For the first time in this city's history, the "old town" is host
to the club, which is doing its spring training at the

In keeping with a practice and custom of the white league clubs, the clubs comprising the Negro National League are training in Dixie this year, and Manager Foster selected Houston because of its obvious advantages in this respect. Not only is Houston a chance to see these baseball stalks out during their training period, but they will also have an opportunity to see them in real action against the local club.

The visit of the American Giants to our city for training purposes is a distinct honor, and while appreciating this unusual honor, the Informer takes this method of extending to President Trump a party personnel a cordial and hospitable welcome to Houston.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924
CRIMES IN HOUSTON AND LUEKIN CONTRASTED.
In Luffin, a colored youth, who was accused of slaying a white commissary manager, was only saved from the mobs' wrath by the courage, determination, stamina and backbone of Sheriff Watts of Angelina County, and when his trial was held the colored boy was found guilty and given the death penalty in nine minutes! The Informer is not qualified to either prove or disprove this colored boy's guilt, for a jury has already determined that; but, in the case of Elaine Hine, it appears that any court which can assess the extreme penalty in such a short space of time, is influenced and dominated by the mob spirit.
Much credit is due Sheriff Watts, the veteran peace officer of Angelina County, for his bold and brave stand for law and order and respect for constituted authority, when he repelled the attack of the East Texas mobsters that sought to wreak its vengeance on the helpless and defenseless race youth.
The credit is not due him so much because he saved the life of a colored youth, nor should a man or public servant be landed and coerced into a criminal act. It was such an unusual and extraordinary act for either an elective or appointee public official in the South, that the Informer thinks that this sheriff deserves the praise and thanks of all citizens who believe in the supremacy of the law.
The Luffin trial and record-breaking conviction of this colored youth for slaying a white man in cold blood should be contrasted with an incident that transpired in this city.
Several white youths stoned a colored girl to death when she was found guilty of the guilty culpits were turned loose under a nominal bond; and there has not even been a wave of protest from any source.
The Lukkin youth, Booker T. Williams, is it alleged, killed the white man in an attempted hold-up; while the white youths of Houston slew the colored girl because she got off the street car "ahead of white people." In both instances we have cold-blooded murder, and any persons guilty of such acts would expiate for their crime according to the laws of the land; but neither the color of their skin nor the texture of their hair should influence the wheels of justice in meting out punishment for their crimes.
Our laws are too flexible and pliant, particularly in the South, for most cases are decided by the "pull," "color" or "standing" of the accused.
Apparently, all criminal laws were written specifically to condemn convict and punish colored violators, and to exonerate and acquit all white violators. Especially is this condition true where the black man's victim is white and the white man's victim is black.
Such procedure is causing many of our people to lose faith in the courts of the land, where decisions are rendered on the grounds of racial connection and political expediency.
In the South, the white youth, yet we deplore and regret the underlying causes for his boy's delinquency; how ever, he is only one of the many in our racial group who is a liability to his race and society and for which race and society are to blame.
As we said in a previous editorial against the infliction of the death penalty upon criminals, punishment per se does not decrease crime nor deter criminals, but our work should begin in the hope that the criminals will—and then our criminal colony, will decrease quite perceptibly.
Falling down on the job in the home, school and church, and then trying to make up the deficit through the instrumentality of the courts will not get as very far in reducing criminality and making it safer. If it is wrong for a colored boy to kill a white man, and if he must pay the extreme penalty for his crime, by what course of reasoning or criminal procedure can we hope to exonerate, acquit or assess a mild punishment upon white youths who mob and stone a girl to death on one of our leading suburban residential streets?
The growing and widespread disregard and disrespect for the lives of our land can be traced directly to the flexibility and pliancy
NEGRO PLAYERS' REVIEW | LOCAL DENTAL SOCIETY
The Houston Informer
South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper of the statutes: invoking the law in its severity on one set of people for alleged offenses and dismissing and disregarding both the statute and the law, the court brought before the bar to answer for their infractions of the law
NEGRO PLAY
Pageant to Show From 1900
Pageant to Show Progress on Stage
From 1850 to Present.
The ancients' conception of justice as being blind-folded and giving decisions without taking into cognizance or consideration the color, station or connection of the accused, seems rather overdrawn and antique; for Miss Justice, in keeping with modern style, fads and fashions, removes her hood nowadays and metes punishment on the grounds of color and not for the crime per se.
New York Times
NEGro players from companies of the American League right their "Historic Fugue" of the Progress of Negro Theatricals' from 1861 to 1915, members of the Dreams Room Choir and a steward for those of their race and profession, will revive the old-district 167th Street and Lestington Avenue of the Dreams Room, whose first three Negro troops by wagon in 1861. Three of them, Dora Dee and Ollie Gillis, will reprise the role of Imperator, the world-famous Will Iams and Walker, among a score of Negro players, in "Shuffle Along" and "Tunnin' Wild." The performance will be followed by
If our courts are to remain as temples of justice both in name, deed and truth; if they are to be real pillars of safety and protection; if they are to continue as bulwarks against despotic and mobocratic demonstrations and attacks; if this country is to be protected and protected more than the doctrine of right makes might, rather than might makes right—then justice must be color-blind, judges must render decisions according to the law and juries must arrive at verdicts from the facts adduced and introduced in the presentation of the cases.
Finally, what our section needs is more sheerls like Sheriff Willem of Angela County, strict enforcement of and rigid adherence to the laws without regard to race, creed or previous condition of servitude. Selah!
MISSIONARY PROGRAM
Trinity M. E. Church Sunday School will give a missionary program March 9, 1924, at 9:30 a.m. as follows:
THE $3,000,000 SCHOOL BOND ISSUE AGAIN.
The board of education of the Independent School District of Houston has finally decided to submit a $3,000,000 bond issue for the local schools, the same to be voted on by the voters of the district. When the new school trustees are elected on Saturday, April 5, 1924.

It was just last May that the former school board submitted a bond issue for this amount and much opposition developed to the proposition, petty politics being the main cause; with the result that the bond issue was defeated.

Certain definite promises were made by the school board to the school district to provide a certain issue, which evoked much criticism and opposition from a certain local daily newspaper, which once tried to prove itself the colored majority, and to poor, poor living conditions and inadequate school facilities, e.g.,
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Despite this opposition and defeat of the previous school bond issue, The Informer is firm in its opinion that the colored citizens of Houston should get some definite and concrete assurances from the school board before supporting or opposing this proposed bond issue.
The activities center furnished the setting for a pretty lunch on the floor of the "Y" committees were guests of the young farm workers, and the real branch. Each committee was responsible for the decoration of their table, the idea being to create a table with real decorations. The finance committee realized real money as their main "decoration." Each chairmair gave the policy of the committee, followed by a lively甩 from her co-worker. The policy of the committee of membership, as they plan a large increase in membership, was followed. After a most enjoyable evening every body left voting the staff as ideal members. The committee Tuesday morning and is still open to members. Register at ccnc.org.
The schools of this city are in a deplorable shape and a real disgrace to and reproach upon the community; particularly the buildings and physical surroundings of colored schools. The colored citizens need a new site for a high school and a modern school; the students need the present needs, but with such appointments and features that the future needs of the race will be taken care of amply and creditably. There is a crying need for a modern building at Gregory School in the Fourth Ward, the largest ward school in Texas in point of attendance; but about the worst structure and most disgraceful school building, not only in the local system, but in the entire state. There is Douglass School, located on McGown Avenue in Third Ward, another large ward school, which stands in dire need of a modern structure; to say nothing of Dunbar, Washington and other inadequate and dilapidated school buildings for colored chil
JUST US CLUB.
There seems to be a prevalent idea among our people here that the colored principals and teachers should take the lead and initiative in trying to get better buildings and facilities for colored students. This is a common practice among teachers, but of the patrons of the schools, citizens and tax payers.
On Friday evening, February 23, Ethel McLean was host to the Ethel McLean Club, Madeline Banks and Mr. Enille Long-McLean, back on back one of her long-abroad members, Miss Elise Howard. Quite a number of guests were on hand, a guest was to treat Ms. Eleanor Moore, who is seriously ill. Daniels, assistant secretary of this organization, for her apathy recovery. A delicious repot of real cured fries cracked into bacon, but biscuits and plumage frilled jelly with whipped cream was served. A group of members was sitting year will be elected. Jack Perry, Avis B. Andrew, reporters; Avis B. Andrew, reporters;
In some organized way the colored people of this school district should present their needs to the school board and receive from the board some definite and tangible assurances regarding the amount of money to be spent for colored schools, in the event the proposed bond issue is approved. The time has arrived when we must evince more interest in the things and affairs that vitally and directly concern and affect us, and not sit around idly and feast on pre-digested food. Not only ought we to organize and endeavor to get a fair share of this proposed bond issue, but we should also line up our forces for registering our approval or disapproval of the proposition at the next meeting. With the election just four weeks off, whatever we do must be done immediately, effectively and efficiently. It may be that such course can best be pursued through some regularly organized body, which is now functioning in this community for the best interests of our people and city; but by all means we must be aware that "where we come in" on this proposed $3,000,000 school bond issue.
Pred Douglas Chapter No. 23, Royal Arch Mission, will stage a musical at Wesley Chapel, Friday night, March 16. The mission promotes musical stars in the city. Mrs. H. H. Middleton is directors; 23, R. H. Middleton is artistic director. It promises to be a rare event.
COLORED Y. M. C. A.'s BIG PROGRAM
At last the colored branch of the Young Men's Christian Association has been established. The organization leased a three-story brick building at Prairie Hill and Smith Hall. It remains to be seen whether our people will subscribe to this movement and support the organization in its efforts and activism.
VITAL-DODSON WEDDING
BRILLIANT OCCASION
On Thursday evening, February 21, the home of Mr. N. Vail. 211 Broadway street, was the scene of a very interesting ceremony, the ceremonial units missing Bena Vitalis and Mr. Robert Dodson in the bodies of holy martyrs were solemnized. The ceremony was best, kind, gentle, in fact, she possesses all the qualities that so to make her a white-beaded canon creep down and carry her home, who is very highly entailed by his many friends, both old and new, in the conventional full dress.
When one sees how our young men are rushing pell mell in large numbers to destruction and moral degradation, and how they are being sent off to war, we should subscribe to our group and society, he should heartily and willingly subscribe to and back up any institution or movement that seeks to salvage and assist these young men—the future hope of our men. Whatever might have been the faults, defects and shortcomings of the Young Men's Christian Association during the World War and despite the organization's attitude towards our race in numerous communities, nobody should be more concerned and interested in our future, stillly and unreasonable to expect this interest from other sources. The charge is so often hurled at us that we are not concerned nor interested in ourselves sufficiently to warrant the assistance of our group.

We seem to fail to realize that he who would be free, himself must strike the first blow; that only the man in the ditch who strives to rise, ever gets any outside assistance, while the fellow remains there and suffers his fate.
After serving of an ice course, the
guests were encouraged to enjoy

Josephine McKenzie, later which the many Friends did
participate in celebrations and
guests.
The Informer wishes to congratulate the board of directors of the colored Young Men's Christian Association for their vision, far-sightedness, and efforts in this Airlifting and asks for them to be in office in the whole-souled and unstinted support of our people.
