Houston Informer

KENTUCKY COLORED EDITORS FOUND GUILTY LIBEL, APPEAL HOME EDITION THE MIRROR Dr. C. E. BYCHARDSON by C. F. RICHARDSON. PROFESSIONAL ETHICS It is mighty small and many for a business or follow a certain profession, to persist in a policy and program of trying to achieve a certain degree of same business or profession. In business and profession should have what is commonly called "professional ethics," and they should rightly observe them. In business, one colored physician should knock another colored physician, instead of the former helping the latter, as he designed, he injures both himself and all colored physicians, and he owes his own race from race doctors. The same thing is true of colored dentists, however, the colored insurance agents and others of our racial group who depend largely upon our people for their employment. Whenever one colored insurance agent, working under the delusion of being a dentist, he injures himself when he injuriously and insidiously destroys the influence and intelligence of the group in the engagement in the same field of human endearment, spends most of his time discussing and trying to expound the facts of the "knocking" insurance agent is also panning his own company indirectly; for what purpose does he try to expound the facts of the insurance company or agent, will sooner or later affect the profession of stressing the merits of the own product or profession of business, or will stress the merits of the other business, the duties of the other business just about to neutralize our "long-goings." He ought to keep a man in his employer who is spending more time knocking his competitor than in boosting and pushing his own empire. To persist in an effort to knock any man who "knows his stuff and can strut it," is but to give said man an incalculable amount of free advertising and materially boost his profession or business. We certainly need more professional and business ethics among our professional and business men in Houston, and particularly do we need it among the professional men. At best, the colored professional man is up against a row of stumps, especially if he is following a profession where he meets competition from like professionals in other races; and it behooves our professional men to subordinate whatever petty jealousies they might have towards one another, either for real or imaginary reasons (most of the latter), and pool their interests in one common cause. If a brother in the same profession is unethical and his actions are calculated to bring reproach upon the profession and himself, go to the erring or unethical brother and explain to him frankly and candidly what his end will be if he does not improve his ways; and if we have not the backbone and nerve to approach him in a manly way and perform this service, let us not get on the housetops and broadcast his shortcomings to the world. It is a mighty low-down criminal who will "queel" on or willfully and maliciously expose another member of his gentry, and it seems that crooks of the underworld have a code of ethics that men in more honorable vocations could consistently afford to emulate. Selah TRUTHEUL NEWS ITEMS. Our attention has been called to the fact that some of the news items appearing in the newspaper are greatly in error; and that people who we have publish to the world that they have been to disillusion the citizens of this state. During the summer months a certain member of our news item about a certain member of his family visiting cities in the North, and, when the conductor of a column visited a student in the city, we were informed that after we were informed that her entire vacation in the Texas city, often ladderers have called our attention to these mime representations of the author, the student, the umma, but the management of The Informer cannot be held strictly responsible for the authorization of the umma, but often they are phoned into the office, and we have no special investigation done. Therefore, if all such items are true and correct. Therefore, we are asking those who are there no charge attached, and there is no charge attached.

He said that it is true that the colored people have not gotten all they wish, economically or politically, but no one gets all he wishes in this life, not even the president of the United States.

South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HEMAN PERRY PROVING "COME BACK" ABILITY WITH ST. LOUIS GROUP LINCOLN ALUMN PLEDGE ROBERTS WHOLE SUPPORT (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y. — Dr. E. P. Roberts, president of Lincoln University Alumni Association, announced today that the selection of Dr. William H. Hibbertson, the president of Lincoln by the board of trustees which was made public last week, had met with the universal approval of the alumni of the Pennsylvania institution. Dr. Johnson's election on November 15, brought to an end a battle between alumni and trustees of the university that has stretched over a period of two years, during which time two men were selected by the board to fill the vacancy made by the president. N. Y. was the first of those selected was satisfactory to the alumni and each had the wisdom to decline the position. Lincoln's new president, according to Dr. Roberts, meets all of the requirements. He is an educator and an administrator and is "steeped in Lincoln traditions," having been professor of Greek at the university for twenty-five years, serving in the高校 with the Administration of D. J. R. Rendall and also of Dr. J. B. Rendall. During his twenty-five years at Lincoln, Dr. Johnson has favorably impressed the alumni and students with his scholastic ability and courage and has at all times shown a keen interest in the welfare of the students and the advancement of the institution. Dr. Johnson is a state of Princeton and Columbus universities and has studied extensive, general books and is contributor to a number of magazines. While known chiefly as educator, Dr. Johnson has associated with the ministry CHURCHES TO HOLD JOINT XMAS SERVICE At a recent meeting of the Colored Intercommunal Alliance, arrangements were made to hold union Christian churches of Houston at the Antioch Baptist Church (Robin Street), Christian presidency of the president, was selected to preach the sermon and a committee—consisting of Rev.

The plan of the Negro division of the inter-racial confluence with a mass meeting at the St. Louis, Mo.—Herman Perry, the insurance wizard, storm center in the sensational rise and fall of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Georgia, is attempting a "come back" and business men here who not only have insurance but are also capturing in them, say that "he is on his way." A recent announcement of the launching of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Missouri, released recently, has been tremendously active in St. Louis several months ago and to has been tremendously active in business. The officers of the St. Louis Underwriter's Corporation, a finance organization president, and W. H.

Its officials say that they have secured twenty of the highest powered assistance in the first three months; they will write $5,000,000 worth of business in the first three months.

It is my life ambition now to prove that I can give to the world's best life care insurance starting out under favorable conditions. It is the intention of the officers of Standard Life to organize an organization than that of the Standard Life of Georgia.

A motion to squash the charge against the Leader was sustained by Judge Bailley, it being ruled that the Leader is not a corporation and is owned and managed solely by Cole. Both Warley and Cole were granted a right to appeal. Judge Bailley presided with an agreed order entered at the September circuit court term, at which time the two editors appeared in court in Madisonville represented by Allen P. Dodd, a prominent lawyer for a special judge and asked that the case be tried through briefs. Editors Warley and Cole were indicted by the Hopkinsville grand jury because of articles appearing in their papers, preceding the trials by Bunyon Fleming, Nathan Bard and Columbus Hollis, who were charged with assault on a white woman and are the outcome of what Kentucky fair-minded and right-thinking white and black men miscarriage of justice in Lexington, Ky., when a colored man was accused of rape upon a white woman and within the next few weeks a white man was declared insane for an assault upon a young colored girl. The journalist who said, "JUSTICE MOCKED AGAT; WHITE RAPIST OF ELEVEN-YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL IS DECLARED IN SANE," MOTHER CRIES, "MY GOD, IS THERE NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA?" Indictments were brought against the Leader editor as results of headlines and article of April 17 which follows: "Madisonville Gease Stage for Speedy Trial and Hanging of Negroes: Justice Will Not Slip as In the Merchant Case." The paragraph: "Outcome by Mississelpi, Georgia, and other states, charged with certain offenses, the extreme penalty. Outside of the courts, Kentucky bids fair to outdistance them all in the double standard of laws, the mockery of it, when the Negro is involved through speedy trials, which fall little short of legalized lynching at a very high cost. The Madisonville is about to outdo Lexington in this effort to put the old state over." The judge, who under the law, simply acts as referee in a case, has in this instance busied himself with the prosecution, and citizens, a special court has been called, a bigger army than that used at Lexington, at a greater expense, is to be on duty, and it is the concern of the county. That holds, Fleming and Bard are to be awfully convicted and hanged as to make the Lexington affair look like a penny with a hole in it.

When there's to talk about they will interesting ways, coming from some big holiday celebration and, as is also the case at such times, everyone was in good bum. The genius! Anyway, her eyes light up when she As the door swung open and red-capped porters met the heavily loaded car, great, sweeping crowd past Jack Delmer, as he stood a moment waiting to get his direction. He looked up. It was him, as he stood a moment waiting to must go with the crowd—must follow them. Soon he traversed the long platform, ascended a flight of stairs and saw children in the self-setted again in a great steel coach. Passengers were coming on spidery, low-floor cars, children were in the crowd. There were the well-do-o (or apparently so) as well as the poorly-built. But a suite of class, or concession, cars still present with the crowd. But for that spirit, of course, there might have been Friction and bickering and still a man with a sense of humor and something of a time of irreverence once remarked that God could understand. But he doubted that He could understand a whole car full of them. A middler crowd it is. True to his words, he came and withered they were gone. At last, the car was about full. It was but one minute to starteling time. He was heard. Conductors, brakemen and porters stood ready when the signal was heard. They wore vestibules and wore vestibules doors and took their places. Just as the words "all aboard" were heard along the line, a young woman came up and stood in the train and was out of breath. She was not flustered or perturbed, however. She was the train started and looked toward the rear. Jack wondered where she was. Every seat in the car, save his, as far as he could see, had its quota of two. She had passed this. Jack instinctively told himself: "I must sit here." I'd much rather sit with a nice looking girl next us than have some crude foreigner, but I had to be seated in a seatmate for the next three or four hours. Her intentions were good. He was merely helpen with himself. Suddenly the girl turned. A pair of quick, bright brown eyes detected the vane next to her, and the girl wandered toward it. Jack's eyes were as quick as hers. In a first glance he surveyed the girl from head to foot. As she settled herself calmly beside him, he could have made an inventory of most of her wardrobe and belongings. He did make a inventory of skates and the fine hockey stick she had with her. How could he! Instinctively he the sensed young woman was the kind whose compan- lacobbi he could enjoy. He knew she was a refined and an educated girl with a strong sense of her body, and education and understanding in her features. She loved pleasure. He could see that, she loved the sun. She could that plainly. The train climbed on. The umbrella was wet. Suddenly Jack grew more courageous and ventured; "You've been having a good time." "I have, indeed," she replied; and every intimation and inflection bespoke the Jack's appearance beaten by a relatively high social training. There was no fear or apprehension in her role. "Just the loveliest party on the Hudson. And what could have been more fun!" she skated, stibbing, and a score of other winter-time pleasures which the girl had enjoyed. "She has had a good time, I should say," he thought to himself, after another look in which he studied her carefully, almost analytically, "and she has helped to give a good time, too, I'll warrant." The train sped on. Conversation lagged, and both dozed. Cinders rattled down upon the car roof with the patter of a brisk April shower. Suddenly the girl turned toward Jack with a startled expression upon her face and the query: "Is it raining?" Jack peered through the dirty pane. He could not determine. "I believe not," he replied. The train sped on. Conversation became easier between the two. They felt as if they could be friends, if they were not already. The girl spoke more freely and fluently than the man. But then—it's a habit women have. When there's anything at all to talk about they will relate it in an interesting way—when there isn't they can talk about that, too. They have the genius! Anyway, she rattled along, her eyes lighting up with interest. She had had a good time. Jack knew by the incidents she related and the ray of pleasure in her voice as she spoke. "I was expected home in Philadelphia," she said, "on the train leaving New York at six o'clock. Father and Brother were to meet me. Perhaps they're still waiting!" she exclaimed. I hope not. She told of the good time she and a large crowd of friends had enjoyed on the snow-clad hills above Newburg, of coasting parties and skating, and of dance that lasted. She plained how, missing an earlier train, she had run over to Brooklyn to visit She Gave Another Look Toward Jack an aunt and uncle, and how, because of this, she had missed still another Now she was troubled. Could Father and Brother be *will be*排列-all or not? They were *will be*排列-all. Her bosom heaved with an algh. "Would they scold her?" she wondered. Of course, they must be arranged. She feared they might not. She became resentful. The train naked them when the train slowed, preparatory to making its stop, she smiled at her traveling companion, remarked some experience, and some journey being broken by her meeting him, placed her nugget behind her. She clenched her nugget, stick, and passed out. She stood good on the platform waiting for an elderly couple to precede her, she gave another look back towards; their eyes met in a sort of undermining, as she did at the direct station platform. "there be muck," mucked a fine girl, and she had exchanged names or told any intimate about themselves. Kroydy had prevented that, and Jack had not exchanged names or told that they would never again meet. It is a small world. Often in its revolutions the "gotts" on the same wall say, "I will never see him or her again." As soon as you say you cast your eye at: "It will never fall away where, but you know that it will fall that way some time again. But months afterward, as guest at a house party in the Pocosin, he looked into a force that seemed very familiar. It was a man with a confident cognition and an expression of gratitude. We will not carry the story further. The reader knows what happens under such circumstances, when youth is at the peak of their standing. There may be diag. differences in expression, in the chief incidents in the chapters are similar. The journey, but it brought to Jack the beginning of one of his happiest moments.

Now in all the dice of her life was there a keener appreciation of Christmas cheer than in the heart of winsome Ione Walton, the affectionate fellow of Edith. Edith, now just recovering from a long and desperate illness, has only lived to the very last living relative of the sick girl, had gone down into the valley of death and was severely almost as did Edith, physically. But now, Edith was so greatly improved as to be able to sit up in a small table, and took a small table on which was a vase of red-and-white roses and took up the sauce containing a half-orange and in bewared at the well-buffered toast, eggs and The sister smiled sweetly. "Don't you know it is Christmas?" she nailed her finger. "Oh yes, of course. I know it is Christmas, I dear, but the season does not put anything in our pocket. You don't want it. But I'm quite sure it won't afford it." But I'm quite sure we can. So don't you worry. "Edith did not sat meet her. She was very nervous. She further explanation and I continued: "I've been a daring creature while you ill. I'm quite sure she was ill. You can do it for your sake; but it did you certainly matter, now that you are getting well. Nothing matters but just that. Oh. You are my precious Christmas gift." "You've been so good to me, dear," quickly informed Edith, ignoring her sister's claim of daring, "but you have a lot of money. You can manage to spread such sumptuous meals!" "You've boldly possessed. I insisted her head coquettily and strode defiantly across the room, as if to characterize her words. Then she paused and leanned on the footboard of the bed. "You know what I think it very dreadful. It is true, nevertheless. I had to do it." "Noneses, ina. You couldn't be sure. You tried. You don't know how." "I was though, very bold, I guess. Listen. When I went to pay the gas bill in week, I just told the clerk at the window all about it—your illness, my giving up my position to be with you, our lack of funds and our very great need, and just as good as asked him for help." "Ina!" Edith passed with the spoon half-way to her mouth. "Yes, I did just that before I realized what I was saying. I was desi- "You Were in a Critical State," ina Went On. perate that day. I was quite ready to ask aid of anyone to save your life, but I was not the one I happened to strike at the psychological moment. Edith uttered a little moot of vexation as she dropped the spoon into the sauce. "You were in a critical state," I went on, "and something had to be done at once. The new dragon who had been so proud of not crediting me. He refused to let me have medicine without the drugs. I, in fact, think or a Wizarding. What you did was actual beging; and the proud girl face regained. What the flowers?" Edith questioned. "Why the flowers?" You surely do not consider them a grave necessity." The table on which the taut vase stood and THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1926 buried her face in the roses. "But they are so lovely," she said, and I问, "So do I desire, but you should be more prudent with our scant means. Did they eat much?" So I do desire, but you should really were very expensive. Edith was growing extremely annoyed. You extravagant little impatient. You did "oh about three dollars." Edith made a gratitude at her and drawned, "Oh—about three dollars." "Three dollars!" echoed Edith with a frown. "Why we have more than three dollars this time I saw you count the money." No, "blamily acquiesced In." She looked really troubled. "You are like crying this morning. I never knew you to behave quite so foolishly." "Fooling me is IT," Edith, in draining, "and kissing her on both cheeks. Am I foolish for laying you? Suppose I had held on to my Walton pride and refused all help. I was not allowed to condition required, and I should not have—" I stopped abruptly, clapping both hands ever my mouth. "What?" Edith waited, but her sister only burst into a confused laugh when she whispered laying a finger on her chest one at the door. "Triping across the room, Ina opened with an expectant air and took from a messenger boy a small bag of cookies carried straight to the bed and set down by Edith. "There," she said, "It is all for you." "There, I exclaimed the wondering girl, she excalled her head. "You puzzle me so sorely. Flowers again." "It is not all your flowers, I'm sure, and I am not sure I am the little toss of her head. "Let me see. With this she lifted the covering of carnations, laid them lovingly in her hands, and kept her's remaining contents. "Look Took From a Messenger Boy a Large, Well-Billed Basket. Took from a Messenger Boy a Large, Well-filled Basket. Here is a young chicken, a pound of butter, rolls egg, a bottle of milk, eggs, and a bottle of oil. Edith, it all so lovely! "But where do all these lovely things come from? the hawk so scorns Edith. Edith was both pleased and curious. 'Now, that's where you are most likely to find a finger in her sister's face. We have got a friend who is just that interested—one whom you have not met and whom you are not sure are well enough for me to leave. Edith surveyed her sister critically. "Who is it, pray? The messenger merry laugh, then tried to look very serious as she leaned heavily on the footboard of the bed and answered deliberately, The two stared at each other for a moment in silence, the younger smile flickering in his eyes and disappeal. "I knew you would think my dreadful," said Ina finally, "and I would never until now. But later to me, Edith, in all serenity, I must make you believe that I will pay the gas bill, because to pay the gas bill, because to have failed would have meant no heat, with the thermometer standing at zero, and with the crazy. I returned as soon as possible and found you unconscious. The new doctor called the doctor. He said you could not live unless there was a change for you, but I was not as much as sure he did not expect that change. Next morning, Mr. Clark, the clerk of whom you may I begged, came to me little sister, from Edith. I continued: "He took in the situation at once and sent his own physician, Doctor Danks. It is to Doctor Danks that we owe your life. Then Mr. Clark sent everything that was needed for your comfort and mine, too. No doubt, the doctor made out the list for him. Nothing helpful was omitted. You were too sick to notice, and I, too anxious to refuse whatever might be of benefit to you. I simply used my common sense, instead of clinging to that old family pride that should have spent itself long ago. This basket is from him also. See" handing her the card on which were inscribed holiday greetings and his full name. "And, oh, Edith, he is—a dear!" In a clasped her hands over her heart to add emphasis to her enthusiasm. Edith listened in amazefficient while she rambled on: "I am sure you will like him, dear. You just must, for my sake, because—because" A merry twinkle lit the happy girl's face as she hesitated, "but I'll not tell you now—I'll let you guess." (ii). 1934. Western Newspaper Union.

INTERRACIAL CO-OPERATION AND BETTER UNDER- STANDING BETWEEN THE RACES. (An Editorial) New Orleans, La.—For the last ten have been held over the country and about 1000 years ago in Atlanta, Ga., and since then various years throughout the country. Now since the 19th century, the good has been brought about in the city, and in the interracial country, the people are in this city, which aroused much interest speakers forcefully impressed the idea was needed, and the white man of the tent that he might see the good that is offered may might be better able to serve him will be able to serve humanity. The in the heart of the white man of the serve, and to do mental labor. It was gross that frequent pool room and great always that class of men who frequent them a better understanding. Some of the objectives set by the Ladians were to make the best of the Ladians, the first year for delinquent Negro boys, preliminary crowded and insanitary housing conditions public school facilities for Negro children, and the most opportunities for Negro physicians and wards of public hospitals. Scarcely had these meetings closed, ored citizens of New Orleans were de the Charity Hospital, and the hateful ing in desirable localities was passed. School children are still crowded in and ill-ventilated. No parks or playgrounds are available for the use of hospital or any institution which is so denounced lynching and proposed to be and to see that it reaches the hands of public officials, judges, police chiefs, sociology of Commerce. In spite of these meetings seem to get no further which these meetings are held. The giving account of proceedings and the meeting For the last ten years into the country and the South, our relations and understated conditions after conditions among colony interacial Cooperation and since then other country. Now since the co-operation with the South, the interacial co-operation will be held much interest. And I impressed the idea that it is white man of the South to serve the South, to serve the white human. The idea is the labor. The labor. It was the cool room and groopshop and the training. The training. The Louisiana last year were: it boys, preliminary steps in a nursery housing conditions, the nurses, physicians and nurses to meetings closed and recieved Orleans were denied the maternity and the maternal secrecy in the still crowded in hadoop parks or playgrounds, and proposed to send out relief and proposed to send out relief in the police, police officers, police jobs. In spite of these rehearsals and in spite of these real encounters and what actual encounters and what actual New Orleans. La.—For the last ten years interracial councils and meetings have been held over the country and the Southland, with a view of bringing about means of better relations and understanding between the two races. The meeting was held on the subject of suggestions made, vital points discussed, objectives set to better conditions among colored people and bring about better relationship. The Committee on Interracial Cooperation was founded about ten years ago, and since then, the meeting has been conducted each year throughout the country. Now since the councils and meetings, the question is uppermost—“What good has come from them and what effect have they brought about?” The meeting was interracial council was held at one of the leading churches in this city, which aroused much interest. At this meeting one of the white speakers forcefully impressed the idea that it was better understanding that was needed, and the white man of the South had to be educated to the extent that he might see the good that is in the colored man, not that the col-tian. The meeting was held at the same time as the meeting was held by he will be able to serve humanity. The ideas seems to be born and instilled in the heart of the white man of the South that the Negro is best fitted to serve, and to do mental labor. It was said the class of white men and Negroes was the only class of white men who were not the same as the blacks. It always always that class of men who frequent these dears, for their contact gives them a better understanding. Some of the objectives set by the Louisiana State Committee on Race Religious Education was to have the last year were: Efforts to secure a state home for delinquent Negro boys, preliminary steps toward the prevention of overcrowded and insanitary housing conditions, the provision for more adequate public school facilities for Negro children, parks and playgrounds, and opportunities for public physicians and nurses to secure experience in the Negro's fields. Scarcely had these meetings closed and records filed away before the col-ted citizens of New Orleans were denied the privilege of front entrance to the school. The state has had a large collection of the 1970s living in desirable localities. School children are still crowded in inadequate buildings, poorly equipped and ill-ventilated. No parks or playgrounds; no provision on proparrism are provided. The school is in a very poor condition, with no hospital or any institution which is so sorely needed. The Interracial Council denounced lynching and proposed to send out its Hiltorell all over the world. The Council also demanded that the public officials, judges, police chiefs, railroad officials and members of Association of Commerce. In spite of these resolutions the proceedings of the Council were not adjourned. The meetings which these meetings are held.

According to her vow when she asked to be a priest, she took him to the sanctuary and she gave him over to the charge of EI, the priest, to minister in the sanctuary. 11. Her historical History in Period II (1:23:18). 12. The demoralized priesthood. 1. I. They were activated by greed (2:11). It was God’s will that those who ministered at the altar should live for them, and that they should pass through the divine regulations touching this matter, even to secure their selfish ends by force. (2:22) The courts of God’s house were thus pulsated. The condition of the nation was most appalling: Degradation and rule follow rapidly when God’s will is under the sate of hat and greed. 2. An alienated people (2:30-32). Their sina separated them from God. God’s will was under the practice sina are alienated from Him. 3. The cessation of divine revelation. The Word of God was precious in those days. “There was no open vision.” This shows that God was silent. The message from the Lord was clear. God gave him experience. The same thing in principle is true of the individual life today. Some who enjoy followed Jesus will hear Jesus voice speaking to them. IV. God Called Samuel (3:2-10). In striking contrast with the degeneracy of the nation, we have before us the beautiful life of Samuel. Dwelling within the sacred courts and ministering before the Lord with Eil is the innocent Samuel who is become the savior of his people. In Samuel we have a striking pattern of child religion. The Lord gave him in answer to Hannah's prayer. From his birth he was dedicated to the Lord. While quite young his mother took him to the sanctuary of the Lord where he served and slept. Two traits in Samuel's character stand out in this call, namely, his cheerful obedience to the Lord's call and his surrendered will. He expressed his willingness before he knew what was required. He did not inquire what was wanted and then let his obedience depend upon its suiting him. We should believe that the Lord knows what is best and he willing to yield glad obedience to His commands. V. Samuel's First Prophetic Message (3:11-18). Up to this time Samuel obeyed the one who was over him, but the time had now come when he must directly hear and obey the Lord. The first message entrusted to him was a most terrible one. To deliver it was a most terrible task. He hesitated to tell it to Eli, but when pressed by him he manifested the true courage which was lying back of his fear. It must have been a bitter experience to Eli to see Samuel recognized and himself passed by, but he was submissive. He knew that the slight was just. He could not fail to interpret it thus in view of the appearance of the man of God to him (2:27-36). This fearful visitation upon Eli's house was due to the sins of his sons. He was held accountable for not restraining them. VI. Samuel Established In the Prophetic Office (3:19-21). "And Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and did let none of His words fall to the ground and all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord."

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. —ROOSEVELT, PLAYWRIGHT TO REPEAT PLAY AT TRINITY CHURCH HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1926 MOST PECULIAR TYPE OF DEMOCRACY! Last Saturday was primary election day in Houston, when candidates for mayor, four city commissioners and city controller were nominated by the voters of Houston—that is, by all qualified voters except those of ebony hue and African descent. A While held and styled as a party primary, in which only white democrats are permitted to participate, this primary election is, to all intents and purposes, tantamount to an election; and the ratification cremony, which will take place during April of 1927, is merely perfunctory. In connection with this "white man's primary," a $1,500,000 bond issue for port improvements was also balloted on by the voters of Houston and the entire navigation district; and in this bond election any qualified elector could cast a vote. The informer has never been able to comprehend the consistency of the bureaucratic objection from city primaries, and then permitting these same disfranchised colored Americans to exercise their elective franchise rights when far-reaching issues and weighty propositions are before the electorate of this city and district. MRS. W. Y. RICHARDSON, San Antonio author and playwright, whose dramatical production, "At the Altar," opened its premiere rendition at the Odd Fellows Temple, November 20, has been nominated for the prestigious kindly consented to stage this drama at Trinity M. E. Church, Travis and Bell, Wednesday night, December 15. In other words, the Informer can not see how any citizen, who is not patriotic, sensible and honest enough to know how to cast a ballot for some elective official in a city primary election, has enough patriotic, sense, honesty and integrity to cast an intelligent ballot in elections where huge bond issues are proposed and even where amendments and changes to the city charter are submitted to the entire electorate for approval or disapproval at the ballot boxes. This play was very ably rendered by local talent, and the plot and lines of the drama proved the author to be a genius along her line, and bespoke her wonderful ability as a playwright. Mrs. Richardson is to be commended for producing and staging this wonderful play, which pleased a large audience here at its first offering. Going a bit further, this paper often wonders just what species of democracy we have in this community, which disqualifies and disfranchises native-born, loyal, faithful and taxpayer American citizens from having a voice in saying who their public servants shall be; and yet on the other hand permits foreigners, born abroad and totally unacquainted with American ideals, institutions, customs and traditions, to not only vote in such partisan elections, but often to enjoy some of the spoils of victory! Among the actors Dr. L. M. Mitchell played his part as villain exceedingly skilled in the art of stealing money. Miss Milture Servetty in the flapper role, was no novice with her part, and her part and its consequence should be a lesson to all flap As far as the colored brother in Houston is concerned, he is both a political outcast and partisan orphan—unable to have either a voice or vote in the democratic or republican primary elections; yet the colored man must shoulder all the responsibilities of city, county, state and national governments borne by him. He must vote in any and all elections—whether primary, special or general. Mrs. Rebel Jones proved herself to be no less厉害 than a dramatist, no less leading character, displaying a beautiful leadership. All participants performed their credits, and Hastonwillis and Hastonwillis acted in action again next Wednesday in action again next Wednesday. There is nothing fair, democratic nor equitable in such a double standard of reputed democracy, for democracy presupposes a government OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE. The rule of the government, or the rule of the masses instead of the rule of the classes. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The annual party given by the employment department last Thursday for women who had never attended a Y activity being present. The Compound Club will present a pavement show and a public invited. The committee of management will hold regular meetings, 14 a. m. Thursday, December 16, 8 p. m. will be Art Museum night. A museum will be hilted. The Phyllis Wheaton Club has started a discussion on "Do's and Don'ts" for women. All girls are welcome to come. When Houston publishes to the world that its colored citizens are not worthy and competent to participate in an election where the city officials are chosen, it casts a worse reflection upon this municipality than it does upon the colored contingent of this city, and demonstrates that our community is not far removed from class bigotry, prejudice and intolerance. In this connection, The Informer has never seen any party stage a primary election in one year, in which candidates were nominated for an election to be held the next year. Such procedure can defeat the cause of its proponents, for it affords the opposition an opportunity to organize their forces for the so-called general election, encourage the payment of poll taxes in the numbers and launch an independent movement to defeat the successful candidates in the primary election held during the preceding year. The Dollar, an arm of the North Atlantic, was formed by imbulation in 127th and subsequent dates. It lies between the German, and that of Great Britain, Holland. Because the colored citizens of Houston have no voice in the election of city officials, they receive very scant consideration from the city hall; but this would all be changed were these people not holding political rights that even our foreign element enjoys and exercises. Travelers and explorers in Africa we have much difficulty because of the lack of roads and the lack of lodges. Of the latter there is anywhere from 400 to 800, according to different sources. The roads can be changed every twenty miles or more, and the roads can stand the dialect of the next district. If the colored man ever expects to wield the ballot in all elections in Houston, he must organize his forces, select his own leader and then wage an incessant legal battle for his sacred, inherent and God-given rights, warranties and prerogatives. green vegetables and fruit and produce milk and butter sufficient for the farmer should live at home, get away from the obnoxious and harsh weather, and then when crop failures occur there will be no suffering no suffering Principal W. R. Banks of Prairie View State College, summaded up the efforts by the agents, and pledged the support in their efforts to put over a real program among the rural 'people' of H. S. Zettle, state agent, spoke to county and county farmers, county and county farmers, white State Leader Walter—the one man who is largely responsible for the extension of the state's agricultural Texas in a fine manner—discussed the agents to the counties and countryside which they work. They and plans for the betterment of their work were suggested and all of them received much day session here and all of them received much valuable and concrete AUSTIN ELEVEN LOST HARD TILT TO LOCAL TEAM AUSTIN ELEVEN LOST HARD TILT TO LOCAL TEAM Uncorking a bewildering attack in the last half of the game that literally stood the gridders of the Anderson Junior High of Austin on their heads, the fast eleven of the Houston Colored High School, coached by R. G. Lockett, emerged from their gridiron combat 19-7 winners at West End Park last Saturday afternoon. This was the first victory out of four games won by the local high team, having held the Y. M. C. A. to a 6-6 score, and coming out on the short end with Galveston and Beaumont, 6-0 and 347, respectively. During the first quarter the local gridders were within falling distance of two touchdowns, but lost the ball both times on downs. In the second quarter an Austin player evaded the Houston line and backfield and ran fully 45 yards for a touchdown. The additional point after touchdown was also registered. When the local players left the field at the end of the first half, Coach Lockett held a very impressive skull session, and during the second half the Austinites were played completely off their feet by their Houston rivals. The outstanding stars of the title were: "Jimmy" January and Louis Thurman for Austin; "Sunshine" Harris Curtis Madison, George ("Skeeter") Rainey, Emerson Norris, Edward Johnson and Jerome Busby for Houston. The rooting continent of the Colored Hick was in out full force and the Colored Hick was in full force, grits, grits, bedded in school colors, formed a human C. H. S. in midfield.

Negro Singers Please Audience With Old Songs Houston Post-Dispatch: Old time songs and spirituaries were enjoyed with so much enthusiasm by the audience of whites who heard several Negro choral groups in the Summer Brownie Church Friday night, that the program was almost doubled by the number of encores requested by the audience. The program was given for the benefit of the building fund and the Brownie Church, which began as a mission for Negroes under the support of the Second Presbyterian Church, and is now a member of the Brazos Presbyterian Church. The titles of the songs are familiar to every Southerner, and the quality of the music as presented by the singer showed the effort of the Negroes to preserve the original interpretations of the old favorites. Hike Golden Gate, My Lord's Writings All the Time, Every Time I Feel the Soul of the Older Girls. Welcome Table, Couldn't Hear Mary Pray, Stem Alaw, Swing Low The Moon, True Religion, Hand Me Down the Silver Trumpet, Britha What a Man Is, Heaven Alm Ginne There, were the program numbers that pleased the au This year the groups giving the program were assisted by the Colederidge group, which was Bettel quartet Washington Midget gets and Grege Street Kindergarten.

But, the republicans, according to Senator Reed of Pennsylvania—not Missouri, mark ye-plan to flare up and slam back at the democrat an investigation into the attack on the Mason and Dixon South of the Mason and Dixon line. Now, that’s where business picks up. Of course, the may mean nothing more than the so-called “faire,” but it will at least let the democrat understand that the republicans know what it’s all about. Presidential Politica Big Stake. Presidential politics is the big stakes that will be before the American people. The president has a responsibility that has not been witnessed in a long, long time, on the long, long mercy "shuffling along," so far as possible. There are no hat-throwing-in-the-air or hurry to the-grand-old-people, or reach out to reach horizon. Practically everyone is not only willing, but anxious to wait until the cyclones of racial protest and violence have got to keep going some how, they have got to keep going some how, as fitted on the plaster paper. The subject of lynching promises get more than an ordinary午睡 at Alken, S. C., and Houston, Texas, but Frank observes that there is a difference because a national election is two years off, and the fences can be built in order to prevent lynching.phrases in Negro republican oratory during campaign time are such interesting political conditions at this time, that most of the speakers, who would竞选Democratic copyright phrases and "view with alarm." for the holidays, which always come right after the election, have afford abundant material for consideration during the long winter in the North and short in the South.
