LOCAL PYTHIANS ON JOB The Informer is delighted to know that Houston Pythonians are taking a nap on the *job*, but they are already busy getting ready for the grand lodge of the Colored Knights of *Heavenly Houston* during June, 1928. Already the City Auditorium has been secured for the grand lodge week, and the joint body looking after the lodge has been made up of meetings to make plans for the entertainment of this august body next summer. The Pythonian grand lodge is the largest affair of its kind held annually this state, and notably, totally Calvary. Waco and Austin, recent hosts to the grand session—have entertained the "brave" people who are such fine style, "Heavenly Houston"—where our people really "struir their lives" and no play second fiddle in any city of the Lone Star State.

(By HENRY F. ARNOLD For the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—Rumors which have been affloated on the Atlantic seaboard for the past month, that a "Smith for president" organization was beins secretly formed in this section and the middle west by a group of prominent colored men, were substantiated and verified by one of the prime movers of the organization in Washington, Saturday. The gentleman who has been one of the wheel horses among colored Republicans in Ohio for more than a score of years refused to give out anything for publication and asked that his name be withheld from public print until the organization was perfected. My informer let it be known during our conversation that prominent colored men and women in all of the middle western and eastern states were to be called together and a gigantic campaign in the interest of Governor Smith of New York was to be launched. He declared "that the organization would be for Governor Smith and would not give support to Governor Ritchie of Maryland; Donahay of Ohio; Reed of Missouri, nor any other Democrat thus far mentioned for the Democratic nomination in 1928." He said that "Governor Smith would wrest from the Republican nominee the largest colored vote of any man that the Democratic convention could name, and that in the event that Smith received the nomination Negroes would bolt the Republican party by the thunderstorm. When asked where the first meeting of the organization would be held, he declared that New York, Chicago or Washington was likely to be selected by reason of their geographical locations.

DR. GEO. T. COLEMAN, Mar- shall, President Medical Association. DR. O. W. PHILLIPS, Marshall, Chairman Dental Section. Marshall, Texas.—Dr. P. L. Harold, M. D., who served as chairman of the committee on homes and entertainment for the Lone Star State Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical Association held at Marshall, June 14-16 inclusive, says that the forty-first annual meeting just closed, according to the public and private statements of the delegates themselves, was the best in the history of the association in attendance, methods of business procedure, entertainment (including accommodations and social features), group meetings, public discussions, clinics—there were twelve major and an equal number of minor operations, all successful—more than could be recorded in the medical clinics, and a general good spirit of camaraderie. The local association as a unit gives unqualified praise to the people of Marshall for the wholehearted cooperation manifested in helping to take care of the state meeting. In fact, it was this oneness of spirit exhibited within the local organization as well as by the entire citizenship—colored and white—that made this HOUSTON WON MANY HONORS IN MUSIC MEET Special to The Informer. Pt. Worth, Texas.—“Heavenly Houston” was showered with honors and awards at the recent meeting of the Texas Ass'n of Negro Musicians in Fort Worth. The convention, representative of the best music talent in the state, surpassed all expectations in interest and attendance. Music teachers and students from the various colleges mingled with the private music teachers, parents and leaders in an effort to raise the standard of music teaching in our “grand old state.” Houstonians were very prominent among these musical lights. Percy and Russel McDavid, talented sons of Dr. and Mrs. McDavid, winners, piano and violin, came in for their awards, $50 scholarships; Emerson Scott, tenor, formerly of Prairie View College but now residing in Houston, was the third winner of the $50 scholarship. These three appeared on the program of the massed choir concert and, amid prolonged applause, were forced to give several encores. Coleridge-Taylor Club Award The Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club was awarded the prize for the best club record which stands to date as the national reputation; gave 20 or more concerta; all members are members of the national flood sufferers and $500 for new Houston Negro Hospital; regular in New York is offered by Chas. Harrison, the only legal and a charitable officer in the department and a member of the department of Tennessee. It is an illuminated concert podium of educational "Honor Award" A, N, M. *T* to be at PETER M. BURGESS the premier session. From the note of welcome delivered by Secretary Blacklock of the Chamber of Commerce until Dr. P. L. Hunter, secretary of the local association said adieu to Dr. S. J. Thompson, fraternal delegate from Oklahoma, one week after adjournment, the atmosphere was charged with the convention spirit. The state association is said to have considered the invitation to come to Marshall a whole year before accepting it, doubting both the disposition and ability of the little East Texas city to adequately care for such heavy delegation (the Texas association is the largest in the United States); but Marshall dispelled every doubt and so impressed itself upon the visiting body that some one suggested making Marshall the permanent meeting place because of its splendid hospitality, its hospital and other facilities for carrying on the work of the association. In the discussion of hospital facilities by the association, J. R. Sheppard, M. D., founder and builder of the Sheppard sanitarium here at Marshall, was highly commended for his efforts in what is ad- (Continued on Page Four) LOCKE SPEAKS AT TUSKEGEE ON RACE PRIDE LOCKE SPEAKS AT TUSKEGEE ON RACE PRIDE Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Race pride and loyalty in Negro students can be generated more effectively by intelligent and appreciative study of the literature, history, and folkways of the people than by hortatory efforts in this direction, accordiv to Dr. Alain Locke, former Rhodes scholar and Professor of the New Negro's, who, Wednesday and Thursday delivered a series of lectures to the teacher-students of the Tuskegee Institute summer school. “The teaching of Negro literature and history should aim to stimulate the student to a sympathetic and proper understanding of the background in terms of which he must be able to understand the history and the means by which the student will learn to appreciate the spiritual values of his people,” Dr. Locke stated. In looking to the future and breaking with the past, Dr. Locke warned against despising the past or being shackled by it. Our condition has not been so black as it has frequently been. The new literature, and group history are the means by which the student will learn to appreciate the spiritual values of his people." Dr. Locke stated.

The new literature is doing so in an younger Negro poets are doing in an increasing measure. Dr. Locke noted a growing tendency on the part of the school systems to give regular academic credit for work done in Negro history and literature courses. The new literature is being developed by W. T. B. Williams, field agent of the Jeanes and Slater Fund board, who called attention to the need of higher scholarship standards and more regular attendance in schools. G. L. Imes of the principal's office staff gave readings from "God's Tromboner," a new volume of poem-sermons by James Weldon Johnson, at the Monday meeting. J. T. B. Imes, headmaster, said, "The new literature is addressed, the new study, the new teaching, the new course." Government Witness Shamefully Treated By Southern Officers Former Black Georgian, Who Charged Peonage Practiced On King's Farm In Cracker State, Intimidated—Alleges U.S.Marshal and Peace Officers Threatened His Life If He Did Not Retract Former Affidavit—Returns To Virginia After Mock Trial. Danville, Va.—How he was separated from the U. S. deputy marshal who carried him to Georgia and how he was forced to retract his former charges by officers of the law, were related in an affidavit made here Thursday by James Felton, who charged that pennance was being practiced on Dr. W. R. King's farm in Georgia and was carried back to the state, June 5, as a witness for the government against Dr. King. In a previous affidavit Felton declared that he had seen five men killed on Dr. King's Georgia farm and had helped to burn them. Upon his arrival in Georgia he was taken from U. S. Deputy O. S. Mayberry by Georgia officers who sought to intimidate him at all times and never missed an opportunity to hurle epiphates at him and threaten to "blow his brains out." According to Felton's affidavit to on the following morning, which he swore Thursday, he was taken back to the King farm by Georgia officers and carried to the spot where he had seen the five bodies buried. "Fresh dirt around the place," declared Felton, "remembered. Remembering the ad-dingish had been done, and a wagon track showed that a wagon of some kind had been brought near the spot. He had digged it down, and a wagon track showed that he had seen anything happen in the grave and the marshall took his foot, pushed aside a little dirt, then he said, 'Now look here, you've got to come clean about this thing right now—did you ever see or hear of any enemy?' That Felton is out of the land of the enemy he has repeated the charges made against Dr. King, and while he realizes that his testimony is not true, he will render him helpless to do anything, help him in the hands of two armed men where probably no one would be able to body at any time?' Being alone, and absolutely helpless in the hands of the enemy, he is hoping that in the body at any time he will be able to bring, to trial, and justice will be meted out to him. Anyway, Felton said, 'Now all my more G-—d lies a witness for it.'

This lesson shows us the transition from the rule by the judges to the monarchy. For a reason, the judges will be well to be a survey of chapters eight to eleven. The People Demand a King (8-14) 1. Their reasons for this demand. 1. Samuel was incapacitated by the army of the monarchy whom he had appointed as his successors. In this Samuel committed a great blunder, for the office of king to be taken over to be like other nations. The surrounding nations had a king as their leader. They wanted a king who would be the king of the world. 2. Samuel's behavior under this trial (vv. 60). He took the matter to the Lord in prayer. Even though Samuel trouble be did the wise thing in taking to the Lord in prayer. The Lord this rejection was not merely his rejection, but the rejection of the king ship of God. 3. Tells of the Manner of the King (vv. 10-14). He shows them that the king will be very exacting and arbitrary in his 1. He will take their sons and muse them to serve in the army and do all kinds of hard work on his form and in his house. He will make slaves of their daughters also. 2. He will take their lands, even those inherited from their fathers, and give them to his favorite officers and serv�ans. Not content with that he will take the tenth part of the produce that remains and give to them Hi. Samuel's Protest Disregarded by the People (vv. 10-22). Having made up their minds they deliberately shut their eyes to the truth and rushed madly into the ex periment. IV. The King Providentially Pointed Out (9:11-10:16). Saul was sent by his father to search for the asses that had wandered away. This was quite natural. While Saul and his father were acting freely in this matter, at the same time God's sovereign purpose was being carried out. Although difficult to un derstand. God carries forth His soy cro� and purpose without interfering with man's freedom. V. The King. Chosen at Mizph The Lord had already pointed out to Samuel who should be king and Saint had been shouted. Let us observe: 1. Why Saul was chosen. If they would have a king the Lord would give them the one best suited to fill the place. He was from Benjamin, a small tribe, which would prevent undue rivalry between Ephraim and Judah, the leading tribes of Israel. He was also chosen because of his personal fitness (v. 23). 2. How Saul was chosen. The method was by lot. Samuel called them together before the Lord, and before the lot was cast he was not re-monstrated with them against such action. He showed them the face in a sentence of their rejection of such a long and king who had made he such for them, and gave them a chance to forgo their rash demand. 3. How the king was received to the Lord? The Lord knew that the Lord was called him, but through modesty and serenity, when he was lought for the Squire, I wanted him to live people. Then then that Saul was the Lord. He called the Lord to the Lord's choice. VI. The King Confirmed at Gigs (v. 37) Sons after the election at Mishna Sons of Mishna made a descentate from it. It hastily summoned the sons together for war and sacrifice and all the people who suffered the sons of Bohdil but Sons of Mishna together for the aspicious situation and called the people together at Gilgal when The Life involved the life that is to be learned to think more intently and to change the scope and more identify today the security—Charles Hall Moving Forward involved the life that is to be learned to think more intently and to change the scope and more identify today the security—Charles Hall J.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927 BLACKS HONOR LINDBERGH AT CAPITAL CITY (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was the special guest at the vesper flag service held on the west front of the United States capitol on Sunday afternoon. The entire musical program was furnished by a chorus of one thousand colored persons from the various church choirs and a large chorus of public school children. The members of the church choirs wore their vestments and the public school children displayed patriotic colors. The United States Marine Band, under the leadership of Captain Taylor Branson, rendered several selections, while the great combined chorus choir, under the direction of Miss Virginia Williams, rendered "God to Our Fathers," "Day is Dying in the West," "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past," and aside from singing several patriotic melodies in which the entire audience oined, rendered the old Negro spiritual, "Steal Away" and "Oh, Hear the Lambs A'Cryin'" by R.

MISS BELZORA A. MALVIN, Ass't See'y-Treas. JOHN D. EPPS, Vice-Pres. CARTER W. WESLEY, Auditor (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga.—At a special meeting held Wednesday, the board of trustees of Spelman College regrettably accepted the resignation of Miss Lacy Hale Tapey as president, and unanimously elected her president emeritus. Miss Tapey has been president of Spelman since 1910 and had been a member of the faculty for thirty-seven years. After this long period of service, Miss Tapey felt that she was no longer in the administration, a decision which was strengthened by her failing health. Her resignation has been in the hands of the trustees for more than two years. She has also consented to continue as president through the present academic It is impossible to speak too highly of the service which Miss Tapley has rendered since her connection with the institution, which under her leadership has become America's greatest school for colored girls. When she came to Atlanta, Spelman was a primary school which had been founded and wisely guided by Miss Sophia B. Packard and Miss Harriet E. Giles. By gradual stages the work was extended to include high school and teacher training and finally courses of college grade. The institution now has an excellent plant consisting of 16 buildings and 20 acres in the city of Atlanta. Miss Tapley is a woman of strong personality and high ideals and has been deeply interested in all that pertains to the welfare of Negro girls. Her influence will be felt for years to come in the schools and homes where Spelman girls have gone. At the same meeting the trustee unanimously elected Miss Florence M. Reed, president to succeed Miss Tapley. Miss Reed comes to Atlanta from New York where she has been executive secretary of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, a board which has been active for many years in the southern states and in countries throughout the world. Miss Reed's work with the board received special recognition from the University of New York State and prepared for college at the University of New York. She entered Mount Holyoke College in the fall of 1965 and graduated in 1969 with a G. B. For excellence in college teaching she met members in Phi Beta Kappa years after graduation she served as alumnae secretary of Mount Holyoke College and served as secretary of Reed College, a college of liberal arts and sciences in Borton, FISHER FAILED TO REAPPOINT RACE MEMBER (BY The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa.—The uncertainty of politics was demonstrated last week when Governor John S.

However, as Mr. Attwell had been involved in several very important committees were injuries received in an automobile accident he had no knowledge of. AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER The Risks Involved In Success To learn to walk a baby has to run the risk of falling. We accept the risk of drowning in order to learn to swim. Every time we take a trip in our car we run the risk of being killed on account of defects in our car or by carelessness of any chance driver we meet; but we discount the risks in favor of the advantages. Lindbergh stood on a mountain of wrecked hopes of those who had given their lives during the growth of aviation. As he looked toward the shores of France he saw the sea-washed bones of those who had essayed the flight he would make. These failures did not deter him—they served as beacon lights to chart the way. Fully aware of the danger, he flew out into the dim unknown. His was the greatest risk of our generation and the acclamation of his success has been the greatest. Fear of failure has stifled the success of many potential heroes. But it is unquestionably true that he who risks nothing gains nothing. Negroes have had their share of failures in their attempts to build enterprises. They have served as dupes and been used to fatten frogs for snakes. But failures and disappointments are not blind walls—they are light houses marking the rocks and shoals that must be avoided on the next voyage. The chart thus made out must be studied and another venture must be made. The great National banking system of America was pyramided on the heap of failures and errors of earlier banks. Success means another venture, another risk! Columbus had not only knowledge of ships that had sailed out and never returned—presumed to have sailed off a flat earth; but he had the opposition of the clergy, the nobility, and scientists—joined in affirming that the earth was flat. But trusting the decision of his inner life, he ventured forth with his motley crew. Brave Adm'm'r'l, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leapt like a leaping sword: "Sail on! Sail on! Sail on! Sail on! Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck, And peered through darkness. Ah, that night Of all dark nights!

The public is invited to take part in the congress and a pamphlet explaining the purposes of the conference has been issued. The meeting points set forth are the following: "Pan-African" means "all African." A Pan-African Congress is a meeting of people of Negro descent belonging to different groups and citizens of different countries, for the purpose of further and greater standing, as well as for the exposition and comparison of the many problems of race and social uplift. The question of the status of the Negro in modern society is no longer a question of States, or a parochial problem of Jamestown, but rather a group of white problems to be viewed and considered as a whole, and the Congress particularly interested in black and white races in various countries to the end that greater harmony is achieved. The Pan-African Congress has no political affiliation in any community, and it has no opinion, and it has no connection, expressed or implied, with other organizations. The Pan-African Congress is being held in the western hemisphere this time because it has held three conferences in Europe. An attempt was made to place it in West Indies but it seems that other countries have not sufficient money, energy-enthusiasm or political liberty to accrue from the present time. In fact, the last two Pan-African congresses have been taken up upon American initiative and money. In addition to all groups of Negroes of African descent throughout the world, Pan-African congresses in the cities of the United States will be asked to send representatives to the director, Underwriters Mutual Insurance Company, Chicago, Illinois; stockholder of Bhugata State Bank; stockholder in Chicago Trust and Bills; $350,000,000; stockholder in Industrial State Bank of Illinois; Transit Lines member National Medical Association, American Medical Association, Illinois State Medical Society and Interstate Post-Graduate Assn. of North America, and is now a member of the Illinois State Medical ocean. Dr. Williams is more than 60 years deep in the six figure financial class. ON EASTERN TRIP (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Annie M.

THE MENIEST MAN IN THE WORLD WATCH HIM- PICKENS FLAYS SEGREGATION AT RECENT MEET 15 (By The Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind.—William Pickens, publicist, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the Negro Press, has been making addresses for a decade here in America that have attracted the serious attention of both white and colored people. His logic, his character, his shoulder style have won for him a thoughtful following who have learned to expect when he attacks a problem, a flood light of information on the Negro community. But when last Monday night at the N. A. A. C. P. meeting, he spoke on "Racial Segregation in America" that vast audience and the racial leaders of the Negro community, sitting tense, realized not only the efforts of his career, but also dissected one of the great evils which confronts the Negro and thereby had "Racial segregation," and Pickens, is synonymous with race problem; where there is no problem, where there is less segregation, where there is less problem; where there is more problem, where there is more problem. The amount and the meanness of the problem varies with the size of the group of segregation. Everywhere in the world, there is some segregation; therefore e Trousers to Match 500 AND UP and be measured for one of our Tailored- of Blues, Grays, Tans, Serges, etc. 500 AND UP Tailoring Co.

Zion churches have been proposing union for more than a generation. I remember back in the eighties when a joint commission of the two bodies was appointed to devise plans of amalgamation. These deliberations resulted in no practical action. Each branch of the church of God has gone on in its separate way. Several years ago, the two branches of white Methodists attempted to venuite their forces and to proceed as one body, the same as they did in the good old ante-bellum days before the unChristian institution of human slavery split the parent body in twain. But the Negro contingent of the Methodists was not the mind of both the Northern and the Southern Methodists to set the colored brother apart as a constituent element of the consolidation of all Negro Methodists into one great Negro body, while the whites would combine readily when free from the embarrassing black brother. This would indeed be an ideal adjustment, as far as race prejudice admits of an ideal condition. According to the basic principles of Christianity, there should be no line of demarcation on account of race or blood. All bodies of Christians who believe alike should form the communion. But the Negro is the one who has been the master of the minds and who has one controlled. His insistence upon the brotherhood of man more hardens the white Christian into his determination to frustrate its practical fulfillment. We must perforce to deal with the practical until the ideal is feasible. Christian brotherhood will best be promoted by the Negro members insisting on their self-respect, even though they must function apart from their white brother of the same household of faith rather than by eternal subordination with the vain hope that the desired brotherhood will be recognized in the sweet by and by. The Negro cannot defer his independent subordination with the Christian makes up his mind to live up to the requirements of his crew. If the four bodies of Negro Methodists could amalgamate into one with the whites themselves combining, it would, in my judgment, lead more certainly to the ultimate union of all Methodists, than by part of them remaining in left-handed relationship with their white co-religionists. In every case, the whole of the whole of the whole of them, as with himself before he is likely to become one with the American people. Before he becomes desirable for co-partnership, he must have something that the white man wants as well as to want something that the white man has. The union of the two independent branches of the Methodist church is immediately feasible. They are both the product of protest. The prejudice of race drove them both from the white communion where they were consigned to the back pews and upper galleries. Racial self-respect actuated the two organizations alike. There is no doctrinal difference or barrier of theological tenets. They are not separated by lines of geographical division as are the white Methodists by a line of latitude into North and South. They are the two national traditional unrest. In the Congressional, the Scotch-Irish Prebyterians, the German Protestant and Lutheran, the foreign-born of Celtic or Latin blood is a Catholic for reason which have deep roots in history and tradition. But the divisive principle of the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches is measured by the addition of a "2" which may as well stand for a zero. Any organization which has been in operation for a long while will develop its own internal political machinery. Church politics are known to be the same way that the two groups are not the same way that the two groups would come together in a day, if it were not for the offices. The question of who shall sit on the right and on the left in the kingdom of heaven and the power of the Church and the earth of the Church, which are not the same way that the two groups are in the great stumbling block. There would be fewer bishops and general offices, a condition which the younger aspiring church policies complete when we are not as likely to be as far as the different as all. 420 MILAM STREET We hear much nowadays about the consolidation of rural and city churches among white religionists. The need among the Negroes is still more likely to be the general trend for the present. The need among the negroes is still less three or four sickly little Methodist churches, which if amalgamated would make a vigorous organization. Three or four ministers live in the most various existence on divided substance scarcely sufficient for one. All of the first of the first is the possible combination, against which there is only one objection—church politics. The union of the two churches now under proposal would form a body with powerful influence in the general equation of racial good. Here we should have a more effective method of the study. The opportunity for usefulness and power both as a religious and social agency would be appealing to the ambitious young men who are now turning away from the great religious estates which their fathers and grand-parents are now in the great social life. For some time to come the general life of the race will be powerfully influenced, if not controlled by the church. Politicians know the power of organization. The A. M. and the E. L. in church have a very different situation from the other organization in the line. Although the Baptists outnumber them three to one yet they impress much less influence on the political and general equation. This is because they are less well-known, but not so much as they are less well-known, but they would that of the man. Herein consist the great advantage of the Methodist policy in all social ways. It becomes, therefore, a matter of race-wide importance that this religious order should become as efficient as possible. The strength should be united, instead of divided and dissist. SOUTHERN LINES PACIFIC Let us hope that the commission which has this matter under consideration may bring the long desired union to happy fruition. This will be but one of the many things that will be accomplished, well-organized church militant. The militancy will not be wholly religious, against the forces of satan and sin, but militant for all of the just and righteous demands of the church, of right, ought to direct the people in the way they should go. The charge that the church meddles with politics is not a serious one. The good of the people at times demands that the preacher be careful when politics gets into the preacher, his spiritual mislead is at an end. A FAT WINTER—WHEN WE A PORTERHOUSE SHOOTERED AND FOR THE LITTLE GUN A GLASS OF BUTTERMilk VERY GOOD SAY! THAT GUY GOT SOME NEVER NO DONOT CAN BEHIGH— United States there is some race problem. The difficulty of the problem, like the amount of segregation, varies from the hypocritical pretenses at "equality" in Boston, to the family derailing and insulting spirit and arrangements in New Orleans. “We are speaking here of social segregation, wherein the sole criterion of the differentiation is race or color. There are, of course, other forms and other bases of segregation in human society: as of the diseased into hospitals and pest houses; of criminals into jails and other prisons; of children into institutions that be fit their ages. Whenever one form or degree of segregation is established, it always calls for another. It is a monster that grows by that it feeds on, and whose appetite is not appeared but magnified by what is thrust into its mouth and maw. Consider the schools' segregation in the kindergarten stimulates them to be the first of the first system when it is established in the grades, there is sure to be a call for segregation in the high schools; then the atmosphere around the universities becomes less tolerant toward any group which has already been cast out by the age of the head system. Often, of course, people who are not fit to sit with you in college, are certainly the moving picture shows, or on mainly not good enough to sit with you the street cars, or on the park benches. Segregation in the churches must logically anticipate segregation in the high schools. Orations have segregated grave yards—for segregation alive calls for segregation dead. So easy are the steps toward hell.” PORO CLUB'S ANNUAL SERMON The Poro Club of Houston held its first annual service at Boyton Chapel, where 60 agents in attendance. W. M.

"I am not yet ready to believe that the majority of my fellowmen, that is, my white fellowmen, have had their sense of justice eaten away by the oppression of the Judge Jayne. I believe that in the hearts and minds of a multitude of your white fellow citizens similarly situated, alike in everything but color, there is an abiding sense of may which may be successfully around.

Alexander, of Atlanta, Georgia, director of the Commission on International Relations, last week addressed the National Association of Teachers and the People of Creeks People in its 18th annual conference here. "The new leaders of industry in the South are hardly conscious of the race question at all," said Dr. Alexander. "To them it is a labor question and an industrial question. They are not making the problem an issue in making money. With them the hot spot in their thinking is neither the race problem, politics, or fundamentalism; it is business, and the problem of making a race problem except as it might affect industry. They are willing to listen with minds open and go at least as far as the best interests of industry." "The coming of industry and the new economic background is slowly working a change in the political philosophy of the South. Thousands of students are nationally, and are yielding to the arguments that make the business section of this country favorable to the Republican party. They no longer respond to the old slogans in local politics, but ultimately this indifference must give way to an intelligent interest in the job market to be good business policy. This means a profound change in the politics of the South. College Studying Race Relations "The most obvious change which in taking place in the South with interest in the job market is the interest of many college teachers, college students and thoughtful students. There was much talk but little study. In nearly 100 college courses of the South, there are an exhaustive problem are now in the regular curriculum. Thousands of students are interested in these themes and an exhaustive set of these papers from all parts of the South, that they are thoughtful, home, and interested."

The nation must and now may to do that. The fight is disconcerting. Alken was a slipping back on the part of South Carolina. The guillotine states are now Mississippi and Florida where there is no effective opposition to mob violence and Alanus where there is very little. These states are the most nonnomic and industrial development. They have particularly large populations of the poor white type. They have many isolated communities. Lynchming must be looked upon by the whole nation as no horrible that these shall be forced to not an end to it. "In closing may I say that I am not especially interested in Negroes in Nigrogrant America, but I am much larger than this is involved in this situation. It is in a question of civilization. Can mankind be benefited by the situations that they confront by civilized methods and with a civilized culture? The experiment of the human race in civilization is very intermingling and the culture is a continuous and dynamic movement which gave birth to this nation is an important aspect of the culture. The million American Negroes and their future are a test as to the outcome of this experiment in democracy and society." "What chance has democracy? On every hand I am reminded by cynics and dogmatic industrialists that the whole idea of democracy is a failure to be distrusted. Aiken, Mississippi, Arkansas and Florida incline one to think so. But looking back over the past sixty years one sees that there have undoubtedly been some steps forward. In spite of handicaps Negroes have made great progress. My presence here tonight is evidence that at least one white man has made progress and I represent a type that is the only significant thing about my presence." "At the University of North Carolina last spring the distinguished executive secretary of this organization made a very moving statement, speaking to a great audience of students and faculty in the chapel of the institution," Negroes want full participation in American life and they expect to secure it. "That last clause has great power in it. If they continue in this intelligent expectation it will probably come, step by step even in the South—certainly in the South if anywhere in the Nation, for the South will go with the Nation."

In March they tried to lynch colored men in the house, because two white high school girls said that three Negroes had broken in and ran them. But in June, after a little ominous detective work, they find out, to their great charm, that the men were by prearrangement with one of the other girls, who wanted to rape two, two other girls, so that the other two men could rape them. Of course, the men were to get on honest-to-goodness raping. Fortunately, the mother of the girl who gave her daughter go "spend the night" with Julia Money—and the upbraid her daughter go "spend the night" with Julia Money—and the upbraid her daughter go "spend the night" with the three men.

This paper is the vox populi (the voice of the people) which has often been termed as the voice of God! With the divinely inspired poet we can truthfully peal forth our notes of song; lodge of this colored fraternity, we hope that all local committee heads and members will be chosen for their peculiar fitness and ability to put over the job, and not because of their official connections with local lodges and courts, or the fact that they have resided in Houston a long time. We must bear in mind that long residence nor longevity of life in dicate that the veteran resident is the most capable person to direct a movement, or to lead it to success. Let's have no hankering and pulling for positions of honor merely to pose in the spotlight, but let's all roll up our sleeves and work together as one team for the success of the grand lodge; bearing in mind that everybody can not be a leader—there must be necessity be some followers. In this respect we have a suggest to local Pythian leaders that they might secure West End park for the encampment, since the Houston Baseball Association plans to erect a baseball plant in another section of the city. The present park is right in the colored district, within easy reach of the downtown area and is properly enclosed—for such military encampment. It also has other modern conveniences so necessary for such gatherings. The Informer will be glad to render whatever service it can, in any capacity, to help make the 1928 Pythian grand lodge a howling success. One of the leading newspaper representatives of America states that the newspaper has given too much to cutting their advertisement and then租地 to this agency and then rented to a lower rate driver to direct national advertisement. The Informer is unalterably opposed to such practices and we take this opportunity to present contemporaries that such juggling will ultimately work to the decrement of every race publication of national advertisement.

All matter intended for insertion in any current issue of the Houston Informer must reach our office by Wednesday noon of the week publication HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927 Has Houston Commission Changed Fronts? When the Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation was originally launched in this city some few years ago, if our recollection serves us correctly, the joint body (both white and colored divisions) entered into an agreement and understanding that no person connected with a newspaper in any capacity would be accorded membership on the local commission. At the time this action was taken by the local commission, there were many colored citizens who held to the opinion that this newspaper-exclusion edict was promulgated merely to keep off the local commission a certain so-called "radical" Negro editor, who had then and still has the courage of his convictions and the moral courage to editorially express these convictions and observations. After the commission began to function and a vacancy occurred in the white division, some of the white members suggested a well-known local white editor for the vacant membership. Whereupon the late Dr. W. H. Logan, one of the manly and courageous black members, arose and objected to the white editor becoming a member of the Houston commission, citing the commissioners' attention to their original ruling and attitude excluding all newspapermen from the membership roll of the local interracial organization. Time brings about some wonderful and marvelous changes—even in sentiment, attitude and action; and, where the local commission was objecting rather strenuously to newspaper publishers, editors and reporters as members of the local body just a year or two ago, today the same local commission not only has on its membership roll certain publishers, editors and writers of ebony hair, but current rumor has it that the first money secured or "subscribed" for Houston's latest journalistic venture, was donated, "subscribed" or "loaned" the race newspaper promoters by two or three white members of the Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation! Notwithstanding the fact that The Informer never saw either the wisdom or propriety of excluding both colored and white newspapermen from the membership roll of the local commission, if the rule has been invoked and employed as it related to other local white and colored newspaper publishers, editors and writers of ebony hair, state, disregard and nullify this exclusion edict at this late date? HAS THE LOCAL COMMISSION CHANGED FRONTS IN THIS PARTICULAR MATTER, OR DOES THE LOCAL BODY KNOW that THIS SITUATION REALLY EXISTS HERE? If the work of the Houston commission was jeopardized and imperiled just a year or two ago by the inclusion in its ranks of white and colored newspaperpermier, and if news editors and writers were personae non gratae then, when it came to membership in the local interracial organization, why are newspaper publishers and writers so necessary now that certain local white members of the Houston body (according to current rumor), feel duty bound to finance both these Negro publishers, news writers and their subsidized sheet? The Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation is a public movement and depends upon and receives its financial and moral support from public and quasi-public sources! The body is not a private organization, nor is it supposed to make and maintain sinecure positions and jobs for any members of the commission. INSTEAD OF DOING THE WORK FOR WHICH IT WAS PRIMARLY ORGANIZED AND PROJECTED, CERTAIN LOCAL COMMISSIONERS, PRESUMably, ENCOURAGE AID AND ASSIST IN LAUNCHING PRIVATE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AMONG CERTAIN "PATHTFUL" BLACK MEMBERS—LARGELY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE COMMISSION TO FUNCTION AND ENJOY SOME DEGREE OF PUBLIC APPROVAL AND SUPPORT. If the local commission is aware of this fact and wants to be fair, honest and consistent, it will either reiterate its original position concerning the exclusion of newspapermen from its membership roll; or it will demand the immediate resignation of all members, colored and white, who are in any wise connected or identified with any newspaper or publication; or the local commission must admit, either publicly or silently, its inconsistency, inincorrency and hypocrisy and then die the premature death that ultimately ultimately it or any similar organization which endeavors to inject "politics" and "commercialism" into its activities, and which (body) masquerades under false colors. The commission should have abrogated perceptibly and violated summarily the former ruling and decision to exclude all newspapermen from its membership roll, but current rumor has it that certain members of the America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper tain black commissioners-newspublishers and writers, who have been employing the office of the Negro division of the local commission for the launching and operation of their private business enterprise. DO ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMISSION KNOW THAT CERTAIN HOUSTON COMMISSIONERS HAVE PERMITTED THESE COLORED MEMBERS TO OPERATE A COMMERCIAL UNDERTAKING IN THE OFFICE, THE RENT AND PARTIAL OPERATING EXPENSES OF WHICH ARE MET BY AN ALLOWANCE FROM THE HOUSTON COMMISSIONY CHEST—A FUND MADE POSSIBLE BY THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF PUBLIC-SPIRITED CITIZENS, ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS? The Informer is curious to ascertain the reaction of the local chest directors, workers and subscribers, when they are apprised of the fact that part of their donation to this laudable cause (Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation) is being utilized to employ a colored worker for full-time in behalf of the local commission—if upon investigation they find that this same paid, full-time Negro worker (still in the employ of the local commission and drawing a monthly stipend for full-time service in this worthy cause) is using both his position and office to embark in another field of human endeavor—all at the expense and partial support of the agencies and citizens making possible this fund. WILL THE REMAINING NEGRO MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMISSION BE POSSESSED OF SUFFICIENT GRIT, BACKBONE, STAMINA, MANHOOD AND MORAL COURAGE TO RESENT AND PROTEST SUCH POLITICAL AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES—AT THE EXPENSE AND EXPLOTATION OF THE LOCAL COMMISSION—BY ANY LOCAL COMMISSIONERS? THE DENOMINATIONAL ISSUE HAVING BEEN RAISED WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE NEGRO DIVISION BY CERTAIN DENOMINATIONAL POLITICIANS, WHAT WILL THE MEMBERS OF THE OTHER DENOMINATIONS DO ABOUT THE MATTER? What attitude will the other manly members, without regard to denominational affiliation, take, who are opposed to "politics", particularly of the church species, being injected into any such public movement? We must support and unstint co-operation having made it possible for certain Negro members of the commission to land certain positions of preferment, emolument and compensation, we wonder how the other Negro members feel now? ISN'T RIT RATHER HUMILIATING AND EMBARRASSING TO BE LEFT "HOLDING THE BAG", OR TO HAVE YOUR HANDS EMPLOYED TO PULL THE CHESTNUTS OUT OF THE FIRE FOR DESIGNING POLITICIANS AND POINT-OF-VANTAGE SEEKERS? The Informer has repeatedly sounded a warning that the local commission would sooner or later be exploited by certain Negroes of the would-be leader type, and whenever such editorial observation or criticism was made, the cry went forth that this paper When The Informer propounded a series of questions some few months ago to and about the local commission, the usual stereotyped howl was emitted about "fighting the commission" (the smoke-screen of designers, schermers and politicians) but not about the commission itself, that certain members of the Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation are its own worst enemies, and that they seem to be fighting and destroying the organization themselves—and that pretty merrily and successfully! The Informer is delighted to know that the local commission has compelled it to all the work assigned it—and that its leading members (including the full-time, paid Negro worker) have plenty funds and time to embark in purely racial ventures; yet all of this seems passing strange and queer in view of the fact that the Negro division has been trying to raise funds for the Negro community for a breach has already been precipitated in the Negro division of the local commission due to political caucuses and machinations by a political coterie and clique, and the injection of denominational and other issues destined and calculated to disrupt and destroy any such organization. On with the dance and let's see who will finally compensate and remunerate the fiddlers! Selah! Producing Real. Not "Reel" Newspaper Last week's issue of The Houston Informer was produced in its entirety in our new, modern printing plant, and already the favorable comments have been profuse and many concerning the excellent appearance of the paper. In fact, the two preceding issues were set and made up in our plant, but were printed and folded in a local commercial printing shop. Our last issue was set, made up, run and folded in our plant—raised upon occasional occasion in the history of The Houston Informer and Southern Negro journalism.

Mentges combination newspaper-book folder, two large imposing stones, Miller bench saw, new model Sheridan power paper cutter, several fonts of headline and advertising type, leads, etc., with three job presses (one with Miller automatic feeder attached), job type and other equipment already on hand as a result of the Webster Printing Company Houston Informer consolidation—our printing plant is the most modern and thoroughly equipped of any owned and operated by Negroes in Texas, or the entire Southwest. Already we are affording regular employment to eleven (11) members of our race, and our newly keyboard has assumed very neat proportions; yet we still have room for two more employees, an expert cylinder pressman and an efficient lintype operator-machinist. Recognizing honesty as the primary prerequisite to success in any project or undertaking, no person holding a responsible position with The Informer, or the corporation owning and printing this paper, has ever been discharged or "fired" for failure to pay his honest obligations, or for not knowing how to differentiate between mine and thine in financial matters!

G.; William Pickens, New York City, field secretary of the National Association for the Treatment of Colored People and contributing editor of the Association. OPINIONS Washington, D. C.

When, at the last grand lodge, it happens that you would be in the race against Houston for the meeting of the next grand lodge, you meet "Houston in down there Galveston," is it not "My reply was, going to vote for Houston, for we are going to vote for Houston, for we possibly are also" How that?
