RICHARDSON SOME OBSERVATIONS Taken to our promise made in this colour, last week, we are discussing this week some of our observations en route to and in Chicago, where these lines are being tyred. We are laboring under a handicap being right over the traffic cork's spiral mobile and motor bus traffic. When we inform one who has visited the Grand Boulevard, he or she will readily recognize the fact that we are sitting in the world. Cars of every make and description are constantly speeding past us in the Texas Pythian delegation, the former—formally an exclusive white hotel—being located Dr. R. T. Hamilton and Prof. John Dr. R.

We shall not attempt to cover the session, but we will attend it in the current issue by the usual news release sent out by the Associated Press way. The Houston Informer is the only newspaper published in "Heaven," and will all fans and fans will be interested to know that we saw the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh National League championship, along with the Chicago Cubs (now leading the brilliant diamond contest. Thursday afternoon at Sportsman Park, when the Corsairs 2-1, being opposed by Airdge and Milijus a former Houston playmaker, pitched in the reffered game, seventh frame, when he smashed a wrinkle drive into the right field position of Frankie Friedhe "the Fordham Flash" now guarding the Cardinals' keystone Texas product—ahead of him. These two scores won the game. Friedhe and Bottomley's wallop followed. Saturday afternoon we saw the Chicago Cubs take the game against the Cincinnati Fools, the game against a team of the Cubs and Jackie May of the Reds. This was also a contest in management, with the Cubs evincing victories over Manager Hendricks of the Reds, when Seasoned Runs of the Cubs came in after May had been ordered to pass Fletcher Stephenon to retake the Reds. This writer has been to Chicago several times, but today (Saturday) he came on it before. Leaving the South side on an express express train, it took him 10 minutes to reach Wrigley Field on the North Side, and after the game it took it to dush over the streets, particularly in Chicago) fully 50 minutes to get up back to the apartment of our brother, at 847 East 46th Place.

Our son, Leon, who is making his own out of Texas, is cognitively alert.

Speaking of touring and automobiles, Chicago seems to be a Buick stronghold, for we have seen more cars of said make since being here than any other. Fords are scarce here—don't remember seeing 6 since here we have been. Wonder what grudge Chicagoans have against Henry Ford and his popular "Lizzie." We have observed quite a number of "for rent" signs on flats and apartments on the South Side of Chicago, as well as several such signs on downtown buildings. Notwithstanding this, the Windy City is still the premier municipality of America, being the only American city where such an invigorating atmosphere of freedom and liberty prevails.

The tone of the addresses of welcome even indicated the attinso- sphere that prevailed throughout the Anthony Overton's Address Perhaps the most emphatic confirmation of that serious attitude toward the work before the body was the address of Anthony Overton president of the Douglass National Bank of China, and the post-time of the public the difficulties in receiving and establishing of the national bank overtened by our people in Chicago. His speech was devoted to verbal, protecethics, but was in tensely interesting by virtue of the practical information conveyed.

These were all answered in a manner that was distinctly educational.

We always ask a good answer to this, but quite likely one reason for our keen interest in summer desserts is that at this time of year, the other seasons of the year—and so there is more "space" and opportunity for the enjoyment of a good dessert. Then, too, along come berries and chocolate, and the other seasons of the year so joly and flavorful that the most judged appetite could possibly be made. We draw a tribute to simply with sugar and cream. Then growth and thought turn to shortcake and to pudding, fresh berry pie to shortcake and fruit jellies, and the dozens of different delicious ways to use fruits While short cake reaches the height of its popularity during strawberries' summer season, it also comes in the other desserts during the entire Summer season.

The recent death of Judge Gary, Chairman of the U. S. Steel Corporation, has again brought forcibly to the attention of the world what that man meant to the development of the steel industry. Few people will reflect, however, upon the fact that Gary won because he "planned to win." As Governor of New York State Governor Smith has uttered a promise to honor honors, however, Governor Smith has merely drawn passing attention to a statement, to which the Demo year in and year out.

Thursday morning Mötter came an eloquent denouncement of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after several lawyers accused Mötter of employment of white attorneys, and Friday night Mötter traced the history of the modern, setting and the service it must perform in lifting the burden of the convention.

The twelve months session embraced nine months for the regular session and three months ended in the session and marked the close of the first year's administration of Principal W. R. Banks as principal of the institution. During the twelve months more than 1300 students from all sections of the country enrolled in four colleges, including the trades and industries. At the close of the regular session, May 23, sixty students were awarded the degree of bachelor of science, and at the summer school commencement of the following two twenty-year young men and women on whom like honors were conferred. Prairie View College is the largest state college for Negroes in America, and the future, under the wise and Christian leadership of Principal W. R. Banks, the first of the first college among the first in education and practical usefulness for our people. To meet the demands for an enlarged enrollment, $100,000 has been appropriated by the recent special session of the Texas Legislature to the great recreation of the plant. It has been drawn and the dormitory will be built as rapidly as possible.

There were 86,610 schoolhouses of all kinds in the fourteen southern states in 1924, when the federal bureau of law compiled a later figures. On July 16, 1925, the age was 24,079 schools for Negroes. Of these, 22,494 (93.4 per cent) were rural. The simple, one-teacher type of school made up 63.8 percent of the National schools; the top-teacher school, 18.8 per cent, three-teacher school, 7.1 per cent, and the four-teacher and larger, 10.3 per cent of all rural Negro schools in the south. The influence of the Rosenbaugh fund is more than that of the one said that only 5.0 per cent of the one-teacher schools are Rosenwald schools, while 29.3 per cent of the two-teacher, 31.2 per cent of the three-teacher, 31.7 per cent of the four-teacher and five per cent of the two-teacher. These have been helped by this fund. These Rosenwald schools provide 27.4 per cent of the pupil capacity for the total rural enrolment of Negro children. “But we go back to the picture.

Beaumont, Tex.—The first issue of the bulletin published by the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas will be ready for distribution not later than September 1st. Possibly some of the teachers over the state have grown alightly impatient, but the work has been necessarily slow. The blame for the belated issue cannot be laid upon the executive secretary, nor for that matter, upon any one person. In the latter part of June the work of the executive secretary was done as far as he could go at that time. The roll of the teachers turned over to the secretary-treasurer, Miss Ellie A. Walls, was very incomplete and it took some time to straighten it out; but after laboring long and diligently at the task, the secretary was able to turn over to the executive secretary a very neat and complete roll. A further delay came because we thought it to be sound business to have bids submitted for the work that was to be done. Bids were asked for and received bids from four publishing concerns, as follows: The Housing Information Aid $14.00 per page, the Dallas Express bid $555.00, the ERA Publishing Company bid $475.00, and the Masonic Printing Company bid $280.00. The committee composed of Prof. F. M. B. was chairman of the executive committee, the executive secretary, and the president of the State Association, located the bidmitted by the Masonic Printing Company and awarded them the contract, but it is believed that more than the prospect for the greatest meet has the prospect for the association as very big, important and deliver an address on November Dr. Scott will speak to the teachers in the senate chamber of the capitol G.

One great man said recently that he did not “choose” to do a certain thing. Now the committees must “choose” to represent the black boys and girls of Texas and secure for them the same things educationally that Texas gives to the boys and girls of other races. Texas supports 15 institutions of higher learning for the other races and only one for Negroes. This ratio is too great. Texas is now ready to give the Negroes another institution of higher learning. The 40 years have expired. Our part of the income for the university has grown until it amounts to more than $2,000,000. Texas is ready.

JACKSON, M.D. Director Department of Public Health Howard University, Washington, D.C. (For the Associated Negro Press) From the statistical bulletin published by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, we get some rather significant food for thought. These facts are not very pleasant reading, but they are before us and in our next article we shall make comment. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company statistics show a decided trend upward between the years of 1912 and 1917 for white male industrial policyholders in mortality from syphilis. The peak reached in 1917 was followed by sharp drops in 1918 and 1919, after which there was no decided change up to and including 1922. In 1923 another decided increase occurred, followed by declines in 1924 and 1925. The same tendency was noted for white females during this 14-year period, the death rate for each year being about one-third that of the males. Among the colored males, the upbringing was much more pronounced than for the whites, and although the same declining tendency was shown for 1818 to 1840, the number of years subsequent to 1919 has been more marked, with the death rate higher. The improvement in the syphilis rate in 1917 is believed to be due to the movement to control venereal diseases, the training of soldiers among soldiers, sailors and civilians. After the war, state and municipal health services, the American public health service, and the American Social Hygiene Association have increased prevention before the public At By ALGERNON R. JACKSON, Director Department of Public Health, Howard University, Washington, D.C. (For The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia has already done Why not do it in your home type? Negro health club has been for to help a high-health and tuberculosis committee to conduct in maintaining the Negro clinics ducted by the council, the Hep Phipps Institute, the chest department of Jefferson Medical College and the Whittier center, under the name of the Negro bureau. These clients are so located throughout the city to make their services easily available During the year 1985 many thousands visited these clinics. The report shows 12,450 dispensary visits, 9,290 medical examinations and 18,629 home visits by nurses. It would be wonderful if figures could show how many lives have been prolonged and saved by these examinations. Visits and information are given. Each patient who visits of these clinics receives a thorough physical examination if needed, and advice from the examining physician. Where necessary, the visiting nurse goes to the home of the patient and instructs him how to properly care for himself. The other members of the family are also taught how to protect themselves from the disease and to build up their physical resistance. Philadelphia colored people have the right idea and if they persist in their efforts, they will be cut down. This is the only way to prevent the city from which demands a terrible toll every year. The cost of preventable deaths in Philadelphia overwhelming. Why not start a New York chapter? In our next article we shall tell you how Philadelphia did it. May you remember.

"Unspoiled" Africans' Have Wonderful Trait By DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON There have been so many agitations that we go back to Africa, that it were well if we really informed ourselves about Africa and its native nations, that the credulous ones among us not be imposed upon again. If we wanted to go to Africa we would find no place where we would as well as accepting Liberia, the Asyan nations seized and partitioned Africa long ago. They would consider us as bad material to spread propaganda among the native peoples. Again among the unruined-tribes there is scorn toward us. They would not people who unsubmit to the socialism of their own unguilders. There were African tribes who would drown or starve themselves rather than submit to slavery. Of course, these Africans suppose that their fathers too, were of this calibre. They do not feel that there is much in their own case which them crafts and in conduct they surpass the average Afro-American. You may enter an African assembly and there you will find the greatest deference to their elders. Such a thing can be for only to interrupt any other people, and even to their unskilled unseemly confusion of our gathering must have been learned from Aryans. There is no whispering or turning around, but quiet attentiveness to the speaker. This is true it is quite natural that they would not be inferior to people whom they would be less in ordinary matters of behavior. Africans have simpler codes of law on their own, but they are important. African books of laws are astounding for their ingenuity in getting results. In our civilization a small mailbox of them can cap a small mailbox of them. Africa, the magpie box and the criminal's family are held responsible for the punishment is swift and certain. Tribes frown on prolonged litigation. Africans are more honest than the Americans, leave bit vegetable wagon outside the town and go on and pass the night when he returns the next morning to treat with anything left upon our pathways, in the cases of cars, the body completely wrecked. In Africa body completely unmolested. Before going missing, arrying in the land of our forefathers, African books of laws are their traits.

When writing his (dyssey, had not an "a" in his first book, not a "b" in his second. In so doing he was but copying the Lipogrammatic lllad of Nestor Atheneus writes of an ode by Pindar in which the letter purposely omitted the letter "k" thereby leading us to surmise that this little hoax was one of the literary fashions of the day. A Persian poet once read to the celebrated Jani one of his own compositions with the letter Alif consistently omitted throughout Jani, who did not care for the sonnet, sarcastically made the following recommendation: "You can do a better thing yet, take away all the letters from every word you have written." Although the Greeks originated this ingenious literary device, its use was by no means exclusive with them. Lope de Vega, the celebrated Spanish dramatic poet of the Sixteenth century, Gregorio Lett, and at a much later day Lord North of the court of James I all employed this literary device and produced Lipogrammatic books.—Market for Exchange. Wrong Number Feminine logic was demonstrated in a phone call received by a started girl in a men's club, ment the other event to bear a feminized female voice denouncing: "I this you Jim." "I this you politely, 'You have the wrong number'." "Well, you big up, 'cause the other end in snup sconcections' "Well, you big up, 'cause I can get my party?' Of all the girls I ever saw—wave my, you prune it" and on so while the amused young girl in the club shouted, "Cleveland Plain Fine." Two White House "Fronts" There are two fronts to the Executive mansion. In the days when the White House was built, the mansion was built at homes, especially in the South were built with two "fronts" wherever it was possible to locate them near a river or a land front, and the land front, are found in many descriptions of colonial houses. In the mansion where the front is located, the floor covered much closer to the White house than it does today. The building was built in the early 19th century, a river front as well as a land front. Cloture and Closure Closure is a method of closing de- cline upon a subject in a declarative form. It is used when the subject is at a specified time. It was first in reduced in the British home of com- panies in 1882 and it was then called "closing." The French word later "cloose" become the more common name for this method of ending a closing sentence, but now there seems to be a tendency to go back to the French word "cloe" to have the same meaning - Patheline. Journalist Defined A good journalist is one who can win, the material for a narrative to marvel at. He must be able to tell what he can avoid it; who, is widely formed, but insists the limits of his knowledge, and who insists his opinions, but resembles in forming them; and who seeks to write to those who are not familiar with him, rather than insure their institution than their influence—Ladbroke Jnr. Getting Things Straight The sentence: "All men are born free and equal" is a quotation from the Bible that was framed in 1770. The complete sentence says: "All men are born free and equal." The word "essential," an essential, and unallatable right? Many people erroneously suppose the word "essential" in the Declaration of Independence. That document says "all men are free and equal."

C. — While the coroner's jury was trying to determine who killed Bradshaw, accusations of a 10-year old white girl, near here Sunday morning, those who composed the pose and the captions to the video were women and children, who had gathered to view the gruesome spectacle. The killing of Bradshaw by a possessor of a weapon brought to an end a three day man-hunt which had stirred three counties. Following the report of the assault, Bradshaw was taken to the home of the victim for identification, there were rumors of staging a neck-tie party and "giving the victim a thrash rampant, three officers led Bradshaw from the home toward the When the party had gone a short time before and knowing that the guard was insufficient to protect him, asked permission to pray. Upon receiving the prayer he gained his objective and for three hours whereabouts, with the aid of fox dogs, he climbed the hill top firing the woods, three shreds were fired and he pitched fire. Thus, another lynching is added to North Carolina's record, two inquests, conversations centered around the efficiency of the hounds more than around the tragedy of the attack, and another human being being had lynched meant little to those who felt jokes were passed around freely, as an expression of the opinion that the shock had caused the death, instead of the torture, of the victim, who fired the shots, however, could be acquainted and the inquest When the report of the lynching reached the neighboring town, hungering for blood, the scene of the killing and pictures of the dead body were taken. Among them, some having been brought by their parents and others by ministers of the gosse, who were perhaps using them as a means of the admonition, the efficacy of the admonition, the way of the transgression is hard to assess when they grow up will be as acute as their forbears in mating with Negroes who transgress.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—GOES GREAT PROMISES. 1. David Desires to Build a House for God (vv. 1, 2). Having subdued all his enemies, David sat down in his new and beautiful house to meditate. While thus ensuing, he is led to see the Incongruity of dwelling in a house of cedar while the Lord's place was so common. A truly devout soul cannot be content to dwell in personal ease and luxury while the Lord's work is neglected. David's proposition met with Nathan's approval, but the next day he came with definite instructions from the Lord regarding it. 11. David's Desire Denied (vv. 3-8). While fully appreciating David's motive, the Lord disapproved his plan. The rejection of his plan was not because of his nonappreciation of David. For He had taken him from the lowest walks of life and elevated him to the highest place among men. He assured him also that the cause would not suffer because of this change of plan. Two reasons may be assigned for God's prohibition of David's plan. 1. David was a man of war (1 Chron 28: 28). Since the kingdom of God is to be a peaceful kingdom, it was not fit to that man a king. That man was not a reach of David for being not a reach of David for being not a war. The enemies of the Lord must of necessity be put down. No peace must be made. That man was not a reach of the ensembles were subdued. It showed, rather that David had done his work and that the time had now come for 2. The time and circumstances were not fully ripe. God himself was a great house, that would require a man's best energies to build it. The nation's treasury was no doubt depleted by the warz.

HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1927 COOLIDGE AND G. O. P. NOMINATION In discussing, in last week's issue, President Coolidge's lactic statement about not "choosing" to run for the presidency in 1928. The Informer ventured the assertion that the chief executive of the republic was merely "passing the buck" to Republican leaders and testing his strength with party bosses and slate-makers as to their reaction to the third-term bogey, and to ascertain just how he (President Coolidge) stood with party leaders concerning his renomination and reelection. Hardly before the ink was dry on last week's editorial discussing this matter, the president was visited by a group of party leaders at the summer White House in the South Dakota hills, and overtures and representations made to him that he is the logical candidate for the Republican party and the nation in 1928. In discussing this visit and conference of these Republican party leaders and high officials with Mr. Coolidge, newspaper disclosures and representations made to the president was urged by the delegation to remain available for the convention, being assured that he—and only he—can carry the G.O.P. to victory in 1928 and safeguard and assure the continuation of the present era of economic stability and national prosperity. In our feeble judgment (if we can understand the English language, or even the so-called Yankee language—this editor was taught by Yankee teachers for 1912 and 1987 to be able to understand some of their lingo), the president did not state that he would not be a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America in 1928, but he merely asserted or wrote that "I do not choose to run for the presidency in 1928." Why, such a statement is as plain as the nose on one's face, and was not the emphatic assertion that the president will not be a candidate for the presidency in 1928. The party leaders and bosses fear that, with Mr. Coolidge out of the runnig and race, the field will be open to "favorite sons" and other aspirants and that some "dark horse" might enter the White House as a result of such a campaign—as was done in 1920 when Governor Frank O. Lowden and General Leonard Wood were the contending aspirants for Republican nomination for the presidency, and Warren G. Harding was nominated and elected. Furthermore, these party bosses and political leaders seem to believe that a change in titular head just now will wreak havoc to the cause of the party, as if all the presidential brains are located in the cranium of the present occupant of the White House. Coolidge non pre-Coolidge, as such; but this paper does not hold in the view that If Mr. Coolidge does not run as a Republican presidential nominee next year, either the party or the country will go to the "denmition bow-wows." Mr. Coolidge has made a safe, sane and sensible leader, yet there is nothing remarkable about him except his political astuteness, at which he is a master. He carried to the presidential chair quite a bit of the proverbial "Coolidge luck," and the party bosses and leaders are not so much for Mr. Coolidge as they are for themselves; and the president, if he finally "chooses" to run in 1928, will merely be aiding and abetting the cause of the G. O. P. chiktains—national and sectional—who see in and through Mr. Coolidge's retention of power to further entrench themselves in partisan and political power. It is all politics pure and simple, and it will not surprise The Informer to see these politicians literally draft or conscript President Coolidge in 1928, even if the chief magistrate of the republic does not "choose" to run for the office again. DEFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM A recent educational survey made in this state reveals the fact that, in many locales, colored and Mexican children are not being given a square and fair deal along educational lines, when it comes to facilities, facilities terms, etc. The survey also dislays the fact that of the colored rural teachers, though receiving a salary much smaller than the white teachers engaged in the same work, excelled the white teachers in ability and length of service. Coming to the cities the reverse was true as to ability and teaching experience, which leads one to conclude that colored teachers stay on the job longer in the rural districts than they do in the city. However, the report reveals the fact that the drift of rural teachers is citywards, where better salaries are paid, more adequate facilities prevail and many other conditions obtain which tend to lure these teachers from the country sections to the cities. The survey states that "one of the educational problems that the people of Texas face, is that of improving the teaching services in the city, and is entitled to as good teaching service as the child in the city. Practically, it will not be easy to bring this end about." The Houston Informer The survey pays the colored teachers a tribute when it says: The survey pays the colored teachers a tribute when it says: "In the matter of high school training, the showing is not so good for colored as for white teachers, but in college training, if the figures are taken at their face value, the situation is reversed. That is a white teacher," said the report, as indicated by these reports, the training of the Negro teachers compares very favorably with that of white teachers." Going a bit further, the report says: "The average salary of Negro teachers is about 35 per cent below that of white teachers. There can be little doubt that better salaries for colored teachers would attract qualified persons for the service of the colored schools." The report also looks with disfavor upon the "slavish following of a uniform text in a state the size of Texas," stating that such a procedure "would be unfortunate." This survey, made by school experts, shows the defects in our educational system in Texas, as it relates to our public schools and the quality of education, education, if there **"IDLEWILF"** It is cooler here and wild. It is one of the livest and busiest resorts of recreation and pleasure in the United States, and of the people who live there. It is one of the best classes of people from all over the country. But Idlewilf has a monotone work of everyday life, and a place to see a bit of wild animals and monotone work of everyday living. The resort is located twenty-five miles north of Grand Rapids. No one who has not seen Idlewilf can have an idea of it; we had heard only good reports on wild animals there, therefore, instead we be disappointed. Instead, we were surprised. No one who has seen Idlewilf could do it justice. There are more than 800 cottages穿透ed through the woods. One runs across a new cottage at every turn of winding roads. There are many wild growth of forest and underbrush. These resort residences are worth all the money. Over 17,000 labs have been sold and decided in these charming woods, and in these beautiful gardens, buyers number 6,000 and are scattered all over the foreign countries. Over half a hundred families remain on the resort and the resort community people come and go between April 1, 2000 and August 1, 2000 present on the first of August, but learned that the great crowds How can one convey an idea of this resort? Perhaps the beat way, for those who cannot go, will be to have an Idlewild moving picture. The management seems to have been the first of the conclusion and the first days of August, the Chicago Daily News, screen service was engaged and an operator was sent up to film the pageant, the "Bathing Beauties Contest," the chautauqua gatherings, the boating, swimming, playing, hiking, the tubing and a very-making; also the coffee club, how long would other other structures as well as the natural scenery. These films will be available for motion picture theatres that cater to colored folk throughout the world, and the patrons of movies should ask the management of their maters to show them. "Idlewild." This great picture should be the best of racial propaganda in addition to being a thing of beauty and pleasure. As someone remarked, Idlewild could invite and welcome the president of the United States without fear or embarrassment. Coolidge could find in the beautiful streams that the head is the good trouth as he could find anywhere, and perhaps much fewer "suckers." The Idlewild chautauqua has been inaugurated within the last two years. This chautauqua, lasting for one week following the week of pageants, will add intellectual recreation to physical recreation. At present the chautauqua is being arranged by the main in the country for the job—the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Bradby. Detroit All this has come to pass in twelve weeks, and the sales at the Lincoln pub in Chicago, the genius behind the idea was, and the Lemon, 9, South Dearborn State Park, 10, South Bend, has been large in projecting and developing summer resorts for white men, he is, he conceived the idea that the same thing would be good for colored men, and they are them. Today he contends that Idlewild surpasses his best dreams and a then product of his efforts than he has ever done, and has sponsored for white Americans. During one of the chauqueyas session, Bradley asked for a show of hands as he called the roll of states. Many of the men answered the roll call—the greatest numbers of hands being shown for white men, and Texas as far east as New Orleans and Nebraska; as far south as Kansas and Nebraska; as far south as Texas as far east as North America; and thence to Idlewild. But the resort can be driven by railroad, We will write another article on weild and tell of some of the things that we do here, a truly national and international slay, a culture and culture center for colored people, and culture centers for other races, who may wish to accompany Near one end of the great lake at the base of the island, "entirely surrounded by water," the mainland by two bridges on oceansides. On this island are the three islands, one large hotel; one served to the public, and where each one serves very few, three fulties; one great hotel; the Purple Island, one great hotel; the Purple Island, one great hotel; which furnished an arrangement for extra large dresses and a furnishings electric lights and which furnished playgrounds of the great resort, and scores of small cabins for rest to the season. "The Island" is at present the head and center of Idlewild. A well-known tourist attraction, it is developing some miles away at "The Terraces" on a beautiful trout stream. The chaundaqu and most of the great gatherings take place on "The Island." The bathing beauty contest includes a 40-foot, 4b, and Miss Marce Wearer, of 812 Chestnut Street, Trouton, Ohio, was named the winner of the judges, of the assembled people for "Miss Milwaukee of 1927. Her brown skin, and her simple, unaffected manners would, in a fair judgment, make her a winner at Atlantic City. She is a beautiful woman." WHO "HIDES CRIMINALS"? By WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press). At least in Los Angeles it seems that the colored people are not the ones who are trying to "hide Negro criminals," but the whites. Even the officers of the law, are trying to shield a colored man from punching him. The police chief of a heavily charged with murder and perjury. A Los Angeles Negro detective who was shot in the chest of a no-liquor "louder" road, where its no liquor was found. Then it is discovered that the officer who accompanied him in the raid, framed a defense by planting a bomb in the car, like two nounds before the grenade. Whether these charges are not alright or not, one thing is still clear: That the Negroes not "conceal" the nounds. The man who is leading the nounds is Dr. Claude Hudson, president of the Los Angeles N. A. A. C. A. p. a. man. The man who is trying to protect the officer who did the apprehension of police of Los Angeles, who, it is charged, had the rite of the police of Los Angeles, who, it is evidence" against the dead man in order to frame the matter and save The chief of police is so interested in the matter that some time ago he sent a letter to the writer of this editorial setting forth claims which would tend to justify the killing and indicating that Dr. Hudson was on the wrong track. We wrote Police Chief Davis that if the statements made in his letter to us were facts, then the killing would be justified, as self-defense, by the officers. But now the indictment and trial on which Dr. Hudson insisted, have brought out facts which led toward the opposite conclusion and gravely challenge the conduct of Los Angeles police department. Hudson is thus rendering a service not only to colored people but to the white people of Los Angeles as well, and he ought to have the backing of the entire citizenship until the whole matter is cleared up, and until Officer Sheffield is either acquitted or hanged—if they hang people in California. BOMB IN THE SUBWAY By WILLIAM PICKENS We wonder who put that tube of black powder and dynamite in the tunnel between the office and Brooke's car, and that sure any of the employees who were about to go on a strike, put it on. We do not inert to charge anybody with this deed, but we do inert to exercise our free-born American well. "Just suppose" somebody "planted" that bomb to help create feeling against the strike. "Something somebody wanted to get public sentiment relief to the workers, what better way than to make the innocent public think that the striking employees are responsible for damage the property of the car company but would even take the lives of passengers and other innocent people." Did you notice that the bomb was "found" by one of the local employees when the attacker struck he had been ayered? And did you notice that the informal thing you would really explode, anyhow? The easiest thing about a bomb is to fix it yourself. You can hardly believe that the one who placed it hardly believed that the person who placed it could either it was placed on the cause of the strikes, or if anyone must have intended only to frighten passengers off the subway lines, for was certainly set so as not to go out. But it is difficult to conclude that regular men would even plant explosives on the subway so they help their causes to fail. Who put that who there ends? INSULTING A RACE. (By KELLY MILLER, Howard Unive Henry Ford, the wizard of business gen the Jewish race through serious accusation born Independent which he owns and contends to be the first of the world's most greatest journalistic feat of modern time ture of our day evoked such wide spread of the world as a new world. It himself to launch such an assault upon a business world is hard to understand. Who is the world? It is the world of business and of the world, the attack seems to be probable that Mr. Ford has any inherent imped by the fact that he has been inspired to be the attack could not have been inspired by learning the algorithm of the inside of the world's capital of the world. For he's a person's ability to be more de序, the civilization, the of civilization is, on the whole, fewer. It is whispered that the greatest is the sharp business assign by the world, and the world is the most which we are wont to ascribe to the wizard that the one of the world is whom we want to ascribe to the wizard The whole Jewish race throughout the world was a common result. It is the most well-known in wantonly assailing or act. An ugly epithet or an opprobious and when one insults another, he always excesses the world's value and considered a coward. It is the first step in the first step to which any man will power. No good is to be used in the human world. It is the most important to affirm a humanism in his own self-care and to one's fellow man, without any unmanly as human nature is capable of be used in the world. It is the most when the opprobrium is so widely distributed been personal integrity, Elmand Burke say nation. But even so, we find that organization progressed in the time of war and war with the end of the war. This could be a part of that class. This ought to make upon any aggregate of people with whom he was a person who was the most licists are perhaps the greatest sinners of an epithet or an insulting designation is an event in which he was the most only rashness of temper but poverty of mind because your adversary than it is to prove his sings of the world is so far too long to hasty resort to denunciation is due also in does not possess the inherent restraint of de sion to the person who is the most well-known in the world. The fact we will not be resorted to by reason of the sl in lawless language. The first point is to notice what and publicists indulge in insulting reference Democratic party, the South, the church, the state, the state of the country, the of some real or fancied failure to meet the expectations. The futility of the procedure put. They feel secure in their merely penalty. In the Ford incident, the Jews have t seen the first time in the world, and the sings of the world are not clearborn. Independent the world, Jews accepted the challenge. The United States were not the only effective machinery to resent it. Just what permitted to know, but suffice it to say that the world is not the only one of the apology. He acknowledges that he has done an apology is the simplest amend that can be made by the world. It is the most wounded spirit. And yet, Mr. Ford has reparable wrong. It may be so; but maybe the amende honor him by the compelling force of circumstances that he has been so well known as the country. Hereafter it will make every respect about insulting a whole race of people. It is the most important to be made by the world to keep it up. It would take advantage of his public influence Let us hope that the white publicists will be more than the other people who are going to the world. Such insinuations and that the race "cannot be entrusted with the world" to the world. The world is very important to the world. The The Negro being the victim of racial imped by the world is the practice of the world. The world is the most clear and despite. Such terms as "dago," "when applied to races and classes if we do not win the world" and "when the world is the most the philosophy which I have learned from (By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) Did he reach this conclusion by the inner promptings of his own goodness? It may be so; but maybe the amended honorable was suggested or dictated to be made by the other. It was the result of the thought that he was not wounded race had brought about. However this may be, the lesson is salutary. Hereafter it will make every responsible authority more cautious about limiting the need for the action of the people. It is a deft of gratitude by holding to just accountability the man who would take advantage of his public influence to malign their race and blood. In us hope that the white publicists will take heed in dealing with the Nessus of the world. It is the best way to make the good and good things that age the colored race. Such insinuations as "all Negroes will lie, steal, and that the race "cannot be entrusted with serious tasks," hurts the prospects that the number of the brandless members of the country will be more so to resent and resist all such expressions from whatever source they may emanate. The weaker group is dependent upon its reputation. Woman's reputation is the most important one to find because she is a victim who even- The individual becomes more dependent upon the good name of the group in proportion to the strength and independence of the aggregation to which he belongs. To deny virtue of womanhood is a reflection upon every point of the development of the other, sister or daughter will resent, even if the insulted sex is unable to do so. The Negro being the victim of racial insult might, therefore, be more careful about indulging in the practice which will be the best way to make the most important one to deal with. The group held in general despities. Such terms as "dago," "eheeny" and "cracker," should not be applied to races and classes if we do not wish to be referred to as "niggers." In the case of the black man, the group has the power to make the philosophy which I have learned from the books—"Politeness is the cheapest thing in the world and pays the best." Henry Ford has learned and taught the world a salutary lesson. We thank thee, Jew, for teaching him the most important part of the world. (Dunn, et al., Houston, Texas, July 24, 1927.) NEGRO LEADERS AND "REDS" For the California Negro Negro Association, concerned alleged "red" propaganda among American Negroes from Moscow in several leading dailies of the country, the statements made recently by lending Negroes on the question of civil union movement ought to be of general public interest. These statements, which were sent to the writer in response to a questionnaire sent out by him, show that Negro leaders at least, are theoretically sympathetic to the race, and in many cases is nothing, however, in these statements to indicate that Negro leaders seem to show that the so-called lenders of the race are quite safe and labor. For all this, however there is a trend of liberalism in these Among those whose statements will be made public shortly are Dr. W. W. C.

People should take pride in having Negro children should be taught the value of the newspapers that are published by members of their race. People should have newspapers made vast strides in superior to most class publications, both as to physical appearance and editorial content. Many of them compare favor with the daily publications. They are often called newspapers because the press has reached the point where it reflects credit upon those whom it colored newspapers are not perfect. Perhaps they contain things that ought not to have been published or neglect certain events that should have been stressed, but in what other newspapers can you find more news about the lives of other newspapers champion as effectively the rights of colored Americans?
