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 Chicago, Ill.—“Mayor Dever will be re-elected, because the people understand the issue. This is a white man's city.” Thus said the final statement of George Brennan, democratic boss of Chicago, and one time nominee for the United States senate. The democrats, under Brennan, made the Negro the chief issue of the campaign for mayor, much to the chagrin of Mayor Dever, and embarrassment of several thousand Negroes who had voted for a democratic mayor once, and who might have, to some extent, voted again. Brennan claims the act "political expediency." And the Asian Party of China, the story concerning the wild and loathsome tactics of the democrats in their eagerness to re-elect Mayor Dever. Up to the last minute, the bosses of the democrats resorted to the cheapest and foulest sort of America. He has a long history of order and a strong interest in the people. William of theاسترس was to send letters to 10,000 Negroes to meet "Bill" Thompson at a big downtown hotel, and then someone was to holler "rape," and start a riot. This was frustrated, and the men of the political party were so tired of the lively menage Negroes, who rode through the streets with white women, displaying Thompson banners; bands going through the loop playing, "Bye, Bye, Blackbird," and other things too numerous to mention, were used. Then, Brennan's final statement. William Hale Thompson was elected, President. Dever was the first to put the party in the hands of the American民主党. It is announced that Thompson will come to 1000. There were more than 100,000 Negro voters in all parts of the city, according to some; at the lowest estimate there were 60,000. A change of the party was not to be made. Dever again got a plurality of more than 50,000 votes in the first of the year this year. The second, the second and the second. There are more than 500. There are more than 500. Third, and Fourth wards. There are more than 500. There are more wards with large Negro populations. As the Asian Anderson was 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. (2) "Whom say ye that I am?" (v.15). This question involved the personal opinion of the disciples concerning Him. To be able to tell what others think of Jesus is not enough. There must be definite, correct and personal belief in Him. Personal belief is worth infinitely more than the knowledge of what others think, for upon personal belief hinges character and destiny. 2. What Peter's confession involved (v.16). Two vital things, the Messiahship and deity of Jesus. That which Jesus called forth from Peter is the burning question of today. "What think ye of Christ?" is the question that must be answered by everyone. 3. Christ's commendation of Peter (v. 17). He pronounced him blessed. Truly he was blessed, for he both possessed and confessed Christ. 11. The New Body, the Church, Announced by Christ (vv. 18-20). Christ declared His intention of bringing into existence a new body, to bring the members of which He will give eternal life and into whose hands He would entrust the keys of the Kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished place in this body. Christ declared that Peter should be the foundation of the Church. His first the chief corner stone upon which the church is built. Christ's person and Messiahship were confessed by Peter and on this rock (truth confessed) is laid the foundation of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). All believers are living stones of this house (I Pet. 2:5). The keys entrusted to Peter were used on the day of Pentecost and again in the case of Cornelius. 11. The Cross the Way to the Throne (vv. 21-23). From that time Jesus began to show untrue the disciples how that He must go unto Jesusalem and suffer many things, be killed and raised again the third day. This indeed startled the disciples. They did not yet realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion of the cross. So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter cried: "This shall not be unto thee." Peter later saw through this darkness to the glory of the hilltops. A new hope then filled the heart of Peter 1:8. (1) The start of the doctrine of salvation and redemption through the suffering of the cross. Salvation by blood is hated by the devil. 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.

"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. Jasonville was planning its spring festival. The governor was going to deliver a speech, the silver cornet band was to play, and several hundred school children in marvels of homemade costumes were scheduled to execute maneuvers on the green. The little town fluttered in excitement a mouth ahead of the date but when the time narrowed to a week, and then a day, nothing else was worthy of conversation. Hadn't the merchants agreed to lock doors, and weren't the church ladies going to serve ice cream? On a little home in Elder's avenue a sign proclaimed: "Miss Bonnie Law, dressmaking." There behind the window, waiting for her prince, was a brown-eyed woman of something over thirty. She was the Bonnie's old doing of her best to pretend that Platt Peters, assistant at the garage, was a prince and that the automobile he would presently steer to the curb was a chariot. Platt, as a member of the "committee on conveyances" had agreed to see that Miss Law reached the picnic grounds. As he was married, very fat, and smoked a vile pipe it was so difficult to picture him as the prince, the Bonnie sighed. 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." Need Another Deluge "It seems a pity," Mark Twain once said, "that Noah and members of his family did not miss the boat." "This statement was intended as a joke," adds Ed Howe, "but there is a good deal more than a joke in it. If Noah and members of his family had not found safety in the ark, the human race would have ended with the flood. Up to the time of Noah, the people had acted in such a foolish way that the Lord decided it was best to destroy them. The descendants of Noah are not doing any better. So it seems a pity Noah and members of his family did not miss the boat."—Caper's Weekly. Foot Worh For two days they had a Swedish clerk in one of the store doors on Holly Street, but he might have been had not the bobs detected him in the act of throwing them into the waste basket. "He! What! The idea of throwing them like that!" "They have no good. I try them on six sally later and they don't work." Just a Little Smile SHE COULDN'T BE FOOLED A recent bride on one of her first shopping trips determined to have it out with the butcher. "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. "You don't fool me again; just give me two pounds of ham and I'll make my own hamburger." — "Gorles" Magazine. NO ENCUMBRANCE He-And your dad owns this estate with no encumbrances on it, you say?

HOBART TAYLOR, agency manager of ordinary department of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, was born in Wharton, Texas, receiving his early schooling in the public schools of Wharton County, later taking his college work at Paul Quinn College, Waco, and Prairie View College. Mr. Taylor's entrance into the field of life insurance is due largely to H. P. Carter, who as agency manager for the Standard Life Insurance Company, interested Mr. Taylor in this line of endeavor. While with the Standard Life Insurance Company, Mr. Taylor is one of the leading products for the company, making an enviable record. In 1925, he resigned his position with the Standard Life Insurance Company of the ordinary department of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, where he has kept up his wonderful record as a producer. Mr. Taylor now takes under his supervision, as manager of the ordinary department of South Texas, all assets for the National Benefit and those agents formerly connected with the Standard, in his territory. He is highly elated over the promotion to this new position and states that South Texas will lead all districts in the entire 28 states in which the National Benefit is now operating. Mr. Taylor has had special training in the insurance business, having completed a full course in life insurance, a salesmanship at Atlanta, Ga., in 1924. Be your own boss.

(Horse Power") CARTER, now state manager for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, was born at Knoxville, Tenn., completing his grammar and high school education. He graduated in 1913 from Knoxville College, located in his home town. Coming to Texas, he taught school for three years, and on the entrance of the United States in the World War, he was one of the two teachers on to pass the rigid office examination at Camp Travis for a Heutenancy. On his return from the war, Mr. Carter was elected executive secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. in which position he served with credit to him. In the years he had been巡官 for his position. Later Mr. Carter resigned his position with the 1913 V. M. C. A. to become an agent for the Standard Life, being promoted in a very short while to district and then to agency manager. Mr. Carter is given credit for having trained several young men in the insurance profession who are now making excellent records. In 1923, he won the Heman E. Perry cup for making the best record for the first six months of any agent of color in America. He now becomes state manager for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in Texas, and has under his supervision over 100 men. He is peculiarly fitted to assist the managers of South and North Texas in developing their agents and with the largest number of high-income companies in Texas. Mr. Carter was sought after by several other companies when the National Benefit purchased the Standard but after mature deliberation and conferences with several of his close friends and the management of others from Messrs.

WHITE STUDENTS STUDY PROBLEMS BETWEEN GROUPS Chapel Hill, N. C.-C. Race relations, along with international affairs and industrial problems, occupied the earnest attention of the faculty and students of North Carolina located here, through the week of March 30-25. The occasion was the first Quadrille Institute on campus, the first university auxiliary supersites of the College Y.M.C.A. and led by many outstanding authorities. The speakers on race relations were J. Weldon Johnson of New York, secretary of the NAACP, and director of Atlanta, director of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation; Prof. W. C. Jackson, vice-president of North Carolina College for Women and Women's College; and J. J. Cornell of India. Each made a distinctive contribution. Mr. Johnson appeared before many of the classes from day to day, setting forth the contributions that Negroes had made to American music, literature and art. He handled his subject with rare insight and skill and completely won his auditors. On Friday evening, he addressed the group's friends, meeting on the American interracial situation, setting forth the fact that the Negro is essentially an American, feels that he is entitled to the rights of citizenship, and expects sooner or later to receive them. "Whether America shall be able to find a way to give him these rights," said the speaker, "will be the ultimate test of this country's democracy." No one on the program was more favorably received or read with greater courtesy than Mrs. Johnson. W. W. Alexander, in addition to meeting a number of classes, spoke Sunday morning on education and race relations, maintaining that in these days if intimate world relations, education to be effective must teach men of different races to understand and respect each other and to deal fairly one with another. Mr. Newbold told the remarkable story of Negro education in North Carolina, Jackson, in the general subject of race relations, and J. J. Cornelius talked on world aspects of the problem. Among the speakers on international relations were Krije Pata, Dr. W. L. Dr. Alva W. T. Taylor and E. M. Paterk. Dr. Alva W. T. Taylor and E. M. Paterk national understanding and permanent Peace.

APRIL 16. 1927 MIMS EXTOLLED WASHINGTON IN TUSKEGEE TALK (By The Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, America—In the Institute Chapel here, where for years the late Booker Washington presided, Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt University, author of "The Advancing South," delivered the second Pounder Ladders, and then, after an aftermath, euolizing Tuskegee Institute's founder, as a well-balanced leader who "kept his feet on the ground and found the ideal in the real" and urging continued fidelity to the philosophy of his life. Founder's Day exercises are held every week of the afternoon of the life work of Dr. Washington and in conjunction with the semi-annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees which regularly brings to the institute a number of distinguished Americans who have been the American leader. The first was the New York, William Jay Schleffelin of New York, chairman of the board of trustees; C. A. Wickersham, member of the board and president of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and the Board of Ladders, the Commission. The Intracidal Co-operation, both of Atlanta; and a party of sixteen from Chicago headed by Julius Rosenwald, trustee and philanthropist, including Professor William E. Dodd of University of New York, and Dr. Stern's executive director of the Rosenwald fund and others. Before this group and the students and faculty of the institute and the country folk of the district—a representative cross section of the public—has been held in the first year for adherence to the substantial things of life as exemplified by the life of Dr. Washington. "He was patient without being negative or supine—patient with the limitations of human nature and with the means by which things are being made." Thus Dr. Mims characterized the Tuskegee sage. "He was magnanimous even towards his enemies and calm in an emergency or crisis. He had courage to take the risk of the situation and was seemingly impossible conditions. He loved his people more than he loved the approval of all of them at all times. He was as idealist, but he was not a realist. He held the idea that the ideal in the real. He believed that economic efficiency and material wellbeing are a good foundation for progress in education and culture, but it is not a good one of the things of being a materialist or a Phillist. He had intelligence—good common sense touched with wisdom—but he was not an 'intellectual.' He had humor, but he was so very unrestful. He had a great sense of the world. He was an optimistic, but not a sentimental fool who ignored facts or followed the line of least resistance. He was rational, but he had that adventure. He was as a liberal or progressive, but not a radical; for he knew that the world can not be built in a day, and he was willing to work with it. He was so very unrestful, but he was so very unrestful, and he would come to a working agreement with his fellows. He might easily have inflamed a race; he preferred to lend it in the way he had to do with his friends, and not a sensational, brilliant writer, engaging in pyrotechics or rhetoric, but his rugged maxims were hewn from life, as when he said that "an inch of the time of his life is the time of his heart. He could be a complaint," and "No one can drag me down" low as to make he hate him.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1927 CHRIST LIVES TRIUMPHANT NOW! bution. Lee is not here; He is risen as He 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.

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.

"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.

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.
