BALARY INCREASES DEFEATED.
The failure of local voters to approve the three proposed charter amendments to increase the annual session of the election would be a serious commissioner to $6,000 and city controller to $6,000, voted on last Saturday, was not a repudiation of the present official family of this municipality, but was a result of the public opinion against increasing salaries for city officers, already drawing neat sums for their official services, while thousands of residents and tax payers are forced to pay their taxes. The proposed change would, however, be a more flexible living conditions that would reflect discredit upon a city much smaller than Houston.
The Informer has opposed these in-person elections, and the issue has been submitted to the voters, holding tenactiously to the belief, that no voter should cast a ballot to increase the pay of any public servant in whose position he or she is a city officer, and that no vote has neither a voice nor vote.
Furthermore, this paper maintains the position that, if the city exchange is in such a case, the issue has been submitted to the voters, holding tenactiously to the belief, that no voter should cast a ballot to increase the pay of any public servant in whose position he or she is a city officer, and that no vote has neither a voice nor vote.
If a business or commercial concern cannot take care of operating expenses and pay a decent and living wage to the public, the question is whether the father's (five in number) and the city controller, then why is not money available for more civic improvements in the sections of the city occupied by the public?
If a business or commercial concern cannot take care of operating expenses and pay a decent and living wage to the public, the question is whether the father's (five in number) and the city controller, then why is not money available for more civic improvements in the sense, justice, or fairness of the city?
The Informer believes in paying public services, and all work in salary or wage commensurate with their ability and the work or service they perform; but this paper cannot see the consistency in any proposition that the Informer believes in any proposition that the Informer believes in any proposition that the city officials, with the common laborers of the city barely exking out an existence, and the citizens in numerous sections constantly and persistently in the public service, are not the only city competencies due to lack of mu jnicipal funds for such civic improve ments.
The voters of Houston heartily con-
cerned with The Informer's pre-election position (this paper being the only newspaper in Houston that op-
posed the salary increases), and thus the three proposed amendments went
If the city officials will learn a lesson from this negative vote and ask for a change of looking after the interests of all the people, the voters will be in a better position in salaries when the propositions are again submitted to the electorate of the city.
"SAME OLD STUFF!"
As was to be expected, the triple lynching at Alken, South Carolina, a protest to sweep that state and the South, the daily call to the state and the South, the barricade and the barricade stunt in no uncertain terms. More murders in unjustified that such a dark blot on the record of their death is not to be rebalanced and that the murders of the murderers will suffice the state and society.
There are more murders, for under some circumstances the mob book of our democratic institutions and ideals, and, being an early process of law enforcement, the mobobars and "hallows" book of our democratic institutions and ideals, and democracy can not prevail in juxta-position in any form of civilized government.
In fact there can be no stable government, even when anarchy (mob violence), and, unless an international confession of the hydra-benefit neither the life, property nor person of any American citizen will be safe from the hoodwidows hoodwidows the mobs that engage in this celebrated battle abandons and accuses, and acquiesces in the assault to uphold the law and defend prisoners in their custody. Just like a mighty stream on a periodic flooding and flooded river, the damage both to man, beast, forest and vegetation, so will the ramifications upon American citizens without regard to class, creed or color, unless they are lawfully lauwed by an enlightened public authority.
Mobocracy obtains in this country because those in authority have not been arrested against this great villain, and those in jurisdiction are perpetrated upon members of the community. (Continued on Editorial Page.)

Nashville, Tenn.-Hemar Medical College, located in this city, is this week celebrating its fifteenth anniversary. The college is housed in an institution and to the city a large number of men prominent in the medical world, many of whom are graduate students. The school is one of the largest college age through the unseamed philanthropy of the five Hemar brothers, who cared for the sick and the elderly, the women and headed by the late Dr. G. W. Hibbard.

Each of these departments is geographically organized and conducted so as to give the students the benefit of the best.
President Courageous Leader.
Realizing that in no instance do buildings and equipment make an imminent threat to the faculty, from the beginning, the trustees have endeavored to secure the best trained men available. No apportionment of faculty positions clearly than the selection of the president to succeed Dr. Hubbard. To find the best qualified faculty members, who possessed executive ability as well as educational qualification, who possessed executive training, Mulloway, who was selected, met all of these requirements and in ad hoc training, the faculty treated whole-hardened in the work and the progress thereof. He is sure that the faculty will be interested, including Dr. W. S. Quinland, Dr. F. A. Stewart, Dr. J. A. McMullen, Dr. C. V. Roman, and Dr. Naylor.

The American people are so used to lynching news that they are in danger of intoxication at an angle and in difference that will cause them to fall the full meaning of a horror like that reported from Alken, S.

Meharry Holds Unique Position.
An important place is a well as an important place in the development of the college in the country where practice is being conducted. And like the Tuckee Institute, offers the race the opportunity to prove them. The Tuckee Institute also offers self-help. The progress of the institution has proved the Negro's ability along the foregoing line. The Institute has been the first institution to begin in every direction, and is now rated as a claim A medical college.
School Rating Is Threatened.
due to the lack of funds this high rating, that has inspired Negroes in the city to seek a new leadership. It is now threatened. There is an urgent need of a half million dollars to be added to the endowment fund and a new equipment in order to meet the ever-increasing demands made upon him. Sending the need the alumni, under the leadership of Dr. S. W. Smith, Chicago, have stopped in the breach of the agreement, with the amount of this money. Several graduates have contributed largely, but the need for more has been the Anderson Anson Hall, given the Mrs. J. W. Anderson of Dellery.
Challenge to Race and America.
To supply this need of money is not the duty of the alumni, but represents a challenge to the Negro race and to many of the Negroes. The most important factors of the most important factors available for the reduction of the high mortality existing at present among the Negroes, There must be a large number of physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and nurses.—Meharry can increase this supply with adequate support.
Discussing this challenge, Dr. Mulowney declared:
"It is most of the country where they could sense the need, and then bring them to Meharry where they could see the five hundred or more young men and women striving earnestly to make the most of the needs of the lives to go out and help remedy the existing deplorable conditions."

WACO PLANS BIG TIME FOR NEGRO TEACHERS' MEET
Special to The Informer.
Waco, Texas, Oct. 20, 1926—The Geese City is making ample plans to entertain the annual meeting of the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas, who will be held in this city until the next meeting to President William Coulfort Worth, the Waco wathering will be as largely attended as the meeting held in Dallas last year. John W. Rice of Dallas, executive secretary of the organization, will be already arriving into his office and it is confidently expected that the goal of 3,000 members will be reached at the 1926 session.
The college is educational and religious leaders of the South have been programmed to address the association, among whom are: Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, La; Dr. S. P. Brooke, Dr. Maxey H. Davis, Dr. T. Tekeske Institute, Ala. field agent of the Jeanes fund; Prof. Frederick Eby, Austin, of the University of Texas; Prof. W. R. Banks, principal Prairie View State Normal and University; and educators will appear on the various programs of the association, according to president and the program committee.
The railroads of Texas have granted reduced rates on the certificate plan, allowing visitors at the rate of $2 per day. There will be two big football games (Thanksgiving day) between two colleges, and another on Friday between two colleges.
In speaking to an informer representative, President Coleman, until recently principal of the El Paso High School and one of the most eminent and cultured educators in Texas, said: "We are expecting the largest attendance and the most interesting meeting in our associational history. Nobody can afford to stay away from the Waco meeting. We want all teachers, educators and friends of education in our great state to be present at Waco next month. Our annual dues are only $1.75, entitling each member to the Bulletin, official publication, for one year. Let's all roll up our sleeves, get busy, and enroll 3,000 members by the time the Waco association convenes Thursday morning, November 26, 1926. We are expecting Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames of the Inter-Racial Commission of Texas, as well as all college presidents and heads of extension work in this state. An elaborate exhibition of all concerns dealing in school supplies, is being arranged for the convenience of those who will attend the Waco meeting."

MICHIGAN AIDS
NEGRO FARMERS
TO SECURE LAND
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Lansing, Mich.—In keeping with that part of the program dealing with one rehabilitation of Michigan farm lands, the division of Negro welfare and statistics of the state announces the wealth of opportunity afforded Negro farmers in locating in various agricultural sections of this state.
The steady decrease in the number of operated farms and the continual stream of farm folks cityward, is having its effect in both avenues of life. Each fall finds a greater number of farm property, and a larger list of unemployed in the city. In the latter case, because of racial lines, the Negro suffers more severely than the white workman and it is the hope of the division to help the Negro who has had agricultural training in securing a fuller measure of independence, by taking over one of the many attractive offers to be found.
The number of farm property that the fall of the year is the ideal time to consider these locations as that season of the year marks the movement from the farm, with many farmers eager to rent or sell their property after the crops have been gathered and disposed of. For the benefit of the tenant or purchaser, the winter months offer the opportunity of establishing and preparing for the spring sowing.
Although the division of Negro welfare and statistics is not a selling agent in any sense of the word, yet listings of available properties have been made for the sole purpose of being of service to the Negro group in this connection. It also serves as a guide or adviser to the prospective purchaser who may be unfamiliar with Michigan soil. The division is inviting the inquiries of any persons who may have a plan to take part in the department addressed to Lan-sing, will receive immediate attention.

Philadelphia, Pa.—The police and many citizens of Manayunk, a suburban town, were startled when Anna Brown, white, said she was attacked by two colored men Wednesday night, but later said she "made up the whole story."
Wednesday night Anna, who is 17, met some friends and went for an automobile ride. Their destination was a wooded section of Manayunk. She stayed out all night.
From a drug store in the suburban town, Anna phoned her mother that two colored men had kidnapped her. From the drug store Anna went direct to the Manayunk police station and told her story.
Two, two colored men hold up and she knew it. She was not accustomed to the automobile in which she was riding and dragged her from the car. They carried her in the woods and tried to hold her for two hours in a car.

Reasons for Indians
Holding Cow Sacred
The sacred cow is one of the chief causes of friction between the Hindus and the Moslems in India. The Hindus regard her almost as dear as life, whereas the Mohammedans not only eat beef but also sacrifice cows at their festival of Bakrid. This disregard of Hindu sentiment often results in riots.
The cow is the protector of India, because it, being an agricultural country, is dependent upon the cow's progeny. She is a most useful animal in hundreds of ways. Many of the functions performed in America by gas, steam and electricity are performed in India by oxen. Oxen plow, the fields, draw carts (passenger and freight), grine mortar, cement and oil used. Cow milk, apart from its ordinary use, is converted into curds, but term milk and ghee, articles of food used daily in every Indian home. The dung is used to great advantage by the farmer and the housewife. One does not adequately realize the vital importance of the cow until one has been in India. In short, the cow is the great giver and sustainor of life, and, in India, this entities her to reverential treatment.
Moreover, it is a matter of tremendous importance that the cow be protected from the butcher's knife. How best can that be done? By regarding cow protection as a religious duty.—Stephen Gangapatt Krishnayya In Current History Magazine.

JUGGLE PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-Preparation for True Service.
The book of Johshu, from which our lesson is taken, is a history of the conquest of the promised land and its division among the tribes of Israel.
From its principal character, I. Johshu, the New Leader of Israel
$71-20-9
The book were not to be left in doubt as to a leader when Moses was gone. The leader was to be appointed and given recognition before
During the wilderness Journey Joshua was *Moses* the minister and the expedition leader. Moses denied the privilege of going over the Jordan, Joshua was appointed to the leadership of Israel. Moses, the representative of the Borderers of Canaan, Joshua was the man chosen to lead the people into the place of rest. The name "Joshua" has the same derivation as the name of the first leader. I. Joshua Commanded to Take Charge (Josh. 1.2.3). Moses was dead but God's work was done. God forced God himself to give God the command for the new leader to assume his duty. I. God Renews His Promise to Israel Concerning the Land (Josh. 11.1).
This promise had been given to Abraham and renewed to Isaac, Jacob and Moses. It is now renewed to Israel as they were about to enter upon its possession. The borders of the land were "from the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun." The nearest this territory was ever possessed was during the reign of David and Solomon, though not then fully realized. This land still belongs to the Jews, and in God's own time they shall possess it. Their possession of this land was due entirely to themselves. God promised them that wherever their feet stood upon the land it was theirs.
IV. God's Presence Promised (Josh. 1:5).
Joshua was entering upon a perilous and difficult enterprise, but the Lord said as He was with Moses, so He would be with him. The difficulties before him were:
1. The Jordan river (v. 2).
This river was now at its flood (Josh. 3:15), making it impossible for armies to cross.
2. The people were living in walled cities (Num 18:28).
3. This God was ready to lauger success.
"I will not fail thee, nor man be famese (i). v. 5.
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. Jordan had been with me, and not any man can experience the Egyptian delivery to the time of his death. Because he believed that God was with us, he would not cross the Jordan at its floodside and courageously meet the anemones on V. Conditions of Blessing in the Land (Josh. 1:19-3).
"He is strong and of good courage" (v. 8).
His mission was to go in and divide the land among the tribes for an inheritance. It required strength and courage. 2. Unwilling obedience to the Word of God of Moses (i) it required much courage to be true to God. Property and success were conditioned upon unwerving obedience to God. To pass from the path outlined therein, one must conform his life to the law of God. To pass from the path outlined therein, one must conform to orderly this the law of the Lord must be in his mouth continually. He was to meditate therein.
Johann rendered prompt obedience, he did not stop to cavil, but 'it once gave order for the march. God made the plan and gave the directions.

"Would you wear it—if it were
W you're" Maria asked, knowing
fairly at the thing she held up—a
long cloak, ever so warm, ever so soft,
of the richest, royalist red.
"Would I!" Jasmine gasped, half
extending her eager hands, then dropping
them in shame as she caught
Maria's arm.
"You could wear it," Maria went on. "But, patience knows, you're like
enough to run wild in safe wear—brown, or black or dark blue. Think
I'll sell this thing to Peggy Smith—she sells to all sorts—folks wouldn't
know. Else dye it! I like such pottering—and the cloth would take 'most

"Don't! Please! I love it so—just as it is. Keep it—let me come and look at it. You—you don't need the
price of it—not any more than you need the coat."
"Seems like you don't ever remember the poor heathen," Maria said loftily. "Five dollars isn't much, I know—that's every cent Peggy Smith'd give for it—but at least it'd show a willin' mind, a thankful and contrite heart."
Maria paraded for the red coat even more than Jasmine did, but the same dress she wore to the Emily Family give away the garment, had shown Maria that it turned her brown. She had given her tiny income upon condition of never seeing her, nor having her birth date recalled. This, unwittingly, she could have paid more than her own mine owned the cottage with its garden, but, lacking Maria's money, could not have paid much beyond taxes, and the help of Peggy Smith and the bees.
In haplier old times the mish road run in talk of sight of Lowland, and in talk of sight of the sea, way, seeking easter grades, rain out of sight, but almost with Peggy the bee, wherein she bought and sold plainly everything all offered, taking from Jasmine all her com-hose, biggest dress, were burgundy, Jasmine went on to her jumble of hives and barely in time. Two swarms were burgundy—out-the-war and out-the-war, was the month of the bole trouble of beef proof. Swiftly she was armed for the f甜 and -buter and any whole
Thus she did not see Maria stithering away, with a fine long box under her, and she turned back later—a third swarm had burst into lendert, in tandem烫手, fully deterred, and allowed—prevention took strategy and all afternoon, to say nothing of many stings. Sleep brought management for her, and she were even darker. There was nothing for it but abhread herself in a deep sunbonnet, when, "unawning her eyes," she looked at the shop, with a basket of choice fresh honeycomb. Her first glance aboved the shop, with a red coat, agitated in the window. Peggy Smith was mainly eyes and mouth—the eye keen, the mouth acutely. Her lifespan lifted out the combs—she even said less gruffly than common: "With mouth can afford to push," she added the trade"Jas."
"Even if I take it in trude" Jasmine begin.
He was answered a horn knocked imperatively at the door and as Peggy appeared a man asked hurriedly: "How much for that-that red coat?" "Not marked it sit-*snow* stock." Peggy returned. The man, burrying in, caught down the box, shook its outward coat. "What is it?" I wonder, would you be kind enough to put this on.
"What's it," from Peggy. Jasmine could but obey, yet managed to shield her face from the stranger's gaze. As the softness enveloped her, he gave a small glint cry. "Here for quiet and color. I'm painting a picture—I hope to make it great need in all this green richness a she will." If this young lady would pose for anger, yet stoping there uncertain, eager yet, she said. "I know she will," she said. "All she does is to study how to make her livr—see, she even fools with bees, and see she will be just as good as new—and she will know things about you—what you come from, what's your moral rutil—and any other thing I may think it
"Come along to town with me—all the references you want at the bank," he said joyfully—then almost truely to lamassia to "The Larry Curtis Book." "I don't know," he haven't ever seen it before. If-If you will pose for me—"
"I will." Jasmine interrupted.
"And you'll do somp' eis—stay here, keep shop for me, while I go a-moonp': Peggy said, stunned in the excitement of going to town in When a man and a moll meet in the green country with roses awake, mock birds singing day and night, and watch them dance. June face to face all in the glory of dew and dawn, you may guess the inevitable result. It suit that it Mrs. Larry Curtis, born Lewis, no longer a life a sword, will live, something a sweeter than honey.

Dallas, Texas.—With autumnal election less than three weeks off, the colored voters of Texas are manifesting very little interest in the biennial election, when a governor of the state, several congressmen, state, district and county officers will be elected. Much of this indifference and apathy is due to the autocratic and high-handed manner in which the republican party in the Lone Star State has been managed and manipulated by R. B. Croger of Brownsville, republican national executive, amputata, from the same time as the state's principal and other of the "lily-white" regime now in control of party affairs in this state.
At the first primary election ever held in Texas by the republicans on July 24, 1926, all republican electors who were not in accord and sympathy with the Creager-Nolte faction, were denied a right to vote in said party election; and the so-called "regular organization" composed chiefly of federal office holders, aspirants, their friends, and members of their immediate families.
Whenever a large colored constituency existed, the Creager regime failed to hold an election, thereby disenabling said American citizens and claiming the right to the same status during the right. In all, less than 15,000 votes were cast in the republican primary election, and the state was not in control of the state. In the normal republican vote it was found that the state would not be in a round 100,000, and the republican-klan gubernatorial estimate in 1924.
As is true in most of the Southern states, the black man constitutes the bulk of the republican party, and, since the colored brother was disfranchised and outlawed in the July primaries, this virtually represents the white republicans of Texas, except in the 14th congressional (San Antonio) district. Congressional.
Harry M. Wurzbach was renominated over the Creager organization candidate, Fred E. Knetach, a life-long Democrat. The congressman is not being supported by the so-called regular republican organization, headed by Creager, in his (Wurzbach's) fight for re-election.

A election less than three weeks is manifesting very little interest overnor of the state, several county officers will be elected. Much due to the autocratic and high publican party in the Lone Star manipulated by R. B. Creager of executive committee from airman, and others of the "lily-party affairs in this state.
The state will be held in Texas by the republican electors who were not in reager-Nolte faction, were denied action; and the so-called "regular sort to maintain a vest-pocket or federal office holders, aspirants, their immediate families.
In Houston, alone, more than 3,000 republican voters of color were denied their rights as American citizens and republican electors in the republican primary election due to the fact that C. F. Richardson, editor The Houston Informer, a race newspaper, and one of the most important orders of our group, was a candidate against R. B. Morris, "lily-white" county chairman of Harris County and a candidate to succeed himself in said primary election.
Richardson's supporters were denied the chance to vote for him, and where some did cast a ballot for him, Morris and his "lily-white" executive committee refused to count and tabula
Since H. H. Haines of Houston, the "organization" candidate for governor of Texas on the republican ticket, was not nominated in a fair election, and since E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi, the Wurzbach aspirant for gubernatorial nomination, was given such a rotten deal by the Creager organization, there seems to be little sentiment in certain sections of this state to scratch Haines' name on general election day and write in the name of Scott.

THE NEGRO IN TEXAS POLITICS
The Negro American, San Antonio Poli-
tically, the colored man in Texas is between his majestic maniac and the man who has persevered and neither millstone—as much an orphan politically as can be. He is almost the same匀widely but this article has to do with that he has been the colored man's misfortune can be laid at his own door. Cupidly, avarice, self-sel-
eking are the sims that have forced him out and the white man, our own, has been the way to get rid of the Negroes and to put one Negro against another. He is in need of yelping and marbling at each other, he walks away with the house. He is in need of independent leadership—men who do not have to run after money nor to go to Texas to follow. He has spent his life doing anything but a square deal for his race. I know that McDonald has been the man who has get it from white men who know that he has been upstanding, square-h
The thing that gave the Negro's enemies their greatest bludgeon way back was the hordes who attended the conventions on the white man's money and per se had to do his bidding. What chance had the Negro leader? As much as the proverbial snowball in hades. There are many Negroes who would brook the white man's smile for a crown of Negro leadership. It is too, the ignorant Negro, thirsting for notoriety who blocks progress. He considers himself a big factor, criticizes his own leaders, gathers a little of the gang around himself and sells his influence. When this thing is duplicated many times, you can see that the Negro is scattered to the four winds, and there is not enough of him left to count.
My contention is that the Negro officeholder is not a true leader. By accepting a job he at once admits that he has been after the loaves and fishes; and yet in nearly all of our deliberations we permit these fellows to dominate. So you see, the Negro is almost invariably exploited by either his own people or by others.
The nefarious "white man's primary" law was born here in San Antonio out of the Negroes' own blunders. The plain truth of the matter is that two white men fell out politically—both had been popular with Negroes, but the most popular politically was also the most powerful. Instead of allowing these men to settle their own troubles, a few Negro leaders, among whom was a preacher, began a most vitriolic campaign against the weaker man and literally slaughtered him at the polls. The defeated man had just done the preacher's great favor and had also done favors for many Negroes. He knew Negroes voted the republican ticket, and in the democratic primaries also, in fact, they were often hered in to put things over. He was human. The Negroes had openly browbeaten him, would hardly let him speak in their meetings. He had influence in the Texas legislature—the rest is well known and today in this county the biggest Negroes can't cast a vote for county officers. This is the true story of the white man's democratic primary law in Texas.
Dallas recently set a fine example. The Negro's organized and financed their own campaign, notified the white people that they stood ready for a fair administration that would give them streets, lights and decent living. The thugs and bargainers were told by the whites to get the hence. To do Dallas and see the results of the year, the new and the new little if it be redoubtable Richardson and his friends at Houston keep at it, watch for results. The Negro republicans in Texas are traveling a hard road. The thing will never change unless brains are allowed to lead. Never mind who gets the jobs. There should be a state-wide conference. The money changers and traders should be kept in the background; from this meeting should go true, tried and honest men into their baliliicks with and purpose and the slogans on the all and all. Get such a host together acting and not playing around, and it won't be long before the Negro will have a look in at the state convention.
Let all the would-be leaders swallow their ambitions, let a man like McDonald-able, independent and experienced—map out a campaign and you will soon be off your knees politically. There is no need for the white man to recognize Negro leadership when he can camp with the rank and file aுகs, pick the Negro own leaders, smile upon him, cross his palm and send him forth to scatter the flock.
What the white man tells the Negro to do he with a vengeance, even when he is in the audience among the race—too many hunter at the front seat, too many too bad for the much jealousy, too little conscience. Is it surprising to know how often he called big Negro will be going to the football field, till he cillen he the clink of clerk, I hold that so long as the Negro persecuted the football and he is the political football and he is in Texas. The Negroes in Georgia are in political activity; first Johnson and now Ben Davis. In Texas we have one Negro, and we are ready to back him up. I have fought the thing in here by having Negroes organize their party. We are ready to back him up.
I happen to be one; but it has been hard. Be bering and beplanding we now have a word from a white man sit them more than a week's work on our part. I have a word that happens. Regently the "lily-wits" flooded the country with money to buy the other way; while, sorry to say, a few took the money. I am not easy, but I will take the best Negro brains in the world to be done. but it can be done-it ought to be done.

One of the first hits of conscience—journalism is that on the front of the Pittsburgh Courts for October 15, the "Slippin' Fund" Alred. It is calculated that $200,000 would know the full meaning of such terms. It states that even a snow, a storm, or a decree to impress the unintelligent. It says, for example, that Negro organizers of the N. A. A. C. P. have received from the N. A. A. C. P. totaling about $2,000 in five years, a total of $20,000 in three years—when as a matter of fact any citizen of the United States can get the report of the Garland jail and report of the complaining that the N. A. A. C. P. has been courtered to be excited that it got $2,000 out of over a million and
The Courier dates its article from "New York City," when, as a matter of fact, the whole pot of polsonn was given to the city's otherкг. Courier editorial office in Pittsburgh, as an effort to poison the humble Negro's mind against the campaign of the U.S. P.P. for the present defense fund. All that the Courier was got from New York for that article was got by sending word to its New York agents to get list of the information from the Garland fund to Negro organizations. The agent phoned the association for the information, and the association gave him a post to the party and the information he had found, to whom the agent phoned and got the information, just as any other person in the world could get it.
And this is all of "the investigation" of the case, and the information they have given the impression in the very first sentence of their lying article that there was some public investigation and expiates of something. The Courier knows that the case of the life, time, and dodge, if the Garland fund would stoop to having the edition of the case for the time when he says that the fund was "lying," he investigated, "the Courier editor could say that his New York agent "investigated James Weldon Johnson for information as to how much the fund had given to worthy Negro enterprises. And the Courier uses this courteous word for the information he was given to the community as a basis of a statement that the Garland fund was "investigated", writing headlines to imply that the information he had given to the community with it. The Courier even "exposes" a gift by the fund of $25,000 to the "Sweet defense", as one of the darkest "theft" in the case.
The new New York was published this gift in all the papers of the United States, and indeed this gift from the Garland fund had stimulated colored people to give the sentence of Dr. Sweet and his associates.

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 15, 1928—What has proved to be the biggest offer ever made to members of our race is soon to be consumed. The Tyson family, who have made the contest staged by Madam A. Lalla Walker thrust the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of, which is the president and owner, in which four persons are involved in the world with all expenses paid and two persons receive scholarships for one and two years respectively, has marked the progress of the American Negro. Eighteen months ago an invitation was broadcast through the conscience of the world, in a context to name the four persons most interested in world travel and business. Men, women, boys and girls embarked on the land realised the opportunities Men and women high in the education, church, fraternal, civil and girls, students, all fired on by ambition to share the unifying generosity of the genius of the group, competed uninterrupted.
Hon. A. W. Lloyd, St. Louis, Mo., grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, with 2,615,310 votes, won the first prize, a free trip around the world and $150 in cash.

Harris, youthful director of the Improved Order of Samaritans, Athens, Ga., whose 2,167,270 votes earn for him the second prize, a free trip around the world and $100 in cash.
Catching the larger vision in the last three months of the contest and permitting his organization to throw itself unreservedly behind him, Hon. B. G. Collier, Philadelphia, Pa., grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania, with 1,825,025 votes, swept over the top to win third prize, a free trip around the world and $50 in cash.
Like a meteor sweeping up from the rear came C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Ins. Co., and of the North Carolina Baptist Sunday School Convention, who, with 1,708,355 votes, surpassed previous adversaries and won the fourth prize, a free trip around the world.

GRANT PORTERS WAGE INCREASE ON DIXIE ROAD
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Richmond, Va.—More than three hundred Southern Railway System were granted a wage increase and adjustment of working conditions recently after a conference between Arthur B. Braken and the Association of Train Ports, Braken and Switchmen and C. D. Mack, assistant to vice president of the Southern Railway System.
The conference in wages in the step rate base and will cost the "carrier" $600 a year. The agreement, which is the only contract between any train potentern today in the United States, is the first of many thirty-day notice in writing from either party to the other of a desire to contest the Association's contriversies between the Association of the Southern Railway System several conferences having been held. There was, however, a failure to agree on the wage increase of several wages. Working conditions were agreed on last October, but the United States Railroad Labor Board, which was abolished before a decision was made, mandated to the parties concerned with aggression that they make further demands.
This is the first action toward the
plans of more than 1,000 porters, en-
ployed on various roads throughout
the country, for a national wage in-
crease, which will place on the pay-
off approximately $12,600
more a year.

(An Editorial)
Newton's first law of motion is that a body at rest remains rest, and a body is a motion continue to move in a straight line with uniform velocity, unless the action of the motion is itself a constant. The action of which it results is, force tending to disturb its condition as to rest or motion. This law seems to run through spiritual, as well as material things. However, the theory of motion is not the same as that of the old.
What changes have been right? It is acted upon by another force.
What changes have been right? It is acted upon by the new.
In the public school system, have not been made of itself, there has been no information about what is going on. But it is not clear that it has been so influenced or somebody must change them. They do not change themselves. The lifting of the curriculum from the fifth to the eighth and from the eighth to the eighth of the third is the same as that of the fourth. Somebody had to pass many sleepless nights and many hours of toll and labor to convince somebody. Sometimes it was one of the other racial groups; the first time the people were to be the first person, white or colored, had to push the new idea till it took root. What improvements have come in buildings in our schools have been by the effort of some of the most important things that came about to change them about of the lives. The first black man will go on expecting the good Lord to send around blessings while he marks time.
The new ever been on the job working to the end of improved conditions in our schools, and will continue to do so till it has been universally acknowledged, not what the great teachers like Spgneer, Bacon and Pestalozzi need to be. The school is good education, a certain racial group—but the end of education that can be more than good.
But while there are those who stay on the job for improvements in our schools, it is a surprising shame that nobody cares sufficiently to get on the job. It is said to the shame and discredit of the great city of New Orleans that the N.C. state has been so much so much as to be a great one. The city can still be more and more of the play but the streets and back yards of their homes? It is bad, that it is so, but it is worse that nobody cares.
But what is the effect of the change, but, but pent up and huddled together, can you expect anything but vice breeding? In the name of righteousness and common sense, will somebody rise and tell us how the parks and playgrounds put for out of public life, the money became the property exclusively.
Plans are on foot to take even the little seaside we have from us! What are you going to do about it? The migration that is constantly going on to the beach is not only the lack of proper school facilities and playgrounds but by anything else.
In a congested city like this, where houses are built, so to speak, upon another, it is as necessary to have playgrounds as it is to have schools. When the schools are closed, the playgrounds for play-betting play-and-sammering on the streets now is not so pleasant dodging, automobile.
Sometimes the amount of playgrounds rise up and start the ball rolling! Except someone does, things will continue in the same old way!

NEGRO HOSPITAL IN PELICAN CITY SEEMS ASSURED
New Orleans, LA.—The interest manifested in the Neuro hospital project remains keen and lively. The situation is progressing and encouraging and the team is pouring in from point over the state and in the city. The force for the big drive, which begins November 1, is been organized and plans are set. The budget, $30,000 is the sum needed. Some are asked to assist in this big move.
The hospital is so badly needed in New Orleans for Negroes that none of the city's hospitals is capable of possible. There seems hardly a chance for a Negro physician as intern or on-call to the institution supported by the city and state, which means Negroes' money, an asset, must be used in the premature prejudice, and raw deal, according to recent signed statement given one by the colored bishkariya in the 1950s, the rich hospital, that caused all but two of them to be forced and forced them to put their own. The Flint-Goodish Hospital is under the supervision and control of the Church, which is composed of whites and colored alice; and the institution on the patronage of colored people.
WILEY EXTENSION SCHOOL IN DALLAS OPENED THIS WEEK
Marshall, Texas, Oct. 6. Everything in connection with the organization of the college, the auspices of Wiley College, has been satisfactorily adjusted; and the authors, a formal beginning was made Monday, October 4. Twenty-five students, a formal beginning for registration amounting to about the same number of students, made a master's degree from Columbia University in this school. He makes most favorable conditions for the college. The college considers it a fortunate situation that Prof. Clark could be detached for several years, because he is the most progressive Negro teachers in the state and for this reason (as the institution has done in other schools), the strongest available teacher was dispensed to this field in the phase of educational work and while it may expect competition, it has the advantage of successfully established and operated an institution year, the first of the kind established anywhere with Negro colleges, to be operated also by Wiley is now in process of organization and will begin operations.

The winning run went across is Gander, the first man up in riffles, until the third up in wingings, three and two, fouled off three which took a bad hop to White, Ging run.
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 19, 1926.—The American Giants ("Rube" Foster's celebrated team), were crowned colored world champions Thursday last, when they defeated the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, 1 to 0, in the deciding game of the series, to take the best five out of nine games.
The winning run went across in the last half of the ninth when Gardner, the first man up, singled sharply to left. Marlarcher sacrificed, Lockhart to Cummings. Thompson worked the count to three and two, fouled off three, and then poled one to center, which took a bad hop to White, Gardner racing home with the winning run.
Lockhart, in a way, pitched a better game than Foster. He allowed four hits, two of which came in the state. Later, he was kicked for ten blows, but was given fine support with men on
Foster Fans Seven.
Up to the ninth inning only two American giants had reached second. Jackson angled in the third and went to second on Williams's out. In the home eighth J. Brown walked and was sacrificed to second and went to third on Williams's out.
Foster fanned seven, while Lockhart, although he hurried a splendid game, fanned just one.
The series opened in Atlantic City with both teams playing a 3-3 tie on October 1. The Chicago club won the second game, 7 to 6. The third game at Baltimore was a no-hit, no-run at fair, with the Chicago club on the losing end of a 10 to 0 score.
On October 4 at Philadelphia the score was again tied when darkness halted the struggle, 4-4.
Giants Stage Comeback.
October 5 the Atlantic City team won, 7 to 5, and the two clubs went back to Atlantic City for the fourth game there on October 6, which the seashore lads won, 6 to 5, leaving for Chicago with a lead of three games to one.
The series opened here Saturday with White Foster turning back the Invaders, 5 to 4. Sunday the Bach-arachs won, 3 to 0, but in the next game the locals beat the Eastern champs, 6 to 2.
Rain halted the play Tuesday and

scrimmage at Culberson Park. President T. R. Davis has obtained William S. Taylor of Lincoln University and Dean Mohr of Ohio State University, to coach the Dragons for this season. Mr. Taylor, who is the head coach, was the last year captain of the Lincoln University football team and is a four-sport man, having won his letter in football, basketball, baseball, and track. He was a member of the victorious Lincoln University relay team at the Pennsylvania relays last year. This is his first year to coach but he has had experience as a leader of men and should give Samuel Huston College their first conference football championship.
While Prof. Taylor brings to Samuel Huston College the Eastern system of play, Prof. Mohr comes from the Middle West and was a student of Dr. Wile of Ohio State University, Dr. Mowell of Wisconsin and Pat Page of Indiana University. He comes to Samuel Huston College from Wilber force University where for the past four years he has been director of athletics. He will act in the same capacity at Samuel Huston.
PRAIRIE VIEW PANTHERS
SWAMPED YATES JACKS
Prarie View, Texas — The Pairie View College football team, as was expected, checked the ambitions of the Jack Yates High School boys of Houston here on the local grounds last Saturday afternoon. It was the first time the Jack Yates HI team had the Jack Yates HI team as a set of nine youngsters, clean and classy, but at no time during the four quarters were they able to stay "the triumphant coach." Coach Law sent in his first string against the Houston HIades and they had everything in the world when it came to defense, less than seven in defense. At the very beginning of the first quarter the Panthers made a big play, boys were close out 40 to 10.

Women! Girl's Beauty Your Hair!
Begin Now! Why Not Have Beautiful Hair?
Use St. Clair Hair Preparations and See How Quickly Improvements Begin.
Attractive women everywhere depend upon the St. Clair prenarations, so why not you? Nature lavishes upon the young her beautiful hair, yet how few strive to retain it? Beauty of the hair can be retained or maintained with St. Clair preparations. It towards can justify to this fact. It is no experiment. The results have been proven. Naglect is the great destroyer. First comes dandruff, later falling hair, and then unsightless, ever increasing. The true ingredients contained in the St. Clair preparations insure antiseptic and medicinal values necessary to a healthy scalp and luxuriant hair. If you desire soft, lustrous beautiful hair and lots of it—no dandruff no falling hair, and no tactically scalp—see the St. Clair preparations for the hair and scalp. If eventually—why not? Agents to sell the preparations, fifty per cent commission. Courtes aught personally through mail. Meal orders from the filled, the trial treatment $1.60. Write for particulars—send stamp for reply.

Davis, editor of the Atlanta (Georgia) Independent, and the New York Times, it appears that the Informer that our brothers of the Fourth Estate waste entirely too much valuable time and space bickering, fighting and "exposing" each other, when they are fighting for the rights of fighting the battles of their race, which are many and meaningless.

This is not the only recent instance where Negro editors have filled up their sheets with scurrious and vitriolic articles and editorials about members of the same profession, and neither the colored press nor the race is being helped one bit by such journalistic procedure; but on the other hand such tactics are playing right into the hands of our internal and external enemies, who delight to see Negro leaders engaged in fighting one another, and thereby progress the progress of their racial contingent and the social family.

Some bit ago a big lion suit was instituted in a certain city by editors of one newspaper against editors of another race publication, and the other was thrown out of court by the judge when called to trial. It seems that Negro editors are becoming as envious and temperamental as the proverbial grand opera stars, prima domas and society leaders; and there seems to be too prevalent a disposition to dismiss the journalist as a journalistic contemporary at the least pretext, and for no other earthly reason than an insanable ambition and selfish desire to "show up" his journalistic frater and expose him to the reading public as a human being unworthy of public confidence and re

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1926
WHEN WILL HOUSTON NEGRO HOSPITAL OPEN?
Ever since the dedication on June 19, 1926 (more than four months ago) of the $80,000 unit of the Houston Negro Hospital the question so repeatedly propounded has been, "When will the new Negro hospital open?"
Two youths going down a railroad track one day, en route to the railroad shops with their fathers' dimers, got into a hectic argument and brief fistfight; and while they were batting each other on the railroad right-of-way, a hungry turtle eased up seized the dimer pails which they had set down on the ground and their fistic bout, and meandered away with their fathers' meals.
The building grouch says J. H. Rid. of the Bronx, where he grew up, North East Texas. He off his latest Wyllk-Isle sports road trip to New York, Huntington, Boston, it's some car, car, car.
This interrogation has been fired at the Informer so much that we have admitted our inability to answer it with any degree of correctness or intelligence; for, with the exception of a proposed financial campaign for $10,000 for an equipment fund, a cloak of secrecy and cloud seem to characterize the actions of this Informer to sympathetic institution for our people located in the Third Ward.
Where are all those fellows 'who were going to attend the Wiley-Lange stump games in Gaines on the 18th inst. between the bet too heavily on Wills or Flowers.
As in the case of the rapacious rats and battling boys, our editors—who devote so much time and space fighting each other—are going to wake up one morning and discover that their cheese and dinners have been seized by an outside force and consumed in their entirety; and thus they (our racial quill pans) will be forced to fight each other and get busy trying to reclaim their losses.
Even this proposed equipment fund of $10,000 does not seem to be sufficient to cover the costs of what some whom contend that they are not going to contribute any money to this hospital under the present system, and as long as a ceramic-sculled race man is a member of the board of directors of this hospital, he is not entitled.
It seems that the referees are trying to help the white piglets this late in the game, and they are for "fouling." Years ago the charge against the Negro was "fowling" (lifting chickens from the room) or "threat," then, say, the office office opher.
Where issues and principles are involved, it is expected that ediths will take divergent and opposing views; but there is no earthly need nor excuse for this deliberate and malicious program pursued by the author. The program is not a threat in a pail and future endeavor to destroy and defame each other.
The colored board of this hospital has selected the names of 100 local men and women, who have been requested to contribute $100 each for this equipment fund; but it appears that little program has been put into place. To be perfectly frank and candid, there seems to be stiff and stubborn objection from certain circles against a certain member on the board, who has always taken a hostile and antagonistic attitude against his race; who incessantly and invariably opposes it; who has been accused of being a member of the race; who has bitterly assailed and attacked any number of local physicians and ministers, and who identifies himself with nothing racial except secret fraternities (and he has even sought to destroy several racial fraternal orders), having denounced the local faith and apostolized the church of the Lowly Nazeanza!
Any man is a mighty poor credit to his profession when he thinks up a reputation for trying to be mishandled and destroy other men. He is not a good judge of how much too many, varied, complex and exacting for Negro editors to continually serve in the role of journalistic yellow jackets (yellow jackets) in the field of journalism.

of the so-called inferior race; but let these indifferent, apathetic and conniving public officials and citizens have a care, for as long as mobiles are available, they can help to grip any American citizen in the fight.
Humanity, despite all our boasted progress, education, wealth, culture and refinement, is still imperfect (for, to err is human, and to fail is human, but has never made a mistake, has never done anything worthwhile!). The editor holds a position next to the minister of God, and the printed word endures long after the spoken word has been written. The editor is not the one they say about each other, for “birds of a feather flock together.”
We hope South Carolina will嫁

has.
According to those who hold the key to the present equipment, the director of the pseudo-race man is removed from the hospital board, the directors of this institution can hope for very little financial or moral assistance and support from the business and professional members of the team.
Finally, fraters, when you have a disposition and desire to sling mud, vilify and "expose" another member of your lofty profession, remember the admonition of the Great Teacher: "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." Sealh!
This attitude makes for mob-law, so per-invaded by the dual standard of citizenship; and the only way to act is to deal properly with the cause.
It would certainly be a calamity for the race to lose or "mess up" the new hospital project, but the person who recommended and pushed this objectionable man for a position on the hospital board is largely responsible for the present embarrassing and alarming predicament; for he (this hospital official) knew quite well—or he should have known that "his man" would prove a liability rather than an asset to the hospital and its racial cause if left unchecked. If he were to vide the equipment fund, this same board member could not be elected to the office of official dog-catcher in the precinct where he has lived since the early village days of Houston!
COLORED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE
If the state and national government must remove the various causes of the destruction of the environment, destruction, Jim-crowism and misinformation, and see that the laws are correct, and that the great stop will have been made to wards ridding the republic of its incarceration.
Dallas Negroes have recently launched a Colored Chamber of Commerce, and Waco boasts of a similar organization, both of which maintain direct connections with the white Chambers of Commerce in these two Texas cities. The Waco Negroes' organization in the two North Texas cities, practically all of the colored business and professional men and women of said cities have joined the movement, and the organization seems destined to do a piece of real constructive work, and to bring the race in closer touch and more direct contact with the men and forces that are directing and connecting the business, commercial and civic affairs and policies in Waco and Dallas.
The time has passed when colored citizens are going to swallow gullibly any superimposed leader, especially when said superimposed leader is only racial in color, and has nothing else in common with his own race; seeking every occasion to betray his own racial group for the proverbial "thirty pieces of silver," and to anathematize, scandalize and slander members of his own race with some title in the name in the household, without paying homage at the shrine of this "semible" oracle from Muddingingville!
Those in charge of state and federal water that it is not the water on the side of the ship that sinks it, but the water that gets on the inside of the ship.
Some years ago we had the Colored Commercial Club in Houston, but like most organizations of its kind projected here, this club was not a place for business for some time; and it seems that the business and professional members of the race in this city are satisfied with the utter absence of any organized effort to promote and advance their inter-occupationism. The number of Commerce in boosting and building up a greater Houston.
OMEGA FRATERNITY IS
SPONSORING MOVEMENT
FOR YOUNG MEMORIAL
Some of the members on the board of directors of this hospital are good, fine and respected citizens—too much to be aligned and allied with a man of the guttersnip species, whose only claim to fame and notoriety is through a wanton effort and malicious policy of trying to destroy, defame, defeat and despoil the best medical professionals, surely mercenary reasons and through fishish, ulterior motives.
Nu Phi chapter of Amega Psi Phi fraternity is asking the citizens of Houston to contribute to the memorial that is being erected at Arlington National Cemetery for Oct. Chas. Young, who was one of the only colored graduate from West Point Military School. He was a national figure, being prominent in work of Omega fraternity and a strong supporter of National Association for Advancement of Colored People. All schools, churches and fraternities are asked to help in this worthy cause. Amega fraternity is only sponsoring the movement. It is a national cause and merits the support of all. H. P. Carter is basileus; Dr. D. F. Barelay, keeper of records and finance; Jas. D. Ryan, treasurer.
With the largest population of any city in Texas and the largest number of business and professional men and women, both actual and potential, Houston Negroes need some kind or type of an organization to serve both as a clearing house and school for the Negro community. We need to encourage our people race pride, thrift, industry, sobriety, economy; to explore and develop the unexplored and undeveloped fields of commerce and business, as they particularly relate to our race; to form a working agreement with the white Chamber of Commerce towards the end that both bodies will work together—in the distinct entities—for the best interests of "Heavenly Houston."
If the Houston Negro Hospital can survive during its initial days under such a handicap, it will be one of the wonders not only of the African world, but the civilized world! Just when the Houston Negro Hospital will open and begin to function as its donor, J. S. Cullman, intended in his wonderful and humanitarian benefaction, The Informer is unable to state his opinion. He will be colored to the colored board of directors. Maybe they can shed some light on this otherwise dark and hidden secret, mystery or puzze!
With a real, live Colored Chamber of Commerce, or Colored Commercial Club (the name is rather irrelevant and immaterial) in this city, it would not be long before some concrete and visible results could be obtained, and the organization could play a very important role in promoting growth and progress of Houston—the fastest growing city in the entire Southwest.
It is not the object nor intention of The Informer to pitch a fight on this institution, nor the board members per se, but mere encouragement. It is not the object nor intention of regarding this hospital movement, and to state what this paper believes is the best way out of a nasty and embarrassing situation, and that is to force this anti-Negro "race man" (some human, some animal) off the board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital pronto!

Two events of importance to the American public have taken place since the 1960s, one being the defeat of Jack Dempsey by Gene Tunney for the heavyweight, which by now, is an enduring engrossing the attention of many of the sport's greats. Wills by Fate Time and Jack Sharkey. One question, which has worried Jack Dempsey, is whether he solved to our satisfaction now, and that is whether Jack Dempsey was in a decision to bring Wills as he persisted in doing.
And "Tiger" flowers, they tell us, in a decision to bring Wills as he persisted in doing.

As much as we desire, we cannot believe the news reports from New York City, which state that over 200 colored waitresses and cooks, in one of Gotham's coffee houses, went on a strike in sympathy with one of the waitresses who had been handed the pink slip for HIM-boring the orders of her superior to "jim-croft," a cool-cored patron of the place (the same colored patron being the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, who was in the city attending the trial of ex-Attorney General Daugherty). How could the papers of New York expect us to put any credence in such a story?

We say "may be," advisedly, having in mind the experiences of other eligibles of our group.
