Houston Informer

MODERN PRINTING PLANT FOR HOUSTON INFORMER Thompson Back InMayor'sOffice; Negroes Elated "Big Bill's" Victory Shows That Chicago Still Believes in Americanism and Democracy — Democrats Raised "Negro Issue." But to No Avail — Dan Jackson, Bob Jackson, Louis Anderson and Oscar De Priest Control Situation Among Black Voters — Clean City Promised. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., "Mayor Dever plead understand the issue. This is the final statement of George cago, and one time nominee for democrats, under Brennan, mad campaign for mayor, much to embarrassment of several thous democratic mayor once, and who again. Brennan claims the act. The Associated Negro Press is calling for democrats to sense to re-elect Mayor Dever. of the democrats resorted to propaganda possible, in order to William Hale Thompson. It is the democrats who called "Bill Thompson at a big down to holer "rape," and start a rifa facts widely published in all renegade newspapers, who routinely play ballamming, "Bye, Bye, Blackbird," to mention, were used. Then, B Negro Vote Large Factor. Some of the daily newspapers have said Thompson could have been elected mayor, and no one know the fact better than Bill Thompson. Thompson was elected twenty-two, there are fifty wards in twenty-two, there are forty wards in ways near approaching the pluralities given in the Negro wars, before any political party will have the nerve to even suggest the possibility of having a candidate for the race issue. The Democratic race issue is declared: "We lost because we injected an issue that should never have been done." Thompson Off With Good Start. William Hale Thompson of today is not the Thompson of yesterday—eighteen years ago he did not believe dulies like the Tribune and Daily News that opposed him all during his former administration, he have deliberately denied this. He proves this fact, and he willing to accept Thompson's slogan to "throw the president out of Chicago." Colored Chicago realizes that a somewhat measurable share of politics is still being stopped, there is vigorous and unpopular population of "big doers" is planning to keep up with general projections. No Black Hegira Feared. No exodus from the South is invited, or expected, but it is known that, even under normal conditions, the Negro will survive the drought rate of 0,000 a year. That will mean no less an increase than 60,000 in the next six years. To meet this situation, the Negro must be fed. Thompson National Figure. Thompson at once, and again, becomes a candidate for a possible candidate for president. That makes four lively potential candidates.

GOLDEN TEXT - The Lord of the Christ the Son of the Living God PRIMARY TOPIC—Peter Pleases Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC — Confessing Our INTERMEDIATE AND GENERAL TOPIC — Confessing Church Opinion TOPIC — Confessing TOPIC — What think ye of Christ! The disciples had been with the Lord for several years. They had witnessed and witnessed His mighty works, opinions were extant about Him. Since Jesus was soon to go to the cross it had a definite and true conception of Him. In order to help them into the right conception, He provoked this concession, the spokesman of the group of disciples. 1. Peter's Confession (v. 13, 15). 2. Peter's Confession (v. 13, 15). Two questions of Christ put to the disciples called forth this great concession. 1. When do men say I the Son of Man, am (v. 13). 1. He first inquired for the opinion of the people concerning Him. As a woman, he was a prophet, with more than human intellect, who helps crystallize the 'view' of the disciples. The people recognized Jesus as a prophet, with more than human intellect, who helps crystallize the 'view' of the disciples. The people recognized Jesus as an unique personality, and as having been a great teacher, but that which offends them is His Lord. IV. The Cost of Discipleship (v. 24). To follow Christ means to suffer. It requires Christ to suffer in the world. There must be denial of self. There is a wide difference between self-delin and the denial of self. 2. Take up His cross. 3. Take up suffering and shame which lie in the path of loyalty to God. 4. Follow Christ. This means to have the mind of Christ to be like Christ. Christ will be like Christ. The Power of God Many a battle has been won by the arrival of reinforcements. When a man is fighting a battle against the power of God into his soul often means victory.

"A ND then," the little girl sat with her knees under her chin and was in the light of romance and renaming it a clatter as of hores feet on the paying outside. It was—it was the prince in a golden chariot, come to play the Mary to the picnic at the castle." So the story went on for Bonnie Lawr, plain of feature and modest in appearance, audience. When she saw the fairies and the lands of spider she was no longer the skinny Lawr girl. Her mother was taller, her chin high. The circle tightened about her and Nathan Cromwell, of the freedfecked wife, was closest. It was a raft in the creek, when Bonnie Lawr "get to seeing things." After it was over and the girl had gone home in Minden, she thanked her stars rurally that she had an imagination. Always, in her play, she listened for the clatter in horses and the coming of the prince. Then it was the limousine came up the street. Bonnie's imagination came up by without stopping. Her limousine drew up to the curb and she rose frightened. It was a beautiful car and she alighted and was opening the door. The man who walked up to her door were a high kait. It was the first Bonnie Law and ever seen. In the plop she had come to explain the dressmaker went "Miss Law," the magnificent stranger was bowing. "I have come to take you to the picnic, if you will let me." She coneved on coneversions had found this surprising substitute for Platt Tears. As in a dream she walked to the car and she came a clatter of clooves in the cone. Never seen. The stranger could see she was radiant. "And then, and then," he was saying and then she came a clatter of clooves in the cone. "Nate Crownwell!" "Nate Crownwell!" You don't know I have been looking for you! Do you think I will be successful some day and come back! Bonnie, I went back to Minden, and you were gone. No one could tell me "But Nate, I didn't think you meant it. I thought you had forgotten. You had. And so she rode to the picnic and when the crowd shotbed a welcome man, she had her second surprise. This magnificent man, this Nate Crownwell of the city, was the first to kiss her, the governor. The little dreammaker's dream and come true."

"The was a terrible hamburger I bought here yesterday!" she said. "Is that so? I'm sorry to hear that. Here is some we made today. Try it. I'm sure you find it very good." "No, indeed," she said.

I message, coming from the angelic guard of the mall as Our heart of Christ's followers who sought Him in the house of He foretold His triumph over death, the true impiance of His statement and declaration had never been prehended and realized by those who followed Him daily as He performed such works, deeds and miracles as no man had ever done. Though He came to die and expatriate His life upon the R cross for the salvation and reclamation of man, the true pu of His mission was misunderstood by those nearest and to Him, and when He breathed out His life upon Golgotha's heights, the hope of His disciples was interred in Joseph's. But the faithful women, in keeping with their custom, early to the grave on the Sabbath morning to demonstrate love and respect to One who had spoken as no other man and who had wrought as no other man wrought. Imagine their utter surprise and astonishment when info by the celestial defender of the sepulchre that Jesus of Nazna they sought, was not there but was risen! "If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is our prea vain and your faith is vain, and we are of all men most miserful thundered the Apostle Paul, in one of his celebrated epistles: communicants of one of the early apostolic churches. In this discourse, Paul was preaching on the immortality of soul and the resurrection from the dead, on which hangs our eternal life and redemption from the Adamic fall. 172 arose message, coming from the angelic guardian of the sepulchre, that early Sabbath barm, struck awe and consternation over the hearts of Christ's followers who sought Him in the tomb. He foretold His triumph over death, the true import and licence of His statement and declaration had never been fully prehended and realized by those who followed Him daily and wished him perform such works, deeds and miracles as no other day had ever done to him. Though He came to die and expiate His life upon the Roman cross for the salvation and reclamation of man, the true purpose of His mission was misunderstood by those nearest and closest to Him, and when He breathed out His life upon Golgotha's rugged heights, the hope of His disciples was intered in Joseph's tomb. But the faithful women, in keeping with their custom, came early to the grave on the Sabbath morning to demonstrate their love and respect to One who had spoken as no other man spoke and who had wrought as no other man wrought. Imagine their utter surprise and astonishment when informed by the celestial defender of the sepulchre that Jesus of Nazareth, they sought, was not there but was risen! "If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is our preaching vain and your faith is vain, and we are of all men most miserable," thundered the Apotheca Paul in one of his celebrated epistles to the communicants of one of the early apostolic churches. In the tomb, we preached on the immortality of the son and the resurrection from the dead on which hangs our hope of eternal life and redemption from the Adamic fall. "He is not here; He is risen!" To further remove their doubts and misgivings, the healer guardian at the tomb invited these early visitors to inspect Master's erstwhile resting place—"Come, see the place when Lord lay" and be convinced that He had triumphed over powers of earth, hell and the grave. The whole scheme of human redemption hinges upon faith the dual personality of Jesus Christ, who, by offering Himself a propiration for man's sin, became the second Adam and established connection between the Creator and the crest which was disrupted in the Garden of Eden.

The whole scheme of human redemption hinges upon faith and the dual personality of Jesus Christ, who, by offering Himself as a propitiation for man's sin, became the second Adam and reestablished connection between the Creator and the creature, which was disrupted in the Garden of Eden. With songs of victory and paens of thanksgiving, all Christendom celebrates Easter Sunday as the day of His mighty triumph—as the occasion when He arose from His deathly repose and marched triumphantly and majestically from the sepulchre, reuniting a sinful world with a sin-forgiving God and making the plan of salvation sure and complete. To dispel their doubt and glom, Christ later appeared to His disciples and demonstrated the fact that His resurrection was not The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper a myth and fairy tale, and that His saying, "The son of man has power to lay down His life and He has power to take it up again," was no idle boast nor empty threat. Easter is not a festal occasion nor event to be marked (and married) by pump, splendor and extravagant display and fashion; but it one day that man, women and children should celebrate with fitting and appropriate religious services, adoring, extolling and praising the name of Him who came, died and arose to complete the plan of man's redemption, reclamation and salvation. Make joyful noise unto the Lord, and let your anthems and solemn reclaim to a dying world that Christ lives triumphant now! "He is not here; He is risen" Truly Christ lived; truly Christ died; truly Christ arose from the dead; truly Christ lives and now forever! Amen! LEAD TO BE PAGE The preparatory spiritual "Negteen," the last heaves have been excused, and the last day of the day is not here; He is risen! HONOR GRADUATES FROM CRIME SCHOOLS! according to newspaper versions of the killing, apparent blood, of a white man in Houston recently by two New York forced their way into the dead man's home in quest of real values and then shot the man to death as he obeyed amons and orders, shows once more what The Informed recently contended concerning the numerous crime-incubationly flourishing in this city, some of them almost with their's throw of the city hall—and the large number of others of them cum magna laud graduates) turned out by institutions—dives, joints, resorts and dens. When one considers the unusually large number of real, highly Negro men and young men in this city it not neither do spin," it is amazing that more or not committed here and charged at the door of these parasites. any man who endeavors to dodges honest labor and lives at the expense of other citizens, is a constant menace; for when the wolf begins to howl at his door, in den he will resort to anything, and very few criminals in a program of discrimination when it comes to taking a crime. These local agencies which are contributing to the delinquency criminality of so many Negroes, such as bootlegging jibings, "policy wheels," "club pool halls, domino patena, should be suppressed; particularly these institutes which are running in open and defiant violation of the law currently under the connivance and by consent of certains in this community. this paper is not essaying to sit in judgment upon the case, nor any member of the race as such; but crime-incubation so obiquitous in this city that those in official authority seize a cognizance of them, and make an earnest close and padlock all such places. Whenever some heinous and atrocious crime is committed at the door of some Negro, by a peculiar specimen so many of them of the race will clearly crop of law violators, their pleas usually fall upon deaf ears. If the black man enjoyed and exercised the same political influence as other groups in our polygot population signer would be permitted to operate places which have lawed by law and public opinion, and which (said pledge to and make for the poverty and criminality of) in this connection it will be observed that neither foreign native-born citizens can make much headway operating and manning questionable resorts and notorious debauch and destroy young white people, and no race to safeguard and protect its young people can hope to reach in the scale of civilization. According to newspaper versions of the killing, apparently in cold blood, of a white man in Houston recently by two Negroes, who forced their way into the dead man's home in quest of money and valuables and then shot the man to death as he obeyed their summons and orders, shows once more what The Informer has repeatedly contended concerning the numerous crime-incubators openly flourishing in this city, some of them almost within a stone's throw of the city hall—and the large number of products (many of them cum magna laude graduates) turned out by these local institutions—dives, joints, resorts and dens. When one considers the unusually large number of robust, vigorous and healthy Negro men and young men in this city who "toll not neither do they spin," it is amazing that more crimes are not committed here and charged at the door of these idlers and parasites. Any man who endeavors to dodgs honest labor and live on his wits at the expense of other citizens, is a constant menace to society; for when the wolf begins to howl at his door, in desperation he will resort to anything, and very few criminals will indulge in a program of discrimination when it comes to committing a crime. These local agencies which are contributing to the delinquency and criminality of so many Negroes, such as bootlegging joints, gambling dens, "policy wheels," "club" pools hall, domo parlers, et cetera, should be suppressed; particularly these institutions which are running in open and defiant violation of the law, but apparently under the convivance and by consent of certain elements in this community. This paper is not essaying to sit in judgment upon the race, per se, nor any member of the race as such; but crime-incubators are so objuctuous in this city that those in official authority should take cognizance of them, and make an earnest and sincere effort to close and padlock all such places. The precious crime is committed by or charged at the door of some Negro, by a peculiar species of reasoning so many of the white race will classify all black people along with the black criminals, and thus our entire race is held responsible and accountable for the misdeeds of one black man or woman. This is not a question of authority to remove the causes that produce these criminals and to destroy the agencies that are breeding and developing such an ungodly and unwieldy crop of law violators, their pleas and requests usually fall upon dead men. We must exercise the same political power and influence as other groups in our polygot population, no foreigner would be permitted to operate places which have been outlawed by law and public opinion, and which (said places) contribute to and make for the poverty and criminality of the people. In this connection it will be observed that neither foreigners nor native-born citizens can make much headway operating, running and manning questionable resorts and notorious dives that debauch and destroy young white people, and no race which is not native-born can make young people can hope to attain much in the scale of civilization. VOTERS AND ELECTIVE FRANCHISE RIGHTS due to the fact that such a small number of local voters votes for members of the board of education of the Hot dependent School District, in the biennial elections, an agit is begun here to return to the appointive system of selel trustees, and at least two of the daily newspapers, and up their editorial forces in support of this movement, the apathy or indifference of the voter has nothing to do. Due to the fact that such a small number of local voters cast ballots for members of the board of education of the Houston Independent School District, in the biennial elections, an agitation has been begun here to return to the apportive system of selecting school trustees, and at least two of the daily newspapers have lined up their editorial forces in support of this movement. The apathy or indifference of the voter has nothing to do with taking away any of his or her elective franchise rights because the voter does not exercise that right; and, if we were to return to the apportive system as it relates to our school trustee board merely because such a few voters manifest any interest in said elections what disposition will be made of the elective franchise rights of those citizens who fail to register at the polls when other elections are held? With bond issues for civic development and municipal expansion approximating $7,000,000 before the Houston voters Monday, about 5,000 voters out of a possible 40,000 to 50,000 took the trouble to go to the polls and cast a ballot either for or against the thirteen propositions on the ballot. The large number of citizens exercised their voting rights in this election, despite the passage of all bond issues, we abolish such elections and delegate to the city council supreme authority to pass and issue such bonds without popular approval? The same lack of interest was also shown by local voters last Monday in the general city election, when the mayor, four city council members and three overwhelmingly returned to office, all of them being unposed. Because the general city election, which is merely perfunctory (the democratic nomination having been equivalent to election heretofore), does not bring out a large number of voters, shall we consider the general city election as the official or committee to appoint the city officials of Houston? As a general proposition, Southern voters demonstrate very little interest in any where the "political fireworks" are conspicuous by their absence, but this is no y y bane or logical reason why their elective franchise rights are taken away LEADING HOUSTONIANS TO BE SEEN IN COLORFUL PAGEANT NEXT WEEK The preparations for the mammoth spiritual Negro historical pageant "Milleniums," are near completion. The choir, which has been excellent and it is felt that a treat is in store for the public on Monday and Tuesday afternoon at the Negro Theater. The singing of the spirituals and the song by the large chorus, the spirituals and with the added instrumentation, will reach its climax in melody and emotion, and the acting by the musicians. Many transcriptions and compositions by gentleman Negro composers with the composers will be Samuel Cole Burleigh, Cameron White- and N. Clark Smith. In the opening chorus of "Go Down," Moses, song of one of the city's most beautiful singing pianists, is accompanied by a chorus of sixty voices and by a chorus of coalescence Taylor's African dance "Bambouli." In the transcription of "I'm So Glad Tradition," I feel like a Motherless Child which is sung very touchingly by Mrs. a group of four orchestrations from the Neuro spiritualist of Clarence Cummings. The first song, *Do Treble Ive Seen* "I Tm Brobled Someone Ive Seen* "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" will be played by the Prairie Children's Theater. "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" by N. Cummings will be the eighth episode a lilaby written by W. Work, a world-renowned University of Work, *Work*. Original jubilee singers, will be sung by N. D.

"We live in lives, not years; in thoughts, not breath; in feelings, not dial; we should count time by heart-throne when they beat For God, for man, for duty. He most Who thinks most, feels noblest, act, life is the means an unto end, beginning, and end to all things, God, (Balley.)

What a wonder he been spared just a little longer crowded their way into our museum during the past several hours. And years, his thoughts not breath, his feelings set figures on the dail, his duty, his duty he had time enough! Too soon! Well, he had 32 years. Wife had 32 years. We remember the teacher of me, who transformed life transformed all, had just 32 years. On 8. May 1844, Millard Sillard and his twin brother Wille was born the seventh out of ten offsprings to that school of Houston and was a mom- colored High School of 1910. At school and at play he was ever active always from early childhood he was fond of door-and sports and was a very various sort. 1915, Sidney was happily married to Miss Ekelheim - four children, all boys, to bless While Sidney was yet a small boy an amputation with the Houston Hospice. He was with them until June, 1916, at which time he was posted to the Houston postoffice as a letter carrier. In this capacity he served for words with what he deplored for involuntarily coming again and again involuntarily coming again and again. If any man will come after me, no one himself and take up his cross daily and his life shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same. The extra activities in which Sidney will lose his life are the past several years are a lasting character. For myself self-sacrificing character. For Boyonton Chapel, in the varied capacities of chard secretary, trustee, and superintendent of Sidney did work for the Houston Department.

Certainly the man who has Jesus and had learned to walk Those who knew Sidney Milkard best, marvelled at the simplicity of his work, thought him poor; his friends knew him well, and money—rich in ideas. Although his education so far as schools were concerned, he had a storehouse full of ideas for he to use. He gave a gift of choosing good books. Rich in woodcraft, rich in nature love—as well as his early morning bike (not a part of his program) soon discovered. But great love of nature abounded of love and good will from the communities which he served. And so on April 3, 1927, he came to the city of Milkard, crossing the roads of his life. He lives long "Wouldst thou live long?" The only means are these: "Bave Gods bless you! Strive to live well; treat in the upright ways. And rather count thy actions than words. Then thou hast lived enough amongst For every day well spent I count Live well, then, how soon now thou die Then thou must claim eternity. But that only cuckoo Nestor, and appear To have passed the date of gray and death years, If he his life to life and sin doth I say he was—he did not live!" (kandohp).
