ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PH ODDFELLOWSINVADEALAMOCITY Jackson and Ewing Re-elected FINAL EDITION VOLUME IX ODD Jack The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON COVERING MUCH OF TEXAS The conductor of this column has been over quite a bit of the Lone Star State and are now being written in San Antonio "the cradle of Texas liberty," where the Alamo—tells of the heroic sacrifice made by a band of brave and devoted men from the monwealth from the clutches of Mexican domination during the early part of the 19th century, and freedom permutes and provides this historic city, and interracial relations are such as obtain very few friends. The mayor of the Alamo City, Hon. John Tobin, who is now in California, has been as important as one of the most outstanding men in the entire South, and this administration has been marked with wonderful civil proverbs. Mr. Tobin is the mayor of County for several years, and it was the most important stand during the reign of the governor, who kept all klan parades and demonstrations off the streets of the Alamo City. We spent Saturday and part of Sunday in Dallas and Ft. Worth, having a conference called by W. S. Wall, grand chancellor of the Colored University, August 19th, and being using the plans for the Texas delegation to the forthcoming supreme lodge of the witchcraft it is associated with the national gathering to Dallas, Texas, in 1929. An invitation committee, led by Dr. A. S. Jackson of Waco as the grand chancellor's representative on the advance guard, will leave Texas to Dallas, Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas, Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas, where headquarters will be opened and the campaign launched to capture Texas in 1929. The Texas delegation will be at Katy, Friday, August 12, 5:00 p.m. Returning to Houston Sunday afternoon on the Sunbeam, crack, deluxe non-stop passenger train of the Southern Pacific Lines, which makes only one stop between Dallas and Houston (that at Ennis to change train crews), we reached home to find a happy surprise, the presence of two classmates and friends, Mrs. Lorena Phillips-Wallace of Cleveland, Ohio, and Miss Hortensie Frame of Cleburne. These two classmates were well-known to us, and I have known in Texas as the "sweet singers of Cleburne." Mrs. Wallace's husband, Dr. J. E. Wallace, is also a native Texan, claiming Calvert as his native home, and is one of the leading race doctors in Cleveland, enjoying a very lucrative practice. Monday, forenoon we jumped into our auto, accompanied by my wife and youngest son, and hit the highway for San Antonio, leaving "Heavenly Houston" at 11:30 a.m. and reaching the Alamo City at 5:45 p.m. We drove to the beautiful home of Mr. Wallace, who is well-known to us, and Mrs. Gilbert Thomas, where we established headquarters for the week. (Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Richardson are sisters.) This article is being written on the first day of the grand lodge, and we never saw so many candidates for office in all the days of our journalistic and fraternal career. Candidates to the right of you, candidates to the left of you, candidates in front of you and candidates behind you; in fact candidates all around you; electioneering and soliciting votes and all claiming for election victories. How many are we? We have a number of Garner and Tobe Wallace of Dallas who stated that they were not candidates for any office—not when we interviewed them Monday morning. The presence of so many well-known politicians lends a political aim to the grand lodge, and the fireworks are expected to glare when the election is held. Among those present are William M. ("Gooseneck Bill") McDonald of Fort Worth, who just came down to "see what the boys are doing"; Charles Norvel Love, veteran editor-politician of Houston, who is itching for an occasion to "spill ink" on the proceedings; Rev. W. L. Dickson of Gilmer, the wheel-horse campaigner in many hectic battles in church and state; W. H. Mitchell, the Alamo City sage; Dr. Roscode Conkling Riddle of Denison, the physician who can talk and sway audiences in the same able manner that he treats and heals patients; A. W. Jackson of Rosenberg; Prof. I. M. Terrell and C. H. McGrudder of Houston; W. H. Seals of Rusk-Corskana; Waldo Matthews of Silsbee; Rev. M. M. Haynes, now pastoring at Bastrop; Prof. J. J. Burnett of Cleburne; Rev. J. H. Hughes of Cameron; Col. L. D. Lyons of Austin, busy as proverbial bee; R. L. Issac, F. H. Hart, Joe Polk; H. B. Washington, a man who is the only man who has the power to make the news of his family. THE HOUSTON INFORMER Pullman Porters' Case Remains In Status Quo (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—What is the truth about the Pullman porter situation? Rather, perhaps, the question should be, what are the facts regarding the present position of that undetermined company, which has been given the right to belong secretly to the organization known as the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters? It is this group which has held public attention through many months of agitation and speculation, and which has been the target of attacks and win for them certain improved working conditions and the result of which, if successful, would mean the establishment of Mr. Randolph and his co-workers as the heads of a labor union which the Company would have to deal in future difficult times with their employees. Washington, D. C. — What is the situation? Rear, perhaps — are the facts regarding the preamble of the porters who will and have been ordered to organize of Sleeping Car Porters? It is lie attention through many mans and announced purpose of his and whi for them certain imply of the porters. Mr. Randolph and his co-workers with which the Pulman Comp differences with their employee Only a few days ago, the co-workers investigated the matter with a mediation to bring them to ag out". The report was untrue (white), serving many dailies, story was accepted by many Nazi mediation the mediator to whom this par Chicago, the latter trying to po is said, to meet Randolph and "ever there may be of future in hinge on this effort. These employee representation committees are functioning now among Pullman employees who vote for their own representatives and meet whenever a disagreement comes up, with a vote being made on a settle them—the very thing which Randolph with his union seeks to do. The company regards Randolph, it is said, "as an outsider, never in the Pullman service, with a reputation as a politician, and being a member of the chance to make a lot of money from gullible porters." They point to the various raises in salary granted and influences under the employee representation plan. From sources close to the board of mediation, it was learned that "no case, which is known to adjust the pay structure, could be difficult to adjust due to the manner in which the case has been handled, the injection of the racial issue and the seemingly absolute disinellination of the Pullman. Paul Hill, B. V. Waddell, Sam Cebrun, A. F. Hall, all of the Magnolia City, who "aver that Houston must land another grand lodge office. Yes, sir, the Odd Fellows' woods are literally filled with candidates and aspirants; but, as usual, many are called, but, as a rule, are not called." The local committee, headed by William L. Hegwood as chairman and H. L. McElroy as secretary, has made every preparation to look after the comfort and care of the delegates and visitors, and we have heard no comments from the board.

If Government or Morrow fall in his effort to bring the company followed by the board, it can suggest an arbitration group, consisting of the company, one appointed by Mr. Randolph, and a neutral arbitrator. The company will decide the questions at issue. But there is the rub again. Mr. Randolph will be appointed by the company to board of arbitration. That would establish him and his organizational porters. But the board of mediation has no power to force the company to accept arbitration, which seems to be a simple step, that a simple refusal on the part of the company to become a party to the arbitration will end to the present fight by the company. A simple alternative would be a strike and peace everyone, even brotherhood members, regard that as impossible. The event of such a failure. Mr. Randolph may be able to persuade enough porters to carry on the fight within the company to the satisfaction of the service director of their activities, the employee representation act, to vote for his candidates who then could carry on the fight within the company. The company will be able to persuade the arbitration group in the organization he has built up and probably sharply reduce its income. The next few days or weeks and the following year the company will be a fight into which the porters whose confidence Randolph has won have placed thousands of dollars and devised a relationship between the largest employers of colored labor and their work- NEGROES TO HELP CHOOSE STATUE TO NEGRO DEAL Harrisburg, Pa.—Among those appointed to membership of the commission to issue impersonal Philadelphia to the memory of the Negroes who served in the wars of the United States were: William H.

The special train from "Heavenly Household of Ruth of Texas" is the first to be established in the city, but it also conveyed several candidates for various offices. In fact, there seem to be more candidates in the field from the Magnolia City than any other city in the entire jurisdiction. The public welcoming program was held in the spacious auditorium of the Frederick Douglass High School, South Hackberry, and the United Church, which is the home of the American extended the visitors on behalf of the city by Acting Paul E. Steffler. Mayor John W. Tobin, who turned over the municipal keys to the grand lodge when it met here before, is still, in a hospital in California and could not be present to perform this civic duty. The street commissioner was equal to the task and delivered a speech that was teeming with sincerity and earnestness. The public was invited to attend the meeting, and the heroic struggles made at the Alamo to salvage Texas from Mexican domination and exploitation. He also declared that only one city in the South surpassed San Antonio in the number of colored citizens owning or buying homes, and that is Birmingham, Ala. He exulted in the fact that no "race riot has ever taken place in San Antonio." The meeting was held at the same time as the first of the meeting, and the heroic not or racial friction is. He praised the type of Negro citizenry of the Alamo City and told of what the present municipal administration is doing for its less advantaged group.

As a matter of fact, there is not another auditorium in a colored public school building in all Texas that even hegins to approach the Alamo City one in size, appointment, beauty, etcetera. Despite the huge crowd that packed and jammed the first floor of the礼堂 on Monday night, there were several of the balcony that were never occupied. Intense and almost sickening heat greeted the opening program, and the heat was so intense and the weather so sultry that even the acting mayor was forced to apologize for this brand of weather in the Alamo City; adding that it was rather unusual and unnatural for San Antonio to have such hot and sultry weather. On the other hand hundreds of people remained outside the convention hall, and their loud talking and general hilarity, coupled with continual buzzing of the assembled hosts, placed both speakers and singers at quite a disadvantage. Speaking of singing brings to the fore the fact that the music, in spots, was exceptionally good. The Conro College male quartet literally brought down its house, being forced to respond to unencore. These race singers have recently returned to the state from a successful overland concert tour of the North and Middle West, where they rendered programs best of the musical, social and political operations of America. Other musical organizations have given by the Odd Fellows' choir of San Antonio and the Sunshine Glee Club of First Bartist Church of the City. Other Addresses Delivered James T.

Sheffield was the sixth of eight children born to Joseph Sheffield and Mrs. Jennie Sheffield, who had emigrated to Victoria County where the school he attended the public schools of his home town, completing the course of his education. He years at Bishop College, graduating after graduation, he entered Mehary Medical College at Nashville, where he and soon began the practice of medicine. Prior to his illness he was planning to take a special course in Recently, President Arthur H. Morgan of Antioch College, (white) said: "I seldom cross a bridge, but that I feel a thrill because the breed to which I belong had the courage and stamina to stop and permanently master that obstruction." He was an active member of the church and a member of the clergy. Aside from the practice of medicine, Dr. Sheffield took an active part in church, fraternal and civic organizations in Cuero, where he received a loyal member of Brothers Chapel and a loyal member of Brothers Chapel of Beaumont, he became a good friend of Beaumont, he became a good friend of E. church and was very active. He was a teacher of the men's Bible class, a member of one of Beaumont's glee clubs, was a friend of circle circles. He was an active member of fraternal affairs and attained eminence in the church. Aside from the practice of medicine, Dr. Sheffield was no less zealous than in church, fraternal and professional Undoubtedly, he is right—and all the bridges we must cross are not iron or steel. When Booker Washington wanted to cross "The gulch of ignorance and the rapid floods and torrents that separate the trained from the untrained men, he found no great steel bridges on which he might cross in ease." He had to ford the waters as best he could and gain his own education by arduous and humiliating trials and errors. But he built a bridge on which our group has come a great portion of the way. Dr. Sheilfeld was married to Miss Daly Lagerdouce of Loreau, Texas, and teenagers of her own, and credited to the unseafish and helpful staff of the hospital, constantly at his bedside during his Hirsch until he passed away. Sheilfeld made the best use of his time, talent, and experience. Indeed, all progress we have made, as a group, was over bridges that our forefathers built. Religiously, they have built great bridges; and fraternally, they have wrought bridges compraable to any. He was loyal and kind in all his Upright and just to the end of his days; and true in heart and mind, A beautiful memory he has left behind. Wonderful bridges have been built for us—what can we do in our turn? Economically, we are halted before a lake filled with stagnant waters of Fear, Mistrust and Ignorance. We can build for ourselves and our children a bridge, with the pillows of honesty and thrift, bound by girders of faith and co-operation, to span the lake of prejudice and dependence. Shall we accept the bridges that have been built for us without using our advantages to build better bridges in the future? Real Building and Loan Association Safety Loan and Brokerage Co., Inc.

Continuing, the tilted head of the order stated the order was in fine shape and that strife had been waged in the ranks of Odd Fellows. After conducting the customary opening ceremony of the committee was appointed, and while the committee was preparing the roll of the grand lodge, the roaring of the delegates and visiting dignitaries were rew. M. M. Haynes of Baston-ren, Buny of Fort Worth, R. L. Dickson of Litchfield, Jackson of Rosenberg, John W. Rice of Dallas, Dr. Rosece C.

Graud Master Jackson declared that the present lodge has been the first to receive this department of the order. Colonel Sam Cebrum, Houston, is commandant of the department, received a big hand and department night attired in his spotless white uniform, when presenting the units to the Deceased Treasurer Honored The grand lodge recessed Tuesday afternoon to pay a tribute of respect to the late B. Y. Aycock of San Antonio, who served as district grand treasurer until claimed by the Grim Reaper. This honor was in the form of unveiling a tombstone at the grave of the lamented treasurer at the Odd Fellow's cemetery. Hon. F. E. Lewis, San Antonio mortician and fraternalist, served as master of ceremonies. Prof. J. C. Sutton of San Antonio spoke on "Aycock, a National Character"; Hon. William M. McDonald of Fort Worth, "Aycock, a Builder". Grand Master G. W. Jackson, "Aycock, a Grand Lodge Officer". Appropriate music was furnished by patriarchy brass band. Departed Members Revered Special memorial exercise were held at the High School, when the deceased merited the last year of their life. The memorial was prescheduled by Rev. G. P. C. Curry pastor First Baptist Church of San Antonio, by the senior and junior choirs of the school. Wednesday Report Day Report of grand lodge officers conducted the program in the Grand Lodge.

Grand Master's Able Message In the course of his annual message Grand Master Jackson said at this point to say that whatever success we have achieved with your humble servant alone, but each one of the servants which you have achieved with his share of the success or failure that we have sustained the endowment secretary, the D. G. M. N. G. of mediate mediators must have their share in whatever success or failure we have achieved. 9 M. HON. JAMES T. EWING Houston, Texas District Grand Secretary THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1927 THE MUSEUM me to stress especially the unintended the Grand Secretary and Sister Fraser. While it is my pleasure to lay stress on these we have no occasion to mention the loyalty in the ranks of the workers. Loyalty To The Cause Let me stress the point of loyalty to the cause. There is no such thing with the hounds, and you are trying with the hounds and you are trying to catch the hare and you are not running with the hounds. We must United Order of Dell Fellows or any other organization to the hounds. We cannot serve God and mammon. The greatest trouble we want to out at the start with our lodges is disloyalty and diabolism. I want to out at the start While we have not entered all the lodges and have not held meetings with all of them, we take for example those visited by the grand master. We find the financial status of the lodges in moderate condition. While none of the lodges have money to let, the majority of them are holding their own and paying their claims. The spiritual condition of our lodges is very low, indeed we consider it to be at the starvation point. With but few exceptions there is absolutely no spiritual life in the lodges of Texas. What we mean is this: A lodge that finds no time to study the principles of the order; no time to meet and give instructions to the new members; no time to initiate its new members; no time to open and close its meeting according to form; no time to try its members that break the laws; no time to do anything but collect dues, is a dead lodge and is ready to be buried. We are sorry to say that we find many lodges in this condition. Doings In the Order We have had a very peaceable year in the Jurisdiction in general but in certain lodges and localities we have MONUMENT TO RACIAL ACHIEVEMENT ODD FELLOWS $ ^{*} $ TEMPLE, PRAIRIE AVE. AND LOUISIANA ST., HOUSTON, TEXAS Loyalty To The Cause Doings In the Order had some sporadic cases of financial and governmental troubles. The progress of the order is encouraging on the general interest of the people, we have had local troubles with lodgings which have not been guarded as to the care of their finances. In fact we are pained to say that this has been a higher degree of the matter in financial losses among the lodges. We have had no bank robberies no midnight hold-ups, but have had no bank robberies of the time of the time among the officers of the lodges that has baffled all of our skill in trying to arrest it and make sure the money will be so much or human-grand United Orders. Add Fellows. We have been astounded and amazed at the high-handed and un-Odd Fellowly practice which has been made to the final point this year and which has necessarily worked a fearful hardship on these unfortunate lodges. We are bound to give the service of the task of the working, the condition of affairs in our lodges. We must see to it that the money earned by the hard-working washer woman, the man who has been a firm smoker who has the skin has been worn off and has made a pad to save his neck from galling, the honest workman of the firm. We are not limited to the problem of the protection from the theft and the robber, who have secreted themselves under the guise of Odd Fellowship to pull into effect their nefarious and perilous workman'sอาณาจักร. We do not adjourn till some law has been enacted which will enable the membership to feel that their money is not a part of the life of the old Fellows. We have found to an Odd Fellow. We have found trouble in Longview, Marshall, Ft. Worth, Houston, Navasota, Henderson, Milford and in several other locations. We have been a decision and of them this decision for special legislation. We Suggest A Remedy We ask the lodges that have not already taken protective methods to make sure of your finance by applying three of these methods, including the ```markdown ``` M. B. HON. J. H. RIDDLE Houston, Texas Secretary Endowment and Burial Boards treasureur. This committee should be delegated to deposit your money in the bank, and the treasureur will same. This should be done after every regular meeting of the lodge. The treasureur will be the bank by checks signed by the N. treasureur, and the posting of the funds is put in charge of a committee named by the lodge a loop-hole would be eliminated when the treasureur is in charge. The Old Members During the year we have spent some time in investigating the question of how to deal with members of the order when they become old and warts out by service. We have tried to give them a paid up policy that we cannot give a paid up system of taxation. Old life insurance policies can make such provisions. Grand orderors operated as the Grand United Order of Old Fellows and can make such provisions. Therefore, after careful consideration, to use the following plan of caring for the disabled That when members, both men and women, have served the order continue to break record of good deeds and loyal service and have grown disabled they board the G. U. O. O. F., and when such application is accepted by the board of the endowment, cause paying his or her endowment, provide the endowment degration, and burial at the death of the member, carried at the death of the member, served from the endowment department will be returned at his or her endowment, and provided for this provision, since every dollar taken out of the widow's and orphan's funds will in time weaken the endowment return that which is withdrawn. We have the choice of this grand lodge that the old members of the old members will be settled and become a permanent help to them. (Continued on Editorial Page) MRS.

Harry Wills was a success as a puglitt. He was neither a coward nor a weakling. He was not great on the art of defense like Jack Johnson, but his sturdy fighting qualities made him for years feared by the whole puglittistic list, from the champions' down. He was not a coward, and he was not weak, as his sony battles during the years showed in the. The puglistic decline comes, much earlier and much more rapidly than the decline of other manly powers. It is in the exuberant and over-flowing energies and vitalities of the twenties that one stands the grind best. And yet the great joke on the "champs" and other heavies of the white race was that they feared Wills lost it. It was necessary, perhaps, too far him. It was the commentary on the well-known fact that, in every line of competition, the American whites fear an American black, even when his actual chances may be only one out of five or ten. That is a part of the penalty they pay for their discriminating attitude toward the Negro; he is a bugato to their minds, in spite of their open boasts of "superiority and the homastic hogging of the newspaper headlines." The problem of the newspaper headlines made him for years feared by the whole puglistic list, from the champions' down. He was not a coward, and he was not weak, as his sony battles during the years showed in the. But the real superiority of Harry Wills as a sporting man and a puglist lay in his personal character. Undoubledly there has been no man of his profession, black or white, who was or is as clean and manly, as sober and done a citizen, as is Harry Wills. If the fond of his fistic career is marked by his late fight, in which he met the defeat which all will finally meet who pursue his profession, he may be no longer less retire with the honor can nevertheless retire with the honor with which few others have retired: he may be no longer a great puglist and a menace to dodging white "champions," but he is an estimable MAN. Of course, those noisy hangers-on and limelight-hunters, who were bestowing flattery on Wills in the days of his front-page glories, will now just as naturally run away to bestow their treacherous flattery upon others who will come after. But those who admired HARRY WILLS much more than they admired his profession, will still remember that he has been a credit, not a dishonor, nor a disgrace, to his friends and his race. Long and happy life to him in whatever career he may now choose! SUMMER RESORT OPENS IN OHIO Springfield, Ohio.—Thousands are attracted weekly to "Beautiful Mountain Lake," the new summer resort situated in the heart of Ohio, 4 miles from Bellefontaine, 40 miles from Springfield and 50 miles from Columbus. This plot consists of 175 acres, of which 75 acres are under water, and has 94 building lots. Dr. Lloyd Jones of Columbus is starting the erection of a $4,000 cottage this week. There are many inducements to lot owners, electric lights and free use of improved driveways. There are parks and playgrounds for children, mooring space for one boat for each lot, free shelter and picnic grounds, no taxes until Dec. 1928. The dancing and dining hall is said to be of the best of its kind in central Ohio. THE INNOCEER Bachelor's Degree in Public Health M.D. Department of Public Health Howard University, Washington, D.C. The story of infant mortality among American is a tale of the great American tragedy. Children are stained the hands of each and every American citizen black and white and still remain too high and all out of keeping with our coated civilization, but the wide difference between groves, spells a tale of neglect, ignorance, indifference, and poverty which can citizenize and ask himself how well he is serving his fellowman, and how he is protecting his community. Figures are usually ample, but they have a vivid way of setting forth the statistics. The report port shows infant death rate per 1,000 births the whites had 68.8 and colorado had 65.6. Births for whites there were 3.6 and for colored 7.6. This report covers the registration area of the United States, where the percent of illegitimate births among Negroes than among whites much to increase the infant mortality rate. Births for white population there were 22,966 illegitimate births with the terrible statistics. It spite the fact that they make up about only one tenth of the national population. Stilbirs among these births are 2,152. Births among colored 2,152. The death rate among Negro infants during their first year is among any other race group in America. It is worth while considering the birth rate of illegitimacy plays in this. Ignorance, poverty, superstition, neglect, fatalism and indifference all threaten the success of the officer of the innocents, and it is the business of everyone among our race who has an ounce of sense and a grain of intelligence to help relieve this situation. The Elks are undertaking a study of concern for the people, but they do not have to be an Elk to lend your hand and heart to this great human cause. These little guys have a chance to live out their span, if the Negro race expects to go forward in progress and accomplishment. SUNSET MSET GRAND LODGE 'BUNDLE The Sunset Grand Lodge A. F. and A.

To acknowledge that you are wrong, after you find out that you are wrong, of one of the hawks and rarest, of human Henry Ford has just acknowledged the articles published for years in his book *The Art of War* and slandering the Jewish people, were wrong. And he tells us, what articles have his name as author, he did not know what was in them, until he read them. He writes that articles have his name as author, he did not know what was in them, until he read them. He sees what all the ado is about. In *The Art of War* Jew induces him to read the articles and see what all the ado is about. In *The Art of War* he does not write those articles, but did not even read them. He compares the folly, in this exquisite world, for big buoy men ever to allow others to speak for them on important issues or to sign their own names. He certainly an attack upon a whole people is an important item of business. We need intelligence to write them, he never writes to write them. He now proves his intelligence to write them, he never writes to write them. He now proves his intelligence to reading them, under This rejection and apology in nothing but creditable to Henry Ford. It is self to be so imposed, but he is to remedy the fault. It is a credit to his personal character; it shows him Yes, and it is also a credit to his business. Yes, and it is also a credit to his business. little people like the Jews, might in finance will not be, in the end, led to failure. Ford's action is also to be credited on the case. 1. To their character: they are one of the smallest elements of crime in the nation; they recall the man who she had unwittingly permitted to be broadcast against them. It is a case where well-established character is involved in recalcitrant behavior than any other race of people. The nerve of racial honor seems to run deep when it is touched they all feel. 2. To their credit: the suit which Sapiro, the jew, has been prosecuting against him for libel. Ford so far had the advantage in that he was the same spirit for him to make these acknowledgments. We trust that the suit will be dropped in the same spirit, and General Boll will just turn in and correct a few lies, make a few accusations, and to the American Negro, the "Record Angel" can go on a summer vav.

Turnell, professor of history and political science in Howard University. The professor was speaking at the annual meeting of the Ministers' Conference in New York on the nepper Baptist Church last Thursday evening. His son was dead. Consequently the two, he could see little difference. While we are freed from the yoke of slavery, we have damental things of life and are dividing academic and academic questions, he said. "There is more eloquence in the colony than in the earth, but eloquence, too, is academic and transitory. It is great for the "Out of every 100 Negroes, 90 of them age either farmers, household children of these humble folk are graduating from the schools to be other professionals. They have no desire to enter the broad economical field of agriculture, thrown out of gear and spirit with this materialistic age. Consequently we have to pay a palling death rate. We have to die in Washington, the death rate is still higher than the whites. There are also this due either to low vitality or low morality," the professor continued.

The farmers standing on levees and looking out over their ruined crops and out over the flooded fields still spread over the southern Mississippi valley, is the most serious problem. The blow is heavy on the great plantation owners, but these at least can take a mortgage on their property in the flooded valley, so the blow is created by the tenant farmers of them Negroes, who have seen their crops wiped out, who have nothing to do with the planters and the planters chalking up their debt higher and higher, and sinking into the planters' peonage of peonage because of the disaster.

The white landlords and their kind, the black landlords and their kind, in many cases saved their live stock before they saved the colored worker's wife and child. In the refugee camps, the whites had whatever comforts there were. The plantation owners hunted down their Negro tenants and sequestrated them. They try to escape they are pursued with all the pressure of the law, and halled back to their levee prisons, where many still abide, fretting, sick, starving, hopeless and forever unable to escape the pressure of debts that the flood has caused and debts with which, despite laws and constitutions, mean slavery for the Negro farmer.

GOLDEN TEXT - he not overcome of PRIMARY TOPIC - David's kindness to His Henry. PRIMARY TOPIC - David shows Miracle, INTERMEDIATE David shows Miracle, INTERMEDIATE David shows Miracle, How to Treat Those Who Wrone Young POPULENCE and ADULT TOPIC Young POPULENCE and ADULT TOPIC 1. Saul in Pursuit of David (v. 13). Ever since David took his departure from Jonathan (ch. 20), when that crowning act of friendship was shown, Saul had been burgling as a wizard. David took 3,000 men chosen. David fries from place to place and is in burgling as an country's doing disreputable things. This is the period of his schooling, which fitted him to be the wizard. David could never have had he not been prepared in this school, but God sent him to this school and adapted the instruction to his needs. David could never have had he not been prepared in this crucible of bitter experience. He learned many lessons, among them 1. His own weakness. It was necessary that he be humbled under the pressure he was under, so one is it to be raised to a position of prominence he must be made to know his limitations and weakness. Under the sudden elevation to power will utterly ruin him. 2. His dependence upon God. 3. His diving many incitations escaped him to realize that the Lord had redeemed him out of his adversity. 4. People over who he was to rule. By knowing the grievous afflictions which Saiul had heaped upon the people, he could be redeemed. 4. He learned the magnanimity of self-control. This a man must know before he can be a king. His trust in Saiul had soaked into tathaeb a city (Pro. 16,23). 5. In Saul in Davi's Hands (v. 4,20) he said soaked into tathaeb (r. 4). This he was to be redeemed in the night to where Saiul was sleeping. Abhali asked to be allowed to kill Saiul, but David fortified him be 3. David takes Saul's spear and cruse of water (wv. 12, 13). Once before, at Engedil (chap, 24). David spared Saul's life. Now again he was at his mercy. This David did that be might show tangible evidence to the king that he had no evil intent. 4. David taunts Abner, the king's bodyguard (wv.14-16). He calls to Abner and taunts him for his litlelessness—his failure to watch over the Lord's annotated, the evidence of which is the cruse and spear in his hands. 5. David reasons with Saul (vv. 17-20). David reasoned with Saul, showing that he had nothing but good intentions toward the king. He asked that he would show what wrong he had done, or what evil intent was in his heart. If the Lord was directing Saul he was willing to appease His wrath with an offering. If Saul was only hunting him because wicked men, he persevered upon them. David is very humble and begs Saul to relent, for surely if he had any wicked purpose he would not have saved his life twice when the Lord had placed Saul wholly at his mercy. David recognized the fact that the Lord had delivered Saul into his hands not to kill, but to save. He did not kill, neither did he allow his servants to kill. III. Saints' Confession (vv. 21-25). 1. He confessed that he had stained his hands. 2. He confessed that he was in that it lacked conviction, for he went right on staining. 3. He confessed that he had played the role of successor, accordingly. We see about us daily many using such expressions, but still they go on to be misused, and the magnanimity of spirit, however, in delivering the crusade and spear to the enemy, is not genuine, so he was afraid to noear. He still appealed to Saints' kindness to him, and they parted ways. Praying "It is better to do a little with prayer and in the Spirit than to be busy with many things in your own strength."

The railroads are sure to lend little or no difficulty and when our people are holding their grand lodges, conventions, associations and other gatherings where large numbers of them attend these meetings. Even now with roads that are good, bad and indifferent, so many of our people much prefer the hardships of such a road trip that they have, embarrassment and indignities of the damnable and diabolical ones. This does not mean that our people object to riding in coaches or sections of coaches on the railroad trains provided and set aside for them, as a partial compliance with laws of the Southern states covering separate but equal accommodations for the two races; but they do very strenuously and vehemently object to paying for them. The railroad trains are owned for even cattle and swine—such conditions as obtain on the vast majority of the passenger trains operated in the Southern states, Texas being no exception in this respect. If a first-class, reputable grocery store or dry goods house were to charge colored customers one price for commodities and then sell these same articles to other races at a lower price, such stores would be able to afford the goods expressed through the glare of pitiless publicity and are long their business would find itself in a very precarious condition. Still the railroad companies of the South engage in a hi-jacking and holdup game, charging colored passengers the same road fare as passengers of other races, but denying and refusing to accord these same colored passengers the same kind and class of accommodations tendered the passengers of other races. Certainly there is nothing ethical, fair, just or honorable in such unfair and unreasonable policy on the part of the Southern railroads towards their numerous colored passengers, yet they continue to pull off this game and easily get by with it. We have no reason to believe that their raw and rotten deal on these common carriers, for even though we have the law on our side—equality as well as separateness of accommodations on railroads of Dixie—we do most of our complaining to ourselves, at the "big gate," but seldom, if ever, complain to the proper officials, at the "big house." We have no reason to complain for the strict enforcement of the separate coast law of our section, many of the evils, inequalities and injustices encountered and endured by colored passengers on the passenger trains of the South would be remedied and eradicated: as but long as we wilive and sing our national anthem—"The Blues"—to ourselves, we are going to continue to pay first-class fare and then receive "stealth class service." Even with good roads and thousands of automobiles, the vast majority of our people will still employ the railroad trains of the South for passage and transportation, and any decent, self-representing man or woman of color just its resentments and objects to the "jim-crow" coach, together with its ramifications, as opposed to the "snowman" coach, which will not be compelled to accept an inferior article or service; and the concern, corporation or railroad company that pursues such policy is getting money by and through false pretenses, and is openly and rotten to tramping under its corporate foot the written law of the land. Our representative bodies, both religious, fraternal, civic and political, should dispatch committees to the officials of the railroad companies, governors and legislatures of the several Southern states and take up with these officials the horrible and shocking conditions that obtain in the "jim-crow" coaches on Southern railroads. We must resort to law enforcement, then resort to law procedure and see if we can not get redress through a court of equity—for the law on this point is evidently plain and manifestly fair until it comes to its interpretation and application by the railroad companies and their hirelings. Showing our resentment and disapproval of the nefarious "jim-crow" law and coach by employing automobiles is all right and all fair, and we must respect the rights of the desired reforms in railroad travel and accommodations for colored passengers—we must invoke and emply the legal tribunals if we would secure the semblance of a fair and square deal.

PACE TOO MUCH FOR OUR TEAM Truly, so many of our people are living such a fast life and are stepping on the gas with such reckless abandon that it bodes ill for the future of our race along constructive and worthwhile lines. We are not going to be a part of the home life, and our so-called society is a misnomer, while the church preaches too much gospel about things celestial and not enough about things terrestrial. We have gone "bugs" about short cuts to this and that, and we now want to spend our days of apprenticeship along any given line. The future of the Temple will depend upon the service we can give the build and upon the management. If the build is well managed, the management is wise and prudent, we shall be able to stem the tide of competition and success will crown the Instead of being content and willing to reach the top of the ladder, rung by rung, too many of us want to attain the summit without employing the lower rounds of the ladder as the means to the end. We regard and esteem, it appears, our race building as a joke and we treat the brawn to the race to puff up when other races amuse and treat us as a joke. The Endowment Department In our maddened and frenzed efforts to "keep up with the Joneses" and make ourselves appear to the public as what we "aint t" (pardon our grammar here), many of us will resort to all kinds of clothing and "keep in society", or keep up appearances or run with the gang. Jazzmania is the outstanding and most damnable and diabolical evil of modern times; men and women caring more for the passing and fleeting life of things than for the permanent and worthwhile things that go to make a strong, robust and fit race and that can be found in the uplift, betterment, and advancement of any race or nation. People are being influenced entirely too much these days by their environments and are virtually worshipping at the shrines of jazz, passion, gold, fame, moral cowardice, social prestige and political preference. These cases can not shape their lives and control their appetites and passions within the channels of their what, can we expect from those in the lower walks of life who raged such men as examples, models and ideals? The athlete, whether in baseball, football, on track or in any branch of athletics, who dissipates, carouses, keeps late hours, runs, or goes to the gym, can be a part of nature can not long expect or hope to compete successfully with his opponents in the same line of athletic endeavor. He may discover ever long that while the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak, his stamina is gone and his endurance a faded memory, and he soon passes from the arena fitness like dew before the penetrating rays of an August sun—"unwep, unhonored and un Too many of us are "brick-batting our opportunities" and too many of us are disregarding the training rules laid down in the manual of life, and thus when called upon to deliver a pinch hit we often fail to connect, and our team and cause go down in inglorious defeat, ignominy and shame. The word "according to Hoyle" racially speaking and that from a collective angle; for often when called upon to sacrifice and advance the runner to second or third base in the great game of life, too many of us try to knock the cover off the ball, playing to the grandstand, and hit into a double play or take three swats at the atmospheric pressure and resume our seat on the players' bench, while the fans jeer and ride us for our failure to deliver the hit at the critical moment. The player is triple and nobody is out, he is left stranded on the third cushion because the succeeding batters are not able to cope with the situation, step on the apple and bring the runner home, either with a sacrifice飞 to the field, a safe bingle or the intricate squeeze play. What is worse, sometimes our batter knocks the pellet for four cushions, then fails to touch one of the bags, the ball is played and the runner is out, and the deciding score has been lost to our side and cause for the failure of the runner to do the small thing of touching all the bags while circling the bases on his hefty hit. The worshippers, devotees and adherents of the goddess Jazmania are already doomed to defeat, disaster and destruction unless they forsake her unholy altars, renounce all allegiance and resistance and countenance the enchance he enlisted in the countenance and flapperish apparel them in such naths that they can not retrace their steps. We must get back to earth once more, restore our family life take our feet off the gas, slow down the old machine before encountering the dangerous curves on the slippery highway of life and become serious and sober-minded in this gigantic program of race-building; for the game is short at its longest, while the fight is tight and the stick is short! AUTOS, NEGROES AND JIM CROWISM! Southern Negro delegates to the various conventions, grand lodges and annual meetings, which are held largely during the summer months, are showing their contempt for and disgust with the infernal and infamous "jim-crow" coaches on the Dixie railroads, by motoring in their automobiles to so many of these gatherings. The conductor on a southern passenger train, in conversation with another white passenger also sharing with the conductor on a northern passenger covered conventions of a dirty dinging Dixie day coach, in the presence of one lone colored passenger, stated that the Negroes of the state and the South are showing what they think about the "jim-crow" laws by traveling overland in their own automobiles. That the endowment department of our order is at this time the strongest and most attractive feature of our order goes without argument. In former days, members joined the order to care for the sick and bury the dead, but in these later days members are attracted to the order for what they can get out of it. They have made the order an insurance company purely and simply. In other words, men aim to get out of the order every dollar they put in it and are disappointed when they find they have put in more than they will get out. The endowment, therefore, is the biggest attraction that we can hold out to prospective members and old theme—friendship, love and truth has taken back seats in the hearts of the brotherhood. It behaves us, therefore, to make this department do its work effectively. The Household of Ruth The Household of Ruth in charge have taken on new life and with Sister Hughes as drive director there is no chance for failure. Sister Fraction hard on the field to bring light out of the dark places in the jurisdiction where she went. The Ruths have had the opportunity to cross the pathway of all the workers. Notwithstanding this condition she had升 splendid led up splendid in the drive Patriarchy Department This department of our order has been woefully neglected in Texas all the time, and we have come when we cannot neglect it further unless we do it at our own expense. Odd Fellows put on a program of progress all along the line and that program should include the tail, body, and head of the horse for fifty (50) years in Texas on the grounds that the proportion to the other part has done but little on the head. The Patriarchy is the head of our order and we have come when we need to proportion to the other part has come when the lodges in Texas must vote a small tax to support it. This grand lodge not to adjoin until something has been done to put this grand lodge to not adjoin until something has been done to put this our order in the limelight of progress. We believe the failure of this tax was due to a lack of proper information from the grand lodge send this tax down once more and let us carry it to them in the duty in this direction. We have joined the Patriarchy, the tax for the S. M. COLLINS El Paso, Texas District Grand Auditor support of that branch of our order should be shared by the members of the household and the proportion sent to them to be voted on at the same time the lodges are asked to vote. The households are generally loyal—and we believe they would see their duty in this direction. Our Membership Drives We have conducted the drive this year with considerable handicap. In the first place, as we said, we have many points of view. The money market was a cotton and a cotton, and the people could not get hold of only a little money. We could not be able to join the order even though they desired to do so and the joining fee was reasonable, being only $2.50. We did not drive the drive was a success, notwithstanding the odds against the living conditions of the state. We did not go out into the hedges and highways of the state and take them in and spend thousands of dollars. We did not drive workers have done a reasonable service in their search for jobs, with the laws of our order and in harmony with common decemcy in the It was not our policy to take a broom and sweep into the order every man that wears pants, nor every woman that wears pants, nor every asked the drivers to carry the gospel of friendship, love and truth to every thief, to thieves, to thiegers, high-jackers and harriers. If they have brought in this broom, customs and have degraded the order, Let us hope that we have got the best in the race and that we have not been rather than weakened by the increase this year. People make a 'argument that it does no good to have membership drives. We claim it is very necessary to have membership drives in order to prevent losses must be combated with a reasonable increase. There must be a one dies another must be put in charge, losses are not replaced it will not be long before you will have no members As one dies another must be put in charge, Jackson's Recommendations: 1. That the grand lodge will contain the executive board through the reelection process and the actuary, in setting aside of $25,000 which may be used for old and disbanded members, have been recommended by the board. 2. That the endowment by-laws to the executive board authority to grant benefits benefits when they have arrived at a certain age and passed satisfied examinations as to their eligibility. 3. That the by-laws be so changed to authorize the authority to issue certificates with recommendation of the actuary, say in denominations of $300, $500, and $1. 4. That in cities where there are many lodges, the lodges must appoint the grand master may appoint a local auditor in the money of the order to examine the books of the lodges and recommend any necessary improvement in the money of the order to make secure our money which is paid to our offices to deposit, we recommend that an committee be appointed to caution to save the money. That a committee be known to be known as the finance committee, whose duty shall be to deposit all money in the bank immediately of the order. 6. In order that there may be unqualified reports coming to the office of the auditor, we recommend that an auditor be put in charge whose duty shall be to keep tab on the reports as they come from the office of the auditor, we recommend that an auditor shall constitute an assistant to the endowment secretary. The duty of the auditor of each lodge must keep up with his counts and in order to enable each lodge to keep up with the reports of 7. We recommend that the grand lodge shall adopt a patriarchial tax of fifteen cents (15) and again send it down the line to be voted on by the lodges and households of the jurisdiction, the latter being required to submit this provision to the households of the jurisdiction. 8. We recommend that the action of the executive board be endorsed by the grand lodge with reference to the purchase of a band or bands to be known as the district grand lodge bands. (We have negotiated for two bands, one at Ft. Worth and the other at Houston. Each of these bands is in five trim and will do honor to the grand lodge).

We vent the spirit of friendship, love and truth, peace happiness and prosperity having its effect. We do not always understand—we do not always see—but as years roll by, and voices are humbled and footfalls grow fewer and fewer, how come to see and realize that our sorrow, our woes, and our troubles are for our good. Come to us today bigger, better, greater, stronger and more prosperous than ever before in life, and yet, we have not accomplished that task and can be accomplished. Is our work, and need, to do it Mr. Riddle has been a more men-hazed, despaired, and cuffed for lying down, than on standing up. Stand up for it. If you have faith, stand up for it. If you have a church, stand up for it. If you have a lodge, an order, stand up for it. As I stand before you today may I today in all earnestness as I do, your day is the happiest days of my life in that I face you with matters towards none, and justice for them is my duty, and I am against a living being, man or woman. The first of these days was when I was a servant, a servant of the Savior, and accepted Him as my conductor, my guide, my rock, my friend.
