When laws were being agitated and introduced in the several legislatures of the Southern states seeking to disfranchise the Negro and to deny him a right to a voice in governmental affairs through the medium of the ballast, proponents of the measures and foes of the colored race contended that—since the Negro could be influenced to vote through the instrumentality of "slush funds," and since colored voters could be herded into polling places by designing politicians like cattle—it was for the best interests of the colored race and decent government that these people, free American citizens, be hampered in their political activities and be allowed to vote in the court would be set up to save the white race from "Negro domination." While this argument was merely a subterfuge or smoke screen, it had the desired effect, and practically every Southern legislature passed legislation having for its expressed object safeguarding the purity of the ballot system and keeping out of office either Negro candidates or the candidates who would seek the support of the state legislature. However, the present senatorial investigation into conditions obtaining in Pennsylvania during the recent republican primary for nomination of a United States senator, where U. S. Senator Pepper, state Senator Vare and Governor Pinchot were the candidates, is about to disclose that money can buy the votes of electors members of the colored race; and it begins to appear as if the Republican party of uninformed savvy publicity due to the huge sums of money in behalf of these three senatorial aspirants. In the senatorial election held in Texas during 1922, money was spent rather freely by the forces supporting the successful candidate, according to sworn testimony of several leading white Texans, to vote for the constitutional political pot was employed to influence or "buy" a single colored vote. If the statement of those Texans who appeared before the semiauthor investigating committee were true and correct, then numerous Texans profited from the 1822 "slush fund" in this state, and the recipients of these "political funds" were not members of the state government. Here we have two instances of huge sums being spent in the banner republican and democratic states of the country in an effort to land a senatorial berth, with the bulk of the "bones" being spent with and gobbled up by the "faithful" of the Nordic race. The Informer merely mentions these incidents in order that the record might be kept straight, and to inform the reading public that there are some other races who can be influenced and "bought" through the medium of "slush funds." FALLING DOWN ON COMMUNITY CHEST PAYMENTS According to information received from Police Chief T. C. Goodson, who was commander of the colored division in the 1925-26 Community Chest drive, several colored subscribers are falling down on paying their pledges; and their failure to pay their budget claims isAMPAMPing the chest directors in meeting the many budget claims. It seems that quite a number of colored subscribers to the Houston Community Chest are under the impression that some person, colored or white, would be delegated to personally collect these pledges, and thus many of them have paid very little attention to the noticees mailed them from Chest headquarters. The police officers in the collectors and the persons who solicited pledges and subscription to the fair drive finished their work when the campaign ended; and it is expected that every colored citizen or organization that made a pledge to this cause during the drive, will either send their check to the Chest headquarters, Junior City Auditorium, corner Milam and Capitol, or carry the money in person to the Chest office on the second day of the campaign. Our race made an excellent showing in subscribing to the Chest in the autumn campaign, and it would reflect much discredit upon our racial group in this community to fall down on our payments at this stage of the game. In this connection, The Informer suggests that our pastors emphasize aid stress, from their pulpits, the importance of our pledges paying their Community Chest pledges; for the ability tocriber to the police department upon upon upon to the fund fulfillir her her obligation. The Houston Informer "YETH THUR," THE WORM TURNS—OCCASIONALLY! One of the guards of the city farm, where city prisoners are committed to work out their fines when unable to pay same in corporation court, has been accused of virtually beating a white prisoner to death, and the incident has created quite a sensation in this city, with two of the metropolitan daily newspapers carrying front-page editorials denouncing the act, demanding a thorough investigation of conditions at the farm and insisting upon the conviction of the guard for murder, if his guilt is firmly established. Wounds and bruises on the dead man's body, which had been called to the scene to conduct an inquest, along with the testimony of several prisoners who saw the beating, form one of the blackest chapters in the history of Houston's police department. dressed and fresh clothes placed on his body before the coroner. However, this brutality is no surprise to The Informer and other investigators, and he has admitted from Plainfield that exposed and denounced the maltreatment of some colored citizen or prisoner by police officers, its editor was accused of being an "agitator" and no efforts were made to rectify and remedy these deplorable conditions until Chief Goodson became titular head of the Houston police department. However, in all fairness and frankness to our superintendent of police, the city prison farm was not under his supervision nor was it under the supervision of the conditions existing at this institution that contributed to the brutal and barbaric murder of this white prisoner. It must also be said to the chief's credit that since his elevation to the superintendency of the local police department, violence and brutality have been very conspicuous by their absence at the police station; and colored citizens, for the first time in the United States, on business or as a businessman, with some degree of safety and an added assurance that they will not be attacked and assaulted for not lifting their hats from their heads when entering the door, or just because they are unfortunate enough to be black. It hardly seems possible that in an enlightened civilization such as ours, a community whose citizens stand for the highest and best along all lines, such a horrible and unspeakable crime could be persecuted, and that by a prison guard upon a defenseless, helpless and friendless prisoner. The fact that the dead man is a member of the white race does not relieve the situation, but rather aggravates it; for if a prison guard is not a member of the community, the officer, what chance would a colored prisoner have under such a ruthless and hard-boiled officer? This murder is a dark blot upon the pages of Houston's record book, and the authorities should leave no stone unmoved to punish the person responsible for the prisoner's death, and immediate punishment. We prevent a recurrence of such a brutal crime and Hunnish kultu CARTER LEADER IN Y.M.C.A. DRIVE FOR MEMBERS NEGRO EDITOR SEEKS REPUBLICAN POSITION Houston Post Dispatch: C. F.

He was one of the best known and most harbors in Texas, and enjoyed a very lucrative practice here—Mr. Smith working the first clerked lawyer in Texas to carry a case to the United States supreme court and win a victory, in the celebrated case of the death of a woman, as where the race man was convicted for murder in Galveston County and no Navro served on either the grand jury or the court.

By William Pickens. (For The Associated Negro Press) Of course, we disagree with the honorable court in its segregation decision: action by the court of a state is in all commonsense action by the state—and the law ought to be interpreted against commonsense action. The segregation to Negroes is a matter for the individuals concerned, so long as the agreement is made and kept by the individuals concerned. But when this agreement becomes the state becomes a party to the matter, and indoles the legality of the agreement,—and the matter is doubly serious when the court encounters two private parties. AGAINST a third party, who was not even allowed to participate, is agreement—and more especially when this private agreement is of a kind that has been forbidden by the According to this side-stopping decision, controlling people of any city, county, or state could agree not to sell food and clothes to Negroes (or to law them) only would the court offer the minority no remedy, but one of the concessions would be selling to the hated minority, the court would go into court and compel him to cease selling. Courts could offer would be to sit and observe the horror, for "lack of justice." That is a peculiar situation. Evelyn Annamack, an amending in the very constitution of this country, According to press reports, the court has said that the thing is right, but the court only admits its authority. It seems that there is plenty of help for those who want to enforce anticlerical agreements, but none for the leftists. Well, the Nerg will have to get by busy at the polls and see the various candidates. Certainly the state courts have plenty of jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the Jimmy Carter administration has been given a new weapon, and will use. But there is a possibility of killing a man in the field of parts of the nation, and of confining territory of Jim Crow caretion, disfragmentation, and the other co-ercion actions. A man living near the city may be possible to purge it out of the whole civilization. Passing Parade As Seen At Trinity's Annual Sunday School Picnic At Clear Lake.
