COLORED SHRINERS LOSE COHEN WILL HOLD FEDERAL POST FINAL EDITION VOL. V. THE FORT WORTH CONFERENCE. The conductor of this department was unable to attend the republican convention, and was unable to attend his birthday, but he is in receipt of a set of the "revolutions" passed by the convention. This document charges that the "republican state executive committee is unable to elect a deputy elected by party conventions"; that "all of the alleged members of the five committee have been appointed to some federal office"; which is concurring with the office of a private office holding as members of a political committee; that the republican state executive committee is unable to hand out federal jobs and not to build a strong vote-growing organization. The republican party contends that it should not allow it if these schisms, issues, divisions. It legalizes and indictments were made in the 1990s and operation and like it in other states and in the same manner that the Republican political machine hydrated political machine invaded and assisted the party organization. It coerced in building up a powerful federal patronage machine than in building up a strong party and getting out of the way. THE HOUSTON INFORMER U.B.F.&S.M.T.

Worth, Tex.—Republican leaders from all parts of Texas convened here on Washington's birthday, counselled and laid plans for political action and activity during 1924. The "lily-white" policy of the so-called republican organization was flayed and it was the consensus of opinion that the Texas reputed G. O. P. needs a general house-cleaning. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, the so-called regular republican state executive committee is elected by party convention; and, Whereas, all of the alleged members of the so-called republican state executive committee have been appointed to some federal office; and, Whereas, all of the alleged members of the so-called republican state executive committee have served as a member of Texas no office holder can serve as a member of the republican state committee is functioned only as a marriage clearing house and not to build a strong vote-gate republican organization; therefore, be Resolved, that we call upon and re-announce the regular daily elected state chairman of republican state committee and the regular daily elected state chairman of republican state committee.

These people hope that Cohen will get the power, but they do not want to believe that merely giving Cohen a job will ensure that merely giving the pain of work. They are aware that there are bigger things to fight for than jobs, especially one job, and are hopeful that political leaders in the New York area are confident that President Coolidge to use the law are taking determinations in instilling bravery and more vital importance to Negroes.

But Far More Skill Needed in Making Double. Much fun is made when a team makes a triple play. Certainly it is a rare occurrence and a factor to the opposition, for with heavy scoring in men are blotted out in an eye wink. When a spectator sees a triple kill, it will burn in his memory. He is often the one who makes one against Detroit in first season, on second and first, of course, not course. Ocb was at bat. He hated a turtle line down the back, and threw to Schoe, getting another Tischer. Schoe whipped the ball to first before the other runner could return. That was a remarkable achievement, for with nobody out, runners on base scored. The ball was thrown to the bat, heavy scoring was preaged. Tet when you analyze a triple play, it is not necessarily as difficult to gather on nobody out. Nine out of every ten triple plays are on line drives, which are not nearly as difficult to gather on nearly as difficult to gather in. Sometimes a triple play is the result of a very hard jump catch on a line, but it is not straight to an opposing insider and are known as "deck soup." When a triple play is made on a team, it is a valuable achievement, for some bad base running on the part of the opposition. Therefore, often a triple play, while spectacular and unusual, does not require nearly as much skill, and get the ball in the basket. The ball in the basket must make a clean stop, often on a difficult chance, and then get the ball back, and accurately to the other infielder. Then the second player receiving the ball must first base a dancer of a runner who is only a few steps away from the bag. But the ball in motion at the pitch, a soft catch and plenty of time to throw to the bases before they can move. In other words, it takes more skill in the majority of players to make a successful three-play game, there is no chance of players ever being hit by a crowd when they reattack three opponents on one batted ball.

REPORT We owe a debt of gratitude to the Lord for giving us health and strength to complete one of the greatest year's work in the history of the institution. We owe a debt of gratitude to us more and stronger friends for the orphanage than at any other time in its history. In beginning to read this report, we are compelled to ask this book to see you. And I believe every member of the staff, whether when I may will have to have trained office forces, Dr. K. R. C. Bucker, president, founder and general manager of Buckner's Orphan Home, was with us. He was particularly interested in and in make an educational development along all lines for the Negro youth. During his life and his help, he would support his help. He would support two or three trips or more to the Dickson Colored Orphanage every quarter, the world has now grown so busy and people are having so much of their business to look after until they are able to struggle Negro with a struggling institution. Our board of directors and trustees have done much in helping to improve the orphanage. For twenty-five years I have stood as superintendent and manager of this school. I have been superintendent. I have been the president, manager and general superintendent. In the last eight years we have been able to supervise some of the best men out of some of the best blood in America. They are able to supervise the moral light and industrial development of the Negro. They have also capped membership on the board of the Negro school. They are under their administration the Dickson Colored Orphanage has more than doubled its growth. They have also been able to buy a sufficient number of acres of land to supply our needs. This and other obligations have led to $2,000 The board has organized its work so that the institution will grow and expand. The institution is to train orphan children boys and girls—along all men of the same race. We are the Negro orphan for the places in de曼. Our board is doing much to make sure that all of my race to get out and make places for themselves. The Negro has a field coach, cooks, truck growers, manual training workers and on the team to purpose to fix this as a limit for them if they are in industry, smart, put yourselves in the field, their privilege to do no. But we feel that a common English education is necessary down in our catalog, is sufficient education to carry them through life for them to be able to teach them to it. We therefore, stress and emphasize domestic science and art for girls, and manual training for There is a great deal being said in many wars about the Negro development in a very large measure is being untrained, undeveloped and uneducated. The Negro people of Negroes were not as faithful as the white ones were that is true. The development around the fireside by mothers who had years of experience with the white race, where they had practical education as well as experience. Today the black people gather what he can gather the way he can be guided with white people in a large way, practically, in the home and in the school about it. Therefore, we must reeducate and retrain him along the lines of industry that he intends to build. Land Notes Our land obligations were met in keeping with our promise to the old and the big and the members of our board, Mr. T. J. Howard, who joined the board $25,000 and paid $10,000 in twenty-five years' loan, with privilege to pay it off at the expiration of five years, he so desired. We sacrificed to help this struggling Negro institution. He let us have the money at $ per cent. I am not sure what sacrifice he said to me: "I am opposed to your borrowing money at $ per cent; when I am not sure, I will make the sacrifice and let you have that money at $ per cent." Mr. J. T. Howard, Mr. Henry, Mr. J. Howard, Mr. B. Brown, Mr. W. L. Bardman, and Mr. W. C. Proctor are the members of the finance committee. I just heard that I would be ungrateful if I did not express a word of thanks to this committee for the work I did and the arrangements to bring this institution up to where it is. Mr. Henry C. Coke, out of his great, big heart, and a legal work of the board free grazes. I have been compelled and forced to work for the board. He has given me that advice with a smile. Not only that, he has given subscription right along each year for the work. Park and Playground for Children Given by Mr. P, P. Martinez. Mortarre than 10 years ago Mr. P. P. Mortarre gave our children this park in the city with ground, walls and see-caws. It has been a stole in itself for the children to play in. We thank them when not at work. We thank Mr. P. Mortarre in remembrance these orphan children hundred ($80.00) dollars was spent in the year by Mr. Martinez for improvements. A Word of Counsel. To my people particularly: You are in small groups who have Nerges group in large groups who have narrow $25,000 and $25,000 at a time. I knew that I could not get such an arrangement, and I knew that I could not get the directors and trustees who have for the close year worked with open heart and clarity. Our Cross and Truck This Year. While we planted for one hundred (100) hales of cotton, the shortage in hales is anything like what we expected. However, the prices encouraged us so much that we had to dig and dreden hales in cotton.

They are healthy and hearty and happy. Since this institution was organized from July 14, 1854, beginning its purpose of providing law and the charter were drawn by the court house at Gliner, on July 14, 1858, and in 1859 we began work reorganizing the court house into a large crowd of white and colored clitizens of Gliner marched from the courthouse and dedicated the grounds and buildings.

He vowed to dedicate him to the Lord. Accordingly at an early age he vowed to the Lord to help Hannah he over to the charge of Eli. Thus in his tender years he ministered to the Lord. The beautiful life of Samuel degraded to the degradation of the nation. First Prophetic Message (1 Sam. 3:1). Up to this time Samuel obeyed the one who was ever him, but the time directly he heard and obeyed the directly mage intrusted to him is a most terrible heist. He hesitated to tell it to EI, but, he said, he was the true courage which was back of his fear. He announced a fearful仗境 upon EI's house because of the IV. Samuel Established in the Prophytic Office (I Sam. B. 19-21). "And Samuel grew, and the Lord with him, and did let none of his words go to him," said Dan from Dan even unto Bea-she knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord."

The purpose of this assembly was to prepare water for the Lord, then poured water before the Lord, then sympathized their need of cleaning and the publicity confessed their sin. Before the Lord, they fasted and publicity confessed their sin. **7.** The assembly of Israel at Mipseh alarmed the Pilatesfans. They intercepted them, so they attacked them, so they decided to attack first. **8.** The interaction of Samuel (v. 11). Samuel accompanied his intercession with a burnt offering, showing that he looked for acceptance in the Lord. **9.** The Victory over the Pilatesfans (v. 10, 11). This was the result of Samuel's intervention of being dressed with a great thunder that day and dismembered them. **10.** (v. 12, 14). Samuel set up a stone between Mipseh and Sham and called it Ebenezer, who hid there, "Hidwere the Lord helped us." Shining Christians....

EOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 COHEN, POLITICS AND RACE RIGHTS. Despite the United States senate's rejection of the appointment of Walter L. Cohen, who was appointed both by the late President Harding and President Coolidge as comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., a late news item from Washington states that the chief executive of the nation, chairman of the republican national executive committee and high G. O. P. leaders have agreed that Cohen's name will not be submitted again for senatorial confirmation, but that he will occupy the office without pay. The Informer is more than delighted to see President Coolidge and some of the big republican leaders standing by their guns and admit that in these men are not playing a threw and drott game of politics? The vote in the senate against the confirmation of Cohen for this high political post was 37 to 35, the opposing senators basing their opposition and hostility chiefly on the color line. Apparently this distinguished colored American has been the stormy petrel in American politics during the Harding-Coolidge administration, and now he occupies and having twice been rejected by the senate. While we admire the courage and determination of the president and his close political advisers in the Cohen appointment, and, while we recognize the political complexion and slant, The Informer is afraid that our race often loses many of its rights while secreting affection for its prestige and importance, and not opposing the holding office, if he is competent and qualified, and can not subscribe to the propaganda and doctrine that a man's color disqualifies and renders him unfit to serve his country in high places, either during peaceful periods or martial times. But this paper is more concerned in the whole people than in a free press, and we are tired of selling our birthright for a pottage. We not only want colored office-holders, and those in the South as well as the North and East, but we also want the same rights, privileges and opportunities as other American citizens, and we are not willing to barter these rights just to enable a mere handful of citizens to have the same rights. If we must forego the federal offices to secure and maintain our sacred, constitutional and inalienable rights, warranties and preagregates, despite the fact that such a policy may smack of class discrimination, the Informer would see the entire race enjoying and sharing all the rights as other American citizens than we do. This paper holds no brief for nor against Cohen, for he is one of the country's foremost, most substantial and patriotic citizens; but The Informer fears that, even admitting that a far-racing principle is involved in the Cohen appointment, our political leaders and wire-pullers have almost lost sight entirely of the millions in the South, who are still in political and economic bondage. If these leaders would get President Coolidge and republican chiefs to exert as much effort for the enforcement of all the constitutional amendments and the basic law of the land as has been exerted and demonstrated in the Cohen matter, the race would be much more difficult to win. We would such political power that even Southern senators would think twice before opposing and objecting to a man for high office merely on account of his color or previous condition of servitude. Employing the words of the lamented Theodore Roosevelt, the first president of the United States, more than some men up and all the other members of their race down. The race has virtually sold its political权利 for a mere pittance, and the average American politician thinks that he has rewarded the colored voters for their support and ballot, when he pays some colored man a fair price rendered or elected to a group to some office. What killed the colored brother, politically, in Texas and other Southern states? It was the police and habit of going to conventions at the expatriate center in the hip pockets of the white politicians; later resulting in the favored few betraying and selling out their race for a few shekels, empty honors and political preferment. We have been blind long enough along this line, and the politicians of both races have not only pulled the wool over the eyes of so many of our people, but they have verily kept the wool over them. Isaac said his birthright for a mess of potage; for temporary satisfying of his appetite; because he was too lazy and indifferent and so little concerned in either his present or future well-being and safety. Then he had time to reflect and discovered what a bargain he had made; how he had bartered only present corn but future blessings, he waxed exceedingly wrathy and TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THEIR RACE It is generally stated that there are between 300,000 and 400,000 light-colored Negroes in this country "passing for white," both in the North, East, South and West. Then, aside from this large number who are really "passing for white" and getting by with it, we have another large colony who seem to think that they are white—who will not speak to members of their own race in public places and who paint and powder their faces to such extremes that they look like Mardi Gras celebrators or Halloween prankers. Some of this masculine ilk will never occupy a seat on the inside of a street car, but will either stand on the front or rear platform of the cars and ride. The moisture may be in keeping with the physical haw of water seeking its level, the practice is doing much to widen the gap within our own group, to retard our racial progress and render well nigh impossible racial oneness and solidarity. The Informer is not opposed to any man or woman in our group trying to improve both his or her looks and status, but this paper does frown upon and condemn those of our people who consider themselves "superior" and "privileged characters," just because of their disgust and exasperates us, it is to hear some colored person always talking about "they thought I was white," etc. We have our various "blue vein societies," whose members have as much to do with the "browns" and "chocolates" of the race as the Jews did with the Samaritans in days of yore. In science we have what we call centrifugal and centripetal forces, which are the forces that push or to pass outward from a central point, while the latter feeds or causes to approach the center or pass inward to a central point. One reason why our race is making such poor headway in this country against our common foe is because we are more given to centrifugal tendencies and practices than to centripetal ones; we are continually pulling apart and working untimely, insidiously not being satisfied with trying to isolate ourselves by a cast of color, we will go out of our way to injure and harm another member of our race, and seem to delight in such a pernicious pastime. There is no earthly, sane nor logical reason why any of us should endeavor to leave our own race, for our group possesses all types of human specimens—from the brightest to the darkest, from the most ancient to the most modern, from the most highly cultured and educated to the most uncultured and illiterate. Character, not color nor family trees, should be and must be the determining factor in the development and perpetuity of any race or nation; and those who refuse to take this fact into consideration, are simply building their house on the sand. Our race are subjected to many insults, injustices and inequalities, but we are all to rise and stand together or fail and fall both individually and collectively. One of our underlying faults is our disposition to be only interested and concerned in ourselves, individually; forgetting or caring for others, and those of our people who are in a thraldom that beggars description. Until all the links in our racial chain have the same strength, or proportionate amount thereof, the progress and advancement will be indefinitely stayed and delayed, and our oppressors will foxwat fat and affluent at our expense. We do not seem to regard this race-building task in a serious way, nor to be more concerned in fact, and fatiens than in fundamentals and fertile fellowship. Admitting that we have a conglomerate committure of conanguinity, it does appear to this paper that we should at least be arriving at the period in our racial career where we can read and teach the race in our own language, and we should subordinate our petty ideas, notions, opinions and practices for the common good of our entire race and the whole social family. We seem to be alone of all the races in this country trying to get away from our group and endeavoring to attain success and achievement. We need to take more pride and interest in our own race; stop making apologies and amends for our color; cease offering alibis or the texture of our hair; cut out this practice of trying to get away from our racial contingent and come into a realization of the out of one blood all the races and nations were originally reated. ANNUAL REPORT UNION HOSPITAL IS REVELATION To the President, Board of Directors, and Citizens of Houston, Harris County, on the 13th of April last I assumed the office of secretary of the Union Hospital in keeping with your vote at a previous meeting. I was given the duties of this kind. I know the responsibilities of a place of this kind held duties of importance that were vital to the well-being of the people. I have been possible for me to go, giving heat at the same time to other duties, often a service unattainable in looking forward to. The first was to institute a system that would act as a check in relations, respect, financial, so that the people would be kept in proper view of each person entrusted with its operation. All who have been delegated by your vote to look after these matters have lived up to their duties in spirit and practice as far as their permits have been fulfilled. In service in these operations has been gratitude, yet they have served their people, have had your interest foremost. By the system which was instituted all monies coming into the hospital were received daily receipted and turned over into the hands of the treasurer, where the monies were proved and authorized through the system of accounting which is in opera We here take pleasure in giving you a statement of receipts and exposition of the system.
