$4,000,000 School Bond Issue and Colored Citizens HOME EDITION VOL. VII It was our good pleasure to witness the gridiron tussle between Wiley College of Marshall and Prairie View State College on the latter's campus last Saturday, which P. V. won, 12 to 13, and the last of the highly touted, but from the calibre of played by the East Texas Methodists, known as Wildcats, they were overrated. The Panthers (Prairie View) had their claws sharpened to a fine point and outcratched, outgamed, out-cautious, and out-generated the Wildcats. In our party were Mr. and Mrs. James T. Ewing, Prof. S. B. ("Cimbee") Williams, our spouse and three sons, and Mr. and Mrs. James T. Ewing, Prof. S. B. ("Cimbee"). Williams, our spouse and three sons, and Mr. and Mrs. James T. Ewing, Prof. S. B. ("Cimbee"). The game was put in the season. The game was free from squats, rings, and shovels. The game was a free-and-while it was just old-fashioned, straight football-end runs, line plunges and such—it was stubbornly and bitterly contested until the time-keeper's revolver shot proclaimed the game's terminal-free. After the game our party spent a brief stay at the residence of Prof. and Mrs. C. H. WaHer, where we ran across Mrs. W. J. and Mrs. and son, and the other two men, who were senior Williams, grand chancellor of Texas Pythians, had seen part of the game and left to catch a train for Galveston, where he addressed the game. The game was put in the season. Before making our departure Prof. James D. Ryan, principal Houston Colored High School, in quest of a tire changing expert, breezed in, joyous and jubilant over the victory of the game. The game was put in the season. As usual, our friend, "Zig-zagging" Waller, prince of entertainers, was equal to the emergency and acquitted himself as a host deluxe (whatever that is). A day's away from the world, the game was not at the Waller home that both "Jims" (Ewing and Ryan) and "Cimbee" finally departed with reluctance. (The conductor of this column refuses to answer any queries respecting his position in this region.) Houstonians were there in large numbers, and we saw our friend, "Col." R. T. H. Simmons, all magnate of Mexia, there in his big Bulk sedan. Others in the colonel's car were: Mrs. Simmons, Missen Lillie and Woodle White, Dr. and Mrs. S. M. Pollock. Many remained to the big celebration in the dining hall that night, where the triumph on the field of battle was fittingly and appropriately observed in genuine P. V. fashion. GET IT RIGHT. FOLKS! The Informer has been defused with compliments and praise for the news item appearing in last week's edition of *The Cornerstone* of public men at the cornerstone exercises of the Jack Yates Colored High School, which took place Wednesday. ANOTHER MILESTONE REACHED. Today (Friday, October 30) marks the conductor of the conductor of this column, for which we are thankful and grateful. It was on this date, several years THE HOUSTON INFORMER For the first time in the history of the public schools of Houston, the board of education of the Houston Independent School District has designated and published in the daily papers the contemplated improvements at the various schools of the city, white and colored, provided the $4,000,000 school bond issue is successful at the polls next Tuesday, November 3. In other words, the school board has pledged to make certain improvements, acquire additional grounds, model some grade school structures, and develop additional elementary schools in close proximity to each other, add additional rooms where the building will warrant or justify such additions, change and standardize the class rooms, provide lunch-play-auditorium rooms at the largest ward schools and two colored high schools, and to thoroughly modernize the entire local public school system along the line of physical equipment and facilities. Respecting the colored schools, the board pledges to do the following: McGOWEN—Be considered for conversion into Negro high school after proper alterations, or be retained as white school, as which it would need. More site, improve present rooms, illumination, and facilities. NEGRO SCHOOLS. BLACKHAIRSE—Additional site; 6 to 8 rooms added; improvement of present class rooms; lunch-play-auditorium provided; service system improved; ground, 12 to 14 more rooms; class rooms altered; service system improved; lunch-play-auditorium provided CRAWFORD—Abandon present building; acquire new or additional site; erect 6 to 8 room building CRAWFORD—Alter and standardize present class rooms; improve service system; provide lunch-play-auditorium; add to 12 class rooms if Dunbar is abandoned CRAWFORD—Acquire new or additional site; erect 16 to 20 room building DUNBAR--Remodel class rooms; improve service system; alter building to provide for a primary school.

McDONALD, Fort Worth, Grand Secretary of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas, will lecture to the Houston public at the auditorium of the Old Fellows Temple, Louisiana and Prairie, Sunday, November 8, 3:00 p.m.; subject, "Our Objects and Our Purposes." Mr. McDonald, known far and near as "Goooseck Hill," and one of the outstanding men of his race, is also recognized as one of the leading orators in the country, and is a very interesting talker. During the world war the government pressed him into service as one of its "big gums." He is also a very successful business man, financier (dead of a colored bank in Fort Worth), with clear and practical views as to present day requirements, is one of the leading fraternalists of the race and one of the most subversive citizens of Texas. To bear Mr. McDonald when he speaks here will be beneficial and helpful, and in order that a packed house may hear him on this occasion, free doors will prevail. His Houston appearance is under the auspices of the American Board of the Masons. ago, that yecribe first saw the light of day at Marshall, Texas, which that this is my birthday. Sawe? Providence was kind enough to hasten my arrival on this mundane shore to and let it go on on Hail lowen("All Fools") day; for which we are thankful again. We do not need that we are men imitating this fact, unless it is to in form our friends and foes (i.e. are any) that the editor of The Informer has a birthday—acronomally.

NEGRIO HIGH—Repair classrooms and add new ones; provide a lunch-outdoor-play room; improve service system and provide facilities for vocational work. The board of education, in specifying just what it plans to do with and at the several schools of the system, colored and white, has done just what the Informer has repeatedly suggested, and this paper takes this occasion to congratulate and commend the board for its latest action, and believes that the voters of this school district now in possession of some concrete and tangible facts, will be more inclined to support the $4,000,000 school bond issue next Tuesday. No such comprehensive school building and expansion program has been undertaken by any previous school board here, and, while the board has often indicated what it planned to do regarding white schools out of bond issues, it has never before publicly committed itself to any such policy regarding and respecting the colored schools of the local system. Any opposition to this school bond issue, which may have existed heretofore, was not directed against the issue per se; but policymakers have been encouraged to be spent for public improvements and school purposes before voting for such bond issues, and The Informer has insisted DARROW WILL COMMENCE COURT DEFENSE IN DETROIT OCTOBER 30: FUNDS NEEDED TO PUSH CAUSE New York City.—Clarence Darrow, who has been retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to defend Dr. O. H. Sweet and ten other colored people in Detroit for repulsing a mob from Dr. Sweet's home, has obtained a stay of proceedings until October 30 to give him time to prepare for the meeting. The meeting is expected to be held at the Frank J. Murphy's court. Judges Murphy recently released Mrs. Sweet in $10,000 bail. Association of Mr. Darrow with the Sweet defense has aroused enormous interest in the case; the Chicago Daily News sending a special correspondent, Gregory T. Dillon, to cover the case.

Franklin Sykes building in the Old Poldos Temple, according to W. L. McCoy, Chicago, German, was personally supervising the moving and installation of their parlor at 562 Fifth Avenue. For the last several years this concern has operated on the ground floor of the Taberian building, 865 Parlor Street, grown those quarters and it became necessary to secure it. The parlor and the Old Poldos Temple was finally selected. According to Mr. McCoy, when fitted that the citizens and taxpayers had a perfect right to get these facts before casting a ballot for the proposition next Tuesday. Some of our people, having been fooled, deceived and betrayed so much, will look askance at this pledge of the local board of education regarding improvements, enlargements and expansion at the several colored schools of the system; but The Informer, knowing that the board is composed of honorable, honest and patriotic men and women having the urgent and moving nature of the colored elementary schools, is perfectly willing to take a chance (if such it is under such circumstances and in the face of such faithful promises and public pledges) and this paper is both consistent and firm in its belief that the colored citizens of Houston should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote FOR THE $4,000,000 SCHOOL BOND ISSUE. We have asked for definite assurances and public pledges prior to the election; we have insisted upon the school board putting their hands on the table face up; we have sought to convince the board that the school board will be unaware and unquite and unfit for school purposes, and that most of the campuses were jokes; we have contended that Houston trailed practically all cities and large towns in Texas with respect to the class and callibre of buildings, equipment and facilities for colored scholastics, and now the board agrees with us and pledges to remedy most of these conditions if funds become available through the proposed $4,000,000 school bond issue. In the face of the board's public declaration of just what it intends to do to and for the colored public schools, The Informer wonders itself and the race inconsistent and unreasonable were we to fail to support and vote in the affirmative next Tuesday. Therefore, The Informer, taking all things into consideration and fully sensing unexpected developments, favors the approval of the $4,000,000 school bond issue next Tuesday, November 3, and urges the colored voters of Houston (every qualified voter—man and woman—can vote in this election) to go to the polls en masse on next Tuesday and cast their ballots for this proposition, forming a civic and holden duty to our community and society, and by being a direct and positive service to our own race and posterity. direct and positive service to our own race and posterity.

"And some fell upon good ground" The Sower, in the parable, cast his seed to the winds of heaven. That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish.

But Not As They Had Planned. Marshall, Tex.-Sheriff John C. Sanders of Harrison County, has again demonstrated that a courgeous officer, determined to stand his ground, is more than a match for the average man. He shot two white men in a controversy in an adjoining county. Mob violence was threatened and the prisoners a mob followed and started to storm the jail. Sheriff Sanders urged them to stay. Sheriff Sanders arrested the whole group. These persisted, however, and the plucky sheriff arrested the whole group. However, he was assisted by Texas Rangers on duty at Texas & Pacific. This makes five cases in Texas this in which mob bobs on lynching the mob. The sheriff, backed by public opinion, in one case, that in Dallas, by a officer the mob was killed by officers defended.

Jones, Grand Chancellor S. W. Green, Jas. Lewis, Jr. T. G. Galbreth, took up the matter with the Association of Commerce committees, and the police were being used to intimidate colored people who moved into the city police were being used to segregated neighborhoods. In most of the cases it is stated, the houses are crowded, the grass, many of whom are purchasing them. If by agreement, it is charged, protection of the owners of the homes is not resorted to as the N. A. C. P. is determined to carry each case. It is claimed the proponents of the segregation idea have been advised that the police should ground in bothering owners, but that mere tenants had no property rights. Chief Denies Charge. On the same day that the statement of the superintendent of the police appeared in the paper explaining that the police were not instigating the arrests, officials of the N. A. A. C. P. state that the police went to Mrs. Ivory Jones and notified her to appear at the office of the city attorney. There, it is claimed, she was threatened with being put in jail unless she signed an agreement to not attempt to rent to Negroes a portion of her home at 4920 Howard street. Mrs. Jones is buying the place through a homestead association and it is reported that she admits she will hardly be able to keep up her payments and stands to lose the place unless permitted to rent the vacant half. A similar situation exists, so it is said, with Mrs. Alexandria, who lives below Canal street. Though Safety Commissioner Habans has stated to the council commission that there is grave doubt as to the constitutionality of the segregation laws, and the city attorney, at one time agreed, that no further prosecutions would be made until the supreme court had passed on the Louisiana cases, persons renting homes in the so-called segregated districts are being regularly arrested. The prosecution of the cases against the home owners is being held in suspense and members of the N. A. A. C. P. claim that city officials are doing this to delay the prosecution of cases where there is a probability of federal jurisdiction. HOSTESS TO "T. N. G."

COLORED SUPERVISORSHIP THE BASTARD CHILD OF PREJUDICE AND SYCOPHANCY'S INTIMACY COLORED SUPERVISORSHIP THE BASTARD CHILD OF PREJUDICE AND SYCOPHANCY'S INTIMACY By HARRISON M. G. MILLIEAN. (Continued from last week.) In the article last week we mentioned the assistant superintendent of the city school, was generally supposed to have neglected the idea of appointing a Negro assistant superintendent of the city schools and that had the position been created with a real desire to advance the education of the children affected that there is little doubt but what the teachers and public school teachers have hailed the idea we lighten. Prior to the appointment of Prof. S. R. Brown, the principals and teachers were alarmed when it became known that Assistant superintendent to have many night meetings with Professors Lucien V. Alexius, L. K. B. and A. G. group afterwards charged with attempting to dictate and dominate all matters affecting the colored schools. The writer has been told that both unfair and indirect to mention the late assistant superintendent, but the vice president, with viosity debacle without mentioning him, though he has passed to the Great Commission and rewards and meet such punishments. Pregunt From the very announcement as a just but merciful God decides is The South is made up of many good, fair and just white men, and were it not so, they would have had as it is, would be unbearable. As it is, the South is made up of many riddle why the unfair, unreasonable unjust and un-Christian white man is the victim of racism, he has his way if he is not in a majority, especially when Negroes are Flendish Inconistency With that fendish inconsistency which characterizes that class of white students, the school has been accused of consciences by appearing fair to the Negro, even as they connect schemes to the Negro, and to group the late superintendent assumed a righteous attitude of having subversive intentions, and venerated Negroes into his home. He explained that his association, with the school, was based on a desire to select one of his students as the outlier, out of his scheme in creating the school and to be the Negro supervisor. And Samuel Strawley Taylor was asked. Some have been unkind enough to admit a compliment was paid to a student who was the assistant superintendent decided that they were not of the material he was supposed to be. From what developed subsequently, the supervisor choose appears to have been superior to what developed subsequently, the student choose appears to have been superior to what developed subsequently, a bad day for the Negro schools, many of the principals and many of thecircumcricion of the schools has been bowed, the morals of the system have been corrupted, and, to many impartial observations there have been no com A Fine Opportunity There can be no doubt of the fine opportunity for big help unselfishly to supervise. There many content that with a man as assistant supervisee can help with learning and prejudice as possessed by the late A. C. Harris. it would have done much, this theory is largely discounted because over the assistance of members and members of the school board, who are known to be sincerely interested in the schools and to whom, as a last recourse, appeal could have been made. There is no doubt but that the supervisor failed to obtain the cooperative support of the students. Few will dispute the fact that the attitude of the supervisor and that of the cooperator such that from self-representing women, that cooperation could harden. There can be no question but that there is a far more liberal attitude of the cooperator to go education. Thinking men perceive that the darker third of the tional advantage even if it does make their exploitation less profitable. Even though it is construed by some scholars to be the opinion that the predominate thought of the white South is opposed to liberal education and that inferior teachers, incompetent principals and poorly trained teachers, are greatly provided for colored schools. The excuse that the educational development of the white South is so far lower than the section of the country, which has not been provided adequate facilities to provide adequate facilities for the white children, is considered not tenable unless the doctorate is subscribed to the national educational enactment of the Negro part and parcel of America. In days gone by, it is realized, the Negro population did not recognize when given a sham. Today there is a sufficient number of Negro capable of judging when a white person has intelligent intelligence to decide, when the perpetrators are able to know what Prejudice Wins. From the very moment the anomie was made that a superintendent was made to attend school, the opinion prevailed that he should submerged his educational experience and let his prejudice away him, and that he should be a bony phantom. It is inconvenient that an anomie be made so enough to fill the position of assistant superintendent in a system as far as this house is concerned, a man of real scholarship, persevering in the function as supervisor with credit to the schools administration and with experience. To be frank, few Nerrous are used to authority and importance, since the book he wrote and edited the very souls of block folks, set other Nerrous over them as overpowering in the average Nerrous a tendency to believe that as long as he had write authority behind him he would not criticize or beyond the mouth of any complainants who were involved in the same case he feels himself in the same degree he feels himself cultivated above his own, is subservient to his own authority, in the same degree of his white backer. And, it takes it fully needed information in order to enable his superior to give to the subordinate helpful decisions, and relied upon to carry tales. Especially when Nerrous are involved, it takes a white man inspired with an hostility to the deceive him to make his appointed "leader" simply an abbreviation of tales. A good tale of a detective trait of character is fatal in a man who must deal with women. Whether it was true or not, when the colored supervisor was appointed, the idea became current that he was simply the assistant superintendent's "man Friday" with only such authority, as he assumed and was permitted to display, insofar as it pleased the assistant superintendent. While some educators of experience contended that the supervisor did not have the educational qualities needed for the position, he, as a young man of ambition and above the average in attainment, could have won respect, despite his chief, had he been able to convince his co-workers that he sincerely desired to advance the interest of the colored schools. If this opinion could have been established, it is reasonably certain he could have brought to his aid a large amount of public support even though there is a notable lack of interest among the Negro parents here concerning the schools. Few will claim that the supervisor, or the assistant superintendent for that matter, ever obtained the good will of a number of the principals and leading teachers. The supervisor was viewed with suspicion and the assistant superintendent with grave doubt as to his fairness and with distrust. And then when petty politics seemed to engulf and center around the supervisor, the Negro school system became disrupted and to add to the enfamement it was noised around that NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY YOUNG MEN'S '22 CLUB DRAWS DESPITE RAIN On Monday night at the Patriarian Roof Garden the Young Men's Twenty- Two Club again demonstrated in protest the need for a climate change when over five hundred gathered, despite the inclement weather, to attend a benefit of the benefit of its fund the building.

TULSA DENTIST GETS LIFE TERM: KILLED HIS WIFE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Tulsa, Okla.—Convicted by the jury hearing his case of first degree murder, he was sentenced to death. The district of this city, was sentenced to life imprisonment here Monday for the killing of his beautiful young wife, Mrs. Lucille Travis, last August. The killing which occurred during the closing hours of the trial, was witnessed by the League session which was being held here at that time, attracted nation-wide attention, because of the prominence of the deceased, who was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Travis. The testimony showed that Mr. Travis was assisting in entertaining guests at an afternoon reception given in an apartment on Greenwood avenue, when Dr. Travis cared her on the phone for several minutes, few minutes later, he had got her wraps and accompany him. As they were leaving the apartment, he shot her four times with deadly force, and many of these returned for the trial, testifying in behalf of the state, and making a plea for the death of the deceased as to the high character of the affair and the excellent standing of Mr. Travis.

THOUGH a mother of three, I had fallen hard for the new game, "The high jacket game." new game" was an unfavorable thing to call it. because it antagonized Pa. All new things were "handicap" to the high jacket game. Net for Pa. The newspaper and plechie were good enough for him. (the mother) were very easily a miniature wall of China, Pa. sat rustling his Farm Week, near years up and cast a pitying eye up us and cast a pitying eye on the game with a fierce sarracan. "White dragon," said Jane, "Punk!" said Hilda. "Punk!" grooved Pa. And a little later: "North wind," said Hilda. "And a Ben, sealer, rustling the paper. "Pung!" My son picked up the tile. "Junk!" from Pa. "Honestly, Pa," Ben, Jr., began, "If you'd only try the game since I bet you'd like it. It's different—good fun—and you're always—" We were counting our scores. "I owe you double, Ma. I'm East Wind." "You're full o' wind," Pa chuckled. The next night, I think it was, when we got out the mash-longs set, the rule book was missing. The children began a noisy search for the pamphlet, accusing each other of carelessness, and left me with Pa. As I watched him with the light on his gray hair, recollection came to me of my months of pleasing for a talking machine. They had all been in vain; and yet, Ben, I knew, was not hard. Finally, one day he had driven home from town with a large crate in the truck—had brought it in, scratching his head at my curiosity. "Now, where do you suppose this came from?" he grumbled. "Probably my Cousin Amlei back in Chicago took a notion to send us a gift or some'pun." At length, predated by me, he got his hammer and carefully unpacked our first gleaming photograph machine. But it was months before he would admit having sent for it himself. My reflection was interrupted by the return of the children. We decided to play any creature I needed for memory or watch us as we waffled the time about, asking questions every now and then. What's this funny-looking thing we see in the classroom? Looks more like a Christian clistress, and he left us. I thought he had turned in, but to back, rather pleased with himself for some reason, and gved us with us嘛, "Chow! What's the matter? Do you want to go to the gym?" "Gong! Gong for Chow, eh!" The next night we were "murky" at the open house in town. To the army prince of us all, however, we would not go. "Why, Pa!" and Hilda "You never make a chance before. In it the mats come back? You do want me to stay and give you a mub" "No, mub, we use the old mub. Sam Haler's coming to finger up some accounts for next year." Pa wasn't when we got home to play. When we got home to play, early. On the contrary, he was in high spirits. "The accounts must have given you a chance to play laughing, infected by his good mood. "Accounts? Ac— Oh, well, I guess. That's good! Hardest accounts I ever fingered up! Good results, though." The final explanation occurred next morning when Helma, our hired girl, met me in the kitchen with haggard eyes and unwonted pallor in her round, healthy cheeks. "Why, what's the matter, Helma?" "Ay, ben!" she sobbed—"ben going leave, ma'am." "Leave. Helma! What's wrong? I'm't we treating you right?" "No, mum. Yes, mugs. Ay ben happy here. But... Good Lord, was she in trouble? Or had Pa—? No, I banished the thought—the only time it ever came to me. I was ashamed of it. "Then what. Helma. Tell me." "Ma'am, it's—the boss," she whispered now. "He ben," she tapped her forehead. "Ay just can't stay mum, wild crazy man in house. Ay ben sorry, but Ay just can't! Last night-" "Well!" I was breathless. "Well, mum, Ay go in parlor—just thought Ay'd term down lamp with you all to town, mum... and Ay see the boss on hands and knees, mum. He look under chair and table and say soft to himself." "he say: 'Green dragon and tree bambino, green dragon and tree bambino, Oh, ma'am. Ay, had a nice like to one! We'll awful, mum, and I now.

But in the sense that it has to do with the believer's walk in consequence, it has been no time when the evil one has made such a terrific fight as he is now doing in hope tourity to satisfy his conscience. The man has been saved by grace. Though his redemption, free, in between its beginning and consumption there is no conflict, but in the sense of darkness in high places. Though the conflict is severe and painful, we should bravely battle on because the conflict is gone and we can go forth in the prophecy of God. The L. Source of the Believer's Strength (v. 10). The L. Source of the Believer's Strength (v. 10). Only as the branch is united to the vine or as a lamb is united to the body, is there strength of life. We do not attempt to survive in human strength and wisdom. II. The Enemy (yy, 11-12). The enemy is the devil, a personal malicious being, with his many subordinates. His personality is proven by the names given him, and actions predicated of him. He has an exaltation position, and is mighty in power, and all unseemed men are under his power. He is the original sinner, and is extremely cunning. He has power over death; enters into mean, blinds their eyes; lays mares for them, and affits God's servants. In carrying on his work, he has his churches and ministers. However, he is resting under a curse. The death blow was given on the cross, and he will receive his doom in the lake of fire. 11. The Christian's Armor (v. 18-17). This means that his weapons of offensive and defensive warfare are not of man's devices. Just as his strength is from the Lord, so is his armor. The believer dare not act merely on the defensive. He must attack his spiritual exemies as well as resist their spiritual attack. 1. A Girdle of Truth (v. 14). The truth of God, sincerely and honestly, embraced, alone will avail in this conflict. Reason, tradition, speculation and dead orthodoxy will fall in the crucial hour. 2. The Breastplate of Christ's Righteousness (v. 14). As the metal plate covered the vital organs of the warrior, so the righteousness of Christ protects us from the enemy's assault. 8. Feet Shod With the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace (v. 15). This suggests the firm foothold of the soldier and his alacrity—readiness to proclaim the message of peace. 4. Shield of Faith (v. 16). By this he is able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Christ is the object of that faith. 5. The Helmet of Salvation (v. 17). Consciousness of salvation enables a man, knowing that he is a child of God, and fellow-citizen with the saints, to lift up his Head with confidence and to vigorously assault the enemy. 6. The Sword of the Spirit (v. 17). This is the Word of God, the Christian's offensive weapon; with it he can most effectively put his enemy to fight. This Christ used in the temptations in the wilderness, Matt. 4:4, 7, 10, 11. The church of Christ has won all her triumphs by the Word of God.

PPTOL 3504 Game Too Sociable for Fred Clarke Fred Clarke, assistant manager and the president of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Baseball has become too sociable in the last few years. The old fight is not in the game as it used to be, and eight of them were the final want. We used to be enemies on the field. It we bumped into a player, and knocked him flat, there were no injuries. We were expected. It was a battle all the way, but we were friends nowadays a collision calls for an apology. That's police, but not good baseball. Remember, the sometimes triumphs to injure another. They've hurt baseball by taking away hunting and base stealing. They've appeared. The lively hall is to blame. The biggest risk in major league baseball is the purchase of a light-pitched minor league game that shows the youth who develop into the masters of the slabbing profession do not come out of the outcuff of the water-tank town or a league of low classification. You take Johnson, Brown, Alexian, and others, who, at various times, have attained the heights and you find that they came up with no prized asset what they would do to big league batters. With the law of averaged against the owners of the major china Maurice Archdescon. continue to acer the country and bid high to acquire the services of a slabber who has been able to make a name for himself in a Class A or AA minor class. The last risk in this particular is the one assumed by the Chicago White Sox, who righthand the Alphonso Thomas, right hand the Baltimore club, and while no cash actually changed hands, the man's money is in payment for Outfielder Maurice Archochelon, who was sent to the Orlando by the 50-xavier in the season. The team shouldn't be be a star from the day he steps into the major. But you never last season Leftg雷, who went from the same team to the Athletics and who has failed to justify the huge cost of a new international league mark. Thomas shattered that record this season by setting down 200 men on strikes averaged about seven whiffes per game. Nurmi Selected Wrong **Race to win this tour** holds good in sports as well as in business and the professions. Paavo Nurmilu have carried a spatula American record out of the own specialty into a strange field for an added touch of fame. Nurmilu have carried a spatula half-mile record as well as defeat Alan Heiflitz, regarded as the best among the half-milers in the United States. Nurmilu fail to race a mile and running a half mile race are two different matters. Nurmilu realized that after Heiflitz defeated him the sprints and all race up to and including the half milers are sprints. in a distance runner, not a spriter. He never sprinted. The steady pace that makes Nurmilu express from the mile on canest fit half-mile race. That was proven by Notice to Odd Fellows & H.

Until the next Grand Lodge, all cards, medical blanks will be secured from office of the medical examiner, Dr. J. H. R Moore, San Antonio; Grand Secretary J. T. Ewing and J. H.

BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author, "The Children of the Sun" Published every Saturday at 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, Houston, Tex. Any colored principal who will absolutely refuse to call his female teachers "Miss" or "Mrs.", on any and all occasions, especially of a public or quasi-public nature, is too infernally small and confounded spineless to even serve as janitor in a backyard school is a man in the backyard social group and the socialist is a master and how capable his man is as teacher, disciplinarian or school administrator and executive. Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1879 Questions pertaining to Nagi horizons and not too long, will be answered by the staff.

That day is pass when a colored man must be a "me-too-boos darkey" or an "anate-bellium Uncle Tom" to teach in the public schools or engage in any other line of honest endeavor; for true education makes for strength of character, independent, moral Christian fortitude, unselfish service to one's fellowmen and the true conception of the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man."

The Negro Year Book by Monroe Work of Tuskegee, gives a fairly accurate list. On this occasion and in presence of teachers, pupils, patrons, citizens and members of the Houston board of education, the effervescence of the school district was clared with great emphasis that the white people were not obligated to build the Negroes of this independent school district a single school building, and that the structure was only erected because of the need to provide superintendent of public schools, et cetera, ad infinitum, a la g-Nat.

At the recent cornerstone laying of the Jack Yates Colored High School, located in "deep Third Ward," the superintendent of the Houston public schools showed either undue familiarity or rank discounty in referring to and calling some of the colored principals by their first or Christian name, such as "Jimmie," "Nat," etc. Did Abraham Lincoln fight any slave cases before he became presi dent?-G.

One of his first cases was that of "Black Nance," whose case he fought and won. She was an escaped slave. Coming from the head of the local educational system—a man supposedly learned and a doctor in education—this thrust was not merely directed at the head of the colored high, but the system and profession; and was such a vivid contrast to the glowing manner in which the principal of the local high, who was master ceremonies, introduced the local superintendent on that occasion.

It is time for Br'er Henderson to stop trying to stick his fingers in the white people's eyes and essaying to speak for the masses of people, who are out of complete harmony and sympathy with his views as expressed at the Yates School cornerstone laying last week. The fact that all the public school teachers, a large number of pupils, patrons of the schools and citizens were present at the exercises, had no deterent effect upon the superintendent, who not only violated all rules of propriety and common courtesy by employing such common titles on such a public occasion, but created a hostile environment for teachers, pupils and patrons aliarespect for their colored principals. PUBLIC FORUM ANOTHER ALUMNUS OF PRAIRIE VIEW COMMENDS INFORMER The school board of Houston owes it to society to do its part towards making every colored child in this school district just as good and useful citizen as the white child. THIS IS BOTH PRACIAL DEMOCRACY AND APPLIED CHRISTIANITY! We dare say that pupils at some of these schools will have the audacity to approach some principal and call him by his first name, and if the principal remonstrates with and upbraids such flippant and discourteous student for such gratious familiarity this student will tell said-principal right off the reel, "Well, I superintendent Oberholtz call you that and you didn't get mad!" The colored race does not ask nor desire any special privileges in this city, state or republic, but it demands and has a right to expect a fair and square deal—the same kind and class of consid- eration and recognition accorded other racial units in our polygot populate. Editor Houston Informer: After reading each of your splendid editorials for the past three weeks, I was impressed by the great and grand old school, Prairie View. I was animated to the extent that I wrote you and wrote you and express my appreciation wishes to you for such splendid note you are sounding to our people over The Informer is tired of and asexamated with these peanut politicians and pusillanimous pussyfooters of ebony hue, who are ever more irritated by the fact that they are a particular group in any community, either by the city fathers or board of education, is a gracious gift and unmerited favor conferred upon our race, and that we should not contend for a full body, then crumbs and leavings have been and are yet our only portion. The Informer is not necessarily contending that the superintendent of the Houston public schools should so stify his manhood and violate the traditions of his race in the South (let us pray!) by calling our principals "Mister;" but this paper does contend that he could call them "Principal So-and-So" or "Professor So-and-So" without bordering on what most Southerners are accustomed to do. The Informer is not every man the title that society has decreed that shall be employed and is rightfully his, particularly on public occasions. As one of the sons of Pricia View I feel as you do on the matter of so-called "sacred lands," the Three educational giants you want would surely fit in in every way, principal of Pricia View, and, as you do in every way, possessing the qualifications of the characters you named herodots is so sure that where it should and must land in the R. T. Andrews, successful business man of color and a positive force for public weal in the community, struck the racial keynote in his brief address at the cornerstone exercises, when he contended for a square meal at the civic and public educational table; though the board members and "Uncle Toms" received his message in story silence, with the result that his written address was delivered to the board, which was placed by the board behind the cornerstone, as was done with the prepared papers and addresses of the others on that program. From an intellectual and cultural standpoint our principals and teachers are supposed to, and do, represent the best the race posits. We are not supposed to, and we see these over-worked and under-paid public servants publicly insulted by the superintendent of the public schools of Houston and then to behold these insulted principals and teachers appear to be insultingaging such slurs and slaps, is beyond our mental comprehension. Dr. Osborne was a big man in a big man's place and there must be a big man in the room to preside the wishes of all Southwest Texas as when I say to you to continue sounding your splendid notes for the selection of a real school man for the job. When we cease to look upon, regard and rate ourselves as more colored people less, and as American citizens more; when we stop appraising ourselves as wards of society, mendicants and parasites, and consider and conduct ourselves as free men and part and whole, and consider ourselves as free women, then, and not until then, are we going to receive an appreciable amount of justice, equity and equality in this section of our country. When any race or man reaches the stage in its or his career where it or he is not susceptible to insults and gullibly swallows every concoction he打 it or him, the situation becomes hopeless and insult after insult is heaped upon it or him with impunity. Yours for continued success as editor of the only Negro weekly in all South Texas. E. A. GREER. Principal, El-Campo, City, School, School. A man does not have to be a red, radical or agitator to resent himself, and most men can accept any man that stands up man- ally with him. Principal El Campo City School and President of the South Texas Teachers Association, El Campo, Texas. For nearly three centuries our forbears, forbly brought from the African shores and inducted into American bondage, tilled the land, and raised the people of the Northwest, of winter, suffered privations and even death itself to make this section a fit habitation for the slave-owners and ruling classes, never receiving one solitary penny for all this labor, their only compensation being the lash of the overseer, coarse food and unpleasant conditions. When it comes to developing real manhood and instilling the fundamental principles of Americanism and democracy in the children, the public schools, especially of Houston, as they relate to children, are a dismal and heart-rending failure in many respects. OIL CITY MEDICAL, DENTAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION CONVENE Beamont, Texas — The Oll City Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical School of Dr. P. R. Steward, Dr. W. F. Taylor read a paper on "Treatment of the Oll City Dental School by Dr. P. M. Nelson, followed by Dr. R. M. Nelson, followed by Dr. P. M. Nelson," C. Shaffield. The session voted to maintain a booth in the colored exhibit during the East Texas Dental School. The object of this booth is to help students in the colored chemical house, a museum of dental care the ground to care for minor emergencies arising among our people and the community. The students served by Mrs. P. R. Steward is rich and rare, and extremely enlightened. In no other city in Texas does the superintendent of the school show such little regard and respect for the colored principals and teachers, and the principals and teachers who are subjected to most of these insults and discourties are chiefly responsible for the same being accorded them; for they are always squatting, bowing and playing pure "Uncle Tom" around the school head. Since our ancestors were the major factor in the development, cultivation and civilizing of the South; and, since they were unable to collect for services rendered, their children and offspring, members of the Southern household by blood and toll, are completely dependent on the public for their care and ministers of public affairs are bestowing no special favor upon us, when dispensing such public necessities and essentials as modern school buildings, good streets, electric lights, police protection, justice in the courts, the right to vote in all elections ("taxation without representation is tyranny") and to share in all matters and names as other American citizens, both native-born and naturalized. The superintendent of public schools in another Texas city used to-pull off such stuff on the colored teachers and principals as the Houston superintendent is doing, but his hand was called one day by one manly and courageous young male teacher in an in-room classroom of public schools in that city accords every colored principal and teacher his or her rightful title, even to "Mr., "Miss," or "Mr." Our Fifth Ward principal, and those in the race who hold views along this line similar to his, will do well to read up on and study their American history again and consult the pages of the Holy Word. We will be able to read the pages of the real quintessence of democracy and Christianity, Selah. Permit us to digress here long enough to charge some of our local colored principals with being contributing factors to this humiliating spectacle; for some of these colored principals would be better off not being read by even when reading papers in public or mentioning the names of CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS Deer Gus: Tuck, another trip ten Preary Vu lae Baddy wild my cheet edditer an' his il'family uv 3 chillans an' his better half' an' de Onnerbul Jim T.

F. "Andrew" Brown, the principal citizen, was pronounced by the majority who attended the corona virus vaccination at High School, Wednesday, October 21, as the most and most representative of our children, we are herewith publishing the entire text of his short address.] "Mr. Master of Ceremonies, Members of the Board of Education of the school district, Teachers, Tachers, Ladies and Gentlemen." "We are here today either because we are parents, or because we are interested in the welfare and education of all children. A great responsibility has been entrusted to us—that of dealing with our children. There is no escape of an accounting of our stewardship to God, our fellowman and our children. There is a chance, however, of supplanting forgiveness for our shortcomings. We must provide an opportunity for our not being chargeable for our child's lack of courage, manhood or success in life by our fellowman, but our children will not rie up and call us blessed if we "They can but blame us for the chains of ignorance, of superstition, and of disrespect for one's self that we fetter their young minds with." "We propose to deal fairly with our children. We welcome the sharing of their training to make the world a better place in which to live by the school system of this city, and by one of the most noble professions on earth—that of teaching." "We mean to co-operate with you. First: We must teach our children faith in God, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and pray to have this thought continued when they are under your influence and care." "Secondly: To teach them to be honest, industrious, ambitious, obedient and studious. We wish you to continue this." "Thirdly: To observe the laws of hygiene and sanitation as much as our knowledge and surrounding conditions will allow, and beg you to raise the standard." "Fourth: To be good citizens prepared to take their place in the sun along with all the other peoples of the earth; filling all stations and positions of life wherever they are best fitted, and we earnestly beg you to not close one door of opportunity or fall to provide the necessary equipment for them." "We want to be proud of this school. We want it to have an enviable reputation that will never become tarnished, and we do hope you will see fit to appoint only those teachers whose morality is unquestioned and whose preparation is commendable." “We trust that the curriculum in our schools will not be something separate and apart, but the same as is in the system for any junior high school.” “We appreciate what you have done for us. We have shown our thirst for knowledge by drinking at every available fountain. The Cyro-Phoenician woman was denied the bread because she was not one of the children—she begged the crumbs. In this great metropolitan municipality we are one of the children. We will take the curmbs—but wish for the slice of bread that is rightfully ours.” INITIAL ANNUAL FEMALE MUSICAL REVUE WAS GOOD The first annual female musical comedy and revue, staged for the benefit of the Colored Young Women's Christian Association, same being a part of their annual bazaar and baby contest, not only drew a large crowd, but was heartily enjoyed by all present. Presenting a bevy of beautiful maldens and matrons, the revue, excepting the singing (which did not come up to expectations) was brilliantly executed. As funmakers Mrs. Mollie Taylor captured the laurels, with Dr. Thelma Patten and Mrs. Mattie Overton-Lewis running her a close second. The terplischorean acts by Misses Mae Larkin, Bessie L. Johnson and Francis Durende, latter two being pupils of Madame Pamela Anderson, were cleverly done, and showed that these young people can be developed into wonderful artists along their lines. The march of the wooden soldiers, led by Mrs. W. J. Howard, was one of the outstanding numbers on the program; while the solo by Mrs. Pearl Arnett was the best individual musical rendition. Mrs. John L. Blount proved an excellent interlocutor, and some good, clean jokes were gotten off by the oomediennes. cunjurashun an' witch craff, an' is minny fokes byin' luv powders, an' payin' fer forchune tellin' es yu'll fine no doubt in iny seckshuh uv Afferker, uv de same size.
