Houston Informer

Gen. "Bull"-ard's Attack Refuted SPINGARN MEDAL GIVEN TO JOHNSON HOME EDITION It is its endeavors to give the colored race a raw and rotten deal in various sections of the South, these in official authority pull off some awful stunts ever and also, one of which has been the result of the most recent in the bus situation in Houston. Mackinon has been made in this paper mainly of the arrest of a race of a heavy tax payer and member of the state family here, because of the poor condition of the business of the Houston Electric Company, that runs right in front of her door. This colored woman, when McKin-ney Avenue was paved, bore her part in the development of the business of this street; while one of her white neighbors directly across the street from her, refused to bear such expense and the street is still unpaved in front of this home owned by whites, yet the home is in front of the home owned by colored. Here comes the inconsistency of the situation: The buses (East End) operated by the local traction company, a public service utility, employ a few of the same people who are in the expense of the colored woman (for these buses are so constructed that they run best on paved streets); yet they are colored women, who made it possible to pass through the街道 through the街道 through the街道, and not ride in these buses and was directed and humiliated when she died/to ride as a passenger in one. On the other hand, the members of the bus are not in the same way to bear their expense of paving their part of this street, and, had it been left entirely to them, would compel the local traction company to operate its buses on an unpaved section of this street. The bus is not in the same way to ride on a part of the paved street made possible by the money of this colored woman who can not hardly look at these "pretty little buses" without putting them here and there in the party of being interested and humiliated. If there is the remotest lots of fairness and justice in such a situation, then hijacking is a more honorable vocation and more lofty calling than the office of the minister of the government. Furthermore, the local traction company is creating several colored tax payers on McKinsey Avenue just like it is doing Mrs. Estus; for several of our people own property on this thoroughfare, are paying for the paying recently done in widening the street, pay taxes into the municipal coffers, and yet can not ride on or in these common carriers. That the buses are common carriers is apparently recognized by the Houston Electric Company, in that the company grants passengers (shall we not say, WHITE?) transfers from the buses to the bus fleet, and vice versa and its student books and tickets state that passage is good on either buses or street cars. Despite this fact, colored citizens are not permitted (by RULE OF THE HOUSTON ELECTRIC COMPANY), to ride in these buses, yet all of the bus lines are operated through colored residential and quasi-residential sections, excepting one. This denial to the race of its constitutional, inherent and God-given rights and warranties is not segregation, but rank, wilful, damnable and diabolical discrimination; and we are a bunch of moral cowards and two-legged jackasses to sit around and permit the traction company, or any other public service utility, to be forced to put up with the worse and we don't want them to ever be. If the Negro men and women in Houston will not act in a cause that affects them so vitally and directly as this, then there is no redemption for us, and we are worse than human slaves and at the same time are architects of our own fate—and we don't mean perhaps! AWARDING DEGREES At its recent commencement, Paul Quinion College of Waco awarded the John W. Wilts, along with Prof. J. E. Smith, grand chancellor and grand keeper of records of the College of Physicians of Texas. Mr. Wilts is not an avian an alumnus of Paul Quinion, but the school recognizes him for his distinguished service and scholastic attalments and did him and the school recognize his contributions to the representative products, both in the school room, fields of fraternal insurance and we often wonder why the illustrious sons and daughters of Bishop College never receive any coronary degrees from the school. Practically every alumnus of Bishop that has received an honorary degree from the school has been honored by some other school; yet no colored institution of learning in Texas or the Southwest has produced alumni of Bishop College daughters as Bishop College. Bishop's products are in the life of our race, yet the school steadfastly and consistently refuses to or recognizes this fact and tender honor where honor is. We know several graduates of Bishop College upon graduation from the school degree. THE HOUSTON INFORMER WINS JUILLIARD AWARD AGAIN MISS ERNESTINE JESSIE COVINGTON.

South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Colonel Hayward Recites Valor of Black Soldiers of His Regiment in World War—Commanding General of 92nd Division Praised Heroism of Same Warriors "Bull"-ard Seeks to Discredit—N. A. A. C. P. Calls Southerner's Article Unjust and Cities' Instances of Bravery to Disprove Race Cowardice—Same Old Anti-Negro Propaganda a la Dixie—Boches Called Negro Soldiers "Black Devil" and French People Worshipped Them. Special to The Informer. To cease firing at 11 a.m., when the New York City.—The conclusion which General Robert Lee Bullard drew in his article yesterday in the Herald Tribune from the cowardice of the 92nd Division, a Negro organization, that Negroes were useless as a condition of the Government, and that the population for the Advancement of Colored People and was not corroborated by William Hayward, former United States attorney, who commanded a Negro regiment in France. Colonel Hayward's regiment, the 369th Division, was a organization, formerly the 15th Regiment of the National Guard of this state. The 92nd was a draft division. "We were at no time in contact with the 92nd Division," said Colonel Hayward, "because the Negroes in my division were exactly the opposite to that described by General Bullard." The 935th, brigaded with white French troops, was under fire. 191 days later, the 936th, was also in contact with the following letter was received from James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "The most unjust and defamatory article that has yet come to my attention is the installment of General Robb, the General of the Army, who is the Herald Tribune of June 9, on the subject of Negro troops in France. General Bullard does not stop with recording alleged facts. He utters general evaluations to the effect that Negroes are not being满洲兵, but are far-righter, and by the tenor of his article, with its race prejudice, and its aspersions upon a group of American citizens, shows himself to be completely out of accord with the fundamental principles of the American Government, and has been judged on the basis of his individual worth and achievement. It may contribute to an understanding of this extraordinary article of General Bullard to know that he was born in Alabama, one of the Southern states with the worst of the South for its treatment of colored people." to cease firing at 11 a.m., when the armistice became effective. Citation From General Goybet. “Furthermore, Negro regiments of the projected 93rd Division, brigadied in France with French troops, were sent to the army by General Goybet, who told them they had ‘tent glory’ to the 157th Division, had ‘surpassed his hopes, had progressed in nine days of fighting through nine kilometers of power, and had taken nearly 600 prisoners, fifteen guns of various calibers, twenty mine throwers, nearly 160 machine guns, an enormous amount of engineering material, and a large number of power-ladies, and brought down by artillery fire three enemy airplanes. “Perhaps, in view of the alarms and apassions to which the Herald Telegram has given, the special purpose of this mission is to provide, for you, the fair enough to permit still another quotation from the general order of General Goybet: “Your troops have been admirable in their service. You must be proud of the courage of your officers and men, and I consider it an honor to have them under my command. “The bravery and dash of your regiment won the admiration of the 2nd Division, and the service of the 3rd, and themselves, vered in warfare. Thanks to you, during those hard days, the division was at all times in advance of all other divisions of the army corps. I am sending you all my thanks and thanks to the transmit them to your subordinates.” “I called on your wounded. Their morale is higher than any praise.” “Such scornful indictment of a叛国贼, which is generally bear a reply on its own face, in that it shows the prejudiced state of mind of the writer. But since the general pretends to be writing history, we may as well inject a few facts into the situation.” Animosity Is Charged. Matthew V. Boutte, Negro commandant of the Colonel Charles Young Post, American Legion, 2376 Seventh Avenue, said last night that General Bullard's story of the failures of the 92nd Division, a Negro division, was "most Boutte said that General Bullard had an animosity toward the Negroes because he was a veteran of the veterans had expected him to condemn the division. In any future war, he would have been under men like General Bullard, who had been dropped because they were found to involve Negroes in the general mentioned, Boutte said, had been dropped because they were found to involve Negroes in the general mentioned.

He apart three years in graduate work at Calumba University with the degree of L.L. d. from Talladega College, Talladega, Alabama, in 1917, and then to the university, d. C. in 1928. For several years Mr. Johnson was involved in the colored high school in Talladega. He was a member of the Florida bar in 1897 and practiced law in Jacksonville until 1901, when he met with his brother, J. Rosemond Johnson in writing for the light opera stage. Many of the once popular songs he wrote were the result of this collaboration. In 1904, Mr. Johnson was appointed associate deans, being transferred to Corinto, Nicaragua in 1909. While in Corinto looked after the interests of his connec tion, he was involved in the revolution which resulted in the downfall of Zelahya, and through the help of his knowledge of Spanish has been put to use in the translation of a num merical translation for the English libretto of "Goyezuela," the Spanish grand opera produc tion of the Metropolitan Opera of New York.

Tuskegee, Ala.—Set off by funeral exercises of the simplest sort, the remains of Mrs. Margaret J. Murray Washington, widow of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, were laid to rest Tuesday afternoon near the grave of her deceased husband. Telegrams from many women's clubs, educational institutions, the trustees, and one from President Coolidge were read at the ceremonies. Dr. Robert E. Moton, principal of the school, was the only speaker and he called attention to the marvelous example she had set for the womanhood of all races during her thirty-seven years of service at Tuskegee Institute. Many Southern newspapers showed their stamp when, in chronicling the news of her death, they failed to pay her the respect due all women and mothers, referring to her as Margaret Washington, and as "a Negress."

Box 125, NEW COMPACT SPOKESMAN CLAIMS OVER $10,000 NOT ACCOUNTED FOR BY ASSOCIATION HEADS The officers of the First District Baptist Association said to be one of the richest associations in the United States. The first, and the second, were over 160,000, after reading the charges of craft, stealing and failing to account for monies, hurled at them by the preachers from whom "the right hand of fellow-mined men's children were their recent meeting, refuse to make any public statement." Dr. E. W. White, pastor of Tulane Avenue Baptist Church, generally considered the first of the first. The first was expelled, and formerly Bible instructor for the association, has prepared a sign of statement reiterating the charges and added to the first amount, to the same amount, and making a total of over $10,000 which is claimed either improperly expended or unaccounted for officially. Dr. White charges that the association offers a new plan for financial reports at midnight sessions and charges that sums raised for the Old Folks' Home and for education have been spent to give them a present of the association's national, automobile, ride and other operations. Claiming that it had been agreed that no statement was to be issued, officials of the association would not only say that the last year the church represented the members of "the compact" had not contributed $400 to the association's financial program and that minutes had been issued regularly. The distribution of the association's funds is limited for the past year have not been issued yet. Dr. Blageman's Statement Dr. J. A. Bingaman, pastor of the First African Baptist Church, treasurer of the First African Baptist Baptist Association, reported that the report to Dr. G. H. J. Devore, the president, saying, "See him if he has anything to say. The brethren have confidence in him and his integrity and whatever is to be given out should come from him. For myself you might state that I have only been treasurer for three years and the $5,000 item under discussion was disbursed prior to my assuming office. No one has accused me of anything and funds disbursed. I have no other record of this field's orders are properly accounted for." Admits Compact Formed. The occluded ministers admit, in a statement by Dr. White, that a compact of eighteen churches had been organized specifically to demand an accounting, instead of an account of the church's assets, to be glad to meet it. His statement is as follows: After repeatedly trying to correct the affairs of the First District Association, about 25 percent of the church's assets, of the eight of the leading Baptist churches of the city and pastored by some of the most enlightened men of the city in the denomination, met and formed a compact to wage an unrelenting fight against graft corruption and misappropriation. 1925 S Wiley Coll.

In fact, there is no right that could be asserted of the association in April 1899 by the officers of the association will have been bad and the account for the money they tried to get will have been spread and spread-eagle speeches about their honesty. Says Baya Short. "Among other things, the compact has $7.25 in one place and to tell why they have $4.50, one whole year's reimbursed administration waits till midnight each year of the undertaking to have its financial authority they can appropriate dollars for vacations, automobile rides, and other expenses collected from poor wachersmen to care for the camp from an institution to educate the youth." "In three years' time, according to their own printed report, they divided among themselves (a small portion legitimate) $4447.12 and paid to the old folks' home and on the educational property together only $2953.95. We are asking for an accounting, and an accounting we will have, no matter how spraddled out they may come, and no matter how they may rant and rage. In the Baptist Church nobody cares about the bluffs and wrigglers of the leaders. We have no bosses, no bishops, the layman furtherst down asks the leader highest up to tell him what he did with his money." "Some of these brethren are attempting to run the association as they run their churches, but it will not work. Now we were not the first to go to the public with this and if that is their game open up your columns and we will bring to light some conditions that an impartial judge will have no trouble in determining the motives and purposes of these dear honest(?) brethren.

WILLIAMS ..... Advertising Solicitation J. A. JAMES ..... Manager Circulation Dep't HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925 COHESION AND ADHESION CONTRASTED. On Friday, June 19th, the colored citizens of Texas will celebrate their sixteenth anniversary of freedom with parades, picnics, orations, displays, programs and entertainments of various kinds. It is appropriate that we make annual pauses to give thanks to God for our deliverance and take an inventory of our racial stock, with a view of selling or getting rid of all merchandise, goods or stuff on hand that render themselves a liability rather than an asset to our group. With the latter in view the Informer wishes to discuss the caption of this editorial and it is hoped that where we are given too much to practices and acts that are retarding and impeding our ability to shall change front and all work for the common good of all. Cohesion is derived from the Latin, being a combination of two words, con and haerere, meaning to stick together; the state of connection or dependence; that form of attraction by which bodies interact with the affinity; claying together; holding fast to like. All these words its component parts from two Latin words, ad and haerere, meaning to stick to something or somebody, like a postage stamp is affixed to a letter; as wax sticks to the fingers; the force with which distinct and separate bodies adhere when their surfaces are brought in contact; as a locomotive's driving wheel to the rail, etc. Like molecules coarse and unlike adhere. In other words there is a VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STICKING TOGETHER and STICKING TO SOMEBODY. All the great races and nations of both sacred and secular history were successful only in proportion as they obeyed and pursued the law of cohesion, but when they began to practice the law of cohesion to the evolution of cohesion, the germs of internal and intestine disintegration and destruction began to make ingress into their racial entity. There is an old maxim which asserts that "Blood is thicker than which is daily being evidenced on all sides, which is not less than the prevalence of the law of cohesion or sticking them"—but not use people that are non-cohesive in record and read the history of His names—he will find that when they became obsessed and burdened with the adhesive propensities and stuck to other people more than they stuck together, some dire consequences lay on their lives. Through the divinely appointed and inspired prophets of old, God even admonished His people to "separate" or draw away from entangling alliances and unholly intercourse with hostile groups, and to cease these practices that would render them unfit to live in the world. The law of cohesion and reclamation of lost man through the Abrahamic seed. NO RACE GIVEN ALMOST WHOLLY AND UNRESERVEDLY TO ADHERING OR STICKING TO OTHER RACES HAS EVER AMOUNTED TO MUCH, EITHER IN THIS WORLD OR THE WORLD TO COME; FOR RACIAL SOLIDARITY IS THE CHIEF PREREQUISITE FOR SUCCESS AND "A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND." To bring the matter a little nearer home: If the colored race is to gain and occupy its place in the sun, cohesion and not adhesion must be religiously observed and rigidly practiced from the cradle to the graves and we must think more in terms of each other and the other. During the past half century or more we have been too long on adhesion and too short on cohesion, and there is no better time to change our program than upon this the sixtieth anniversary of our liberation from the bonds and shackles of human slavery. COHESION AND ADHESION: THE FORMER MAKES FOR RACIAL ADVANCEMENT, BETTERMENT AND SOLIDARITY, FOR LATTER IN CALCULATED TO KEEP US APART, FOR ASSUMING THE RIGHTS OF BETTERLY ENGAGED IN INTERNAL BACKERING AND WAR-ARE OF A DESTRUCTIVE AND OBSTRUCTIVE NATURE. Let us here resolve that from this day forth we shall stick to other people less and stick together more and when we do that we shall be free citizens instead of more freed people. STATISTICAL: STATEMENT OF RACIAL PROGRESS DURING SIXTY YEARS Colored Race Has Made Wonderful Progress Since Emancipation—600,000 Homes Owned—1,000,000 Farms Operated—50,000 Business Enterprises Conducted $1,000,000,000 Wealth Accumulated—43,000 Churches—4,800,000 Communicants—Valite of School, Property, $21,940,000—Church Property Valued at $85,900,000. Without giving and burdening our readers with an exhaustive statement covering progress of the colored race in America since our arrival, the Informer gives the statistical statement below, which shows what great has the race has made since its liberation from the shackles and ignominy human bondage, the same being authentic and authoritative in the present day. The opportunity for the Negro in every part of the nation to make progress. Thirteen days before this, that is, on December the eighteenth, 1865, the third commissioned by the United States, was adopted.

H. you say it is, I would be compelled to quit, as there would be no money for pay me. See? Moreover, I am earning every cent that the Order is paying me; but I am now filling my protest against giving men money whose only claim to it is that they are trying to retard the progress and growth of the Order. You say that the reports conflict. How do you know if you have not the facts in the case? Now, listen, Brother Riddle will take care of his end—I am not concerned about that, but I am concerned about you trying to hinder this drive. Brother Garner says that I am evasive; not at all, brother; you haven't said anything to be evaded. What you ought to do is to try to put in a hundred new members into your lodge so you will have a right to yell when you get to the G. L. We have met three ruffians before at the West, East and South; surely we don't mind meeting three more, especially when they are only irritators. Now, Rev. Dickson, you are supposed to be an intelligent man, well educated with a program to put over if you can. We know your plans. Why not get right with the O. F., if not with God.

In this rebuilding the Negro not only illited the soil of the South, cleared her forests and helped to build her cities, but in fifty-fifth years he has himself made a most remarkable progress.

Spencer, managing SHEPPARD'S SANITARIUM, founded 1911, in which more than 2,000 major operations have been successfully performed. It is the oldest and one among the best equipped hospitals in the South for the treatment of colored patients. This new hospital was built by Dr. Sheppard in 1924 at a cost of $2,500 to replace the one burned in 1900, and when fully equipped will represent an expenditure of $50,000. The building is practically fire-proof and healthfully located on one of the most popular streets in the city of Marshall, Texas. The operating staff is composed of some of the best physicians and nurses in the South. Special attention will be given to every case that Dr. Sheppard is one of the most eminent surgeons of the race and enjoys a.vary lucrative practice in Marshall and East Texas. INFORMOGRAMS By 8. B. Williams. The abolition of the junior college at Howard University, automatically dropped Dean Kelly Miller from the faculty roster of that institution. There are in this country who believe that the president of the college had quite a bit to do with the move to abolish this department, and the Howard alumni are wrought up to a high pitch. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard is quoted as saying in the New York Herald-Tribune, "Couldn't make the mistake of committing the highly commendatory remarks made by General Perching, concerning these statements are we to give credence? You can't make Germany believe that the Negroes were cowards and as yet we haven't heard the French people compaining of our colored boys and sign it from now on as General Bullard, we suggest, should leave off the "ard" in his name and sign it from now on as General Bullard, we suggest, Governor Mirlam A. Ferguson, in the language of the old Negro philosopher, "ketches it kimmin an' er gwine," she is condemned for her liberal pardon policy, notwithstanding Pat Neff, her predecessor, was condemned equally as severely for his stinginess along this same line. Now there is a howl from one end of the state to the other because she wouldn't permit the electrocution of two Negroes to take place on Sunday, and that too by people who would prohibit the sale of gasoline on the Sabbath. ___ Apparently the sage of Pythianism, the Hon. W. "Shed" Willis, has stirred up a hornet's nest in the ranks of fraternalists in this grand old state of Texas. ___ Willis' order, the Knights of Pythias, is creating almost as much interest from other orders as it is receiving interest from the banks. ___ "Bill" McDonald, the well-known politician of Fort Worth, and grand secretary of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas, has challenged W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of the Pythians of Texas to a joint debate, to be staged in several cities and towns of the state for a purse of $5000. Willis reply could very sensibly be "Interest talks:" ("How's that brethren?" * We have often remarked that it's great to be crazy, but its greater to be calm. We may also try to verify the facts in the case, as was demonstrated in the case of Elmer William the Negro who conspired to help the woman. We repeat, it's great to be crazy, but be sure to have your proof here. In the death of Mr. Margaret J. Washington, widow of Dr. Booth J. Washington, the entire nation suffers an irreparable loss; the South will have reason to mourn, and she will allude to the tragedy of her devotion to her race and for her ample and noble womanhood. Students returning home from Howe University state that the school has been a student's strike a few weeks ago has been suspended and will not be enforced until modified. A headline in a daily paper read "The student's strike would have read the article, but knowing how common a sight it is to see dead folks going through the mollion would have woken the wanout of much new value. Negro Bathing Girl Revna, is another big headline—we hope those who wear bathing suits this year won't interest them if they did last year. Here's hoping. F. W.
