G. U. O. O. F. STEAM ROLLER CRUSHED OPPOSING FORCES HOME EDITION VOL. VII G. U CH THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON. POLICE STATION KILLING. The conductor of this department, as well as the masses of the people, must rely almost solely and wholly on the information and information of the unfortunate killing of an alleged demented colored man at the Houston police station last Saturday morning; but the incident, if it were true, was a very serious and serious and serious of office and prisoners, is to be regretted and deplored. We are not able to see why or how one lone lunate could create such com- 什么，but we have to think of police station; and it does appear to us that, even though the man was mentally unbalanced and endeavored to be a man, the man who was available right in the room of the Bertillon expert to subdue this de- mented man. Of course, the detective who rushed in was trying to newspaper reports, and shot the colored man to death as the black was besting the finger-print expert, a la police station version, will be found in the office of the警长 and the警长, but that does not remove the fact that the incident, whatever the cause or causes, could have been prevented had cooler heads prevailed and a life- long-lived life-long-lived life-lived life-lived life in dealing with both the lum- tic and the situation precipitated by his mental hallucinations. The police are not so far in raising such strenuous objections to being "mugged," laboring under the impression that he was about to be placed in the electric chair to be placed in the electric chair, or to be placed in the electric chair. He is probably a "hard-body" board about this "third degree" and brutal treatment accorded a colored prisoner at the Houson police station, and the police was not a fear and suspicion), the Bertillon expert could have then and there secured additional assistance before trying to force this man into the chair. If this had been done, we are of the opinion that the unfortunate and deplorable incident would not have occurred in the United States. The demented colored man would have been able to grab any officer's revolver or club if this had been done, as charged by the police. He is not a man who has a arrest, attempted photographing, finger-printing and slaying of this feeble-minded colored man—who had twice been an inmate of an inmate who had been a man to be re- What we may here can do the dead man no good, but it should teach our son, virt, to always take such steps and precautions so as to make it impossible for firearms upon prisoners; and, if there is any place in the world where the police station is unlawful and unwarranted, it is at the Houston police station, where every colored man who usually proceeded to kill the black man is the unlawful one, being both brutal and barricated treatment of prisoners and citizens, particularly those of the colored man would not have objected to being photographed, as reported in the daily newspaper. But knowing how colored people are treated and humiliated at the municipal court, we should not whether this colored man was as crazy as charged when he objected to being photographed and thus the electric chair! It was indeed an unfortunate incident that such an affair will never be staged at our local police station again; for whatever the affair, such stunts give our city a kind of advertising that we do not relish and only upon our municipal securechion. NEW SPIRIT MANIFESTED During the recent visit of the Harbor Bristleberry Harmony Center, the College-Dridge-Tay Church Club of this city, served as a special social event one evening during their stay in New York to make the Pantherville sisters' stay both profitable The same thing was done by the local choral club when this same musical organization was there in February, which was and is as it should be; but heroteore most musical organizations have been so apt of each other that such a friendly spirit as manifested by these two clubs was hard in the realm of the possible. However, if one day is fairly dawn and upon it and we are THE HOUSTON INFORMER MECCA OF ODD FELLOWS AND RUTHITES OLD FELLOWS TEMPLE, Houston, Texas, erected and furnished at a cost in excess of $325,000 by the District Grand Lodge No. 25, Grand United Order of Old Fellows, and District Grand Household of Ruth No. 13, where the sessions of the grand bodin are being held this week.

The usual ritualistic ceremonies were performed by the master, who advised the delegates to set down to business of the order and to comply with the order a set-back or bring reproach upon the race. The delegates on rules of order and credentials were appointed, after which the order was reinstated to Gore by the past most noble chamber's members and Daughters of the Temple, and reinstated in their beautiful uniform, which brought down the feathered angel of expression of the esteem and expressed the honor of the temple and information were presented in the foresession session by Wil Ilam M.

This humorous and wonderful showing then he favored more of such doing. This humorous and wonderful showing then he favored more of whom were standing on their feet throughout Lyons' entire speech. At its conclusion the morning session adjourned. Annual Reports Submitted. In the morning session, Wednesday was consumed in hearing the annual reports of the grand lodge officers, the first one to submit an annual report being Mrs. Julia Caldwell-Frasler, dishwasher and housekeeper, the first of the household of Ruth. Her address was withal scholarly, logical and recounted the achievements of her department during the fiscal year. "Chief" Follows Her. The annual report of Grand Master H. G. Gore was read by Prof. T. W. Pratt of Dallas, the grand master being toe feeble to go through the order of standing and reading his message. In his message the grand master said, in part: "For the past four years the one big proposition confronting us has been to make the great lodge held in 1981 in this city, that your humble servant recommended to you that we erect a headquarters building. The measure was to be adopted." The proposal was therefore offered to the local bodies for their consideration; the necessary two-thirds vote was secured. The matter then went to the sub-committee for the agreement, which gave its approval, and the measure became law on January 12, 1922. "The grand master promptly called together the committee of twelve members, and the board, together with Brother W. H. S. Seals of Runk, Brother P. A. Hill of Austin, and Brother Waldo Matthews of Slabies. In this meeting we selected the best of the members. The proposed meeting was held this for the reason Houston offered better prospects of making the proposition a paying one than any other city in the state. Our short ex-president, Mr. W. H. S. Seals, offered correctly." "After selecting the city of location, we build a building site next claimed by the most important, we had to locate along the lines of traffic. I want to say in my own words, the essential to have it properly located is to have it be located in the business district, would result disastrously to the purposes of the whole project. A building in the business district, if placed on the street, would necessarily have to be located in the business district. If placed on the street, people, and therefore would not be used by them, which would result in a loss of business. Nothing then was so essential an location, well, we succeeded in this matter, you here are to see for yourselves, the advantage to the city us eighty-five thousand dollars beeps the advantage to the city us eighty-five thousand dollars." PRICE: 5 CENTS ER RCES abinet 2 Years; lis Critics simply in the Negro business district, but in the real business district regardless of color. "I am sure the people of Honston and the public at large will recognize, and will so contact themselves and put the building to such use as not to desecrate and defame it. We are on trial amid the best citizens of the city. We cannot afford to be offensive neighbors, in such a fine community." “Before closing the deals for the lots we employed Mr. Wm. Dickson, a colored lawyer of this city and a graduate of the Harvard Law School, to examine the abstract of title and to render a written opinion. This he did satisfactorily. The deal was closed and the lots became our property on June 1, 1922. We at once began getting in touch with architects and contractors. Mr. W. Sibley Pittman, a noted architect of our race, was selected to draw the plans, and to him goes the credit for the wonderful structure we have here. A Mr. Smith was awarded the contract upon the strength of his bid, and our confidence in his ability to carry the job through to completion. He had had associated with him a Mr. Loftus, who is a wealthy capitalist of this city, who had planned to finance our project. Upon learning he would not be allowed to furnish the capital. Mr. Loftus withdrew his support from Mr. Smith, leaving him powerless to make a living. He usually heavy bond re-acquired of him. The property is not as old as he had in the past, and Mr. Smith not being able to furnish it, just the contract. “We then took up another one of the bidders, a Mr. Carl Curta, who made bond. At this point we began to have lawsuits and rumors of lawsuits. One party brought suit trying our title to the property, and suing for $10,000.00 damages for our occupying our lots ten or fifteen feet of which he claimed to be his “There was some objection on the part of Mr. Smith to the location in what they termed white district. Much intelligence, influence and unlimited money was behind this movement. "The department of banking and insurance held up our activities and threatened to cancel our efforts entirely. The matter of union and non-union labor confronted us. All these formed what seemed at the time in surmountable obstacles. We were only able to overcome them through the help of an infinite higher power than our own frail selves. However, at great expense of time, money and effort, of every kind, we were able to move each stumbling block from our path. I might say further that we did this peaceably. In every instance, zivink completely satisfaction to every object, properly adjusting every disturbing condition until the last brick was laid, and the last tack put in its proper place. We stand before you wearily at the crown of success, and that is what counts most. "Up to the time of actual building operation all the burden was on the building committee, which was usually represented by the grand master. At this point our task was somewhat lightened and the responsibility was safely shifted to the contractor, who was an able man thoroughly competent to do his work, and did so in a most satisfactory and workmanlike manner, as you see." Financing. This new and stately home of our cost us in the neighborhood of $350,000.00 grounds, and building. Later on you will get the exact figures. The building project as a whole is out of the ordinary, and in many details It is very unusual, the most extrordinary, the most unusual, and the most praiseworthy feature is the method of financing. When the lots were purchased in cash at $10,000.00 of the purchase price saving a balance of $10,000.00. At the end of six months we were (Continued on Page $.)

Playing his seventeenth season in the American league as a player, Tris Speaker scraped his fingers through his gray hair and paused when he was asked: "How much longer do you expect to last?" After going into deep study with himself, Tris brought out: "Right at this moment I can't tell when the book will close. As far as I can see it will be determined by my legs." On his own bench while he was talking he put up his two legs, squeezed the ankles, massaged his knees. "Here they are," continued Speaker. "They'll tell the tale. Not my eyes; not the swing. I'm slowing up just a trifle. I can feel it. I know it. I don't get the spring and the jump out there in center field in chasing a drive. And I can't tear across the grass as fast as in other years—five or seven years ago, for instance." "They put them all out—the legs. Take Napoleon Lajole, Hans Wagner, Sam Crawford and some of the other boys. I'll bet they could hit .200 with ease right now on straightway hitting, but they'd clog the base lines once they'd get on." "If these props me up well, don't be surprised if I'm still in there for a birthday. This game is a strain on the legs and I'll let you on in a little ballerina. "Ball players go out for the count because they have not given their legs the training they need to perform. They leaf during the winter, grow, and when they report in the spring they have a tough job on their hands. "It just like a price fighter who between fights takes on weight. He's not going to lose, so self out. Ball players do the same thing. My advice is to hunt for a ballerina to take light exercise throughout the winter, exercising mostly in the open.

EDITOR ENDORSES SEGREGATION PRONOUNCED ATTEMPT TO FOOL WHITE BUSINESS PEOPLE (By HARRISON M. GILLEAN) "The National Negro Vice," here in New Orleans, in its A dorsetment of residential segreg ing is shown by the widespread heard of the article, for few sa have read it are the most sev Flynn. Many business and pro by recalling that it seems to be monthly is sponsored by the wha Whatever may be the reasons of the lowest person in those pressed, and it will not serve, waged to have the segregation Supreme Court. The colored people of New Or white neighbors but do not pro to do so. "The National Negro Vice," a monthly newspaper published here in New Orleans, in its August issue, comes out in an endorsement of residential segregation. That this stand is disgusting is shown by the widespread comment of the people who have heard of the article, for few they have read it. Those who have heard of the article, for few they have read it. Those who have heard of the article, for few they have read it. Flynn. Many business and professional men explain the article by recalling that it seems to be the consensus of opinion that the monthly is sponsored by the white chamber of commerce. Whatever may be the reasons for the article, it is certain that not one colored person in a thousand agrees with the viewpoint expressed, and, it will not serve to abate the fight that is being waged to have the segregation laws carried to the United States Senate. The colored people of New Orleans wish to get along with their white neighbors but do not propose to sacrifice their self-respect to do so. The colored people wish to live in houses in desirable residential sepace and harmony with all the people, for they are American citizens in their news story. The police came and arrested a man who was not in the benefit which the constitution of the United States guarantees, including that it seemed the police were a little slow, the Neuros came armed and were not to be touched. Many Disposing of Property Many Disposing of Property has held that residential segregation is unconstitutional. Knowing this the legislature of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans has held that the supra- fiance of the supreme law of the land and have attempted to enact the segre- ture of the city, in a place that they respect no law, then life and property is unaware and many colored people so realise this and are quite afraid of being deported to state where there is some respect for and respect for the rights of all people, leaving are both substantial citizens and laborers. Propaganda can not bring these back nor keep others from While the white people may not realize that the men who are doing the fighting are apologists for segregation, but the men who are fighting is tooth and toe. Incompatible Argument. Editor Fyron uses a fallacious argument of incompatibility to prove that segregation was not a moral right and colored people have lived as neighbors ever since the war of rebellion. Nothing incompatible in the legalized segregation means but one thing that white people must have done against colored people and placing a legal stalemate of inferiority upon them. The same spirit that makes a white man feel that he can neither lie nor rob him is not in all right because he is white and the other not white. The clauses for segregation is born of the fact that he has robbed the colored man of the ballot, proclaimed his women and fostered the Look at the Schools. What this herding of colored people, by law, is best shown in the segregated schools and children in New Orleans is a disgrace. Look at the magnificent warden for white children. Then look at the dilapidated articule on Ramapo's wall and the normal school. Go into the colored grad schools and look at the equipement of all the things that segregation means. Think of over the hundred thousand one on the police force or not a single department or occupation of a single city building. Probably a jantzier treatment is like an evidence of a friendship which is to be pursued by yielding to segregation can be hard to accomplish not to cultivate this friendship which means the援留 of every thing that means the援留 of every person. Remember Tulsa. The "National Voice" What could be better than people living to themselves in beautiful settlements of at least sixteen unary improvements, free from racial纠纷? Evidently the writer was trying to prove that no pavements, no sidewalks, no lights and no sanitary the colored people of Tulsa, Oklahoma, tried the scheme of having beautiful houses in the city, and the white people, including the police and members of the militia, set the district, on fire, and destroyed and burned up the helpless people who rushed from their homes and shot them down like dogs when they fled from the fire. The Detroit resident, Editor Tyler, using the argument advanced by the average Southern, takes over a column to tell of attacks on colored people in Detroit, who had prospered so they were able to buy Remember Tulsa a monthly newspaper published August issue, comes out in an enation.

Answering a call to Waters and Marengo the police patrol driven by Chauffeur Lips, accompanied by Patrolman Gonzales, came and loaded all the colored men in sight. Williams, it is stated, tried to escape and was grabbed by Lips, who was unable to hold him. Gonzales came to his aid and claimed that Williams got away after hitting him with a pair of brass knucks. The officer then took three shots at the prisoner, who ran a block and then fell mortally wounded. He died before the Charity Hospital ambulance arrived. Sunday was a regular slaughter day. Jack Honeycutt, 626 Forstall street, following an argument over an automobile collision, was shot and killed at the corner of St. Maurice avenue and Preleur street. Ernest Brown, living at Delery and Urquhart streets, is being sought by the police, having escaped after the shooting.

Hart has been called pastor of the Church, 790 S. Liberty street, congregation is much pleased INFORMOGRAMS Texas, not to be outdone by other states of the union, staged an earthquake last week, assisted by such lesser lights as Oklahoma and New Mexico. On the heels of the little quake in North Texas comes South Texas with a recurrence of the foot and mouth disease. A good state like the Lone Star must have her front page position by all means. The death of the Great Commoner, William Jennings Bryan, last week removed from the ranks of America's great men one of the country's outstanding characters—a man who, once possessed of an idea, whether right or wrong, let nothing swerve him from the course which he decided was the right. Pew men in American history have been before the public for as long a period as Mr. Bryan and at the end or mis career enjoyed as much popularity and the high esteem of his compatriots and fellow citizens of all castes and creeds. Although he was never known to take any particular interest in our group, yet as American citizens we deplore his loss. Tennessee, the home of Andrew Jackson, is being given no little amount of publicity in the days of religious strife, monkey trials, floods and earthquakes. Just a few weeks ago the world was forced to remove its hat and pay tributes of respect to a Tennessee of color who, by his courage, coupled with his humanitarian instincts, saved 32 white men and women from a watery grave. He, Tom Lee, was her allied far and wide as a hero—his white neighbors made a trip with him to Washington, where his picture was taken while shaking hands with President Coolidge; later a contribution was raised to purchase him a home. But, take a look at this picture; gaze on this horrifying and pitiful scene, enacted in the same city in which Tom Lee staged his heroic act; a switchman, a colored man, this time is lying mutilated in the streets after a train had severed an arm and a leg. See these same citizens who had so vociferously applauded Tom Lee for his heroism, stand by and see this unfortunate colored man bleed to death for want of assistance. And this is not the darkest part of the picture. It is reported that two officers rushed to the scene of the accident; the attendants leaped from the bed and long enough to the poor manvied victim to see that he was dead of the despair left by the officer. The strenches, leaped in their cars and left the officer unconscious, completed punishment up the switchman, only to see him die on his way to the hospital. A horrible incident was expected in a barbarous community and not in a city hosting of its belief system. A Negro on the date set for his execution, June 19. We often raise a howl when we are forgotten or overloaded. We have our money on our opinion that here is one man that is perfectly willing to show in Snow in the on the last day of July, and the railroads making millions taking Texas to California, New York and Canada to keep cool.

E. M., Chicago. Alexander Hamilton was an octo- room and born in the West Indies of mixed parentage. Read up on him as he was a very important character in American history. The Hamilton Club of Chicago is named after him, although whites do not care to concede his African extraction. Was Homer of African descent?—R. D. C., Springfield, Ohio. He was a Grecian and probably of African descent as the Greefans of his day were pretty well mixed with African colonists. His poem, The Illad, dealt with a people who would be called Negro today. They were all of African descent and the Trojans as well.

LESSON TITLE—Act 15:14–16.5 GOLDEN TEXT—He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from sea to sea, from sea to sea. p. 154, 157 GOLDEN TEXT—How the Boy Tinchy Began a Missionary. INTERNATELY AND SENIORLY INLY MISSIONARY. INTERNATELY AND SENIORLY INLY MISSIONARY. TOP-LEVEL IN THE CHURCH. 1. Contention Over John Mark (ch. 15:36-41). 1. Paul's Proposal (v. 36). This was to resist the scenes of young people in the state of the believers—what propthey were making in their Christian experience. This is a pattern for Harabarata (v. 37). It was to take with them John Mark. The relation of these men was uncle and nephew. (Col. 40). 2. Paul's Opposition (v. 38). He was suspicious of Mark because he opposed the onerous journey (Act 15:14). 4. Their Separation (vv. 30-41). Their concession was so small that the audience was not absolutely certain of which of these men was right. It is quite clear that both were sineers. That John had done the same thing as John did disputed. That one failure in a young Christian should condemn him for life is a strong evidence. It may be that the judgment of Barnabas. On the other hand, this very fact may have given him to Mark's nature which clearly qualifies than Paul. Then again, it is to be presumed that Paul, whom God sent, had a clearer understanding of the matter. Besides it may be that this sternness of Paul was the very thing that brought Mark to his senses. Frequently the demands of justice make the man. This painful incident resulted in these devoted missionaries parting company, but God over-ruled it to the wider extension of the work. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus, and Paul chose Sillas, and being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God, went through Syria and Clicla confirming the churches. The fact that Paul went-forth with the recommendation of the brethren may be a vindication of the rightness of his action. It is comforting to know that the fralities of men cannot thwart the purposes of God, nor even delay them. One of the most serious difficulties in Christian work at home and abroad, is to get Christians to work harmoniously together. II. Finding Timothy (ch. 10:1-5). 1. The Place (v. 1). This was at the very place where Paul on his first journey had endured cruel stoning. The conversion of this young man may be regarded as the fruitage of his testimony at that time. 2. His Parentage, (v. 1). His mother was a believing Jewess, and his father a Greek. The mother's name was Bunice (II Tim. 1:5). Timothy's unfellged faith had passed from his grandmother Lois through Bunice to him. 3. His Character (v. 2). He had a good reputation in the church at Lystra and Iconium. This shows that the young man from the very first had followed in the footsteps of his spiritual father as a witness for Christ. 4. Timothy Circumcised (v. 3). Though Timothy had been carefully instructed in the Word of God by his mother and grandmother, the Mosafite rife of circumclusion had not been complied with. Doubtless this was because his father was a Gentile. In order to avoid offense among the Jews, Paul circumcised Timothy. This may seem strange in the light of the decision of the Jerusalem Council which set them free from this rife, but it showed his willingness to conform to any reasonable demand for the sake of expedience. However, when this act involved principle he was unyielding, as in the case of Titus, when he refused to have this done at the behest of Judaistic teachers, (Gal. 2:3). 5. The Ministry of Paul and Timothy Through the Cities (vv. 4-5). It is likely that at this time Timothy was ordained (I Tim. 4:14). They went through the cities and delivered the decrees which had been ordained at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15:19-24). This resulted in the establishment of the churches in the faith, and the daily increase in the number of believers.

Houston is host this week to the forty-sixth and twenty-eighth annual sessions of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth, whose deliberations and programs are being held in the commissional temple of the order at Louisiana Street and Prairie Avenue. The present grand lodge may be termed a "homecoming" event, for this city is the Mecca for practically 1000 Odd Fellows and Ruthites, many of whom have come to our city to see for the first time the magnificent temple which the order has erected here at a cost around $25,000, paying spot cash for the entire project. Numerically and financially, the fraternity of Odd Fellows and Ruths stands as one of the leading orders of the state, and its growth and strength during the last decade have been most reemergent. When the present grand master, H. G. Gore of Texarkana, assumed the reins of the order it was virtually in an insolvent condition and death claims were being paid in a slow and very unsatisfactory manner; but today the order boasts of resources and liquid assets in excess of $500,000, including the state temple here, and all claims are paid as soon as proof of death has been satisfied. The present grand master, who has literally given his life for the order, (am. incidentally, his race), was able to visualize the future; was able to draw a mental picture of a gigantic project and then has been permitted to live to see his dream, his anticipations, the name of Gore is indisoluble linked with the name of the Odd Fellows in Texas, and a person can not think of one without thinking of the other. He has been the order's fraternal Moses, who has led them thus far with unprecedented safety, from the land of involucry to the land of freedom, and from the land of violence to many a battlefield, yet always being victorious in the conflict. This order has among its membership some of the best men and women in the Lone Star commonwealth, who glory in the accomplishments of the present administration and the achievements of the fraternity. It has successful orders and business concerns, the Odd Fellows have been able to put over their big program because the order has had men capable of leading it and due to the fact that the membership was willing to follow such leadership. It matters not how able the leadership is or may be, unless the order has had men capable of respect of those they are essaying to lead, the leaders will meet with dismal failure and the followers will look askance at their every move and undertaking. The order should be proud of the progress it has made thus far, but it should never forget the men who helped to make this day a reality. The order will work with Green old lady, P. Starks and B. Y. Aycock, the latter crossing the Great Divide since the last grand lodge; the veteran, the original and only Dr. David Abner, Jr., whose life has been closely interwoven with that of the order and who marshaled the forces of the Household of Ruth until incapacitated by his feeble physical condition. The order will work with Green old lady, J. C. Frasier, and others of the present administration, have built an organization that is destined to radically alter the status of the black man and woman in Texas; for it is now showing by precept and example what can be accomplished through teamwork, progress and cooperation. It has been the widow's son so to speak, that has made possible this mammoth temple and solid, financial condition of the order; demonstrating in a concrete and tangible form our possibilities and potentialities, racially speaking, if we will follow and respect leadership, unite our forces and pool our means and the prosecution of one common cause and to attain one even. To succeed in the bivouac of human endeavor, a man must have both ambition and an aim; for an ambitious man without an aim may be likened unto a ship roaming the seas with no particular destination, something like the words in one of the rag-time congluitors, which were what I'm going to do on my way. It is true of and with me, is likewise true of and with organizations and institutions of various kinds; they must have an aim, a program, well outlined and defined, and leaders who can leave the realm of the theoretical and invade the field of the practical. Because of what you represent; because of what you have achieved and are yet achieving; because of what your order means to the race and the social family; because of what you have meant to the future in the world; because of what you have to do, you are exemplars of applied, practical Christianity, and you do must have to relieve the suffering and remove sorrows from the distressed and bereaved; because you are helping us to solve our vexing and perplexing economic, social, religious, political and fraternal problems; because of your heavy investments in this city and your great program, The informer extends a most cordial welcome to you and yours, and trusts that your 1926 session will also be held in the Magnolia City, where railroads meet 23 steamships in which the black man has the best upper firmity to earn a living and enjoy that living; the Negro capital of Texas and the fast-growing muniniality in the entire Southwest. The Houston Informer Odd Fellows--- (Continued from First Page) called upon, to pay the interest in the remaining $70,000.00 which amounted to $2,450.00. It struck us that since we had handsome sums of money in the bank drawing only four per cent interest. It is followed in the money paying there for seven per cent interest. We therefore borrowed from ourselves $70,000.00 and paid the lots out, thereby saving our order large sums of money in interest. “When we came to consider financing the building of the most important, we found to give over a most delightful circums distance. We called into council Mr. Sigtenhorst, our actuary, who advised us that we were well able to put up the building which at, that time figured $247,500.00, pay cash for same and still out of our money. We found that we had the first time we did, and I am here to say that it is the first time in the history of our race such a gigantic undertaking has been financed by any order in such a manner. “We own this building from cellar to roof. There is no incumberance of as good as the notes of the costs, no mortgage, no taxes for you to meet, absolutely nothing against it except a good clear title and deed and they are in our possession. Many orders as well as many individuals have attempted to see those items for themselves, with the result of many dollars being paid, many days of worry and anxiety over past due notes and finally the loss of money and home. I am glad to say the Old Fellows of Texas will be called upon to pass through no such ordeal. We are not in any full possession, and we do not offer. "It has been previously stated that the contract price of the building was $120,000,000. The department of banking and insurance some changes were made. The steel changes were made. The department of the decorative stone was eliminated. These changes reduced the cost of the building to $110,000,000. This did not include the cost of elevators and ladders and instead, together with the cost of concrete, pedestrian walks and all other facilities and furnishings to the individual member has been small indeed, averaging $2.60 per person per month or about one per cent of one per cent per day for a portion of the financial burden has been light indeed for the present member. The future generation we leave no burden whatsoever except the responsibility to carry on the work of the greater height of friendship, love and truth. B. Y. Aycock. "Since our last meeting the debt was paid, our official family. This time he backed to our beloved B. Y. Aycock, and we are proud." "We mustmit Brother Aycock be cause of his unusual service to the orchard, and he is a hardy good fellowship. We can look back to the record of Brother Aycock with the order, and from that order we can see his self-service faith. For instance we all know, for years he went about duties that required him to walk the step and every effort must have been accomplished with a great degree of complaining, in fact hid his pains behind a smiling face in order that his associates would not suffer distress on his behalf." THE WEEK Why does any average Negro of our average inclination to hard work and is black and spend good time wishing roll out endless words to inform you were only white. He will tell you it was a good day and be to thank of course they would not give it to me. In this same connection I am remen years now have been preparing to be a blak, and whatnot. It seemed to matter is a hod-carrier in this country where Negroes are not been to be a possible for an untrained or lazy man did before. The Negroes who want to be white the color will make a winn man of a far important nobler whose long lance, a gum-chewed, painting, half-naked nail many sinister Negroes—not in the is some overwhelming and invisible is they feel that somehow, in some way they feel that the race is where skin. They are fatalists living always is a curve from which no Negro curse, they as, along his skin is these people, but the same his skin is Brains do win领会 the coincidence it shaped skull crown even though it roll across not so and On the other hand, there are white women who are dishwasher Negroes who feel that only white. THE WEEK (Preston News Service). Why does any average Negro of only average intelligence, average ability, average inclination to hard work and average gift, become the fact that he is black and spend good time wishing that he were white? This Negro will roll out endless words to inform you that he would be a great man if he was one of the most important people who would have lost his head of the world that had it not been for his color. He usually ends his wall with, " but of course they would not give it to me because I am colored." In this same connection I am reminded of the Garveyites who for some years now have been preparing to be cabinet officers, field marchals, admirals, and what? It seemed to matter not to any Garveyite that a man who is a hot-carrier. The country has probably a bad-carried in virleity and a bad-career. This country is very much overcoming one's stagnation, changing the color of one's rulers and employers, would make it possible for an untrained or lasy man to occupy a higher position than he did before. The Negroes who want to be white seem to feel that the mere changing of the color will make a wise man of a fool, a grief unassuring gentleman of an ignorientity, and a very unknowable responsible young woman from a gun-chewing painted, half-naked flapper. Many sincere Negroes—not in the above category—seem to feel that there is some overwhelming and inevitable and sure advantage in being white. That is they feel that somehow, in some way, if they could only be white their troubles, financial, industrial, social and cultural would be over. They seem to be the same thing as the same cause of the color of his skin. They are fatalists living always in the grip of the belief that blackness is a curse from which no Negro need try escape. He cannot choose this curse, say they, as long as his skin is black. These people, both the sincere and the merely foolish, do not seem able to evenize the true situation. Ability does count regardless of race or color. But when the despite the coliberation that they may be endured in a peculiarly shaped skill craved in their life, both he was still benefit one even though it rolls across lies not so high as those of the Nordic. And on the other hand, there are white men who are common laborers and white women who are dishwashers. They are on the same mental level as most of the Negroes who feel that they would be something great if they were only white. ```markdown ``` B. Y. Aycock. I am reminded of a say you have done everything nothing." Texas Odd Fellow history is written, to Brother Aycock must be accorded a bright and shining page. Condition and Growth. "The Odd Fellows and Ruths of Texas are steadily going forward. An examination of the records show that the December 31, 1915, we had to pay $7,034.18. Today only two years later we have not assets of $10,942.34. In 1915 we had a total membership of 13,026, today we have in found numbers 25,000, hearty Odd Fellows and Royal Ruths. A further investigation reveals the fact that from year to year our assets and membership have enjoyed a steady and substantial growth. "There are several reasons for this fine condition of our affairs. In the first place the Odd Fellows and Ruths have been officered by men and women who were noted for their integrity of character, for their stern honesty, loyal evolution to duty and their willingness to inadvisibly serve the order most of the present staff were the order of the same. I am not the order in days they have been the reward was meagre and insufficient. To serve the order meant personal sacrifice. Their only motive for service was loyal devotion to the order and its principles. "Some of his honorable number have recently passed, notably Brother J. P. Starks and Brother B. Y. Aycock, both of whom contributed in no small measure to our present success." "We still have with us Brother David Abner, Jr., Sister J. C. Frazier, Brother J. W. Jackson, Brother A. H. Kimmel, and the other family of the family of P. D. Dennis and J. J. de Mireille. These labored with our humble servant. These labored with our grand old order through the valley of despair and darkness. They followed its fortunes to the sunlit mountains of success. I am sure that the virtual, the unrelived, unrelived, unrelived, unrelived in our membership to make you appreciate the efforts of this faithful few, and not turn aside from them simply to gratify the ambition of those who would willingly reap where they have not shown the most important contributing factor to our marvelous growth is the unflinching loyalty of the membership to honest and upright leadership. Many calls have been made upon you to endorse movements into which you did their chariot's life, with the trust and confidence of a little child, you have accepted the advice of your leaders, and everywhere thus far, to your own best interest and the interest of the order. Good leaders and good leaders are a construction area to succeed. Let us continue to work together. "The Odd Fellows and Ruths of Texas enjoy a record for peaceful and constructive operation. The confusionist,�risturber, and the house of the construction of the great badly in our ranks. The policy has had much to do with the success of the order. Peace, harmony, devotion to duty are the agents of constructive progress just as a bickling. Disensions and ancessing will be the agents of destruction and failure." "Finally the greatest factor to our success is the ever watchfulness of our parents, the allure of an allure Father, the ever wishing before us of the light from Calvary, the light of Christ, the support of a merciful providence, so we would have come to naught. It is God who has saved us, directed us, guided us, saved us, saved us, saved us, gave the thanks and the fruit of our efforts. Household of Ruth. We shall never be able to say to the much in praise of the women who make the Household of Ruth. We know they are one with us and we know they are one with us and we know they are of such unusual character as to elicit from me special mention, which never forgets a favorite, and I think all y average intelligence, average ability, average grit, benign the fact that he be were white? This Negro will that he be would be a great man if he be at he would be have at the head of her. He usually ends his wall with "but," instead of the Gaverson who for some cabinet officers field marshals, admire not to any Gaverson that a man who probably be a hod-carrier in yictrix or an old one one's own roadmap's rules and employing their own to occupy a higher position than he seem to feel that the col. a glut unassuming gentleman of an refined refined young woman from woman, above category—seem to feel that there and are advantage in being white. That way, if they could only be white their would be could over. They seem in the grip of the belief that blacked try escape. He cannot escape this black. They truly foolish, do not seem able to count regardless of race or color, or that they may be enclosed in a peeky soft. Soft speech will benefit one thin as those of the Nordic. site men who are common laborers and they are on the same mental level as would be something great if they were Schwab's. "If you have done your best done less than your best you have done." Household of Ruth. Odd Fellows belong to that number. The Household of Ruth has bestowed them with the title of doing they favored themselves also, still that does not lessen the fact that they have hastened to the rescue of "When we were in the midst of the fight to establish ourselves upon the land of Ruth, we were in the midst of the Household of Ruth who flocked to our side and saved the day. When they were just as equal to the task, in every respect. May peace, happiness and future law to the Household and may the inmates of the present and future law to the holy history. C. J.

The joint grand bodies were addressed by A. A. McGrath, examiner of the deputy governor, and Andrew Sigristen, well-known waco acuity. The former explained that the governor had instructed the contractor on the construction of the Odd Fellows temple and asserted that the governor had mortgage loans, while the latter had mortgaged the apartment of the Odd Fellows was operated under Riddle's management.
