PICKENS DELIVERS KEYNOTE SPEECH HOME EDITION THE MIRROR By C. F. RcCHARDSON. **PAIRIE VIEWS PRINCIPAL** In the election of Prof. W. R. Banks, president of Texas College, Tyler, Texas, as principal of Prairie College, the board of directors of the state school has selected an able educator, administrator, disciplinarian, scholar and schoolman, and withal a teacher. Under Prof. Bank's brief administration Texas College has grown from a small, non-dominican school to a college of a major classification, and today its students work compare with older and richer Negro schools in the state; being this recognized and rated by the Truly a man of such capabilities, the school should be placed in any area where he is going to be hambared and causes for constant and gratious-embassment and humiliation are removed and kept removed, we have a new, well-educated, eminent Negro educator butchered and slaughtered as the make-shift college for Negroes. G. O. P. COUNTY CHAIRMAN. In response to the insistent demands of republican electors of this city and county, the conductor of this department has filed with the republican county chairman for a place on the republican ballot in the July primaries as a candidate for county chairman or chairman of the republican executive committee of Harris County—"same thing in Dutch." Since the republicans do not relish a primary, where all voters and aspirants for office will have an equal break and fair show, it will not surprise us to see the Creager carpet-baggers and reformed and deformed democrats, headed by one Robert B. Morris, self-styled county chairman, resorting to some subterfuge in an effort to defeat the will of the republican electors of this county and city. In announcing for this position, which pays no salary but exacts both time and money from the holder of same, this writer is actuated by an unselfish motive and seeks the office not for selfish reasons, but to restore the party to the people, to put an end to secret and star-chamber sessions, to make hand-picked delegations ancient history and to demolish the federal patronage bureau, which has been and is being maintained for a people instead of ALL THE PEOPLE. The republican party is THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE and not a party of a people, and any man who seeks to establish class government within the republican ranks and councils is unture to republican faith.

For it was on this occasion that the new $80,000 three-story stucco building known as Houston Negro Hospital, was formally turned over to the Negroes of Hou- sla. In the presentation, the band and vicinity with flags, banding and playing the race singing, people made all the more glorious by a glorious gift from a gorgeous white whirlthiopist. In the presentation, speech, a mastery and eloquent epic, George E. Paddy, local white attorney and Senator B. M. Bayfield in 1922, informed his auditors that the gift was from J. S. Cullinan, the local millionaire oil man, in honor of his son, Lieutenant John Halm Cullinan, an officer in the American excursionist On the bronze tablet on the front of the hospital appears the following inscription: "This building erected A.

The structure, which is fire-proof, is three stories high, is of stucco and tile construction, and occupies a commanding position on two city blocks at Elgin Avenue and Paige Street. Third Ward. The city donated the building to the American Negro, its institution, according to an agreement entered into by the donor and municipal government.

He also provided his provisions for his family while he is alive and then passes away and leaves his family upon the mercies of a cold and cruel world, he is responsible for what his wife or children do, and he is the only woman to be contended the minister.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1926 HOUSTON'S NEW $80,000 NEGRO HOSPITAL. Houston is fortunate to have numbered among its enterprises and progressive citizenry a philanthropist mfubed with a humanitarian spirit to help his fortunate brothers in a substantial and concrete way, and to make possible, through a generous gift, an institution where these fortunate people can learn and practice the lesson and doctrine of self-heLP, self-improvability and self-reliability. Such was the motive that prompted J. S. Cullinan, local millerian oil man, in donating practically $80,000 for the construction of the first unit of a Negro hospital and health center, located at Elgin Avenue and Palge Street, in what is known as "deep Third Ward." The hospital, given in memory of one of the donor's sons, Lieutenant John Halm Cullinan, will have an entire Negro personnel, with a white advisory board; and it is the aim and purpose of the donor that the race be given a real opportunity to prove its ability to man and operate this much-needed institution. With a population in excess of 50,000 colored citizens, hospital facilities for these people have been sadly and weetly lacking in this community; with the result that many of our people have died premature deaths because they could not get hospital accommodations. Some years ago a small group of Houston colored surgeons and physicians launched a hospital movement here, and named their institution Union Hospital, since it was an organized effort (union or unity) that brought forth the strictly racial elemeosary institution. For some time they rented quarters in what was formerly the "red light" or restricted district, and when a local minister erected a building for a hospital and found that he could not locate men and women to man and run it, a movement was launched by these doctors and the colored citizens of Houston to acquire the latter property and operate it as the Union Hospital. After Professor I. M. Terrell relinquished the presidency of Houston College, local Baptist institution of learning, he was tendered the superintendency of the Union Hospital, his selection for this post being largely due to his ability to raise money, for the hospital was in dire straits for financial assistance. Having formed a connection or point of contact with some of the leading white citizens, Prof. Terrell are long addressed himself to the task of landing some substantial aid for Union Hospital, and in this capacity he wrought quite well. Not being satisfied with contributions here and there for the hospital as it existed and vainly endeavored to function, the superintendent conceived the idea that there was sufficient philanthropy in Houston for some rich citizen to donate the race such an institution, and he began to work with might and main for that objective, and thus on last Saturday, June 19—the race's natal day in Houston and Texas—the dedicatory exercises of the Houston Negro Hospital were held and the donor formally tendered the $30,000 building, modern in every detail, to the Negro race. The race, community and society owe Mr. Cullinan a debt of gratitude that will be difficult to repay; for not only has he helped the Negro race, per se, in the erection of this hospital, but he has also helped and blessed the city and society—for no race in safe as long as sickness plays havoc with another race in the same community; for disease, epidemics and pestilence are no respecters of races. In this connection, The Informer wishes to thank both the donor and city fathers, the former for donating the building and the latter for purchasing the site and agreeing to equip and maintain this new Negro hospital. The Negro race of this community, and particularly the professional men and women who will be in charge of the institution, will be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the world that the black man can work together harmoniously and concert- The Houston Informer edly in a movement of this kind; for if we begin to fuss, bicker and strive for points of vantage, emoluments and preferment and thereby lose sight of the real purpose of the institution and the motive that prompted the donor to give same to the race, we stand in danger of losing much of the ground we have gained here and in that land the last siege does. Neither politics, long residence, denominationalism nor fraternalism should or must enter into this new institution, but men and women should and must be selected for certain positions because of their peculiar fitness, ability, efficiency and proficiency. With the erection, equipping and operating of the Houston Negro Hospital, this city has the unique distinction of being in a place by itself in this respect, and here's hoping that other cities will emulate the splendid and noteworthy example set by "Heavenly Heuston." REPUBLICAN RIOT AT BEXAR COUNTY MEET. According to the daily newspapers of Tuesday, the republicans of Bexar County, of which San Antonio is the county seat and "capital," staged a near-riot at the county meeting of party committee and committee-women held in the Alamo City court house Monday. The news story stated that when the forces, led by Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, bested and ousted the Creager forces in a vote for chairman, the Creager contingent resorted to violence and one Creager devotee was in the act of shooting Texas' lone republican congressman, when some one knocked the revolver out of the Creagerite's hand. This conduct or misconduct on the part of the Creager followers, supporters and devotees is not the least bit surprising to those who know the calibre of the men who are opposing and fighting Congressman Wurzbach and the popular will of republican electors, not only in the 14th congressional district, but throughout Texas. Right here in Houston and Harris County a study effort is now being made by the Creager forces to deny a place on the primary ballot, Saturday, July 24, 1926, to candidates who are not in harmony and sympathy with "Rotten Boss" Creager and his political consorts. However, Harris County has some fine, fair and able judges and the question of the eligibility of these candidates will be put squarely up to the court for equity and adjudication, if "Kaiser" Morris and his gang persist in their high-handed and autocratic policy in this county. The Creager forces are panic-striken already, and yet only in isolated instances are the anti-Creager forces placing any candidates in the field for the July primaries. Since the Creager regime has held undisputed and unchallenged political sway among Texas republicans for the last six years or more, they, naturally inline to the notion and idea that they own the party in this state, "lock, stock and barrel"; and that any man or woman, not hitherto recognized as their partisan chattel or mannikin, has neither the right nor prerogative to announce for office or dare oppose a Creager candidate for any office within the gift of the republican electorate in this state, whether same be state, congressional, district or county office. When men lose their heads and resort to violence and firearms to attack the president, the successful leader in a partisan fight for control of either a county, district, congressional or state organization, the sooner such men are deposed and consigned to their political graves, the better off the party and society will be. Creager and most of his followers go for bullies and "bad men," it has been alleged, and it is further charged that they plan to break up all meetings in disorder, deny Wuzbach supporters a place on the ballot and then count out Wuzbach candidates where the court compels Creager & Co. to give said candidates a place on the official ticket. Even before the July primaries, the Creager henchmen, tools and sycophants are busily engaged in their old tricks of trying to vote in the affairs of their party, and tisan orphans and outcasts. Our race not only constitutes the balance of power among local self-styled republicans, but the Negroes are the only genuine, true and tried republicans, in the main, in the county; for the present they are the only ones who are not baggers or reformed democrats hoping to land a federal plum. These carpet-baggers and reformed democrats are republicans for personal reasons and political preferment, while the Negroes are republicans because of principles, tenets, dogmas and traditions. All has been issued for all republicans, and particularly Negro republicans of Houston and Harris County, to meet in the auditorium of the American Mutual Benefit Association, 7141 Prairie Avenue, Monday night, June 28, 8:30 o'clock; at which time definite action will be taken regarding the part the colored voters will play in the republican July primaries. If we are interested in our political emancipation and want to be involved in a coalition of congressional representatives that Negroes are enjoying in other Southern states and communities, the Monday night conference should be largely attended. in employing mob-violence and anarchy in a vain endeavor to stampede the voters and break up all meetings where their lords and bosses are allowed to oust from office and thus lose their power in the political pleasure. The San Antonio bar is a barometer, then Wurzbach will be renamed at the July primaries, for he and his lieutenants went into a Creager hand-picked and vest-pocket county organization, and succeeded in ousting the Creager chairman by a majority vote. This is what you call "bearing the lion in his own den." The republicans of Harris County, especially those who have been denied a voice in party affairs since the "illy-white" regime gained control of the organization in this county and state, have been able to organize the party to the people; but to get in a position where this may be accomplished, these citizens will have to organize at once and put up some funds for both a legal and political fight. With a colored population above the 50,000 mark, it is a serious reflection upon our race that we have no more representation in the affairs and councils of the so-called republican party in this county. The only way to have a voice in the wedge at the July primaries, we shall be both political and par- HOUSTON MUSICAL GENIUS APPEARS THE WOMEN'S HOLIDAYS one of the stars most eminent in the world and the most esteemed teachers and musical critics proounce this Houston art as the outstanding musical prodigy of her genius.

We are watching closely for a row of elephants soon and the port communication over the acceptance of the new fire boat, which is a "white elephant." It certainly must be great to have something to raise a row over, occasionally, besides the elephant. Senator Borah of Idaho, broke last week and one, if to judge from his remarks made in a speech Washington, D. C. he must be flirting with the nomination for the position of governor to catch mimosa. The senator made the observation that America freed her slaves too soon, and we are not ready to accept that too soon. We have been of the opinion that a country stugging for freedom slaves was introduced into her territory, should never have permitted its introduction. We fear that America should long to, amenable to, manipulate her slaves. A woman killed and her husband fatally injured last week at Port-au-Prince and an officer patrol over civilians. We are pneuminating that they were chickens of the feather tribe. We can tell the world that they were not human, and have got to pile something awful to even get in hiding distance of them. We are not beingationen by the unfeathered chickens. Say, brother, speaking of casualties, what has become of the quick trigger fingered, straight-shooting big "blood of Texas"? It's getting to be almost as safe for husbands in the "Heavenly Houston." Despite the "iog'noble" efforts of Judge T. Hirrelle and his alleged aloe, Perry Hewitt to have the senate reconsider the decision, Judge T. Hirrelle, the judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, the senate by a vote of 100 to 5, has its action and thus Mr. Cobb becomes the successor of the late Judge Robert T. Hirrelle, and Senator Pat gets one more vote. We would have been willing to give a month's salary to have had a batch of staff, that we see daily blocking traffic in front of our downtown business district, during our last visit there.
