ANOTHER HOUSTON TEMPLE!
That "Heavenly Houson" affords the Negro group a wonderful opportunity for investment, and work out its commercial and economic adaptation has again been evidenced by the completion of the supreme home of the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, a colored fraternity, whose imposing structure has West Philas and Bangstreet, Fourth Ward, will be formally dedicated Monday, July 4, at 4 p. m.; the conventine exercises being held at 3 p. m. same day.
The cornerstone will be laid by Magnolia Lodge No. 3, Free and Accepted Monastery, Frank Stacks, wortel manor; with music by the celebrated choir of Bethel Baptist Church, Madame Laura Allen-Green.
We wish to congratulate the order and its leaders for their accomplishments, such concrete and tangible evidences of the Negro's capacity and ability to cultivate and inspire to unborn generations; and that even the race's most hostile and bitter opponents are not race is not such a "bad egg" after all, the Negro is not the same, and the Negro orders of Texas are pointing the way to race fraternities throughout the nation along congratulating proving that not only is Texas a big state, but that the citizens of the Lone Star commonwealth, both colored and uncolored, are proud.
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. In this column, we ask before in this column what the audience made of the fruit that Houston lained the 1928 grand

Negroes Organizing Democratic Medium To Support New Yorker
Organization Being Promoted To Boost Empire State Governor for Presidency—Former Race Republican Active in Smith Pre-Convention Campaign—Meeting Planned for Either New York, Chicago or Washington.
(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.

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.'

Remembering the information he had provided that he had seen anything happen on Dr. King's farm and declared that he had told the story up in Virginia to keep from being arrested on vagrancy. That Felton is on the land of the enemy he has repeated the charges made against Dr. King, and while he realizes that his testimony before the Georgia court will be brought him helpless to do anything to clear up the case and punish the Georgian, he is hoping that in the future he will be brought, to trial, and justice will be meted out to him. Anyway, Felton is back in Virginia and never wants to go to Georgia again.

HUMAN LEADERSHIP
The period of Judges ended with
Samuel's administration. This lesson

reason, the judges will be well to be

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

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
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.

Philadelphia, Pa.—The uncertainty of politics was demonstrated last week when Governor John S. Fisher, the state senator, and the board of trustees of the Eastern state penitentiary, which he established, is generally known of Mr. Gallagher that he is fighting the organization for some organization. It was generally believed that Ernest T. Allwell, the only colored memoir, the board of trustees, originally written by, would be reappointed. Pinchot, would be reappointed. He was involved in several very important committees. However, as Mr. Attwell had been involved in several very important committees were injuries received in an automobile accident he had no knowledge of.

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! And then a speck—
A light! A light! A light! A light!
It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.
He gained a world; he gave that world
Its grandest lesson: "On! Sail on!"

PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS IN NEW YORK CITY
(By The Associated Negro Press)
New York City.—The fourth Pan-African Congress is to meet next August 21, 22, 23 and 24, announcement was made this week by the Circle for Peace and Foreign Relations of New York City, which with the support of the Pan-African organizations throughout the United States is sponsoring the meeting.
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.

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

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927
AMALGAMATION OF METHODISTS
The A. M. E. and the A. M. E. 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.

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.

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.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1927
Has Houston Commission Changed Fronts?
‘When the Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation
‘was orizinally Inunched 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 eonvietions
fand the moral courage to editorially express these convictions
and observations
‘After the commission began to function and vacancy occur-
red in the white division, some of the white members suggested
‘8 well-known local white editor for the vacant membership.
Whereupon the Inte 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 pub-
lishers, editors and reporters as members of the loeal body just
f year or two ago, today the same local commission not only
hhas on its membership roll certain publishers, editors and writers
of ebony hue, but current rumor has it that the first money se-
cured or “subscribed” for Houston's latest journalistic venture,
‘was donated, “subscribed” or “loaned” the race newspaper pro-
moters by two or three white members of the Houston Com-
mission 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 loeal commission,
if the rule has been invoked and employed as it related to other
Jocal white and colored newspaper publishers, editors and writ:
fers, will the Houston commision violate, 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 im-
poriled just a year or two ago by the inclusion in ita ranks of
White and colored nowspapermen; and, if news editors and writ
fers were personae non gratae then, when it came to member-
ship in the local interracial organiation, why are newspaper pub-
lishers and writers so necessary now that ecrtain loeal white
members of the Houston body” (according to current rumor),
feel duty bound to finance both these Newro publishers, mews
‘writers and their subsidized sheet?
‘The Houston Commission on Interracial Co-operation is pub:
lie movement and depends upon and reesives its financial and
‘moral support from public and quasi-public sourees! The body
is not a private organization, nor is it supposed to make and main-
tain sinecure positions and jobs for any members of the commis
sion!

BERS—LARGELY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC.
SPIRITED CITIZENS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE
MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE COMMISSION TO FUNC-
‘TION 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 orisinal
position concerning the exclusion of newspapermen from its
‘membership roll; or it will demand the immediate resignation
fof all members, colored and white, who are in any wise connect-
‘ed oF identified with any newspaper or publication; or the local
‘commission must admit, either publicly or silently, its inconsist-
feney, insincerity and hypocrisy, and then die the premature
death that ultimately avaits it or any similar organization which
