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. 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.

"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?

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.

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.

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. Even the wife of the supreme chancellor, New Orleans, La., and lives off the sweat and toll of Negroes of Louisiana and Texas in her talk before the supreme court, she had several times and had never seen a colorful uniform rank of the order went to Texas, everything they had would be colored.

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.

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.

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. 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!
