PHONE PRESTON 2921 HOUSTON, TEXAS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1926 A great deal of the success of the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the National league pennant has been due to the consistent work of Grover Cleveland, Alexander faith, and Bob O'Farrill, two Chicago, Ohio, and Oakland. The pitcher and catcher have done excellent work for Manager Hornaby. Tod Sloan Best Jockey, Captain Pie Traynor Ple Traynor, who broke into the insultnel when he smashed out a home run in the opening game of the world's series last year, has been appointed to succeed Max Carey as captain of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The recent shakeup caused the suspension of Max Carey without pay, and the unconditional release of "Babe" Adams and Renee Bighue. The photograph is of Ple Traynor. Wholesome Influence of Opponents of intercollege athletics get little sympathy from Fielding H. Yost, director of athletics at the University of Texas, when asked recently of the relation of athletics to high schools. Yost said the country needed the wholesome induction of students from slipping. Athletics, high schools as well "teach the lessons of endurance, skill, self-scrrifice and the necessity for constant work in order to exercise," athletics teach the student body lessons in loyalty to their group and all are allowed with throughput in the course. It is likely in a dear in defeat as in victory. "In these days, when every stratum of the population has nationalism and immorality, we need such wholesome influences as athletics and civilization from slipping behind.

Purchase by the White Sox of Evert Purdy, outfielder of the Lakers, the Western League, is announced. Manager Oscar Stange of Evansville was enriched $100 by reason of being selected the most valuable player to his club. Harold Britt, one of the cleverest center forwards in professional baseball, was named the New Bedford of the American league. New Fosse, in the National league for several seasons, prior to this spring, has been purchased by Cleveland from the Newark club of the International League. William R.裴, well-known theatrical prodigy, has lured Ben Leardon, the retired lightweight champion of the world, into the musical comedy ring this season. President Davidson of the New England league announces the hire of Ben Leardon of the England wetterweight champion, as an umbrella in the New England league. Washington has released Jimmy Smith, Salem (Oklahoma) pro-catcher, and Joshua Brandon of Brandon from Portsmouth of the Virginia league, Smith's services were no longer required.

Lesson for October 10 THE REPORT OF THE SPIEES LESSON TEXT—Numbers 11:17-14.45 GOLDEN TEXT—We are well able to PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Brave Spies. INTERMEDIATE AND NENOH TOPIC—The Brave and the Covered TOUGH PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Couragies of Faith. 1. The Spies Sent Out (13:17:20). Less than two years have passed from the brave Spies being from Egyptian bargeage. They are now at Kaddebeh within sight of the enemy. They go to in and take immediate possession (Dex. 1.21). 11. The Spies Sent Out (11:18:20) shows that God did not take the initiative in sending out the spies, but that the people because of lack of resources had a threefold purpose in sending out the spies. 2. To see whether the land was an God had told them (v.18). 2. To see whether the people who dwelt there were strong or weak, few or many (v.18). 2. To see whether the cities were made up of strongphones or of tents (v.19). 2. The Commission Executed (13:18:22). They entered the land from the south and trudged to its northern border, where their return forced the north to gather some specimens of the fruit of the land. I. The Spies Rendered a Report (15.28.29) 1. The majority report (v. 28.29) (1) The land sowth with milk and honey (v. 27). a a proof of it they displayed the fruit. (2) The people who live there are strong (v. 28). a the people lived in walled cities (v. 28). (4) The land is inhabited by giants. In comparison with the inhabitants of the land they saw themselves as grasshoppers. Furthermore, they saw cities in the south country, the Hittites, Jebusites and Amherstites in the north, and the seacrest—that it was impossible to conquer them. In part this report agreed with the first. It did not ignore the difficulties, not dispute the facts, but it did deny that the land was well able to pose the land and urged immediate action. IV. The Rebellion of the People (15.29.30) He assured Moses that He had granted paired according to his intercession, and would bring them into the land according to His promise, yet with the assurance that man of that generation should be deserved. The presumption of the people (vv. 40-55). Hes held unselfreed to go up and command of Moses, now in presumption they go. Moses advised them against such presumption, saying, "I will command you." Reverence for God Your reverence for God increases as you meditate upon His matches worth mentioning and works to the children of men—Gospel Herod. Elect and Non-Elect The "elect" and the "non-elect" who "whosever will"; the "non-elect" are the "whoever won't."—Echoes. Sin and Profit He who sin for profit shall not profit by his sin—Echoes.

A woman that fumed had opened and used yesterday that she had opened and used yesterday that she had opened and used away with it. Then the Brows bought a fine dinner set, used it for a week and then brought it back because they had decided they didn't like the shape of the soup plates. They had brought the backpack of a gundump." "I wouldn't do to be a street artist," Donald said. "We need Donald. The Brows are good customers. We don't want to get them." "It isn't becoming," the girl graintly, "Not the least little bit but the most." But the hat has been worn, "and Tom." Agreeed the girl, "The shower came up quite unexpectedly and we were a mile from home. You see I wore the hat thinking it was becoming that is unbecoming." But it wasn't our fault, explained the girl brightened. "Oh, yes, it was, really. The girl that sold it not this one, she out now—aid it Donald said that the line of argument was most abound. He must go on wearing that when it is so drastically unbecoming" She cabled her woman in office and then began softly to cry.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1926 STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION ETC, REQUIRED BY THE AGC OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST OF THE HOUSTON INFORMER, published weekly at Houston, Texas, for October 1.%, Houston, Texas, County of Harris: Before me, a notary public in and for the state and county aforementioned, personally appeared Cliffon F. Richardson, who having been duly sworn according to the laws of the state, and the INFOILMER and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, circulation, etc., of the aforementioned publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the statute of August 24, 1912, emboldened in section 43, Postal laws and Regulations. 1. That the name and address of the publisher, editor and managing editor are Cliffon F. Richardson, Temple, Houston, Texas. 2. That the owner is Cliffon F. Richardson. 3. That the known bondholders, mortgages and other security holders own 1 per cent or more total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other secured (My commission expires June 30, 1927.) TO DECIDE MANY LOCAL ISSUES OCTOBER 16. The voters of Houston will be called upon to decide the fate of several issues and propositions on Saturday, October 16, 1926, when six charter amendments and five bond issues will be voted on by the qualified voters of this city—black and white, male and female. The voters will be given two separate and distinct ballots, and they will be expected to exercise their elective franchise rights either for or against all the propositions. The first three amendments to the city charter deal with increasing the salaries of the mayor to $12,000 per annum, city council members to $5,000 per annum and city controller to $8,000 per annum. The fourth charter amendment bestows upon the city government the authority to widen, extend and open up streets and assess property in proportion to the benefit the property receives from such improvements. This authority the city already has by virtue of its last decree has never been written into the organic law of the municipal. The fifth proposition provides for so amending the city charter as to permit the appointment of a temporary judge of the corporation court, in the event of illness, absence or inability from any cause of the corporation judge to act. Under the present charter the mayor or one of the city commissioners can act as corporation judge during the absence of the regularly appointed judge of court. The sixth proposition has to do with the annexation of Magnolia Park, one of Houston's suburbs, and the residents of Magnolia Park will vote on this same proposition at the same time, deciding whether they want to take in this adjacent municipality. Bond issues totaling $1,450,000 will also be voted on at this special election, viz: Roadways down each side of Ship Channel, $1,500,000; Bray's Bayou drive, Hermann Park to MacGregor Park; $300,000; sanitary sewers, $150,000; graveling streets, $150,000; permanent paving, $350,000. The only amendment that seems to be occasioning quite a bit of unfavorable discussion is the one relating to the annexation of Magnolia Park, which The Informer opposed when voted on before the voters of Houston and which election the courts held invalid, null and void. The Informer is not opposed to the growth, expansion and progress of Houston, which seems destined to become the leading city in the great Southwest; but this paper wonders if Magnolia Park, with its 10,000 or 12,000 white voters, is taken into the corporate limits of Houston, will the political influence of these annexed voters preclude the possibility of colored citizens getting any appreciable consideration from the city hall—that is, as long as the phrase "white man's primary" is operated here in mayoral elections! Colored residential districts and colored citizens get very little, if any, consideration from the city hall now, and with Magnolia Park added to this municipality and its citizens making demands for certain civile improvements, does it require the prophetic vision of a seer to foresee just what the colored citizens of Houston can The Houston Informer expect or hope for along this and other lines from the city officials? This paper is not opposed to the annexation of Magnolia Park placed upon the possession is the primal law of nature, and as the admonition Bert Williams said: "Self-preservation is de faut law of him who gits it, and de Lor' helps dem who helps themselves." If the city of Houston, as presently constituted, can not even grade and keep in passable order the vast majority of the streets in colored residential sections, to say nothing of graveling the streets, should a strictly white suburb is added to the municipality? Why add more burdens and worries when the present ones are almost overwhelming our "city fathers," and thousands of citizens are daily being fed with excuses, alibis and promises from the city authorities. Magnolia Park has a waterworks system, gas system, school system, some improved streets, fire department, etc., but will these offset the added burdens its annexation will place upon the already-burdened shoulders of Houston. Magnolia Park IT PAYS FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS, DOES NOT CONSIDER IT FAIR THAT PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT VOTE FOR THE SELECTION OF SAID PUBLIC SERVANTS FOR POSITIONS OF PERFERMENT AND EMOLUMENT, SHOULD BE ASKED OR EXPECTED TO RAISE THE SALARIES OF SUCH PUBLIC OFFICIALS! FURTHERMORE, IF COLORED CITIZENS ARE EITHER TOO CROOKED OR IGNORANT TO VOTE IN AN ELECTION TO NOMINATE CITY OFFICIALS, WHEN DID THESE SAME CROOKED OR IGNORANT COLORED CITIZENS COME IN POSSESSION OF ENOUGH GRACE OR SENSE TO CAST AN INTELLIGENT BALLOT ON PROPOSITIONS OF SUCH FAR-REACHING AND VITAL IMPORTANCE? As to the municipal bond issues, the colored citizens of Houston can hope for practically nothing, for the past history of such bond propositions is replete with glaring instances where our people, even though they have supported and voted for such issues in the past, have been considered when the bond issues were spent for public improvements. Before casting a ballot in this special election on Saturday, October 16, the colored voters of Houston should carefully study these proposed issues as they relate to our people in particular for when voting for bond issues and charter changes, the voters always express themselves in town, will be something definite and tangible to themselves, as well as the community. THE FLORIDAN ATTITUDE TOWARDS NEGROES. News dispatches from Florida reveal the fact that force has been employed in some storm-stricken communities in the Everglade State to compel colored citizens to abandon their regular avenues of employment, and, at the points of bayonets, to help in reclaiming the damage done by the recent tropical disturbance in that state. It seems rather strange that colored Americans must always be the "boat" in such disasters, and that they have no constitutional rights nor guarantees that civil and military forces must respect in such a program of relief, rehabilitation and readjustment. Many years ago the Brazos river overflowed in Texas, causing much physical damage and suffering in the lowlands, and the cry for help was flashed to the outside world. With that sympathetic spirit to help the suffering in such a catastrophe, Texans of both races responded to the call for succor and sent the colored sufferers to the stricken section. Instead of giving the colored sufferers clothing and work, intended by the donors, those in charge of the relief work charged the colored citizens for all clothing and food given them, and then forced said colored citizens to "work it out" on the Brazos bottom farms. Giving from reports emanating from Florida, the tropical hurricane and tremendous damage done, both in physical property and human lives, had a hardening rather than a softening effect upon an alarming large number of whites in the communities where the storm wrought its worst destruction; which reminds us of the antics of Pharah when God sent the various plagues upon the Egyptians to bring about the freedom of the Israelites, and of the destruction of the city, where the law of retribution is immutable, inexorable and unchanging. Maybe some of these white Floridians believe that their treatment to the colored citizens of that state was largely responsible for the terrible storm, and this is their way of "paying back" for the damage. They are also in their way of the "leading and most prosperous cities and centers of the state!" However, if colored Americans have no rights in time of peace, plenty and prosperity that other races are bound to respect, and if the government will not accord protection to colored Americans, they will not be protected. At all times, it should not be surprising nor alarming when these same colored Americans are conscripted and inducted into involuntary servitude during such a crisis as faces the storm-striken sections of the Peninsula State. THE GESTICULATING ON "NULLIFICATION" AND "NULLIFIERS," SOME OF OUR RECURRENT DAY, ARDENT DIXIE SUPPORTERS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS AMENDMENTS, OUGHT TO BUSY THEMSELVES AND ORDERWE HOW FLORIDA AND OTHER SOUTHERN STATES "NULLIFY" THE CONSTITUTION WHENEVER THEY GET READY, PARTICULARLY WHERE THE RIGHTS OF COLORED AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED! This paper does not condone vagrancy, idleness, indolence nor loitering, but this paper is unalterable and irrevocably opposed to peonage and conscription of colored citizens as practiced in Florida and most of the Dixie commonwealth, either during peaceful or stormy periods. Of course, those smart and smooth Floridians will come out with a lengthy statement showing that no colored citizens were conscripted, and that the black men and women shot by the soldiers and sailors were looters or some other sort of criminals; and that the white men and women were vigilantes and idlers, and that even they were paid handsome wages for their labor, and such "bull-shewik" a la Dixie. If the colored race in America, and particularly the South, would wage a consistent and persistent fight for its inalienable and constitutional rights at every turn, the race would be subjected to less cruelties, injustices and inequalities, and the day would not be missed. If the black men were respected and fair play and a square deal accorded them just like other races and citizens in our polygot population. TEXAS CONFERENCE HELD SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING AT BISHOP Marshall, Texas, October 4—The Southern Athletic Conference, upon call of President H. J. Long, convened in seminal season Friday morning, to mediate the proceedings and mediate adjourned to await arrival of the Prairie View College and Sam Hunton College representatives. A full quota of delegates was present at the afternoon meeting: H. J. Long, President; secretary-treasurer; L. G. Purdy, coach; Ama MacHann, Bishop College; J. H. Law, P. V. College; V. A. Coach, W. S. Taylor, Sam Hunton College; Coach F. T. Taylor, Coach F. T. H. Mason, Wiley College. The optio n was expressed that such harmonious and profitable session of the conference had been achieved. The conference opposed a division of the conference as inadvisable and undesirable. Prairie View College was unanimously awarded Sam Haston College representatives requested the privilege of presenting the petition to the association, legislative association, President Davis, and faculty of that college, praying the petition with regard to charges against the college for violation of federal regulations. The petition among other things disavowed any rejection of the petition of the college, administration, athletic association, and faculty for irregular conduct of athletics during the past season as附请到 alleged violation of the college's rules and regulation conformity on part of Sam Haston College. the conference further ordered that its attitude with regard to recent opioid use be addressed. Johnson, formerly of Stam Huson, coach at Morris Brown College, be made public. Accusations were made that during the past week "Whirlwind" Johnson had visited several towns in the state and that locations; had established contacts with certain athletes in these schools in order to address the issue.

OPINIONS CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS BUSINESS MANAGER DISCUSSES BOARD'S BUILDING PROGRAM BUSINESS MANAGER DISCUSSES BOARD'S BUILDING PROGRAM A Houston, Texas, Oct. 1, 1926. Editor The Houston Informer: This is to acknowledge receipt of your marked copy of The Informer of date Saturday, October 2nd, and if you have any questions, please contact School Buildings for Colored People." As I explained to you a long time ago, it is our earnest desire to be fair to the students, such a large program as we have in our curriculum, must meet need. We have in mind with care, with care, come forward with the same as rapidly as was consistent with good business. In the course of our work, we proceed slowly with the purchasing of sites; other owners the owners of property, and the principal价ant price from the board of education. We have always taken the position of the principal价ant, be paid what his`property is worth, but no more. Therefore, for the property to be necessary to file condemnation proceedings. As a concrete example, we wanted $20,000 for his holding company, and $10,000 for property adopting a colored school to pay for his county court-attorney and property attorney. However, that you wrote the editorial, and I trust the colored peole of the city will realize that it is not the people who are good administrative builders for quite a long time that the frame shackets that have been used for these people should be used for modern, up-to-date, fire-proof buildings as rapidly as the same car I should like also to call your attention to the fact that we have recently Ryan Colored School on the Hardy Street Road, and that we are now a colored school in the Cottage Grove section. As soon as this deal is closed, we will be a colored school in building. It will, of course, not be a brick building it will be. It will be a canteen and up-to-date in particular. It will be the fire hazard, and will be modern and up-to-date in particular. It has been held in the school that has been a satisfactory. I believe if all the people will have patience until this program is finally completed, you will have a job. I will be a colored school that will be a colored school in the city. Thank you again for your editor, I am. Your truth. You trust. BFA. MLA. HLM-A. Business Manager.
