In science and philosophy we have two forces known as centrifugal and gravitational. We fly away from the center, to move outward; while the latter means to fly away from the center, to move outward. Judging from our race disposition to fly apart on the most filmic pretension and often for no reason, we have many of us are actuated and motivated by the centrifugal force. College students are educated or organization—commercial, fraternal, educational, civil, religious or political. We are not only motivated by our prominence, our centrifugal exponents get busy to destroy, or at least to program of said movement or concern. This force has been instrumental in wreaking numerous racial organizations, and demolish many more, unless we can substitute in the same a centrifugal force. It seems to be able to unwrite law of our racial continent that as soon as a person becomes involved in a business or business concerns reaches the stage in its activities, it acts as escortes, liabilities, or it attains a promise of prominence, some centrifugal burdens will be killed by attempts to wreck a building, unassisted hades, and, by wreaking or attempting to wreck a building, underwinds to show how a undertaking, endow to show how a reality it really requires little, if any, instillation or common sense to be an individual, to understand, and to pursue the policy of flying outward or going off in a tangent.

New York—When it rains youngsters crowd the subway and elevated streets, catey "Unbruella" "Unbruella" those who, lacking a raincast of their own umbrella, wish to get home from work. Those who, guarding the umbrella to protect them on the way, then quickly return to their post at the station to wait for more customers, are well equipped to stand not only the water but the cold. They wear overcoats and sometimes rubber boots, and they hint from the police officer, they cover their heads with large-striped overcoats, and they are easily with a wide flag on the back to cover the neck and part of the shoulders. Some can afford raincoats, but others are not. They tattered overcoat, they button up to the chin for further protection. The item of the umbrella, however, has been known to resort to various tricks in order to keep the family uninjured. Once the first pattern of rain is heard on the window pane the house umbrella disappears, and so, no collar is needed. All of a sudden youthful "appointments" have to be kept; school supplies have to be bought or important items have to be packed; a mad dash for the nearest elevated or subway station, for a very essential point is to heat the others to the spot.

Russia of Today THE FRIENDS (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) ITTLE has been noticed of the real test which is going on inside Soviet Russia in recent years. The real test and theory and proclamations has filled the ears of the world. Theories have developed through the ages, and world laws universal in humanity, unwritten rules of life and trade which have developed through the ages, and world laws countries have formulated for nations. Russia is the world's largest country, and the second largest continent, and when theory and proclamation balance, the test of a new system of government will have world-wide effect. Politically, it is divided into six constituent groups; they in turn comprise 88 autonomous units, each differing from the others. Most of them have their own language, their own customs and customs, and their own culture, and comes even greater from the tribes who are as yet too backward for self-government. The villages string along the railroads and rivers all over that territory. As one rides over the SI-88, the people end. Then a person's cart is seen in the distance, the invariable dog sees, and appears other cities, nilling in them. Then a village of log houses, with perhaps a public building and a deed painted white, and the ever-present church, with its ivory Turkish chapel, with its ivory Turkish chapel, with its ivory Turkish chapel, on the corners for the four Gospel, on the corners for the four Gospel, on the corners for the four Gospel, varied only by stretches of forest or hills, which come to seem so and as suddenly as the villages. Moscow, metroplaza and capital Russia, is the largest village in the world. Moscow has its trolley cars, motor buses, motor buses, store, motor buses, and other outward metropolitan manifestations, but at heart it is a village. Lengrand, an apartment of the interior have an appearance and an atmosphere of western Europe; the heart of Russia and it changes slowly. Its brick and stones are a mosaic of the peasant villages seem to reflect age and unpollished, and slow to change. Even the unpainted log houses of the peasant villages seem to reflect age and unpollished, and slow to change. Moscow is sprinkled with what is new, but everywhere it speaks of age, history, and tradition. Interior City to battlemented monasteries on the outskirts. Broad thoroughbreads rise from its center, but the city is narrow, with sidewalls no wider than footpaths. It is wiped it away, invaders, from Tatars to Napoleon, have destroyed it, governments have come and gone, but Moscow, stubborn and dull, It is only a step from Moscow, overcrowded and teeming with its people of many races, and police to enforce them, into the wild, wide-open spaces. Wolves and bears still roam Moscow, and cold winter dust comes at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the country is under its white manses of snow, hunger THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1927 In several cities homes are maintained by the government for these young vagabonds—heritage of war and peace. They are banded by month to wander-with bath, clean cots, cheeses, food, and a caretaker to give them instruction and advice. They are cared for by the social group, too young to appreciate civic responsibility even if they had been taught it. Policies and rules are enforced by the wild, untamed children and put in the homes. The crowds show through the windows, lining in, and out of the Red Square, between a sample of venders. Baskets and clumps of little wagons are on the curb, also lined with vendors. In and fat cats, carefully sheltered under blankets, for 40 cents; stands of cigarettes, each with one and a quarter of an ounce; mouthpiece and fat mouthpiece; cut and weighed for 70 cents; cheeses, cut and weighed while you wait; candies collecting dust; no flower seeds, two cents a glass. The goal which Soviet Russia has set is to industrialize the country until it can supply its domestic needs. It is a task which has developed industry by a side side. The United States is taken as a model, not the countries of Ecuador, which have developed industry by a side side. The goal is reached, or abandoned, no war of Russia's making need be an objective. The social movement in Russia may be divided into three phases: First, to arouse the workers to a revolution; Second, to mobilize minds that they were the rulers of the country; third, to impress them that the third stage has now been reached. More and more emphasis is laid on the fact that the worker must be involved in the process of the rulership and taking. Stalin recently in one of his rare speeches declared too much time was given to the workers' rulers. As practical illustration he cited the marketing of the grain was counting 13 kopacks a good when it When summer comes, the face of nature changes like the spirits of the lake. You can walk into the winter gloom at 2 o'clock, thins the cloudless skies until 10 at night.

Truly, the business of such a group is worth going after, and our 1927 message to all advertisers is— Say It In The Houston Informer An Ad Each Week Is the Best Way to Speak OPINIONS CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS The Mirror---- The Houston Informer EDITORIALS South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper and liberty-lowing people; but when these officers risk their very lives to arrest criminals and then sentimental jurists, the newly formed corporation perpetrates the eviction of a free element is exercised overtime in an effort to pardon and release criminals even before they reach the penal institutions, little wonder is it if our peace officers become slack and lose some interest in their work. THE HOUSTON INFORMER A Published every Saturday at 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, Houston, Tex. In Tom C. Goodson, Houston has a superintendent of police who compares favorably with any chief of police in Texas or the South, and, despite the fact that he has been head of the police department during the period of Houston's marvelous and wonderful growth and expansion (a drawing card for master criminologist), he is still fairly well with such a small force and under present conditions. Recorded as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston TWZA, under the Act of March 3, 1879 A man may be a great military genius and born leader of men, but if his army is not up to the standard and man-power is not available, he can make very little headway against a superior and well-trained foe. While The Informer regrets the Milam Street killing scrape, and does not endorse the mayor's "shoot to kill" idiom, this paper is not a threat to the mayor's authority. Its attention on the numerous dives and dens flourishing within a stone's throw of the City Hall, and that, these crime incubators will be closed and padlocked for "ninety-nine years and one dark day," the report will be enlarged and rendered more efficient and proficient. SOME DESERVING TRANSFERS AND PROMOTIONS. In the transfer and promotion of Professor E. O. Smith, former principal of Washington and Harper schools, to the principalship of the new Fifth Ward colored high school, the local board of education and superintendent of the Houston public schools made an appointment and promotion that met the unqualified endorsement and wellnigh universal approval of the colored citizens of this school district. Professor Smith is recognized as an educator of no mean ability, is well prepared from an intellectual standpoint and is withal a school man of extraordinary attentions; and under his guidance the students are expected to play an important part in the educational training and literary development of the colored children who shall attend it, and are long wield its influence over the entire community and school district. 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. —ROOEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1927 The Informer does not know whether Mr. Smith was the original choice; he does not know whether the board and superintendent could hardly have made a better selection; for this paper doubts if there was another election. The Informer does not know whether the qualified and metered for it in a new post, than the new principal. REGRETTABLE INCIDENT ON MILAM STREET. The fatal shooting of a white patrolman on Milam street, last Sunday morning, by a colored man, whether the act was provoked or unprovoked, was a regrettable and deplorable incident. The Informer is not trying to sit in judgment on the case and our discussion shall deal chiefly with the contributing factors; for a cause must precede every effect. Mr. Smith has not heretofore represented nor typified that group of local mandicants and sycophants of color, who will sell books, pamphlets, and other materials; and, because of his sterling qualities and the respect both teachers, pupils and patrons have for him and the confidence they repose in his, his election to this new position was a popular appeal, and he has begun to get a hearing in the colored public schools of Houston.

"I ilva on de cornder w Wilium Lake an Clevelan Gan, yo This paper has repeatedly called attention to certain practices that are openly plied on Milam and other streets in Houston, where denizens of the underworld are permitted to do about as they please, often under police protection; particularly if these dens are operated by foreigners or certain "stool pigeons" who have a "pull" with the powers-that-be. The Informer feels highly gratified with this appointment, but he should not be at least on speaking terms with the subjects taught in his school, and not just a figurehead, looking wise and acting otherwise; and that his should be appointed because of his peculiar background. These institutions, running in open violation of the law, are crime incubators, and the surprising thing is that we have not seen any of them. Other transfers and promotions, where preparation, efficiency and attitude were given some real consideration, were also made. We do not mean to state, infer or insinuate that the colored man accused of slaying this white officer is a direct protege or product of these dives and dens; but the system that tolerates, sanctions and winks at these crime-producing institutions and joints, is indirectly responsible for this and many other crimes committed here in Houston by members of both races. Professor E. A. Chester was transferred from Independence Heights to Harper School; while Professor P. H. Holden, history teacher at the Houston Colored (Washington) High for several years, was made principal of Independence Heights School. There is a philosophy in some of our Southern communities which holds that as long as Negroes are debauched and exploited in certain quarters by certain "privileged characters," the practice can continue uninterrupted as long as the blacks do not get out of "their places" and make trouble with the whites; but lawlessness can not be confined to any one particular channel, nor do criminals exercise much discrimination, as to races, when following their criminal profession. Dr. J. G. Osborne, former principal of Prairie View State College, has been elected to fill the post at Washington High made vacant by the transfer and promotion of Professor Holden. Several other teachers in elementary schools have been promoted to the position of teacher in C. J. McDade from Gregory, P. H. Watkins from Langton, J. C. Sanderson and Mrs. H. E. Lee from Bruce, and others. The majority of the teachers assigned to this new high school have been attending school during the past summers, and thus they are now being rewarded for their faithful efforts to increase their knowledge and become more efficient and proficient teacher. A black criminal would just as soon vent his spleen upon a white citizen as a white criminal would upon a colored citizen; criminals are no respecters of persons or races, and our system of dealing with crime and criminals must undergo a complete transformation to be reduced, and our communities become and remain safe places in which to live and enjoy our inherit and sacred rights. While commending the local board of education and superintendent for these transfers and promotions, the Informer trusts that all of these principals and teachers will make good at their new business and that their transfers and promotions are deserved and merited. The Houston police department is being severely censured and vehemently criticised by some for the seeming reign of crime and the impotence of the department to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime, but the police department is victimized by an obsolete system that permits so many of the peace officers to depend largely and almost entirely on the police force, out certain crimes and bringing about the arrest of criminals. TEXAS AND NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Some weeks ago The Informer called attention, editorially, to the action of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee is president, in Texas, as the place for the 1927 session of this national organization. Consequently, when a crime is committed where these "trusted officers" are literally lit up in the air for a clue; with the result that many innocent people are often arrested in the dragnet to catch the perpetrators of these crimes, resulting in the failure to catch the suspect. We have watched the columns of the Dallas Express for the last several weeks, and we have been unable to see any mention made in our North Texas publication concerning preparations and arrangements being made to care for and entertain this gathering This situation not only obtains in Houston, but in so many of our American cities; and to combat the problem, we must have a system of our large colony of criminals, our police department must be reorganized along modern lines, even if it becomes necessary to import experts here to deal with the problem. However, it may be that we have overlooked such news items, or the business and professional men of Dallas are getting along so well that we don't need any publicity concerning their activities in this respect; but since this is the first time in the history of this national body that a Texas city has been selected as host to the national session, we are anxious to see Texas maintain its enviable reputation. Houston is not the only American city that has a crime wave which appears to have the police and constabulary officers at a distinct disadvantage; and, while this city has grown by leaps and bounds during the last few years, sufficient men have not been trained and added to the police department to successfully combat and outwit the modern-day criminals. The Dallas leaders should evolve a plan whereby the Northern and Eastern visitors (many of whom have never seen Texas and have mistaken ideas concerning this state) could make a side trip to South Texas, with stopovers in Waco, Houston, and Galveston, for no trip to the Lone Star State is compile which does not encompass heavenly Houston", the fastest growing city in the entire Southwest. Criminals have adopted new and "modern" methods nowadays in becoming their crimes and often escape; and if our police department is successfully in the trials, the forces must be recruited to "war strength" and modern methods of detection and apprehension must be invoked and embody. We would like to hear from our journalistic contemporary, Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Express, as he has worked so hard and tireless for the last few years to bring the league to Dallas and to make it a more attractive place to return to see the 1927 session of this organization a signal success. Furthermore, police and constabulary officers are human and must be encouraged and assisted in their efforts by all law-abiding and try to engineer or execute some play to bring individual story and experience to a team. A team of stars, even led by a brilliant and smart captain and trained by an expert coach, will only win by working together to the good of the team; and the moment that discipline is applied, winning ability is rendered negative or seriously impaired. Unlike typical game, and no many of our young people who learn and play this game in school, college and university, enter a refuge to put into execution a single lesson learned while playing this game. If the black race is to win its great contest or to least make a decent and successful life, we must dispense with our cultural policy and substitute in its place a institutional program. In the knowledge of the knowledge, but we are making a mighty poor knowledge, seemingly unimaginable of the fact that it is applied rather than acquired and counts in the titanic struggle of life. THANKS, GENTLEMEN! DR. BOWEN WILL SPEAK AT TRINITY NEXT WEEK The Rev. J. W. E. Bowen, Ph.D. D.
