THE SCOUT-HOAIT: NewsDispatch state that Governor Brandon of Alabama, and the eight leading white citizens of that state, were arrested by the prosecution law during a recent hunting trip (the party having liquor when apprehended), endowance of pre-war and pre-Volostol liquor when apprehended, endowance of pre-war and pre-Volostol boeing on hand to the colored cook. pulling off this stunt the governor and, his hunting associates were merely running true to Southern form, where it had long been the scapegoat for numerous offences common after public charging that their colored servant was the possessor of this supply of whiskey, it seemed that the rude man became conscious of the wrong rude men were perpetrating upon their two or three of them finally decided to attack and make blood on the law enforcement officers did not put much credence in the white hats of the ownership of the liquor, and the fact that it was hardly probable that such fugitive, under such circumstances, capacity in Alabama would own such five liquor, under such circumstances, up against it in presenting a preexcitement or preexcitement for the good old man. The colored brother in the South, in many instances, is against the black man's little license or damned if he does'n't; and, since the black man's little license or damned if he does'n't, in a Dixie court, the colored brother only pennies the penalty for some crime If the governor of a state, who is recognized as an outstanding religious leader and rightousness, will resort to such measures as the court's mandate for an alleged violation of the law, what can we expect from others who desire ideals and high principles which the chief executive of the state is to advocate for, now without public affronts to them toaken their anis and crimes to take their own life, but pretetting the question that the black man is inherently criminal, vicious and AN APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE.

HOBART TAYLOR, LEADING FIELD, IS TRIP WINNER Represents the National Benefit Life in Philadelphia at Sequential-Centennial Congress HOBART TAVLOR, manager ordinary department of the National Benefit Life insurance Company for South Texas Washington, D. C.-A signal honor was recently won by Hobart Taylor, the outstaffed the insurance salesman of the Lone Star State. Early summer the National Benefit Life Insurance, Company of Washington, D.C., announced that it would award a free trip to Philadelphia, to its Sequential-Centennial Congress to the two leaders in ordinary insurance production, covering a period of three months. Mr. Taylor, who has not only managed that company's ordinary salesmen throughout South Texas, but who has also led all of its national throughout the United States in personal ordinary production, decided that he should represent the National Benefit Life insurance company. On November 15th Mr. Taylor left Houston for Philadelphia, returning home just in time to spend Thanksgiving with his family. His many friends are showing unusual interest in his reports of this rather unusual trip, which included an extended visit to his company's home office at Washington, D.C., where he replied to President R. H. Rutherford's welcome address for all the delegates. Many Texans are taking much pride in the achievements of Mr. Taylor. He is the son of Jack Taylor, of Wharton fame. He is "a chip off the old block." Many know him as "Hobart Taylor," famous football and baseball player and captain at Paul Quinn and Pratrie View colleges. Native ability, harnessed to specialized training in life insurance salesmanship, and driven by an indomitable will to succeed, has enabled Mr. Taylor to stand alone among life insurance salesmen of our racial group throughout the nation since his first year in the business. He has built up a large clientele because he gives a maximum personal service at minimum cost. The National Benefit Life has one of Texas' most promising sons in Hobart Taylor.

Dr. Johnson, the new president of Howard University, said at the White House: "Howard University was established in 1867 by a man who had been a soldier and who was not content to see the four million of American Negroes physically free from bondage—he also desired to see them intellectually and spiritually emancipated. During the 60 years of its existence, the United States was not in unswerving view of the desires and ideals of this noble man. Little by little it has grown in students, in faculty, in equipment, in friends, in standards, and in power, until today it is the one class A university organization in the United States ministering directly to the needs of the colored people. Last year its registration reached the total of 2,165 students receiving college or university training. In the whole of the United States, 70 of these students it gave instruction in teaching, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, music, domestic arts, architecture, law, religion, etc. President Cooley expressed, to the two officials of Howard University the need to work the institution to do and the general willfulness to offer every encouragement position.

Coolidge Explains Stand On Federal Constitution; Senate Plans Fireworks BONDING FIRM LOSES CASE TO TEXAS MASONS Through the vigilance and per- sistence of the Hon. Wm. M. Mc- Donald, the bonding company has fi- nally settled by compromise the case. The case, which was not the lowest and highest courts of Texas, This company has made several of- fers of compromise at several different times, which he has often reje- d and is seeking a new break with $11,500 which Mr. Mc- Donald, after conditions of expense were so arranged that the grand lodge would be in better condition through the possession of this money for the holding of the reversals and new trials, with the possible weakening of our chances to win the cause because of the death of witness, illness and the possible illness or death of the leading attor- gets. Having the case, accepted these terms. There was another reason, which we hope is remote, the possible death of the Hon. Wm. M. McDonald, the only man anywhere who knew the case. He was not a man who and upon whom, alone, more than any one else, depended the successful ending of the case in the grand lodge's favor. While his fighting blood was still at fever heat, and yet conscious that he was still in the 'just, it was only after some reasoning and persuasion by others interested in the case that this was the best course to pursue, that he agreed to compromise. "He only was to be a strife with which this strong company could continually appeal the case to the supreme court, without weighting it, and the same term, delayed ten or twelve years because he was not a man who could prepare and hand down a decision; or he or his attorney or both might be detained through illness, or pass off the stage of action, as in this last case just a few hours of the case, and that he had a leading attorney, who had alone fought successfully the case for fifteen years, was too ill to manage the case for which reason the courts do not grant a contumance, as in the recent case He has proved to the jurisdiction and others who knew of the case that he was a defendant in the case him from doing his righteous duty when once he was convinced his cause was vigorously contended until victory was proved in all contents in which his vision is clear, the means of success can be brought to bear at any secret. Long live the Hon. Wm. M. McMenah, the fighter of fights! the man who was a hero.

C.—President Coolidge's annual message to congress, before the American people now for discussion, brought out with emphasis a number of important facts. These facts, read in the light of an exclusive interview with the official White House spokesman, by the Associated Negro Press, gives to colored America, disappointed and skeptical politically (as the spokesman was frankly advised), a slant on the chief executive's slant of thinking. This interview was held several days prior to the presentation of the message, and the day prior to the official visit of President Johnson and Secretary-Treasurer Emmett J. Scott of Howard University. The passage with reference to the Negro was discussed. Then, the spokesman let it be known that in the thinking of the term "American," the president very definitely includes all American citizens without any distinction. He referred to the term "American," and was also mentioned as a professional attainments, and law enforcement. He stated to The Associated Negro Press that he regards the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Number 91, Tunkegee, Ala., as a fine gesture for recognizing professional attainment, and the hope that through this channel larger and better-known efforts come to the Negro. This proposition was made by the President's message to the people in the present year. This quotation from the president's message is more than significant for the particular thing referred to. The White House spokesman advised that the president should not be so much as to be a "fiduciary" in mind the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, as well as any other. The quotation "The people do not like the amendment, some do not like any parts of the constitution, some do not like any of it. Those who do not like any of it are not the same as perfect right to seek through legal methods for a change. But for any reason, the people do not like each part of the constitution as they like." This quotation was not the same as the statement of the break down all protection of life and property and destroy the American system of ordered liberty. President Coolidge visualizes all Americans, as chief executive, but in his own words, "Colored America is one of patient, measured, caution, to a degree, sympathetic, to a degree, open on state issues." This writer observes him from many interviews, and hearing him talk with officials on state issues in "opportunity" for the Negro, but certainly not very far ahead of curricula. He is willing to accuse, but seldom indicted to initiate. Thus, colored Americans very well knows it, but will not alter his conservative New England course.

There promises to be some real fireworks in the senate of the United States from now on, and out of it colored for America may get a long look for hearing on disfranchisement in the House of Representatives. The statement may be made that the move is "political." That may be true, but the records show that Negroes of America have made all their political progress by "political expedency." This includes the abolition of slavery, the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the 18th constitutions, and so on down the line. Therefore, if the long neglected subject of Negro disfranchisement in the South gets in the public ear and eye because an effort is being made to keep republican senators from functioning, as decreased by the people, in the South, the State, the Government, Illinois and Indiana, the object desired will be reached. Senator Reed, who is one of the few republican senators with initiative and leadership, advised the Associated News, "Reasons for an interview with the Senate." He says some of the conditions in the South. He said: "Why, I have discovered several counties in the South where there is not a single republican vote." He requested the people throughout the South to send any information they may have on election conditions to him in Washington. He stated that the United States Senate, Washington, D. C. There is open uneasiness about this situation, and senators like Rilease, South Carolina; Harrison, Mississippi; Heflin, Alabama, and others, who have fallen into their lofty seats by the carefully planned scheme of "one way voting," are said to be seriously discussing the Reed move.

All such people can stop worrying and start to smile and enjoy life right now for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets which any druggist will tell you all about, fa putting flesh on hosta of skinny folks every day. One woman, tired, weak and discouraged, put on 15 pounds in five weeks and now feels fine.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1926 SCHOOL BOARD AND "NIGGER" FOLK SONGS! The feature of the memorial program was the eulogy by Bill H. P. Carter, the full text of which follows: The Informer has been besieged with complaints and protests from colored citizens of Houston, who resent the attempted humor in a news story appearing in a local daily sheet, last Tuesday, concerning the colored chorus at the Jack Yates Colored High, directed and trained by Prof. J. Will Jones, a nationally recognized musician and musical authority. Exalted Ruler, Brother Bills, and you who have come to this lodge of sorrow to pay respect to those Bills who have passed into the great beyond, and sing in harmonious accord with us the words of the martial strain, "On fame's eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread, and glory guards their solemn mounds, the bivouas of the dead." We wish to state to you that we have gathered here this afternoon to show to the world that Elkdom does not forget. Though we must all pass over into the great beyond at the allotted time, we will continue to live in the hearts of true brothers. This anti-Negro publication, which always goes out of its way to poke fun at, ridicule and caricature the colored race (thereby playing to the riffraff and hi poliol of the white race), stated that Jones had "orders" to only teach the "young Negroes to sing the old favorites in the old-fashioned way", and added that E. E. Oberholzer declared that this course is proving popular. I feel that it is incumbent upon me to state that in standing here I occupy no position as minister or priest. I am simply allotted a few minutes to express Gibraltar's opinion as to how well we respected our deceased brethren who have been called from our ranks during the year of 1926. If I should say anything of moral admonition to you, it comes not from my moral superiority over you, but from the depths of my experience. It seems but yesterday that each of our lamented brothers was going about his daily duties among us, busy with their tasks. Some of them have gone far up the ladder of success, have actively played well their parts in the struggles for existence, and have done well in their chosen professions. But Kirkdom does not regard a man for his worldly wealth or honors he may have achieved. Money can not purchase real fellowship. We did love our friends and we shall still love them for their purely human qualities and for their manhood. Concerning a visit of the school board and its head to Yates High last Monday and the singing of the students, this daily sheet hurried the following insult at the colored citizens and its large number of colored readers: "These white folks have come down to hear you niggers sing; git on that platform and sing," and they did as their leader (meaning either Prof. Jones or Principal James). If no reporter of this white afternoon daily was present at Yates High on this occasion to "cover" this singing, then some member of the school board or the superintendent of the public schools undoubtedly gave this newspaper this ridiculous and scandalous "news story," which cast such a unsavory and distasteful reflection and asperation upon the intelligent colored citizens of Houston; and these citizens are incensed that such a base statement and false representation of the best in their race should be published in any newspaper as a deformity in the character of the students in general and Prof. Jones, Principal James D. Ryan. Yates faculty and students in particular. Both Jones and Ryan are educated, cultured, high-class Christian citizens and gentlemen. Prof. Jones is a recognized musical leader of no mediocre ability (having served as dean of the college and, when any newspaper or individual, black or white, puts such words and sentiments in his mouth, that paper or person is not only making an amateurish attempt to be funny, but it or he is making an "ass" of itself or himself, and proving itself or himself to be a charitable member of the Anxious Association, who accuse him of employing ante-below language and cutting such capers just to amuse "de white fokes" and show up his own student body and race! Negro takes unwanted pride in the singing and preservation of his folk songs and Dixie melodies, but he does not like the idea of singing them, even to white school boards and superintendents of public schools, just to be made the butt of some cub reporter or school official who endevors to substitute wit for brains. The Houston school board or superintendent of public schools does not openly disavow and repudiate any connection with, or responsibility for this pseudo-humorous "news item," then the only honorable course for Prof. Jones to pursue is to resign his post at once; and in such action he (Prof. Jones) will be backed by every free-thinking, unfettered, untrammelled, forward-looking citizen in Houston, Texas, the South and the nation. That's that! It was not so with our deceased and fallen brethren, and we had seconded it to accept both victory and defeat. We had seconded it to accept both victory and defeat and came to accept our rules and regulations without dissension. One of our from their line that they believed in was that they should be to a higher degree by the words of Longinus. Furthermore, do boards of education and public-school superintendents merely visit colored schools to hear "nigger songs" sung and acted by the colored children? If the Houston board of education has not seen the wisdom or necessity of placing certain limitations and restrictions upon the type and class of music to be taught the white children in the school system, the board arrogate unto itself the authority to prescribe and outline a certain brand of "im-crow" music for colored children? For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years. And the smile that is worth the homage of worth. We have no particular objection to singing Negro folk songs, jubilees, spirituals and plantation melodies (for our people are the only singers in the world who can really sing these songs), but we hold to the belief that our voices are free and our "personal property," and that no man or set of men have any right to sing in the school system, even a school board or titlehead of the public school system. in the smile that will shine through "tears." I realize that there are in this city many organizations that are right concession of our organization, but they are not found in any other similar organization of that kind that makes us love to be in them. I did not fully agree with all the one I found that made me love to be in them, but not on business and pro-community that made me love to be in them. I find expression in friendship. I find life in friendship. Let us as its try to ask for that kind of expression in friendship. Let us as its try to ask for that kind of expression in friendship. The Informer, speaking for the colored citizens of Houston and the patrons of the colored public schools, objects strenuously and viciously to any iron-clad edict, even from the school board, that forces colored public school children to sing only one class of music; if the board persists in this position, then it were not the local public department recently inaugurated in the local public schools. As we pay tribute to these departed blethren, let us remember that there is no appeal for relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom and whither is a day have no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsgo. Men seldom think of the great event, death, until the shadow falls across their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the face of loved ones whose living smile With "jim-crow" public school buildings, "jim-crow" street cars and buses, "jim-crow" railroad accommodations, "jim-crow" livestock facilities, "jim-crow" practices and institutions, we should balk and call a halt when it comes to "jim-crow" music in the public schools of Houa- ALPHONSE WILLIAMS, Shoe Basketball coach at Ubucity's 315 Main Street, says "Parents, Santa Claus has again established his headquarters at Busucity, and you should just behold the wonderful assortment of shoes this favorite of the kiddo has brought to Buckley's.
