White Planters Employ Force In Flood District Upon Black Farm Hands ARREST MALONE IN SPRINGFIELD; MIND DERANGED (By The Associated Negro Press.) St. Louis, Mo.—Aaron Malone had another mental collapse immediately following the settlement of his receivership suit last week, and was arrested in Springfield, Illinois, where he was taken into custody because of his unbecoming conduct. When arrested Malone said he was being driven crazy since his marital entanglements. Such utterance, according to persons who heard Malone, does not support the rumor that he was not satisfied with the terms of the receivership suit settlement. It was authoritatively learned that while Malone contended for a half-interest in the million-dollar Poro College, the money involved in the entire settlement did not exceed $50,000. Malone accepted as his part $9,000 and his attorneys were paid $35,000, according to information given by one of the same lawyers. Malone's attorney.

Forlard, was a member of the family of Springfield to live with a friend there for an indefinite period. A month ago, Malone injured himself by a back-to-back injury, and he was at 4212 Cook Avenue, where he was staying with a friend, R. C. Jackson, who explained Malone had been brooding over his domestic troubles. At City Hospital No. 2, where he was living, he was a window glass, physicians said he was in an extremely nervous state, and recommended a rest. It is understood he will have to understand a thorough examination by FIRST PLACE TO COLORED YOUTH IN KAN. CONTEST (By The Associated Negro Press.) Weibls, Karen—Marcus M.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Source of Courage. The vindication of the house of God against the hypocritical act of Ananins and Sapphira had a salutary effect upon the people. The hypocrites were deterred from joining the church, but true-hearted men and women were all the more attracted to it, even identifying themselves with it. So great was the stir in Jerusalem that even the sick folk were brought where but the shadow of Peter might fall upon them. 1. The Apostles in Prison (vv. 17-18). The marvelous success which accompanied the teaching of the apostles was too much for the Sadducees to endure. Their jealous wrath was aroused to such an extent that they laid the cruel hand of persecution upon these witnesses for Christ. Cain was jealous of Abel; Joseph's brethren sold him in slavery because he was the favorite of Jacob. Saul was jealous of David when the women ascribed greater glory to him. H. The Apostles Miraculous Deliverance (vv. 19-21). 1. The Lord sent an angel to open the prison and let the prisoners free (vv. 19). There are no doors, nor bolts capable of shutting out God's angel. 2. They were commanded to go at once and speak to the people. (v. 20). The message they were to deliver was the "Words of this life." Most of the disciples were to die the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our obedience遮妒 (v. 21).

Their necessity (v. 22-24). The officer was sent to bring the prisoner, but lo, when they came to the jail it was empty. This news greatly perplexed the council. (vv. 25, 26). When one came with the news that the apostles were teaching in the temples before the council, they before them the council. They refrained from the use of violence because they feared the people. The apostles questioned (vv. 27, 28). The council demanded of them the reason for not heeding the charge the apostles were facing, and they should not teach any more in the name of Jesus. This persistent testimony the officers intercepted as an attempt to guilt of Jesus血 upon themselves. 5. The apostles say. Peter boldly repudiated the were they guilty of the God rather than men. He further told them that they were guilty of the murder of Jesus Christ and that God had raised them to be a Prince and a Savior to give to repentance and remission of sins to Israel, and also that He had made the apostles a Sailor, Spirit, of these things. 6. The Result (vv. 33-42). 7. They determined to kill the apostles. Pete's staining words cut to the quick, but their desperate wickedness filled them with murderous reprehension. They could not answer the message, so the only way was to kill their enemy. A damnell's counsell (v. 84, 80). He advised neutrality, assuring them that if it be a work of man it would come to nought, but if it be of the apostle it would be a work of cause they would be engaged in the hopeless task of fighting against God. The apostles beaten (v. 40). They ventured their rage by beating the apostles and charging them not to speak in Christ's name. The behavior of the apostles (v. 41).

G. Holland. Booker T. Washington spent a lifetime building Tuskegee Institute. But the whole world recognizes Tuskegee as a model in the field of industrial education. As we walk through the spacious marble banking room of one of the leading banks of Houston, we contemplate with awe the concentration of forty odd million dollars under the control of that institution. Seldom, however, do we reflect upon the fifty odd years of hard work and honest endeavor involved in its building. It took 100,000 men twenty years to build the Pyramid of Cheops. But generations for millions of years will stand in wonder and amazement before the results of the toil and patience of the Egyptian builders in those days of long ago. It has taken the successive contributions of generation after generation to build America to the place of prestige and power which she occupies today. NEGROES CAN DEVELOP INSTITUTIONS OF PERMANENCY AND POWER ONLY UPON ONE CONDITION: That each generation will build upon the structure built by generations gone before a new addition to that structure which will aid and stimulate the generations yet to come.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds.

The separation of church and state forms a basic principle of the American theory of government. "Hender unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's," expresses the proposition with the aphoristic aptness of the greatest of all social thinkers. From the beginning until now the government has been operated upon this foundation principle. Minister of the gospel have in the main attended to spiritual matters, while unto God the things have been addressed. Very rarely has a preacher functioned in the government. Today, I cannot recall a single minister of the gospel in either branch of congress, in the cabinet or in any high public station. At the same time, the church has always shown a becoming interest in politics as all good citizens should do. Frequently political issues take on the sharp differentiation of moral principle. The slavery question finally assumed this phase. Church organizations and churches were left no room to resist the question. The question is likewise a question of social righteousness. The minister can hardly remain true to his conscience or his calling if he throws the weight of his influence on the wrong side. Besides, a citizen by taking on ministerial vows does not lose any of the prerogatives of citizenship. The gravamen of the objection is to religious organizations exposing any particular party or candidate, and to the minister himself becoming a candidate for political office. Managers so prerogatively through the ages from the minister use of priestly power to effect political ends that the combination always breeds suspicion. Any compact religious organization, like the Catholic or the Methodist bodies, naturally labor under great stress of temptation to use its sacred control for secular and political purposes. So great is this suspicion that a favored candidate for the presidency has recently been forced to open declaration that neither his personal devotion to his faith nor the great power of the church has the slightest effect upon his official conduct, if elevated to the chief martyrry. But here as elsewhere, these general principles do not ordinarily apply to the Negro race. The spheres of the state and church often become inextricably confined in the black man's mind. His participation in church and the general recognition of his citizenship. The most capable men of these reelected electors ship from religious organizations. Fred Douglas began his public career as an exhorter in a Methodist church. There was no other platform or field for the exhilation of his pen up powers. When the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments spent up the flood gate of politics to the race there was dalmation movement from the church to the state. The flood gate of politics was the minister of ministers as ministers of the gospel. Senator Revels of Mississippi, the first Negro sit in the United States senate, was a Methodist minister. Professor Francis L. Cordozzo, the secretary of state of South Carolina, came from the Congregational pulpit. Vice versa, when the reactionary movement of seventy-six shut down the flood gate of political advantage, there was a sixurent movement back to the church. The experience acquired in the political arena was a sixurent experience where white politicians again became bishops and priests and priests into God. The situation of the Negro makes the union of the two functions inevitable. The Negro church forms still the chief organizations through which the race can be corralled and controlled. There are forty thousand Negro churches which in many instances furnish the only meeting places for political discussion and deliberation. The Negro's political organizations, as such, have little more binding power than a coil of smoke. When the white politician is elected, he is forced to deal with the Negro Negro preacher. There is no other efficient agency where they can be reached. It is needless to indulge in condemnation of the colored clergy for giving right guidance and direction to their parishioners with reference to public policies and the wise use of the ballot. They can lay hands on a larger contingency of the race than any other type of organization. It also becomes their racial duty to give needed information and wise counsel to those who must needs look to them for guidance. We may therefore expect the Negro church and Negro churchmen to function for some time to come. The race will be compelled to fall back upon the prescriber for political guidance for the reason that Negro politicians have only a precarious basis for a livelihood. They do not control elections and offices, as the white politicians do, but are mainly political mendicants stretching forth their hands to the white bosses for the crumbs that from his bountiful table. He, therefore, licks independence, and must shift his skills to the exigencies of the white political system. He is not the one whom he derives his livelihood. Of course, President Coolidge should be renominated; of course, every Negro should support his renaming and re-election; of course, he is or will be the best friend of the Negro since Grant. These and like concomitants flow from the politician's mouth with suspicious facility. They have no meaning or merit. They dare not, at peril of their political livelihood, say otherwise. Advice is of absolutely no value when the advisor is not free to give advice otherwise. The Negro minister is supposed to be free. He does not depend upon the favor of white politicians to govern. He is not the one whom he derives his livelihood. It therefore, becomes his boundary duty to guide them courageously and rightly in the way they should go. We shall continue to look to the minister for incidental political advice until we develop a set of politicians who are not dependent upon politics for petty jobs. As a matter of history, our political spokesman have come mainly from the ministerial ranks. a Bishop of the A. M. E. Church was the race's acknowledged spokesman under President McKinley. Bishop Waters served in like capacity under President Wilton. In numerous instances, ministers were not given the opportunity to be filled offender, I believe, by a minister by than a layman. Rev. Dr. J. M. Townsend gave up his classical assignment to become register of the land office under President Harrison, as Rev. Dr. Roberts had done before him. He was the school work to become registrar of the treasury under President Roosevelt. Before these words shall have reached the reader's eye, Bishop Carey will undoubtedly have followed the worthy example of his worthy colleague and declined the offer with thanks.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927 HOUSTON'S "BLACK CRIME WAVE." Judging from dail be reciting many white men and the terror and fiend," re on the outskirts of the city for if this community is a penance to the en Judging from daily newspaper reports and stories, which have been reciting many heinous and brutal crimes perpetrated upon white men and their female companions by some local "black terror and fiend," resulting in the fatal shooting of a man on the outskirts of Houston on night of a fight that the police described as this criminal or these criminals; for if this community is infested with such a bestial character, he is a penance to the entire community. Judging from daily newspaper reports and stories, which have been reciting many heinous and brutal crimes perpetrated upon white men and their female companions by some local "black terror and fiend," resulting in the fatal shooting of a white youth in a Chicago suburb, is it possible that something was done to apprehend this criminal or these criminals; for if this community is infested with such a bestial character, he is a menace to the entire community. Several white couples, according to the daily newspapers, have recently been held up, embarrassed and on more than one occasion the female occupant of those "petting" cars has been criminally charged with the assault of a white youth, during, hold and well planned manner as to indicate that the "black" criminal is both an adept at his criminal profession and a "master mind" along his nefarious line. In several instances the attacked and outraged parties have been unable to give any intelligent description of their assailant, just charging that it was a "Negro" and, while the police and inmates are not aware of the assault, arrest the guilty fends, only one arrest has been made in connection with these lonely road attacks and murders. The Informer is bitterly opposed to crime, whether committed by black men or white men, and this paper is just as bitterly opposed, if not more so, to the manner in which these local criminal incubators are permitted to flourish in this community; and as a result, the criminals are given a certain type of protection, are allowed to openly thrive in this city, we are going to be treated to an overdose of criminal acts of all types and kinds. Given an inch, many weak-minded and criminally inclined persons will take an officer (for criminality is no respecter of persons) to remove the cause not do much to reduce criminality. Whether all these reported crimes are being committed by Negro men and youths or not, the fact remains (as the Inferior has vigorously contended on numerous occasions) that there are too many robust, healthy, fine-looking Negroes roaming the streets and the means of worship and tending to eke out a bare existence by resorting to their warts and endeavoring to get something for nothing. Far be it from this paper to even attempt to sit in judgment on these cases or to indict the colored race for them, but we are very much concerned about the potential criminal element among the black community, that the local "black crime wave" has not assumed even larger proportions, and is quite surprising to those of our race who are conversant with the awful conditions obtaining in this city. Why, almost within a stone's throw of the City Hall gambling dens and chance dives are in full blast day and night, most of them being owned and operated by foreigners, but catering essentially to the black community, is engineered by the peace officers are conducted periodically on one or two of these resorts, owned and operated by some black man. To be perfectly candid and brutally frank, conditions are awfully rotten in Houston, and, instead of improving they seem to be getting worse, and then every time some damnable and diabolical crime is committed and charged at the door of some black men, they are indicting finger of the community is pointed at the Negro race. One daily newspaper, in a recent editorial expression, urged that the colored citizens of Houston should help to ferret out these reported criminals and do their part in bringing to justice such beasts and fiends; but we have observed that this same white community is clam about the dens, dives and resorts, as well as the practices, which are calculated and designed to produce a bumper crop of criminals. Despite the fact that the colored citizens of Houston have let it be known that these crime-inocubants are a detriment both to the colored race and social order, our race is powerless against them. We must wink at wok, condone and tolerate such conditions, in the final analysis are partly, if not wholly, responsible for the products who emerge from these institutions of criminality and lawlessness. If the Negroes were in control of the law-enforcement agencies of Houston, we would not tolerate authority in their hands; if they were delegated with legal author- IMPORTANT! The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper city to close, padlock and jail effect of vice, crime and debauchery; yea, if they had a voice in the election and selection of municipal and county officials and peace officers, then their role in the fight against gangs and organized journalistic contemporary would be just sufficient use for such an implied indictment. The Informer, in line with all right-thinking citizens of both races, frowns upon and condemns such criminal outrages, and then they can apprehend the culprits, and that these "man huts" and "investigations," after they have progressed to a certain stage, will not be dropped like a hot brick, as has been done in connection with several of these alleged local attacks and crimes; to but arrest and to arrest the culprits, and to punish these crime-incubators to thrive and flourish in our community, is pure hypocrisy and mere straining at a gnat and trying to swallow a camel. As repeatedly stated in the editorial columns of this paper, until it is settled right; and the task of shattering Houston's crime waits for a police officer who can asses for spooning autosis is a carhean job that is devolved upon the shoulders of all the citizens of the community, without regard to color, creed or class; but to do this successfully and effectively, our efforts must be directed at the source without regard to the connection will become as sounding brass and thinking cymbals.

Reports reaching The Informer from members of our race who have either been marooned in the Mississippi River flood area or on the coast of the great barrier reef tell of the awful suffering among black residents of that valley. How negro men are kept in virtual slavery in the refugee camps by armed soldiers, at the behest of plantation owners and demagogic politicians, the latter being more puppets and manikins the hands of these white planters. In the Bermuda section of the Mississippi River valley (just as in the Bermuda valley of Texas), Negroes are held in abject peonage, a type of slavery more vicious and dehumanizing than human mind can conjure or comprehend; and when the raging waters of the Mississippi began to overflow and inundate these salubrious farm lands, the colored workers on these farms were rushed to these refugee camps and are being held as virtual prisoners in the manner pending the subsistence of the water when they will be carried en masse back to their habitats of involuntary servitude. Reports reaching the Informer from members of our race who have either been marooned in the Mississippi River flood area, or who have been in the strenken district in line with their work, tell of the awful suffering among black residents of that valley; how Negro men are kept in virtual slavery in the refugee camps and tell of the brutal plantation owners and demagogic politicians, the latter being more puppet and manikins in the hands of these white planters. In certain sections of the Mississippi River valley (just as in the Brazos River valley of Texas), Negroes are held in abject peonage, a type of slavery more vicious and dehumanizing than human can conjure or comprehend; and when the raging waters of the Mississippi begin to overflow and inundate these plantation owners, they are rushed to these refugee camps and are being held as virtual prisoners by state militiamen pending the subsidence of the water, when they will be carried on masew back to their habitats of involuntary servitude. Colored refugees have been shot and killed ruthlessly and without provocation by soldiers, and even in one Mississippi town it is reported that the mayor of the burg slew a colored man in cold weather. All able-bodied Negro men, despite the fact that they have employment elsewhere, at the point of fixed bayonets are forced to labor day and night on levees and in refugee camps without one penny in remuneration for such enforced services; and yet martial law has not been declared in any of the communities resorting to such cruel and hellish practices. Even in the midst of pestilence, catastrophes and disasters, the Negro people who seize such occasions as an opportunity to vent their spleen, prejudice and cussed meauness upon helpless and defenseless colored men and women. It is also charged that several good looking colored women have been criminally assaulted at some of the refugee camps by white soldiers, resulting in the death of one white soldier when the husband entered his tent unexpectedly and caught this "noble defender" of "Nordic supremacy" criminally outraging his wife and killing her. The assault is alleged that the husbands of the desired women are put on night shifts, thereby affording these white soldiers the chance to ravage and attack the race women under the cover of darkness. One of our informant also states that no intelligent looking Negro, who has the appearance of being a business or professional man, can gain admittance to some of these refugee camps, and that the only commendable feature connected with these temporary victims is the fact that colored refugees are being given something to eat. Since eighty per cent of the flood victims and sufferers are largely poor, ignorant and defenseless black people; and, since most of the material damage done by the Mississippi's rampage has been wrought in the commonwealth of Mississippi (Lord, help us!); and, since this Southern state's hostile and bitter attitude is the Negro race is so well known, the suffering of colored refugees and victims in that the God-forsaken section is appallingly indescribable. Since eighty per cent of the flood victims and sufferers are largely poor, ignorant and defenseless black people; and, since most of the material damage done by the Mississippi rampage has been wrought in the commonwealth of Mississippi (Lord, help me), the lack of protection towards the Negro race is so well known, the suffering of colored refugees and victims in that the戈士-fordsaken section is appallingly indescribable. Yet the federal government can spend millions of dollars annually for the mocked enforcement of the national liquor statute, and the sister Southern states hold thousands of American citizens in homeland and in refugee refusing to make any settlement with their colored field hands or share-croppers, always contending that these unfortunate and untutured Black Americans are still in debt to them—as if the law permits any man to hold another in enforced bondage because of debt or financial obligation incurred. Southerners is so well known in administering affairs during such periods of distress and suffering, and since the black man always gets the raw end of the deal whenever a devastation has rendered him homeless and helpless, Negroes throughout America—despite the fact that they know members of their race are the greatest sufferers in the flood-land, not responding very liberally to the relief fund, holding to the view that it will do the colored flood sufferers little, if any, good. Because the attitude of some white Southerners is so well known in administering affairs during such periods of distress and suffering, and since the black man always gets the raw end of the deal whenever a devastation has rendered him homeless and helpless, Negroes throughout America—despite the fact that they deal with the greatest sufferers in the flood-streaked areas—are not the fairest to be blinded to often fund, holding to the view that it will do the colored flood sufferers little, if any, good. Ordinarily, when floods or storms play havoc with certain Dixie communities and outside aid is rushed to the stricken district, Negroes are even charged for the food they eat at the refuge camps, and every garment is charged to them and they are forced to wear the conditions have returned to normality; while the whites feast on the food they have chosen, choice, without money and without price, at all wearing apparel and other material contributions. The manner in which colored Americans are being treated in the Mississippi River flood area shows that Christianity has made very little headway in that section, and that it is going to require something more than a mere flood—the most destructive in that category—to bring the white leaders of the delta region to their senses. While the federal government lays plans for rebuilding the levees and making safer the section of the country through which the "Father of Waters" wends his way to the gulf. The Informer is of the opinion that the government ought to also take steps to liberate the countless number of black men, women and children in the human bondage by the landlords and politicians of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and other Dixie states where colored Americans are thus denied their constitutional and inalienable rights. --- MARSHALL HOST TO STATE MEET OF RACE DOCTORS Marshall, Texas — The Lone Star State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association will hold its forty-first annual season here 15, 14 and 16, from June 1 through August.

Much credit is due Prof. I. M. Terrell, superintendent of this hospital, for the part of his physical life, is the most important part of the local white friendliness in the establishment of this humanitarian institution, but all of this labor and effort will come to naught or be negated if our people do not manifest the proper interest in the hospital and, by practice the lesson of self-help, make responsible its successful maintenance and operation. Why not a two-week membership drive, with workers to cover the entire city as is done during Community Chest drives each year, launching some as to end around "June-month?" This could be a fittingly max to almost one year of complete likeness, and would be-the initial step in teaching our race the much-needed and important lesson of self-help; for there is a trite aphorism which teaches that "the Lord helps those who help themselves," and neither God nor man is much willing to help those who will not help themselves! NEGRO VOTES SAVED CHICAGO FROM "CRACKERISM." By William Pickens. (For The Associated Negro Press.) Mayor Thompson was elected by about 80,000 majority. The Negroes were so angry that, therefore, the Negroes could have defeated him, if they had wanted to. But they had too much sense. Listen here: the dirtiest, loudest, and most unpleasant of all elections ever tried in any election were tried in that Chicago election by the Democrats who were trying to re-elect Democrat Ted Cruz. The Democrats solidly held the Thompson of fort, that race mania would have succeeded, and Chicago would have been a mance to interracial peace if it had not formally form by rists in the near future. Let those who blame the colored people of Chicago for voting for Thompson, consider these things, and the Negro is not be blamed or praised: he is working for Dever carried banners reading: "Is this to a nigger's town or a white man's town?"—Do you want a nigger teacher?" There were fifty-one Thompson became mayor (in his former term) and 500 nigger teachers before his term was over."And another poster showed Thompson caressing a little black caricature of a child, a girl, and a boy. Thompson loves his nigger babies!" This ugly and exasperated picture had been made out of a very beautiful man incident: Mayor Thompson was speaking in South Chicago in behalf of the colored people of colored folk. A very prominent colored politician had with him at the meeting an exceedingly beautiful brown child, a relatieve. When Thompson was greeted this colored man, he was the child, as any normal man might do. The methods of the anti-Thompson forces seemed to be calculated to stir up riot. The Negro was more solidly opposed to them for this very reason. The newspapers were opposed to Thompson, and, of course, gave the outside world no such "slant" on the struggle which the Negro was making. The democrats even resorted to such dangerous and right-provoking tricks as the following: They hired cheap Negroes to go into the white sections of North Chicago, where there were no Negro voters or students, and "canvassers" for Thompson's, "to originate the whites with the suggestion that all the Thompsons forces are Negroes and that success for Thompson meant the rule of Negroes. The anti-Thompson forces also sent out printed invitations to many colored men to come to the Sherman House, which does not receive colored guests, an hotel down in the heart of the business district, and "meet Mr. Thompson for conference and dinner," expecting thereby to create a scene and maybe a riot when these colored people presented themselves at this house in the "loop." The Negroes discovered and defeated the rue. The ants did show one good appreciation of humor. Thompson had an earful of the ants' speeches, charging the English with trying to corrupt our histories, and getting the Americans got a black faced "Paul Revere" remarked on a disagregated pig, and had him to ride into the "loop," with a great placard "Crimson Crimson." "I" had displayed more of that sort of a sense of humor and might have divided the Nagrata race.
