them into a "good land and a large." 3. God's Commission to Moses (m 10). "Come now therefore, and I will come," Moses said, "may you mayest bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." This call seems to have been a great surprise to Moses. At any rate, his reminders to undertake such a task. 11. Moses' Objectives Patiently Held and Removed (Exod. 3:11; 4:14). 1. Personal Vulnerability (t 11). He realized his insufficiency for this task. Moses did not refuse to go, but plied Moses with a stick and answered this difficulty by assuring him that He would be with him. The token of His presence would be His hand. Moses would be people of Israel on this mountain. 2. The Difficulty of the People to Understand Moses' Relationship to God (vv. 18, 14). Moses knew how unwilling they were to acknowledge him as their deliverer 40 years before. Since God reveals Himself under a new name as He assumes a new relationship to His people, Moses inquired as to what that new relationship would be, and His corresponding name. The Lord promptly met this difficulty revealing to him a name different in many respects from all others previously given. This new name is, "I Am." This name is from the Hebrew word, "to be." It indicates (1) God's self-existence—the One whose very nature it is to be—the cause of all being. (2) His self-sufficiency. He said, "I Am That I Am." Since God is the unique One, He could not go outside of Himself to explain Himself; (3) His unchangeableness. What He always was and is. He evermore shall be. 3. Unbelief on the Part of the People (Exod. 4:1). This difficulty the Lord met by supplying him with credentials which could not be gained. He was given the power to perform supernatural wonders (Exod. 4:2). 4. Lack of Eloquence (Exod. 4:10). This difficulty the Lord met by providing an assistant in the person of his brother Aron. Mosse was to be in the place of God to Pharaoh and Aron was to be his prophet (Exod. 7:1, 2). Lasting Friendship The friendship of Jesus is one that lasts.-The Gospel Herald Perfect Peace.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 Reports emanating from Washington, D. C., state that the Texas representatives in the national legislative body are up to their usual tricks and that these Lone Star solons, aided and abetted by other Southern democrats, aristocrats and mobsters, will oppose and fight the Dyer anti-lynching bill to the last chitch. This bit of news is neither surprising nor alarming, for these solons must make some noise to impress the folks at home that they are looking after their interests, and that they will battle to the bitter end any encroachments upon the righteous and sacred doctrine of "states rights!" It is hard for The Informer to believe that these Texas and Southern representatives favor and advocate lynch law, but since actions speak louder than words, their congressional and senatorial actions in opposing all proposed legislation for the suppression and elimination of mobocracy, are calculated to lead one to conclude that these Southerners are ardent and devout adherents, supporters and devotees of the famous American pastime—lynching. The four worst and approve of lynching the Dixie law-makers trut out the ancient and extinct doctrine of "states rights," as if this doctrine were not intered at the termination of the Civil War. But, in assuming this attitude, these Southern solons are quite inconsistent and unreasonable, for the reason that they favor and swallow federal invasion of states rights at one time and then oppose it at another time. Practically every amendment to the federal constitution, particularly those enacted since the fratricial struggle of 1861-5, "inades" the domain of states rights; and, with the exception of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, which are in a state of innocuous desuetude, the South has gullibly swallowed all of them and more! The 16th amendment, dealing with the levying and collecting of the income taxes, meets no organized opposition from Southern sources nor solons. The 17th amendment, which tells the several states how they must elect their United States senators, creates no noticeable furore and wild-eyed agitation in Dixie. The 18th amendment, (Let us pray!) that national act that tries to regulate a man's appetite and that has for its purpose the making of a Sahara out of the several states of the commonwealth, is a direct invasion of the individual rights and prerogatives of the Southern states ran a manation to see which one would be the first to ratify this particular "states rights invasion" federal statute. These same Southern solons vote out millions of dollars every year for the enforcement of the 18th amendment, and most of them endeavor to move hell, heaven and earth every time they hear of the violation of this particular amendment—this amendment, which is the federal government police powers in the several states, Dixie included. Can you beat it? Perfectly willing and amenable to a national law that invades the domain of the several states and even prisoners and cases out of the courts of the states, just because some Tom, Dick or Harry made the "apple-jack", or sold the business, even if the federal government "up on some certain brand of "moonshine" or the "real stuff"! But when it comes to proposing a law to safeguard the lives and protect American citizens from mobocracy and anarchy, these same solos—who are so submissive to the other federal amendments or so enthusiastic about and insistent upon their observance and enforcement—rant, snort and covort and proclaim that any law that would infringe on their rights would Judge Lynch, is ipso facto, an invasion of the rights of the states. In other words, these solos, knowingly or unknowingly, contend that the practice of lynching, burning and amming Ameri- PAGE FOUR NEW SUBSCRIPTION RATES: IMPORTANTI TELEPHONE: m. to 7 p. m. and Sundays vertiating Representative, W.

Whenever the colored race in the South begins to ask and demand certain仁使able, constitutional and God-given rights, the cry is immediately raised that the "niggers' want 'social' equality!" Mr. and Mrs. Uril Johnson have moved into their new residence, 3415 McGowen avenue. Every time a bill is introduced in the national law-making body that will sooner or later afford the colored citizens of this country some redress from evil and protection from wrongs, these same people raise the hue of "states rights." Mrs Bessie Walker, Doeckert, it at the bedside of her sister, Mrs Leola Born to Mr. and Mrs. W. L. White, Whitty Street, on January 8, 1915. The doctrine of "states rights" is as dead as Dodo, in so far as it delegates to the individual states the rights to do as they please, whether such policy and procedure be to the best interests of the republic or not. Miss A. L. Truitt left this week for California and expects to reside in the west permanently. These same solons have another argument against the Dyer anti-lynchning bill and that is, it is unconstitutional, null and void. Ben F. Calboun, former Houston resident, now living in Chicago, is in the city for a visit with relatives and friends. We always thought it was the duty of congress to pass laws, then permit the court, through regular processes, to make such constitutions.

Political observers, writers and prognosticators are saying that the Southern representation was restored to its former basis in the national republican convention as a matter of political expediency; that thousands of colored migrants would perhaps resent the conventional disfranchisement of their Dixie brothers and sisters and that to coral this vote and support, the G.

If the colored vote is going to play such an important part in the autumn election (and ebony-hued voters do constitute the balance of power in several pivotal and debatable states of the North and border territory), then both Colonel Simmons and the Express are right in contending that the colored republicans of Texas (and the white republicans, too, who believe in the fundamental principles, tenets, dogmas and doctrines of the party) should get busy and press their battle to the gate.

The "ily-white" republicans of the state were pie-hungry and office greedy in 1920, for the democrats had kept them away from the trough and pork barrel for eight long and hard years; and thus these so-called republicans (for office purposes chiefly) were determined that no colored delegates would get in their way and halt their raid on the pie-counter.

All things considered, it does appear as a logical and propitious time for the colored voters of republican persuasion in Texas, to formulate some plans of action and sally forth to the fray. The first thing to do is to get a large number of our men and women to qualify as voters, by the payment of the poll tax or security exemption certificate before the midnight of January 31, 1924. The next step would be to organize their forces and outline the line of battle. Many were the tricks and dirty practices indulged in by the "ily-white" leaders in Texas during 1920, but some have a hunch that the tribunal in the party will not sanction such procedure in 1924. No man can win a case without presenting it to a tribunal or some person duly delegated and authorized to sit in judgment on said cause. Will the colored republicans of Texas permit their case to be lost through default, or they will arise and with every vestige of manhood contend for their rights within the party of Lincoln, Dewey, T.
