Houston Informer

BAPTISTS HEAR HOWARD PRESIDENT HOME EDITION THE MIRROR By C.F. RICHARDSON. COTTON PICKERS WANTED. In last week's issue of The Informer, there appeared a news story from Taylor, Texas, where the Chamber of Commerce of that city had sent out an article further adding that Williams, the article's 1928 cotton yield would surpass what was sangually expected a few weeks ago. In sending out its appeal to the Taylor Chamber of Commerce urged all localities, with surplus supply of idle labor, to send out the information from Williamson County, one of the banner cotton counties of Texas and the world. One of the reasons for the labor shortage in Williamson County this year is attributed to the cotton crop failure last year, when hundreds of families left Williamson County for children. Williamson County is a cotton crop surpassed that of Williamson County, which had one of its worst years in 1925. Many of these people found good jobs in other communities and goes, and thus very few of them have returned to Williamson County; there are many of them who are in the labor situation in said county. Farmers in Williamson County are now paying: $1.25 per 100 pounds for pickling cotton, according to the Taylor Chamber of Commerce, and transportation will be advanced to families deserted by the military officers of said county; houses and wood will be furnished free, but board can not be provided. The Informer knows nothing about the living conditions obtaining on these farms in Williamson County, nor just what type of treatment the colored cotton picklers will receive from the poor. The Informer offers a full-time salary of $150 per county; but the many idlers of the race, particularly those who are adept at picking cotton, can improve their financial status and become an asset to society, at least, during cotton picklers' efforts. The Informer issued from Taylor and Williamson County for cotton picklers. OUR "ACTING" PRINCIPALS. The public schools of Houston opened Monday morning with an increased number of the colored schools. There were also changes in the personnel of the faculties at several of the colored schools. Principal sent W. S. Franks from Dongshan School, Third Ward, to Langston School in second Ward, and treat him with respect. Douglas: B. M. Turner from Harbor, Douglas: O. S. Smith from Washington to Harper. The school board and superintendent of public education plan to abandon, in the future, the status of several elementary schools for colored children, and it seems that the staff would be in line with the contemplation. The informer can not understand why the superintendent and board will execute the functions of the office as a school principal, of a ward school—compelling him to execute the functions of the office as a school principal, of a ward school—compelling him to execute the functions of the office as a school principal, with salary paid regular teachers. The informer referred term of some ward school principal during the school session in which the vocation of a school principal is promoted or transfer, it is all right to designate the successor, for the same teacher as the acting principal, of an infinitely with such a title and pay looks funny to this paper and patrons of it. If a man is capable enough to be appointed "acting principal," the successor can infinitely for a semester or, two then when the big idea on the plan of the school district is promoted and acting "acting principal," both in title and pay, to the office of principal. Heaven knows we have too many actors in the teaching profession now and we must place a premium on and encourage their "acting their persistent policy of promoting real citizens." What we need and need real bady are real, not "acting," teachers In various lines of human endeavor, the black man has been "acting" in the face of denial the pay and title to which he has been entitled. In the case of work he has done and is still doing; but because of his color and his recognition, even seems to be destined to forever serve, more or less, in the "acting" This seems to be the situation with some of Houston's "acting" colored men, the superintendent's office to inform them of the important terminal comment in The Informer, and they will be telling the truth and food to the THE HOUSTON INFORMER BEACON LIFE PROMOTER ISSUES STATEMENT TO LOCAL STOCKHOLDERS M.

The "Negro population of Georgia is becoming more law abiding and the white population less so, is indicated by a study of the county jail of Georgia just made by the State Department of Public Welfare. The study shows that in the last four years the number of Negroes in Georgia jails has decreased nexperiently since 1990, and that makes has increased thirty per cent. "Some years ago there were on the job Negroes, now the number are almost the proportion of Negroes, since the colored population of the state constitute only about forty per cent of the total." Continuing "Miss Kairaan says: 'The police are working hard to improve conditions in the jails for white and colored prisoners alike. In about ten percent of the interested citizens have been appointed by the department to make regular visits to the prisoners have clean, healthy living conditions and a safe environment furnished by the department these committees study the best instruction, equipment and management, and measure their own laws and make reports and recommendations to the officials responsible for maintenance and management. They have been through co-operation with county officials and by the stimulation of public involvement." Baltimore, Md.—Of the 1,500 delegates who attended the 23rd annual session of the Biennal Movable Committee of Odd Pellows in this city, 300 came from the State of Louisiana. Nearly five thousand members and delegates took part in a parade through the business section of the city. Claims were made that the organization has a membership of 750,000. The delegates and visitors were welcomed to the city by Mayor Jackson, who emphasized the fight he had made for the equalization of opportunity for all citizens of Baltimore. Other addresses of welcome were delivered by representatives of various local interests and responded to by leading Odd Pellows. At the opening session, the national grand master, Edward H. Morris, Chicago, who was elected in the city 16 years ago, was presented. Every effort was made during the convention to destroy any desire to elect new national officers. There was spirited rivalry for minor offices and state leadership. Everybody seemed to be in favor of the re-election of Morris. Atlantic City, N. J., was favored as the next place of meeting.

Fort Worth, Tex.-Mordescal Johnson, president of Howard University, came to this city Friday night and delivered the address of a great man before 10,000 Baptist preachers assembled in the forty-sixth annual session of the National Baptist Convention. He spoke on the night that has come to be regarded as the highlight of the great convention and has been defended named "Booker T. Washington night." In addition to the late Sage of Tuskegee, Dr. Johnson had been preceded on this night, according to the Rev. J. W. Nabritt, who introduced him, by such celebrated Negro spokesman as Dr. Robert R. Moton, Judge William Henry Harrison, Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, and the late Dr. Credit of Philadelphia. The Howard president came to Texas charged with a message. He spoke on what ought to be the new forms of racial co-operation, and he spoke, so simple yet so hard were the requisites which he named that scores of whites which had monopolized a section of the nation's streets and their heads and crept out. But it was not because Johnson sought to paint. At no time did he offend them. His words were messages of humiliation and shame. The remedy which he proposed for the solution of the problem of the races was so simple, yet so honest, that those assembled whites could not take it. They fled from his valley of truth. The president drew a grown out of the World War, minor significant analogy between problems now affecting the world and the problem of the races in America. He claimed that at one time, before the late war, many had come to believe that already the foundations of world peace had been established. But the war had been confident that an enlightened selflessness, organized labor, and the spirit of democracy would insure independence, organized labor, and the spirit of democracy would insure independence, organized labor, and place it in the hand of the nation's chief executive and in additional provisional leaders for the supreme court.

It hled not from the out of the World War, miswhich might lead men to believe that the war was not against any such belief pointing out the spread of Fascism in all the countries of Europe and which could be against democracy, a spirit which is also discovered in America in the effort to place the nation in and place it in the hands of the nation's chief executive and in addition to Civilization Naked Before God.

"God in His wisdom," he continued, "has given us the right to live in America the most advanced and most backward of races, so that they can live in the world." He shows the nations of the world the Both Races Must Co-operate. He placed responsibility for the solution of the problem on whites and blacks alike, charging that they are more vulnerable, under God, co-operate with the Negro.

"Owe it you to yourself to accord the Negro absolute justice. You are responsible for the lives of your people," a poor worker when his boss does not consider his fundamental welfare when he is ill-health. Cites Signs of Progress. These and many other things Howard's president asserted before the nation, that the United States is plauding NGOs under the tent, who cheered him even when he castigated him for his lack of a private affair of their religion. He ended his address by pointing out the race becoming better acquainted. The nation has been baggage of social equality was disposed of in the following manner: the governor that respect for the ideals and integrity of each of its insures and the governor that intuitively dear. The governor was such as Harvard Wellington delivered in Atlanta in 1888.

The present goling season gives symptoms of being remembered as the Jonah year. Champions are being contested in any of the championship played that far has given a hang right out, and lo, before the championship has gone any great distance the king is out. He was given in Florida and out in California and swept northward and eastward. Champions after champion was beaten and a new king in country golfers have been guilty of less majesty and, what more, seen England dawning the dethroning of Jim Barres and of Abe Mitchell and the coronation of Walter Hagen and the country golfers have lost his title, stealing it right from under him, stealing it from the king. Joe Tursunen. Macdonald Smith came from Pinshurst with the north and south title under his arm. He came from Lakeville. Don't overexpose Joe Sweeter, who sailed from the United States with one title and came back Ducky Tatey, who won the north and south amateur championship, and the other amateur championship happened in Texas, California, New Mexico, and 45 other states. The count from the territories is not yet known, but the number of the revolutionists can be expected. Those who have titles still in their possession had better employ body armor, and the amateur titles in new hands, as happened in the Long Island and dozens of other amateur championships, of this sort of stuff may be expected. Wilbert Robinson, who has served as manager of the Brooklyn baseball club since 1914 and has also held the office of president for the last two years, says he will give up the managerial role at the end of the present campaign. **Sport News** "Wild Bird Mehbron is the only star golfer who wears gloves while playing."

And Not Always Then Natural man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of him till he's unhappy—Scotch Proverb. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1926 W. Sidney Pittman, the well-known architect of several buildings in Texas and char sections of the South (being been connected with Tuckkeegge Institute once and is the son-in-law of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington) was in Houston last week pushing the claims of his organization, the Brothecchool of Bigo Building Mechanics, with state headquarters in Dallas. The object of Mr. Pittman's visit was to organize local temples and to up line delegates for the first annual meeting of the supreme temple of his organization, which will be held in the spring. This organization has a charter from the state department at Austin, and, aside from the benefits to be derived while living in line of work, patronage, etc., it also pays sick benefits to its members and issues policies like insurance companies or other fraternal organizations. Mr. Pittman explained the purposes and aims of the organization at Wesley Memorial A. M. E. Church Monday night, and a large number of persons present indicated their support and endorsement of the movement, after Pastor J. H. Smith had made the request. The local pastor is suggested. The location is near and one of the leading local forces in the movement. "One of the chief aims," said Mr. Pittman, "is to awaken a racial consciousness, in our people and to provide avenues of employment for the skilled and trained artists of our country, and to harden our hard-earned money of our people is going into the coffers of other races in building projects, and we are determined to keep some of this money in our racial family. We need to pay more attention to the economic side of our country, and to pride in our race and to think more highly of ourselves. Some may call this clamish, but it is the only way to build a real race." According to the plans of Mr. Pittman, it is planned to have at least three or four local temples of his organization in Houston; he adding that Dallas has more than 300 building new jobs in this movement in the North Texas city.

P. B. WATERMAN, D.D. Dess of Day and Daywriting School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (ID), 1894, Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September 26 REVIEW-EARLY LEADER$ OF ISRAEL GOLDEN TEXT-Let us run with pa- tition unto Jesus, the author and Sinker of the Bible. PRIMARY TOPIC—Favorite Stories of the Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories of the Leaders of Israel. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC—Striking Incidents of the Quarter. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—The Main Teachings of the Quarter. It is strange that the lesson committee should have selected the title "Early Leaders of Israel" when only Moses appears. A better title would have been "Moses, the Leader of Israel." In such a case consideration should be given to Moses's life, character and teaching. Indeed, a good method of review would be to use this plan for the quarter's lessons. And other method of review would be to give a synthetic view of the book of Exodus, since all the lessons of the quarter are taken from that book. However, for the senior and adult classes the best method will be to recall the principal fact and then state the leading lesson of each Sunday's lesson of the quarter. To aid in this, the following suggestions are given: Lesson for July 4. When the time drew nigh for God to deliver His chosen people He caused them to multiply greatly. Envy and alarm incited the new king to institute measures to check Israel's increase. The attempt to carry these measures out not only displayed their futility but brought to be sheltered and nurtured in the king's palace the very one who later upset Pharaoh's throne. When Moses was born, his mother perceived that he was a child of destiny. The king's edict was that he should be the faith of his mother moved her to hide him. When no longer able to hide him he was preserved in an ark. He was the first to be Pharaoh's daughter. At the suggestion of Mifran, his mother was called as a nurse. He was educated both at the mother's knee and in the Egyptian court. **Lesson for J25.** While Moses was keeping Jubilee, God kept him in a burning bush and communicated him a delivery of his palpe. Moses failed but God patiently heard and his difficult delivery of his palpe. Moses failed **Lesson for J25.** In memory of the great deliverance of Israel from bondage, the passover of the blood was saved from the destroying angel. **Lesson for August 1.** God permitted the Israelites to get into arraised circumstances after leaving Egypt, in order to teach them the ancient and also to lay a mare for the enemy. **Lesson for August 29** Before we begin, we need to address the people lured for the flashops of Egypt. God answered their murmurings by giving them quail and mama down from God to man. Those who eat of his bread shall never die. **Lesson for August 29** Jehovah, God absolutely occupied with the judging of Israel, admired that Moses should be to the people, and the weight matters should be cared for by him and that suitable men should be appointed to judge the smaller matters, organized so as to achieve his ministers of unnecessary burdens. To love God with all the heart, soul, strength and mind is the fulfilment of the first four commandments of the Deckchurch. **Lesson for August 29** Loving our neighbor as we love ourselves in the fulfillment of the last commandment is supreme love to God and love to our fellowmen as we love ourselves in the sum total of human duty. **Lesson for August 5** God through Christ dwells in the midst of His people—just as He did in the midst of the Israel in the **Lesson for September 12.** In the lesson for September 12, all work should offer willfulness such gifts as they have. In the lesson for September 19. Disobedience to God's laws always brings catatonia, while obedience to it is always accompanied with blessing.

President M. W. Dogan, pre-miles, presided over the system of the college, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, indulged in a reminiscent retrospect of the school's development and progress, contrasting the present standards of the institution with those of ten, twenty, and thirty years ago, and pointing out the fact that the Willey spirit which was never more alive than today has been to the center for the steady growth of the school. He also paid tribute to those sons and daughters of Willey who have made such excellent records in northern and eastern colleges where they have gone for advance work, saying that the present distinguished rating and recognition which Willey sustains with a number of the big white schools are the most important of the high-quality scholarship maintained by Willeyites who have entered these institutions. Recounting some of the recent achievement of the school, Dr. Dogan referred to the establishment and successful operation last year of an extension school at San Antonio, and said plans had been perfected for the opening of the fall of familiar schools at Houston and Dallas, to begin not later than October 1. Among other features that are con- didate outstanding may be enumerated within the relationships with Wil伯福勒 and college universities, acquiring of con- ference rooms at the State Park of Texas, attendance at which promises to run around 10,000 students, support for college girls, modern in every respect, at a cost of $77,000; roarong songs; a variety of standard, lifting of tone in faculty permen- dence by addition of several massa- ters.

C., recently, Dr. Hiram Evans of Dailas, imperial wizard of the Ku klux Klan, is quoted as stating that the klan will never support Governor Al Smith of New York for democratic candidate for president of the United States, because the popular governor is a "nullifier." Going a bit further, according to newspaper reports, the klan potentate declared that "no truthful American should endorse a democratic candidate for president of the United States." Hailing from a city, state and section where the various constitutional amendments are considered as "mere scraps of paper," it is amusing to behold Wizard Evans standing out as a bold champion of the American constitution and its several amendments; it usually taking "dry" and drinking "wet," so many of our Southern solos and leaders are unduly alarmed at the ruthless manner in which the 18th or liquor prohibition amendment is treated (or mistreated) in New York and other wet states of the East and North, but these same Southerners seem to be unmindful of the potential for their own actions, the most "out-nullifying nullifier" in our great national confederacy of states; and instead of merely "nullifying" one particular constitutional amendment, the South only respects and observes these amendments that suit its traditional policies and practices. Once upon a time, it appears to the Informer, the congress of the United States, that the most important among which are or were the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments; but when vociferating about upholding the constitution and the constitutional amendments, none of the Southern proponents and advocates of strict and rigid observance of the constitutional constitution are willing to endorse the defense of these three amendments to the basic law of this republic. If one constitutional amendment can be so "nullified" and ignored as to permit one state or one section of America to abridge the rights of American citizens because of race, creed, color or previous condition of servitude, then by the same token and "nullification" of such rights, the United States can bridge a constitutional amendment seeking to prohibit the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within the confines of the United States, and all territory subject to the jurisdiction of this country. The Constitution holds brief for the political views or religious affiliations of Governor Al Smith, for the constitution bestows certain rights and prerogatives upon him and every American citizen; but between the man who preaches "nullification" of one constitutional amendment and the section which practices "nullification" of several constitutional amendments, give us the formal name—if we must choose between these two types of nullifiers. Mouth "nullification" is not nearly so destructive and of imminent to American institutions, ideals and perseverity as "mob nullification" a la Dixie; and in this latter role practically every Southern states serve, often living with each other in a hectic and demanding environment. For the benefit of Wizard Evans and others of his organization, as well as others holding similar views as expressed by him in his Washington statement, The Informer asks the indulgence of its readers while it "quotes the law," viz.: "The Constitution is unaltered in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process or any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The caption to the above constitutional amendment is "Citizenship Rights Not To Be Abridged." There are four other sections to this amendment, one empowering congress to enforce these constitutional provisions through appropriate legislation. Article XV, captioned "Equal Rights for White and Colored Citizens," reads as follows: (1) The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. (2) The Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appropriate legislation. The second section of Article XIV, if not "nullified" by the South, would wreak havoc with Southern representation in the lower house of congress. This "nullified" constitutional amendment expressly states, under caption "Apportionment of Representatives in Congress," the following: (2) Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State excluding Indians not taxed. But the Senate and House of Representatives for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male members of such State, of twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation rebellion or other crime, the basis of representa- South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper tion therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years old, in imperial wizard and thousands of his Dixie colleagues have never read nor heard about these constitutional amendments, which were on the national statute books from 50 to 55 years before the national liquor prohibition amendment was written into the basic laws of that republic. One amendment is just as much the law of the land as the other, and the man, race, state or section that practically repeals or "nullifies" one constitutional amendment should be the last one to censure and flay another for "nullifying" one unalterable or unattainable to tampering with or nullifying any of the constitutional amendments, but if their provisions are not going to be enforced and if they are to be treated and regarded as "mere scraps of paper," not only should these amendments be amended, but they should be nullified," but the constitution, itself, should be thrown into some convenient junk-pile and there contained in a fire likened, in intensity of its heat, unto the blazes that the Southern "nullifiers" so often employ when pulling off their celebrated American passions upon some bebebes and babies, be thrown on fire. If "no truthful American should endorse a man who would destroy or repeal a constitutional amendment," as per Wizard Evans' contention, then the South would be minus many public officials, and this section would hardly have a corporal's guard in the con- Of course, the klan plenipotentiary did not mean all this, despite his reported statement; he was merely trying to throw the weight of his influence and that of his organization against the Smith government. He was not a member of the Smith its heyday, sought to "nullify" not only certain fundamental and elemental principles and practices in this country, but to dispense with constituted authority and set their hooded and secret order against the government. In addition, its amendments and the bills of rights of the several states. Truly, "God makeh the wrath of men to praise Him," and Brer Evans appears to be a penitent son on the constitutional grounds. He is not guilty of "nullify" and "thought" and that his regeneration will be full and complete. Selah! COLLINS CASE DOUBLE LOSS TO STATE. Looked at from another angle, in view of his recent acquittal after a legal fight stretching over nearly five years, the case of Luther Collins, colored youth recently acquitted at Brenham, Washington County, for an alleged criminal attack upon a young woman, on the night of January 24, 1922, was a double loss to the state. In the first place, in its failure to secure a conviction the state, represented by the prosecuting attorneys and trial judge, as well as appellate court, was the loser; and then the state lost financially in the heavy expenditure of the taxpayers' money in a prejudicial trial against the accused, not the crime; for it was virtually a physical impossibility for any man, white or black, to have committed the type of criminal assault alleged by the complainant. Granted three trials and two reversals in four years and about eight months, the Collins case became a financial burden upon the state, and the prosecutors appealed brought this flashe to a successful culmination—successful as far as the accused, the colored race and all who believe in justice and fair play are concerned; but unsuccessful when looked at in the light of the state, the end being disastrous and the prosecutors acquitted. The question of color often causes Texas and other Southern states much unnecessary expense; and many innocent colored men, accused of similar criminal offenses and others of a less severe nature, without public-spirited and justice-loving people to intercede in their behalf by employing legal talent and raising a large number of innocent people, with penalty or given long sentences in some state penal institution. As stated in the Informer last week, it appears that an American citizen, held in restraint of his freedom over four years and then found innocent of any crime whatever, should be reimbursed for the crime. The Informer should also some consideration should be accorded any malt thus falsely imprisoned and almost sued into eternity by the state, chiefly because of his color, rather than his crime. With the filmay and insufficient evidence at the original trial, Collins had not been a Negro, he would have been turned looes; he would have been convicted, he had not been identified with the black, scape-goat race! Practically all the trials were nothing more or less than fares—a farcical and velled attempt on the part of the prosecution to build up a case where none existed, and to make "some 'nigger pay' for an offense charged to the colored race. The Informer would have been liable, together with expert testimony from certain officers and authorities—even the description of the assailant—were all off color, and had all the earmarks of a "trumped up" case, pure and simple; yet the original trial judge contended, in his charge to the jury, for the death penalty for the accused colored youth and such verdict was reimbursed from certain officers and authorities—even the description of our intention to enter into any lengthy discussion of this celebrated case, but the Informer merely wishes to cite attention to the large sum of money extracted from the tax payers by the state in the unsuccessful prosecution of this case, and to again remind our people that victory can be achieved along other lines. The Informer would be given end, adopting as our slogan, "Each for all and all for each." When racial prejudice becomes less manifest and pronounced in Texas and the South, the state will save considerable money by refusing to indict and attempting to convict an innocent man, but it will not be able to do so without conducting any form of government where colorphobia holds undisputed sway, and where those in authority cater to the prejudicial passions of their mobocratic constituents. If reduced to dollars and cents, we are of the opinion that a startling figure would disclose just the exact amount the state (prosecution) spent in a vain and futile effort to persecute Colonel Roberts as race as being addicted to criminal urges upon white women. While it is not our purpose to encourage our people to condone crime and to defend a criminal merely because he is black, it is our holden duty to see to it that no innocent member of our race is ever railroaded to the electric chair, penitentiary or prison where he is being held. Once done by our group in the Collins case, can be done again in such a manner that its nature and others affecting the citizenship rights of our people. The man or race who never strikes even a puny blow in his or its own defense, will sooner or later become the door-mat of other men and races; but on the other hand the man or race who constantly hits a solar plexus blow in defense of his or its rights, soon becomes a punk in the door-mat and races, and thus said man or race becomes the possessor of their rights and privileges formerly denied and refused him or it.
