Lynchings Again On The Increase In America! --- HOME EDITION FT. WORTHS "BLACK" ROBBER. News dispatches of last Sunday told of the arrest of a "black" robber in Fort Worth, who held up a citizen and separated his victim from his coin of the black coin. It seems that when the "black" his facker was arrested and carried to prison, his color began to change or fade; and the "black" soon lost his blackness and whiteness began to creep out in spots over the highway's farmland. The "black" was a "black-looking, resting officer and the victim—for—the crime had been laid at the door of a "black criminal." After all, all criminals are black, whether under white skins or black skins; for crime is black, low, debaring, and unguarded. It seems that fate has been unkind to and with the Negro, in that she has given him a facial color that can be so easily imitated; and, consequently, many crimes committed by "black" criminals are in reality perpetrated by blackness. Many innocent Negroes have been arrested, indicted, convicted, and lynched for crimes done by "black" criminals who were not members of the black race, but who were smooth and ingenious enough to turn "black" criminals into black men. Because and have same placed upon some Negro as a escape-goat. Because of this constant practice in the South, particularly, judges and juries should be extremely careful to weigh all evidence in such cases, and give full play to the role of men in every benefit of doubt allowed under the law; while mobs and peace officers should always permit alleged criminals to be tried by orderly processes of court. COLLEGATE PROFESSIONALISM. The 1926 football season among the colored colleges of Texas is hardly under way, yet charges of "professionals" are being hurled in certain sections, and the cry is being raised that players who are not regular at-the-play, who are being used on the-riffin, elixir. We do not know whether this is an alibi or truthful charge, but prosecutes it on the basis of amateur sports, and we hope that no school coach, president or the concessionary move on the part of my school in this Texas institution, it appears to the Informer that the colleges comprise this conference, should have been involved in the player might be eligible to be a member of the variety team, either in foot or basketball, and the athletic conference already has such a regulation, it should be enforced; for after any athlete engages in a certain line of athletics for four years, the rest of the conference the realm of the professional, whether he plays for pay or not, will be wrecked the conference last spring, when one school imported an aggregation of prosecutions played them as the school's entry in the conference games. By all means, the Texas colleges, and the officials of the conference must see to it that it FREE THEATRE TICKETS THE HOUSTON INFORMER (From the New York Times, Sunday, October 17, 1926). Three Negroes, one a woman, were taken from jail at Alken, S. C., on October 8 and lynched. The same eight a Negro was taken from jail at Alken, S. C., on October 8 and lynched. The same eight a Negro was taken from jail at Alken, S. C., on October 8 and lynched. Six more within the first ten months of 1926 than occurred in the full twelve months of 1925. In the last thirty-six years, according to data gathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, there have been 3,853 lynchings in the United States, of which the majority of those who were charged, truly or not, with "the usual crime," is less than 20 per cent. Since 1888 a total of ninety women have been lynchings in all states of the Union except seven. From the statistics it appears that of the persons lynched between 1889 and 1918, 2,522 were Negroes and 702 were whites—the percentage being 78.2 to 21.8. The largest number of lynchings, 2,834, were committed in the South. In the North there were 819, the West 156 and in Alaska and unknown localities. Law's Delay Not Involved. It is true that in the period 1921 number of such crimes. In 1921, 64 p. 39, 1924, 16, 1925, 16. But, as a police record a larger number of lynchings by 1924.

In 1921, 64 persons were lynched; in 1922, 61; 29, 1924; 16; 1925; 16. But, as a pointed out, the first ten months of 1928 records a larger number of lynchings than the entire year of 1925. The number of lynchings in the county was impatient of the law's delays. But the recent mob lynchness at Alken, S. C., and at Dover, Tennessee does not substantiate this assertion. For in both cases the law, with due diligence had been put into operation. The mobs in defiance of the courts murdered the prisoners. In the South Carolina case the court had dismissed the case against one of the three defendants. An attorney of Alken describes the crime that led to the lynching as follows: "Sheriff H. H. Howard of Alken County, S. C., for whose killing the three nerges were on trial, went in April, 1925, with three deputies, to the home of a colored man, Demnan Lowman, early one morning. Sam Lowman, the father, had gone to a mill to get some ground. His three boys were plowing in a field near the house. Sam Lowman, the father, had gone to a house and Bertha Lowman, his daughter, was sweeping the yard. Trial Process Interrupted.

New York City—Of an environment that is still largely uncivilized the natives of South Africa, backed by a growing sentiment on the part of the African people, vacing socially and intellectually, according to the picture of the situation just brought back from Cape Province by Max Yergan, the originator and leader of the work of the Young Men's Institute, among the natives in South Africa. Mr. Yergan returned from Africa on turfle 5 after five years of uninterrupted work, based partly on the support given by Negroes in the city, where he calls the "growing sentiment among a certain portion of the white population in South Africa in favor of greater justice for the natives." Last week he was the honor guest at the African House this city, an event which has since been called the most outstanding interracial gathering ever brought together. At that dinner, Mr. Yergan culled his work and his hopes for the future. "The mind of the Europeans," he said, is "slowly swaking to the magnitude of the African situation. Wealth is pouring into that vast territory, and the world is turning there for the purpose of creating a starting economic and social problem. "By force of circumstances, the natives find themselves in a civilization which is basically European," he said, "that of the Europeans, they are face to face with the necessity of measuring up to the standards which surround Of the 7,000,000 people in South Africa 800,000 are colored, and seven million are Christianized. Yet those who have had opportunities of advancement, intelligence and self-esteem will be well able to fulfill the obligation which it imposes. And more and more people are receiving guidance from the Negroes of America, who unquestionably occupy the land of the black people in the world. In the sense of the amount, whom I work are of delicious having a share in policies, but I give as my considered view that they had no revolutionary ideas. I am not sure how the land situation and by the color hat which calls them to keep natives out of the land are protecting certain proposals for removing solders of their franchise. South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926 which the two women had run, and in which there was a number of children ridden in age from a few months to twelve years. The Lowmans had been living in Alken County a little over a year, had never been in any trouble, and knew none of the officers by name. The two men were marked white men had gone to the same house on a Sunday night, taken Deman Lowman out and whipped him. "When the men working in the field heard the woman scream they rushed to the house and in the alteration which followed the mother, Mrs Annie Lowman, was killed as well as the sheerft. The three Neroces were arrested, tried, convicted of murder; the two were sentenced to death by prisonnant. On appeal, the evidence was found to be so faulty that the case against Deman Lowman. It seemed likely that a verdict of not guilty would be rendered for the other two defendants. This was when the mob stopped in and lynched all Federal Law Desired. In this connection it is worth recalling that South Carolina has an anti-lynching law and a favorable record on lynching. But the conclusion to which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held is that the law is not adequate for the machinery for stamping out lynching in the United States must be provided by an adequate federal anti-lynching law. Such a bill is now pending before the United States senate. The measure would be sent to all persons within the jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The bill rests upon the clause of section 1 of the fourteenth amendment, which reads: "Nor shall any state ¹ deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." It provides for a fine of $10,000 upon a county in which a person has been lynched. It also provides for the prosecution in federal courts of lynchers and delinquent and negligent officers of the law. It was originally introduced in 1830, reintroduced on April 11, 1921, in the 1922 General Assembly, and amended in 1924 by the house of representatives on January 26, 1922, by a vote of 200 to 119. Anti-Lynching Bill Reintroduced. On May 6, 1922, a memorial urging antitraching measure, signed by 24 at jurists and distinguished lawyers, 3 at including 29 college presidents and pensions, was presented to the senate by sociation, at its annual meeting held NOTED AMONG CA PEOPLES. TO YERGAN On May 6, 1922, a memorial urged the prompt enactment of the Dyer nutmucifying measure, signed by 24 state governors, 39 mayors of cities, 47 counties, and 104 colleges and universities, including 29 college presidents and professors, 20 editors and 37 other citizens, was presented to the senate at Sennor Lodge. The American Bar Association voted to enact the measure. they do not seek to overturn the existing government. "The situation is being considered with potable moderation by the native leaders, who seem willing to cooperate in every way with the government," he said. "This spirit of co-operation will meet with a diffite response. "The Young Men's Christian Association has been responsible for bringing the people of the white inhabitants. Out of that has come an increasing inclination to give the situation the study it deserves. The system is the system of joint councils, comprising both white and colored people, seeking better inter-racial relations." HOSPITAL BOARD STAGED MEETING; PLANS OUTLINED Pursuant to a call issued by the board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital, a mass meeting was held in the American Mutual Auditorium Monday night. The meeting had a representative attendance, but one of the directors was absent, as well as the majority of the colored physicians. Some citizens present remarked that no person should be retained on the board who will not attend the meeting called by said board. The main talk was made by Dr. J. W. Slaughter (white), member of the advisory board and the author of a membership plan to partly maintain the hospital. This plan, briefly stated, is to sell 3,000 memberships to colored physicians, and the church will be a little every member of said family to free hospital service during the space of one year, excepting doctor's fees and medicine. Chairman John W. Hubert presented and stated that the campaign had been officially and formally opened, both for the $6 memberships and $100 contributions for equipment purposes. It was decided to appoint several teams of representative citizens to sell the membership idea to the colored citizenry of Houston, but just when these workers will be selected and put to work was not indicated at Monday night's meeting. James B. Grisaby president, the American Mutual, led off with a pledge for $1,000, $250 to be paid for four consecutive years: while others paid in made selling, and stated that they would be selling to do their part in putting over the proposed program. DETROIT FIRMS GIVE MEXICANS MANY GOOD JOBS (By The Associated Negro Press). Detroit, Mich.-An entirely new business situation as it pertains to the Negro in this city has just been brought to light. According to Secretary Sturgeau, the Negro is being brought through connection with the Y. M. A. C. a Mexican laborers and its brought industrial plants. In several instances, it has been noted that Negro employees in the past five years more than 2,000 Mexicans have found their way into the plants here. Whereas, Mexican workers may possibly mean that Mexican was employed. This situation as by the U.S. government may possibly mean that Mexicans are being brought here to fill a shortage, soon to be of felt, and that they may possibly acquaint the industrial worker with the situation, and to advise him to put in full time and turn out a full time job. A general alarm has been sent to any foreign company taken by any foreign group. This type of acquaintance is informed by industrial plant managers that the Negro worker as a group requires a certain form of management in or outside the city. This type of management is hard to find which may be one of the reasons why Negroes are employed less than in other industrial plants.

READ NEW ORLEANS NEWS ON PAGE 5 SPICY-RACY-NEWSY | the following resolution: "We find that further legislation should be enacted by the congress to punish and prevent leaching and mesh violence." On September 21 the bill was brought upon the floor of the senate by Senator Shortridge, but met a decisive check when a group of Southern senators announced that they would filibuster. In the preliminary wrench that ended the opportunity to bring it to a vote for consideration was lost, the senate rejected the motion. The senate reintroduced and is now pending before the senate judicial committees. The main objection made to the Dyer anti-lynching bill was that it infringed on state rights. It is contended by those who object to such legislation that the federal government has no more warrage to step in to punish the lynching. The senate rejected the murder or any other crime—arson, for example. But James Welden Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, argued at a recent senate hearing that lynching is not simply murder; that lynching is a crime; that the mob apprehends the victim, tries and condemns, and that the案 hits him. Moreover, contended, even if we define lynching as murder we are still confronted with the fact that murder at the hands of a mob presents a question which the states have not been able to cope with. And that is why the senate rejected the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Argument for Federal Bill. Anti-lyfting crusaders place the in the number of lynchings upon the Dyer bill. "It is now evident beyond directors of the National Association will not stamp out lynchings, was pounding the countrys, which disgraces America before will never be ended until an assessee holds this crime."

They point out that the strongest crime the Government has committed From the figures it is apparent that a crime" form a large majority of the PICKENS WILL TOLECTURE Anti-lyaching crusaders place the responsibility for the recent increase in the number of lychings upon the failure of the senate to act upon the Dyer bill. "It is now evident beyond argument," declared the board of disclosure of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NACP, that will not stamp out lychings. When the Dyer anti-Lyaching bill was pending in the congress lychings sharply declined, apparently because the NACP, which disregards America before the civilized world apparently will never be ended until an accused public sentiment definitely notice the seriousness that affective steps must be taken to stamp out this crime. The main attempt to justify lychning has been based upon the contention that only by the summary method of mob murder could colored men be deterred from attacking white women. But the figures of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People show that among the crimes that punished murder leads the list, and that the alledged or real crimes that punished murder are the most serious. They point out that the strongest rebuttal to the statement that "the usual crime" that provokes lychning is that colored women have been lynched. From the figures it is apparent that other incidents than the so-called "usual crime" that provokes lychning PICKENS WILL ATTEND CONGRESS IN BELGIUM; TO LECTURE IN EUROPE New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 65 Fifth Avenue, has announced that it would be represented at the International Conference on oppression of minority races and peoples to be held in Brussels, capital city of Belgium, the middle of January, William Pickens, who had planned a lecture trip has been authorized by the N.

In connection with his European tour, lectures are being arranged for Mr. Pickens in England and other European countries before the conference takes place. Lectures have already been arranged in England by the Society of Friends in London. Among the internationally known people who have signified their sympathy with the Brussels conference are Plutarcho Ellas-Cafles, president of the Republic of Mexico, who has asked that his country be allowed a representative; General Chang, Chief Chek, commander-in-chief of the forces of the National Revolutionary Army of China; Bishop William Mont WHITE COMPANY LOSES BIG CASE; PECULIAR TURN WHITE COMPANY LOSES BIG CASE; PECULIAR TURN Equitable Life of New York Must Pay In a decision handed down recently by the Supreme Court of South Carolina the Equitable Life Insurance Association held a hearing on the policy which was never issued but on which the first premium had been paid. The insurance company took and a receipt issued therefor. The plaintiff was Miss Lila M. Stanton, a State University student, who died in 1918. It was shown that Stanton applied for insurance in October, 1918, but was refused. The insurance company asked a periodic draker earlier in his life. The company advised its local office to consider a new policy, be considered after another year. In October, 1918, Station applied once again, and a receipt making the insurance offer from the day of payment is given.

In speaking of his plans, Mr. Pickens said: "Having been invited on several occasions by the Society of Friends in London to make a lecture on the history of the French invasion an invitation to attend the Brussels conference, it occurred to me that it would be a good thing for an organization like the N. A. A. C. P. to at least be a sympathetic observer and to participate in this first effort of the world to confer with each other. No one can predict how the process of such a conference as it is the first of its kind. But the American Negro should certainly be present at the first gathering of this kind.

Shifting Gears on Lollipop The great actress from her heights was trying to be patronizing. When the little laundry boy entered her dressing room and laid down the package of laundry, she noticed that several of his teeth were out.

Lesson for October 31 THE EVILS OF STRONG DRINK LESSON TEXT—Prov. 22:29-25. GOLDEN TEXT—At last it bites like a serpent and stingth like an adder. PRIMARY TOPIC—Learning to be Temperate. JUNOR TOPIC—The Control of the Appetite. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-10—Alcoholic Beverages Hurtful to the Individual and Safety. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-IC—Light Wine and Beer A Menace. 1. Woes of Those Who Indulge in Wine (vv. 29, 80). No more graphic description of the evils of the winebiber has ever been given. It portrays in the most impressive manner the miseries that attach to the drunkard's life. 1. The awful pain which causes one to cry out, "Oh" Many indeed are the pains which men suffer because of strong drink. Bodily ills insumerable can be traced to its evil influence. 2. The bitter remorse which causes one to cry out, "Allas" Many are the expressions of bitter regret which come daily from the lips of the drunkard. Sometimes it is the sorrow of disgrace, loss of manhood and self-respect. Sometimes it is the sorrow of poverty of the individual and his family clothed in rags and half starved. Sometimes it is the sorrow of following a broken-hearted wife to her grave and seeing his children scattered among strangers. 8. Contention, strife and quarrel. 9. Much of the fighting among men is directly caused by their passions being impaired by strong drink. The drunkard takes offense as well as gives evidence. He not only has these from without, but he has struggles within him. He is also armed with each other. 10. Babbles and complaining. 11. Babbles and complaining. These are wounds which might have been avoided from fighters in which a man ill-tuck, broken fortune, ruined health, has of friend of fate and of God. 12. Wounds without a cause. 13. These are wounds which might have been avoided from fighters in which a man ill-tuck, broken fortune, ruined health, has of friend of fate and of God. 14. This has reference to the blood-shot eyes of the tippler which tipples his wine and comes upon those who marry long at wine (v. 30). 15. The Attitude of the tippler (v. 30). 16. Do not put your self in the way of temptation. The only safe attitude toward strong drink is total abstinence, and the only sure way to abstinence is not to ever look at it. 17. The Drunkard's Belt End (v. 11). 18. 1. Acute miserles (v. 32). "It bites like a serpent, and stingles like a strangler. Strunk drink, like the poison of the serpent, permeates the whole system and endures the most fatal scence and death. The perversion of the moral senses (v. 33)." 1. (1) This excitement causes the eyes to behold strange things. This deceives them, and they are dragged down on the brain of the drunkard. Even when delirium tremens does not result, there are funnies which function with wine drinking. It is no doubt that wine is the most dangerous thing. "The eyes shall behold strange wonders." (2) "Thine heart shall utter perverse things." His moral sense being perverted, his utterances partake of the sance. He tells lies, his senses are distorted. "He is inescaseable to danger (v. 3). The drunkard is unsteady. His brain reacts to and fro, he is foolhardy, even as one who would lie in the darkness." (3) The greatest danger of falling off. 4. He is insensible to pain (v. 35). The drunkard is utterly ignorant of the influence of strong drink. The drunkard has many bruises and wounds for which he did not realise when he received them. 5. His abject bondage (v. 35). He all surpasses his suffering and disrespects the skin as a bondage to allow the ways of sin. 6. He at last is for no drunkard in the Kingdom of Heaven (I. C. 6:10). The Rock of Ages A sailor in a shipwreck was once thrown upon a small rock, and clung to it, in great danger, until the tide came back. Friends of friends after the rescue, "didn't you shake with me?" "Yea," replied Joe. "I was shaken." The rook of the flock of Ages—Sabath Reading. A Work of Art and Skill A work of a fisher (Matt. 4:10) is rather a work of art and skill than of force and violence—Trench.

(An Editorial) An article appearing recently in the Times Pleasure, a daily newspaper of New Orleans, blamed the "bottle weevil" as the chief cause for decrease in cotton production and land valuation in the southland. The Negro labor in Southern states was given the increased decrease in detail, all to explain the "why." The reason stated for the cause of migration of the Negro labor North was higher wages offered by Northern industrial centers. There are innumerable causes for the existing unrest among the Negro population of the South that might have been mentioned with better results, but the cause is not clear. The Southern states adequate playgrounds, unfair discrimination of the law, obnoxious "in-crowning" even in public institutions and hospitals supported by the city, state and popular subscription—to the extent that they are not allowed to enter by the front door. Many other like cases could be enumerated. Yet there are those among us who stand for interracial understanding, and we are not the only group that publicly state the basic reasons? In great New Orleans, "America's most interesting city," the school facilities and conditions for Negro children are poor and a shame on her fair name. Schools are not properly equipped. It is hardly worth while to compare the schools of the white and black races. Most of the equipment used in schools is not appropriate for giving raise funds necessary. In many cases rents and taxes are higher for Negroes than for other races. The unjust discrimination on the rufous could well have been cited as an important factor in running them. The discrimination is a crime against civilization; when one citizen, a Negro, is forced to purchase a sleeping car ticket or a bed to rest at night during his travel on a common carrier. All other races among us can avail themselves of the privilege. Then when cotton production and other produce fall, and there is a marked decrease in valuation, there is not a man on the streets who can purchase a press who will have the courage to plainly state the cause of migration. The boll weevil we have had and will always have in some form. The Negro labor has always been depended on for the farms and plantations, thereby the backbone of the South in accumulating riches and wealth. Most important of all, he is denied the right of vote and voice in the government. He is also a threat to the land, a danger to the children, who not above him some consideration, recognizing the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man?"

The personnel of the Wildcat back field was changed, and played with weight with terrific speed and fight. The combination of Jones, Evans, Kirk and McCormick was the fastest set of banks in years. A strong running attack enshrined the charges of Coaches Pierce and Montgomery. Texas College presented the game in midfield, but when the Wiley were always equal to the charges, they were always equal to the task.

TEXAS COLORED WOMEN GETTING FINE RESULTS THROUGH FEDERATION 1905. under the leadership of M. Mrs. E. M. Yore, a few thoughtful women from different parts of the state came together and organized a Texas Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The purpose of this organization was to provide a place for our people. Thus, the motto of our national organization, "Lifting As We Climb," was adopted. 212 women of the federation has lived and grown. Good has been accomplished and there is yet much more to be accomplished. The cities, many of the towns, and rural communities there are clubs federated in. There are hundreds of women who stand for all that is elbowing spiritually, physically, mentally and morally are represented. The Texas federation is a member of the National Association of Colored Women, and Texas responds to the national movement in Austin. Our annual state meeting at Austin, July 6, 1998, the last notes on the event, were held at the girls' girl was paid. The property is located at San Antonio.

The team has been playing since which has never before beamed seen in the huge Tukerke bowl, a bury of the fair sex cheering for the crimson Tigers from Tukerke and the Mavericks from Atlanta, and the newly formed Tigers from Atlanta in an attire, which well distinguished her from the maddened throng of grid lovers. The weather man was not to be missed, and the summer day cool enough to be rewarming and warm enough to be comforting. The Tigers began the game by receiving the ball, then giving a splenid exhibition of end running and line planging, carrying the ball to the 12 yard line before being held for downs. The Maroon team kicked on first down and from that point until the end of the first half it was the Tiger's day. They did everything a spectator could expect to see in a football game. Running ends, passing, line plunging, kicking, blocking, tackling, broken and open field running featured the menu for the first half. If there was anything that could be done in a good football game that is not named above, they did that too. Wooten, the big fullback for the Tigers and Seward the slashing half back, led the attack which netted four touchdowns in the first half. Three of the touchdowns were made by Smith diminutive quarterback as a result of a sneak play over center. Stevenson the shift half back contributed his share by kicking three perfect goals after touchdowns and making several thrilling runs, one after intercepting a forward pass. Harris a substitute halfback added the extra point after the fourth touchdown by a kick from placement. Morehouse opened up the second quarter in great form, marching on the field with the ball passed to the undoing of the Tigers, Clark doing the throwing and receiving, and passed to the celtic. It seemed that the air route was the quickest and best route to the ball, but the second pass was incomplete. After a series of short line plumes and the aid of another pass the ball was carried over the ever watching center, folded their efforts to make the extra point by the Tigers. Morehouse elected to kick to Tucson. Smith returned the ball to the Tigers, who watched how the ball kicked on their third down. Morehouse bringing the ball back 12 half seconds and Smith kicking it when whisking the end first half. At the beginning of the second half, Morehouse kicked the ball 12 yards. It seemed that the game would be a survival of the fittest. The Maroons stiffened and the opponents kicked the ball. On the next play he added 25 yards. On the next play he added 25 yards by reverting the field on one end. The ball proceeded to forwant for naught for one of his teammates was tackled with uncease The crafty Tiger mentor began sending in fresh material until there was room in the game. It was apparent that he meant to finish the game by playing a defensive game and saving as many as possible the next Friday with Lincoln University. The team of substitutes batted on the end of the quarter, the signal being given by Meld Judge A. Frank.

It would be hard ameared plays before they matured to pick one individual star from the all-star backfield, but if there is an edge to be given it would go to Wooten who carried the brunt of the attack. His efforts being three touchdowns, which were the results of ripping and slashing outside of the Maroon tackles until they were diszy. Stevenson, Steward and Smith ably assisted Wooten by returning punts for good gains, and end runs. For the visitors, Clark, Archer and Tondee were the most outstanding. Clark was uncanny in his ability to pick out his men when throwing passes. He gets credit for throwing the longest pass of the day. It was made complete when Archer the elusive end received it and ran five yards for a gain of thirty-five yards. Tondee right halfback for the visitors was the life of the tetam and kept them in a fighting mood for the full sixty minutes of the game. P.V.FELL BEFORE SAMUEL HUSTON IN GRID BATTLE Austin, Texas.—Samuel Huston trampled over Prairie View with a score of 31-0 on Culberson field last Friday, when the crimson eleven, outplaying the heavy Prairie View team in every department, made four touchdowns and one field goal. This is the first crimson victory over the purple machine in several years. Samuel Huston scored a touchdown and a field goal in the first period, one touchdown each in the second, third, and fourth periods. The first score came within the first five minutes of play when Russ intercepted a Prairie View forward pass and ran 50 yards to the goal line. Russ kicked goal for the extra point. A few minutes later, Prairie View fumbled the ball, giving Russ his chance to kick the only field goal of the game, from the 30-yard line. In the third period, Owens made the most sensational and spectacular run of the game for the third touchdown. Alexander intercepted a Prairie View pass and sprinted 20 yards for the fourth and last touchdown in the fourth and last period. At no stage of the game did Prairie View have a chance to win or score. Late in the first period they showed a versatile attack that fairly swept the crimson eleven off their feet for their first down, but the crimson line strengthened and ICan't Enjoy Anything A Woman's Appeal for Happiness Suffering day and night the miracle known only to women.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!" Passing Parade The editor of The Informer has no axe to grind, no friends to reward, nor any foes to punish; but this paper has never been able to comprehend why H. P. Carter, present president of the Union Hospital, and R. L. Isaacs, the incumbent secretary-treasurer—men who had been the president and prime minister—were possible in a law-matter, this new institution—were not considered when it capped to appointing this new board. Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Dwalt in their houses, the most famous of the highest Gobam air and the madam going Queen Marie one better, both in feminine hair, pulchre and liv- ing. Succeeded as second-class master May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1879 Was it because these two men incurred the displeasure of some person due to the former's contention for proper business methods in the conduct of the Union Hospital; or was it due to the fact that the person was working in the qualifications that go to make a good hospital director? Prof. C. H. McGruder and Dr. C. S. McGruder, both from North Carolina in Texas, who missed his train connections and had to travel to New Orleans, to Waco to New Orleans, Dr. Brown in his leader, educator and fraternity, Fellows, secretary of Masons of Fellows and secretary of Masons of It seems that there is a "bug under the chip" somewhere, and that personalities have entered into this matter and other issues have been projected into the proposition. Even the majority of the local physicians feel that they have been slighted and ignored in this hospital proposition, and they have decided that very little support will be accorded the move. The committee will be responsible to remonstrate to the board of directors, and they are permitted to have more voice in the hospital's operation. The elevator boy wants to know if they catch red fish in the Red Sea on Red River, and if all the greens around the City Market are grown on Green's Bayou! Group of Jack Yates gridders telling how Galveston High employed able-bodied men from the docks on their football squad, to defeat Houston eleven 12-0 last Saturday. Seems to be a year of surprises and alibis! The members of the board of directors and the advisory board (white) know who this "objectionable member" is, and if they want the hospital idea to go over as it should, this board members will be involved. The Informer is making these observations because we find that so many of our business and professional men are manifesting a very little interest and concern in the Houston Negro Hospital, and practically all of them offer the same reason for their involvement in the humanitarian movement, which The Informer has heretofore stated.

BOOZE ORGY AT PRISON ELECTROCUTION. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926 According to evidence disclosed in the state prison investigation new under way in Texas, peace officers of the state, who went to Huntsville to witness the electrocution of the Noel brothers, Dallas colored youths, held a booze party prior to the double electrocution and staged a drunken orgy unheard of in the annals of the state prison. They were paying with their lives for crimes committed against society. TEXAS TEACHERS TO ADOPT NEW CONSTITUTION. The building sparks opinion that if automotive traffic gets any worse in Houston, pedestrians will be forced to walk on the sidewalks or via an underground tunnel. According to the action taken by the Colored Teachers' State Association in Dallas last November, the new constitution, submitted at said session for the approval or rejection of the state organization, was adopted for one year; and thus the question of permanent adoption or ratification will come up at the Waco meeting next month. FOR SALE~ Latest model 1928 cold; guaranteed to annoy you day, and or your money refunded. Don't rush, folks! These so-called peace officers, according to witnesses, not only reveled in "hooch" (of the corn species, some of which came from prison stills), but they tainted and tantalized the condemned race men as they wended their way to the death chamber. Colored High football players come to the stadium to get ready for clash with Y. M. C. street. Park Saturday, October 30. Meet the players. Just die for Jack. Meill will die for Jack. Meill will The opponents of the new document waged their strongest fight against what they termed too much centralization of power in the executive committee, holding to the contention that the new constitution had been the custom throughout the history of this Texas organization. The conduct of these peace officers (?) was *to offer prayer for one of the condemned men*, stating that he could not pray in the face of an uncivilized and heathenish demonstration. (Lord, help us!) The proponents of the new constitution ably defended their document, contending that most successful bodies and organizations of the modern day vest considerable authority in an executive role, particularly where the organization or body only holds annual meetings. Ms. Simpsona Crimer-Roberton that "sassy" teacher at Gregory schoolmarm that all the kids cry and she wields a wicked whip, too. This "stunt," transpiring in a reputed civilized and Christian institution, led to the arrest of a leading white normal schools of Texas—shows the depths to which the prison system of Texas has descended and degenerated, and the need for a new argument and assignment for an entire organization of the prison system. In drawing up/fthis new constitution, the constitutional committee seemed to have been actuated by a desire to write a new set of organic laws that would assist the Texas association to organize a nationalization has done with very little success during the past years. Mr. Alphonse Milla, culinary artis de luxe, whose cakes have no superiors and few if any, equals. How do we talk about the "proof of the pudding?" Going a bit further, the actions of these "peace officers," if as such, are not only deprived of the powers of communities have police and constabulary officers who are not only deprived, void of all sense of decency and official self-reliance, but of heartless, heartless and dangerous in positions of authority and power. Heretofet the meetings have been largely social, and afforded the masses of the teachers a brief vacation, with the office-seeking minority "playing politics" to either land the offices or place their friends in office. Bunch of disappointed people—too late to get free ticket to Palace Theatre as guests of theatre management and The Informer. Mobs generally pull off such capers as those charged against these Texas peace officers (?) at the electrocution of the Noel brothers, and it stands to reason, that these supposed minions of law and order would have met out summary punishment to these two condemned race prisoners had the least opportunity to be indicted and associated scaffolds to stage a lynching bee within, the wolf wails. Instead of laboring for the best interests of their profession and the youths of our race, an alarmingly large number of Texas teachers manifested more interest in socializing or aspiring for higher education. They were often failed to measure up to its larger opportunities and responsibilities. TID-BITs By Leonard Massenburg (For The Associated Negro Press) Realizing that the constitution was almost wholly inadequate to meet the many needs, demands and requirements of the organization and those comprising its membership, this new constitution was drawn up during last year; and under its terms and provisions, if adopted and executed, the association will soon become one of the educational and cultural development of the race in Texas. The government of Liberia, Africa, consists of a president and vice president elected for four years, a senate and a house of representatives. The vest that the condemned men were not white, does not mean that the officers who were not white, and, unless Texas wants to be further, disgraced and discredited before the civilized world, the governor will prevent the incarceration of such an abominable and inscrutable "stunt." The area of Liberia is equal to the area of Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and the states mentioned have a larger area. New conditions and new requirements certainly call for a new program and a new policy, and the person who is either too blind, stupid or prejudiced to discern this patent fact, is totally unfit and disqualified for leadership. ANOTHER GALVESTON BANK FAILURE. Abyssinia is equal in size to ten states of the United States. Its population is estimated at 12,000,000, and it is claimed they are not, Nervous. While in Galveston last Friday afternoon, the editor of this paper learned that several colored residents of the Island City, as well as racial organizations, had quite a bit of money on deposits in the bank. They were a bit, recently closed because of a "up," on said financial institution. China is called the "sleeping giant of the Orient," because her subjects were and are satisfied with occupying the same niche and serving in the same role as their forbears; working under the same leadership; and "what was good enough for our fathers, is good enough for us." The Republican of Haiti, the second largest of the Greater Antilles, has an area of about 11,000 square miles and a population estimated at 3,000,000. Because of his friendly and helpful attitude towards colored citizens, Mr. McCarthy enjoyed the respect and confidence of the vast majority of colored residents in the Island City, and no bank institution had as many colored depositors as the McCarthy institution. The Republic of Santo Domingo has a coastline of about 1,000 miles. Sugar cocoa, and tobacco are the chief products. Sugar cane, iron, corn, and salt are to be found. No man, race or organization can make much progress standing still and merely marking time. Men, races and organizations must either progress or retrograde; for if they rest, they rust. They must either be stagnant or rotten and rotten, they become a stench in the nostril of civilization. Italy's possessions in Africa consist of Eritrea, on the Red Sea; Italian Tripolitania and Cynagonia, on the Mediterranean Sea. Their area is es- According to information imparted to us; one colored Galvestonian had about $10,000 in this defunct bank; another had $9,000; one Pythian lodge had around $1,000; set of Pythian trustees, $3,000; etc. The Informer hopes that the Texas teachers will exercise common sense and rare judgment in the final action on their new documentation. The Texans will be able to make cheap, petty policies will have no place in the deliberations on this instrument; for, to our journalistic mind (having read the new constitution very carefully and critically) his document is ably prepared to do so. The Texans will also such instruments, and the men who devoted time and energy in to this effort were prompted by an unselfless spirit to draw up a constitution that would meet the growing needs of their oratory. Numerous other racial organizations, such as lodges, churches et cetera, did business exclusively with the McCarthy bank, and from present indications, it appears that these unfortunate people and organizations will suffer heavy financial losses. History says that women in ancient Egypt represented with sandals or slippers on certain Egyptian monuments, represented with sandals or slippers. Rome always walked barefooted that way. It seems rather strange that every time a bank falls in some Southern community, it is generally the bank where most of our corporate assets are held. It is hard to believe and with its failure went the hard earnings and savings of a large group of colored depositors, several members of Prairie View Bank. At the beginning of the Christian era footwear was regarded as an object of use and strict decency. All luxury in regard to shoes was prohibited. The preachers told women to be humble and insisted that their footwear should be very simple. Since this new constitution will largely determine the future policy and program of the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas, the importance of the association's consequences, the officials of the association are anxious for the largest attendance at Waco, November 25-27, 1926, in the history In the case of the Galveston bank, it seems that the failure of the bank is due to the fact that the bank was unable to meet the unexpected rush and demand on the part of the depositor for their money, and naturally the doors the fourteenth century brought an increase in the number of so-called "poulaine," a skirt or boot with an extremely long and polished hemline. The poulaine wanted to hide the abnormal shape of OUR HOSPITAL ATTITUDE FURTHER EXPLAINED It is said that the McCarthy bank had a deal of paper and collateral that was not negotiable, and for that reason the other bank had to accept it. The Informer feels gratified with the response and favorable comment accorded our editorial of last week, touching upon Houston Negro Hospital, and we are quite anxious that our position in this matter be thoroughly understood. During that century people were slaves to a desire for luxury. Everybody tried to get a pair of those flashy men and women were told that hot of abuse. Among the latest developments is the filing of a suit in court to adjudge the McCarthy banking firm bankrupt, and the outcome of this case is being watched with a deal of interest by both white and colored Galvestonians. The Informer is not making any fight on the new hospital, nor on the board of directors, per se; but this paper is trying to advise those in charge of this institution what must be done if the proposition is to be "sold" to our people. The first shoes a la pousline are the first ones. They are not exaggeratedly so. But the shoes are ever long and evermore pointed till they unite and even more unite unless unites flatten the tips by a little. The Informer hopes that the affairs of this closed bank can be so adjusted that the large number of depositors, white and colored, will not be forced to suffer heavy financial losses, despite the fact that the bank was a private institution. The hospital idea is something new among our people here, and we hold to the opinion that men who have been large factors in QUESTIONS—ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author, "The Children of the Sun" Questions pertaining to Nero hic and not too long, will be answered by the author, but will not permit the subj sence will not permit the subject sonally answered, subject to proper vision is enclosed.
