Gen. "Bull"-ard's Attack Refuted SPINGARN MEDAL GIVEN TO JOHNSON HOME EDITION 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.

Published every Saturday at 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, Houston, Tex. Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 5, 1879 G. P. RICHARDSON ..... Editor-Publisher B. S. WILLIAMS ..... City Editor J. B. 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.

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.

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, * 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.
