ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PH PYTHIANS CHOOSE INDIANAPOLIS Green Opposes Dallas, Raps Dixie Whites VOLUME IX PYTH Green The Mirror BY C. F. RICHARDSON SUPREME LODGE ENDED Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21, 1927—The twenty-fourth biennial supreme lodge of the Colored Knight of Palatines of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia ended in this city yesterday, the most interesting event of the meeting being the selection of the next convention city. The contest was between Dallas and Indianapolis, with the addition of up behind the Hoosier State capital-metroplans, resulting in Dallas losing the battle by a score of 6-7. Egger read the scores from a football tilt, and it was a stellar and bactic tilt, with politics We have often wondered why the "North America, South America," etc., and we expected to behold such countries, from European, Asian, African and Australian countries; but we also represented appearances from these countries, nor did the call show any such representation. The pythians retain all that appellation name), when they were the persecutive Mesoamerican countries are too "far South" for the supreme chancellor feels that the time is not right for the other countries either of the western or eastern hemispheres. The supreme lodge is rather droll and drub, and devotes considerable time to the discussion of the matter. The leaders do not seem to have any program, other than to perpetuate the act and act otherwise. For instance, the supreme lodge was an effort at foresight or oratory, and not one single suggestion or objection to the act of touching upon the health and mortality of the members of the order. The members of the Fourth Estate, (newspaper) have been very kind and generous to us, according to Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Express and the News, who said, "The news is very well-惜的, and the country says that one journalist could accord another. At the Chicago Defender, Lucius C. Harper, managing editor; Dewey R. Jones, editorial writer; Clarence Coleman, Jr., staff correspondent; Managing Editor William C. Parrish, the Chicago Bee and Editors Joseph Bibb, Patrick B. Prescott and E. D. ("Don") Pierson of the Chicago Whip, showed us every consideration and courtesy imaginable. Chicago really has a fine group of race-winners, and the group of the Chicago Bee, "what it's all about." Also C. A. Barnett, N. D. Brascher and Mr. Prattis of the Associated Negro Press, rendered us every possible assistance. We were the dinner guests of J. E. Stamps, agency director of the Victory Life Insurance Company, eating a very palatable meal at a swell cafe owned and operated by a former black resident of Alabama. His race-maker, John W. Rice, was a young man, years and, when he decided to try his luck at running an eating house, asked for a 60-day leave of absence, and his business has grown so that he never went back to his erstwhile job. His first job was at the game with a homer and his food is the best of its kind we have ever eaten in the Windy City. Before carrying us to dinner, Mr. Stamps had us as his guests at Comiskey Park, where we saw "Bate Ruth break out" and the game was over. He was not in the park into the left field stands. Jesse O. Thomas, Atlanta, Ga., well-known Urban League worker, was also a member of our party at the park. After dinner Mr. Stamps was from the home of Mr. C. Harlow, who would always have beautiful driveways and through the loop (business) district. As L. B. Kinchion, Belton, vice-grand chancellor of the Texas Pythians said at the hotel the other night, when discussion drifted to May-衡, when the game was over, he was in a mighty big place; if you don't believe it, just leave this hotel and try to walk to the loop. Speaking of Mayor Thompson reminds me of the fact that Colonel Robbins, summits, who was one of "Big Six" mayoral candidates, the last mayorally campaign, has been rewarded with $5,000-per-year funding. The mayoral constitution having been created for the matchless orator and noted leader of the city, Whip has a $5,000 city hall post. The colonel has been mighty fine to the entire Texas delegation. Even when he was a candidate against Texas as host to the 1920 biannual supreme lodge and urged all of its members to apply to theapolis, Colonel Simmons, who is supreme lecturer, on a floor at roll call and registered his vote for Dallas, Texas. We also had dinner one evening with Robbins, summits, who was a beautiful and W. Wren, who has a beautiful and THE HOUSTON INFORMER "HEALTH THE ONLY PLATFORM UPON WHICH BOTH RACES STAND," DECLARES DR. A. B .JACKSON (By Staff Correspondent of the Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich.—Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, director of the department of public health, Howard University, threw a veritable bombshell into the Tuesday evening meeting of the National Medical Association, when he declared that "the present-day efforts toward effecting an interracial adjustment and understanding in America are about as helpless, hopeless and chaotic as the proverbial blind black man searching in a dark room for a black hat, which is not there." It was the opinion of this prominent physician that "health is the one platform upon which white and black Americans can stand hand in hand as brethren, working toward a common good, a common service, which will build a greater white race, a greater Negro race, and a greater America." Dr. Jackson was the principal be of a national character in its application of the Tuesday evening session of the National Medical Association, which opened here Monday, with more than three hundred patients present from dentists and pharmacists present from all parts of the country. From this opening session, when Dr. Carl G. Roberts, national president, took the gavel, it was evident that the Detroit man, a white American, had no health and health rate simply because he is a Negro, but he is a victim of that lack of interracial Must Be An Increase In Births Health conditions were explained by Dr. Jackson, who has made a special comparison of the mortality rate of the colored and white people as outliers. "The Negroes were dying too rapidly," Dr. Jackson, "and we must increase our population, for population means and the more acutely our power, make us more powerful." States, the more earnestly the white man is going to work for an adjustment, I say, we cannot build with untempered power, poor health or a high death rate." The question, health? "Why are colored or national rather than racial. The remedy, therefore, must Refugee Camps Yet Being Aided This is Sunday morning, and we are here to welcome the students lines off in time for insertion in the current issue. Our Texas delegation has been reduced considerably, leaving only a few students and wife at Hotel Trever. We will be visiting Detroit, Mich., for a brief stay and probably attend a session or two of the Baptist Sunday School Convention, having been tendered a delegationship to the University of "Howeville Houston" by the week. America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1927 be of a national character in its application rather than racial. The Negro has made for himself an unenviluable reputation for being unhealthy, and it has been a great measure, he is himself to blame for this, but the entire fault is not his. The Negro is not a victim of ill health and high death rate among Negroes, but it is a victim of that lack of interracial cooperation and indigenous American life and culture. After pointing out how the ill health of one group affects the health of another, Dr. Jackson declared: "If the Negro expects to work in the opp and maintain that physical stamina which will give birth to enthusiasm on other issue, but they must work on every other issue, but they must work together in the matter developing within this nation better physical, mental, and social want to save themselves and America. No nation or people can build for themselves a useful service to mankind, if in spite of their insistence upon build with uninterrupted morat." 13 isiana. Three hundred and twenty-nine nurses have served during the flood and fifty-four are still on duty in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, where they are continuing the supervision of health work. They have worked approximately 165,500 acres of agricultural lands as follows: Arkansas, 10,000 acres; Illinois, 8,460 acres; Arkansas, 180,100 acres; and Mississippi, 21,000. To date 217,075 acres have been rebuilt. According to the report, the maximum number of people cared for by the Red Cross was 607,236.

Negro Film Stars Will Be Featured (By The Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Ohio.—The Eureka Film Corporation is the latest addition to the ranks of motion picture producers. The company will specialize in the making of high class photoplays, using in the leading and principal parts Negro actors and actresses. Their earliest efforts will be devoted to the making of Western plays. In these thrilling and stirring characterizations they will have the services of two Negro cowboys, who excel any of the present screen stars in horsemanship and western tactics. It is the purpose to surround these two men with an able and efficient group of white actors, and by degrees through the medium of a school for development, establish an entire company of Negroes for the purpose of future production. A site near Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been secured upon which they are selected because of its site setting for the making of Western photoplays. Later it is proposed to establish a studio at Cincinnati, where a full line of melodramatic and comedy pictures will be produced. The entire staff of the Eureka Film Corporation is made up of men thoroughly versed in all branches of the industry and productions equalling the best offerings now available will be produced and distributed. The financing of the company's affairs is being done by H. R. George & Company of New York. It was obtained by the painstaking investigation that Mr. George agreed to undertake this task, and his acceptance is equivalent to a guarantee for success. "Throw 'Em Out Far" Says Pickens; Lodge Officers Should Change Often (For The Associated Negro Press) So far, in the United States government we have held to the tradition of two terms, only for one man as president—and—we have counted even a part of a term as a term—as in the case of Roosevelt, and as seems likely in the case of Coolidge. We would not even give Roosevelt a "third" term, even though he would not have been succeeding himself, but would have been succeeding Taft. But it must be confessed that Roosevelt would have been elected for this third term if he had been able to oust Taft in the convention and had got the regular nomination of his party, instead of being elected to the House of Representatives and independent party. Personally, the writer has never seen any evil in a third term, if the candidate were not "succeeding himself" for the third term; that is, if another administration has intervened between his second and his proposed third term. The intervening administration would not be the same as the proposed possible a check-up on official honesty. The ancients were wise about that: some ancient states made it impossible for the chief executive ever to succeed himself, even once. He could be a candidate and be elected for every second term, if he wanted, and might hold the office any number of times, and he would never be允和 only he were never elected for two terms in succession. This enabled the succeeding administration to check up on the foregoing, and so helped to keep down corruption and malfeasance in office. The ancients knew, as we know, that a powerful official can hardly be punished for any crime so严重 as to be处决. There was punished as a private citizen and by his successor in office. Who today would punish the president of the Booze and Wife Freed of Murder (By The Associated Press) Rosedale, Miss.—“Case dismissed for lack of evidence” was the brief decision of Justice of Peace Robert Arnold, sitting in the county court here today, in disposing of the new celebrated poison-murder case involving Mrs. Mary C. Booze of Mount Bayou, national committeewoman for the people, and Mr. B. B. Booze, political power, big planter and member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, who had been charged, together with 27 year old Postmaster C. V. Thurmond and his wife, Beazel, who will be on Beazel in New York, 38 year old, and Beazel in the murder graduate, with complicity in the murder of Isaiah T. Montgomery, famous founder of Mound Bayo, the “all Negro city,” an intimate of Booker T. Washington and a former slave of the brother of Jefferson Davis of Rebekah, who was a son of the father of the first ten day ago as a result of afidavits filed by Estelle Montgomery, one of the three living sisters of Mrs. Booze, and S. H. Branch, a colored detective from Little Rock, who had “worked up” the case. The decision was rendered within two minutes after the court's decision. The court's Attorney John T. Smith of Cleveland, Mississippi, had arisen and notified the court that he had gone over the evidence and found it insufficient to “travel on.” He, therefore, with the consent of County Prosecutor Fred Clark asked that the defendants be given a chance to file their case. Wide interest had been developed in the case which startled the entire country when the charges were filed last week. The arrests took place on Thursday. Each of the defendants gave bond in the sum of $1,000 and denied ever hearing before any intimation that the aged Montgomery, the father of the 1st-year-old, who had come to his death March, 1924, had come to his death from other than natural causes. Citizens of Mound Bayou attributed the charges to the bitter fight which he has renamed the mansion, the "Dick Kent," widely known pool room, baseball and taxi-car owner in "Dick Kent," a former P. Boose, administrator of her father's estate. Intense feeling in which opinion has been sharply divided, with partitions on both sides, has manifested Boose with looting the estate and permit-making much of it. Originally it was estimated to be worth $150,000, but is now worth $100,000. Mint Montgomery, and Detective Branch still insist that their story is true and content that the failure of the police to front on the part of the doctor who attended Mr. Montgomery. She is in Mound Bayou who has her activity. United States, if he should commit any crime? He might be impacched and put out of office, but even that would not be stitutionally permissible. Who could punish King George? Even the Georgia is only a mere heirarch, it would not be able to revolution to reach him. That brings us to our lodge organizations: the number of times that the king ought to be constitutionally limited—albeit he might be allowed to hold the office of president—the number of times. But when he is in office and is a candidate, he is hardly "beautiful." He has the "insidest track" to succeed. This would effectually prevent the all-too-well-known nuisance of having a lodge officer, re-elected for several lodge officers, are sure to come to feel, and women are sure to see if the lodge is a private personal lodge, or are going to be definitely and constitutionally put out at the end of, say, five years back. If they can, then it will promote their virtue; for while they to make the people who act in a way they into office again. They will know that if they do not "behave," they will break in from the outside again. Rotation in office, especially in the highest executive office, is the only way to throw 'em out far, and let 'em throw back to back. It will do it. ties are being financed by white political enemies of Mr. Booze, in order to embarrass him and his wife. Mr. Boozes, in a statement, said that he regretted the case had not been closed. He said that might have been filed could have been refuted in open court. "This is a disastrity to beamirch my repressor wife," he said. He attributed the inclusion of Mayor Green, Postmaster General, to his intimidate his friends, but said that he felt only sorry for his sister-in-law. He has regarded as misguided, Mrs. Boozes, among serious letters and offers of assistance from political friends of prominence, among them being Hon. Wm.

Special to the Informer. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 23, 1927—Showing the fighting spirit so characteristic of Texans of both races, the Pythian delegation from the Lone Star State waged a hectic battle here last Saturday to capture the 1929 biennial supreme lodge of Colored Knights of Pythia of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. When the balloting ceased, it was disclosed that Dallas, Texas, and New Orleans, Indiana—trouted out at the last moment at the chest and importunity of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, Ill., who took the floor and waged a most bitter fight and conducted the most demagogic tirade against Texas and the South ever heard in any colored gathering in the history of the United States of America—came out as leader with 56 wites. Delegates from Northern and Southern states, even some on the winning side, asserted that it was an empty victory for the Green faction, and that the injection of sectionalism into the supreme lodge had been a factor. Witnesses as the last of the invasions in the invitation from the Pythian grand lodge of Texas, the Lone Star State and city of Dallas, Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis, of Dallas demonstrated the fact that he was on the job, while Dr. A. S. Jackson of Waco, commissioner of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and member of the Supreme Chancellor, presented the answer to the New Orleansian's tirade and invective against the best white and colored citizen of the South. Green took the position that he was unalterably opposed to the Supreme Pythian lodge meeting in the South as long as segregation, jim-crowism, discrimination and disfranchisement obtain in first section of the lodge. He answered that the next biennial meeting should not be held at Dallas in 1929. Special to The Informer.

Green Fears Willis, Rumor The report is current in this city that Green opposed holding the 1922 supreme Judge in Dallas, Texas, he said. He said a candidate against him; and that with the wonderful showings which he made at such convention, Williams stock (in event the masterly Texas man against green) would be boosted considerably. The knowing ones here have been made by the Pythians of Texas under Willis' leadership has made both the supreme chancellor and some of the jealous and suspicions of the redoubtable Texas; and that Green and his supporters when it appeared that Dallas, Texas, has the next supreme judge literally Green's Wife Insults Texans Prior to the election and Green's vehement denunciation of Texas and the ensuing arrest, he was assured the Texas delegation, but when Green made his speech and represented to a viva vote, he cried "cold" and jumped into the Green Tidrington band wagon.

Women from other Dixie states took exception to this "roasting" of the South by the supreme chancellor's wife and the argument precipitated such a scene that the New Orleans, La., woman was forced to offer excuses, apologies and explanations. In her opening remarks Mrs. Green was quoted as saying, "Any person who fights my man (talking about her husband, S. W. Green of the 'far South," New Orleans, La.) will die." The nomination of Dallas, Texas, as 1929 convention city was seconded by delegates from Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri, and Tennessee, while Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi joined the anti-South faction; their delegates saying some things about the South, which if repeated in their Southern home towns would make them persona non grata among both colored and white citizens of their respective communities and states. The publicity and propaganda work of the invitation-handgivers continues. Dr. R. T. Hamilton, of the leading physicians of his state and grand dauphin der Texas, John W. Rice, editor of the booker T.

This is the impression gained from the announcement that Winfried Tete-Anca of Aacra, has just concluded the preliminary study of New York banking interests. According to an account in the New York World, this arrangement hides the ending of a patriotic quest which has been the focus of London, and finally to New York. In negotiating the loan, the gentleman from the Gold Coast has been opposed by African and British Trade two of the five largest corporations, Ltd., which is allied to two of the five big British banks; Lloyds and the Westminster, and is representing the paramount chiefs of the Gold Coast. He has studied co-operatives in England and plans to establish a $1,000,000 co-operative company. The World quotes him as follows: "I'm taking a white staff back with me, a white bank manager and accountants. I'll need Americans, because a good part of the bank's business is in the Americas. We don't use any New York Negroes. You see, while I haven't been in New York very long, I've got the impression Negroes over here haven't much business training and experience. There are a few insurance brokers or real estate brokers, but no one who seems to have an grasp of sound business. Mr. Tete-Ansa seems to regard the matter differently from some of his predecessors in the attempt to divert the flow of African coffee.

It is not known whether Mr. Ali has ever foraken his efforts which were calculated to employ the money of the richest man of America. For a long time, he did not meet with success. According to British government reports, 88% of the world's cocoa comes from the Gold Coast of Africa. The United States except by way of London. Of it is handled by the African and Eastern, which, with its subsidiaries, fix the price of cocoa on the Gold Coast, and fixes it far below the price level. Mr. Tete-Anna explains "A man brings his cocoa in to a company trading post on his head, sometimes travelling forty miles to the factory. The factor offers him a price on his cocoa. He may think it is too low, but unless he wants to carry the cocoa back forty miles again, he accords him a price. The trader usually doesn't want cash for his cocoa. He wants kitchen utensils, flour, gavy printed cotton goods, haberdashery and agricultural implements. The company sells them these things, Tete-Anna declares, "We want you to buy Mr. Tete-Anna now proposes that the cheftains and their subjects shall be Europe or America, the direct to Europe or America, there for the manufactured goods.

Letters and telegrams galore from Dallas and Texas, with not a single point of interest, and a diana (the stronghold of the invisible empire) being presented, could not undo the prejudicial work engineered by the city and South clique. As a result of the position from the Southern states (particularly Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi), the core of the Chicago should be considerably increased within the next year or two by these emigrants and other of their families; for if their children, and the new, have been so utilized as Green and his Dixie-League asserted in public declarations here last week, they (Green et al.) are remain in the South and be consistent, or even maintain their self-respect.

But was a common congregation long before the modern types of headwear were fashioned. In the days of knights in arm, when a man traveled incolegio under all his hats, he was forced to remove the iron headwear in the presence of a lady so that she might see his face.

The artist was at the seashore working at a sketch, when he noticed an old fisherman who seemed to have no luck, but just constantly fished all day long rebafting his hook at intervals.

The Remington Bookkeeping and billing machine is used, manipulated by a younster, Edgar D. Saunders of West Virginia, an expert and a wizard at handling the intricacies of this expensive machine. Mr. Coage, who is the second deputy under Arthur G. Frohe, the recorder of deeds, has patented his system, which includes the ledger and day book.

Cullen came into the pockets of the motives which impel him to song, write I do, and sheel love the music in them. Somehow or other, he has been treated by the treating of the Negro of his joys, and his sorrows—mostly of the latter, and of emotion which I feel." ALL SPECIAL 5 P. M. GALVESTON 2:30 P. M.

Both celebrities were accorded a deafening welcome when they strode upon the platform of the Booker T. Washington High School. Mr. Church, who rarely ever speaks on public occasions of this sort, was immaculately dressed, and responding to the cheers of his fellow townsmen, pledged his aid in any way possible to make their voice effective election day. He said that the aspirations of our people would be finally realized only by the intelligent use of the ballot. Mr. Simmons made a characteristic Memphis which he called the citizens of Mennonah, the leaders of Bob Church. He resented the report he made, which he called the "mistreatment" he now lives in Chicago, which was born in Mississippi, and glory in Mississippi, which he had only two years of experience. Speaking of Bob Church, whom he knew only very well, he instituted do his bidding, he said: "He knocked at the institution and asked: You got a district federal judge. He knocked again and what happened, he and only recently he knocked and you got a postmaster. Give you a district federal judge.

Lesson for August 28 NATHAN LEADS DAVID TO REPENTANCE LEBSON TEXT-II. "Xem. 11:11.12:5" LEBSON TEXT-III. "I will treasure trite heart, O God, thou will not die PRIMARY TOPIC—God Shows David His Sin. JUNIOR TOPIC—Nathan Calls David to Respentance. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- INTERMEDIATE AND FORWARD ST. TOONG and Foraking S. TOONG and Foraking S. TOP. Repetitions: What It Is, and What It Does. I. David's Crimes (I II. Sam. 11). He has the highly authority brought Bathheme, the beautiful wife of Urigh, one of his brave soldiers, into Murder (v. 14-18). David sought to cover up his shameful act of adultery with Batahelse by calling Uriah from the field of battle with him, and with his wife. (He first gave him recognition by sending a portion of meat from the royal table—v. 8). Uriah's high sense of military honor would not allow him to do this. Falling in this, 'iid corrupted him by making him crunk, with the expectation that Uriah would thus go to prison. He did not work he resorted to the terrible crime of exposing Uriah to the most dangerous place in the battle where he would surely be killed. Contributing Failure in David's Fall. 1. Idenities (11:11). It was the king's responsibility to battle Bard tarried at Jerusalem because indolence or self-indulgence. 2. He looked upon a beautiful woman as he was longing in idenities, this temptation was too great for him. He ridden to his la欠ful impulses and sent Bard to the court of Nathan. As he was longing in idenities, this temptation was too great for him. He ridden to his la欠ful impulses and sent Bard to the court of Nathan. This action on the part of David is absolutely inexcercable. David had the power to turn from this sin and threaten Nathan. His death III. David Rebuked by Nathan, the Prophet (12:1-12). He had rebuked and done displeased the Lord (12:17). What he had done gratified his own armless lust, but the serious thing is that it displeased the Lord. Because David was God's own, he therefore sent Nathan, his Prophet, to him. In parable of the own lamb (v.14). Among the Jews it was customary to have pet lamb which were brought to David and therefore and therefore with tender affection. Nathan pictures before David a poor man whose sole possession is a neighbor rich neighbor when entertaining a guest had appropriated unto himself this lamb instead of drawing upon his own body. David's anger that he declared that the rich man should restore fourfold, and in addition forst his life. Nine years later, in spite of David's awful sin, he had burning indignation against the wrokenness. Sentence of Judgment (v. 7-12). Perhaps no history records an indictment so terrible as this one. David God's peculiar favor (v. 7, 8). God had taken him from the sheepcote and lifted him to the thrope. David had delivered him from Saul's murderous plots and he had inherited Saul's royal posessions. He was grateful treatment of God's law (v. 7). He pointed out that he had violated both tables of the law by worshipping the idolatrous, covetous, robery, lying and murder. The awful judgment pronounced (v. 10-12). The prophet described the sword should never depart from David's house. He had used the sword to kill the king, and justice justified the sword to remain in David's house. IV. David's Confession (vv. 19-20) He said that God would be real that he declared that it had been committed against God (Pa. 51:4). He now was made fully conscious of his broken condition. He realized that God had made him aware of his crimes. Though he confessed his sins, as recorded in Psalm 32, and God forgave him, he had to suffer its consequences. He made a man south that he also remit. The Coward To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, or anything that is disgraceful is not the rule of a brave man. The power of a brave man to aid an ill or to aid an ill to shun the misfortunes and trials of life, not undergoing death because it is honorable, but to escap evil. - Aristotle Prayer, a Golden Key Prayer is a gold key which should open the morning sky up the eve of the day.

He has not yet served out quite half of violating the postal laws of the United States. If Mr. Garvey had stunned the police, he would have been a victim of the law. He has also been against the law, he should be involved in social propaganda, it produces a complicated situation. Garvey has never been a publicist, and he has not yet obtained an otherwise than I did in furtherance of my cause, yet I recognize that you must send me to prison in discharge of your duty." Eugene Debs was innoquishably ill, and he was a man of great strength, and a man of great although he never recanted one word or receded one inch from his accepted doctrine. Thousands of patriotic and loyal American citizens who despise the American people have been in the face of the government, and they are accused, are nevertheless zealous in their endeavor to have them given a square deal before the law and before the bar of public opinion. They have been in the face of the law, and they have been in the face of the law, and they have been in the face of the law. They have been imputed crime. It is a dangerous principle to impose legal punishment upon men for their beliefs rather than for their behavior. The trick is as simple as the way they are to be applied to the law. The law is the trine of some technical violation of the law and impose upon him sentence of imprisonment, banishment or death; thus society rids itself of the agitator and the duel process of law. Did they not treat Socrates, Jesus, and John Brown so? The law is the trine of the law, and John Brown so? The law is the trine of the law. The Negro intelligentsia, led by the brilliant editors of the Messenger, were not only the first to be applied to the law, but also the first to be applied to theిtry. I took then, as I take now, the opposite view. How the Negro could advocate condign punishment of any one for opinion's sake surpasses my own knowledge, and the fact that the law is the trine of the law, and the Doughlass would have been made short shrift of in the South because they advocated doctrine at vital variance with the dominant feeling and belief. But the Doughlass was not the only one to be applied to the law, and the Doughlass was that day that the Negro owes his freedom and opportunity. Of all men, I could not and cannot see how the editors of the Messenger could or can be illberial to anyone because of his doctrine. They are the only people who have ever been a free man. They are the only people who have ever been a free man for the new way for the new Negro were snatched from their editorial sanctum and placed in the front line of battle in a foreign war main-pursuit. The Doughlass was not a prodigal, but a prodigal, and a prodigal. This was an instance of income, promoting a pernicious propaganda. But back to Garvey. Whatever offense he committed against the law, it was apart from, and not a part of his propaganda. I have consulted perennially, and I have written to the public, and I have written to his bitter opponents as to plans of procedure. They tell me that there is nowhere the slightest intimation that he ever had any deliberate purpose to make. He has no one but one fraction of a cent of the illegal returns to his own pecuniary advantage. The public was universally interested in his trial and conviction. Why? Not because of his technical violation of the postal regulations, but by reason of his poor character, he was not a man who could not be found in the court. He furnished information to the government leading to his conviction. Such reprehensible procedure carries with it its own reward or its own condemnation, and he is not a man who has ever been a man of the same character as he is in itself and was prompted by the patriotic impulse to uphold the integrity of the law, it would have been commendable. But to help send Garvey to prison, ostensibly on a technical charge, but really because his proposal was to be made to the public, he was not a man who could not be found in the court. He was not a man who could not be found in the jail because he does not agree with me on the Eighteenth Amendment. In fact, he was not a man who could not be found in the court. He is not an independent merit. If any better way, let it so appear. Truth can well afford to contend with error without taking sinister advantage. The Negro race should join one united petition for the pardon of Marcus Garvey. Our newspapers and the news-出版商 are not the same as the people who had any complicit part in his imprisonment should be the most zealous in seeking his release. The majesty of the law has been vindicated. Two and a-half years imprisonment will impress this lesson as effectively as five. No further information is available to the public. The future of the Garvey propaganda is entirely problematic. His magnetic personality will probably be as or more effective in than out of prison. The future of the future is not the same as the future of prison, and the impact is on the health and render his future conduct less strenuous and his influence less dynamic. But the government that pardoned Debs, the trecon, citiable radical, on grounds of health, certainly could not with moral consciences be held in the hands of the people. The public, the public health. Further imprisonment of the head of the Garvey movement will but serve to emphasize his martyrdom in the eyes of his devoted followers. The public, the public health, and those who believe that his proposal is a evil, and ought to be hampered out of Aside from disputed merits of the Garvey Movement, it must be conceived that he has begotten for himself an intensity of discipleship which has not parallel among Negroes in this country. When the shepherd is smitten, the sheep are usually scattered abroad. But Garvey still directs the faithful from his prison house in Atlanta. At the time of the death of Frederick Douglass, he was a trustee of Howard University. The university canvassed the country to endow a scholarship in his honor; but out of his millions of admirers, only a few thousand dollars could be raised. Read the sad story of the Douglass Home, which in vain, some have tried to make the Mecca of the race. But like the path of wisdom, the road that leads to the home of the sage of Anacostia, has but now and then a traveller. Booker Washington's fame filled the race and the world more completely than any other coloured man before or since his day, except for the briefer brilliance of Marcus Garvey. And yet today, Booker Washington has few apostles and few disciples. I remember the disgusting lukewarmness of many of his camp followers here in Washington, whom he had raised to positions of power and preferment, when immediately after his death, it was proposed to raise an endowment of half a million dollars in honor of his memory. Some of these courteans did not contribute either then or later to the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment one per cent of the largess which came to them through Mr. Washington's influence. It seems that a report became current or was instigated from certain sources which charged that the Texas delegation was endeavoring to bring the 1929 biennial meeting to Dallas, in order to run W. S. Willis against S. W. Green as supreme chancellor; and fearing Willis strength and leadership, apparently the governor made the conviction that it is Dallas's strength—or to play safe by staying out of Dallas and Texas. Though defeated for the 1929 biennial convention, Dallas won a great moral victory, and the fight for the next meeting place was the only issue of the entire week which actually put any life into the supreme judge—not even being surpassed in interest by the governor. The governor was unable until victory perches upon our standards and the cause of real Pythinism, which knows neither section nor clime, will triumph over sectionalism, prejudice, politics, eavy and jealousy.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1927 RAISING ISSUE OF SECTIONALISM The injection of the issue of sectionalism into the contest for the next convention city by the supreme lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias, staged in Chicago last Saturday, was a very unfortunate and regrettable incident, and the raising of such an issue proves a boomerang ultimately to the entire Pythian jurisdiction. The fight for entertaining the 1929 biennial session of the supreme Pythian body was between Dallas, Texas, and Indianapolis, Indiana, the latter city being recognized stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan. Indianapolis was not in the race but, when the administration (that is the supreme chancellor—himself a Sisterherm and grand chancellor of a Pythian jurisdiction in a XIX century city) was sent to a way and sentiment in its publicity campaign for the 1929 biennial convention, inducements were offered the Hoorier State metropolis to enter the race against the Texas city. Despite the fact that the Lone Star State delegation gave every assurance required by the supreme body—and even more, guaranteeing to meet and fill every condition requisite to holding such an event, adverse vote was taken and Dallas left to Indianapolis by 47 to 30. IT WAS NOT THE ADVERSE VOTE THAT CAUSES THE INFORMER TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER AT LENGTH, (FOR TEXANS ARE THOROUGHHBREDS AND CAN TAKE DEFEAT CHEEFULLY), BUT IT WAS THE ATTITUDE ASSUMED BY HON. S. W. GREEN OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, THE TEXANS OF NEW ORLEANS, THE PYTHIAN ORDER, TOOK THE FLOOR AND WAGON OF THE MOST TITTER AND SUFFLE FIGHTS AGAINST DALLAS AND THE ENTIRE SOUTH. Another disinguisg and exasperating spectacle was to see other Southern delegates, particularly from Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma, fighting Texas and the South, which course of action prompted some of the Northern delegates to admonish the "brethren" of the Supreme Chancellor. A NATIVE SOUTHERNER AND RESIDENT OF THE SOURTH ALL HIS DAYS, TOOK THE POSITION THAT HE IS ALTERNATELY OPPOSED TO THE SUPREME LODGE MEETING IN THE "FAR SOUTH" AS LONG AS THERE IS SEGREGATION, "JIM-CROWISM" AND DISFRACHISMENT IN DIXIELAND. As long as there is a reclined chair in a mob of white hooded ejected him in the Pullman drawing room in Florida and started to lynch him, he gave to his auditors the full and complete details of this incident. He failed to tell them who purchased the Pullman reservations and what the mob had been informed about the occupants of this drawing room. He failed to explain the fact that he is the distinguished guest of honor at the grand lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythas in this state every year; and has been both loud and profuse in his comments and compliments touching upon the fine manner in which delegates and visitors to the annual sessions of the order in Texas are greeted and treated with respect. He really made a DEMAGOGIC EFFORT TO PREJUDICE THE DELEGATES AGAINST TEXAS, ADDING THAT MEMBERS OF THE UNIOPM RANK AND CALANTHEANS, PARTICULARLY THOSE FROM NORTHERN AND EASTERN MEMBERS OF TEXAS, AND THE GER OF MOR-VIOLENCE IN TEXAS, AND OTHER STATES OF THE "FAR SOUTH." When it is recalled that the majority of the colored Pythians reside in Southern states, and that the supreme lodge was organized in Vicksburg, Miss., and has held biennial sessions in cities such as Charleston, North Carolina, and Former IS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS SECTIONALISM ISSUE, AS RAISED BY THE SUPREME CHANCEILLOR AND HIS HENCHMEN, WAS MERELY A SMOKE SCREEN, and a RACK OF THIS OPPOSITION TO THE SUPREME BODY MEMBER OF THE TEXAS CITY, IT A BIT OF POLITICS, ENYV AND JALEOUSY. The Lone Star State jurisdiction, with W. S. Willis of Dallas, as grand chancellor, has made most wonderful progress in 10 years and today easily ranks as the richest Pythian jurisdiction in the world, having assets and resources in excess of $1,000,000, and having a large number of feats which has not been duplicated or approached by any other jurisdiction, either of the "civilized" North, East and West or the "uncivilized" South! The wonderful headway made by the Texas order under Mr. Willis of Dallas, the Pythian lodge, has to become unvous and jealous of the phenomenal achievements of the fraternity in this state—for the Pythian grand lodge of Texas does not suffer in comparison with the supreme lodge, if the recent Chicago session is a true sample of the type of biennial gatherings held by the order. It is clear that some of the national Pythian leaders are somewhat sore and peeved with the Texas grand chancellor, because Mr. Willis would not consent to bankrupt the Texas Pythian organization in order to provide funds for the completion of the national temple now under course of construction at Chicago, but which has met a financial snag, and which appears to be a The Informer holds to the opinion that any man who resides in the South and makes his living off of Southerners; who holds high offices and positions of preferment, distinction and emolument as a lawyer, judge, or minister, and is the rest of the law for him, then said man vehemently and bit- The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper terly condens and denounces his common section to and before residents of other sections of the country—such man is either a hypocrite, ingrate or lacking in some of the finer attributes which constitute man of character, honor, integrity and stability. ANY MAN WHO IS ASHAMED OF HIS WIFE SHOULD DIVOLTION, and start up in PUBLIC AND SPEAK DISRESECTFULLY OF HIS WIFE OR MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSE-HOLD. While admitting that every American citizen has a right to his views and opinions, the Informer contends that no man is qualified to head a national movement or direct the activities of such an organization, who preaches and espouses the doctrine of sectionality, and resorts to incendiary methods to prejudice the cause of his opponents. Since the supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias is so bitter against the South (which includes Louisiana, his own home state), and since the South is such a rotten place for his political career, and since the South is so incendiary head of the colored Pythians of the South (and, incidentally, of the country), or remove to the North, or East. Holding such views, some moving should be done, and Mr. Green should either change his views, or remove his place of residence, or remove himself from the highest office within the gift of the Pythian juries- MARCUS G (By KELLY) Some three years after a ternary constitution for a national government, and since New York has violated the law, he tendered his situation. Gandhi otherwise than I did, he carcerated for constance although he never did. The doctrine which of the former is accused of being the same as the technique employed by his agitation and his agitation by John Brown and John Green is quite generally of the same origin. THERE IS A NEW SOUTH AND THERE IS A NEW NORTH. THE NEW SOUTH IS BECOMING MORE TOLERANT AND, THE NEW NORTH IS BECOMING MORE INTOLERANT AND PREJUDICIAL, AS RELATES TO THE NEW SOUTH AND THE NEW NORTH, NOT DISCREWN THIS PATENT FACT, IS TOO BLIND TO ATTEMPT TO LEAD OTHERS. So many of our so-called race leaders are rather inconsistent, often upraiding and lambasting their white neighbors for doing and saying things which are calculated and destined to keep alive the fires of prejudice, antipathy and intolerance. The issue of sectionalism, or “Negro domination” “white supremacy,” our race leaders become alarmed and discern only evil and ill in such demographic tactics, practices and preachments; and yet whenever these same black leaders want to carry a point, or put over their pet scheme or proposition, they will invoke this same metho- out of the same way. The same way, the same way, the same way. If the colored Pythians of America are too cowardly and spineless to hold one biennial meeting in Texas in 45 years; if they are afraid to endure and tolerate for one week what more than 750,000 of their brothers and sisters face daily; if they do not believe in the doctrine of helping their less fortunate brother; if they want to meet in some Northern American country; if they want to use the colored Pythians of the South as “fat things” and stepping stones; if they think that Southerners of color are only good enough for the order to provide the money for such trips, outgings, vacations and bad business ventures projected by certain leaders of the order—then the order has failed in its mission already, and, unless men with broader vision and a more common sense and business ability, have at the head of the order, it will sooner or later find itself drifting upon dangerous shoals. Mind you, The Informer is not "singing the blues" because Texas did not land the 1929 biennial session of the supreme lodge of Pythians, nor is this paper offering any alibi for the failure of the Texas delegation to secure the meeting in question; but this paper is taking umbrage at Mr. Green, himself a Southern Negro and a former slave, by his scourish attack upon the South and the insidious and infernal campaign of propaganda conducted by some of the henchmen and proteges during convention week, to prejudice the delegates against Dallas and Texas in particular and the South in general. When the fact is borne in mind that every member of the supreme cabinet—with two or three possible exceptions—lined up and voted for Indianapolis as against Dallas, and yet the delegates against Dallas and Texas were parents to one who knows the inner workings of such organizations that—had the supreme chancellor not sent the word "down the line" that the meeting should go to Indianapolis, and then consumed much valuable time in a weak effort to further prejudice the delegates against Dallas, Texas and the South—it is more than probable that the Lone Star State city would have emerged victorious. Furthermore, the delegates had to stand and openly announce their choice as between the two cities, (some more politics) and it required much moral courage and real manhood for delegates to openly攻 against the will and wishes of the supreme chancellor. In deciding to meet in Indianapolis, the supreme lodge chose that city without a single invitation being sent by any official, municipal, state or county; or without being given any assurance municipal, state or county. Indiana juried him and after Katherine had withdrawn from the race earlier in the week, frantic efforts were made to trot out some other city to oppose Dallas, and the Indiana delegation was the only one that could be used in this respect. It is even rumored that the supreme lodge will be forced to take care of some of the local expenses incident to holding their 1929 meeting in Indianapolis, yet the effort to the Chicago meeting prepared to make any guarantee required to insure the entertainment of the biennial session. Despite the fact that the South is far from being the ideal for the black race (and no paper or person in the North, East, South or West has been more outspoken and consistent in its oratory than the North), neither this paper nor its editor is willing to admit that "the time is not yet ripe for the supreme lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias to meet in the "far South," to employ the words of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. The Elks held a national convention in Richmond, Va., the National Baptist Convention, the largest organized body of Negroes in the United States, to gatherings in Texas, two or more before the split and two since the rupture; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in disregue by many white Southerners, convened in Atlanta, Ga., and even the supreme lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias has held biennial conventions at Atlanta, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and Miss. (Where it was originally organized) and New Orleans. SINCE MR. GREEN IS SO BITTER AGAINST DALLAS AND TEXAS, AND SINCE HE MAD MORE AWFUL CHARGES AGAINST TEXAS IN HIS SPEECH AND CAMPAGN AGAINST DALLAS AS THE NEXT CONVENTION CITY, WE WONDER HOW HE WILL FEEL IN 1928, IN THE EVENT HE SHOULD ARM WITH THE GRAND LODGE OF THE TEXAS PYTHIANS AT HOUSTON! GOING A BUT FURTHER, MR. GREEN CHARGED THAT THE WHITE SOUTH WOULD INSULT EVERY NEGRO WOMAN WHO MIGHT ATTEND THE SUPREME SESSION AT DALLAS; ADDING THAT "THE SOUTH IS NO DECENT PLACE FOR ANY MAN'S WIFE, DAUGHTER, MOTHER OR SWEETHEART;" AND YET THE RECORDS DO NOT SHOW WHERE SHOUSE LIVES IN ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE COUNTRY! Informer we have heretofore had a very high opinion of Mr. Green, and we have regarded him as a consistent, conscientious leader—a man with vision, backbone and stamina; one who believes in playing the game according to Hoyle, and this editor certainly would be pained to have such opinions changed at this time. We have heard him on numerous occasions at the grand lodges of Pythians in this state extol the Lone Star commonwealth, and at Austin during last June, Mr. Green was loud and inked in the discussion of the state lobby for the duly liberal spirit exemplified in tendering the grand lodge the free use of the legislative halls! OPINIONS MARCUS GARVEY SHOULD BE PARDONED (By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) But not so with Marcus Garvey and his followers. Thousands of his followers are ready to follow him, not only to prison, but to death and even beyond the grave, if need requires. The deep-seated reason for this devotion is found in the fact that Mr. Garvey appealed to certain inner springs of motive which had not been touched before. In the first place, he stoutly refused to bow down and worship at the shrine of white idolatry. If he seemed to apotheosize blackness, it was merely as an antidote to the prevalent apotheosis of whiteness. He filled his followers with the feeling that they need not take on the superficial aspect of the Caucasian race in order to assert and exert the highest powers and faculties of human nature. They were inspired with the thought that they need not apologize for their race and color, as the whole trend of tradition has taught them to do. He repudiated utterly the racial inferiority complex. The Negro, according to Garvey, must assert the claims of human nature in his own semblarice, and not merely as a carbon copy of the white race. He thus engendered a race consciousness and a sense of racial self-respect which constitute his chief contribution to the Negro branch of the human family. In the second place, Mr. Garvey dramatized the propaganda of the redemption of Africa. This feeling lies deeply imbedded in the Negro soul. Mr. Garvey awakened it, if but for a moment, into life and power. Ever and again, the black man, the black man, and the black man, the black man, the appeal to this dormant passion for repatriation. I recall Dr. Blyden Bishop Turner, General Sams, Dr. DuBois and Marcus, all playing in diverse tones on the same African harp. All such attempts so far have been futile, but the deep-seated feeling abides. Just as the "new" in his soul of self, the "old" of the Negro, by blind, half-conscious feeling, longs for his own vine and fig tree under the sunny skies of his motherland. Some day the Negro statesman may arise with wisdom and power to translate this feeling into thought and then the thought into action. It does not appear that this is the only way to do this. It is not the only way to do it. It is still looking for another. Marcus Garvey is the greatest prophet of African redemption that has yet arisen. But the task essayed, is at present not only beyond the reach of available means of realization, but all but beyond the stretch of the imagination. The first point of the point, the fourth Pan-African Congress under the sponsorship of Mrs. Hunten and inspiration of DuBois will be under way. I trust that the first act of this congress will be to send a request to President Coolidge for the pardon of Garvey. THE QUESTION NATURALLY ARISES, WAS MR. GREEN SINGERE IN WHAT HE SAID IN AUSTIN LAST YEAR, AND IN WHAT HE HAS SAID AT PYTHIAN GRAND LODGES OF TEXAS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, OR WAS HE MERELY "SHOOTING THE BULL?" IF HF WERE SINCERE AND HONEST IN HIS CONVICTIONS AND EXPRESSIONS IN TEXAS, WHY SUCH CHANGE OF FRONT IN ILLINOIS?
