TEXAS ELECTION STATUTE INVALIDATED 'BLACK CATS' NITE,'Odd Fellows' Temple, Monday Night, Mar.28, 8:15 P.M. BY BOOKERT. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. RED HOT STUNT! HOME EDITION THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON GOOD-BYE, FEE SYSTEM! The supreme court also called attention to the fact that the damming of a river in Texas with full force, and has held that the court's decision, which a posse complaint against the average man as a judge to forget the burden of proof required to concur, is not a valid decision, led him not to hold the balance nice, clear and true between the state and the federal government in the process of law. In the case of the supreme court "ruffled its stuff" during this week, and thus has America two new legal laws: "I-Bye-Now", primary and secondary, and "I-Bye-Now", secondary. GETTING FACTS CONFUSED. "Our City," in the Houston Chronicle, called "color off" color, an editorial discussion regarding the republican convention held at El Paso, Texas, when the Chronicle editor stated that the fight for control of the party in Texas H. R. Green, millionaire railroad manager and for years recognized leader Hon. William M. "Ooosenbill" Buck, a colonel of the Fort Worth, and that Colonel Green carried the state convention and delegates a bunch of passes, and then made it practically impossible for the convention, thereby affecting control of the party in the Lone Star State. H. R. Green carried a number of years the boss and carer of the convention, and "staged" his republican state convention at El Paso in order to leave the reader and maintain the republican convention for several years; in fact, he was not actively connected with republicans and carried his G. O. P. state power to El Paso. For a number of years (to show that he was not from Terrell, Texas), Mr. McDonald married Mr. McDonald, both of whom from Terrell, Texas), Mr. McDonald married Colonel Green, who was the directing officer of the Texas Midland railroad; and when it came to politics, whatever he and we don't mean "perhaps," such tactics to win control of the republican party in Texas, he still went up to the full requirements of citizen (Continued on Page Five) THE HOUSTON INFORMER Here are the actors who will appear in "The Third Degree," sensational, seintillating police drama, at City Auditorium, Tuesday night.

Williams, the pastor, and Aaron E. Malone, long his friend, finished the morning sermon on what Poro meant to the race, in which he condemned Malone's actions and ended with a tribute to Mrs. Malone for her accomplishment, the audience disregarded tradition and stood cheering. Rev. Williams proposed a mass meeting of St. Louis citizens to protest against the receivership and the threatened dispossession of Mrs. Malone. Paseben, accompanied by S. E. Garner, a colored attorney, who was named "attorney for the receiver," has even taken charge of the chapel services at Poro, where he lays down the gospel, perverting occasionally a Bible quotation to suit himself. Recently he said "To him who hath shall be given and to him who hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away."

C.—The United States supreme court, in a decision handed down Monday, has declared the "white man's primary" statute of Texas invalid and unconstitutional, the case having been brought before the highest tribunal in the country on appeal by Dr. L. A. Nixon, colored physician of El Paso, Texas, who was denied the right to vote in the democratic party election in his prefect on July 26, 1924. The doctor, who lost his case in every court in Texas, was suing C. C.

Juf The full text of the decision of the supreme court on the Texas election law is as follows. The plaintiff in error, v. C. H. Cordern; Charles Porr "This is an action against the judges of elections for refusing to permit the plaintiff to vote in Texas. It lays damages at $5000. The petition alleges that the plaintiff has been denied the right to vote in the States and of Texas and a resident of El Paso, and in every way qualified to vote, as set forth in detail, except to serve as a representative to ferries with his right; that on July 26, 1924, a primary election was held in Texas to elect a delegate toidates for senator and represents in congress and state and other offices; that the plaintiff, being a member of the democratic party, sought a vote in the Senate; that the denial was based upon a statute of Texas enacted May 15, 1923, of words of which "in no-event-shall Negro be eligible to participate in the election held in the state of Texas," and that this statute is contrary to the four constitutions of the United States. Objections Stated. "The defendants moved to dismiss upon the ground that the subject matter of the suit was political and not within the jurisdiction of the court and that no violation of the amendments was shown. The suit was dismissed and a writ of error was taken directly to this court. Here no argument was made on the subject of the defendants, but a brief was allowed to be filed by the attorney general of the state. "The objection that the subject matter of the suit is political is little more than a play upon words. Of course the petition concerns political action but it alleges and seeks to recover for private damage. That private damage may be caused by such political action and may be recovered for in a suit at law hardly has been doubted for over two hundred years, since Ashby vs White, 2 L. D., R. A. Y.

But although the statute is as a question, the answer does not seem to us to be a doubt. We find it unnecessary to consider the fifteenth amendment, because it seems to us hard to imagine a more direct and obvious infringement on the fourteenth. That amendment, while it applies to all, was passed, as we know, with a special intent to protect the blacks from discrimination against them. Slaughter House, Inc. v. State of Virginia, 100 U. S. 302. That amendment "not only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color, but it denied to any the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws. What is this but declaring that the law in the states shall be the same for the black as for the white; that all persons of color, whether colored or white, shall be平等, and, in the same manner as states, and, in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the amendment was primarily designed, that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color." Quoted from the last case in Buchanan vs. Warley, 245 U. S. 60, 77. See Yick Wo vs Hopkins, 118 U. S. 356, 374. The statute of Texas in the teeth of civil rights was not a "prosper state" as to forbid Negroes to take part in a primary election, the importance of which we have indicated, discriminating against them by distinction of color alone. "States may do a good deal of classifying that it is difficult to believe rational, but there are limits, and it is too clear for extended argument that it is too common for the state of a county of a statutory classification affecting the right set up in this case. Judgment reversed." The important question is whether the statute can be sustained. But although the statute is as a question, the answer does not it as a question, the answer does not.

JUNIOR MEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-IC—How We Can Spread the Gospel. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-IC—Christian Missions the Hope of the World. 1. The Great Commission (Matt. 28:16-20). 1. When and where given (v. 18). It was shortly before the ascension in a mountain in Galilee where the disciples met Jesus according to appointment. 2. The foundation upon which the commission rests (vv. 17, 18). In order to prepare the disciples to receive this commision, Christ declared to them that all power in heaven and in earth was given unto Him. Before the disciples would enter upon the execution of this commission they must be convinced of His Lordship. To create doubt in the minds of believers as to the deity of Jesus Christ is to cut the nerve of missionary endeavor. 3. What the commission is (vv. 19, 20). 1. "Go—teach all hations" (v. 19). This means make disciples of all the nations, not Jews merely. (2) "Baptist (them in the name of the Trilome Gods)" (v. 19). Those who have become disciples of the Lord should receive the rite which signifies their relation to him. (3) "Teach them" to observe all Christ's commandments" (v. 20). Those who have become Christ's disciples should be taught obedience to all His commandments. 4. The promise attached (v. 20). Those who obey the king in evangelizing the world have the promise of His unfalling presence. 11. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to Preach in Asia Minor (Acts 16:8-8). The inclination of Paul and his companions was to marry in Asia Minor preaching the Word, but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. We have here a fine lesson on divine guidance. The Holy Spirit is just as active and faithful in closing doors as in opening them. "The stops as well as the steps of good men are ordered of the Lord." We ought as truly to recognize God's hand in the "shut-ins" as in the "open-outs." 11. The Call to Macedonia (Acts 18:9-12). The gospel having broken the confines of the Jewish city and country, the middle wall of partition having been abolished, the time has come for it to leap across the Aegean sea and begin its conquest on another continent. 1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a widow was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleasing to the Lord, and closed doors about him. In finding the divine will, we should look betweth us. **10.12**. As soon as the divine way was known they moved forward therein. **1.** The First Convent in Europe (v. 10.12). The devout people were accustomed to worship by the riverside. To this purpose Lydia was preached to the women assembled there. A certain woman from Thyrayn was Lydia's baptism. She lived her baptism in the place of worship. **1.** The steps in Lydia's conversion are worthy of note for they are typical: the audience at the place of worship (v. 18). Unally those when the God is calling are found at the place of prayer. **1.** The instrument used in the worship of the Word of God (v. 18.13). **1.** The instrument used in the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). **2.** Her heart was opened by the God. **1.** Only the Lord can convert a soul. It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's business to preach the Word of God. **2.** She was baptized (v. 15). **1.** Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him in baptism. 5. Her household believed (v. 15). When one is converted in the sense of being a believer (v. 15). Practiced hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God's saving grace are thus disposed to have a relationship with by rendering aid to His ministers. **Pursuit of Happiness** Many people are on the wrong course in pursuit of happiness. They think it consists in having and getting, and being served by others. It consists in having others—Hereday of Gospel Liberty. Salvation Salvation is not from you, nor in you, nor by you, nor by you, but only in Christ, by and by Christ, and of Christ, you—Central Bible Hall Record.

She had always expressed her own personality, and it was not until the last two years that she had begun to be an individual and express her own personality. It was furnished exactly as she had always dreamed her own home should be. She was appreciative of the art, and she was proud of the beauty, but her one passion was for today. She sat in the big cloth covered chair beside a log fire in her library. All about her were shelves of books. A little autographed volume of her book. She found a line that had been written. "Poetry must be lived on properly understood." Gracia's eyes took on a glow that made her very lovely. "So—that is why I am so interested in late. That is why I am secretly trying to express myself in verse," she admitted. "I have lived—I under Perhaps the thoughts that tumbled one after another through her mind were not too tangle, environment were not too tangle, even to Grace, herself, but when she finally moved to mend the fire her environment was increased of a strange hominess. "It ridiculous," she said, quickly switching on a light. "I'm not home now." She was not sure I want all that I have ever wanted—right here. I need a cupful of tea. It is the dampness and the gloom of the room. There, Christopher Murley, go back to your nook." She traced the small volume into the vault silt on the music—that what I want this afternoon—not literature. It have numbed me. She had a dial of her inconspicuous radio set in a secured corner. An orchestra was playing on the program for the regular tea, she murmured a everything make me suffer this afternoon? That is the one bit of music that husts—oh how it hurts me. And yet she has been in her arm on the big chart.Her tea grew cold. The last haunting strains of love died awake of beauty of love died awake of The voice of the announcer brought her back. She looked at the cupful of wine she had poured, a pot of petunia, whining gust of wind sought admittance at the window. Grace ahvelwed. She walked toward the telephone. For a long moment she sat with her hand on the receiver, as if she was waiting to be told that the party did not reply and then she dug up the table.

Nearly 200 people offered their services and agreed to take part in the various acts and scenes which make up the play. However, this number is not large enough to cover the scope and magnitude. The Houston public is informed that in order to cope with other cities in putting this play over, Franklin will need quite 400 or more additional volunteers.

Having filed the state's rebullent in this now celebrated case, t. is quite natural that the loss would be keenly felt by our extraterritory-general and present governor; but he should be a good judge of the facts. The governor, the senate, the gern denotes and implies) by cheerfully taking his medicine. Published every Saturday at 409-410'Odd Fellows Temple, Houston, Tex. On the contrary, the fiery and youthful governor of Texas has stated through the public press that he will recommend legislation to the state legislature that will stand the test and insure and assure "white supremacy" in the Lone Star State, politically speaking. Notably, our governor and his political advisers broke into newspaper print before digesting the supreme court decision, for this highest legal tribunal told that any denial, on the part of the state, of the right to vote to any citizen because of color, is diametrically at variance with the basic laws of the land and therefore unconstitutional, null and void. The supreme court held that any law is invalid that discriminates against the Negro because of color alone, the body condition not be made the basis for a statute affecting the right to vote. Going a bit further, the highest court also held that it was not even necessary to take into consideration the fifteenth amendment to the American constitution, which grants Negroes the right to vote; because the injustice of the Texas statute was sufficiently apparent when considered merely in the light of the fourteenth amendment, which expressly prohibits and forbids the voting of African Americans to bridge the rights of American citizens on account of race or color.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1927 The argument of the attorney-general of Texas that the matter was purely political and did not come within the purview of the court is not supported by the word: "The objection that the subject matter of the suit is political, is little more than a play upon words." This is merely an allegation of saying that Lone Schmidt, a representative did not believe that the Supreme Court's declaration of the highest legal body in America has reflected both upon the legal ability of the attorney-general and the judges and justices presiding over the Texas courts where the case was argued and the verdict was reached. CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES UPHELD. The unar:mous decision decision down recently by the United States supreme court, which declared unconstitutional the Texas primary statute that excluded Negroes from participation in the democratic primary elections in this state, reaffirmed the fact and strengthened the contention that certain constitutional rights and warranties are still to be exercised and enjoyed by all American citizens without regard to creed, color or class; and this far-reaching and epochal decision—an antithesis to the infamous Dred Scott case—has been upheld even the Negro still has some constitutional rights left which even the bourbon "democratic" South must respect. The question naturally arises. Can the state government, through organized political parties, sanction and endorse any type of discrimination (even in the democratic primary elections) that may prevent a candidate from vote in said primaries merely because of color, creed or class? While this latest ruling of the highest legal tribunal in America is regarded as a victory principally for colored Americans in Texas and other Southern states which practice this species of class distinction and discrimination, the decision is a greater triumph for the fundamental laws of the land, upholding and reaffirming the rights of African Americans without taking into consideration his or her racial connections. Furthermore, if Negroes can not be denied the right to vote in state primary elections held by the democratic party, how do these states participate from participation in any primary election, city, county or state? If the state can not deny the right of suffrage to American citizens, the state government hope to accomplish what the state is expressive forbids by the national government to do? Are we to understand that counties, cities and political leaders can arrogate unto themselves certain powers and prerogatives that the supreme court holds states This celebrated case had its origin at El Paso, Texas, where Dr. A. L. Nixon, one of the leading colored physicians of that city and a prominent member of the discriminatory section of the Texas civil statutes), sought damages from C. C. Herndon and Charles Porras, democratic primary election officials, because they denied and refused him his constitutional and inalienable right to cast a ballot at the polls. If the black man is an American citizen under the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, he is entitled to why all this opposition to said black man participating in 'any election,' and excluding Frank Francis, just like other American citizens with native American roots. The plaintiff-in-error (Dr. Nixon), having resorted to court action against the defendants-in-error (Messrs. Herndon and Poras) and lost in all the courts of Texas, finally carried his case to the supreme court of the country, alleging that he was denied the right to vote in democratic primary election merely because he was a Negro, and the court of last resort has ruled that such state laws are unconstitutional rights of any American citizen of color) to cast a ballot in a democratic primary, is null and void of no consequence. The Negro has sense enough to vote for charter amendments, bond issues and other propositions requiring more than ordinary ability and judgment, why the stiff and stubborn opposition to the vote for the Negro casting a ballot in a primary election for some candidates? Is "white supremacy" endangered by a few thousand black men and women casting their votes for democratic candidates in a state that is overwhelmingly democratic, and where nomination in the primary election by the democratic party is tantamount to elec- Thus article number 3107, revised civil statutes of Texas, is not worth the paper it is written on, as the Informer has repeatedly contended since the passage of this absurd and silly piece of class legislation by the Texas legislature; for this paper has contended that no state legislature has the right or authority to prescribe the qualifications of the electors of any partisan organization than the legislature has the right or output to outline prerequisites for membership in either the Baptists or Methodist church. The Informer has always held to the opinion that class legislature, national government, is unconstitutional; and that if legally opposed and properly carried to the highest appellate court in this country, the constitutional provisions and guarantees would be valid. Here is the statute that the supreme court has legally outlawed: Article 3107.—In no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a democratic party primary election held in the state of Texas, unless he is a registered voter in the state of Texas, such shall be void and election officials shall not convene. The fourteenth amendment to the constitution, which formed the supreme court decision in the Texas primary matter, passed. Texas democratic leaders are literally "up in the air," and the grumess spectre of a dark cloud can now be discerned on the horizon. They are the leaders of the party, the partisan reformers, and the alarmsists, who are perfectly willing for black men to pull a trigger during war in defense of American ideals and institutions, but are wholly unwilling for these same black warriors to mark a ballot and cast a vote during times of 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protections of the Constitution. 2. If Governor Moody or his political advisers can enact and enforce a disfranchisement statute that can nullify and render negative this amendment, and the fifteenth amendment to the same constitution, then our astute and brilliant chief executive should be appointed to the supreme court of the United States; and his partisan advisers, supporters and adherents should find some method whereby the Texas governor can be placed on the supreme court bench, and hand down another case to the Supreme Court. 3. "The Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." As a matter of fact, if the democratic party in Texas has reached the stage in its partisan career where its only hope for salvation and perpetuity lies in the exclusion and disfranchisement of citizens because of color, then may a merciful heaven Father have saved them? And as a political organization that The National Association for the Civil Rights played a very important part in this legal litigation of DeNixon, retaining the most eminent constitutional lawyers in America to present the brief before the supreme court, viz: Hors. Louis Marshall, Moorfield Storey and Arthur B. Spingarin. Fred. C. Knollenberg and Robert J. Channel, El Paso lawyers deserve much credit for the masterly manner in which they presented their cause before the court of last resort. The Informer agrees with the sentiment expressed by some democratic leaders of Texas that the ruling of the supreme court is not a problem, but that the court sent any serious problem—not unless certain demagogues endeavor to concoct some scheme or plan whereby the supreme court decision will be over-rules or negated by arbitrary actions and high-handed machinations on the part of party leaders and legislators. Paraphrasing the popular song "Bye-Bye, Blackbird," the nine able jurists of the United States supreme court mixed, mingled and joined their voices last Monday in singing both the verses and refrain to the latest dittay "Bye-Bye, Primary!" In a democratic republic such as America professes and essays to be, the voter is sovereign, and the man without a vote is both voiceless, helpless and impotent, and thus becomes a political serf and outcast and a partisan orphan. WHY SO MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING? As if some of the Texas solons are reported as saying anent the supreme court decision holding the democratic primary statute of this state unconstitutional, nefrogs will exercise their suffrage rights, why have Governor Dan Moody and some of his political followers become unduly alarmed and unnecessarily exasperated when the case has taken, and why make so much adobe about nothing? It remained for an East Texan (Dr. Nixon is a native of Marshall, Texas.) to strike a telling blow in defense of the political rights of his people in Texas and the entire South, and here's hoping that the race will contest and oppose in court other distractions. He will oppose our group in this state, such as "jim-crow" railroad accommodations, the poll law as a prerequisite to voting, et cetera. It will be remembered that the present governor of Texas was attorney-general of the state when the brief was originally filed by the attorney general of Texas at the time of the original filing by the attorneys for Dr. A. Nixon, the El Paso physician of color who appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court.

Illustrated News. “It is the greatest decision ever handed down by the supreme court, and no American citizen who believes the law is true—it is the right to be a child. It is the above-by-this mandate.”—H.P. Carter, South Texas agency manager Standard Life Ins. Co. “A most wonderful decision—a second emancipation, but as I see it, the fight has just begun.”—R.T.

It was a great achievement for our people, and the pity is that there had to be any fight waged by the Negro.” to get those rights who are guarded by the state, and the one of this republic."—C. H.

The small percentage of the 80,000 Non-American mutual benefit quality to vote, will be made to realize that we have paid too dearly for this right for it to be trifled with.

Soloists Rose to New Heights. The solo work was truly commendable, Mr. J. W. Hubert (soprano) with "In the Woods" by Drape, and Mrs. H. M. Middleton with Eckert's "None He Loves But Me," rising to new musical heights and literally "stopping the show." Dr. C. B. Johnson, the popular tenor of the club, almost "stole the house" with his yodel, "Roll On, Silver Moon," and his booster song. (the words and music both being composed by this dentist-inger musician) "Houston Is A Grand Old Town," which was rendered by the doctor, assisted by the ensemble, as a surprise number closing the first part of the evening's program. Several hundred copies of this Houston song were sold during the intermission, and those who heard it sung declare that it is the best booster song yet produced on "Heavenly Houston." Written in March time, it has plenty of merit, kick, pep, mirth and facts, and very succinctly portrays the wonders and advantages of our great and growing metropolis. Other numbers deserving of special mention were: duet, "Hope Beyond," Mrs. E. J. Mann (contralto) and M. H. Montgomery (tenor); trio, "I Pass By Your Window," Mesdames L. A. Davies (soprano), M. E. B. Isac-Robertson and E. J. Mann (contralto); piano selection, Godard's "En Route," by Miss Geraldine Foster, contrato and assistant pianist of the club; violin, "Cavatina" and "A Dream," by Dr. L. M. Mitchell; octet, "Esmeralda," by Mrs. Sarah Shepherd; Jones, Mrs. N. Dudley, Jr., soprano; Mrs. C. A. George, Miss Foster, contratos; N. Dudley, Jr., M. H. Montgomery, tenors; H. M. Middleton and C. F. Richardson, bamboo; dramatic reading, "Last Hour of Joan of Arc," by Mrs. Robertson; "Just A Weary in" and "Loves A Merchant" by the ladies' chorus. "Moments of Musical Monkeyry," presented by the double male quartet, was one of the outstanding hits of the evening, the "Gang Song," "Didn't It Rain?" and "Who Built De Ark," taking the house like a prairie fire. The singers had to respond to an encore, singing the "Song of Eats." It was likewise a veritable "knockout!" The leaders in the group numbers were in fine fettle, with the club virtually "steppin' on it" with full, rich harmony, tempo, and rhythmic coordination that demonstrated the result of palpataking training and proper interpretation of the numbers rendered. Especially pleasing were the mentioned "Spring" show. Sweet Charlot, led by Mr. Hubert; "Prepare Me, Lord." led by V. L. Pleasant; "Old Black Joe," led by John R. Grigsby; "Listen to the Lambe" and "Music in the Mine," with Mrs. Middleton as soloist; "Hold De Win," "Sit At The Welcome Table," "Git On Board," and "Hand Me Down the Silver Trumpet," and "John Johnson." The writer desires to admonish the club to remain steadfast to the principles of love, truth, harmony, pathos and beauty so pleasingly portrayed in their writing, we must conclude our noble view of this festival without paying a special tribute to the foresight, perseverance and genius of its founder and president, Editor C. F. Richardson of The Houstag Informer; Mrs. P. O. Smith, the very capable and efficient pianist-directress, who, with queenly grace and charm, officiates at the piano in a manner akin to the musical masters, and Dr. C. B. Jackson, whose musical advice and assistance have been of inestimable value to the organisation. The entire organization deserves praise for the unselfish spirit which has pervaded the club during the four years of its existence, for during this period, for the time to give the light of material things and have given, without pay or hope of financial remuneration or earthly reward, several benefit programs for churches and ludible causes. "Fully this spirit is the first to be shared, and with lengthened shadows that bring joy and happiness to their appreciative white and mixed audiences, here and elsewhere." The officials of the Houston Negro Hospital and the citizens, generally are no doubt elated and over-joyed not only because of the neat sum of money realized, the equipment fund of this institution, but because through the rendition of the greatest program of the first of the first Hospital Hospital idea has been presented to more people than ever before since the project was launched in this city, and this festival represented the biggest single effort towards equipping the working cells in club has proven the measure of usefulness and success in service. For ages we have been prone to arrange, at great expense, to import musical talent of a doubtful nature, to work on the new media, see the words uttered by the cherished and lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington: "Let down your buckets where you are!" Let us, therefore, give more encouragement to home talent and become resident boosters of "Heavenly and the products, both animate, and inanimate."
