Houston Informer

Darrow Will Defend Dr. Sweet WINDY CITY CHURCH BOMBED VOL. VII AMONG THE LEADERS. Elsewhere in this issue appears an article from Opportunity, official organ of the National Urban League of New York City, on "Race Pride and Cosmetics," same being an editorial discussion of a survey made by a white Southerner of the class and了在the public of advertising appearing in the Negro publications of America. In selecting five of the representative articles, the first is the study and survey, this Southern expert chose The Houston Informer, as one of the number, which is a tribute both to this paper, city and state. In carrying advertisements of necessities, such as clothing, food, fuel real estate, and food, the American Journal of the Professional Service. The Informer led the field with 50.6 of such advertising; its nearest rival being the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide, with 49.5. In this particular field or advertising, according to this survey, the Chicago Journal of the American Journal of the Public, having only 8.0 of such advertising. However, the Defender lead the procession 79.8 when it came to advertising beauty preparations, patent medicine, cheap Jewelry, good luck emblazer, and other things, which have brought up the rear with 48.2. It is very fitting and proper to state here that The Informer refuses to carry advertisements of good luck emblazer, clarvoyance, voodoolm and such rot; while this paper has never been given to the public, the American Journal of the Public, with hair straightening and skin lightning and whitening advertisements. To be included among the five lead-ing race newspapers for such a study, the Journal of the American Journal of the Profession, upon the other, has offered upon the Informer: but to lead the field in percentage of advertisements giving greatest stress to the normal necessities and essentials of life—the worthwhile, constructive and economic the-ment, needed a source of gratitude and delight to the management of this paper. This shows that the advertiser recognizes The Informer as an excellent source of the race in this section of the state and country, and it further demonstrates the importance of about the reading clientele of this paper. On this paper has insisted, from time to time, that it hends the field in this respect among the colored newspapers of the country, many of whom merely coot our own horn, and that instead of confessing, we were bragging people, with their peculiar psychology, will believe and give credence to at least one of them. We write, we pass on to the findings and report of this Southern white man, who speaks with authority and WILLIS AT IT AGAIN! According to an article, which appeared in newspapers in recent days, daily newspaper of Cleburn, W. S.

Besides educational campaigns, Mr. Wills hopes to not only boost the cause of the arts, but also to provide a signal service to the antique social group at all places visited by his official grand wife. This new departure was recommended at the grand lodge held at Waco during the summer and the dedication, by unanimous vote of the representatives present, backed up and in this respect, by other things this official can do: will reduce travel expenses of grand lodge officials (fourteen persons can ride in this automobile), and will facilitate the administration of the "Im-m crow" coaches on the "Kansas Railroad."

Kohlberglen, a spokesman for the United States, stating that the United States had docked the case of Nixon vs. Hendron, which will be made the entering wedge of an attack upon the diffranchisement of Negroes in the case. The case arises out of a Texas law passed in 1928, prohibiting Negroes from entering primarys. It is confirmed that this effectually diffranchises colored voters in contravention of the fifteenth Amendment, which primaries constitute virtually the only primaries for election to office in that case. The case goes to the U. S. supreme court on appeal from the U. S. district court in New York, to Negro. Dr. A. L. Nixon, from the democratic primaries in accordance with MAMMOTH CROWD AT.YATES SCHOOL LEFT DISGUSTED (By C. F. RICHARDSON.) Attended by such a mammoth crowd as usually witnesses the annual May fete, the cornerstone to the Jack Yates Colored High school, in course of construction in "deep Third ward," was laid late Wednesday afternoon. Longby and boresome ceremonies were conducted, and the cornerstone laying. Among the high lights on the program were the following: Address by County Judge Chester H. Bryan, sub-chief of the Department of Education, member; Superintendent Oberholtzner referring to and calling Prof. James D. Ryan, principal. Houston colored high school, "Jimmie" before that vast concubine of students, teachers; pa-colored high school, "P.M.," and the W. E. Miller, principal Gregory school, referring to the married daughters of the late Rev. Jack Yates (in whose honor the new school is named) as Sallis Ambros, Nannie Courtney, and the Brilliant College of Art, Not Q. Henderson, principal Bruce school, praising the local board of education and publicly declaring that the school board was not obligated nor duty to do so. The school board was and that whatever the race receives from the board is merely an unmerited favor, and a long line of such "Uncle Tom bull-shevik" (the genuine G-Nat brand); the address of J. T. T. T. was the same as the same as the ageous, manly and untrammelled grocer, who contended that Negroes are a part of the Southern household, and that, while the whites may hurdle the blacks, the blacks may have the household we shall ever take upon and contend for bread. It was both a glorious day on one side and a sickening and nauseating spectacle on the other, and hundred years ago, the great black people were the exercises disgusted and exas-perated; due, in a large measure, to the disrespect shown the race and the occasion by the superintendent, with his gratuitous foe-man, "Ryan," "Prof. Ryan" or "colored high principal;" with Miller's public insult to the female married members of the Yates family, and the miniature, makeshift building being erected out of the levelling and The program got off to a late start and had to be abbreviated. Aide from virtually all living members of the school board, the board of education were present. AURTIN EDITOR VISITOR. Rev M. M.

Arrangements were concluded with Mr. Darrow last week and he left Chicago at once to go to Detroit and prepare the case for Mr. Sweser. The case was heard by Hayes of New York, of counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.

"The N. A. A. C. P. will spare no effort and, so far as our resources go, will spare no money. The amount of work the association can do on this case, the case now pending in the supreme court and other cases, will depend on the financial support the colored people of the country will give." "The N. A. A. C. P. wants money to fight these cases. These two segregation cases, together with the vitally important Texas disfranchisement case which has now also reached the supreme court, obligate the N. A. A. C.

EXPERIENCED MAN TO OPERATE CAFETERIAS AT 4 WARD SCHOOLS NELSON C. CHESTER, congenial proprietor of Lincoln White Kitchen, Till Prairie Avenue, and Place Immanuel Garden, Sampoon and Place, has been designated by the local board of education to operate the cafeteria at several of the colored public schools. These cafeteries will be under supervision of the school district, and will be operated at Bruc, Blackhawk, Douglass and Gregory ward schools. Mr. Chester is well prepared for this newly created position, and should bring to the schools a class of culinary personnel that is hard of experience for the job but had years of experience in the cafe, restaurant, cafeteria and eating house business, and is now conducting two of the newest and nicest places of their kind to be found in the city or state.

There are no special Negro styles, and the penalty of nonconformity, and the greater severity, than the bitter ridicules directed at an incongruous end. Right or wrong, if crinkly hair and shiny black features are the butt of Nordic ridicule, it can be understood why the commonality of Negroes will seek to change these features, and thus contribute to their chances for success in a country in which circumstances force them to live, philosophy be hanged. Rationalizations such as are facilely provided by the manufacturers of cosmetics, easily follow. It is all an unconscious protest against an inferior status, and this type of protest is not confined to Negroes. Dr. Alfred Adler, Viennese scholar and neurologist in a recent interview published in the New York Times, said as much of the custom now current among women bobbing their hair. Whatever the reasons given, such as ease in handling, neatness, health and the like, back of it all is a protest against the inferior status assigned to them by man—and the desire to minimize the difference between the sexes, by becoming more like him. Woman does not want to be man—but she wants his freedom. The analogy one may reasonably argue, carries with the Negro. FRANKLIN HEAD HERE. W. L. McClyde, general manager of the Madane N. A.

Eli T. Martin. Chicago, Ill.-At four o'clock Friday morning residents within a mile radius of 53rd Street and Michigan Avenue were aroused from their beds by the detonation of a bomb which destroyed the mammoth Bethesda Baptist Church at the confluence of the Hancock and the Chicago River six blocks around. The blast was the worst ever experienced in Chicago and carried stark fear into the hearts of thousands who feared that its thunderous voice was the herald of an earthquake. The Bethesda Baptist Church was recently purchased from a Jewish congregation which had joined with another group of Jews and erected a synagogue in another locality. The purchase of the church, according to real estate data, was much less than the self-funded monastery in the center of an aristocratic settlement of rich Jews and a white bourgeois from the merchant and commercial classes. Ten months ago it was bombed and damage done to the extent of $8,500. At that time the pastor, backed by his congregation, made the announcement that he did not intend to move the church to Harbor Blvd. Madison. Several of the richest Chicago Negrates are members of the church, including Anthony Overton, president of the Overton-Hygiene Company and of the Boughs National Bank, and Mr. Hinga of the old department of presenting bomb outrages against Negrates that the church was insured against fire for $280,000. The damage was supposed to have been $150,000, which is therefore covered by the insurance. Another $100,000 damage was done in the breaking of windows and the tearing house of residence and apartment of the church. The office of a colored woman who has been "passing" and attending meetings with the church were forced to leave their homes and to hire guards to protect their exposured personal property.

Dr. Howard Melish, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn, delivered the dedictory address, telling the life story of the late Royal C. Peabody, for whom the institution is named, whose interest in education for Negroes began while he was a youth in Columbus, Ga. The building is a two-story brick structure erected by student labor at a cost of $35,000 and is the gift of Charles S. Peabody, both of whom were present at the dedication. Among others attending were George Foster Peabody of Sarafos, New York; Miss Carry Peabody of Brooklyn, and Mrs. George Robins of Plainfield, N. J. The building was accepted by A. H. Hunt, principal of the school, who pledged to the donors the efforts of faculty and students to make work useful of the gift.

FAIR OFFICIALS PUSHING PLANS FOR BIG EVENT Houston is making ready for the gong of the Gulf Coast Colored Fair, which will invite the public domain of Texas to her quarters, November 9-22, 1925, inclusive. The Gulf Coast Colored Fair is believed to mark an advanced step in the life of the colored people of Texas as in every line of human endeavor and will give stimulus to all lines of products. A large part of the fair will be educational as fair should be, and the appeal is statewide. Nearly every state and denominational institution of Texas is invited to display exhibits at the fair. The real purpose of the fair is an educational and an entertaining enterprise. A fair is a place where the people meet annually to display, graphically, what they have accomplished in every industry, and so artistically and attractively arrange them on exhibit as to furnish an object lesson to all who see it, and which will be the means to attract the attention of thousands of people to this section of potential opportunities. The officials of the fair are putting forth every effort to make this a fair of quality, merit, and magnitude by giving big prices for worthy exhibits and furnishing the best attractions, The entertainment committee was fortunate in booking the John Frances carriage on the road, consisted of a carnival company on the road, consisted of seven riding devices, and many other attractions that will make this fair interesting for all ages and all backgrounds. Several ladies are wanted to enter the ticket sellout campaign. Apply at once to C. W. Hoe. general manager, Milton street, phone: Preston 487. Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN TO TERMINATE NOV. 5TH The membership drive for the colored Y. M. C. A. is progressing in a very pleasing manner. At a meeting of the different teams for the canvasing for members at the "Building Tuesday night, October 20, more than 150 additions were reported, with several teams yet to report. We are sure when the other teams are heard from that the totals in membership and finance will be greatly boosted. It was the consensus of opinion of those present that the drive should continue until at least November 5, and the time was accordingly extended. This will give an opportunity to those who have wrought well to do more work, and those who have been handicapped for various reasons will have another chance to pull up with those who are new leading. The leaders of the drive, as well as the showing made by each team, will be published immediately after the close of the drive. The encouraging results so far obtained are indicative of the fact that Houston wants the Y. M. C. A. and that it remains for the various teams to sell it to the public. NEW MT. PILGRIM Rev. W.

(13) RACE AIDS HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE CAMPAIGN SOUTH GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER $200,000 GIVEN BY AMERICAN NEGROES IN HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE ENDOWMENT DRIVE Two hundred thousand dollars have been contributed by colored people to the $5,000,000.00 endowment fund being raised for Hampton and Tuskegee, according to Charles Winter Wood, a representative of Tuskegee Institute, who has been spending several days in the city. Mr. Wood makes his headquarters in New York and Tuskegee but has a number of friends, both white and colored, in New Orleans and reports that the citizens of New Orleans have been very liberal in their contributions to the fund. In addressing the Episcopal Convention here, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, announced that $4,500,000.00 of the endowment had already been raised. Mr. Wood has had a large part, it is learned, in assisting Dr. Moton in raising the sum in the same loyal way in which he assisted the lamented Booker T. Washington. Charles Winter Wood, in addition to his work along educational lines, is noted as an orator, dramatic reader and actor, standing today as the dean of Negro dramatic actors in America. Over thirty-five years ago he appeared with great success as star of a colored dramatic company in Chicago and the NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY RAIN FAILS TO MARR DREAMLAND OPENING Though torrents of rain last Thursday night that was not sufficient to "damper" the opening of the Dreamland Cabaret, formerly the Elite.

New Orleans, Oct. 22.—The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church voted Monday to give to the suffragan Bishops the right of a vote in the councils of the church. The House of Deputies must ratify the action before it is effective. The amendment elicited much warm debate and one of the strongest pleas for its adoption was made by Bishop Linna of Newark, N. J., who declared that great good would be accomplished among the 8,000 colored communicants of the church if the right to vote were given to the colored bishops. Bishops Guerry of South Carolina, Garland of Pennsylvania, Page of Michigan and Lawrence of Massachusetts were (1) quent in their pleas for the adoption of the amendment. Bishop Manning of New York—who secured it vote, by special action, for Suffragan Bishop Lloyd (white) of New York—led the opposition and claimed that the suffragan bishops might eventually control the house. Bishop Vincent of Southern Ohio was opposed to the extension of the vote as was also Bishop Beckward of Alabama, who took care to explain that opposition would not be based on a desire to keep the vote from the Negro bishops but was upon constitutional ground.

Thomas Denby, autocrat of North Carolina, the one and only two colored bishops, was the first time be permitted to have a vote. The colored delegates and visitors at the bishop's visitation jubilant when it was announced that the bishop had been married. Both bishops were treated with unusual courtesy and consideration when the visitors were taken to Gaudé Institute, while Bishop Denby joined the Temple Jerusalem for the automobile which was to convey them, one of the bishops, to the temple. They thought they had no conveyance. She rushed up and said, "Why here is it so difficult for you? You must come with me in my car." Exhibit in White Church.

But, it appears, the birth of the Negro schools in the light of darkness upon men and women who would be the idols of the "great I be it." the superintendent of the city schools, who had charge of the Negro schools and the supervise-ment of the supervise-ment idea, was the man, whose熟ed opinion of Negro womanhood was best shown by his sec-mentor, who never called a colored woman or a Negro woman by their first name.

Their attendance at the various sessions and meetings has not been marked by any attempt at segregation and the friendliness of the students has been greatly greeted by the many white acquaintances, is quite noticeable. The local committee in charge of arrangements, in cooperation with the local school, is responsible for the educational work of the colored schools, operated under the direction of the American church institute for the education of the church delegates and thousands of visitors to the attention of the church delegates. Robert W. Patton, D.

In a building next to the Anthemenum, the Christ Parochial and Institutional School of Powers City, Arkansas has a special exhibit. This school is only 14 months old but the work it does is a testimony to its recognition as so successful that the Forrest City Chamber of Commerce has named it the King and his assistant, Miss Ruth Normant, to the convention with their students, whose work is very conspicuous among much excellent work. Bishop Normant exhibits the artworks of the trustee board of the school. Among the exhibits are curtains made from cotton and a historically dried, a large worn carpet, many dainty embroidered pieces and beautiful drapes. The exhibit at the First Methodist Church contains much student work demonstrating artistic ability and Notice to Odd Fellows & H. H. of Ruth To the Lodges and Household of Ruth of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Jurisdiction of Texas: Brethren and Sisters—Greeting: This comes to inform you that Brother H. G. Gorce, the late Grand Master of the Odd Fellows in Texas, has been called to his reward and I have asked the Grand Master of the order of Texas, May God help me to discharge the duties of the office in such manner as will be a credit to the great order which we represent. You will please note carefully my first announcement to the Lodges and Households throughout Texas. (a) NOTICE. To Local Lodges in Jurisdiction No. 25, State of Texas: in view of the fact that D. G. Master H. G. Gorce has deceased we believe it to be fitting that the local lodges throughout the jurisdiction observe memorial services in their halls on Sunday evening, November 1st, at 3:30 p.m. This applies to those lodges that have not already carried out a service. We urge that this observance be made unserved by all local lodges in connection with the Households of Ruth. A statewide observance will be arranged in Houston later on in the year. 1. My office will be in Corsicana, Box 185. All communications should be sent to my home address. 2. I ask co-operation and brotherly kindness from all the Brotherhood and Sisters of Ruth. 3. We want the Odd Fellows to not only hold their own in Texas but we should move forward with greater leaps and bounds than ever before. 4. We don't want any sleepers and drones in our camp but every man should be wide awake and at work on the problems which will necessarily confront us as a great institution. 5. We want 10,000 new members this year and a revival in all the Lodges and Households in the jurisdiction. Can we have it? 6. Until the next Grand Lodge, all cards, medical blanks will be secured from office of the medical examiner, Dr. J. R. Moore, San Antonio; Grand Secretary J. T. Ewing and J. H. Riddle, Odd Fellows Temple, Houston. 7. At present we have four organizers appointed by the board at the last Grand Lodge as follows: Waldo Matthews of Silsbee, Texas; E. G. McDonald, Milford, Texas; Bro. P. A. Hill of Austin, Texas, and Bro. Willis of Denison, Texas. The board has not authorized any others. 8. Let every member in the order, every organizer, every loyal supporter, to call for a forward movement and success will crown our efforts. 9. For the present, the drive for members will be conducted by the endowment department, all organizers reporting directly to Bro. J. H. Riddle's office, and that office to the grand master. 10. The grand master will ask the head of all departments to report to his office for all information and any changes affecting the work. 11. The tree is known by the fruit it bears, and the workman is known by his reports. 12. Now, again we ask the membership to give us your support, your powers, your loyalty and your push and above, and we shall go over the top. 13. The Budget will hereafter be mailed from Houston with the grand master as chief editor and Bro. G. S. Meadows of Commerce, Texas, as corresponding editor; arrangements by our late district grand master. 15. We ask the lodges and members in the jurisdiction everywhere to let us practice economy in all our handling of the people's money. In other words, let "economy" be the slogan for this administration and "saving" our watchword. Send us the news items and we shall hope to give you a first-class paper. Yours in F. L. and T. J. T.

HQUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1925 UNITED ACTION DEMAND OF THE TIMES! Newspaper dispatches from all sections of the country indicate that the American Negro is facing one of the most stubborn and formidable fights in the history of the race in America, and unquestionably against the inferior and insidious attack of this hideous, hydraheded monster, Racial Prejudice, he will be robbed and robbed of every vestige of his political, civic and economic rights and warranties within the next decade or two. The black man who can not read the signs of the times and give his voice to the voices of those deformed already; for it is a tite aphorism applicable to our predicament, just as true today as when originally uttered, that "he would be free, himself must strike the first blow." The segregation menace is bobbing up with painful regularity in different sections of the country, and a determined effort seems to be making the race black in this reputed "land of the free and home of the brave." To further their program of restricted residential districts, these foes to orderly government and traducers of democracy, are resorting to violence and terrorism in their maddened and frenzied invasions of the colored man who dares to threaten "lily-white" domain. While these proponents of segregation are raising huge sums of money to vigorously prosecute their cause, and are employing bomb-throwers, vandals and anarchists in the execution of their crimes, they are also using the same impulses by and trusting solely and wholly in the "good white folks and the Lord;" or holding mass-meetings and passing empty and meaningless resolutions, deploring this and denouncing that, but all breaking for the door when the suggestion is made that a fund be raised to counsel and fight the matter out through the courts of the land.

However, a colored editor or speaker begins to advise Negroes to unite and stick together for their own best interests and well-suffered and unrestful efforts of their own goodness, and often intentionally; many claiming that the Negroes are being advised to "rise up against the whites," and many black men are guilty of circulating such stuff among the white people. The Informer—in suggesting that the Negroes of America, and pre-war war war for the forces and meet the challenges hurled at them and theirs by the archways of America and canism and democracy, Races Prejudice.—DOES NOT MEAN TO CONVEY THE IDEA THAT NEGROES SHOULD RESORT TO VIOLENCE AND CIVIL INSURRECTION TO ATTAIN THE INSURANCE OF THE GOD OF THE PERFORMING BEACH OF THE GOD OF THE PROPER TIME AND BACK UP THEIR WILLS WITH COIN OF THE REALM AND CONCERTED ACTION FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL CONCERNED. All forms of injustices and inequalities are manifest in this country, with black man as their main object and chief victim—the "black man"—of which the first is a segregation, the "slip-crowism," the "proception and a double-standard of IF THE BLACK MAN EVER BECOMES AN ENTITY IN THE LIFE OF THIS COUNTRY; IF HE IS TO BE TREATED AND BEAUTIFIED ANY OTHER BEAUTY IN OUR PEROGENEOE POPULATION, AND BE ACCORDED ALL THE RIGHTS AND PREBOGATIVES WARRANTED AND GUARANTEED HIM UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY, HE MUST AWAKE FROM HIS RIP VAN WINKLE SNOOZE AND DO SOMETHING FOR HIMSELF. We have operated too much along the individualist line, often employing the tactics of the ostrich (burying our heads in the sand and not beholding the attacking elements or forces, as if such procedure removed the danger or altered the situation), and we have fooled nobody but ourselves on one hand, while on the The Houston Informer other hand we have not gotten very far in securing and maintaining our inalienable and sacred rights and privileges. When legislation and measures are proposed and passed that are inalienable and hostile to other radiance of the earth, will raise our standards, offer both the measure and its proponent or proponents; but with us we begin to engage in our favorite pastime, singing our national anthem, and bewailing "our sad and bitter lot," but doing nothing tangible or concrete to seek redemption from such evils and lilies. SOONER OR LATER COME INTO A REALIZATION OF THE FACULTY that HIS INTERESTS ARE MUTUAL, AND THAT NEEPER THE LIFE NOR PROPERTY OF ANY MEMBER OF THE RACE IS SAFE OR SECURE AS LONG AS WE VICIETIMES OF COLORPHORIA AND ITS VARIOUS RAMIFICATING. The second emancipation of the race must be effected by the race, for while Lincoln's emancipation proclamation took us out of slavery, it failed to take slavery and its imprints out of us. To put over this or any other program the race must develop and select its own leadership, and cause submitting meekly and docilely to a superimposed leadership, which, so often, will sell us the freedom we need. THE PATHWAY TO COMPLETE EMANCIPATION FROM THE INJUSTICES AND INEQUALITIES OF OUR DAY AND TIME IS NOT STREWN WITH SWEET-SCENTED FLOWERS, NOR IS IT FREE FROM RUTS, BAD BRIDGES AND DANGEROUS CURVES; AND ONLY THE RACE WITH RED BLOOD, HAD NO NONE CAN EVER HOPE TO NEGOTIATE THIS ROAD AND REACH ITS DESTINATION. SELLA! SUNDAY FUNERALS AND FUNERALS ON SUNDAY. At best, most of the big "Sunday funerals" we have witnessed in this city are sickening, disgusting and a travesty upon Christianity; and it was to put an end to such disgraceful and degrading spectacles that the Informer took its position some years back to demonstrate demonstrations and celebrations on Sundays. We devote to them many hours of service and personal persons who hurried the biggest rock at the decedent while he was alive, will bring the largest bouquet and place it upon his bier when he passes away. It is not our intention to enter into any controversy here regarding the rightness or wrongness of any pastor in refusing to attend a service; it is not our intention to other minister for such purposes, or to open the door of his church for said purpose; that is largely a matter between himself, his conscience and his God—for no church building is the sole and whole property of the pastor, though the pulpit is his by divine appointment and ordination. However, the Informer is in heart accord with the movement to be Sunday funerals, as such, and thinks that when our people have been properly enlightened along this line, they will acquiesce and govern themselves accordingly. COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVES AND COLORED CITIZENS. The charge has been made here by those connected with the Houston Community Chest that the colored citizens of this community do not contribute their share of money for this fund in the annual drives; which may or may not be tre. However, when it is borne in mind that other Southern cities such as the City of New York, their people in their services for this cause, while Houston pays a constant attention to the colored contingent, either through a race committee or organized effort among our people in this respect, our people should not be severely censured or criticised for not coming up to the expectancy of the people who have to do with distributing and expending the chest funds. The Informer has repeatedly suggested that a representative colored committee be selected to work among the colored citizens of Houston during these annual drives, but only in a makeshift month. The prompt been made to give the race this recognition and consideration. During the war colored men and women were selected to work among their own people during the various drives, and the results were wonderful; in many communities our people oversubscribing their quota. In furthering and condemning the colored citizens of Houston for their seeming indifference and apathy towards these drives, it must be borne in mind that thousands of our people give to the chest fund through the lump contributions from the various industries and concerns where they are employed. Many or other people who give to this fund because they are not solicited, the white soliciting teams devoting most of their time among their own people. Since our annual drive does not begin until the middle of next month, the Informer again suggests that we point a message of local colored cities to work among our own people, just as is being done in Dallas, Nashville and other Southern cities which conduct Community Chest camps. PUBLIC FORUM San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 19, 1925. Editor The Houston Informer; Because of the splendid courtesies and considerations accorded me by the people of Houston on the occasion of my recent engagement there, I feel that they are due an expression of appreciation. Permit me, therefore (though somewhat belated), to make that expression through the medium of your very generous paper. First of course I am the most well-known of myself and Antioch church for the splendid co-operation you gave through your paper, and otherwise, in making the presentation of "The Eternal Magdalene" the success of the season. I want the people of Houston to know that in all my experience I have never played before a more cultural and more specific experience and that they have inspired me to "carry on" more earnestly than here to the more. Permit me also to express my most sincere thanks to every one who has helped in any way in making "The Eternal Magdalene" what it was. I have never experienced such a spirit of consideration, and I am very confident of any humble effort; and those of you who are fighting for the bigger and better things of life, also for a bigger and better Houston may justly be proud that the vision is being caught. Those who took part in the play are deserving of special mention. I can find the more fitting words to use: the most important is simply wonderful and that I shall always be proud of the fact of having known them. Last but not by any means least, but uniting Christian chaplet, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Church should indeed be proud of such people—indicted the city of Houser, Arkansas, where he lives, within its confines such truly Christian characters. He demands it shall be there the first of the year to present one or two plays from the following books: *Should There Be Children*, *The Unmarried Mother*, *The Degree of the Gods*, *A. W. HARMINGS*, *$20 South Olive, San Antonio, Texas*. DE WALT ISSUES APPEAL TO ALL P. V. GRADUATES The State President of the Prairie View Alumni Association Calls Upon Alumni of State to Lose No Time in Perfecting Organization. As state president of the Prairie View Alumni Association I call upon every alumnus of Prairie View to give your unstifled support to the immediate organization of a branch in your locality. If you haven't one already. It is my desire that the official acts of this administration shall represent the will of the majority of its members; therefore, I recommend that you perfect local organizations, meet and arrive at your conclusions in an official way, and report such findings as are general interest to the state organization, and provide recommendations concerning some to state headquarters at 711 Prairie Avenue, Houston, Texas. We have not seen asleep on the job. Members of your state committee have been in constant touch with members of the board of directors who represent Prairie View. We have found them to be fair-minded gentlemen who are anxious to put over a program that is worth while. They not only endorsed our recommendations, expressed themselves as being delighted with the efforts we were taking and invited our co-operation in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the school. It is fortunate, indeed, that such men as constitute the present board of directors of the Prairie View Academy, will come to the rescue of Prairie View at the most crucial period in its history, when the right thing will be done, because they cannot afford to do otherwise. We will need to furnish them ground floor information which will aid them materially in their success, and we will need to worry about the outcomes. If my belief, based upon authentic assurance, that the alumnus association has a splendid opportunity to be of great help, I will be constructive a program at Prairie View, provided we do go off half a day and a couple of hours in authority with personal views and recommendations which should reach the discerning and weakening the influence of your own organizations and credit for anything good that may be snatch off a little artificial spotlight and my "in the people's business."

A. Daniel From reading this very interesting report one gets the idea that the training of ministers of our race has great down in the past few decades, so much so that schools of high rating which some years ago had special theological courses for Negro proachers have discontinued altogether these departments. Another noticeable feature of the report is that whereas the colleges for our youths have steadily improved their curricula, raised their entrance requirements and requirements for graduation, the entrance and graduation requirements for the theological courses have not only not kept up with that of the other literary departments but have gradually fallen behind. Mr. Daniel says "Out of a total of 1011 regular theological students, there were in 1923-24 only thirty-eight college graduates."

Recently a judge of a juvenile court sentence a boy to attend Sunday school as a penalty for a wrong act, which brought this comment from a contemporary, which has in it some force for thought, whether we agreed with him. In the course of the day, he was to bring about a reform for wrong conduct. Sunday schools are not reformatories, and should not be imposed upon by the civil courts in fruitless proceedings. The worst part of it all is, that this boy more than likely has always held an aversion for the Sunday school to be a common课。Now upon it much as a criminal looks upon a penitentiary where he served a sentence. A person should never be introduced to religion by the strong arm of civil force, nor should the civil authorities ever force religion even upon criminals, much less upon free citizens. We have been taught for many years that the relationship existing between a church and its pastor is similar to that existing, or should exist, between a man and his wife, and we, with this case, will be the only person with the pastor of a local church, so on last Sunday stated that as long as he was pastor he would expect no person or set of persons to ask someone else to fill his pulpit, but reserved the right to do the inviting himself. The line with the marital relations—and a man would like to see his place at the family board filled by the invitation of his spouse without his knowledge and consent.

The American pastime, probes, in now directed in Texas to the State Department, since the late war there have been probes and investigations galore. The State Department is coming in for its share of probing and still the necessity for further probing. Texas is about to appreciate an afair similar to the Oklahoma fiasco recently, when the legislators decided to hold a special session of the state legislature to discuss the governor Walton. Aren't we glad that we don't have to mix up in these cases? Persistent rumors have it that the unfortunate workman who this week from the building at Texas and Fannie Mae has passed for white in order to work at his trade.
