Support Houston's Community Chest Drive, Nov. 16-21, 1925! SWEET CASE UNDER WAY IN DETROIT HOME EDITION VOL. VII THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON. COMMISSION MAKE& PROGRESS. According to reports of the leading spirits, both white and colored, in the better race relations movement in Texas as, submitted in Dallas last week at the state meeting of the Commission on the问题，the question of the states between the races has been greatly improved during the last year or so in this state. Hon. A. B. Cleveland of Houston, one of the leaders of the American soul and perspective, fairest and most liberal-minded white men in all Texas and the South, member of the firm of W. D. C. of the American Union, head of the commission in Texas; which means that even greater and more far-raching results will be accomplished during the coming years. The U.S. Congress has been a very median gentleman, free from racial ranpor and prejudice, and served as member of the Houston board of education for approximately 20 years, retiring from his office in 1884. This work got off to a slow start in Texas, due chiefly to the fact that the readers were undertaking an entirely different and more than usual course of writing bringing about and maintaining better relations between the two races, and in trying to secure for the colored dictionary a larger degree of accuracy. Justice, equity and support. Americanism. The state commission, judging by the reports in the daily newspapers, has been a very much more than a newspaper, for be getting off on the right foot; for even the Associated Press dispatches gave the colored women present to the public, and "Muse" as "Mr." and the man they, such as "Pro." "Rev.," and "Dr." When people are willing to accord other people their rightful title and may not be required to do so, they show, in it, that the former's heart is right and that they respect their fellow-man, generally speaking. Unless men at the head of more than a few states are to respect and accord those connected with the same and their rightful titles and bestow the proper civil respect and the right to the right of the people, and constructive nature can be achieved or accomplished; and, instead of making for better relations, such procedure will ultimately make for strained relations, distrust and ill- We are glad to see the state Com- munity oppose making such splendid head- lines and other directions, and we are hoping that the good work put under way in the state will be taken by the local committees of the same movement. We are long-lived to this movement and those patriotic and public-spirited citizens, both white and colored, who are earnestly striving to ameliorate the situation between the state and the state. TARVER AND YE SCRIBE. Some of our people were surprised to see Prof. H. M. Tarver, candidate for principal of Prairle View State College, who spent several days in this city, bobnobbing with this writer; particularly since we have been so outspoken in our position against the San Antonian as the next head of our state college. Because men differ and have opinions of their own, is no sane or rational reason why they should be personal enemies, and this writer has never been able to find room in his heart to harbor any ill-feeling against any person he may oppose or that may oppose him or his program. If Mr. Tarver should be elected principal of Prairle View, even though we have stubbornly opposed the appointment for reasons other than personal, he would find us just as willing to assist and aid his cause and program as if we were an original Tarver supporter. When we get licked in a fight, we offer no alibi or subterfuge, and are willing to admit our opponent was either the best man or had the "long est line." Knowing Mr. Tarver as we do, we know that he is too big for such foolishness and nonsense; for all sensible and reasonable men grant every man the right to have an opinion and express it, even though they hold disvergent views. Call again, Br'er Tarver; we admire men of your pluck, push, courage, grit, determination and perseverance. STILL THEY COME: Last week we mentioned in this column that we had been remembered with a few tokens on our birthday, and we have been remembered since that article was written, my scribe has received a few more grits from the writer, and we have connected with Carthon's THE HOUSTON INFORMER TUSKEGEE VETERANS HOSPITAL HEARING ENDED LAST FRIDAY; FORMER HOUSTONIAN INVOLVED Washington, D.

Dr. Plecker exhibited a chart showing that the families in question were from a colored woman, probably with Indian blood. He used writing for the children and their parents declared they knew the ancestor resided in a full blood Indian woman. Refuting this testimony, Leonard B.

J.-It is said that despite the protests of her parents Miss Helen Burns, of 16 Walnut Terrace, this city, says she will marry William E. Jackson, of Montelair, who when he obtained a marriage license in New York Wednesday, admitted that he was of Negro blood. It is claimed that he told the clerks in the marriage license office that his mother was part Negro, her father being white and her mother colored. He added, it is said, that he had always passed as white. Ruling that Jackson was a Negro, Assistant Corporation Counsel Tarbox consented to the license grant. When they learned Thursday that Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, vigorously protested against the marriage, but their daughter was firm in her determination to marry Jackson. The girl's grandmother, who lives at the Walnut Terrace address, is said to have sided with her granddaughter and spoke of Jackson as a man of high character and declared that she was emphatically in favor of the marriage. Nothing could be learned as to the date of the proposed wedding. Scores Shelks and Cake Estere. Miss Burns is reported to have declared that she was sick and tired. Officer Testifies. PRICE: 5 CENTS Shellenberger told the court that after the firing, which came from the second floor of Sweet's home, he went to the Sweet residence. The door was open, and the house was open. He was a police officer. "What the hell are you fellows shooting for?" and Dr. Sweet replied that the people outside were ruining his house. The officers said that the only damage he could find that the house was too huge in an upstairs front window. Darrow cross-questioned the witness at length. He inquired of the witness if he had found out whether the coming of Dr. Sweet has been discussed at the meeting of the Waterworks at the meeting of the Improvement Association, whose he knew of any meeting in the delictimate store near Dr. Sweet's home; and whether he noticed the arrival of numerous automobiles and taxis paid in the shooting. The winns were replied to the negative to all these questions. Schuknecht told Darrow that he found several stones and quite a number on the lawns and porch outside of the building. He said that he did not hear or know Negros, whose names were Smith and Shafer, were beaten up in the district prior to the shooting. The eleven defendants are: Dr. Ossain H. Aswell, the lawyer, of the wines, Henry Sweet, senior at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, brothers; and Joe Mack, the Sweet chauffeur. These five live at the Garland Avenue address.

Mr. Jackson is gentleness and courteous; he thinks humor is the best way to be quoted as saying, "I didn't want to be a Negro, but now the fact that I went to stop, stop me from marrying."

At the time Grange got the appeal, all the 68,000 seats had been sold. The ticket officials could not help him. That did not stop Grange. He started his canvans and wasn't thrown for a lose. He got the tickets. The Negro, who attended Wheaton, Ill. high school when Grange played there, had his wish gratified.

After having taken all necessary steps to fight the city and state residential segregation laws in the courts, the local branch of the National Association of Homesteaders pealed to the Association of Commerce to use its influence to check the attempted enforcement of the segregation laws until the United States Supreme Court could review and decide on the cases already carried to the higher court. Thousands of Negroes here are Monday, said that homestead investment purchases of shares in the homes of the Negroes were being jeopardized of these purchasers are buying investment field was being demolized. The committee went on in the so-called "white districta." When the police stopped arrests of the tenants, the Court had restoring tenants for alleged violations of the segregation ordinances, the homestead associations were the first to feel the need to restore tenants and that many of them are withdrawing their deposits. The committee from the homestead league, at the conference NEGRO RIVERMEN WILL RETAIN OWN UNION IDENTITY NEGRO RIVERMEN DETROIT PICKED WILL RETAIN OWN BY MASONS FOR UNION IDENTITY NEXT COUNCIL The Negro longshoremen and screwmen will retain their own union identity, Mr. M. H. Johnson, president of the Longshoremen's Protective Union Benevolent Association, told a representative of the Houston Informer this week. The steamship interests are insisting on a consolidation of the longshoremen and the screwmen into one union and plans to this effect are being worked out this week. Last Sunday a joint meeting of the white and colored dock workers was held and this gave rise to a report that all the workers would unite in a single union. It has been agreed, it is learned, that the longshoremen and the screwmen will consolidate but the whites and the colored workers will each have a separate union. The colored or other workers largely outnumber the whites. Since the strike two years ago, the United States Shipping Board has been the largest employer of union labor and has been paying 80 cents an hour. Non-union men are receiving only 65 cents an hour and the union men have been requested to accept a cut to that figure. A compromise offer of 70 cents has been tentatively accepted. Boost the Y. M.

SPEAKERS WILL PUSH MOVEMENT IN SUNDAY MEET No movement since the Emancipation of the Negro has ever meant as much to the Negro as the inter-racial movement that is now being carried forward by some of the best white men and women of the South, in co-operation with the black women and women of the same section. Happy are we to know that the day has come in which we are privileged to know the problems with the men and women who hold, no matter what we mean to say or to the contrary, our deserves. To help our group to a more comprehensive conception of the import of this movement, we are inviting every member of the race to be present at the Odd Poll. Temple Scott, the No. 16, at 3:50 p.m., listen to a discussion of the subject by two of the most distinguished speakers that it is possible for us to obtain—namely: Gen. Jacob F. Wolters, an honored citizen of this city, one of the finest type of southern white men, whose name is a house and a world of man, and D. G. W. Lewis of Alabama, representing the finest type of our Negro citizenship and a southerner to the manor born, who has a very thorough understanding of race relations and knows the institutions of the South as he knows his alphabet. He comes highly recommended by the public. He is a man of no mean ability. Although as a man of no mean ability, the purpose of this meeting is to raise funds to carry forward a citywide survey of every condition effecting the life of the Negroes of Houston. This is a tremendous undertaking and no group is better fitted to undertake it than the general group of life and colonels of citizens. All of the benefits to be derived from the survey will come to our group, and for that reason we cannot, we must not, allow the white members of the committee to assume all of the responsibility for financing the undertaking.

TOPIC TYPIC—Psalm 15:14 Brave in Psalm 15:14 JUNIOR TOPIC-Paul and the Jerusalem INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-Paul and the PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-The Spirit of the Mesh. 1. Paul's Vow (21:15-28). Upon Paul's arrival at Jerusalem he brought him a most cordial reception. In order that the brethren in Jerusalem might graciously receive him, it was necessary to take a Jewish law to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law. The effort to remove prejudice. The effort to take a Jewish law to prove that he would in no way compromise or involve the Gentile brethren. Furthermore this would not compromise his Jewish law. The effort to take a Jewish he became a Jew, and to the Gentiles, a Gentile; all things to men in order to gain them for Christ. How far this act conciidated the Jews we are not told, but it only engendered the unhering Jews, causing maddened Jews on the basis of a supposition set him and dragged him to the Roman guard. The chief captain, from the howling mob, from the howling mob, bound Paul and started for the castle. In order to lay siege of the castle, the army of the mob, the soldiers lifted upon their shoulders and bore him up the skirts. Paul kept himself under the captain of the captain to speak to the people. When he beamed upon him in Greek and the captain granted his request. III. Paul's Defense (22:1-27). Paul's chief concern was not his own safety. He used this opportunity to witness unto them of Christ. He used it for a Lightening hearing (vv. 1-3). 1) His birth (v. 3). 2) He was a Jew born in Tarus, a city near Jerusalem (vv. 2). 3) His Education (vv. 3). 4) He was educated under Gamaliel and instructed "according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers." He was as zealous toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2. His Attitude Toward Jesus (vv 4-5). “I persecuted this way unto the death,” so that his attitude was one of hatred as was that of the Jews. 3. How His Attitude Was Changed (vv. 6-18). While on his way to Damascus with authority to bind the Christians at Jerusalem, he was smitten to the ground by a light from heaven, and the voice of the Lord said, “Why persecutest thou me!” When Paul inquired what he was to do, he was told to go to Damascus where he would be told what to do. 4. The Lord Commissioned Him to Go to the Gentiles (17-21). IV. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (23:1-10). The Roman officer, in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commanded the chief council to assemble, and brought Paul before them. 1. Paul's Earnest Look at the Council (vv. 1-2). This was a solicitation of their honor to give him a fair hearing, and also a look of conscious integrity and unfaltering courage. 2. Paul's Stern Rebuke of the Head of the Council (v. 3). “God shall smile thee, thou whited wall.” 3. Paul's Appeal to the Pharisees (vv. 6-10). Seeing that he could not get a fair hearing, and perceiving that the body before him was made up of Pharisees before him, he asked the Pharisees hoping to get their attention, for his preaching had something in common with their belief. He said to Paul (v. 11), "This assured him that his course was right, and thus comfort was brought to him. Conspiracy to Kill Paul (v. 15, 122). More than forty men placed themselves under a curse to abstain from eating and drinking until they had been defeated their plan without a miracle.

QUESTIONS—ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY To produce a winning team in the game of life, or one that will make a better showing on the gridiron of time, we must replace our coaches, trainers, captains and players with men who know the game thoroughly and who will not flinch or falter even in the face of overwhelming pressure. Our rosters must be made up of the ranks of those who are "steel hilt" loyal and faithful to every racial cause, issue, ideal and institution.

K. Ware. The Pyramids were built as tombs astronomical aspects in true belief appear to have been secondary to the tombs as built as tombs for the dead. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATIONS BADLY NEEDED. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1925 Having noticed the activity upon the part of the Parent-Teacher Associations at the local white public schools and the recognition accorded these organizations by the board of education and head of the local public educational system, The Informer is of the opinion that our colored public schools, particularly the ward or elementary schools, should have such organizations. What building secrets did the Egyptians lans have which we do not possess? F. D. G. Springfield, Ohio. "DOWNED IN OUR TRACKS" TOO OFTEN! Football is life's most typical game and can only be played by sturdy, robust, alert, quick-thinking, courageous and determined Many. Their cement, color, rock drilling, lifting enormous weights, are but a few secrets which we no longer possess. Such an organization will bring the parents and patrons of the public schools in closer touch with the teachers, and will play an important factor in improving the conditions obtaining around the majority of the colored ward schools in this city. In a hectic and gruelling struggle for supremacy on the gridiron between two strong and powerful aggregations, the team will generally emerge victorious that puts up the best offense and defense; that has the best team-play and co-ordination of forces that has respect for its leadership, selected by the members of the team and not one superimposed on the eleven by some opposing team; whose players are a unit in every play called by the check or in breaking up the plays attempted by the opposing side. Was Zeus an African god?—G. C. V., Boston, Mass. Zeus was originally Cretan. The African colonists and it is supposed that Zeus was an African deity detain as he was believed to have once dwelt in the city of Cretan. So many of the colored parents and patrons of the public schools of Houston think that the teachers of the race should take the race into their own hands. They believe that the race and thus stop "pass the buck" on all such matters to the colored school principals and teachers, and then criticise and lambast said teachers when they do not take the lead in many matters arising in the local system that vitally and directly affect our children. How was the Moorish civilization destroyed? Oklahoma, Canton, Ohio. Moorish civilization was destroyed as a result of the religious wars by the Christians and the Mohammedans. Often it happens that some backfield player will punt the pigskin down the field in order to get his team out of danger, and before the opposing player can catch the punt and get in a dash across the gridiron, the punter's forwards will rush through and down the player, catching the football, in his tracks; and thus he is unable to "get away." This is no brief for colored principals who are more concerned about holding their jobs and making a hit with the school head than in seeing to it that the children on their school campuses do not have to wade or swim in water every time it rains, or that the school structures are lily heated, poorly ventilated and withal unfit for modern school use; yet if many of these men felt that the parents of the children and patrons of the schools were interested in a concrete and tangible manner, their interest in a concrete and tangible manner, they could doubled more inlcluded and encouraged to do more in this respect than they are now doing or have done in the past. Who was Jehroh—D. K. T., Fulton, Ky. Jehroh was a priest of Midian and Jeroh was a priest of Moses. He was of Arditeh. Too often in the battle of life is our race "downed in its tracks," due largely to the fact that we are not playing the game as we should and as we must, if we intend to win the contest and reflect credit and honor upon our racial continent. What was the greatest city of ancient Ethiopia?—G. H., Kansas City Missouri. Too often our racial captains and leaders can not be depended upon to call the right play; too often they lose sight of team-play in an effort to "star" and "shine" and become the individual heathman. Too often they throw their team and get their team thrown for several yards; too often they "ditch the game" for financial consideration or for empty honors or mere praise from the race's opponents; too often they become excited, lose their fighting heart and either fumble the ball or lose the game. Too often they are the determined drive and furious attack of the opposing players. The city of Merco, often called the Kingdom of Merco, inasmuch as it was the capital of Egypt, late archaeologists have claim that the city was once closer across the northern littoral of Africa, including even the Gold Coast of this true, then Ethiopia was inedible. Some of the ward schools formerly had such associations, but it appears that most of our colored principals looked askance at the movement and did everything they could to discourage and destroy them. The school board, in an act of astonishment and actively engaged in this work, finally threw up the sponge and abandoned the cause. Any number of improvements were made at some of the ward schools through this organization a few years ago; these women were involved in the construction of rocks, rocks, shell and gravel, instead of in mud, slush and water, under some of the ward school buildings; they even bought rocks, dirt and shell and filled in many of the holes, ponds and sloughs in the school yards, when the school system was directly connected with the school grounds. It was also made it possible for the children to have planes and phonographs. PUBLIC FORUM Too often our representatives in this great game of life sigh when they ought to be zagging and zag when they ought to be zigging when a line plunge ought to be employed they attempt an aerial jump or aerial flight in the logical way, they invariably try an end run or center smash. Darrow and The Narrow Often, because of confusion in calling and giving signals, due principally to weak-knuck, pussyfooting, jelly-fish and truckling, the opposing team often picks up the own players and often cause one of their players to fumble the ball; with the result that the opposing team often picks up the fumbled pigskin and races across the goal for a touchdown, and this score generally means victory for our opponents and defeat for our opponents. By William Pickens. (For The Associated Negro Press.) The most impressive thing about the other ten colored people in Detroit so far at the effort to select a jury of white people, even in a common politan northern city, admit under that they are "no proplegued" against colored people to sit properly on a bench, but that they are "no proplegued" against the onlooker that some of them did not intend to make this admission when they came forward to be tested in a court of justice, matured, but persistent and penetrating mind of Clarence Darrow would cry out, as if in complete公理, for prospective woman-juryman would finally confess: "The cause of something the happened to me was not a proplegued, couldn't have an unbiased judgment." Or some other person who had been accused of being he had made up his own mind and who is suddenly asked now whether he had made up his own mind and who is suddenly asked now whether he accepted the evidence independent of what he says defended? "I guess I had better." The colored parents and patrons of the public schools of Houston need to take more interest in their children's education and welfare; and this can be best done only in an organized way and through the instrumentality of the parent-teacher association. The school district is not the only necessary here to go into a lengthy discussion of its merits, and the Informer suggests that the colored parents and patrons of the various ward schools, particularly the mothers of children attending these several schools, perfect such organizations and put forth some concerted efforts to assist the teachers and help the children with some lines as similar organizations among other races in this city. Sometimes our players block the punk of their own backfield kicker when he is trying to punt out of danger or making a try for a field goal; and sometimes this punter stands too near the line of scrimmage to get off any long range pumps. Many of our players take "cold feet" and show the "yellow stank, just as soon as our opponents snap the ball into play, after receiving the kickoff, or the moment the opponents kick the ball off to our team when the referee's whistle proclaims the game begun. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOUNG FOLKS! Cases are on record where our players, with the ball in their arms and a clear field, have pulled off the 'bonus' of carrying the ball. One of the most trusted employees of a local colored undertaking establishment "went south" recently with several hundred dollars worth of goods, it is alleged, and sold them to another colored undertaker; who, when his attention was called to the fact that the goods were stolen property of a competitor, immediately reimbursed the loser the full monetary value of the stolen goods. Frequently our coaches and trainers, anxious for victory and forgetting themselves for the moment, will rush on the playing field and cause our team to be penalized; often they will insert men in the lineup because of friendship, religious or fraternal reasons, when they know that there are other men on the sidelines and need to play the position than the man selected for the job by them. We mention this incident because it is just another case where our race so often falls down; too many of us want something for nothing, and when we can not make a living by our wits, we proceed to do everything and everybody. Not infrequently our rooters will cheer and applaud a play that means defeat to their cause, due either to their lack of knowledge of the game, downright ignorance or their wonted deception and deceit. To an intelligent colored man, sit by and look on, in these people disease, and Clarence Darrow, coo and humans, and seems to be probing into hurt him. He does not act as if he wished hurt him. He seems evidently doubtful of his ability to be possible. Now and then by some good nature remark, or some humourous half-writing patient, he makes them all laugh, even the patient himself. He seems determined to hurt, he seems determined to find the root of that cancer of race-hatred, he seems determined to hurt. He usually finds it. The onlooker, who has had much experience with him, does not conceive of sometimes the man under the knife was doing his best to conceive of him in a jury—for reasons best known to him—harmed-specifically as sure are we alive, when he said he did not belong to 'any other kind of man' in which he mentioned. We wondered as to whether Darrow saw the Very few colored concerns are able to stand such losses or be victimized in such a manner; and it is to be regretted and deplored that such incidents are always happening, both here and elsewhere. Offtimes our players on the sidelines will pull for our team to lose the game, merely because they are not given a chance to enter the fray and "shine" as individual stars; and are long the team as an assuender by internal bickerings, wrangling, clauses and factions. Not only ought we not to steal and rob our own people, but we should be honest and honorable with and in our dealings with all people and races; for, when employers reach the point where they are going to steal, we must honesty and integrity, our race is going to suffer considerably. Then, again, so many of our coaches do not know the proper time in the game to yank a player or insert a player; and many of them are trying to coach and train our team without even having the principles of the game themselves or even knowing the rudimentary principles of the game. Often race men of means, when asked why they do not embark in some big business venture to afford employment and training to our young people, will argue the point that such few young Negroes can be relied upon and trusted. Too many of our players want to make the 'varsity team in their freshman year, and are not willing to serve their days of apprenticeship as substitutes and practice material for the regular eleven. One leading colored professional man once made the statement that, despite the fact that he had been living in Houston for fully 20 years, he did not know 12 young colored men, between the ages of 18 and 30, that he could or would trust even with a $10 loan. Our team is always committing so many blunders and errors of commission and omission that it is quite a difficult matter for victory to perch on our racial standards; and we seem to be so dense and thick-headed that we can not profit through experience nor try some of the same tactics and trick-plays engineered and staged so successfully by our racial opponents. This is a terrible and ringing indictment against any race or people, and, while the situation may not be as dark and dismal as portrayed by the above race citizen, our young people certainly do need more character development, and this principle must first be instilled and inculcated into the children around the family in water. (We have very few hearths nowadays in modern homes.) In other words, folks, our race is doing very little in a concerted and co-operative way, of a constructive and beneficial nature, save in our church and lodge circles; we have little, if any, teamwork and teamplay, and we suffer entirely too much because of rotten, rank and putrid leadership and crab characteristics among both leaders, players and followers. Darwin never raised his voice, never darrow to feel anything, never ap- pared to feel anything, never de- scindice which the subject dislocated. It the human soul to be ex- amined took the human soul to be ex- amined. In the final analysis, character and not color will be the determining factor in men's and races' dealing with each other, and the man or race devoid of this essential attribute will find himself or itself in a terrible dilemma. Finally, friends, we are downed too much in our tracks; we too easily lose our fighting heart, morale and equilibrium, and HOUSTON HEARD FT. WORTH SAGE IN FINE SPEECH HOUSTON HEARD FT. WORTH SAGE IN FINE SPEECH Last Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the Dell Fallows Temple, a large and demonstrative crowd listened to W. H. M. McDonald of Pt. Worth, grand secretary of the Masonic fraternity of Texas, deliver a lecture reiterating the constructive criticism on the Negro leaders' lack of common sense in their race intruded on their care and keep them after a short but spacious introduction by the speaker by M. McDonald launched into his speech, laying down the predicate that successful men must financial, mental and physical ability, and stated that the Negro through education ability the race displays in the use of the world acknowledges the physical prowess of the race, but it also acknowledges the ability the race displays in the use of the world. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the Negro's ability to organize, give and deliver a race had been forced by the races to organize churches, lodges and in It was while speaking of the churches and lodges that McDonald made some of his most bitter criticism on the Negro's common sense. "Every since before I was born," said the speaker, "the Baptists of Texas, (and I can personate them, because I am a Baptist) have been raising money to build schools in this state, and today, regardless of the fact that the Baptist number not less than 50 per cent of the entire colored population in Texas, they haven't a decent, respectable school in the whole state manned, owned and controlled by Negro Baptists. The fault," said he, "is not in our people not being good followers, for God knows the Negro will follow any kind of leadership; the fault is in the leadership. Any cause is bound to suffer where the leaders grow fat and richer, while the cause they represent grows constantly thither and poorer. "No cause on earth, however meritorious can expect to succeed where meritorious can expect to receive five 95 cents out of each dollar for the cost of collection," roared the president in paying his respects to the lodge he criticised severely the lack of competence and depositting it annually in banks owned by our people and receiving a paltry 4 per cent for its use, and stubbornly refusing to organize a Negro bank, with Negroes. "Any one listening to this man's years of experience flaying our leadership, and the leadership we could, could not help but recall. The informers many appeals to our people and build up strong substantial assets stop spending money for good times and build up strong substantial assets girls a means of making an honest living commensurate with their ambitions.
