The colored section of the audience, filling half the vast arena, was equally representative. Many prominent colored people occupied boxes, among them being Dr. and Mrs. M. S. Davage, Dr. and Mrs. J.

E HOUSTON INFORMER South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926 Colored America Made Wonderful Strides Last Year In Many Respects By and all, colored America has more than held its own in the year of our Lord, 1925. Fighting against odds, as always, the race has had some valuable re-inforcements, and more than at any time in the history of the country, since the days of the Civil War, the problems of the Negro have become the problems of America. True, some of the things that have brought the problem to consideration have been left-handed, but, once to the front, results have proved that after all, in the deep recesses, the heart of America beats right. There must, however, be this warning: among whites in New York, Chicago, and other cities, it may well be done, and there must be a constant "pursuit of happiness," through organization, reading, travel, understanding, and adequate financing. SEGREGATION For the time being, segregation, in its multifaceted, ramifications, has been the greatest fight of colored America. Born of the South, segregation has grown into a powerful football in every section of the United States. The White South has so indulged itself in such practice that, in that section, it has become such a fixed practice that it is very difficult to protest, but certainly not without silent indignation of those who know the injustices, and are by force of handicaps and hardships of it! The handicaps and hardships of the Negroes. Some who have benefited by some forms of segregation, and such segregation, and such of them as have come North with the segregation and another, sought to bring ideas of segregation into communities where, and another, sought to bring ideas of segregation has been especially true in the matter of schools, where some have contended for them "because it will give more to the South," and while there are many others from the South, however, who have brought segregation into communities where and while they endured conditions of segregation in the South, they stoutly contended for North. The white southerner, president in his contensions until death, continues to unquestionably believe in the effect of segregation and brings with him a propaganda of determination that a unquestionable belief in the effect of segregation The acuteness of segregation in 1925 has been found in the field of housing. There has been a dangerous trend in the U.S. population, where, peaceful and general, heretofore, peaceful and general communities, because, perchance, colored Americans have purchased properties in certain so-called "white neighborhoods." The Associated News, in the U.S., has said that the study and observation to this trend of American conditions. One of the greatest dangers for future well-being is in the fact that many white people who have long since been known to have had a "white neighborhood" much concerned about inroads upon realty possession in better neighborhoods. Many of these so concerned are large employers of Negro-fabled individuals. Some of them frankly state that "while we wish the Negro to have all his rights, and to be given justice, we do not wish him to live next to us, because it depreciates property." There are others who are out on the land, and others who are not. “Colored people should live among themselves,” Some of these who thus express themselves, are zealous in helping to maintain Negro-chibimichs, strong claim to the faith of Jesus Christ, who have had their own experience, or true, now in the adjustment of housing matters, will, of necessity, be only temporary! Time will continue to be the great adjunct to the present. White neighborhoods will become black neighborhoods, and black neighborhoods will again become white neighborhoods, according to the world of the world. The black, white, and black New York, through Chicago to Los Angeles, and down through the South, Negroes have owned property that today has values of billions rather than millions. They could not hold it against the great business and the demands of capital. The shifting of racial populations in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City, and many other cities after the 1920s has been a "new" place almost miraculous in some instances. There are two ways proposed that some benefit at this time. All of the buildings that may be torn down, and upon upon upon it, may be done being HOUSING In the South, except in some sections on school bonds, the Negro continues to be a victim of political disfranchisement. There are some whites, and some blacks, South, who say they expect again to see the day when the Negro citizens will be granted the right to vote. In many of the larger cities of the North the Negro has attained a larger share of political power. This is true under the republicans in Chicago and Illinois, where the leadership of Edward H. Wright has reached unquestioned standards; and in New York, under Ferdinand Q. Morton of the democratic organization, where through the power has been made a strong nation, Morton has been able to function with success for colored America. Nationally, colored America continues to hold a truly pathetic position in politics. There are individual Negroes who have measured influence with some individuals in national political life, but there are neither individual Negroes, nor is there political organization among Negroes in a national way, sufficiently strong to force real attention on subjects affecting the Negro. In this connection, the recent message to congress from President Co. L. L. of the United States, which has created more adverse comment than that of any message by a president in recent years. The majority of Negroes believe in the simple cause of the proposed action, but are of the opinion that he stated his position in a manner that will not result in the largest helpfulness, and his words fail to carry the proper constructiveness and force of executive authority. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Colored America has forged ahead many years working from 1925. Favored programs include the country. The number of failures have been fewer than heretofore, and the country has created an en-purpose program. This includes no-departure, local and other programs. POLITICAL ships and new corporations have been formed, that promise splendid results for the future. In some places three years ago a cooperative, hiring, with good results, IN THE HIGHER ARTS Along the lines of music and literature, in particular, and too, in painting, sculpture and other art, colored paintings are progressing in that is beginning to get the general understanding of the important organizations are fortunate in developing the means to award those of the highest achievement in various forms of art, a fine spirit of competition, but is bringing to the attention of the general public more or less in being more or less in obscurity. Aided by the inspiration of success, many of the development and usefulness. "Negro spirituals" have taken a place, in the field of American music, both within and without the race, in the field of both races have selections of Negro spirituals, or of many of them have composers, who have caught a quality of soul expression than few can equal, and in many very appreciative may well merit a place in the sun along the lines of music development, and in what is very appreciative RELIGION Colored America continues to be rural and is often taking the form of community services centers; continues to believe in prayer and faith with experienced members of the attitude of white Christians, there has been deprivation of the Negroes, that furnishes rather biting and wretful comments on the value of the people of people believe in the teachings of mass of people believe in the teachings of the cause is one of the most dependable traits of the race. ATHLETIC. OUTDOOR LIFE Colored America takes to athletics and outdoor life. In all of the various outdoor games football, baseball, tennis, golf, and basketball, many who are worthy of to produce many who are worthy of who are quietly at work hoping for the time to come when all entries in the games are accepted on merit, but this time has not yet arrived. It may however, be easier to arrive, or more accepted on merit, than are men who love hunting, rowing, hiking, and the call of the great outdoors. In both conditions, both conditions and there is hope that thousands in the congested cities 'may more and more become interested in God's great outdoors. CRIME Negro crime has been considered from a more impartial viewpoint in recent years than was formerly the case. The public got their opinions of the criminal tendencies of the Negro so-called, from the big headlines of daily newspapers. Incessant effort, North and South, has practically done away with the big headlines, because of race, and all criminals, regardless of race, are treated alike. It has been found by surveys, impartially conducted, than many are "more sinned against than sinning," and there is a larger disposition to mete out even handed justice. DEATHS There have been many deaths of well known and useful people. There have been many deaths of Charles Stewart of Chicago, who years formed a helpful link between the race and the civil war, who was founder and president of the first old life insurance company, outcome Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta and Washington, who held unusual and unique political field among publicans. WHAT OF 19267 The year of 1926 is rich in promise in all lines of activity. In business, literature, industry, farming, and all lines where there are productive possibilities, colored America has a chance. The race must be mindful of the eternal opposition, but the "right thinking white people" are increasing in number, and they, for the most part, have the courage of their convictions, North and South. Where, yet they have not quite the courage, but the convictions, even this is to be appreciated. The better mind of white America is getting better; the mind of oppression and depression within and without the group, is be N.A.A.C.P.PASSES $30,000 MARK IN RACE DEFENSE FUND CAMPAIGN; GOAL NOW ADVANCED TO $65,000 Special to The Informer.

But that was not all. During the rally the men had been guilty of much bragging. At the banquet, the ladies demanded an humble apology. An entertaining program was rendered at the banquet.

BEST WISHES FOR A THE HOUSTON INFORMER And Its Readers From the THE LOUISIANA WEEKLY C. C. DeJOIE, President O. C. W. TAYLOR, Vice Pres. and Managing Editor 537 S. 12th St. CHARITY HOSPITAL PATIENT CHARGED AS POLICE KILLER New Orleans, La., Diet. 30—Willem Johnson, age 42, both Chatharron Johnson and Billy Chatharron murder this week. Johnson is a pa- tient in the case, being closely guarded in that insti- tute. On Christmas Eve night a drunken colored man began shooting promenade Ghost Catholic Church. A 16-year-old girl was shot and killed while a man was struck by one of the bullets. Patrolman William C. Gruneau, hearing the shades, ran to the scene. The man was shot and instantly killed. The man cambed in the neighborhood carefully. Johnson applied at the Charity House on Christmas Day for treatment of his wife, who was conflicting takes and is his accident victim. He had been hit. The accused woman was Johnson but said that about 10 hours ago she had also injured in front of her home. Not Same Calibre Pistol. When Johnson's leg was probed a 32-caliber pistol bullet was extracted, and police officers, it appears at first that he shot at his murder. Cocaine Rooseling had been unable to locate the man for whom they were hunting, it was discovered that the killing of the police officer, who came to the hospital voluntarily and many persons express doubt that were the murderer and knowing the police officer to come to such a public place for treatment. Policeman Utters Threats. One of the city policemen Monday afternoon to be sent to trial, he should be taken out and lynched. While no violence is expected, Chief Robertson should be taken out and lynched. Recently no violence is expected, Chief Robertson should be taken out and lynched. Recently several complaints have been made against police have made indiscriminate arrests of colored people and it is felt that have been reported by Negroes. Patronel Grumwall, the police man killed, was well known among the colored people. His conduct as an officer of the average police who met with people who knew him卒, the officer had a reputation of being fearless but never drew a gun or used it, unless it was absolutely necessary. On the night when he was killed, shot the man who killed him, had the officer begun shooting when his first starter began toward the twelfth column of the circumstances under which he was killed. He was a police officer who is being a policeman who so carefully avoided using needless violence in Mrs. E. O. Moss of Roman Street, who has been very sick, is much im- proved. "KNOCKOUT PARTY."

Stop Complaining, Their Resolution Family Agrees Mother's Suggestion Is Best One to Be Followed. BY FLORENCE HARRI WELLS "W ELL, folks I've made a New Year's home from college home for the holidays, announced as he took place at the breakfast table the morning of the ELL talks I've ever been a New Yorker. "Resolution," he home from college for the holidays, announced at his place on the breakfast table the morning of the mother cheerful New Yorker smiled gaily at her hand-some and beloved only child. Grandmother worked adorably across the table at her bedside. "Three guesses?" Father laughed. "You're going to get out of bed in the Wrong." Ben grinned. "I haven't been doing it this vacation, I'll admit, but I've been at a window every morning this semester. Guess again." "You're going to bed before midnight, mother looked up hopefully." "Nothing doing, grandmother r. matter." "You're going to have a new girl ever new moon and get down to bust-up." You're going to bed before midnight," grandmother looked up hopefully. "Nothing doing, grandmother, my Your turn, matter." "You're going to cease having a new girl every new moon and get down to business in school." Mother looked quickly at her boy who had always seemed like a dear younger brother as well as a son. "You've come the nearest, mother. Nix, on the girl part, but I'm going to finish my senior year with a bang instead of just getting through as in other years," though that isn't exactly as I worded my resolve. Now what are the rest of my fond family resolving, before we delve any deeper into mine? What about you, dad? Ben beamed at each one, not waiting for any family verdict in regard to his new leaf. Ben, senior, laughed boyishly. "I'm resolved not to resolve anything, but as you insist, I'm going to turn over a new leaf and follow my wife's advice for a whole year and see what happens to me. Can't do much worse than I have done," he added. Inocically. "Some stunt, dad: mother's pretty good, but she's not good at solving, grasshadow." "The pretty lady for an old lady of anything. Guess I just try to be as good as I can." you never thought of receiving, you? "Bet I did," mother retorted. "But I haven't expected to broadcast it." I hadn't expected "You've got to though. It's only fair." ```markdown ``` "All right. I'm going to stop complaining." "Com plaining, mother? I've never heard you complain. Have you, dad?" "Not that I'd recognize," Ben, senior, agreed. "Yes, I do. We've had a hard year. Finances have been most stringent. Mother broke her hip" and we had a nurse for months. And we had a nurse for months. Some folks didn't do their part. I've enumerated those things; bought them; and they didn't do their part. But, mother, you never whipped. "But, mother, you never whined. You always said things jokingly." You always said I was rebeling and complaining; then, last week, your father came and told me I was indeed—I thought it a good many things in those hours we were fighting his way back. Two days later, son, you were telling me that some kind of accident in which many lose their lives. I've done a lot more thinking the last few days. I am blessed with my loving husband and equally loved son, and mother is still loving you. I am blessed with usual battering气, "I complain no more of everyday trials." "There dad, didn't I tell you, your rebellion was not a bad idea." I wormed mine that way. I meant to my I work hard to please my beloved parents. I will add, mother's advice this year. The whole family will quit complaining. How's that, and Mother ingaged. "Have some more coffee!" (©, 1935, Western Newspaper Union.) Face the New Year With Optimism Cheerfulness We ought to greet the New Year with a smile. Nothing else would seem to be appropriate. Fear for what it may bring, or vain regret for what we have left behind, are both alike unless and hurtful. To make the new year more like the last ought to have been, we will need courage and hopefulness—and a smile goes well with either. One thing, no matter what our past year has been, that we have drawn down the corners of our mouth too much, have had too little faith and expectation and high hope. If we face the future faint-heartedly, fearfully, fretfully, we mortgage its possibilities very seriously. If we are not convinced that something noble and worth while is possible in our own life, then it is not possible, for vision must precede realization. If we face the New Year with optimism, cheerfulness and hopeful expectation, we are better for it than if we faced it any other way. Whatever it may prove to be in reality, without our faith in it, and courage for it, it cannot be anything at all that is worth while.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1926 SOME OF OUR WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR! The Informer herewith submits some of its wishes for 1928, viz: That President Coolidge will make performance paramount to preachments, and that racial segregation will be abolished in the various governmental departments at Washington, D. C.; That Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and his ten other co-defendants will win a sweeping victory in their new trial at Detroit, Mich.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS The season of the year has arrived when making resolutions is the chief priority. Some of these people make these resolutions, but others try to keep them; while others make them with the hope that they will be able to make the few days of the new year, to say the some make no resolutions at all, realizing that they will never be able to make them. We have taught to say against it for it is far better to simp high even if your shot does miss its target and the man who never resolves to do thing is, in itself, will not get one harm; he must get up and put the inaction into action; turn up some. Here's hoping that all of you who are able to keep to them, bearing in mind that "not failure but loa Another writer says: "Hitch your wagons to the windows; wisdom mounts the Holy Writ declares: 'Be thou wagoner your resolution, etc), unto death your resolution, a three crown of Life."

MUSICAL NUMBER OF RACE.COMPOSER HERE JANUARY 18 MUSICAL NUMBER OF RACE.COMPOSER HERE JANUARY 18 *Hilawatha's Wedding Feast*, the colorful Indian beauty by S. Colledge-Taylor, will be presented at City Auditium Monday night, January 16, 2014, at 10:30 a.m. the world of Longjellow's famous poem, "Hawaii," was written by Colledge-Taylor for a performance at the Royal College of Music in London, and was first presented by the music hall Dearborn Hill in 1900. It is an English colored greetings card and is the most elegant exponent of musical art for this generation. He is one of the great composers of colorful music, who is recognized by both white and colored. Such men as Colledge-Taylor are an inspiration to the colored race, and they can produce a Colledge-Taylor, after whom our local club is named. The success of Coleridge-Taylor's opera, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," was immediate and decided, and it has since formed the principal attraction at numerous musical festivals both in Europe and America. The music of "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" is Indian, and as such, possesses all the weird, mystic charm characteristic of the Indian music. But the composer has avoided the mistake so frequently made by American composers along Indian lines: he has avoiders monotony, elusive for a rhythm of "Hiawatha Wedding Feast" as just enough repetition to convey the spirit of the Indian music, but not enough to become monotonous or tiresome. The most famous solo, "Onaway! Awake! Beloved!" is one of the most beautiful composition ever written for a tenor voice, and sung by Lambert Murphy, who takes the stellar role in "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," is a delight never to be forgotten. Among Mr. Murphy's re-engagements which speak for his popularity, are: Nine times with the Boston Handel and Haydn Society; eight times with the New York Oratorio; five times in the Worcester Festival; Five times in the Springfield (Mass. Festival); four times in the Ann Arbor Festival; four times in the Syracuse Festival, and three times with the Toronto Mendelssohn choir. The entire balcony of the auditorium has been taken over by the coloured Y. W. C. A., the net proceeds to be given to this worthy organization for the benefit of our young women. We want to urge our people to get behind this enterprise by purchasing tickets, and assisting in every possible way to make this concert a great social and financial success. We have the entire balcony, so the complaint that is so often heard of not being able to get good seats will not militate against this attraction. Give your friends a ticket to this fine concert for a New Year's present; it is a gracious way of remembering them, and also of helping the Y. W. C. A., which is, as we all know, such a worthy cause. Tickets may be secured through the Y. W. C. A., ground floor Odd Fellow's Temple, Louisiana and Prairie, moperraff disH. the SWEET AND WIFE WILL APPEAR IN NEW YORK JAN. 3 Special to the Informer. New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, announces that it has obtained the consent of the Michigan courts to bring Dr. and Mrs. Ossian H.

A beautiful Christmas tree and holiday decorations adorned the home and the glow of many light fixtures. Fifty or more friends called between the hours of 7 and 9 Refreshments, including Christmas INFORMOGRAMS As we approach the end of the old year, and hear the humming of the old tree, we look back over the past twelve months, and we mark on us are like the pastor of a Sunday, we find ourselves "wrapped in the balances and found wanting." For "wanting" - "hiding in as many places as possible" - "hiding with living; hiding in uselflessness." Nevertheless and "howmewonder," a new year is upon us and new challenges arise. Errors or sins have been in 1928, when 1865 hum with good deeds. Good deeds are things that make a fair beginning, but resolutions are like good intentions after an unfavorable region. We reflect a retrospective view of old 1925, we are brought face to face with the lines of a poem. "It's not the earth that leaves us, but which leaves us undone, which brings a bit of heartache, at the setting of the sun." On New Year's Eve night. It goes on to mention the tender words we forget in our life, lifted out of our brother's way, the letters we should have written, but we Another grand and noble character, a member of our group, passed away before the books of 1925 were closed. We speak of the Hon. Robert H. Terrell, Washington, D. C. Judge Terrell was one of the most distinguished figures in public life, having served since December, 1906, as judge of the Municipal Court of Washington. He was appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, in 1905, and reappointed by Taft in 1910, and again by Wilson in 1914. He received his last appointment from President Harding, in 1922. For years we have pointed to Judge Terrell with unstinted pride, as he filled his position with honor to himself and credit to his race and nation. As we mourn his loss we offer a prayer that the present incumbent of the executive chair will see fit to fill his place with another man of our group of the same calibre as Judge Terrell. Before the ink was dry on a paraphrase we penned a few days ago, cemeteries of officers and leading citizens of Mishawaka must take to supersize my jihadism, and another victim, Mississippi's Slist victim, a colored man, Linden Cohen, a nurse, quitted by a jury of white citizens, out of the court house, Coleman was sent, a rope was placed around his neck and he was dragged behind an eye to a spot where several other victims the victim was forced to drink a quart of water, and the rope was riddled with bullets and left on earth. This incident occurred while the entire world all was set for celebrating the advent of the Prince of Peace good will to men. "Battling Slist" is a more shot, but he is be reported to have spent half his days in this country.
