ANOTHER RAPE CASE EXPOSED HOME EDITION VOL. VII THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON. REV. DAVID ABNER BUTLER. The untimely and premature death of the Reverend David Aberner Butler, late pastor of First Baptist Church at St. Paul, Minneapolis, and that young People's Union Convention, brought to a swift close a career that was promishing and removed from the ranks of the denomination and race one of its best prepared young minister. Reverend Butler was, comparatively, a young man; for it was just a few years ago that he was attending Bishop College at Marshall, where he distinguished himself in the class-room and paring himself for a life of service to his fellowmen. He was one of the few young men to pursue and complete both a theological and academic degree at Bishop College in recent years; for he realized that he serves best who is best prepared to serve his family and that he did not know. He only studied school and to classmates, schoolmates and friends to know him best; and the condition of influence, with a diligent and faithful to every trust. So faithful he was to his trust and charge that he endeavored to fill his life with the love of his family and the siege of influenza, with a relapse as the consequence from which he never so selfless and self-sacrificing was. So unselfish and self-sacrificing were the sisters and friends throughout the state considered it their hidden Christian mission and port during his protracted illness, and that he never suffered for the need that now this brilliant young man now "sleeps with his father," the life of his father, formed unto humanity will survive many decades after his body has resumed. The death of this dear brother reminds us, that so few of our young men are seriously considering the minorities of the world. The fact that the foeing to enter some other field in an endeavor to render service to their fellowman and get some material substance. When one views the present situation obtaining in so many of our pulits and observes the alarming number of unprepared men who are ignorantly, blindly, and often, wastily, living in the public life of the intellectual life of our people (spirituality and intellectuality can not be separated much in an enlightened age like this), he must indeed shudder at what the future has in store for us in our world. The day has passed when ignorant and illiterate men, whose only claim to a divine call is their coice and money raising ability, as well as the power of the Church, and the power of their and other congregations, can successfully pastor and direct affairs in the big churches of our cities and towns; for the pew is outstripping the pulits and the poor; the poor are not the people who never has and never will submit to ignorant leadership. Of course, petty politics, minimal rings, cliques and efforts to "frye" the Church, are the cause of the leading and best paying charges, have done much to deter the young man who might otherwise be inclined to enter the ministry and devote his career in the greatest field of humanitarian endeavors. As long as we place a big premium upon ignorant, crooked, crafting and selfish ministers, we are merely delaying that day when God's coming comes. The great majority of the Church, many congregations of the present day are presenter worshippers rather than worshippers of and after the true and living God, and thus the church is lost in the great crisis. The great majority life, and great mania has been described as the main reason for the decrease in church attendance and decline in church interest, but the jazz syllabus has been presented as a form since time before the clerical; and to contend or admit that it has greater pulling power and is a more attractive force than the church, is to admit that the church is very weak and poor, and is falling into a state of poverty. We need more young men in the ministry like the hite. Revered David Alba, the founder of Wesleyan, benthal the soil of East Texas, but whose influence for good we can admire on and写 and give in molded shape and fashioned after the Lowry Thought griefsticken and heavy of heart, we can only bow our heads in Amanda Bardon's words all things for the best and explain "They will not curt, be dozed." Amen.

Jacksonville, Fla.—The large number of automobiles owned by our people in this city has led to the opening of a new field for members of the race, other than as workmen and mechaners. It is unofficially stated that Negroes in Jacksonville own more cars than Negroes in any other city. The proportion of cars to white and colored here is rated 3 to 1, there being one car to every seven Negroes. The management of the Medin-Buck Co., looking at it from a business point of view and realizing that colored people would patronize their own, appointed a very wide-awake and lively race man, as salesman here. This followed the appointment of R. L. Butler, another race man with the Oldamobile Company. As a result of the appointment of these two men as salesmen, several motor agencies have appointed colored men as salesmen. The Oldamobile and Buick people treat colored salesmen the same as if they were white, with all privileges accorded salesmen. Others give special consideration. The Buick salesman since his appointment six months ago has disposed of over forty-two new cars, and prices have been set at the colored people here are only buying cars which Negroes sell, and the venture has proven profitable for the automobile people as well as for the young men of the race who can qualify as salesmen. If our people would buy only from stores which employ colored men, more opportunities would be open to our people. DR. WHITRY RETURNS FROM CHICAGO MEET; MADE GOOD SHOWING Dr. H.

After a lengthy search no one was found answering to the description given by the girl. The pose then dispersed with the thought that the assailant had successfully escaped.

G. Sept. 10—Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews has been advised by special secret service agents of the department, who made an investigation in New Orleans of the indictment returned against Hon. Walter L. Cohen, comproller of customs, which charged him with complicity in rum running activities, that he had been using his position for the charges beyond the film-street of circumstantial evidence. Mr. Cohen's personal friends and political allies were elated when this information came from the treasury department, as it was thought that in all probability no information would be given out but that Comptroller Cohen would simply be retained in office. Friends and supporters of Hon. Walter L. Cohen, comproller of customs, are now confident, since the return of President Coolidge to Washington and sufficient time having elapsed for the reports of the secret service investigators to reach the secretary of the treasury, that the president and the treasury officials have been NEW ORLEANS DEPARTMENT THE HOUSTON INFORMER is on sale in the Crescent City every FRIDAY AFTERNOON at the PEOPLE'S DRUG STORE, 32 S.

From all over the United States Mr. Cohen has received letters and telegrams affirming the senders' faith in his integrity and expressing the same belief, as is preponderant here, that the information furnished to the grand jury was inspired by a desire that Mr. Cohen politically. The clamor raised locally to have President Coolidge remove Mr. Cohen until his trial comes up, appears to give the comproller no concern. Not until it leaked in Washington was it known here that the secret service men, who were sent to make an investigation of the entire matter, were sent in response to a request by Mr. Cohen who assured treasure department officials that even the bit of investigation would reveal the absurdity of the charges. The first evidence of the success of affecting Mr. Cohen politically by the indictment, was shown when the executive committee of the republican party met here to make recommendations as to the candidate to be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Robertson. Robinson hut Mr. Cohen, observing the propriety of the situation, neither attended the meeting nor sent a proxy, though at any other time in all probability his suggestion and choice would have been given more than passing consideration. While it is not expected that the president will make any definite announcement as to the findings of the special investigators, for if these are favorable to Mr. Cohen it would indicate the weakness of the government, which he would be assumed by the public to mean that the evidence gathered against Mr. Cohen is such as to indicate either his vindication or of such weakness that he can easily disprove it. COHEN CONGRATULATED. New Orleans, La., Sept. 10-10. Walter L. Burckhoff, copriller of customs, is being floated with telegrams of congratulations from all sections of the United States government and service investigators to the treasury department, which absolves him of any connection with run running activities as charged in the indictment returned by the recent Federal Court. While it is expected here that District Attorney Borah will ask, when he is indicted, whether a man thrown out of court, friends of Mr. Coben state that he will steals on a case presented will only make his acquittal more certain and silence forever his guilt.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1925 MAN DEMANDS RIDE OF POPULAR MAIL CLERK, CLARENCE COOLEY, AND CUTS HIM WHEN REFUSED Clarence Cooley, popular railway mail clerk, was severely cut Monday afternoon at the corner of Dryades and Perdido Streets, when he refused to take in his automobile a fellow who accosted him and was arrested. Mr. Cooley, preparing to drive up on Canal Street to witness the Labor Day parade, stopped at Pratts' old stand and was seated in his car when a fellow hailed him as he started his motor and told him to wait a minute as he wanted to ride with him. Cooley replied, "You're not going to ride with me." The stranger is reported to have retorted, "The hell I can't, if I don't ride in that car you ain't going to." Cooley not anticipating any trouble and treating the threat lightly, had his attention temporarily attracted in a direction opposite to the stranger. Then when he started to move on, with his hands outstretched at his foot pedal, and forgotten the strange man's threats, when all of a sudden the fellow rushed to the car and began cutting him. Bystanders rushed to his aid, but before they could reach him he had been pretty badly carved. The stranger rushed to the Charity Hospital and an examination disclosed that while he had been pretty badly cut his condition was not thought to be serious. Normal Grads To Get Teaching Jobs In N.O. With the public schools opening on Monday, the Board of Education holding its regular monthly meeting on Friday of March 15, 2014, will meet for the few vacancies in the city schools, interest is centered in the announcement as to the names of those with the graduation this year of the fifth grade school and the previous announcement of the school officials that these graduates will school and the previous announcement of the future appointments to vacancies, in order to be the first to be appointed. It has been stated that a roster of the graduates will be assembled, the rankings of the graduates will determine their eligibility for appointment and the ranking scholarship is to be determined. If this is changed then the old system of preference and pull will be in Small Chance for Outsiders. There has been much discussion as to the merits of making the appointees to the school board more uniform. Quite an element of personal interest in education in the schools, the schoolship are more important than catering to local sentiment of parents who are graduated from the normal department, should have preference. The schoolship on the inside in school matters have advised teachers from out of the city that it is important to apply for positions in the city schools. For a reason the action of the school board on Friday night will be taken as an indication of the policy for education during the past school year of the four-week paydays many teachers made it necessary for them to be found that a shortage in school funds made it necessary for them to be found that a shortage in school terms, when they received only a fraction of a regular monthly pay, made it necessary for them to be announced that rather than reduce the teachers' salaries that payments would be made to them and if sufficient monies were not in the Treasury as an addition to the regular short pay, When matters turned out as had been predicted many of the teachers were relieved. They reigned at the time that they would resign. It appears that most of this PYTHIAN8 SELECT CHURCH Garden City City K. of P. Lodge, at its head, and the P. Lodge of the P.

Opened the door, boy was playing with the works out of an old alarm clock. Sunchanging away the clock, cried, "Do you dare, Dear," inserted his wife, mildly, "somewhat trounbling you tonight," because you're put out about something. "Do you understand," and the man terribly, "there is immense power exerted on those of those cwheels; don't you know that if properly gapped up, the works out of an inch all matter of gearing and leverage. Suddenly the man stopped speake-sayers and banged him out the rattle of the inch. Grabbing his hat he hurried out. Not until morning did he return. He sat quietly in the room, out exactly as he entered the dining room, and then as I answered, "I was grouchy last night.

I think I've got them both going now, and I'm going to go to school today afternoon I was walking along Main street, on the way to the shop, when I passed Milton's show room, when I had him up there in his window". "Another price cut on his cars". "He got up a sign over one of the Packay engines exposed to view right close to the window, it reads: "He got up a sign over one of the Packay engines not on its reputation". "Of course, I being the only other one on the window in town, naturally, ".

"It a trick of father's and Mr. Milton to make things hard for us; as they should." "Will stay right here, and let's see, what it was that wiercock said in the interview," he said. "Early: to bed, early: to rise; work like h-1 and advertise." "Well, work like h-1 and advertise." "Anyway, I've bought a last year's packway to advertise with." "A packway to advertise with, why? Never mind, you see—and I've put new bearings in it; that what's it was working out in night. I've got you in the door, you can push it back and forth on the door like a percussionist." "The packway to advertise with; you're selling the Lord, you know, not the Packway." "Yes, I know; but these are days of broad constructions. It's the fashion nowadays not to knock your own car, so I've put a nice new door on the Packway fixed it up all fine." For several nights Arnold worked out in the factory, so as it looked as though everything were going along fine a letter, came from the factory saying that no more cars were being sold.

Even Banker Thomas got the humor of the thing and the factory wired on for details concerning the unique advertising stunt. Orders a plenty found their way into the Lord agency. "Simplest thing in the world," explained Arnold to his wife that night before he was about to give everything but the starter motor and the battery, gave the battery an extra heavy charge, and fitted in a set of four clamps to power the power from the starter motor to the point where it almost equaled the power of four cylinders, although of course the battery would make little or no speed; pulled that old Packway from one end of Main street to the other, with no motor power; pumped purely on regulation, plus" IMPROVED UNSIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (C) REW, P.

PRIMARY TOPIC — Leaving God's Word WORLD TOPIC — Studying God's Word PERMEDIATE AND ENGINE TOPIC —Two Kids of Heaven. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Sculpting the Sculpture. 1. Paul Preaching in Thessalonica (v. 1). 2. Jih Method (v. 1. 2). He observed the drivin' order, to the Jews first wherever he went (Acts 1.8; Rom. 2.3-10). He was exceedingly careful, to the fish, but whenever they proved themselves unworthy, he turned to the Gentiles. His own kinship first should be established, but should not stop there. He went out on the Sabbath day so as to find them. His *H. Message* (v. 3). His message was always and ever the same, viz. that, from Jesus in the Church, he would be to be convinced from the Scriptures. So Paul expounded to them the Scriptures, to explain them, to expand the Scriptures, to prove their positions by the Word. Concerning the Christ, he set forth (1) The Scriptures prove that Christ must be a sufferer of the vile. "It hustles Christ to be sufferer of reference need be made than Isaiah 63, but it seems that the rabble of that time had explained away the fact that Jesus was the only one of the Jewish people were only looking for a glorious and powerful king to come; therefore they relied Christ because they had no other method of exegesis is employed by many Bible teachers and preachers upon the literal suffering of the Messiah, while they spiritualize and allegorize the teaching of the plorous and the righteous to reign upon the earth (II Sam. 7: 8-16; Isa. 33; Jer. 23: 5-8; Luke 1: 11-16; Luke 13: 15-18). (3) That Christ Must Rise Again From the Dead (v. 3), from the Scriptures. The resurrection of Christ, and the bodily resurrection of believers, needs both practical and expedition in our lives. (4) That the Historic Jesus Who He Proclaimed Did Suffer and Rise From the Dead (v. 3), that the Christ, Predicted the Messiah (v. 3). The Attitudes of the Jews (vv. 4-11). While some Jews believed and many Greeks, the order of certain Jews was that they gathered together the town and lows of the town and on foot a ride. They assaulted the house of the rulers, having failed to get the rulers, having failed to get the missionaries. In their indictment of the missionaries they uttered unwittingly that have turned the world upside down. It is true that the gospel is intended to right government. The real truth, however, is that the world is now upside down. The work of the gospel is that the preaching of Paul into a specious life. He did preach the kingship of Jesus endowed to make it appear. Jesus is most assuredly coming to reign on this earth (P. 2). Let all men accede to him in humble submission. III. Paul Preaching in Beraa (v. 10-15). II. His Method (v. 10). He entered the Jewish synagogue and preached Jesus unto them. III. The Gospel by the Berana (v. 11-12). It was with gladness of heart. The message was just as new to these men as it was to think of thinking as it was to the Thessalonian Jew, but they had a more noble disposition. The success of the mission was in the position of the bearers. Two things are said of them: (1) They received the message gleaned (2) They searched the Scriptures daily for the truthfulness of the preaching. For this worthy act Paul was more noble than those at Thessalonica.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 HOUSTON'S CUTE LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING! HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 HOUSTON'S CUTE LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING! The Informer has been besieged with complaints from colored citizens, tax payers and patrons of the Houston public schools, in which these citizens of color are completely disgusted with the miniature school building now being erected in "deep Third Ward" to be employed as a junior high school. The Informer had discussed the small structure in a previous issue and when the foundation was started quite a number of our people inspected it to see if The Informer had mis-stated and exaggerated the matter; and practically all of these people are unanimous NOW that this paper was right in its original content. If our foresight, as a race, was as good as our hindsight, perhaps we would beatir ourselves a little bit more and get more consideration and recognition along many lines. Now to add insult to injury, the board of education has decided to name this cute little school building, the Jack Yates High School. The Reverend Jack Yates, former pastor of Antioch and Bethel Baptist churches and moving spirit in the founding and establishing of Houston College, was a great factor and mighty power in the early days of this city; but The Informer thinks the school board has shown him a cheap and niggy honor by naming such a missit, inadequate and "hamfat" makeshift after this great and notable character. According to former published statements, this Third Ward junior high school will accommodate ONLY 300 PUPILS, and when completed will not compare favorably with similar school buildings in some of the smaller cities and larger towns in the state. It seems that some members of the other race are contending that this building's cost is in keeping or commensurate with the taxes that colored citizens pay in this school district, and that the race should be satisfied with this meagre consideration; but this contention is a fallacy and does not obtain where other racial groups are involved. In a democracy such as our professes and espouses to be, the strong are supposed to bear the infirmities of the weak; and schools are not maintained and supported because of ratio of taxes paid by any group or race of people, but in view of the fact that such institutions are imperative for the good of the entire family. The object of our educational system, whether in private or parochial schools, is to fit and equip boys and girls for useful careers in life and to make them good, honest, industrious, lawful, faithful and loyal citizens, without regard to race, creed or color. With fully $3,000,000 available for a public school expansion program, which consisted of purchasing sites for junior and senior high schools and erecting modern buildings on these sites, it borders on criminality that the local board of education spent practically all this huge sum on and for white schools, and then gave the colored citizens the leavings in the shape of this little two-by-four structure stuck out there In Third Ward—now in course of construction. Now this same board proposes to submit another bond issue for around $3,000,000 for ward schools, and if the issue is submitted and carries the polls, we presume that, pursuing the policy and following the ratio that obtained in expending the tax payers' money in the junior-senior high school expansion program, the local board of education will finally decide to at least paint one of the present inadequate and antequated frame structures now employed for housing colored children in the various ward schools. Even in the face of such raw and rotten deals the colored citizens of Houston can not be aroused to a sense of their civic and patriotic duty sufficiently to register their complaints to those in authority or to wield a negative force at the polls in order to The Houston Informer THE WEEK No legislator would ever dream of saying that there should be a law to compel the making of only one kind of typewriter. Money and profile are inseparable from the making of such an obstruction in the way of the acquirement of knowledge. And the typewriter is ever ready to back up the legislator in the strangling of the schools, in the suppression of the freedom of speech and assembly and in economic hinterland. Mr. Hughes makes one other telling point when he says in effect that the typewriter is ever ready to back up the schools. This is true because in large government are restrictive while the schools, at least, are supposed to be the one place where there is CAMP MEETINGS OVER: The weary ploughman homeward wends his way.

We are not ingrates, neither are we beggars, but we make a mighty miserable showing in looking after, protecting and safeguarding our own sacred, civic and educational rights and interests, which, in a large measure, accounts for the scant attention paid us by those in official authority or the meagre consideration they give us in those matters and causes that vitally and directly affect our radical contingent in particular and the social family in general. Our people have been indoctrinated with the ante-bellum idea and preachment that it is treasonable, radical, "uppish" and importment for colored citizens to make any demands of or wage contents before those who have to do with disbursing the people's money in affairs of state, including the public schools, and as a consequence we are just a little removed from the status of the slave and serf" are more FREEDMEN, but we are far from being FREE MEN. Free men are always on the alert and job, looking after their interests and those they represent, while freedmen must content themselves with the crumbs and scraps from the tables of the free men. With the largest colored population in Texas and their potential strength of colossal and elephantine proportions, the Houston Negroes do not even begin to measure arms with their racial brothers in other Texas cities and towns, who contend manfully, soberly and sanely for what they believe to be their just deserts; and until we wake up, "stay woke" (meaning to stay on the job at all times) and exerting full strength and power for our best interests, we shall forever be regarded, and treated as human slaves by the governing class and those in official positions. HOUSTON SPECIALIST LEAVES FOR THE WEST Dr. C. A. Jackson, oye, ear, nose and throat specialist, with offices at 666 and 407 Odd Fellows Temple, left the city Thursday for a thirty-day vacation in the West. During his absence the doctor expects to get some much needed rest as he can get some rest from removing tars and adenoids. He will, however, combine business with his studies to be the best hospital to be found in the West to further perfect himself in his special field. He will work in Chicago and the East and now he says he wants to see the West Dr. Jackson has had eight years practice as a specialist in ear, ear, nose and throat for successful treatment in these diets is indeed remarkable.

J. G. Groves, known as the potato farmer of Kansas, died recently at the age of 104, having earned 40 cents per day, hand, earning 40 cents per day, the ownership of a 528-acre farm and 10 acres of land, colored man raised 72,150 potatoes on 265 acres. We are aware that Groves had neighbors of his own race, with equally as good land, the same size family, and same size family, who came out in debt the same year Groves made his own potato king. Why? Answer On reading the farewell message written by a local attorney of the white race of this city, who committee reason, were reminded of the words of David, who wrote, "In my hase I have referred to a similar assertion, whether in hase or not, when he said, The struggle to attain social prominence has proved to be the rock upon which thousands of human barques have been wrecked, and yet every day more people who are often dubbed "strivers," living far beyond their means, "putting themselves in class with the social elite of their community. These people, like the man who does not value themselves far higher than all the gold and social position that they may acquire Back to the Shenandoah affair—that big air bag that was ripped into two by the cycle—we're wondering if Colonel Mitchell, who is really a "flying colonel," will be arbitrarily and summaryly dismissed from the service for having the courage to speak out boldly and say what the world believes to be true. Men have been dismissed from positions of honor and trust for far less, just for being a man, and not being willing to be muzzled like the ox. It takes some grit as well as backbone to risk one's means of a livelihood and come out flat-footedly and call a spade a spade, and you don't find them on every street corner nor in every office chair. Whether he is right or wrong, we are pulling for Colonel Mitchell—the world needs more like him—our race ought to have one or two. The hospital for Negroes in Houston is not a dead issue yet, we still hear of it being discussed by the powers that be. It has been well said that Houston numbers among its colored physicians men as fully prepared to operate a hospital as you will find in any group; if they are given the opportunity. When we read in newspapers published by the "superior" group of "near riots," we are reminded of the near beer brand of stuff sold on the markets. Near beer usually contains 2.75 per cent. alcohol, and if all the "near riots" reported by the papers are no nearer riots than the one reported to have occurred last week in the Fourth ward, near beer has got "near riots" skinned two country blocks, as this one had less than one tenth per cent riot in it. The railroads of this section have returned to their old pre-war custom of running excursions, and our people are showing, a willingness to help these poor poverty-stricken corporations to keep the wolf from the door. Winter will soon be here, brother—better buy that coal. A new race with dark complexion and dark hair has been recently discovered in Western Siberia. They have been named Irkutah; if after further research it is ascertained that they have reached a high state of civilization they will be classed as Nordics. ter greet it! I Docket W. J. Howard.
