"COLORED" CRIMINAL'S COLOR CHANGED U.S. ANTI-LYNCH BILL KILLED HOME EDITION VOL. VIII "COLO U. S. THE MIRROR POWELL POINT SCHOOL Upon invitation of Principal T. B. Mitchell, we delivered the address to the graduating class of Powell Point Training School, located at Kendleton, Port Bend County, last Friday night. The second class was held at the second colored settlement and has seven teachers, including the principal, and its graduates complete the eleventh grade, along with vocational and home economics training. In July 1985, A. B., Wiley College, is principal, and started as head of this school when it only had one room and that in a rustic church. Today the school has five buildings, viz.: $10,000 Rosenwald recitation building, with a large and well-equipped library, and a large library of manual training buildings, girls' dormitory with dining room and home for teachers. The 1925-26 enrollment was 250, with daily average attendance of 225, with a slate-free building. General Educational Board of New York City; Smith-Hughes fund and educational fund of Port Bend County. Located in a rich and fortile black-异乡的乡, the community has several prosperous and well-fixed farmers, among whom are R. E. Pink and sons, John Pink, G. A. Allen, W. J. Taylor, W. I. Alton, A. B. Battle and T. B. Mitchell. Some of those conducting business enterprises are A. B. Mitchell. The A. B. Mitchell park where picnics are held; D. D. Guest, Mrs. Marie Jones, Robert Martin and William Guest. Cotton and corn are the chief agricultural products, and the land for about 100 years has been being owned almost exclusively by colored farmers. This colored community was established in 40 years ago by some freedmen, when the land sold at $2 to $5 per acre, while today the same land is selling at $100 to $135 per acre. Kendleton boasts of two or three white citizens, the postmaster and Southern Pacific Railway ticket agent, and these two men get along nicely with their exclusive colored Other members of the Powell Point school faculty are the following: principal and college graduate of Wiley College and classmate of Principal Mitchell; Mae. H. Banks, principal and college graduate of University, Atlanta, Ga., and the principal's spouse; C. H. Hanks, Prairie School graduate; the race to be employed as vocational teacher in the rural schools of Texas; Miss Conn Simpson, Houston, another principal; Miss Bessie Houlton, Houston; Miss Bessie Charles, assistant, graduate of Tuscaloosa; the school campus comprises seven school farms, a food court, a drinking hall, a athletic field, and according to the principal, the property is as large as the school campus. W. Word, county superintendent, and H. W. B. Emerson, secretary of the school board, will be the principal, efforts and achievements in that community, and the latter stated that several improvements will be made at the school. Two Houston physicians formerly practiced in this community, viz.: Dr. B. J. Covington and H. E. Lee. The former started at Wharston, just a few miles from Kendleton, while the latter hung out his first shingle at Kendleton, and thus today that little community claims both as their "sons." Friday night was a big occasion in the life of the community, and before the sun went to sleep behind the western hills, a regular automobile cavalcade had brought hundreds of children, men and women to the school campus, and long before the program began the spacious auditorium was filled to capacity. It was the first time the graduating exercises had been held in a building, for on previous years it was always held in the open air. Prof. Mitchell and his corps of teachers are doing a fine piece of work at the Powell Point School, and it has been largely due to the untiring efforts of the principal that the school has such a high rating and ranking in the educational world. For 20 or more years, he has tolled and labored with these people—right in the community where he was born and grew to manhood.

Lesson for May 30 JACOB AT BETHEL LUNDSN TEXT-Gerald 20:10-25 GOLDEN TEXT-I am with thee and thee place whither we go- great-Gerald 10:15-25 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jacob Dreams at Bethel. JUNIOR TOPIC: Jacob's Vision at INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC: POWERFUL PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC: The Place of Vision in Human 1. Jacob's Flight to Haran. He fled from an outraged brother. His deceit and amusing got him into trouble. His long exile from home was the result of his selfish ambition. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also reap," Rebekah made her plea before Issac for sending Jacob away, stating her fear of Jacob's probable marriage with a daughter of Canaan, when in reality she feared that Eauau would kill him. Isaac at once recognized the wisdom of her suggestion. He knew that the success or failure of one's life is largely determined by his marriage. It was clear that if Jacob were to continue in the line of his covenant, blessing care must be exercised in his marriage. Besides, it is a parental duty to see that children are well married. Among Christians only marriage in the Lord is allowable (1 Cor. 7:39). Issac, alive to Jacob's destiny, issued his command and bestowed upon him the covenant blessing which had come from God Almighty to Abraham (Gen. 17:1). The elements embraced in this blessing are: (1) A numerous offspring (v. 8). (2) Possession of the promised land (v. 4). (B) And everything that is included in the Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12:1-3 and Gen. 15:2-4). We should learn from the experience of Jacob. 1. Be sure your areas will find you out. Jacob deceived his father. He in turn was deceived by his children. That wrong home life has its peril. Iain knew that the blessing was to be Jacob's, yet he planned for Euan to have the place of prominence. He would have given Euan a vension to give to Euan that which God had planned for Jacob. I. Jacob at Bethel. II. Jacob at Lord meets Jacob at Bethel (v. 10-12). With a spirit clouded by homestickness on the one hand and by fear on the other, he had a dream that night in which God appeared to him. In this dream Jacob beheld a ladder or stair reaching from earth to heaven, upon which angels were ascending and descending. Above the ladder stood the Lord who spoke to him. This ladder suggests a means of communication between earth and heaven, between man and God. Jesus Christ is the ladder which provides us a means of communication with heaven (John 151, 44:14; He 10:20-20). The became a real ladder to us, bridging the chasm between earth and heaven. He was a real man that He might identify himself with the race. He is very God, really divine, that He might lift us up to God and secure a reconciliation with Him. Earth and heaven, man and God, were separated by the introduction of sin, but through Christ a means of intercourse is re-established. This vision suggested to Jacob that the only approach to God was through a mediator. The angels se- The men of God were so far off from God and descending are heavenly messengers which are sent to minister to man through the mediator's work of Christ (He, 2:14). God speaks to him at the top of the ladder and denied him that He is the God who entered into covenant with Abricians and newed the same unto his father Isaac (v. 18). This assurance embraced the following: (1) The possession of the land (v. 18). (2) A numerous offspring (v. 14). The presence of him of personal presence and presence of him. This promise was fulfilled in a marriage with Jacob and is still beheld by him. Jacob was vowed to the Lord (vv. 16-22). He was vowed as a monument the stone which he had for a pillow. He named the place Bethel, which means the house of God. Jacob now vowed to the Lord himself, gamed himself to perform all this for him, he would enthrone God as the Lord of his life and give back to him one-tenth of all that was given to him.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) the Far North grow side by side with T THE head of Lake Michigan, including the entire shoreline of Indiana and parts of it, adjoining shores of Illinois and Michigan, there is a dune country, unique and wonderful and entirely different from our usual ideas of sand dunes. The vegetation of the average desert or sandy region is usually an interesting example of the survival of the fittest, and most of the plant families remaining have adapted themselves to the severe conditions of their environments. Desert plants, too, are often strikingly beautiful when blossom; but their period of growth and luxury is very short, lasting only through the rainy season. Conditions are reversed in the Indiana dunes, for here there is never a long period of drought, and in place of a desert area there is a natural propagating garden, where, a most astonishing number of rare and beautiful plants congregate, having migrated both from the north and south to this unusually favored locality. Here, on the shores of a great fresh-water sea, whose moisture is constantly being carried southward by the prevailing northwest winds, and tempered both in summer and winter by its position on the lake, is a region as wonderful that it has been set aside by Indiana as a great state park for study and the recreation of millions of people of the Middle West. There are about 20 miles of shoreline, averaging a mile or more in distance, and 30 to 35 square miles of land, in the dunes, still unpolluted by commercial industries. This region is situated within the national park is a luxury beyond the people at a national cost for transportation. A visit to almost any one of the national parks is a luxury beyond the people of the Middle West; but the Lake Michigan dune region can be visited at all seasons and at a cost of, at the least, $100 per person even in winter, and many a party of students and other outdoor enthusiasts and the breathing air of the lake at that time of year. Attractions Are Varied. The attractions of the dunes are so varied that all classes may here find recreation suited to their wishes. The tramper, the geologist, the botanist, the artist, they all desire, and more than they can afford, the sandy beach and forested lake shore. The outfits of the dunes are always graceful; for Nature, though the dunes are still skill as an artist, and the exposed wind-carved sands are arranged in beautiful curves and outlines against The topography of the dunes lends itself to the formation of marvelous plant societies; great shallow ponds, with their typical borders of marsh-loving plants; deep, sheltered hollows, perfectly dry at the bottom; active stream beda, thickly fringed with willows, aiders and button-bush, with thickets of giant mallows on the smacky shores; north slopes, with trail-drift, with wintergarden, paradise, berry, hepaticas and violets, and rare ferns and orchids spread in artistic profusion; moving dunes, whose leeward sides extend slowly and surely south. In time covering even tall trees with their smothering blanket of sand; old dunes, clothed to their crests with vegetation, and at intervals "blow-outs," where reverse winds have uncovered ghostly tree trunks, gray and weather-beaten and entirely denuded of bark, but the wood still sound and perfectly preserved by the sand shroud with which it was surrounded. Many trees adapt themselves to the severe conditions on the more exposed dunes, frequently sending out roots from the ground to the�ood. The encroaching sand, and if again uncovered the roots immediately function as branches. This is particularly true of the cottonwood, which also sends out roots of remarkable length close to the surface of the sand, in this way making use of surface moisture. Trees, shrubs, and many plants from the Far North grow side by side with others whose natural habitat is many miles south of the lake, and the plant grows there. The plant and a joy to the botanist. The combination of underlying sand and humus, with abundant moisture, makes a condition of soil that is ideal, and the red soil of the plant grown that is almost tropical. The dune-floor vegetation is more striking than the arboreocent growth, and the wealth of herbaceous plant life is remarkable. Even on the exposed lake beach and on newly formed sand drifts pioneer plants are constantly springing up. Hardy grasses, sea rockets, artemelins, sand cherries and many others take advantage of the slightest opportunity, and around these plants embryo dunes form, which in time grow and join the everchanging and fascinating panorama of dune succession. As soon as a slight covering of humus accumulates, possession is taken by the stronger plant growth, and bearberry, juniper, arrow woods and sumacs soon fill up the vacant spaces, preparing the way for the tree growth that is waiting its turn. The black oak is the most complacious tree of the older dunes, but it is accompanied by many others, mostly decidious, although there are a few evergreens and one other conifer—the tamarack. Bassewood, poplar, tulip, smelane, juncberry, flowering dogwoods, white and gray plines and occasionally white, are all to be found in the drier parts of the dune sand and in the lower lands sour gum, red maple, swamp whiteak, pawpaw, cherry and the larger sumacs grow luxuriantly in the peaty soil. Over all the taller growth are scattered draperies of vines, softening the rigid outlines and adding their blossoms to the marvelous display. The herbaceous plant life is even more varied and wonderful. Great masses of bird's-foot and other violets, lupines, phlox of different colors, trillums, waxy bells of wintergreen and blueberry, hepatic, trailing arbusms—not just a few flowers, but acres of them and miles of acres—make a natural paradise which cannot be artificially duplicated. Coloring in the Marshes. The marshes have their own individuality of sedges, cat-tails, reeds, and borders of the larger fens—royal, cinnamon, and the interrupted or clayton. The Virginia chain fern in one of the drier marshes crowds out the less vigorous plant life, coloring with its fertile fonds great stretches of the marsh a beautiful septa. The blending of browns and greens in the marshes softens the landscape to an exquisite symphony of color in pleasing contrast to the more vivid coloring of the higher land adjoining. It is in autumn, however, that the dune coloration is at its best, for then the entire region becomes a faring landscape of gorgeous reeds and yellows. Nature goes into her winter rest with a last effort in color that is beyond adequate description. The sour gum, red maple, sumace, and sassafras discard their modesty and vie with each other in a gorgeous riot of autumn coloring. Many of the trees and less shrubs bear oak leaves fruits, providing food for birds and small animals. The bird life of the region surrounding the dunes provides abundant, and during migrations nowhere in the United States are there more varieties of both land and shore dunes, and the ruffed grouse, golden eagle, horned owl and the great blue heron still visit the dunes, and in wintertime the pine finches are attracted by the wealth of food. The dunes and distinctly traceless old shorelines tell the fascinating story of the glacial period uncluttered Lake Michigan. The near-vertical dunes as a most necessary object-leason of their natural science courses. The dunes as a most necessary object-leason of their natural science courses. Their place in the earlier history of the West. The old Indian trails can be seen through the dunes that the pioneer French found their way from Detroit to the site of Chicago at the mouth of the river.

(white) of the Grole and Negro plantation melodies so impressed Mr. St. Mark's Chanters, resist the desire to see and hear the old time Negro as Ms. Thomas sang many The Times wrote of the program and singers as follows: "A large and enthusiastic audience last night sang by St. Mark's Chanters Jubilee Quartet, at New Orleans, and the big night sang by St. Mark's Chanters Jubilee Quartet, at New Orleans, in upper St. Mark's Avenue. It was concert open to the public, and the white men and women outnumbered them, who were turned away at the door, as the audience was filled. The concert began, the fact that the Earl of Stradbroke lady Stradbroke the audience added interest to the ocean. The chanters have remarkably fine voices, exquisitely modulated and sweet as only African voices can be. The audience, with Thomas Phillips, tennor; W. H. Bride, bride; they sang such an优秀 favorites as Study Was You Met." "Peter Go Ring Dem Bells" and "Nobody Know." And they sang wonderfully "It is a pity, however, that the chanters of the church in their interpretations of the stories they all have excellent voices and the ability to work with them. Yet in the world to work with. Yet in many instances, they improved on the chant that resulted. "River of Jordan," for example (sometimes known as "The Song of the River"), lists those songs that the writer has ever heard and memorized that the chanters added—embellishments never heard among them. on the minstrel stage. It was very good, but it was far from artistic, and the Negro melodies of the cane and cotton field, and of the church and baptizing are art because of their very simplicity and sincerity. And yet one dislikes to criticize the channers, for they are making a real effort to preserve these fine old songs. The chanters are so very good that one wishes they were a little better. "In addition to the songs of the channers, there was a piano solo by Hilda McDonald, several comic recitations by Eloise Rose, a little girl; a song by Alma Lilly Hubbard, director of the music department at New Orleans College; a violin solo by W. Ray Carter, and group piano playing by Katie Wells, Helen Charles, Harriet Robinson and Althea Landry. There was also a number by the Apollo Clef Club."

PRESTON 65227 JESSON CLMER AND NIGHT IMPLEMENT HOUSTON, TEXAS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1926 THE MOLE FROM FRISCO (© by Short Story Pub. Inc) NOBODY would ever have dreamed of questioning Simil's right to be in the army. Simil had no conscience whatever concerning individual rights to property. That was just a link in his chain. Simil was in a bank in his early youth before he had learned the elementary rules of taking things without leaving a trail. Simil did not in the least look like a criminal as he sat in the hat of a man he was extremely hungry, having missed two consecutive meals owing to circumstances over which he had been overcoat, thrown cavernously over the overcoat, thrown cavernously over the back of a lounge seat, that looked as if he had been raised to raise the price of the good things for which his irane was crying out; and those dishes did not appear to Simil Grogman. Though Simil held in front of him an alarmed pay and appeared to be dead, the concentration was concentrated on the task of taking stock of his surroundings. When he threw away his cigar, aswired if bored to death, and made for the lift, he was taken to a room and walked slowly along the corridor without allowing anything in his demeanor to indicate the fact that one of his occupants was a career worker at hand. There came a silen t rude little man who had come from a room walk past him. For a fraction of a second he allowed himself to sit in a room joyful, he realized that it was still slightly open. Making a lightning calculation, he decided that it was an afternoon within the space of sixty seconds. As the pants went round a corner he was raised up. There was nothing worthy of his delicate attention on the dressing table excepting a purse, and that he crammed into his pocket for luck. Instinct and training took him to the proper places to search. He found nothing and fifteen seconds had shot past. One chance remained. His long, thin fingers stole under the pillow and the hard lines down the side of his mouth relaxed a little as he touched a box. Twenty-five seconds had elapsed. The box had just been drawn out and Slim was due to be back in the corridor on time, when the silken rustle returned abruptly. She stood in the doorway, tall and slender, like an unconscious queen. Her eyes had that peculiar quality in their amber hue that holds men firmer than steel chains. Without a trace of fear, she advanced a step, holding out a hand. "I will take that," she said, referring to the box, and Slim allowed her to achieve him of his burden. The tension was becoming more than he could bear with comfort. Had she uttered the word "thief," or looked scornful, he would have felt it gave him some sort of an opening. As it was, his only desire was for a pit to open through the eight floors beneath him and swallow him up decently. To raise his hat and bow himself out of the room seemed the thing to do. "Why did you do this?" she asked at last, after taking in every detail of her experience, and then his head to the sole of his book, with one comprehensive glance, he realized that untruths would serve no purpose here. As a matter of fact, he could not of an adequate invention, he knew he could not, and any conjectured story. He laughed slightly. Why not tell her the truth? Why not tell her the truth? he said gravely, but I was hungry. It is nearly evening and I have not yet had breakfast. The explanation remained an immobile as marble. If the man's explanation had touched a chord within her, she showed no france "You were taking a great risk," she. "Yes, the risk of starving to death, he answered. "It seems idiotic, in the circumstances, for me to make such a remark now, but I am sorry I did not. I also took your purse Here it is." The woman acceptible It like an傻 "It is," he replied, with an inward prayer that she would believe him. "I hope it may be the last. My fate, you see, is in your hands." "In what way?" "If you call the police, the chances are that I shall be forced into doing things similar to this all my life." "And if I do not call the police?" Slim's heart gave a gleeful bound. A man will say anything to avoid the penitentiary, but he was not stirred altogether by such motives. It was quite eight years since he had known the influence of any good woman. He felt a curious sensation in the region of the fifth rib. Had the circumstances been altogether different but he would have described it as something very like a case of love and mercy. And so men of sinfulness could have trusted him round her little finger like, wet string. You decide to do that I assure you most solemnly I shall never land myself in such a tangle again," he said; and the curious part about him was that he meant it. But Slim knew Slim. "You have no friends like me." He smiled a wry smile, but did it quickly. "I have none to whom I could look forward to," he said. The women's position was difficult, now that she had turned to the extent of asking personal questions. Socially, she had to be careful between them, save for the conclusive argument that she had found him with her precious boy in his hand. Had he been a friend, she would have lectured on the ethics of personal possessions might have been easy. But he was no means it at ease and was not willing to let them "I hope my judgment is not at all the sadly, holding his spellbound to him, but I fancy this will be a grim lesson to you. Go!" she extended her hand, pointing toward the door. The slender man, with a long nose, held him. He bowed, and then, acting on a quiver dropped, on one knee, he stared at her. "Not been an attractive scoundrel, she might have dragged her fingers away and laid out with an improbable air of good breeding, and a moment later he was making for the entrance of the room." He was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he did not notice a man on the sidewalk nod to him, slightly as he stepped out into Fifth avenue. The man was Lofty Cobb, whose chief and most profitable art consisted of writing other people's signatures according to pattern. The chill air on Slim's temples refreshed him after his ordeal and he decided to walk to his flat. He seemed to be treading on moochebreams and, such is the effect of a woman's eyes at times, mundane hunger had left him Slim, was not even thinking of his luck, except if he pleicing two and two together the police would have been able to make him an extremely sorry man, for once he landed into their clutches there was no knowing what they might find out, and there were a variety of incidents in Slim's secret history which it would have caused him pain to discuss with the police. All he was concerned with on his way homeward was a beautiful fairy, tall and slender as a lily, whom he was doomed to worship from afar during the rest of his days. Of course, it was a preposterous position for him to have been caught in, still, that was his punishment. Six months ago he had stood to win Piregna fortune if only the call to Piregna had a great knelt down half way round the course. Now, if only Pippin had— Bah! He asked himself whether he were going crazy. If so, crazy men were to be envied, for it was a most enjoyable process. In his fine life it's a pipe and dwell in a land of dreams until sheer hunger drove film out into certain haunts which were not frequented by the highest society, though in its own way the company was select. One could always depend on a good meal there at the expense of those with whom one did study business. The other fellow never quite knew when he might be in need of a Samaritan. In this case the other fellow was Leffie Cobb, who gave Slim the glad eye and a porterhouse steak. A quarter of an hour later they were both comfortable and chatty. "Saw you this afternoon coming out of the Regale," said Leffy, "but you were up in the clouds and didn't notice me. I thought perhaps you'd been doing business with the Duke. He went in as you came out." Slim shook his head. "They say the Duke always works alone," he replied, casting his mind back over what he knew of that elegant's record. The Duke's specialty was acquiring the jewels of wealthy but careless folk in places like hotels. "Um-m! They say so," agreed Leffy, "but that's where he will score one day when trouble comes hopping his way. He always travels with a partner and hands the stuff over to her the minute he gets his fingers on it." "Women are a peck at that that looks like a duchee. Big angel eyes that get you fed and a face that reminds you of angle playing harpa. You're a girl, you're strangers to each other, but I spotted them putting their heads to each other. They are her years ago, somewhere. If I'm not mistaken she's a party girl. If Frisco kills her but she looks different, tugged up as she is now." It looks like lots of faces that look very much alike," remarked Sim in a queer voice. "Leddy refectly, blowing rings of cigar smokes. "All the same I'd like to have a peek at the back of her left hand." "If she's Frisco Kate there is a mark there like a very large mole, "Of course, that would settle it." said Sim absently. He had kissed a few moments later he got up abruptly and went out into the night, there to seek distraction by rubbing his eyes. BAGS NOW!

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1926 REPUBLICAN SITUATION IN TEXAS (Editor's note: Since writing this editorial, Congressman Wurzbach has opened his campaign for re-nomination, and several republicans plan to seek the party nominations against the Creeger candidates in the July primaries. With the arrival from Washington, D. C., of Congressman Wurzbach, the Creeger regime in Texas, and promise to expose the Creeger regime in Texas; and with "Rotten Boss" Creeger and the "jolly" consort and political (Editor's note: Since writing this editorial, Congressman Wurzbach has opened his campaign for re-election, and several republicans plan to seek his nomination.) With the arrival from Washington, D. C., of Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach at San Antonio, along with his conferences and promise to expose the Creager regime in Texas; and with "Rotten Boos" Creager and his "illy-white" consents and political allies, composed chiefly of postmasters and other federal officers, staging an informal convention at Fort Worth and literally reading our lone republican congressman out of the reputed "Rotten Boos" Creager, the torney of Galveston, sending out a clairion call to arms to the "colored brethren" of the party, it appears as if things will warm up are long among the republicans and professed republicans in the Lone Star commonwealth. The party forced, by state statute, to hold a primary election in Texas this year, an excellent opportunity is afforded those opposed to the Creager-Note-Lee dynasty to place a ticket in the field and cast their votes for the nomination of men who believe and are true to the fundamental principles of genuine republicanism and unadulterated democracy (rule of the process). The colored voters of Texas have been complaining and protesting because the MacCreager-Creager regime has denied them their inherent and inalienable right to participate in the affairs of the Texas republican party (so-called) for the last eight years; yet, the party has not been able to franchise colored citizens who wield a powerful influence, with their ballots against the Creager nominees, thereby sealing their political doom and consigning them to political perdition. But this task can not be accomplished unless the forces appearing the Creager-Note "gang" are properly organized and directed, and the July primary in opposition to the "illy-white" candidates. With such organized opposition and the polling of a large vote against the candidates selected by the house of Creager & Co., the voters have the power within their grasp to rid Texas of this politics blight and to affect the restoration of the party to the people. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and the large vote cast for Butte, the republican-klan gubernatorial candidate in 1924, has made it obligatory and mandatory upon the republican bosses of the state of New Mexico in the quarterday of July 24, 1925, at which time it qualified voters of republican faith and persuasion, and march to the polling places and vote a free and untrammelled ballot for their own candidates. Course, if those opposed to Creager and his "illy-white" regime do not place a ticket in the field to contest the nomination of the electorate, it is not possible to make the election to power the Creager forces will simply be more deeply entrenched in power and will continue to trample the rights of the partisan electors under their unholy and sacreligious feet. The Informer would like to see some stubborn, stiff and determined opposition developed within this state against the Creager forces. The March has also been a situation to be renominated in the July primary, and to this end this paper suggests a conference, to be held the early part of June, in San Antonio, Dallas or Fort Worth, for this specific purpose. Since the Creager faction has laid down the gauge of battle in the 14th Congressional District, raising a huge sum of money to deposit in the Wurich State in the addition to the renomination by the republicans of his district (which has thrice sent him to the United States congress as the only republican member of the house from Texas, and one of the few from the South), it might be a good political stroke to stage this conference in San Antonio. Unless such a movement is launched and that presently, very little is taken into account towards ridding Texas of this partisan Moreover, the precinct, county, congressional and state officers who will be nominated and elected this year, will serve during 1928 when delegates are to be selected and elected to the republican national convention, where the president and vice president will be nominated and the party platform promulgated. The president will be nominated and the party platform promulgated. We have test interest in the republican party since it has been converted into an Association of Federal Officeholders under the Creager-Noite imprintment, will manifest a little concern and organize their The Houston Informer to force to defeat the Greater candidates in the July primary, they will render both themselves, their party, state and society a signal service. They about a statewide conference of all persons opposed to the Greater-Nolte regime? What about Congressman Wurzbach as the leader for this momentous movement? When and where shall the meeting be held? PUBLIC MANNERS AND DRESS AMONG OUR PEOPLE. From time to time we are made to feel ashamed of our race, when we behold how so many of our people appear on the streets, in other public places and on common carriers, dressed in a manner that reflects discredit not only upon the individual, but upon the entire race. There is a peculiar method of reasoning in this country, and especially in this section, that appraisals and judges the entire community, and that people form their opinions concerning the Negro by what they read about the criminal and vicious element within our racial group, and very few of them are charitable enough to make any difference in their lives, unless they are thousands upon thousands, not in the camp of Israel, but in the camp of colored America who have "never bowed on their knees to Baii, nor "gone off after strange gods," figuratively speaking. No other race in our heterogeneous population is thus rated and judged, and no one is willing to endure the ramifications work an untold hardship upon the whole black race, and subject the race to many criticisms and charges that are without foundation or any basis in fact. Too many of our women appear on the streets and in public places, many of them, waiting house slippers and house aprons or dresses; some with no stockings and ragged shoes; some with their hair uncombed and their bodies exuding an odor not so fragrant; some loud, boisterous and giddy. So many of our women are not employed by seeing back and forth from their work their workclothes, either as they walk the streets or ride the street cars. Work clothes are not street clothes, neither are house slippers street shoes, and our people certainly need to be taught this lesson; for any number of them can daily be seen on the streets thus Any intelligent, self-respecting person should always be careful how he or she appears in public; for a slovenly, untidy and slovely person is not only a racial disgrace, but an abomination in general. Our ministers should preach more a gospel of how to live to our people and less about how to die and "shout all over God's heaven;" for heaven will be very unpleasant and unfortunate to the person (if perchance he or she should be fortunate enough to be a priest, a minister, a deacon and deport himself or herself upon this terrestrial sphere). Too many of our people are being literally and figuratively swallowed up and engulfed because they seldom get any helpful information concerning matters that vitally and directly concern them. We are being constantly fed up all the time on things of the "here-safet." While it is an admitted fact that this is a free country, and that men can wear shoes or go barefoot, the fact remains that civilization and society have decreed certain customs, usages and customs that are not only important but also race that refuses to accept and abide by these customs and modes of living and public conduct, is either densely ignorant or inherently backward, or both. Since we, racially speaking, are so prone to imitate other races in our daily lives, we should not emulate them in their virtues, and discard some of these practices and customs, which seem small and insignificant, and appear on the streets and in public places properly dressed. All employees should provide facilities for their employees so that they can change clothes and clean up every day before their place of employment, particularly where dirty, greasy and perspiration-producing work is done by the employee; for nobody who has the least bit of pride, regardless of race, wants to sit on a seat or in close proximity to any person wearing dirty clothing. The employee should do the order so characteristic of the employee's place of employment. Some of our folks will get out of muddy ditches, board a street car with their filthy and nasty clothes on, and then take a seat beside some person wearing clean clothes, even to a woman all the time. They will be in the sun, and with the hot days of the summer coming on, and the season of the year virtually at hand when conventionality, as it regards dress, is often thrown to the four winds. The Informer wishes to urge our people (those guilty of appearing as mentioned herebefore) to exercise a little more care, thought and attention in this respect, by appearing on the streets and in public places such a manner as to bring reproach and disgrace upon themselves and their race. CLEAN UP FOR SUMMER MONTHS AND VISITORS. The colored citizens of Houston, the vast majority of who get very little civic consideration from the municipal authority, will be called home, or entertain three great gatherings during the summer: The Lone Star State Medical Center and Phi muceanical Association, the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, in annual conclave, and the grand lodge of the Grand Order of O Fellows and Household of Ruths. Before these meetings are held here, our people should close up and beautify their premises, whether they plan to have a visitor in their homes or not; for the health of the entire community. The colored citizens of Houston, the vast majority of whom get very little civic consideration from the municipal authorities, will be called to entertain three great gatherings during the summer months: The Lone Star State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, in annual conclave, and the grand lodge of the Grand United Odd Fellows and Household of Ruths. Before these meetings are held here, our people should clean up and beautify their premises, whether they plan to have any visitors in their homes or not; for the health of the entire community, they should visit our city gates, depends upon the health of the humblest cabin. So many of our people, who live in rent houses, will never clean up or beautify said premises, always arguing that the place does not belong to them and that they are not going to stay on same long; yet many of them will live in said rent houses for 10 and more years unhealthy and often unbearable and intolerable conditions. If a man makes his abode in a tent or if his domicile is a logcabin, he should strive to make his surroundings healthy, sanitary and inviting. We suggest that the colored citizens of Houston get everything in readiness for the visitors that these three meetings will bring to our city, to say nothing of other visitors who will drop into town during the summer season. If there is any time when we should put our best foot forward, it is when our city is hostess to some gathering of distinguished men and women, to see the colored delegates and visitors, practically all of our visitors must be sheltered, fed and entertained in our several homes, which QUESTIONS—ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY Passing Parade BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author.
