Y.—Among the graduates of our group from Columbia University, New York City, upon whom the degree of master of arts was conferred at the commencement exercises on June 1, 1926, none deserves greater praise than Miss Miranda Meaddough of Little Rock, Arkansas, who received her master of arts degree at the age of twenty-one. Miss Meaddough was considerably the youngest in her class which was one of the largest in the history of the university. There were only two others of her race group who also received the master of arts degree. Miss Meaddough's undergraduate work was done at Flask, from which school she received her bachelor's degree, on August 21, 1925. Both at Flask and at Columbia she ranked high in scholarship. Her preparatory work was done in her home city at Philander Smith College, where she was an honor student. She later attended George R. Smith College at Sedalia, Missouri, from which school she won a scholarship and received a certificate from the musical department. From this school she went to Flask where she remained through the completion of her college course. At Flask she was a favorite of both students and faculty and won honorable mention in music. Miss Meaddough left Flask in February, 1925, during the unpleasantness, but was fortunate enough to return in June and complete her course during the summer session. Mia Messdaugh intends to follow teaching as a profession. She is the founder of Little Rock, a dough of Little Rock, Arkansas.

THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR Whose 117th birthday anniversary was February 12. The sixteenth president of the United States. Born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 12, 1809. He liberated 4,000,000 Negro slaves. He was a Godly man and was elected president twice as a candidate of the Republican party. THE PROCLAMATION OF EMANCIPATION Whereas, on the 22nd day of September, A. D. 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing among other things the following, to-wit: That on the tetr day of January, A. D. 1863, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall then henceforward, be freed from the government of the United States, including the military and naval authority, thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, or may make for their actual freedom, may make for their actual freedom. That the Executive will on the first day of January aforesaid by proclamation, designate the states and parts of states, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any state or the people thereof shall on that day be in good faith represented in the congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at Elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such state shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence—that such state—and the people thereof are not then in rebellion against the United States. Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do on this 1st day of January, purpose so to do publicly proclaim for the full period of one hundred days from the day first above mentioned order and designate as the states and parts of states wherein the people thereof respectively are this day in rebellion against the United States, the follow test recently conducted here by the Houston Chronicle, daily newspaper.

The誓言 should not be primarily upon the sinning and patient brothers, but upon the magnanimous giving love. I. Josephus's Elevation to the Premiership of Egypt (41.14-44). II. Josephus's Elevation to the Premiership of prison from prison to the position of prime minister were: Josephus of Pharaoh's butter and baker (ch. 40). These were two very important officers in Pharaoh's court. Their business was that of the ruler and of his household. It was most important not only that the monarch should be protected against poisoning. These officers had disturbed dreams. He interpreted 2. Pharah's dream (41:1-38). For two full years Joseph returned in the fall, and the full year of corn bread, Pharah's dream of the fat kine and the lean one and the full ear of corn bread, the great opportunity. The failure of the wine men of Egypt to interpret this dream caused the chief buffer to re-emerge whereupon Pharah brought Joseph out of the prison. He made known to Pharah that it meant seven years of the produce of the land to be stored up for the famine, and suggested that a part of the produce of the land be stored up might be food for the people in the famine period. The plan appealed to Pharah as feasible. Therefore he vowed to vest him with authority to execute it. ii. Joseph's Harah Treatment of His Brothers (41:2-4): 41:7. Driven by sore need his brother came to Egregi for food. To test them, Joseph. Accused them of being spies (42:9-17). He cast them into prison and deceived their youngest brother be brought as a boot of the truthfulness of their word. He kept Siemon as a hostage. He feared he God he sent the rest of their families with provisions for their families. 3. Benjamin peril (42:12, 12). By a driver device Joseph's cup was placed in the water. An occasion for bringing them back on the charge of theft. Convicted of their sinn Jasun pleaded for the release (11), Judah's Plea (41:8-13). 4. For turning away of Joseph's the effect upon Jacob, their father, if not permitted to accompany them. 5. That he himself might be kept in slavery until Benjamin (v. 38). That he himself Himself to His Brother (41:5-13). 1. He declares his identity (v. 1. 3). This act on the part of Joseph troubles them glad. He will not only afford a beautiful example of forgiving love, but most beautiful illustrates their dealing with His brethren, the Jews. 2. He bids his brethren come near (v. 2). When he revealed himself to his brethren, the remembrance of their sins placed them through. Joseph's question shows that his desire was to put their thoughts far away from their crime. He invited them to come near him. Joseph was overruled their crime for their salivation. Joseph sends his brethren away with good news (v. 9. 15). As soon as Joseph's brethren knew him and were recalled to him, they were sent with the glad tittles to come to know Jesus Christ as their Messiah. He will send them away to the good news of His saving grace.

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 H. P.

DR. JONES EXPRESSSES GRATITUDE TO ALL Dr. A. E.

SMITH. HOUSTON LAWYER. DIES IN NEW YORK The sad intelligence has been received from New York City announcement the death of Hon. Wilford H. Smith, former Houston lawyer with offices at 4195 Milam, Mr. Smith was the first lawyer to begin his health begin to fall, to be with his family, where the end came. 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. In the country reversed the decision of the lower courts, holding a trial under such circumstances. INFORMOGRAMS We spent last week on "Treasure Laws" sometimes referred to as "assassination laws," convinced that the old suburban town to the city of Houston is well suited to the city, and all we took with us and would walk home had we not "stood in" with the Interurban Company. Our people are not improving fast in their manner of investigating business, but we have our investigations after we have been flinched out of our hard earned income. After the horse has been stolen or to be more modern—pardocking the horse there is no reason why we should not do business on business principles, and have sentiment to sway. By "blijn," our affair of the heart. By "jlijn," our affair of the heart. Just as sure as "pigs is pigs." On the heels of the declaration of the Supreme Court claiming a lack of jurisdiction in the Washington, D.C., segregation cases comes a ruling of Judge Leland W. Carr of Lansing, Mich., visiting in Wayne Circuit Court, declaring that the Negro citizens of Michigan have the right to own property in a certain subdivision of Detroit, known as the Lakewood Boulevard, but denying them the right to occupy said premises. Now, there you are again, brother, you may, but you can't enjoy it. You may recall that Moses was allowed to view the promised land but was not permitted to put his pedal extremities on the same. Say! You men with offices and businesses which employ girls; our Y.W.C. A. has several girls on their waiting list, who are home from school for the summer, and want work to assist them in returning to school. Can't you make room for one or more of these girls? Don't expect other people to carry all our burdens. Ring the Y.W.C. A. today. Walter Morrissette, a colored utility man for the Wiebold Construction Company, proved the truth of the old adage "There's always room at the top" last week in Chicago, when he climbed the mowing 100-foot flag pole, above a 20-storey building placed a 90-pound grass ball on the end of the flag pole. He found himself with plenty elbow room up there, and not one of his white co-labors quit his job because Morrissette was permitted to perform this hazardous task. For the first time in history, Howard University has a Negro president, Bishop John Andrew Gregg of the school of the diocesan and the Church of the diocesan of South Africa, having been elected to that prominent position Tuesday of last week. His salary will be $10,000 and a home. Will the senator from South Carolina please be seated! Clarence Darrow, the famous Chicago attorney in his recent address at Fisk University, told the students of that institution that education and property will solve the race problem, and advised them to get jobs where they wouldn't have to take the job. Shall you make or take these jobs, Mr. Darrow? Mrs. Alice W. McNeil, Washington, D.C., a highly cultured lady of our group, was elected a member of the Washington school hard. That's not so bad for a city with separate baths if beaches and a segregated residential law—eh? Editor John W. Rice, of the Dallas Express, is almost willing to admit after spending a week in Houston's seashore suburb, Galveston, that there isn't so much to that slogan, "Dallas has it." Well, Brother John, here's hoping that "Big London" will wake up soon—stranger things have happened. “It's an ill wind that blows nobody good” was demonstrated very forcibly in the late city farm incident when evidence was presented which shows that prisoners have been brutally treated at the hands of the guards on numerous occasions, but little attention was paid to all complaints until one prisoner, a white man, is alleged to have died from the effects of "bull" whip beating, administered by a guard. If this death results in the abolition of beating of human beings in a civilized community, then this unfortunate white man will not have died for nought. Our hat is off to the citizens of our seashore suburb, Galveston, for the manner in which they entertained the grand lodges of K. of P.'s and Court of Calanthe last week. One would have thought they were really in the city of Houston, proper. RISING YOUNG ORATOR John W.

(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. A large caravan of trucks arrives at the time that needed to be loaded. Some are filled with food, and the time was too long for manning with the impatient pickers, who instantly began to hurry off the trucks. Clear Lake was transformed into a prison where the inmates spent minutes after the arrival of the lumber. Mrs. H. E. McCoy, telling little Homer that the water, which was slightly above his ankle, was entirely for him, had to wait. Alvin Wipkins demonstrating his diving ability with a perfect belly-bust. Leland Ewing rented a boat and at the end of one hour's rowing was barely over two feet from where he started. Helen Turner went fishing and caught over a dozen crabs. She was able to handle the mates and decided to go in swimming. A number of ball players for Antich and Trinity warming up (the benches). Rutherford and Samuel Countee, self-educated life guards, assisting the girls in the lake, which is just above their waist. M. J. Will Jones, city school teacher, attempting to give your truly some ice water, which he badly needs. Antich defended Trinity and a good time was had by all. Porter E.
