Houston Informer

BEGINNING OUR SEVENTH NEWSPAPER YEAR ```markdown ``` True, we are living in a day of stranger trust. We are living in a city where it comes to giving colored citizens a rough, tortured, and canonized those who serve in our army and bratilites upon our people, should be treated with respect and honour, is still the determining and important factor in the status and roles we are involved in. We have cooled education may be no abbreviated name, neither a taxpayer (of the district) nor the race's cause one whistle. Since the chief has exemplified such forgiving spirit in resisting the fourness, humble and repentant, our office in Lowe's miniaturism and incarnation has been able to know his present and future attitude to moving their hats when at the police station. However, we are doubtful and fearful that we will have the desired effect of imposition in department not in putting to to and from bratilites. Humankind and bratilites have been by the police officers with reprimanda meted out to attacking them. Down the line, and the chief reprimanda meted out to attacking them.

However, after six years battling and fighting for what we conceive to be right, The Informer is still in existence and its editor is still in town; while the paper begins its seventy year under very favorable and auspicious circumstances. The space of six years is not a long period of time, speaking in terms of years; but when it is recalled the many ups and downs this paper has experienced, during most of those six years, the fact that its barque still sailed upon the journey of the Negroes to incite the Negroes to riot against the whites, etc. This game, originally suggested to a Harris County grand jury in 1919 by a publisher of another colored "weakly" newspaper, was played with varying for a number of years—at least until some local advertisers and merchants awoke and discovered the underhand and cut-throat back of these periodic and well-nigh constant boycots. TWO COLORED HEROES AWARDED CARNEGIE MEDALS FOR BRAVERY; SAVED WHITE LABORERS' LIVES (By the Associated Negro Press.) Pittsburgh, Pa.—Robert J. Royal, Uniontown, W. P.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Robert J. Royal, Uniontown, Pa., and William W. Cagle, Baltimore, Md., were among those included in the latest award of Carnegie Hero Medals. They both rescued white men from danger. Royal is a miner. He rescued Albert E. Royal from a cave-in in a mine. While Roby and Royal were clearing a mine entry, which had been blocked by falls, a large chunk of slate fall, striking Royal on the back, temporarily paralyzing his legs, and also falling on Roby, breaking his legs and pinning him to the ground. Royal crawled fourteen feet to a point in the entry which had been protected by timbering. Upon calling to Roby and learning that he was injured and unable to move, Royal crawled to Roby, using his arms and dragging his legs. He raised the chunk off Roby with considerable effort and held it up, using his left elbow and forearms as braces, while Roby moved the chunk down to the ground. Small pieces of shell were found near their cave-in. Roby and Royal then crawled to safety, and Royal dragged himself into a mine car and drove a horse hitched to the car two thousand feet for help. He was disabled seven months and Roby nine months from their injuries. Roby was rescued by Royal C. Binbrink, white gas company fortnightmen from suffron in this year. Binbrink entered a manhole six feet deep and almost immediately was overcome by illuminating gas, which was leaking from a broken main. Cagle lowered himself into the hole and lifted Binbrink, enabling him to get to the top and grasp his arm and pull him out. Cagle, feeling the gas affecting him, then raised his hand and several men at the top reached into the hole and drew him out. May 3, 1923, On Train near St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Mr. Richardson: Just to say again to you what I have said to you before, and many times to others about you—that I admire with all my soul your courage and loyalty to purpose. Without courage such as yours, there is no hope. May God defend your life, but if you die, may the gift of your courage fight on for your race and its children. Yours truly. WM. PICKENS, Field Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. pany a new lease on life (officials claimed that jitners had them en route to cemetery), yet the thanks and appreciation they get is: "You d— 'nggers stay out of our pretty, new buses; they're for whites only! 'Nggers and dogs not allowed!" If the local Inter-Racial Committee wants to render a real service to the race and community, and save the street car company from legal tangles (unless the company's high-priced lawyers are just hitching for a showdown in court), the committee will get busy at once and either get accommodations in all buses operated here, for colored passengers or have special buses operated on all these bus lines for colored passengers.

Andrews threw open the doors to his grocery store, 408 Millam, to formally welcome his customers and friends to pay his remodeled store a visit and partake of the many good things tended all free on that day. The store was crowded from early morn until late at night, and Mr. Andrews was literally showered with felicitations for the beautiful store that he now has, and the modern equipment installed to take care of his large trade. Really, to appreciate the remodeled store, one must actually see it for himself or herself; for it is practically a re-newed rather than re-modeled store—complete, modern and sanitary in every respect. DALLAS UNDERTAK Woll Stalk, Dallas, or the People understaking the last seven days in the day of Mr. and Mrs. T. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 False rumors galore were circulated throughout the community and state concerning The Informer and its editor; yet very few, if any, of the rumor-mongers, particularly those of other races, had ever seen or read a copy of the book they were trying to consign to perdition and profound night. What did The Informer say or do during those years to make it a despised and rejected publication? Why did a clique of Sengambians try to put the paper and its editor "in bad" with "de white folks?" This paper has never engaged in mud-slinging, airing out the domestic affairs of our people nor in personal attacks upon individuals with whom the editor disagreed. The Informer has pitched its battle along the high plane of the democratic movement, a democracy that is still-embracing and for an Americanism that knows neither color, creed nor race. Public sentiment in this community has undergone an almost complete metamorphosis, due largely to the editorial contents of The Informer; while the presentation of the race's cause at the bar of public opinion has been instrumentally changed, the several instances, with a favorable verdict here and there. The Informer has simply been a voice crying in the wilderness of oppression and repression, "Abolish the double standard of citizenship in this country and section (one for white citizens and another for colored people); make the crooked paths straight; dethrone Judge Lynch's court, with the judge's authority to impose legal discrimination, jim-j Crowmind" and kindled his invoices and institute the Golden Rule in men's and race's dealings with each other, and let us all labor together in one common cause for the peace, progress and perpetuity of the republic. While discussing these issues and matters from various angles throughout these six years, the main tenor of our theme was the need to consign the public to perdition and profound night. The Informer, in merely reciting some of its trying and vexing ordures during these six years, holds no spleen in its MAMMOTH CROWD APPLAUDED FETE AT PARK TUESDAY RACE STUDENT AT AMHERST WINNER OF SCHOLARSHIP RACE STUDENT AT AMHERST WINNER OF SCHOLARSHIP Mercer Cook, Son of Will Marion Cook, Entitled to Attend the Son-varie in Paris, France. "Washington," D'C.

He made PhD Beta Kappa two weeks ago. He recently won an anatomical prize of $50 and is enriched in the big anatomical context won in the soon comes New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, $8 Fifth Avenue, has received and made public a letter from colored citizens of Boley, Oklahoa, a town in the southeastern United States, in a local white paper to the effect that colored people had warned white men to stay out of the town after dark. The news item, which the colored people object to, stated that there was a plan to force colored people to inscribe, "White Man, Don't Let The Sun Set On You." The colored people objected to their registration, judging the case they have taken to court involving dancers in their registration. The case even raised the question, ever that such a sign warning them away, is in the neighboring town of Fort Wayne. DENTISTS RENDERED EXCELLENT PROGRAM Without trying to cover too much territory, we venture the assertion that no city in America has a group of dentists who can render such a program as the one executed at Mount Vernon M. E. Clark, and Burnett, Monday night. Not only did these dentists deliver helpful and practical lectures regarding the importance of oral health, but their musical selections were exceptionally good and the audience enjoyed a rare musical treat; to respond to encores, Dr. R. O. Roest, who was called upon to short health talks in the absence of a medical professional, proved himself more than equal to the emergency and imparted some timely information to his auditors. Excepting the talks by Dr. R. O. Roest, the entire program was rendered by the local dentists; and it was indeed a program designed, enlightenment and entertainment. STYLE SHOW-FROLIC BRILLIANT AFFAIR The style show and frolic given at the Odd Fellows Temple last wednesday of the W. Y. C. A. Coopersmith Club of the Y. W. C.

Popular youngsters appeared in the show, disporting themselves in the latest styles from the large and appreciative audience that witnessed the show. After auditorium all required to drill room. A fitting climax was added to the evening's program with refreshments. journalistic heart against any of these malefactors and evil-doers; for the law of retribution has taken care of some of them, and this same unyielding, inexorable and immutable statute will hardly overlook the remainder of that group. This paper also realizes that no newspaper, which has a real editorial policy, can expect to receive popular approval at all times, as it relates to its editorial utterances; but because men differ and disagree with certain editors in or the policy of a publication, is no sane, reasonable or rational why they should seek to destroy the paper and villify, malign, misrepresent and plan against the physical life of the editor. Locally, The Informer has contended for better schools for colored children; for better living conditions in exclusive colored residential sections; for the abolition of brutality upon prisoners and citizens by local police officers; for a program of inter-racial goodwill and amity; for more recognition and consideration from the city officials; for the recognition of the need for an united effort to put over some worth while program for our group and community, to cease our internal bickering and lay aside all weights that hinder and impede us in running the race successfully to the goal. The Informer offers no apologies for its past policy, and looks forward to the future with faith, confidence and optimism; for "nothing is settled until it is settled right." We have guarantees if we closed this article without expressing our deep concern for the safety of thousands of readers and subscribers who have stood by the ship in both fair and stormy weather, as well as local and foreign advertisers who have employed advertising space in The Informer during these six years. With your continued support, assistance and material encouragement, as well as moral, we hope to build The Informer into a national leader, as close to a case to be sectional—The South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper assumes national import, not only in its editors as obtains at present, but in circulation and influence.

Selah! Race Doctor and Lover Beaten Mississippi Huns Assaulted Colored Physicians and Sweetheart in New Automobile Black Man Too Prosperous As Usual in Dixie, No Arrests Made. New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of C-ored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, has received a report of a brutal assault committed by four Malespmpf whites near Meridian, upon Dr. Charles Smith, a local colored physician, and Miss Myrtle Wilson, his flances. The whites stopped the automobile in which the colored doctor and his flances were riding, dragged them from their seats, administered a severe beating to both and fired shots which wounded the colored doctor in the head and may cost Miss Wilson her eyesight. The automobile was riddled with gunshot and pistol bullets. A local informant of the N. A. A. C. P. states: "Dr. Smith is Miss Wilson's fiance and is quite a promising and successful physician at Meridian. He has just recently bought a new car and is building a home. I know Miss Wilson personally; she is highly respected and regarded as a young woman of excellent ability and character. She taught night school at Tom Galoo College while taking a course there until called home. He was by illness in her family. She was to be married in June. At the time of writing this letter, it is feared that Miss Wilson will not regain her eyesight." No cause for the assault upon the co-worker doctor and the young woman is given access to the local whites of the doctors new car and new home.

As the umbrella umbrella stand, with the dotted tib bit basin at the bottom, stood in a gloomy hall holding two specimens of mankind a chief protection against rain—a black cotton shirt, a white tunic hall, half, grasped the white and red hand of the silk umbrella, drew it stealthily from its furniture shelf of waltown, and moved cautiously with it toward the door by a wisp of a girl out into the rain. She came suddenly her destination—a damp corner, with a young man standing impatiently in it, holding a black bit of gum. "Did you get it?" he demanded with masculine abruptness. "Yea," breathlessly, Tididly, a bit heathen. "And—and you get it—do you possibly own a very different "it" from him. He nodded. With a significant protective gesture he took her small umbrella, closed it, and tucked it weeping. Back in the dim hall, with its funny, old-fashioned stand, the deserted storm shelter at the bitter waters did not remain neglected for long. A scrawny hand, with the bone-fingered talons of age, clamped it tensely, almost angily, and maneuvered it to the street. The search through the damp-danked streets was fruitless. Weary, the old man returned to the dim hall and to the dwarfive armchair, "he murmured at intervals, 'gone.' A door laummed in the carefree exuberance of youth. The old man sat up sternly, 'Who's the door?' No sound, no motion, came from the black pit beyond the door. *Who's there?' judder. *Who's there?' answer, soft and timidly hinted to "Me, daddy—it's me." Instead of stiffening normally, the man gave less leau. "Thyre—in come in—you came back!" Uncertainly. A brief phrase, "Yes-wi—" a vague statement of pretense, "I gave you." "Not to tell you we were going away, to tell you" Sudden alarm quickened the man's high-pitched voice. "May I have a mate?" The fumbled scratching of a brimstone tip, a lifted lamp chimney—and there was much-needed light—was the young man of the street corner, still holding the two umbrellas, black and red. The man was indisputably in order. "Tom, please." The girl held out a hand to the young man. One by one, he gave her two papers—legal and medical. She respectfully. She spread them on the table. "My birth certificate, dded—" she baked a little at the name. "I found it." The old man's deep-sunken eyes glittered a moment, but the gloom faded. "Why?" he asked. she slow distinctions. "Only that—you're not my dad," a bit coldly, he head fell forward weakly, in bowing present shame. "I have been harsh, Thyrum—forgive me." Impulsively Thyrum leaned forward and kissed the forehead, wiping wings of hair with a soothing hand. "It was in that room"—the old man pointed directly overhead. "Your mother—a childhood friend from adolescence. You took her in, broken hearted and alone. When she—he paused, omitting the word. "She had asked me if I would—" he said. "I waved a waveering voice broke, and I—I" "It's all right—daddy," came the soft, soothing voice. "But you—you can away!" he accented. "She let fall her eyes with winnows embarrassment. "Yes. I—I had to, daddy." The man became aware of the third occupant of the room, who was still standing, awkwardly holding two umbrellas. "Who—" Thyra hastened to fill the breach. "The other paper—our marriage lilac." Totteringly, the shaggy figure got to his feet. Slowly the old man turned. He smiled overspread the bewhiskered mouth. "You've come back," said the lips. He turned again to the young man. "The umbrellas, lad, reaching for them. "Let me took her. He picked up his, by the chair. Again in the d hall, a gaud hand placed three umbrellas—first a black, then a white, then a funny old stand. He gaved at them in the hary glow from the inner room. He turned the younger black to him together caringly. He mailed lightlyently. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dess of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (© 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for May 24 SAUL BEGINS HIS GREAT CAREER LESSON TEXT - Agr. 8.10-21 GOLDEN TEXT - I determined not to know anything among you, save Jude Christ, and Him crucified." - Cor. 22 PRIMARY TOPIC - How God saved Saul From Danger in Danaucas. - Saul Preech in Danaucas. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—I Saul a Botanist With the Disciples and Adult TOPIC—Courage in Witnessing for Christ 1. Saul Praised Christ in Damascus (v. 19, 22). 2. Saul's Fellowship With the Disciples (v. 19). After Saul was baptized he remained certain days with the believers in Damascus (v. 19). How beautiful to think of him, Saul said, "the place one was so passionately bent on their destruction was now enjoyment fellowship with the disciples, Preaching in the Synagogues (v. 20). Saul, like every one who is really converted, begins to tell of the new heaven and the new earth. Saul he goes to save others. His message concerned the delity of Christ. His doctrinal belief is summed up in six chapters. The People Amazed (v. 21). They knew that the very one who had been the ringleader in persecuting the Christians came to Damascus for the express purpose of bringing them bound to the chief priest, was now passionately attached and mentally sought to destroy. When a man is saved there ought to be a change as to cause the people to notice. 4. The Jews Confounded (v. 22). Saul retired into Arabia for three years. During this time he was taught the Arabic, and he was sent to Jerusalem for 1:17-18). Saul increased in spiritual strength and confounded the Jews, proving that Jesus was not the Kissah. II. Saul Escaped from the Jews (vv. 23-26). He used the Scriptures with such skill that Jesus could answer him. Finding the argument against them, the Jews took counsel how they might destroy Saul. So Intent were they upon killing him that they would attack him and night that they might take him. When this became known to the disciples, they let him down at night in Jerusalem. II. Saul Visits Jerusalem (vv. 29-29). This Journey to Jerusalem was in stark contrast with the one from Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was an a leader of an important expedition under the authority of the Jewish offspring of the city, and distinguished in the council of the Jewish nation. Now he is an outcast, disowned by his countrymen, and feeling disheartened by the circumstances, but he knows the fellowship of the Lord Jesus whom he once hated. I. Suspected by the Disciples (vv. 20-21). The believers at Jerusalem had not been fully about Saul's conversion. They had tried to preserve the Arabic, and his preaching at Damascus after his return. Therefore they regarded him as a spy. "Part of the reason for his conversion was the good opinion of honorable men." 2. Barnabas' Confidence in Saul (v. 27) Barnabas was a man filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 11.24) and therefore he was able to converse with Saul. He was in reality a "son of consolation" and here showed his compassion. 3. Saul in Fellowship With the Disciples (v. 28). The content merely to visit with the brethren. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. A conspiracy similar to that one at Damascus was formed against Saul. When the brethren knew of it they sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life was in danger everywhere except among the Jews. He was placed in the place of his birth. The first and best place for one's testimony is in his home. Saul's conversion was typical of the conversion of the Jewish nation. He was baptized by a spiritual revelation of Jesus Christ to them, and when they accept Him as their Savior and Messiah, they will go forth as witnesses to the Gentiles.

Miss., who proudly boasts of his record as the chief chicken thief in the rebel army during war of rebellion, visited New Orleans last week on the site to the Confederate reunion at Dallas.

Stop the managering in his heart, and his springs will fly apart, Which kills this Iron Donkey, dead as hanging. "Tablecloth" Spread by One of the most interesting sights to be seen in cloudland is the "spreading of the tablecloth" over Table mountain in South Africa. When a southerly or southeastern wind sweeps in from the southern ocean the mountain barrier deflect is upward, the moist air cools by expansion, and a dense white cloud spreads over the summit. It is particularly striking because a perfectly cloudless sky generally prevails at the same time over the surrounding country. The cloud forms a level layer and pours over the leeward edge of the mountain, dissolving and disappearing at a fairly definite level. Thus the picture of a "tablecloth" is complete. The wind that causes the cloud is always more or less violent, and after making the sweep of the mountain it descends in a cataract into the city of Cape Town, which it fills with dust and upreach. The suddenness with which the cloud forms is a source of danger to persons who make the ascent of Table Mountain. 14-Declaimed 17-Overcrowd grasping person 18-Hand grip 21-Invitable 22-Wear-winged insect 24-Wear-winged insect 26-Famous 27-Dutry 28-English queen, last of Stuart suverigna 29-Author 30-Name of Indians 34-Approximate 38-Beech 39-Marie's first word. 40-Like The solution will appear in next issue.

"It's my father's half-sister and her three boys," said the pupil anxiously, "and I don't do anything without do without use, because those boys always act so dreadfully."

In token of renewed friendship Mexico in Mexico United States not an olive branch, but a stalk of grass. Thousands of head of cattle from regions in the southwestern part of Mexico are dried from drought, are being sent into Chihuahua and Sonora where grass is luxuriant and where in some areas it is nearly wiped the native herds out of existence. Largest of Mexican states and richest in resources, Chihuahua has an area of 10,000 square miles but a population only two-thirds that of Pittsburgh. Were its lands allocated among its citizens every five years? Such allotments would make many quintettes of owners fabulously rich for a Crescent might envy the wealth of some Chihuahua cities. Best of all, the Ecuadorian Galápagos, 17 miles southeast of Chihuahua City, discovered in 1708, but not extirpated from them, have come from Mexico. Many of the silver mines possess one of 50, 60 and 76 per cent metal, and there came from one Chihuahua mine. There are also 300,000 pounds of almost pure silver. Gold, lead, iron and copper also are mined. Farming is a major industry in the region, and the agricultural output has been estimated, under normal conditions, to be only one-fourth as valuable as the mineralogy, and the vegetation cattle-running has always been extensive. But the most recent, and potentially one of the most valuable industries with the vast forests, Reins and turpentine were derived from some of the mountain timber. Four-fifths of Chihuahua consists of undulating table-lands, for the most part covered with the offering extremes of temperature from the bleak snowdaked peaks in winter to the oppressive heat of valleys in mid-autumn. State, taken as a whole, there are extensive arid, desertlike areas. Traces of the Apaches, once the "cruelest and most treacherous race in the world," have been hung in husana, as are many cliff dwellings, Astce mounds and various other rulers, which have not been studied. The conquest of these Apaches was one of the most effort toward peaceful development. Rich Mining Region. No part of northern Mexico appears any too inviting from the car windows of the railway which enter the countryside. The aspect is as marked in Sonora as elsewhere. This slater state to Chihuahua, lying next to the west, is the second most populated region of the richest mining regions in the world. But the desert hides its best. Far back in the oat-tainted hills are animals in the remains of 'dobu huts' stranger sees only the numb mistry of the half-naked Indians, sheltering like animals in the remains of 'dobu huts' stranger sees only the numb mistry of the past ten years. The wide plains are empty of life. The herds have gone to feed the revoil. The change in plant and animal life and industries as you pass from Arizona into Mexico is very slight for the first 200 miles or more. Had the herds gone to a house, and may be charged you dons on that new camera, you might not have realized that you had crossed a frontier from the rolling grass ranges of northern Sonora and strike the Yagui valley beow Guymuys that is a new world rebound. The vast coast of the live of the vast coastal plains begins. The very richness of Sonora's mineral deposits and the fact that 60 percent of the land is covered by the miles, pausing neither to sow nor tended, tended to keep the country back. worked an agricultural minute. Aided by American soil experts, plant wizard John Rowe, the Roosevelt dam, it has cleared and watered thousands of acres and established a plover American colony. The dam is a tributary ditch that the Indians knew is replaced by long, deep canals with miles of laterals and take-off, and giant dredges that have been used to once the peon toiled with his furlail oil. Oil-burning tractors and marvelous gang-plows have crowded out the city, and scratching sticks of a decade ago. Yankees of Mexico. In Sonora the American idea has taken particularly deep root. Mexicans from other states call these Bohemian children because of their thrift, advancement and close relations with the Americans. Practically all families of the Mexican children are raised in their children to schools in the United States. These youngsters, returning to Mexico for the last time (and their Yankee slang), they wear American-made clothes, dance all the popular "steps," and display an understated sense of pride, only make of them more friendly and helpful commercial neighbors. Even now the average home in Sonora is equipped with American wares—the Yankee sewing machine, the plane, graphophone, kitchen range, brass bed and stove, and a few other items with Uscan Sam's factories our Mexican neighbors get most of their ready-made clothing, their shoes, hats, food and sporting goods, canned foods and a smoothing tool. Even with the extinction of herds the revolution wrought, the ratio of meat-bearing humans to human beings has fallen by more than any other country, because so much of the land is fit only for grazing. The lands of imported Mexican cattle, and in years to come we shall necessarily buy more and more beef from below the Rio Grande. Cowmen from our homeland, and from Mexico, and on its vast, unfenced ranges some Americans have built up enormous herds. Some of these some forage grasses that cover the great Arizona ranges are also found in Sonora and Sinaloa. The beans of the mesquite tree are also found in Arizona, and the uncommon sight to see a Mexican heifer stand on her hind legs and reach for the higher twigs of this succulent Wild Cattle Roam. In some of the mountains many so-called "wild cattle" roam at large, unbranded and free, timid as deer, or their forebears have strained from their grazing. In many milk cows at large, in all these ranch homes condensed milk in generally to. To rope, throw, and milk cows, the forebears take the task, and frequently "Mollie, the kind-faced, cow," will, when released, promptly chase her captures up the nearest tree. It is a great same country, at irrigation time in the Yaqu valley, particularly, the wild fowl become a pest, for this west coast lies on one of the most fertile valleys, and are ducks, geese, brant and curlew and many, varieties of shore birds. Here also the California or "vale" quail is amazingly abundant, especially among the mountainous areas. Around unusually good feeding grounds one will find these birds, not in coves, in in armies, frequently found in the woods. Among the rolling foothills, where they feed on acorns, myrtales of "white wing" or *Sonora* nopalms make their home. At nightfall these birds flock to the mountains for irrigation ditches by the thousands. Here is an American happy hunting ground for those who love the rod and reel, and for those who prefer better known, Guaymas may become a popular winter resort of soft breeds, blue seas, and ideal January outdoor days, with an ideal hunting country.

With a colored population of fully 50,000, Houston only has one colored metropolis, with plain clothes officers. All white patrolmen cover their beats in pairs, while our lonely colored patrolman must "tread the wine-press" by his "lonesome" and is at the mercy of hoods, wudgums and gangsters in the event they decide to raise a "rough house." When it comes to parks, the present city administration has designated a park for emancipation. Park, which the city never bought and set aside as a colored park and playground, which the colored citizens of Houston and Harris County turned over to the city for such purposes; and yet, with the exception of a make-shift pavilion, the city has spent virtually nothing to beautify, improve and enhance the value of this ten-acre tract of land. City fathers and city mothers and andaken hold forth on the campus of Emancipation Park and thereby destroy and trample down the beautiful flowers and shrubbery planted there by the faithful and loyal women of our race, who have labored hard and contributed of their means to add to the civic attractiveness of the park; since they tired of waiting for the city council and colored park board to do something to enhance and improve this respect at the only colored park (7) in the entire city. The Informer is not "against" the present city administration per se, but this paper is bitterly opposed to the present policy manifested by the city fathers towards our people with regard to public improvements and civic considerations, which are rather conspicuous by their absence. If taxation without representation was tyranny in colonial days, then what is taxation today without either representation or civic and administrative control? Along this line, city fathers, The Informer has pitched its battle and will contend there with might and main, if it takes all summer! Selah! EDITORIALS HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 REACHING CONCLUSIONS ILLOGICALLY. The Informer has been reliably informed that certain city officials seem to think that the editor of this paper is stubbornly antisocial and bitterly opposed to the present municipal administration; that this paper is always "jumping on" the city fathers and opposing their civic programs and measures, and that this editor is unfair and ungrateful with his editorial darts and journalistic tirades. This is only a half truth, which is worse than a base prevarication; for The Informer has always taken the position that it cured wise and best, often supporting the propositions submitted in part or in whole, but always having the backbone and priority to let the city fathers and public know this paper's position and attitude.

The Informer has supported unequivocally and unlead the majority of the measures and bond issues submit-proposed by the Holcombe administration since the present was inducted into office, yet the race has received very visible evidence for its advocacy and support of these issues.

Others will be visited from time to time and our impressions and observations published.) Readers of The Houston Informer have noticed that several colored restrooms are now available in the market in Houston during the last year, and, perhaps a number of our people have visited and inspected some of these additions. Last Sunday afternoon the writer motored to College Court, a restricted, high-class colored near Houston College. This addition originally consisted of 44 choice city rooms, and the rest of the building has been purchased by our people, the number is considerably smaller now. This addition is owned by München and Clarkson, a real estate firm in the city. München has been selling really to colored people for the last decade or more, having placed Eldredy Addition, the early days of the development on Houston's great waterway. Mr. Clarkson connected with the Houston Foot St. Dispatch, and has always manifested a friendly interest in the colored people of Houston. College Court is really a beautiful place, with lovely groves and shade areas, and electric lights are now being put in, as Mr. and Mrs. Abe Grabenheimer are adding this addition at the corner of Gross street and West Gray avenue. College Court is bounded on the north by a street on the east by a tract of unimproved land, on the south by West Gray and on the west by a street right in the path of Houston's residential growth, expansion and activity. All adjacent and surrounding land is colored, and several exclusive white residential areas are being opened up and developed within a stone's throw No other colored addition has ever been placed on the market with such a wide range of colors as the chief among which are: No stores will be permitted in the addition and sale of a house that does not cost at least $2500, especially those who own an apartment and drive over the city looking over the various additions, colored and white, should just buy a house that themselves the natural beauty and civic attractiveness of this homestead.

Everything is "peaches" again at the client's request, and the four officers who were discharged pended for their alleged participation in the "chastisement" of Editor Love, the editor of *The New Yorker*, and harmony prevails in the contemptual home once more. Now isn't that just to sweet. How good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity. Some people, we are not included, are criticizing the chief for the sudden change of front, but what could you expect? Haven't those policemen been in the office all the time, and isn't it true that Editor Love hasn't nor none of his dark skinned relatives or friends, so what could his fitness be in good repair? Now some other folks are advocating the petitioning of the Humane Societies and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to take up the cause of Houston's colored editors, two of whom have been recipients of "municipal hospitality" in the past few years. They argue that these societies have sufficient precedence on the public and action of the matter, in that these two women belong to a group of commonly referred to by the daily papers as "Burly Brutes," which classifies them as dumb animals. If that isn't sufficient we can assure the ladies and gentlemen that they are indeed animals, and at the time of receiving such hospitality(?) receptions were very dumb. We acknowledge that the editors are not deserving of the same consideration and activity in their behalf as the mules and dogs are getting from these lovers of fair play, but since they have been placed in the same category, there should be no discrimination. And now there is another thing to be added to the list of facts we must sell(s) to avoid committing—trying to kill his or doctor's offices. We have already resolved to keep our tall light trimmed and burning day and night, and to forever purchase no more hats. If we go bareheaded we won't have any to pull off in public places. Fikh University is to have a new president, as an aftermath of the student protests.

Tom Lee, an ordinary colored laborer in a construction gang, about 16 years old, drives fifty miles from the scene of an attempted annihilation of several Negro laborers employed by the Standard Oil Company's day's work for a day's pay, is being herded far and wide as a hero.
