Houston Informer

HARRIS COUNTY JURY FINES RICHARDSON $750 NATIONAL BENEFIT BUYS STANDARD '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 VOL. VIII HARRIS NATIC THE MIRROR BY C. F. RICHARDSON The conductor of this column, who happens to be the editor of The Informer, is indeed grateful to the large number of leading citizens, colored and who, who have assured this letter, that they are with him in his editorial content for fair play and square deal to all American citizens regardless of color, creed or class; and we take this occasion to thank all who have proffered us service and assistance of any kind for the recent criminal libel cause decided against this editor in one of the local courts, wherein this editor was fined $750 by a jury for alleged criminal libel of W. L. Davis, "acting" principal of Gregory School. Because of the peculiar circumstances of the editorial which caused the basis of the charge against this editor, numerous persons have taken the position that the colored citizenry of Houston, rather than this editor, were on trial; that the cause had long since ceased to be personal and had become racial, and that it was an attempt to throttle and muzzle The Informer and its editor in protesting against discriminations, injustices and inequalities and in the public interest, were not to be who will lend themselves to the schemes and machinations of those who would almost resort to assassination or murder in an attempt to put this editor out of the newspaper business, and to deny the race its constitutional rights and God's own privilege. Whatever the motive was that backed and to backing this case, the Informer and its editor shall always be found fighting for the rights of our people in public interest. AND WE WILL FIGHT IT OUT ALONG "THIS LINE IF 'HELL FREEZES OVER US'! That's that! The editor of this paper has not asked or requested one single person or organization to donate or contribute to the red copper to his legal defense case. He is a member of the Sympathy nor assistance of any individual or organization; and, while several real race men and women have contributed to the legal defense fund being raised by Mr. H. P. Carter, and the sympathy nor assistance of any individual or organization; and, while several real race men and women have contributed to the legal defense fund being raised by Mr. H. P. Carter, and the sympathy nor assistance of any individual or organization; he is a敦促员, who has been grateful to the support of the fund, and has been a member of the fund. He is also a敦促员, who has been grateful to the support of the fund. If you want to judge a man's worth to a people or community, you only have to observe how the people will rally to him when the cause he represents is in jeopardy; and we are not to be afraid of the people who have the courts of the manly, courageous, honest and God-fearing members of our race, who are eignant of the peristent and consistent stand this paper has always taken when the right has been given. We are at stake The fact that many who grin in this editor's face and profess friendship, alliance, endorsement and support while in the public interest, is a attitude when out of his presence; the fact that some who boast of their staying and sticking qualities, may take cold feet and holst the white flag at the least flurry; the fact that some who are not so well known are personally benefited and rewarded as a result of some of The Informer's fights, may turn traitors and join forces with those seeking to destroy this editor (and, in the same way, the more more)—we stand like the Apostle Paul in days of old and loudly proclaim to a crooked and perverse generation, "None of these things more me." We are not friends, life is a great game—if you don't weaken; but to weaken is defeat and death. Amen! DARROW'S NARROW ESCAPE!

W. Rutherford Guiding Genius—Personnel Reorganized—Ferguson and Day, Texans, Retained With Organization Claiming $75,000,000 Insurance in Force. Atlanta, Ga.—The signing of the contract on March 16 by which the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D.C., took over the business of the Standard Life Insurance Company stands as another milestone in the road of Negro progress and achievement. In addition, it stands as another monument to the business sagacity and foresight of that pioneer of insurance men, Samuel Wither Rutherford, who, in 1898, founded the company to which he has given twenty-eight years of uninterrupted service. In addition, the National Benefit through this period has been greatly beaten and sound, and the institution has through its lifetime commanded wide attention for its capable and conservative management. There is little doubt that the high position which the company occupied even prior to this transaction was due to the leadership and ability of Mr. Rutherford, who has served as president of the company since the past decade has seen the beginning of numerous business enterprises among Negroes, and especially has the number increased in the field of insurance. There has been a great deal of talk about the advantages of combinations and consolidations, with their attendant economies of operation, but it remained for National Benefit to put these theories into practice in a big way. Special to The Informer. Atlanta, Ga.—The signing of which the National Benefit Life, D. C., took over the business Company stands as another milestone and achievement. In addition to the business sagacity and insurance man, Samuel Wilson R. the company to which he has gerrtured service. The growth of the National Benefit Life lifetime commanded wide attentive management. There is it which the company occupied ev due to the leadership and ability as its secretary-manager since 1995. The companies enterprises among Negroes, and creased in the field of insurance talk about the advantages of with their attendant economies the National Benefit to put the Informer. In recent years some of the greatest mergers among banks, insurance companies and other commercial enterprises among the other group have been consumed, resulting in the need to give the public ability to give the public a better commodity-at a lower cost, and the assurances of greater permanency in business. The National Benefit and its companies of unusual magnitude in their resources, operating among our people, to carry forward this modern business idea to a successful conclusion. R. H. RUTHERFORD President-Treasurer ATS' NITE BOKER T. WASHINGTON South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1927 nies gives to the race an institution with 75,000,000 worth of business in force, and makes the National Benefit the largest financial institution of our race. It is interesting to note and study the leaders and the forces which were responsible for the successful qualification of the resources and man power of two institutions which have made their impress upon the economic development of the Negro race. The early history of Standard Life as a corporation organized in the state of Georgia, in 1913, is well known to those who have followed the course of Negro business. Starting from the very bottom it grew to the point 8. W. RUTHERFORD Secretary-Manager where in January, 1923, there was approximately $260,000 of insurance in force on bookkeeps, and with life insurance in force the largest life insurance company of the race doing an exclusive life business. At this time the business was taken over by the Southern Insurance Company, a white insurer, and the company sent the largest company out of the control of Negroes was without a doubt a blow to our racial pride, and the only hope of future control and ownership of the company in time in the future the Negroes might be able to exercise the option granted them in the contract, to buy back the business during a ten-year period. In the Southern Insurance Company the Southern Insurance Company the business was sold to a group of the white capitalists of Arkansas who organized closely for the purpose of taking over this business. It is from the organization passed into the hands of the National Benefit Life Insurance organization under white management, the main office of the company, the home office personal, field force, and home office personnel, and held practically intact. Upsetment in the minds of those who have remains in the company, the leadership of T. F.

Dodd-Crawford, lyric soprano of Chicago, who has been socialised as one of the most brilliant singers of the race by the newspapers and musical critics of the Middle West, will tour her former home state (Mrs. Crawford is a native of Bonham, Texas, and a product of Wiley College, Marshall, Texas) during the month of April. She is the wife of Captain Crawford, who was stationed at Prairie View during the World War II. According to her itinerary this wonderful singer will appear in Houston at Antioch Baptist Church, Wednesday night, April 6, in a program of numbers that will please all music lovers, young and old. The Music News of Chicago has the following to say about this wonderful number: The Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, but who is appearing under auspices of circles at Antioch Church: "Roberta Dodd Crawford, whose professional debut last Thursday evening at Kimball Hall was an hour and a half of pure musical delight, is a young colored woman with culture and gentle refinement of manner. She is most gracious to meet, with a sill-very and softly melodious speaking voice and a well-born courteous and earnestness that attracts interest and friends." "Her success has the Thursday is surely but the beginning of a long career of even greater achievements, for Mrs. Crawford has a mind which absorbs ideas, the energy to work hard and the inspiration to carry her over dull hours." "Besides these important attributes, she has a voice of clear and bell-like quality, the facile mastery of vocal technique, ample musicianship and a de-lightful artistry of presentation." "Her French is beautifully pure and her diction in all languages is good." T. J. FERGUSON Assistant Secretary in Charge Standard Division Informer Editor LostInLibelCase; To Fight Verdict Informer Editor LostInLibelCase; To Fight Verdict After a bitter legal battle stretching over two days, a jury in county court-at-law No. 1, Ben F. Wilson, judge, found C. F. Richardson, editor of The Houston Informer, guilty of printing libelous matter in the newspaper concerning W. L. Davis, acting principal of Gregory school, and fined the race publisher $750. Attorneys for Editor Richardson immediately filed a motion for a new trial, which is set down for argument Saturday, March 26. If this motion is overruled, the then case will be appealed to the court of criminal appeals. Editor Richardson laid a predicate for an appeal through the lower appellate courts of the state to the United States supreme court, when his attorneys filed a motion asking Judge Wilson to dismiss the case on the ground that it was in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution. 'SHUFFLE ALONG' PLAYS AT HOUSTON THEATRES WITH BROADWAY CAST 'SHUFFLE ALONG' PLAYS AT HOUSTON THEATRES WITH BROADWAY CAST The argument made by Hon. Earle Adam, counsel for Richardson, that the complaint was defective, and citing decisions from the appellate court bearing out and supporting his legal contentions, was overruled by the court that the paid prosecutors of the complaining witness failed to cite a single opinion or law to substantiate their contention that the indictment stood the test of reason. The court not even permitted to prove the truthfulness of contents in the "Davis editorial" of January 15, 1997. The case attracted unusual attention and the court room and corridors were crowded with witnesses and spectators, who seemed very much interested in the case. Theatregoers of Houston and South Texas will hail with much delight the announcement of Victor Barraco, manager of the Booker T. Washington Theatre, 2737 Odin Avenue, 5th Ward, and the Key Theatre, 611 West Dallas, 4th Ward, that Miller, Lyle and Slayer's "Shuffle, Along" aggregation will appear at these local playhouses during the Weekday Day.

One of the colored workers writes: "We received every courtesy and consideration that we could ask."

Stressing the need of a better understanding between the groups, Rev. Ames declared: "I want to believe that war had a beginning, that it followed a natural course of progress, that in the last great war we discovered how terrible it was." It was and that we had no income, history, willingness of its own weight. Concerning misunderstandings and difficulties arming among ourselves, I see in the establishing of the Rosenwald Industrial Museum an indication of a wider and deeper understanding of all people and it up to this generation to foster that movement and understanding." While the other speakers urged a better understanding of all people, the two men were still at apology when he declared: "Ninety-six per cent of Nigroes are black and white, and the world will respect those things which they hold sacred.

Chicago, IL—Perhaps no other single organization has handled the part which Negro Insurance companies are playing in the industry. The standing of the part which Negro Insurance companies are playing in the industry is shown by the tremendous amount of employment which they furnish to the Negro Insurance Association has just made available to them. The employed by the 22 companies which are members of the National Negro Insurance Association has been the year ending 1925, they paid salaries during the year of apportionment to each individual worker of $600 per year, $75 per month, $725 per year. The character of this employment service was distinguished positions, given to director and president, were given in this army of workers who were employed by the national companies. We remembered that the Negro companies have insurance in force only one-eighth pt even the force, only one-eighth pt even the force who are injured and that force who are uninjured, upon the member of the group, but little finds its way back to a injured person in an occasional junior, a striking idea of the value which these racial entities have is gained. The largest white company carrying Negro business has a large number of employees and yet it has not a single Negro agent, clerk, or employee, have a few of the business training and experience which these institutions have. The companies have racially owned and operated companies have furnished to those who管要 competent business people, to fill the increasing demands for trained the companies who comprise the group studied, most of whom are African-American.

MRS. WINSLOW'S SYRUP DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH IN NEGRO HISTORY WONDERFUL ETHIOPIANS OF THE FAMOUS CUSHITE EMPIRE The minds of men today are eager with exert questions about the origin of civilization; and about the history of human development played in its development from primitive ages. The starting remains Egyptian, old Babylonian and South America reveal that there were significant differences in the arts and sciences, that history has tailed to make clear Scientists have learned that some of those old civilizations and comparing them with those of the present. Our masses to give them development and happiness as did some of the books upon the early life of man are very hard to secure. Few have been written that are authentic, but they are the ones assembled and condense such matter. Exhautive research work is necessary, with only a jime here and there in modern books to help the reader to understand the trained mind can hold the multitude of details and possess the ability to make the facts, that prove the influence of each race upon the civilization of to-day. The quest for the innumerable and starting facts of the succeeding volumes rose, much as did the motive of Schliemann to seek the buried ruins of Troy, from the off repeated expression found by the author. In research work that "what the ancients said about the Ethiopians was fabulous." Curiosity was aroused to go back over the story of the ancients and agree "or draw new conclusions. The finds were" astonishing, that the vow was made to, if necessary, spend many years upon this study. Like the "quest of the Holy Grail," the vow became sacred, for the trail led backward into the heart of all that the world holds most precious and to the primal roots from which all culture sprang. At first the reading of an afternoon in the average public library would hardly reveal a line to the credit of the Ethiopian. Sometimes a ten-volume set of modern books might yield only a few paragraphs; but the vow and the richness of the finds, like a gleaning diamonds, led the eager searcher on. The trail was followed into the dry, dusty books of the annotator. There were little withered and truth was revealed that will answer some of the baffling problems of civilization today. Here were missing links of the chain of culture vainly sought for elsewhere. Our story will deal with the famous ancient Cushite empire of Ethiopians, that covered three continents and held unbroken away for three thousand years. We will visit old Ethiopians where as Herodotus said, "the gods are related to the Inqu�us," and the pharaoh's inhabitants. We will study the land of the ancient race. The "Old Race" will next win our attention, that Petrie found in Egypt of district and unique culture, who were the people of the earlier and superior civilization of the first dynasties. Down through this pre-historic vista, see "Happy Time with her brilliant primitism of the culture and her unrivalled literature of later days." Then on the screen, flashes the rich and surpassing culture of old Chaldea, which belonged to the ancient Cushite empire of Ethiopians. Next comes velled and mysterious India, the scene of charming story and magic fable, with her subtle mysticism and philosophy, an in-spying exile with the "the ancient Medos and Persians, who were Ethiopians, the trail runs far afield into the dominions of western Europe and the striking questions of the other states, demanding to be answered. Who were the Celts? Who were the Teutons? and What was the origin of the so-called Aryan race? We will see a much-mentioned as will be the reader as to what this study reveals. It leaves us wondering if there is any Aryan race. Cattle Eat Golf Balls?

The thoughtfulness of school officials and the kindness of inspecting dentists and nurses, will result in lasting good for the pupils examined. This work represents a definite aim on the part of the colored dental society, to make a contribution towards protecting and safeguarding the health of the colored public school children of Houston, and the movement is particularly laudable since it illustrates what can be done when the parents and others wish to take care of such a program for themselves, without asking aid from outsiders. It also shows that colored dental practitioners are willing to become benefactors to their race and the social order. Coming up to and surpassing all advance notice, the cast in the "Third Degree," the stirring drama of love, love, hate, and with a slapstick from New York City police department and the methods employed to obtain confession, rose to new historic heights in their premium performance Tuesday night at the City Auditorium.

AS REAL SALESLADY MISS ODIE LEE GLENN That the Alaskan Fur Company, heddquarters in Houston for reliable values in furs, appreciates race trade is evidenced by the enthusiasm with which Miss Odle Lee Glenn, popular race member of the Alaskan Fur Company personnel, notified the Alphonse Mills, advertising manager of The Informer, of the intention of the Alaskan Fur Company to advertise, from time to time, in The Informer in order that race people may know that their patronage is wanted and appreciated. Miss Glenn, meeting with the Corr. Mills said, "The Alaskan Fur company wants our people to know that it is possible to buy furs on Main Street without having to pay a premium on the prices. We have the finest stock of high grade furs by Hootton, and the price range is such that furs of the simplest or most expensive type may be had. Every pocket book can get its money's worth at the Alaskan, and I will see that our friends receive courteous attention. Also, they may purchase their furs on reasonable time payments, making it reasonable to pay the payment at the time of purchase. There is a great deal of satisfaction in buying from the most complete stock of reliable furs in the city, knowing you are getting the utmost in superior values, and yet not paying any more than you would do else where."

Harris has been prominently associated with the boy scout movement since the British Scout Association before the establishment of the Boy Scouts organization was organized, and he is engaged in developing this work among the boys. Mr. Harris, there are 600 troops, Boy Scouts among Negro boys in this work, and they are all in the North.

Despite the fact that Mr. Darwin of Alabama in which to recuperate and effect a cure, he was forced to board a train in the brokenest cabin of Alabama mobsters, who seemed to celebrate the lawyer and apothecary of fair play contended for justice and authority. It seems, and in tragic and a commentary upon our boated civilization when men must be persecuted by a manly stand, and contend that all are equal in the sight of Alabama men should be accorded their God-given and constitutional rights. It seems that religious bigotry and intolerance played an important part in the hostile discourse against the white men portrayed that even the preachers and the grenades described him as a "troublemaker." As long as the white Protestant churches refuse to speak out in no uncertain tone against the double standard of citizenship—one for white citizens and another for coloring people—the type of Mr. Darrow, who stand up for the fundamental principles of Americanism, will be personal non-grata in numerous Southern communities. We presume Mr. and Mrs. Darrow can now understand and appreciate the predicament and warmed in the black-meant sunnings of the South, who are the unwilling victims of this species of American (Hannah) "kultur." Any man who essays to serve the role of crusader, even though he stands on righteous grounds and best lies for time-honored principles, must undergo certain suffings and be subjected to many humiliations for the sake of the cause he represents and the people he endeavors to help. We regret the ordeal through which Mr. Darrow was forced to go at Mobile, but we are truly thankful that no violence was done him by themselves here. The Lisa of Judge Lynch's circuit is the Lisa's state of life to be a very man being violently and shamefully maltreated because of his expressed views on certain public questions and practices.

HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY. MARCH 26. 1927 STUBBORN FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES! It has been reported to The Informer that some official of the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who seems to be unable to differentiate between a headline and sub-head in a newspaper and an editorial policy, has circulated the report that the editor of The Informer is "fighting" this organization, and that this paper, through its editor, has endeavored to discredit the Advancement Association and bring it in "contempt among the white people of this community," et cetera. The report states that this official took umbrage with a subheading which appeared in a recent issue of The Informer, in connection with a news story, which referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as being "that abusive person for society." The Informer has repeatedly commended the national office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in its efforts to safeguard the interests of our people; and, even though this paper has not agreed with all its policies and programs, no voice has been raised by this editor in protest or condemnation of the motive actuating those guiding and directing affairs at the New York office. As for the local branch, which seems to be in a state of suspended animation or tucked securely and safely in the vest pocket of certain local officials, this paper has also commended it whenever it has accomplished anything worthy of commendation and praise; and this editor recently made himself proud of the work he did in this paper it initiated and insisted that the Houston branch of this paper was the instrument that saved an innocent colored youth (Luther Collins) from being railroaded to the electric chair or state penal institution. But, when officials and leading spirits in any movement openly proclaimed the need for such movement for which movement stands, and become syphilis and AIDS cases of interest who endeavor to throttle the colored press and reduce us to abject jeopardy and bondage; when any of the officials or leading members of such movement form an unholy and profane alliance with internal and external foes of the race, and become syphilis and AIDS cases of interest who are giving their very lives for the best interests of our race and the social order, then The Informer feels free to expose such spineless and deceitful double-dealers, hypocrites and human jackasses! The Informer has no fight on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for which has been a potent factor in effecting the second emancipation of the Negro race in America, particularly in the South; but, judging from the apparent policy of the local branch, which seems to preach one thing before colored audiences and espouse and practice another when in the presence of members of other races, the Negro race in America, particularly in the national organization, would be repudiated, denounced and destroyed. Why do so-called "Negro leaders" get so excited when the term "radical" is employed; when, in its original form, the word merely means to reach the center or ultimate source; affecting the vital principle or principles; throughgoing; original; fundamental; make or not? Any organization or movement that seeks to remedy or alter existing evils and conditions, by the very nature of things, is radical; because the undertaking or program seeks to uproot and abolish such customs and practices which are not in strict accord and perfect harmony with democratic (in its larger sense and interpretation) ideals and institutions. Is it fear of being known "radical" that has deterred the local branch of this association, which will not even call a public meeting of the local society, and which will not eveil to make one solitary thing that organization is now doing in this community for the people it is supposed to represent, defend and protect. Is it the greatest foe to progress and advancement, for the failure of any body or organization to function and show signs of life, is an indication that deterioration has set in or decay and imminent, or imminent, or imminent. Instead of only becoming temporarily active when some Negro has been indicted for some criminal offense, if the local branch The Houston Informer wants to perform a distinct and lasting service to the race and society, why does it not get busy and do something for safeguarding and protecting the rights of all the people by waging legal action against the many injustices he leaped upon them and theirs both in this community and state? Through the efforts of the El Paso branch and the national office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the United States supreme court has recently declared the democratic "white man's" primary statute of Texas invalid and branched out the Houston branch stand in this matter? Did this branch contribute anything towards Dr. L. A. Nixon's legal defense fund? Does this branch favor colored citizens of Texas enjoying and conserving their electric franchise rights as guaranteed and warranted under the provisions of the federal constitution and its amendments? Or does the local body hold to the opinion that, since Dr. Nixon's action was so unusual and "radical," and since he did not stay in a "nigger's place," it can not subscribe to or endorse such a movement? Or does the local branch consider Dr. Nixon dangerous and menacing to the "amicable relations that are existing between the two races in El Paso and Texas," and that the El Paso physician of the Southern District should be ordered or reported for his check, garrill and arm stand for his inalienable and constitutional rights and warranties? Being so interested in the race's welfare, well-being and betterment of the people, helping Benjamin Harmon, the New Orleans race man who appealed and won his residential segregation fight before the highest legal tribunal in America, in his legal defense fund? Is the local branch in harmony and accord with such protest movements and test cases, and does it believe that any American citizen should be involved in this community? When the republican (?) lords and bosses of Houston denied several thousand colored citizens their constitutional rights to vote and exercise their elective franchise warranties in the principal National Association for the Advancement of Colored People maintain such painful silence? Despite the fact that some of its members were disfranchised in said primary election, if the branch has ever raised its voice against the last July, why did the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People maintain such painful silence? With notstanding the fact that the laws of Texas accommodate that accommodations on the railroad trains and public roads, not only last July, but June 14, 1897, the local branch, many of whose members and officials are constantly and continually "jim-crowd" through Texas and the South— ever done to remedy this situation and see that the railroad companies of Texas comply with this state statute in every detail? Why is it so difficult to enforce the railroad branch is willing to endure such inconveniences in order not to offend the railroad officials and appear to the white people as being a "radical agitator", which is "completely out of its place"? Why is the state and railroad officials of Texas are ever on the job when it comes to the "separateness" of the accommodations, why can not the local branch—one of the few remaining in the Lone Star State, if it really does still exist—be just as persistent and insistent upon seeing that the "equality" of the accommodations is provided by law, is also observed by state and railroad officials. If the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is so interested in the welfare and reputation of public school teachers (some of whom have been honored by the NAACP) to initiate a movement to see that colored teachers, who must pass the same examinations and meet the same tests and requirements as white teachers, receive the same remuneration and consideration? If the local branch of public school teachers and schools, what has the Houston branch ever done, under the present administration, to secure better school buildings, larger campuses, increased pay and more sanitary and healthful living conditions for teachers, pupils and patrons? We are judge or infer from the actions of the Houston branch of the NAACP Association that it is only interested in black men accused of crime, and that neither the local body nor its guiding geniuses have either time or inclination to look after and safeguard the larger interests of all the people? These constitute some of the interrogations that both The Information Center of Houston and the Houston branch of which have unintentionally and liberally supported a local branch over a number of years (in fact, doing this at a period when some of the present officials and "leading lights" were not even connected with the local organization, or if they had joined same, did not make it known), desire to be answered; and, failing to receive a response, refuse to be interviewed. We are certainly at liberty to draw their own conclusions. Selah! STANDARD RECLAIMED TO COLORED GROUP! After many abortive efforts by several different racial groups and organizations to reclaim Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., to the Negro race, and restore the faith and confidence that so many people lost in race enterprises when the debacle came a few years ago which caused the race to lose the Standard, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., has finally succeeded in purchasing the Atlanta company from its white owners and have thus brought back to the race one of its most highly prized jewels. When The Informer took the position that too much unfavorable publicity would not only harm the failing Standard organization, it would have also caused the interests of the other Negro insurance companies and racial business in general, this paper's attitude was severely criticised in certain circles; and one of our esteemed journalistic contemporaries insisted that The Informer's editor had "sold out" the interests of the race to Hemingway and the Standard company. While congratulating the officials of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company for engineering and consummating the most gigantic, stupendous and far-reaching deal in the race's history in America, this paper also wishes to pay a compliment to two teams (Tom Forgason and Aaron Day), which remained with the Standard company, and upon the insurance rocks at any moment and thus go down to an untimely grave. This huge deal not only redeems the Standard to the Negro race, but it also demonstrates the fact that the race has made substantial advancement and that we have produced business problems that require brains, money and organization. National Benefit---- (Continued From Page One) program were: Dr. C. C. Cater, medical director; Aaron Day, Jr., director of agencies; Joe H. B. Hewan, supervisor of branch offices; C. E. Arnold, assistant secretary; J. C. Arnold, counselor; A. M. Carter, assistant, and J. B. Blayton, auditor; the agency managers, field force and home office employees. With this we that goal there was no question but that the JOHN R.

It is one thing to see the benefits of such a combination as this, but itis quite another matter to worka complete plan for its consummation that meets the tests of good insurance AARON DAY, Jr. Assistant Agent Director procedure. Here was the first point at which President R. H. Rutherford ordained that keep in mind the institutions, for he went to one of the foremost firms of insurance activities Son-and secured the services of Aikron Son-and secured the services of Aikron R. D. Russell, the junior member of the firm. The firm of Miles Perkins pervival and attention to the handling the plan. The firm of Miles Perkins is recognized as one of the leading firms in matters of insurance procedures and thus thus be assured of a continuation of the counsel and guidance of man in the insurance science has had an inestimable value in the development of present insurance practices. DR. G. C. CATER Medical Director Standard Division action was the firm of Candler, Thomson and Hirsch, represented by W. D. Thomson. Quoting from a statement made by President R. H. Rutherford, when he was congratulated on the successful outcome of the plan—"Service to the public was the main motive which prompted the National Benefit to consider this deal." But the finest of motives would have availed nothing had they not been backed up by the enthusiastic and persistent endeavor of this brilliant executive. Mr. Rutherford began his career with the National Benefit as an agent and received his training in life insurance at the hands of his capable father. His position as executive head of the largest Negro financial institution in the world is a well deserved one, and OPINIONS CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS there is no doubt that this represents to him not the climax but the beginning of his career and endeavor. In the handling of details attendant upon the closing of his tenure as assistant by Mortimer P. Smith, as assistant to the chief, one of his most trusted and esteemed advisers, one of the official and executive director of our ordinance department. These men have a quiet and unassuming maquette of a dazzling-deed-spirit that served to overcome the hardships of his career. A All are agreed that this present combination could not be seen an opportunity to be deemed an operative spirit and support of officials and staff in the administration, and that it should be labored solely for the consumption of this epoch-making transaction. In the initial stages of the project, the materials assisted by Hon. Scipio A. Jonek, known as attorney King of Memphis, Tennessee, agency director of the Southern division of the consortium.
