In its issue of Saturday, January 8, 1927, the People's Mouthpiece of Austin, owned and edited by Rev. M. M. Haynes since January 3, 1920, announced that publication of said paper would be suspended indefinitely with that issue, and that the editor would devote his efforts hereafter wholly and solely to the "preaching of the gospel of the Son of God." Thus the colored newspaper fraternity of Texas, the South and the republic loses one of its stalwart, courageous and fearless defenders of truth and righteousness, and Austin and its contiguous territory will be minus of a race journal that has literally blazed the trail for seven years. For fully 17 years Rev. Haynes has been in the newspaper business in Texas, serving as editor of the Herald.

NEGRO LEADER WILL ADDRESS WHITE GROUP Marshall, Texas—President M. W. Dewey of Wilcox College, has been invited to deliver an address before an organization of white social workers in Houston, during the spring on "Negelian Democracy." He will endeavor to present the most striking phases of Negro social, economic and cultural affairs and opportunities of other people to determine whether there is in fact a case against the race because of natural and inherent shortcomings. He is making a careful comparative study of the data on various race groups under as nearly similar conditions as can be found for given periods. This will be the first instance of the kind happening in Texas where a woman of color is made a white organization of like character; and should have a wholesome effect in promoting sound race relations. President Doean is a man of sober character and is remarkable educational insight. He is respected by both groups for his practical and intellectual relationship.

Crawford and Mrs. R. B. Hudson. A legislative committee was appointed to promote the plan for a school for delinquent girls. The facts about education, health, and other conditions were brought to the attention of the Congress, and were discussed at length. Resolutions were adopted, calling attention to the fact that the amount expended for the education of white children in Alabama is $19.64 per child as against the cost of the education of white children to be provided for every 44 white children of school age, and one for every 102 Negro children; that the amounts expended for buildings and equipment are more than six times as compared to the cost of the education of white children. The colored, and other provisions in proportion. The committee declared its belief that "the fair-minded people of Alabama would not approve of these conditions were they conversant with the facts, and declared themselves to be not appropriate for the public, to interview county superintendents and boards of education in the interest of a more equitable distribution of school funds, and to endeavor to secure Rosenwald schools. The resolutions pointed out the fact that "there are at all times in the South 450,000 or more Negroes who are unable to work as a result of disease, most of it preventable, constituting both a grave public peril and a vast economic loss," and pledged the group to seek in every way to improve health conditions by striving for "better clinical service, more adequate hospital facilities, and additional public health nurses."

RACES CO-OPERATE IN FLOOD RELIEF; AID BOTH GROUPS General Improvement of Condftions Nashville, Teen--Reports of increasing interracial good will and of the steady improvement of conditions featured the annual meeting of the State Teachers' Day. Representative men and women to the number of seventy-five were present from all parts of the state; without a dissenting voice expressing gratification with the process made especially striking were the reports of improved school facilities for NPGs including the building of many new Rosenwald schools, stimulated largely through the efforts of Robert B.

There was much favorable comment on also the fine co-operative spirit present in the recent flood which drove some 8,000 people from their homes, many of whom were in the group had worked together in the utmost harmony for relief of the flood sufferers, and that reason contributed by the community, were carried out with acupuncturists fairness and the group was one suggesting to the city administration that in rehabilitation to improve radically many of the housing conditions from which the poorest The committee pledged itself to work for a school for feeble-minded Negroes, and recommended that local committees throughout the state seek to provide proper recreational facilities for colored children, since such facilities "serve as a great crime deterrent, as well as a promoter of good health." All the churches and religious groups were admonished to give more attention to the cultivation of interracial goodwill as a religious duty. Gratitude was expressed for the support given to the committee's program by the leading newspapers of the state, and particularly for their vigorous editorials against lynching. Will W. Alexander, director of the general interracial commisison, was present and made a strong appeal for the final eradication of lynching, pointing out the part which the pulpit, the press, and individuals might play in bringing this about. Among the prominent colored leaders present were Bishop I. B. Scott, Prof. W. J. Hale, Dr. J. A. Lester, Dr. C. V. Roman, and Mrs. M. L. Crosthwaite of Nashville. Dr. R. T.

The present case on which the N. A. A. C. P. has been working since September, concerns Jim Davis, a colored tenant farmer, 52 years old, living in Fairfield County, S. C., who shot and killed a white man, notorious for his shooting of Negroes, who had come to take the colored man's two young daughters. L. G.

P. national office and is appealing the conviction of the colored farmer. The N. A. A. C. P. on October 11, 1926, sent its check for $250 to cover the printing of the record and the other necessary costs incident to the appeal. Mr. Southard telegraphs the appeal will be argued January 10, 1927. The facts in the case, as recited in the appeal to the state supreme court, are as follows: NEGRO DIVISION ENDORSES JOHNSON'S ACTIVITIES HERE ON INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE Jim Davis had never before been in trouble of any kind. He had two youthful daughters who had been clandestinely taken from his home, and two boys, who kept the girls in Columbia and then Greenwood, Returning them after some days to their home.

The boys were working in a nearby road camp gang constructing a public bridge that the road camp broke up and boys planned to remove the girls when the road camp broke up and the man, J.

Informed of this, Jim Davis refused let the girls go. He informed the girls that he would not from outside the house but he would not let them enter his house again, but from outside the house he did not propose to let his girls go to live in a road at this time Jim Davis white landlord, G.

Chapman SIR JOHN RAYMOND the Northwestern mounted police, for all of types of men who are out of their element, and unaggressive man counts easily first. But Dunn had a hankering after the military life when he went out to war. Now he was in for several years, and curing his luck daily. What now, he put his patrols up in the Big Lake country. He had met Marie Dufour then, the daughter of an old trapper who had been beastly, before the march of civilization. He had seen her three times before he was understood that when he became a corporal he was to speak to her nanny. But the coveted strips would never be his so long as Sergeant Mitchell remained in the squadron. An ardent supporter of made Dunn's life wretched. He inspected his uniform with an eagle eye that discovered the smallest spear or knife on trivial charges; in short, he did his best to break Dunn or for him It was a long time before Dunn discovered that Mitchell had met Marie Dunn and coveted her beauty. When Dunn understood this he privately received that some day he would even present he remained quiet in barracks during his duty and suffering at Newport, and was making the quiet life was interrupted by one of those periodical excitements that descended upon the barracks at Newport. He was at Newport, and was making for the Big Lake country. Mitchell was able to take two troopers and get him. It was a journey of two hundred miles in a slowly period of spring. But the police vengeance when it can avoid it, and never abandon it. It imagines what it was that impelled Mitchell to select him along with Crum. Perhaps Mitchell was in Marie's presence, so as to be more sure of his bearings. Whatever the motive he selected Dunn, and he was He found fault with him during the long and painful day marches, with the man of riding. He detailed him on one-man fatigues in the daytime, and gave him all the difficult work. In the back of his mind that he would get even with Mitchell hardy assumed any tangible form. They reached the store at Big Lake. Their visit was a complete surprise. Black Dae夫 had been in the back of his mind, entirely wrong as he off guard. Mitchell accepted that he had made no purpose in which it would be impossible for him to walk northward into the barren. "We'll spend the night at Johnny Dorker," he said to Crum, as the man of riding. Dumn's heart sank when he off-dressed. Marle was directly in the doorway to greet the visitors, and her Dumn's friend from her Dumn's face to Mitchell. "Take my horse to the stables!" "Commanded Mitchell, candy." And, "I'll go to the barren." They're well groomed before you come in. Dumn was obediently, riding him as he heading the two others. Now he began to understand, he thought, the reason why Mitchell had selected him. He wanted to humiliate At supper Mitchell kept up a crossfire of chaff, banter and spitfulness, directed at Dunn. Dunn's acquiescence seemed to enrage him. He would have welcomed a chance either for a brawl or for punishment for in-discipline; but Dunn only sat silently, watching Marie furtively, while the sergeant's eyes were alight with triumph. He felt that he had won, had shown Marie his superiority over Dunn. They retired to their bunks. They were to start up the trail at daybreak, on the quest for Black Doe. Dunn slept fitfully; he was thinking of Marie, and his heart was full of passionate resentment. He was the first up, and went to groom the horses. As he came back to the shack, he heard Mitchell's voice and the girl's behind the open door. Mitchell had his arm round her waist and was drawing her toward him. Crum was nowhere in sight. Then Dunn knew what he meant to do. He creed back very deity to the stable and loaded his rifle. He took it in his arma, carrying it as a mother might her first born, and approached the door again. Mitchell held the girl in his arma now, and she was struggling as he tried to kiss her. Dunn, aiming deliberately, was conscious of the open door at the back of the shack, and a clump of dwarf fir about a hundred yards distant. Then he concentrated his attention upon Mitchell. Carefully he drew a bead on him so as to avoid hitting the girl. Bang! Mitchell leaped into the air, fung out his arms, and pitched head foremost. Dunn stepped into the shack. There was no need to look more than once at the dead face, or the blood oozing from the heart. Marle ran to Dunn, sobbing wildly. "You did right, the beast!" she cried. "Come with me," said Dunn. They raced to the stables, and in a moment he had freed the horses, saddled them, and placed her on the sergeant's. In another moment they were galloping across the barrens. At the time Dunn was conscious of wondering where old Dufour and Crum were. But a moment later they heard abouts behind them. They galloped frantically forward, anywhere, so long as they could win free. Crum was a man of resolution, and Dunn knew that he would take up the chase and never leave it. He reckoned on the fact that Crum's horse was the slowest of the three. The freshly falling snow would hide their tracks if they could win the country across the river bed, where a series of hummocks swelled into the big lake mountains. Far behind him Dunn heard a shout. He turned and looked back as he rode. Crum was standing at the door of the stable, waving his arms to him. A few minutes later Dunn, looking back, saw Crum mounted and in pursuit of them, a tiny figure upon a tiny horse. They roge madly for the dip toward the river. “We must be careful,” said Marie, as they began the descent. “The rocks are dangerous.” Even as she spoke her horse tripped on a projecting bowlder, stumbled, and flung her face downward upon the hard bed of the frozen stream. Dunn beaped from his horse and kneeled beside her. She had been stunned by the fall; she opened her eyes and looked about her half-conscious. The horse scrambled to its feet, ran up the bank, and raced back toward the stable, followed by Dunn's horse. And Dunn, kneeling at Marie's side, knew that chance had settled his particular problem. And in the distance Crum came on inexorably. Dunn shrugged his shoulders as one who has played his last card. He carried the girl up to the top of the bank and waited for Crum, who came galloping up on his horse. He flung himself to his feet, panting, like his steel. “What’s the matter with you, to play this crazy trick after killing him,” he shouted. “Punning�all,” “guesses you’re right, Crum,” he said. “I’ll walk. You can trust me.” Crum, staring at him in apparent peekiness, lifted Marie to the saddled boot and swooled again. Then he rode slowly toward the back cabin, with Dunn walking a little distance in front of him. He turned his horse away when the stable, and went toward the little patch of stunted trees that had been cut out to mount when he raised his rifle. Dunn saw the motionless body of a man lying hidden among them. "How did you get him, Dunn?" asked Crum, discounting and turning the body over. "See! He and just fired. You were in the sick of the dead. Mr. fingers were clutched about the trigger; the rifle had been discharged; over his heart Crum, unable to speak, accompanied Crum back to the shock. Mitchell lay where he had fallen, and old Dunn was standing over the corner, as if he did not understand. "He got poor Mitchell a second before you fired," said Crum. "Over the Dunn looked in horror now mixed with agitation. It was that track of movement under the rib. The mistlety lay upon the floor beside the insert man. It was a dark, shiny surface. Dumn's bulb had been a 300. And it had been black Dumn who he had. Increasing Use Made The rapid growth of the castor oil plant has been proverbial.

People naturally choose a balanced ration. Things go well together. We have many foods do not go well together; and while occasionally the young cook has many sweets, too many acids, or too many starches, she soon finds that they do not make a hit and change "So I just let my family eat natural, without much thought of vitality, and I don't do anything that do instate on, and that is at least one green vegetable a day.

It was a pathetic sight, that cake.

False teachers would arise within the church and lead astray sentimental and unsuspecting people as neurotic women. People professing godliness would deny its power by godliness living. So awful will this condition be that those who live godly lives shall suffer persecution. Paul's own life of suffering was an example of what fidelity and testimony would bring. In the last days he predicts that this attitude on the part of these false teachers would be intensified, for evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse. In the face of such trying circumstances Paul exhorts Timothy. 1. To remain steadfast, to abide in the eternal truth which had been given to Jesus. 2. He ensures it that though trying times would come and violent storms of opposition would beat heavily upon Jesus, he will give Him an abdication, unshaken foundation. 3. The Holy Scriptures will abide even when Jesus is unshaken away; therefore the necessary thing to abide in them. 4. He is entrusted by the Word of God was sufficient for the perplexing and trying times through which he was to pass (v. 10). The Word of God was found in no other place. This wisdom, as all true wisdom, leads to Jesus Christ, who gives salvation. 5. The Word of God (v. 16). 6. Here means "God bribed." Because of this fact they should be held with confidence. 7. Abiding in the Scriptures will perfectly equip the minister for his work (v. 17). **How Jesus Saw Men** 1. He saw men and no ones; either on the narrow or on the broad way; either a good tree or a bad tree; either a wise or a foolish person or against Him—Jerusalem. The quality of the service is the measure of the result. It is not length of service, but intensity of complaints that tell-R. 2 Campbell. SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ATLANTA LIFE INSURANCE CO.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish.

PRAIRIE VIEW ALUMNI STAFF HOLDS MEETING PRAIRIE VIEW ALUMNI STAFF HOLDS MEETING Prairie View, Texas — The executive staff of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College Alumni Association met at the college January 19, 2022, at 10 a.m. to present a report, P. Do. Walt, president, P. Do. Walt, vice president, P. T. Tatum, treasurer, and Napoleon B. Eardward, executive secretary. The executive staff discussed matters pertaining to the alumni association and considered the need for a committee to assist in promoting the best interest of their alma mater. G. O. Sanders was appointed to drive the constitution for the association and the date for the annual meeting to be held in May. The committee discussed were Prairie View's relation to the University of Texas oil lands, the college's role in the standard colleges of other states, and the proposed Houston extension scheme. A special meeting was held with Dr. W. R. Banks, principal of the college, who discussed a series of queries. Dr. Banks discussed freely and frankly each question submitted to the college under his administration. The college with the authorities of the college in the expansion and development of the college was BISHOP ELEVEN LOST HARD TILT TOP.V. PLAYERS Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 1, 1927—The Prairie View Panthers triumphed over the Bishop Bears here today 9 to 6, in a hard fought and well played contest that furnished thrill after thrill to the 3000 enthusiastic fans who witnessed it. The game was hard fought throughout and it was not known until the final gun shot which way the victory would go. The flashy Panthers kicked off to Blackburn on the ball on a fumble on the Bears' 29-yard line. Coach Perry, who had started the game with his second string, rushed in 7, varsity huskies to check the onslaught, but this meant nothing to Pollard, Turner and Mark, for after several line plunges Mark plunged through center for 14 yards and laid the ball over the goal line. Turner kicked goal. The third quarter was played in the middle of the field. Posey, fleet and flashy half back for the Beavons, carried from the game with a bad ankle and from then on Bishop lost her offensive power. During the fourth quarter Prairie View annexed an additional two points to her score when Brown fumbled a high punt from Turner and was downed behind his goal line. Ideal weather prevailed and the game was well attended, being a society event for the Oil City.���tained, to a marked degree, a very high grade of scholarship throughout the autumn quarter. Never before in the history of the school has there been an eventful and important football career on was thus once experienced the past season. The Samuel Hinson "Dragon" at the close of the season were mobilized to the undefended champions of the Southwest Conference. This soft inevitability was directed by Coach William S. Taylor, Lincoln University, who has succeeded and excellent supervision, led the boys to that much caveted goal. W. R. B.

(Editor's note: The Coleridge-Taylor Church Club, South's premier music center, rendered a program in Moe Hall on Music, 4525 Fannin Street. Proof, Thursday night, and the following night, and the following night was written by Mr. Hammond for the music, which only used part of it.) Moe Hall was filled to standing room and as many more turned away on Thursday evening, building on Thursday evening a long-lent program given by the Coleridge-Taylor Church Club, a club composed of 18 cultivated Negro musicians—sixteen of whom were singers with a dilemma. The program was well balanced, each group followed by something of a different nature from Negro spirituals, comic, concert and operatic numbers. The program was especially good with the Dr. C. B. Johnson in his model. Mead兰森, A. D. Marvel, B. M. I. Bancs-Robertson and J. M. B. Plummer plained in the splendid song of the beautiful song, "I Pans By Your With a well-rounded bass voice J. R. Grigsby gave the delightful "Old Black Joe," with a humming accompaniment, Mrs. Vera T. Hughes, a pupil of Madame Barolet, accompanied by her sister, gave the dafty "Come Back, Villette." The violin solos of Dr. L. M. Mitchell were given in a broad swinging style that won his hearers from the start. The coloratura work of Mrs. H. M. Middleton in "The Wren," called for two encores. The program was given in a dignified manner that won for this excellent musical organization many new and warm friends. C. F. Richardson gave a snappy introduction of each member in a manner that gave the audience many chances for a real laugh. He handles his lines in a most pleasing manner. All of the members hold positions of influence and responsibility amongst their race. The club was asked by a delegation from the audience to give another concert. It was the largest gathering I have ever seen at such a musical event in the 10 years I have resided in Houston. Director Praises Club Pianist. In a letter of C. F. Richardson, president of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, expressing his thanks and appreciation for the program of last Thursday evening, Director C. A. Hammond of the conservatory and Circle H Club, paid the directress-pianist of the colored club a high compliment viz. "For your director, Mrs. P. O. Smith, I have the greatest respect and praise. She is a true musician, so rare in this day of sham." At the conclusion of the program Mr. Hammond stated to the audience that "I have never heard these wonderful singers equaled, north, east, south or west." The second annual spring musical festival of this club will be rendered at City Auditorium March 3, 1927, as a benefit for the equipment fund of Houston Negro Hospital. Included on the program will be several request numbers, and those who have some favorite song that they desire the club to sing on this occasion, will make some known at once to Mrs. P. O. Smith, Fairfax 1639, or C. F. Richardson, Preston 1243—Capitol 1446. CARD OF THANKS.

The Informer has been reliably informed that W. L. Davis, "acting" principal of Gregory School—the elementary public school for colored children in the Fourth Ward—had most of his teachers sign a letter prepared by him (Davis), which in actin' the teacher was the master of the school, the master of the Houston public schools, that they were perfectly satisfied and well pleased with the physical-condition of the Gregory campus. It seems that "Little Willis" (who is known far and wide for his athletic skills with in-urban basketball and polio circles, and his athleticism has the unique record being earlier in the camp of Africa) became incarned with the editorial which appeared in The Informer under date of Saturday, January 1, 1927, captioned "Depolarize Condition of Gregory's Campus," and thus he has joined the ranks of the pussillianism, pussy-footing principals who betray and sell their race for a position of principal. He has been incarned in the "plums" of site people's eyes in order to land certain "plums" and be known as rated as "good niggers," who know their place and "stay in proper place." The editor of The Informer is a patron of Gregory School, two students said school said teacher and attained Davis School, the unthinking, spineless teachers that signed Davis' immortal wrist master document have any children attending this school; it thus their interest in the children's physical welfare and well-being can not approach ours, for they are not concerned with doctor bills, shoe bills and other expenses incurred and brought to a deplorable condition as obtains in the yard of Gregory School. The Informer presumes that Davis is merely living up to his well-established reputation for changing positions and getting jobs, as he has taken a firing at numerous posts and jobs since he was a graduate student. He surprises us if "Little Wille" does not soon misinterpret the "G. P. C." ("go pick cotton" or "go plow corn") sign for the "go preach Christ" call! When the late Prof. W. F. Worsham ceased his earthly career, he was fortunate with faithful and well-qualified members of the order, Grand Master W. F. Bledsoe brought Davis from Waller County and appointed him grand secretary of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of Texas. Before the jurisdiction knew that "Little Wille" was trying to fill Gross' shoes, he had been relieved of his post because of his greatly exaggerated egotism and inherent penchant for co-operation with a chameleon and abso-lience to respect his co-operate. Even before he landed his portfolio with the U. B. F. and S. M. T. order, "Little Wille" held several jobs in different sections of the state, and he changed jobs or was fired with such painful regularity that he became known as the "black nomad." After losing his grand secretaryship with the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Davis essayed to manage the Western Star, falling heir to the job through the good graces and kind offer of the late M. M. Rodgers. His tenure of office with the Star was short-lived, and thus "Little Wille" played politics and got back on the payroll. As long as the "Crying Elder," who even yet boasts of his political tenure and sagacity (guess he is trying to work same --- The Houston Informer on business manager, superintendent and Houston school board now), was merely a teacher and not an aspirant for permanent principal of Gregory School, as a race man he was "all wool and cotton," and the political and political team is acting" (that what he is doing is a letter to H. L. Mills and the one to R. B. Morris during 1926) principan now endeavors to prostele his teachers, and employ them as stepping stones in the attainment of his selfish ambitions, and in an insidious and infernal scheme to entrench himself in the good graces of the powers-that-be in public school circles. Such demagoguery is dangerous, and stamps the person who attempts to invoke and employ it as being totally unfit and wholly unworthy for any office or position that carries with it the least bit of responsibility. The Inferner is perfectly willing to submit this matter as a referendum to the colored citizens of Fourth Ward, particularly those who have children attending Gregory School, and let them believe that this paper or "Little Willie" is right in this matter! Furthermore, in stating that the Gregory School campus, with dirt and mud piled all over the yard and the hundreds of small children being forced to crawl over and wade through this dirt and mud five days in the week, is perfectly satisfactory to him, he writes, "The fact that the endorser or approval of the utility; for neither his letter to the business manager nor the sentiment expressed therein, meets the endorsement or approval of the hundreds of patrons of this school, and the children who daily attend Gregory School; and The Informer is of the opinion that those Gregory teachers who signed this "great" document did so either through ignorance or moral cowardice, and thus all the children who attended the school would be culpable as their gray-haired, two-faced, race-betraying, double-dealing, pusillanimous, pussyfooting, political ("acting") principal! Not only does politics make strange bed-fellows and produce some odd and novel combinations, but the desire for office and its by-products often makes men cut some funny and peculiar capers from their wardrobe. The fact that the audience refuses to applaud his stunt, Selah! DOES PREPARATION COUNT FOR ANYTHING? The Informer, having always stood for both a prepared teaching profession and ministry (as these two groups of public servants directly touch and shape more lives than any other calling or calling), heard endorsed the movement inaugurated here duringly, and encouraged the teachers to better prepare themselves, by attending summer schools and doing post-graduate work, to render more efficient and proficient service in their chosen field of human endeavor. Although this innovation in local public school circles worked a hardship upon some of the teachers, placing some of them at a distinct disadvantage when the edict went into effect, and while some of the colored teachers objected rather strenuously at the "big gate," the movement was certainly in harmony with the educational programs, and is calculated to benefit both teachers and pupils. However, The Informer is fearful that the policy of the superintendent and board in promoting certain colored teachers more because of pull than preparation, is going to discourage those teachers from participating in the program efficiently the higher and highest positions in the Houston public schools. When it became certain hot winter that Houston would have two hundred high schools, and that the principal of the Colored High would be transferred to Jack Yates, this paper stated its position regarding the type of man that the board should appoint as principal of the Colored High; and, in assuming this attitude, The Informer meant to cast no reflection upon the local educator who was then being considered and who was finally selected as principal. With another high school for colored children opening in the Fifth Ward during the latter part of this month, the Informer again contends that preparation of the work was to take preceded over pull, and the school was the fifth. We had high school should at least be on speaking terms with the subjects that are to be taught in said school. This paper believes in rewarding people for faithful service, but educational preparation should also be taken into consideration when the school is the first to be held in the second year. When the board of education of Dallas got ready to select a principal for the colored high school, a nationwide search was made to secure the best man possible for the position, and not only to the man who has been selected as principal of college� school but to the school of the school in one of the leading universities of America, and ranks as one of the leading educators of the state, section- and country. We do not mean by this that there are no colored teachers or principals of the school on public schools prepared for the press at the 19th World War and the high school, but we do not mean to emphasize the fact that the man's or woman's preparation and fitness should be considered, rather than his or her "pull" and influence with the superintendent and school board; for heaven knows that you are in our race is already afflicted with a chronic case of the calamity. In this connection, some Negroes who are not worth the salt that goes into their bread, have more "pull" with certain white people than some of the most intelligent, thrifty, honest and sub-handic amusees of the school. The situation is exist in the colored public schools of Houston will be disastrous and calamitous both to students, teachers and the system. Furthermore, it is a sad state of affairs when some colored cook, chambermaid, janitor or yardman has more influence in certain local circles and whose word will go farther in landing a position as teacher or principal for some colored aspirant or canteen worker. It is also a matter of substantial members of our race, who know the qualifications of these aspirants and candidates, and who have the proper conception of the type of man or woman who should be employed to teach our children. This paper has no candidate for principiality of the Fifth Ward colored high school, which plans to open January 31, 1927, but this paper is intensely interested in the type and calibre of teachers and principals in charge of the educational training and intellectual development of colored children, both here and elsewhere. This paper has no fight to wage in any of our colored principals, and we hope that none of them will misconstruer and misinterpret this discussion; but we are very much concerned about the preparation and qualifications of those who shall be appointed to OPINIONS IS THE RACE PROBLEM AN ECONOMIC ONE, AND CAN IT BE SOLVED BY ECONOMICS? If we must rely upon wealth to solve the race problem, we must quite clear that the Negro is not now, nor is likely to be the first future, to be the first future of the family, if they are not in the right to be the first right to be based upon wealth, then the man who has the most wealth would command the most rights. According to this scheme of apportioning the income to the man who has the most rights, the men who are not in the right to be the most well-being. Negroes. Beyond the necessities of a decent livelihood, the Negro's wealth is comparatively insignificant, and is likely to remain so as far ahead as we can do in the future. In the case of an unemployed family, for the production of wealth Aggregated capital is monopolizing a larger share in the development and exploitation of material things. The Negro has to be the most efficient of the future. The capital is not as much as the income of the family. The capital misjudgment of the game on the score of race prejudices. The capital misjudgment of the game on the score of race prejudice. Booker T. Washington was his often expressed belief that when the Negro was not the most important part of the income of the family, he was not as much as that must be bought with money is no respect at all. If the Negro owned the mortgages on white men's homes, in the present inflamed state of racial homogenization, he would be more than money will solve the race problem, when by clear observation, we see that it lies at the root of most of the inharmonies of the world today? The world war was the outgrowth of the competitive struggle. The world war was the outgrowth of the world and the disputed balance of debit and credit. Capital and labor, those who have and those who have not, are at each others' throats all over the world. Every individual who has not had his own income has to be a person who has not, and he has to be a person who has not. In which the money motive must be supplanted by the services motive before we can hope to bring about peace on earth and good will among men. The men who are not in the place will be the most unhelpful. The men who are not in the place will be the more are the rare and fortunate exceptions. We have before us the sad speech of the black men who are not in the place. We have before us the sad speech of the men, but who too often bring themselves and their daped victims to grief. Every reader of this article can count ministers of the gospel who have brought disbelief upon themselves and scandal upon the church by the math The fundamentally weak point in the doctrine of socialism is that it overestresses the importance of the economic factor. Let the Negro acquire all the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the respectable and live decent. Let him accumulate capital and engage in the prejudice will permit. But never let him indulge the vain delusion that money will solve the race problem. Men will not胜过 the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without money. such positions hereafter; and, where the superintendent and school board ignore and override the will and wishes of our people, it should not be surprising nor alarming when they become putrid and should not be surprised to wrinkles and schemes of the gutter-snip politicians and warheads after landing such sinecure positions. Finally, if scholastic preparation and educational training are to disguise colored teachers when it comes to landing principal positions, it should not be surprising to wrinkles and schemes of the gutter-snip politicians and warheads after landing such sinecure positions.
