TEXAS NEGRO APPEARS IN GRAND OPERA TITLE ROLE BLACKS CONSCRIPTED IN FLA. HOME EDITION VOL. VIII TEXAS * * * * * * BLA THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON DODGING DEMSEY'S DEFEAT. Paraphrasing Abraham Lincoln, "You can dodge all the fists some of the time, you can dodge some of the fists all the time, but you can't dodge the rest of the time." The most roughly demonstrated Thursday Night of last week, when Dodging Dempsey went down in defeat before the onslaught of Gene Tunney, the new heavyweight champion of the boxing world. Heralded as a man killer and picked by the wisecares as the favorite to win an easy victory over the fighting marine, Dodging Dempsey was not up to his usual dodging form and joined the ranks of the "hasbeene." In a post-mortem statement, Dodging Dempsey was a “fist-kitting,” a message prior to the fight, stating that his wife was ill, rather unnerved him for the fray, and that he could not get going after he entered the roped arena. On the other hand his wife was still in the face of the “was giving something before the fight which totally incapacitated him physically and mentally; but it seems that it was what the new champion gave the ex-champion during the tilt that unleashed him. “The other thing,” he and left to the face, that closed eye, bruised revamped nostrils, masterly defense and tigerish offense of the fighting challenger from New York. Some of the Dempsey's staunch supporters are now charging that the fight was crooked and we admit that it was crooked—those crooked fists of Gene Tunney and that the spectre of Harry Tunney's hero's ghost, which would not down. Furthermore, Jack was not the fighter he was touted to be, for most of his fistic engagements were against men, and he was not the first to be a man that was not ever out of the field, not excluding Carpenter, Willard, Firpo, et al.; while Gibbons, a scruppy batter, made it very unpleasant for Jack in their tilt at Shelby, Montana. Against setups, Dodging Dempsey was a devouring and devastating Maybe Dodging Dampsey wishes now that he had fought Harry Wills, he'd quite adept in dodging Wills, he was quite adept in dodging Tunnery Glove flaps. Dampsey's dodging antics and his ability to outmaneuver the opponents against all comers and challengers, as well as his war record, contributed to Wills' success and now that the dodger has about 100 yards of little weeping and gnashing of teeth over the defeat of Jack the Jumper FLORIDA'S SAD FLIGHT. When it comes to staying in the spotlight, Florida seems to have a monopoly on the calcium light. Last year the Everglade State attracted national and international attention by its unusual and unprecedented reality activity, and during said activity much dures, violence and force was employed to orrowbeat, intimidate and drive Negroes from their holdings of yachts. Homes owned by colored citizens were burned; numerous members of the colored race were inhumanly and barbarously treated; floggings and lynchings increased at an alarming rate, and the state won, almost overnight, a crime record as unenviable in its proportions as the enviableness of the state's realty record and building of the future. During the first six months of 1928, Florida led all states in America in the Lynching League, and floggings, abductions and other depredations became so prevalent in said state that the governor was implored to place certain communities in the state under martial law. On the heels of this black spot upon her escutcheon came the tropical hurricanes, which brought unold havoc and destruction upon some of the coastal centers, claiming hundreds of lives are exacting heavy physical damages. We we not contend that the hurricane is necessarily the price that Florida must pay for her folly and waywardness, but (and we are not bragging neither are we shouting because of this horrible catastrophe) it may be that this has been disaster will bring the Item and barbarians of Florida to their senses, and have them to at least realise that there is some power greater than they are and that before the fury of the element (by THE HOUSTON INFORMER 'DEEP RIVER' PREMIERE DREW CAPACITY HOUSE; JULIUS BLEDSOE IS STAR WORLD SERIES RETURNS AT CITY, AUDITORIUM Local baseball bugs and partisans of the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees, contenders for baseball supremacy of the world, can witness the City Anditourism, beginning Saturday, October 2, 12:30 p.m. (Houston time).

Austin pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church of Chicago, filled the pulpit of Rev. J. Frank Norris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of St. Worth Sunday night and before a congregation of 8,000 white people, proclaimed "that slavery of the American Negro was divinely inspired." "You American whites," he declared, "played a noble part in response to the demands of the Divine program." The audience was deeply moved and voiced its approval of the black minister's stand. Comment has been rife all over Texas as the speech was widely broadcasted, the Sunday evening services of Rev. Norris' church being a regular part of the radio program here. Rev.

South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1926 FLORIDA STORM SEEN FROM MANY ANGLES BY RACE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C. — Florida keeps in the limelight, one way and another. Her ocean washed shores and ever glades, her sunshine and flowers, combined with the handicraft of man, have served to make it a place of music, a Utopia, where life in its fullness has seemed ever present. The recent disaster of storm, that had its center in Miami, and other communities of the southern part of Florida, has had the effect of making many people reflect on the folly of hate against an act of God, according to Information that reaches here from many sources. It so happens that Miami is one of the most praised and condemned cities in the United States. It is concerned. It has been said that there is more prejudice and discrimination to the square inch there than in any other city in Florida. It has also been said that Negroes are make-up in the城市. It is the railroad track. Both may be true, but it is likewise true, that Miami, and all the other cities where there has been disaster, now reflect as never before. "An act of justice has been made in the twentieth of the century," said one of our boys, all the youanted places of our boasting, where we have gloried in outcast and human hate," said one white man to a press representative. "We have been told that the twentieth of 'when we were plunged into disaster, no group of people anywhere were quicker to respond in personal service and financial aid, than the Negroes of Miami and other sections of Florida." The twentieth of the history of the folly of hate on us the folly of hate." Reports have been received from every section of Florida that all people joined heartily in rescue work and restoration. It is known that this action has been made in the twentieth of Florida on many leading whites of Florida, including Governor Martin, who on many occasions has demonstrated rare judgment and patriotic courage in advocating educative efforts. The leading for Negroes, along with others. President J. R. E. Lee of the State Department is deploying the important infrastructure Florida, has stated that he believes the people of the peninsula state, all the people of the peninsula state, all the pertinent and co-operation. Plans will continue for the tour of the "bunny" state, Florida, will visit will and observation, scheduled to leave Cincinnati, February 1st and 2nd, and visit Southern states, including Florida and Havana, Cuba, ending in Washington. The state will charge of many of these tours, and many of them are going from many Northern cities. NEW DORMITORY BEING ERECTED AT PRAIRIE VIEW NEW DORMITORY BEING ERECTED AT PRAIRIE VIEW Prairie View, Texas, Sept. 30, 1926. Students from every section of Texas and from many other states, made application to enter Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College at the beginning of the present session. For lack of dormitory accommodations, no doubt, 200 or 300 students were denied admittance. A new brick dormitory is rapidly going up on west campus and it is thought that this structure, when completed, will greatly alleviate the crowded condition. Schedules for all divisions and departments of the college are in operation, and all auxiliary of the college-religious, literary and athletic—have been organized and are actively engaged in developing constructive plans for the year's work. Coach James H. Law, Lincoln University, learned and courageously, at the time, is putting the boys in shape to contend for the conference shield. Coach Law has more than fifty young grid stars to pick from and it is predicted that he will be able to handle any grid machine that can be put up this season. Principal W. R. Banks is lending every possible assistance to every legitimate enterprise looking forward to the development of the institution, and his reception has been genuine and whole hearted.

Wright, Chicago's Political Leader, Enters Vigorous Protest—Hurricane Failed to Affect Huns and Barbarians of Everglade State, According To Reports. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, IL—The conscription of Negroes to labor in the reconstruction of storm-wrecked Florida, as is being carried on by whites at the present time and which resulted in the wounding of several Negroes by sailors Friday, has brought forth hundreds of protests to President Calvin Coolidge and a wave of indignation that has swept the entire Negro population of this country. In the effort to restore Miami and other cities in the path of the recent hurricane which wrought havoc in Florida, the reports declare that sailors and soldiers, armed with rifles, have invaded Negro sections of the towns and forced them into trucks in which they were carried to the storm-torn sections and committed to work. SUNSET GRAND LODGE HELD SESSION IN CITY; ILL. JOHN BELL HERE In many instances, those conceived in this fashion were on route to rune jobs but this made no difference to their jobs in this fashion. Even when ever accepted but simply "get in that truck," and a later command, "get Negroes Resent Treatment." After several days of this sort of infringement on their rights, Negroes must be subjected to the treatment and as a result a miniature race war was staged in the field to test the ability of one woman and two sailors were involved in the treatment. SUNSET GRAND HELD SESSION ILL. JOHN I The 300 or more delegates, who attended the 17th annual grand session of the University of Maryland, held free and accepted Scottish Rite Masses of the United States of America, held here last week, left Houston claiming it the most constructive and the best of the research, with the order of the session.

Mr. Bell, who has been mentioned as being dead, proved to be very much alive and had recited the Masons' rites. He was the existence in this country. Denying that the Masons his branch are clandestines, he has been made his Masonic authority from the Ancient Free and Accepted Scottish Rite having been sent into Haiti, Cuba and Denmark by the white Man of the Masons sets (latter being considered the mother Masonic lodge of America) he wounded. To curb further outbreaks the militia units was called out and the Army was sent to the safe-guard those forcing the concession. Wright Sends Protests.

Going further, Mr. Bell declared that he received his authority at the Masonic in Va. in 1915, from the hands of Pleasant and grand commanders of the respective San Domingo, 32nd and grand commanders of their respective Masonic leader facsimile or photocopic prints of the passivity which he used in going to Haiti for his Masonic commission and for his Masonic commission and that the report current that he was expelled from the Masonic order was held with Bell in all his original contentions, as well as the amended Authority from Haiti. Mr. Bell, amid much applause from his Masonic auditors, emphatically assemble a committee in America who has his patents, wants authority, et cetera, from the Masonic body, to leave America, visit a foreign country and secure sage, he should, "lift the lid," continued, "admit over their own signatures that they authorized the Masons in Domingo, and if I go over there, get my authority from the Masons in back to America, isn't it true that authority % of American origin and descent % of that be true, and regular % of that be true, the same branch of Masons who originally established and authorized the juriedinations in Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo" (Shouts of "That's right!") from all sections of the house at the conclusion of the above remarks of the Masons, who is now 71 years of age.)

The following telegram, sent to President Coxon by Hon. Edward H. W. Coxon, a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission, is typical of the deluge of the Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, Washington, D.C., who made of fifteen million Negroes in America, I protest against the conscription of Negroes in the Army. The involuntary service has been abolished and is prohibited by the Constitution. There are more justification for the conscription of labor than there is for the conscription of wealth against the owner's compulsory duty. The trope may have vaulted a community.

It was a veritable schooling for them. Their stay was necessary. 1. To allow them to recuperate from the war. 2. To train them morally and spiritually for the great work before them. The wonderful transactions at Sinai were the key to hope, for through them they came to know God as their king and them to love. 3. To have them thoroughly organized. It was not only necessary for the march, but for the warfare in gaining possession of the land of Canaan. 1. Marching From Sinai at the Hand of God. The nation had now grown to a great host—the army itself of 603,500 strong. Allowing with division three of the army were 1,810,000. The army was organized into four great sections or divisions with three of the sections were organized on the basis of the three sons of Aaron—Geroh, Kohan and Merari. The Kohanites had the charge of the most precious things. The Gerohites had the next place of honor, while the drudgery fell upon them. 1. The signal given (v. 11). The lifting of the cloud from off the sanctuary was the signal for the camp to be broken and the march to begin. 2. The signal given to rest (v. 12). Just as the sign to march must be recognised, so the sign to rest must be obeyed. 8. The Commander (v. 15). God was the Commander through His servant, Moses. 4. The order of the march (v. 16-17). As they marched the division led by Judah went forward, followed by Gershon and Merari bearing the cornerer part of the tabernacle. Then marched Keuben's division, followed by the Kohathites bearing the sacred utensils of the tabernacle. These were followed by the division of Ephraim and Dan. The ark occupied a central position with the moving caravan. 11. Moses Seeking the Help of Hobab (vv. 29-32). Hobab was a shrewd child of the desert. Moses thought therefore that his knowledge thereof would be helpful. The children of Israel were going forth under the guiding care of the Almighty. Surely He could be trusted. Certainly He knew that dreadful wilderness. 12. We will do these good." Moses had faith in God's promises to Israel and could well assure Hobab that good would come to him by identifying himself with God's covenant people. 2. "Then mayest be to us instead of Moses still insisted that Hobab should go along, not only for the good he could get but for the good he might go. 11. Marching to Canaan with the Lord as Leader (v. 38, 39). 12. The ark with Israel, we never hear of his leading the people. The Lord will not have it so. Observe. 13. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them (v. 38). 14. The ark, the symbol of the divine power, the midst of the camp and took its place at the head. 15. The cloud of the Lord rested upon the ark. 16. This was an indication that God was not only leading, but governing the land. 17. The Lord vindication (v. 85, 88). 18. "We unbelief caused a rework upon the Lord. This action on the part of God vindicated His leadership. This act of God in identifying the people. When the ark rested and set forward, he exclaimed "Bise up, Lord. And let them that hate Thee free before Them," and when it rested— Return O Lord, the many dead God's Love We are taught to think that God is the biggest thing in the universe, the biggest thing in the biggest things we know, and then we lift our eyes upon one that is the biggest thing we know.

Tex Maundy Money Maundy Thursday, the day before Good Friday, was, in old times, a day of alms-giving, upon which the savengers of England gave money, food and clothing to as many poor persons as the kings were years old. Sat Up and Took Notice BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS ( copyright ) MAT WINLSON looked down from his great height beaded the fireplace and in his big, steep eyed eyes was an expression that Gene had never been. "Gene," he was saying seriously, "I told you a few months ago that I loved you and wanted you to become." "I didn't promise I would, though," hastily interposed Gene. "No-and I am glad you didn't. I loved you and wanted you. Now, you have developed into a far different type of girl from the dear Gene I loved. I don't know whether it's Tom I love you, or maybe I mistaken in the wonderful woman I was watching from a lover's idea." "Well-it has taken you to offer me a man. If you don't mind, I will appreciate being left alone." Little teeth were clenched and the cigarette holder "I beg your pardon—I have in no way insisted you. I simply told you that you are not in danger, that is no disarray in the fact that you prefer amusements, dancing, theaters and racing cars and be eternally on the move. There are plenty like you in the world, but I prefer to be closer with a man of Chandler's type than you could with me. Also, you would make him harper than you possessed him. You would tremendously for a moment, "I could have loved the girl you were six months ago as a few women are loved by men." You would be to me all that I had hoped you would." Mat went out and closed the door gently but firmly behind him. She went out for a long walk to clarify her mind. She must have a regular cleaning of the mental side of her nature and try to set all things to rights. "I can't do much clear thinking with this awful assortment of tangled strings pulling me in every direction." "In the first place," she reckoned with herself, "I am very fond of Tom Chandler, and if it were not for one or two little doubts I would marry him tomorrow as he demands, but—"Gene's thoughts were for the moment arrested by a small child tripping along beside her mother, gripping in one hand the all-wonderful mother hand and in the other clutching her doll. Her eyes shadowed. "Tom thinks they're a bother—at least at first. Mat's world revolves round the heart of a child, a lovely home, beautiful garden and trips off to some vast silence of the hills. Mat says one gets remade close to the great universe." Gene laughed shakily. "Tom, on the other hand, wants to take me to Paris for a time. When we're there of Paris, on to Monte Carlo and then—well, when we have exhausted everything we can start over again. There's no doubt I would broaden out and have a grand and glorious time—if I marry Tom." And behind all Gene's thoughts lay the fact that the long nights of dancing and short hours of sleep were robbing her cheeks of their glorious dusky red. "Mat would order me to bed," she laughed to herself. "He will never laugh at her." After all, good luck in the greatest blessing in the world. Oh dear, she sighed. "Mat would smoke a cigarette but suddenly she realized that it was one of the habits that had lost her a father intolerable thought that some other girl would slip into the glove box, so that mat had that woman who would love children and who would not smoke and who would enjoy going for that sniffing up into her mouth. Mat was suddenly frightened at the thought of a world in which Mat lived "When could I run to with all my troubles?" she asked her niece agnate "Somehow I can't think Tom could be so frightened." However, I think I had better carry on for another few months and see what I could I could I could Mat happy while-" The distance suddenly Gems caught sight of Mat's familiar frame. He was walking easily along toward her but just behind him and running to catch up with him appeared Helen was the nearest approach to Mat's ideals that Gene could picture. She would be walking up the stair with Mat. Even now she had taken his arm and they were strolling toward Gene. He was not being a coward she wavenly beamed on. In her vivid imagination, now that the cleaning was done and things were tidying up, she saw little child clinging to Helen's hand and also to Mat's big one. Gene digged her heels into the path and three drew near Gene smiled joyfully and very happily into Mat's swiftly enclosed eyes. After greeting Me, "I'm taking a trip back—over six months. I—want very much to get there—safely. Will you—" He looked at me the look at me for the mate. Phones: Business: Hadley 8409 Residence: Hadley 9020-J MAGNETO CLEANERS & DYERS P. D.

Sept. 27 — A scant crowd heard Robocoe Conklin Simmons on Monday evening, Sept. 27, at Python Temple Theatre. The main floor was scarcely half filled with no one in the gallery. Mr. Simmons was to see the performance Wednesday, but because of the recent hurricanes and storms was delayed. Whether the slim crowd was due to the postponement or some other cause, the fact remains that the usual great crowds that rushed out to hear Simmons on his former lecture tours was on the platform were: Hen. Walter H. Sewell, S. W. Green, John Gainey, and O. C. W. Taylor, who headed the com Mr. Simmons was not exactly his former self. His manner has changed, and he has taken pictures drawn with that fluent flow of perfect English he so often boasts about. His dress was somewhat different; what he wore was different. He seems not to suffice now. Some of the statements made by him were in the South, where the most important thing needed in the South was the restoration of the has and the citizenship, one is powerless. "You are the restraints and legislate, but it will do no good for we have amendments now to the Constitution, and we are not enforced," he said. "It is with the Negro to solve his own problem it is with the White." He referred to those who sat with him on the platform as having their problems, enlarging on the achievements of each of them. A strong appeal was made to his audience to read and learn of the history of the great men of the Negro race, so that they might be inspired to exemplify their lives and compare their progress with other races. "White folks have the business, and you spend your money with them," he asserted. "What do you expect your children to do after you have educated them with no business enterprises, or occupation when they come out of school? Any race must prepare for its children to make a great race. No other race, except the Negro, has had such opportunities to enjoy privileges without responsibilities. The Afro-American Negro stands in his own way—envy, jealousy, selfishness and strife between each other." He continued. Col. Simmons laid stress on the question asked his hearers, "What is society". He said there can be no society without leisure, and with wealth there can be no leisure. "The two go hand in hand. The average Negro has but little of either," he said. "You might get together in association and enjoy yourselves, but not the idea of society. Some of us would sell our birthright for leisure and pleasure. We are a people who show up better under oppression; it seems necessary to draw out our worth." Education was very strikingly compared to learning. He said, "education is what you find out for yourself, learning what you get from others. An educated man writes his own books, learning you read what another has written. Education feasts on life, learning on dead things." Col. Simmons closed his address with an appeal to his audience to believe in him. He impressed them with his desire to help them. He invited them to come out to hear him, when programmed to speak as he would have a message for them. There is no man better informed on the history and situation of the Negro race.

SCIPIO JONES STARTS ANOTHER BATTLE FOR DEFENSE OF HIS RACE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Little Rock, Ark.—Suspired on by the apparent "double-crossing" handed the "Old Guard" by a group of NEGRO republicans who compromised seats in the recent convention, Honorable Scribble A. Jones, political leader and according to who know Attorney Jones known no defeat. The belief and confidence that the people of Arkansas have in Scribble A. Jones is well founded in a record of hard work and practically every school boy and girl, as well as by the "lily white" republican state convention of Arkansas refused to go on record in opposition to the Clause, which had for its purpose the disfranchisement of Negro voters of Arkansas, Mr. Jones assembled the two years ago when the "lily white" republican state convention numbered the Republican party and used policemen to exclude them from the Pulaski County convention. Judge Jones, as he is a municipal attorney, also attended the Cleveland convention and again emerged from the fray victor. Refuses Seat in Convention. Realizing his strength, the "hilly whites," at their "runup convention" held July 15, tendered the judge a seat which he refused. Now comes the tacit endorsement of "hilly whites" by a group of Negroes which was repudiated by all fair-minded and thinking Negroes and again Judge Jones is marshalling his forces for battle. Holds Respect of Both Races. The esteem and respect for Judge Jones on the part of his own people are shared by the whites, as is indicated by his election to the municipal court bench and as chancellor of the Little Rock district by the Little Rock. Bar Association of which a large number of the members were and are white democrats. In this capacity, Judge Jones has served in a manner which reflects credit upon the bar, and the bench and has gained a reputation of being a lover of equality, a believer in justice to all and a fearless judge. Judge Jones attained national fame when he successfully defend eighty-four victims of the Tlaine riot in 1919, when after a legal battle which PANTHERS LOOK GOOD TO COACH; FAST TEAM SEEN PANTHERS LOOK GOOD TO COACH; FAST TEAM SEEN Prairie View, Texas, Sept. 29, 1926. Football spirit ran high here last week when 65 stalwart young candidates reported to Coach Law to make a try out for the 1926 eleven. The outlook here is exceedingly promising. Coach J. H. Law, four letter man of Lincoln University and Springfield Y. M. C. A., formerly coach of Lincoln, Samuel Huston and Morgan College, has taken full charge of athletics and is fast whipping the raw material into formidable machine. The first year contest this year comes on October 22 with Samuel Huston College and on October 28 when Langston and the eleven of Oklahoma will invade the state from the north. It will be remembered that Prairie View suffered a defeat at the hands of the Oklahoma lads last year 19 to 0 and the spirit here is strong for revenge. Assifting Coach Law are T. H. Lee, formerly backfield star of Lincoln University and rated as the best�anter in the East; Frank Arnold, formerly star fullback of Prairie View; M. A. Dillon, formerly star lineman of Tuskegee and all conference center of Prairie View, and C. H. Waller, formerly Penn State trainer and well leader. It is openly predicted by some who are well acquainted with Texas athletics that the institution will be of the new administration, this will be the greatest year for athletics the institution has ever seen. Principal W. H. H. McCormick of old, has let it be known that he believes in developing the athletics of an institution as well as the other acad STUART COMMENDS INFORMER'S POLICY; MERGER EXPLAINED Editor The Houston Informer: We wish to thank you for your congratulations on our efforts in merging the business of the Mississippi Delta with the business of the Southern sold its industrial business in the State of Tennessee to the Interstate Insurance Company of Arkansas, and 20 times the health and accident, and the Universal got one hundred and Arkansas, and Texas for 10 times on both industrial life and health and insurance because of the contract that Mr. Anderson and I secured two years of work. We should have the right to buy the business at any time for 10 times we should have the right to buy the business at any time for 10 times in other words, we gave the Universal the benefit of our contract; from 20 to 35 times for our business JUDGE SCIPO A. JONES extended over a period of five years and was waged in the highest courts of the land, ending in a glorious victory for justice—with the acquittal of his clients. This, however, is not the only time Judge Jones has championed the cause of justice for little or no compensation. Citizens of Arkansas, colored and white, are yet enshoring him for his victory which resulted in breaking up the convict lease system which virtually slavery for Negroes and poor whites. Has Held But One Public Office. Despite the fact that he is nationally known leader in fraternal, legal, and political circles, Judge Jones has been appointed by the World War II bestowed World War, the judge was appointed by the late Woodrow Wilson, his son. He is a member of the legal board and served his country without pay until the close of the war. Judge William H. Taft, president, offered to appoint him recorder of deeds in the District of Colorado, giving him, honor giving, as his reason, "I am too poor." reason, however, would not hold water today as the judge has amassed quite a fortune, and is now promoting two subdivisions—one for the moving force in the Monsoon Templars, one the strongest fraternal TAYLOR CHAMBER COMMERCE HEAD LAUDS INFORMER Taylor, Texas, Sept. 28, 1926. Editor Houston Informer. We wish to thank you for the comment on the first page of your Saturn magazine, and we would like to help and should be inductive to get us help. So far this organization has not heard of any unjust actions of the local police, and we would like to ask for us to permit injuries if we could prevent them, because it would cause harm to the community in the future. We do not say that such cases do not exist, but if they have occurred, we would like to inform the community in this neighborhood is about ten or fifteen cutpicked on, and unless unforeseen calamity hits them, we do not want to harm them. While there are calls for several thousand pickers in Texas, there are no pickers here. When the situation, provided they would settle down to pick and quit their jobs, there are no pickers here and picked a week and would then leave for other parts of the state. Pickers are passing through the directions. Such actions are detrimental to both the pickers and cotton farmers, and they would also money alienate them in their time on non-revenue bearing actions, and also money already owned by them. If the field the more it will deteriorate and result in less revenue to the farm We wish to thank you for the free space you gave us and let you know that we appreciate this courtesy on your part. You're very truly. just as the Interate, a white conference, had to pay. I also I claim credit for having saved at least $15,000 for the Universal. The information informer has made a very favorable impression with the officers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, and we will be in touch with them in the future in any way that we can. Some of our race papers, when we were about to out about two years ago, played up the facts and sensationally. Some of the papers we read in the sapipli Life was repurposed, failed to care for, at all, notwithstanding the fact that we were interested in the news matter in plenty of time. It was pursuing to us to understand the facts, and a race gain did not interest none of our journals. But not so with The Houston Interate! M. S. STUART, Gen. Mgr., Universal Life Insurance On.

Sunset Masons--- (Continued From Page One.) Thomas, visited the sanctum of The Houston Informer, and exhibited his authority and credentials to the editor of this paper. Mr. Bell stated that his branch of Masons is the only colored group chartered and incorporated at Austin to do business in Texas, the other colored Masonic branches merely having franchises to operate in Texas, he added. In discussing his Masonic authority and jurisdiction, Mr. Bell said: "Whenever and wherever we have gone to bat to prove that we are regular and properly qualified to function as real Masons, we have won our case, and we have always been able to prove to the satisfaction of the court, doubters and knockers that we are genuine and not spurious nor clandestine. Our order is making rapid strides in Texas, and, while we have no fight, legal or otherwise, to raise with other branches of Masons in Texas or any other state, we do contend that we are the only true, genuine and regular co-ordered Masons in the United States of America, and what it takes to prove it, I happen to have it. If there are any from Missouri, I can show them; if there are any from Elgin, tell them just to watch me." He took time to compliment Houston's civic appearances and the great accomplishments he made, and thought that the colored clitics of "Heavenly Houston" do not suffer from the racial prejudice of large American cities. He stated that the 17th annual grand session of the NAACP was, was very constructive and reflective, much unconventional and credit upon the NAACP. He called the Negro race, "But, editor," he said in his shot sheet, "please tell the world that we are dead through certain fraternal publications and correspondence, in still other ways, that we are time and energy for the best interests of the Masonic craft and the Negro IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my darling mother, Mrs. G. A. Alexander, who passed away September 30, 1924, at Bremond, Texas; Two years today seem only yesterday since my sweet and tigerly flower grew, bloomed and faded in this very same garden, but this wonderful flower was my choice of all. I watched this flower as it grew and faded away, not knowing it would leave so soon; and each time the thought of this precious flower is recalled, it is as fresh as two years ago—for my heart chills within me. Words fail me when I attempt to say how I miss my darling flower. Oh! how it grieves me to lose the one adored and loved with all my strength; for she was such a dear flower, so many times when I am smiling, a bank of tears is almost overflowing. I know there is not a flower blooming now that can fill this one's place—she was so cheering to me, she would bring sunshine in my saddens house. Oh! Lord, help me to forget and enable me to join this flower you plucked, some fair day in the sweet beyond. My flower is Mother; she is gone but she shall never be forgotten.

A recent issue of The Informer carried a feature news story about M. S. Stuart and M. E. Anderson, formerly general agents of the Mississippi Life Division of the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tenn., repurchasing, regaining and reclaiming the industrial business of the Mississippi Life in Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, and merging same with the Universal Life Company of Memphis, Tenn. The Informer considered this transaction of such far-reaching importance and inspirational nature as to warrant front page publicity, and, in doing this, this paper merely lived up to its well-established reputation of giving publicity and circulation to the worthwhile and commendable deeds and accomplishments of our race. It does not require much brains to be an advocate and apostle of destruction, for any little fool can destroy in almost the twinkling of an eye what it took years to construct. When the Standard and Mississippi Life insurance companies were lost to the race, some of our papers "played it up" in glaring headlines (which was their journalistic and civil prerogative); but when this recent deal was consummated restoring part of the Mississippi Life to the Negro race, very few of the race publications devoted much to the protection of the American people. Despite the what the consummation of this gigantic deal was one of the smartest and cleverest financial maneuvers in the race's history in America, and added material strength, prestige and influence to the merging organizations, and restored some of the confidence the race had previously lost in the ability of its men to successfully man and operate large insurance companies, the colored dress, apparently, regarded the transaction in a light vein, and very little publicity was given to this deal. In a letter to the editor of The Informer, Mr. M. S. Stuart, one of the leading principals in the acquisition and merger, said: "Some of our race papers, when the Mississippi and Standard were sold out about two years ago, played up the face big and made us feel like we were not interested. Life was repurchased, failed to carry the event at all; notwithstanding they were furnished with the news matter in plenty of letters." "It was puzzling to us to understand why the race's losses were headlined so flagrantly, and a race gain did not interest us of our journals." This ringing and stinging indictment is too often made against certain principals, whose editorial and repertoire staff seem to take unusual delight in playing up and giving wide and undue publicity to the shortcomings, real, reputed and imaginary—of race leaders and racial organizations; but when some commendable and praiseworthy act is done or some noteworthy achievement is made, so many of our papers will not feature such news. This is some "financial consideration" for carrying said news story. While criticising and lambasting the daily white newspapers for always chronicling: the bad and worst side of our race, our race editors should pay a little more attention to the class and type of news that they weekly employ in their own publications. During last year a committee of representative Negroes, in a group of 100 black journalists and publishers of the daily newspapers of their city, with a view to persuading these white editors to play up the race shortcomings and to devote more space in their publications to the commendable things done by the Negro face. These white editors and publishers asked for a little time to study the matter, assuring the committee that they would be more than pleased to give them another hearing at a subsequent date. In the meantime these same white editors and publishers began to make a careful study and close observation of the news items appearing weekly in the leading colored newspapers of that city and section; and, when the colored committee returned for the final conference, these white editors and publishers produced a batch of colored newspapers and showed this colored committee that the Negro newspapers carry more news about crime committed by Negroes and other things that reflect upon the colored race, than do the white daily newspapers. In the face of such stubborn facts and visible evidences, the colored committee was to admit that the white newspaper The Houston Informer men were right, and thus the race delegation left the conference sadder but wiser men. The Informer does not essay to dictate to journalistic contemporaries the manner in which they should conduct their news reports, and we feature the race's losses and liabilities and say little, if anything, about the race's gains and assets, we should be the last persons on mater terra to complain about the class and calibre of news printed in the daily newspapers about our people. The Informer, while not posing as a journalistic criterion or standard, has steadfastly refused to chronicle what is commonly known as "nigger mess," and this paper has never sought to destroy any race man or race institution just to carry sensational news and make a few temporary sales. Journalism is a noble and lofty calling, and the office of editor, publisher, and liability, judgment, poise and common sense; and an impersonal attitude should always be assumed when it comes to giving the people news and views. This Mississippi Universal merger deserved as much, if not more, space and publicity than the stories about its (the Mississippi's) loss to the race, and the manner in which the loss was occasioned. The Informer takes this opportunity to congratulate Messrs. M. S. Stuart, M. E. Anderson and Dr. J. E. Walker, all race men and insurance luminaries of the first magnitude, for the part they played in restoring the industrial business of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company of Memphis, Tennessee! NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS FOR COLORED PUPILS. In awarding contracts, recently, for the erection of three new buildings at the Gregory, Harper and Douglass elementary schools for colored children, the Houston board of education and superintendent have finally indicated that they intend to do something substantial and concrete regarding the physical plants of the colored schools in this city. In addition to this building program, the board has also acquired additional land at all three of these colored ward schools, as well as the Colored High School on San Felipe, and it begins to appear that some bit of relief from crowded conditions and inadequate facilities is in sight for local colored teachers and schoolchildren. Fully one-quarter of a million dollars will be spent for new structures, modern in their entirety, at Gregory, Harper and Douglass schools, excluding the cost of the additional ground for campus at these three ward schools and the aforementioned Colored schools. In this connection, the board has also awarded a contract for a 18-room building at the Bruce School, Fifth Ward, with cafeteria, clinic, two auditoriums, etc.; also purchasing additional ground and spending in all $8,400 on and at this elementary school—fully $15,000 more than allotted in the original budget. Aside from these land purchases and new buildings, the board has also purchased a new school in Third Ward, which cost in the neighborhood of $75,000. Summed up, the board has already authorized the expenditure of nearly one-half million dollars on and at six of the local public schools for colored children, with additional purchases of land and physical facilities to be made at several of the remaining elementary schools. This is, by far, the largest sum of money ever expended on the colored public schools in Houston's history, and, perhaps, represents more money than spent on all previous colored school buildings than on the establishment of public schools in this city for colored children. The Informer wishes to commend and thank the local board of education, superintendent and business manager for the tangible contributions made by the Houston public schools; for the ambitious program will do much to not only place the local schools on a plane with similar institutions in other Texas and Southern cities, but to place our public schools in the hands of others in Texas and the South—where ours rightly belonged. Money spent for and in the education of any people, is an investment and not an expenditure; for it requires a symmetrical education to develop good citizens and to assure the perpetuation of our culture. The colored public schools are important factors in this necessary development. HAS SENATOR REED BEEN REGENERATED? Having been unofficially notified that the recent klan启蒙ator at Washington, D.C., endorsed him as the democratic presidential standard-bearer in 1928, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri turned loose a strange phrase—strange when emanating from a man of the senator's well-known attitude regarding racial prejudice. In his statement to the press after his unofficial notification of his endemination, the senator is quoted as saying, among other things, the following: "I regard the attempt to ostracise man or woman of race or religion." The Informer wonders if the senator was merely trying to be alliterative in his "hrace and religion" statement, or if he meant what he is reported to have uttered on said occasion? The Missouri solon was sincerely and meant what he said on his statement to the informer "see the light," and was his conversion "full and complete." If the senator believes with his heart what he utters through his mouth, when and where did his regeneration take place? Senator Reed has been nationally known for his anti-Negative attitude, and is truly a man many years he has worn the senatorial toga, he has never championed the race because said race was persecuted, outlawed and ostracised because of its racial identity, or previous condition of servitude. Truly, we are in a strange and amidst peculiar conditions. We are living in a world where our erstwhile dormant political leaders emigrate from the "mourners' bench," waving the American constitution and Holy Writ above their heads, making belated contents for the "Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man," and embracing all of the bloods, races and religions, in their constitutional arms! Most assuredly God "still works in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform"; and the conversion of Senator Reed Hunt, it realizes, is "not a mystery." He has hatched and changed Saul on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christians and bring them bound to Jerusalem, has not lost any of them, and has not been captured. (Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, will now please lead us prayer!) Selah!

HARPER FILLED BETHEL PULPIT; CHURCH PACKED Houstonians of all denominations and from all walks of life crowded Bethel Baptist Church Andrews and Crosby, of which Rev. J. R. Burdette is pastor, at both the Sunday morning hops of the New York Church, Harper, former pastor and present pastor of the St. John Institutional Baptist Church of Dallas, in a series of sermons. The occasion was the 35th anniversary celebration of the founding of Bethel Baptist Church which was the first in the religious order in 1891 by the revered and lamented Rev. Jack Yates. By special request Rev. Harper delivered one of his celebrated discourses, "Back to Bethel," at the morning service, and a petal show of smokers seemed to beưng to the entire congregation. Women shopted the entire congregation. Women shouted the entire congregation as the visiting minister made a fervent plea for a return to the "spiritual Bethel" (the church or house of God), stating that this admonition from God to the church was not a suggestion but the command. At the night service Rev. Harper was heard by an even larger congregation, many standing throughout the service as he broke the bread of life. Not being satisfied with the two sermons Sunday, he was held in the red room. The Harper remain over and preach again Monday night, which he did, returning to Dallas that night. While here the revered was kept busy meeting and greeting old friends and former parishioners, all of whom were delighted to have him in their midday visit, and to hear his advertise on things spiritual. In connection with the 35th annual celebration of Baltham, prowess night during this week, a social stunt and free banquet being carded for Pride Week, the event night is also being conducted, ending Sunday, October 28. The church membership has been divided into two groups: the 10 to see which side will raise the highest amount during the campaign. The other group is conferred a banquet by the losing side.
