CROSSLAND LEAVES TUSKEGEE ILLINOIS WANTS COLORED DELEGATE FINAL EDITION VOL. V. THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON. "THAT DOES SETTLE IT." Not being satisfied with feeding our people and operating joints and drives up their coffee, we updressed our coffee, rumser it has that a bunch of foreigners are going to operate a barber shop on Milam street for our people. This job is being remodeled and renovated for a colored toulouse parlor, and, when it is opened, we prepare the room to give each trying to get to it a chance. "That does seltle it!" Yet those our race, both high and low, who have worked successfully, either by patronizing their space in colored buildings, are responsible for the challenge this foreigner is hurting the barber shop owned by Luckenbach and our people in the downtown area. Take the Oran barbershop, for instance, opened by Luckenbach W. Lomax and Robert S. "Bob" (Sloe) of Houston to give the colored people of Houston and South Texas the best appointment in Texas and perhaps the South. A few years ago these same graduate students and connected both shop with an arcade, and thereby gave employment to the race, and from furnishing additional conveniences and accommodations for these two shops make sixteen chairs and give regular employment to 23 members of the race, the pay will be the same each year. But every place is given at the White Bram shop, at the Lincoln shop and all other down-town colored barbershop, alsa the race will finally reopen in some race man's pocket. Not so when we paint the shops owned by other people, but operated for us; for all revenue there is invested in the pocket of other races. we no particular fight to wear it in it. Our idea to give it any free vetching and publicity; but we are far more objective in our bourbons and economic career in this community, and we advocate the theory in our bourbons and guard them of the pitfalls and dangers and endeavor to show that we are not the ones. Let others forsake the colored shoes, but, like the propthesis in days of old France, we want to get our hairstyles, hairstyles and other tonalor work at the barber shops owned and operated by members of our community. TWO CHICAGO MEETINGS. Chicago will be host to two important events: the Airbnb Congress or the Bedridden Conference. Kettery Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Lloyd Leahy of Chicago will host the brilliant Ronnie Goslin Simmons of Chicago and Lloyd Leahy of Chicago. Both meetings will be attended by some of the brightest minds in America, including the late Ronald Reagan, who included every phase of our racial life. The Sandhite's program is a lifelong tradition, and the Lincoln League, as the latter is largely political, while the former is largely cultural, with and discuss many vital issues. Meeting in Chicago during the same period will make history for the race and should do much to cement a close relation between the two races, when efforts on behalf of our group heritage have not been as unified and solidified as they would have been if the race is caused to be in advance to any appreciable degree. We have programmed several prominent white Americans, including a member of the president's team, to be interested and illuminated. We hope both meetings will greatest interest the race will derive much good. Such meetings are calculated to wield a significant influence on our group and the nation at large. More power and long life to these movements and their promoters and sponsors. ADDRESSED BRYAN ROTARIANS. Prof. C. H. Walker, Prairie View, director of extension work among the colored people of Texas, accepted an invitation to attend the meeting, Wednesday, and employed as a subject, "Examination Work Among Negroes." This was an unusual honor accepted this race man and educator, who is a potent force in improving the course of the race in the local urban area.

Jackson, Mim--Among the many things contained in the 12,000 word message to the state legislature of L.A. Whitfield, sworn in as governor of California, succeeded Lee M. Russell, was a strong statement urging a more liberal attitude toward the negro race. He stressed measures to check the exodus of the improvement of living conditions as well as wading conditions for Negroes throughout the state. The new governor declared that another and very important factor in curbing the general dissatisfaction of Negroes was the improvement of educational facilities among Negroes. "This alarming inroad on the working people of this state must be stop- and unless the people in power succeed in coordinating the colored race in every partici-ular, Mississippi will lose the backbone of its producers. I especially recommend the passage of remedial legal action at the present session," he declared.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 CREAGER'S OPEN LETTER AGAINST THE KLAN. The Informer acknowledges receipt of the open letter written by Hon. R. B. Creager of Brownsville, Texas, to his fellow members of the republican national executive committee, in which the Texas national committee attacks an exorcist and commits the party against kluxism and help destroy this organization. In his open letter, Mr. Creager states that, "the Ku Klux Klan bases its strongest appeal on racial and religious prejudice" and that he "recognizes the principles that constitute a challenge to organized government." Going further, the Texas political leader says: "We must express our abhorrence of attempted discrimination between and proscription of American citizens because of race, religion or acculturation." He also states that "the usurpation of governmental functions by any group or class." The Informer's position on this "invisible empire," dating from the inception of the organization until the present hour, is too well known to reiterate here; for this paper was the first publication of the work, and when he "demonstrated the klan, and when the "illy white" republicans were trying to ku klux the colored republicans in Texas during 1920, this paper was then opposed all species of kluxism. Mr. Creager's letter is timely, logical, convincing and rings with the voices of Americanism, but what one does speaks louder than what one says. As an aspirant for republican leadership in Texas during 1920 (and even since the memorable campaign in Texas during the last presidential election year), the author and sponsor of this open letter, Mr. Creager, states that "discrimination between and proscription of American citizens because of color;" and the "illy-white" political movement among the so-called white republicans of Texas—based as it was on racial prejudice, antipathy and hatred—did much to accelerate and give impetus to the order that Mr. Creager now desires to be suppressed During that hectic political contest of 1920, the Informer more than once sounded a note of warning and advised the "flly-white" thereminers and their supporters to watch the wind and would ultimately reap a whirlwind; that true democracy and undiluted republicanism knew no racial nor religious lines. Mr. Greagan spoke in the party in Texas is still committed to the "pollination" distinction between and proscription of American citizens because of race"; for he gave out several interviews during last year in Houston and Dallas that the "republican party in Texas will henceforth be a white man's party." But this does not this Texas politician practice what he preaches along this line. If it is proper, wise, expedient, politic and republican to exclude American citizens from the affairs and councils of the party that came into being largely because of these discriminated and excluded members of the party, to stray another order that contends that it possesses the constitutional and inalienable right to prosecute the qualifications of its adherents and constituents? Mr. Greagan's mask of the "invisible empire" or masquerading under the cloak of a visible political party, is diametrically at variance with the fundamental principles and doctrines of a democratic republic such as our professors to be. We wonder if Committeeman Greagan thought about this island of freedom before breaking into print with his open letter against the klan. This Texas republican also served notice on his fellow members of the national executive committee that he is anxious to serve on a platform and resolutions committee at the republican national congress. POSED republican party in Texas a very virgin and fertile field in which to effect this reform movement, for the "illy-whites" of the state, and of the AME of the country, and deprudations upon American citizens because of color in 1820. Of course, it may be that Br'er Creager's heart has been regenerated and transformed along this particular line and the colored brother and sister may be in line for a better deal from the hands of Creager's "illy-wile colony during 1924; but we are "from Missouri!" Creager Teacher once said, Br'er Creager, "Get first the beam out of thine own eye, then you cannot see clearly how to cast out the mote which is thy brother's eye." Selah! COLORED HOUSTONIANS NOT APT PUPILS Several years ago, a colored comedian, acting in the role of detective in a musical comedy show, continued to ruminate and exclaim: "What this place needs is a pie fundery?" We would say, "What the colored people of Houston need is a little more common sense, racial respect and group solidarity." We are too hopelessly divided along all lines and this division only lends strength and encouragement to those who would exploit us and keep us in virtual economic servitude and political power. In his rambles last week, Climbe (who writes some of the most witty, philosophical, and profound articles of their kind in America) called attention to this fact—how we are making other races rich and powerful and impoverishing and weakening our own. These same people, most of whom are foreigners, are only using us as a tool to make the colored brother looks like one German mark's worth of dog meat. A few years ago a foreigner, who operates an eating joint for colored people in this city, shot at one colored customer and seriously wounded an aged innocent bystander. In 11 a.m., at noon we thought we would pass by the place and see what effect it had upon our people. To our surprise the place was packed and jammed with black men and women and several were standing outside, waiting to get inside to eat. In the race these foreigners employ (and this is only done for business reasons), one red cent of this money ever comes back to the race; they aid no worthy and laudable racial causes, support no colored institutions, advertise in no colored publications, and their only interest in our people means to separate the colored race from its hard earned money. And yet we jazz and flirt along and fatten for snakes, and then when the snakes eat these frogs and attain certain sizes, they stick their poisonous fangs in us and inject their deadly venom in you. Yes, sir, what the colored race in Houston needs is a little common sense, race pride and larger degree of interest in each other. No black man can rise higher than the lowest member of his race, yet one low member can hold the entire race back and down. The Informer is not preaching a doctrine of boycott, but this paper is for our race first, and where colored men can serve our wants is our indispensable duty to patronize this race man and those are not just right, go to him in person and register your complaint. Too often we complain about certain conditions existing in colored business concerns, instead of complaining to the proprietor. We heard a man remark the other day that the colored ice men and wood dealers had put all the foreigners out of those lines of business. World and we therefore think that if the colored men could do this well with ice and wood, there is no earthly reason why we can not do equally as well along other lines, such as grocery stores, eating houses, and lastly, even a barber shop. C! A word to the wise should be sufficient and the wise should inform and show the light to the unwise and unthinking members of our racial group. No race can ever expect to amount that forksakes its business and professional men and women for those of other races! When will colored Houstonians learn their lesson? THE FALL-DOHENEY-SINCLAIR SCANDAL Removing the Fall investigation from the purview of partisan politics and viewing the transactions at this angle of the inquiry, it begins to appear that the 1919 Chicago White Sox were not the persons to wake up with rolls of greenbacks under their pillows. Without attempting to prejudge the former secretary of interior, Albert B. Fall of New Mexico, the least suggestion or hint that the Fall would be guilty of taking advantage of his high office to further his personal interests, meets the unqualified disapproval of the vast majority of American people. Only the most senior big offices and once they are elevated to these posts and tendered these portfolios, they should function and conduct their departments as free from suspicion and tint of graff and scandal as possible. This brings up the question of niggersy salaries paid the majority of the corporate whom are not of the wealthy class and find it rather difficult to make both ends meet on their meagre pay. There is no big corporation in America that would compel its executives and guiding heirs to pay small salaries as they would to the Slater shareholder receive a volume and importance of their work are taken into consideration. This is no plea nor brief for ex-Secretary Fall, for his guilt has not yet been proved; but the fact that America only pays its cabals and annuum, makes anything possible among some such office-holders. But whether working for a small salary or gratuitously, no public servant should abuse the confidence the people have reported in him nor employ his office for feathering his own nest, especially in the case of the former. Just what effect the Fall investigation will have upon the presidential election, is too much for The Informer to attempt. We forecast just here; for whether it will work to the advantage or disadvantage of the republican party is beside the point and questionable. There is a greater and more far-reaching principle involved and that concerns the entire citizenry of this republic—the question of high government officials signing and agreeing to deals and transactions that only benefit their friends and themselves; deals that have the least tint of graff and "hush-mouth" money; the least interest in the public in the Fall-Dohene-Sinclair oil leaves; then legal step must be taken to punish the guilty offenders and even their accessories before and after the fact; for there must be no crookedness and graft among those men who have been elevated and promoted to some of the highest positions of trust, power and influence in the country. The fact is that the public would profit by the mistakes of those republicans now resting in the plaid sepulches of the past ages, we must have greater bulwarks of protection than standing armies, powerful navy and untold wealth—we must build a nation of unimpeachable character, integrity, honesty, morality and all the attributes and elements that we must give permanent power and longevity to the body politic.
