ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICKI White Woman Admits Tenn. Murder WILSON HEADS ELKS AGAIN VOLUME IX White WIL The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON "GLOBE-TROTTER" AT HOME Since the conductor of this column has been on the go so much during the present summer season, some of his friends have climbed him as a "globe-trotter," so the journalistic "globe-trotter" is back in his same run after an extended trip to St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit and Windsor, Canada. Our last weekly epistle was written from the Windy City, which we left the following day or one of the Chicago Detroit, based on the automobile manufacturing center of the world. It is estimated that all of the automobile manufactures in this country are made at Detroit and immediate environments, such as Flint, Pontiac and When it comes to automobiles, Michigan presents a rather strange and novel situation, for while the Wolverine State is the recognized automobile center of the world, one sees plenty of bad looking, antequated cars in that state. Michigan we discovered that apples and peanuts are grown abundantly in that state, for the highways are literally dotted with stands and vendors offering apples, apple cider, peanuts and celery for sale. The farmers in that section of the country believe in a diversified crop, and we noticed that the farmers were raising or had raised vegetables while they were in the town. In Northern farmers, on the whole, to leave their rural homes and drive or ride to the urban or city markets to purchase such green foods for their families. We also observed that Northern farmers take better care of their farming implements than other farmers who are also in the urban or city markets. Southern agriculture brethren; and it is the exception, rather than the rule, to behold an automobile belonging to a Northern farmer standing out in the open or under some tree. Southern farmers, particularly those of the Negro race, should pursue this policy, both as to diversification of crops and protection of their farming implements and automobiles from the ravages of the U.S. Our bus ride from Chicago to Detroit was long, tiresome and exacting, requiring more than 13 hours, but we were repaid by the wonderful highways and beautiful scenery seen enroute. We rode on less than two miles of gravedown between these two cities, all the highways being hard surfaced and comparative. Arriving in Detroit, we caught a taxi and a cousin's account, Attorney Harold E. Bledsoe, a native Texan now engaged in the successful practice of law in the legal firm of Rowlete, Lewis Bledsoe and Dent. Mr. Dent, known as Bledsoe and Dent, is a native of Rome, Georgia, and is located to our A. W. Dent of Atlanta, Georgia, and another Bledsoe, attorney another "Bamite," attorney Lange (it was "Lang" before he went north), who hails from Enley, Ala. It is also connected with this legal firm. To Mr. Bledsoe's apartment Saco-Vanetelli demonstration on Cadillac Square, with several so-called Saco-Vanetelli payments, paying their respects, and female, situations, ideals and public officials, leave their native land in order to escape tyranny and oppression, will come to America and seek to destroy the city. When he arrives, when some official act is committed which does not meet the approbation of these outlandish foreigners, who whisper in protest to some official, whisper in protest to some official, upon our arrival in Detroit, my spouse ran into another relative, who accompanied us to Marshall, Texas, who, accompanied by their two children, was visiting her husband's brother. Dr. and Mrs. W. Bledsoe, a native Texan, acquired his apartment, cordially received us upon our arrival, the Bledsoe being out at our arrival, we spent very night with her. The following day we were afforded an opportunity to see Detroit and visit Windsor, Canada, through the kindness of Attorney Bledsoe, who tendered us the use of his Chrysler sedan, along with a chauffeur who knew the places of interest in that city. Despite rain and chilly weather, we enjoyed the drive and the thrill of planting our feet in a foreign country, so to speak. Windsor is across from Detroit, the Detroit River dividing the two countries, and ferry boats ply between the American and Canadian cities. Our sojourn in Detroit was pleasant and profitable—thanks to Judge and Mrs. Bledsoe. Contrasted with Detroit, Windsor immediately proves to the visitor that it is a typical Canadian city and there is a different atmosphere to that pre- (Continued on Page 1 of 1) THE HOUSTON INFORMER Maurice Mays, Negro, Innocent Though Dead Danger of Death Penalty Upon Circumstantial Evidence Shown—Dead Man's Color, Not His Crime, Determining Factor In Conviction and Electrocution—White Woman's Conscience Convicted and Condemned Her For Years—Case Takes Peculiar Twist. New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received from its Lima, Ohio, branch, a report stating that a white woman, who gave her name as Mrs. Sadie Mendil, had confessed the murder of Bertie Lindsay in Knoxville, Tennessee, for which a Negro, Maurice Mays, had paid the penalty with his life, although he protested his innocence, and for which the N. A. A. C. P. sword of the case of Maurice Mays that he was arrested in August, 1915, in Knoxville, and continues: Special to The Informer. "The trial resulted in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The general opinion among both white and colored in Knoxville was that Maya was not guilty. Being confident of her guilt, the Knoxville branch undertook to have the case investigated in an effort to save him from the chair. The investigation brought out evidence to show that Maya was guilty. He was at his home sleep, more than a mile from the scene of the crime. "The national office called upon the judge to adjourn the case with the Knoxville branch. More than $600, was raised as a defense expense. The judge, in the presence state supreme court remanded the case for a new trial. ..... Nevertheless, despite the general conviction that he was innocent, Maya was guilty." SLEEPING CAR WORKERS WILL APPEAL CAUSE SLEEPING CAR WORKERS WILL APPEAL CAUSE New York City.—Acting on the statement of Edwin M. Morrow and the Pulman company, that the Pulman Company had refused to arbitrate with the Brotherhood, slip Randolph, general organizer, announced Thursday that the Brotherhood would appeal to the Emergency "nstead of weakening the Brotherhood," and has strengthened its position before the bar of public opinion," Mr. Randolph said. The Brotherhood contended that it represented a majority of Pulman company hold that the employee representation plan, which it favors, represented 85 per cent of the Pulman portfolio. The Brotherhood charged that porters and maids voted for that plan and that the company maintained that it had a contract with its employees in the plan. This the Brotherhood denied. Clemency For Black Slayer In Arkansas (By The Associated Press Proof) Little Rock, Ark.—Through the decision of Governor Marineau, Thursday afternoon, Richard Voice was convicted of murdering a life in prison instead of being electrified as decreed by the court.

While he was not nurpried at the clementy recorded him by the governor, he was not arrested. Voice was happy Richard that made his way to the state prison early Friday.

At the time of the crime, police said Mrs. Mendil had told them, her男, men Jodoyo, and Dreaded men's clothes and with her face at Devon Town, Tennessean, she slipped into the linen woman home and killed her in bed. She did so, she said, because a few nights she traveled a man, to the Lindsay house and had seen her husband and a Lindsay woman together on the street.

Fowler, president of the Texas Association of Negro Musicians, upon her return from Austin, where she was the guest of the musicians of the Texas Association, which is held by scholarship, makes the announcement of the following communication from C.

Josephine Baker Sues Ethel Waters For Burlesque Act Special to The Informer. New York City.—Broadway, as well as Harlem, was astir last week with the rumor that Josephine Baker, through her New York attorneys, had instituted suit for an injunction to prevent Ethel Waters from continuing her burlesque of the Parisian pseudo-countess. Whether the producer, Earl Dancer, who conceived the idea, and the owners of Daly's 63rd Street Theatre, where the alleged injury to the Franco-aphrodisiac's popularity takes place, will be co-defendants could not be ascertained. There was also much speculation as to whether Count Albertini would institute a parallel injection against Louis Douglas, who at every performance convulses New York's rialto with his mimicry of Miss Baker's consort. An interview with Miss Waters disclosed the fact that she was all in the dark as to the proceedings and had not and did not expect to be served in the action. If Miss Baker has grounds for civil action, no legal lights could be found who were of that opinion. This is the opinion expressed by those who have seen the skit over and again in "Africana", and it was the consensus of desire that if such actions were taken it would come to naught, since this timely burlesque of the famous Josephine certainly does not detract from the much sought after publicity of the "what's it" counter. DALLAS EDITOR BETTER While in Dallas last week, C. F. Richardson, editor or author of *The New Yorker*, and John W. Rice of the Dallas Express, who undertook the task of building the city in the North Texas city. He states that Editor Rizzo was much better at managing the plan than removing it to his home next day. Cool-Headed Deputy Stops N. C.

Washington Editor Lands Chief Office In Heated Election Capital City Journalist-Fraternist Defeated Opponents—New York City Captured By "Bills"—"Buffaloes" Were Taboo—Chicago Lands 1928 Convention—Elks' Educational Program Ably Outlined By Commissioner Hueston.

Finley Wilson was re-elected grand exalted ruler of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, for the sixth time, here Thursday evening, and George E. Bates and James T. Carter, were re-elected secretary and treasurer, respectively. The election of this trio of officers brought to a close one of the most significant features of the New York convention. Willie many felt that Wilson would be re-elected to the office which he has held for five years, there was much apprehension as to the outcome, when it was rumored that Magistrate Edw. W. Henry, Philadelphia, Dalmau and for many years Philadelphia, Dalmau and for many years have proved troublesome to the grand exalted ruler in his ambition to be re-elected, had it not been for the splendid record which Wilson has made during his incumbency. Pre-election pledges of the Ne W york lodges also paved the way for his easy victory. The convention opened Monday, and from the opening session through the final assembly, there was much activity. New York showed the "Hello Bils" a thing or two, and the "Hello Bils" in turn demonstrated a few things to New York City. All in all, it was one of the greatest conventions ever held by the order and was by far the most picturesque and brilliant affair ever staged in the Gratian Law, which was for a greater service to a larger number of people. Education-Health Reports Conspicuous among the reports of the white Elks joined hands with those of color in making the visiting Elks the order that was of the educational commission, headed by Judge W. C. Bates and the convention and the success. The port showed that through the educa- Parade Stirring Spectacle Perhaps, not since the American expeditionary forces paraded up the streets of Manhattan at the close of the great World War, has New York been more than a city that presented by the Elks parade Tuesday. More than 10,000 Elks, with some 30 bands, participated in this mammoth parade which wended its way through the main streets of New York, down the downpour of rain, which drenched the marchers and the spectators the marchers and the spectators the marchers with undamaged armor in water-seaked uniforms. The marchers with undamaged armor inookers who applauded the paraders and the officials as they passed. The rain failed also to dampen the aron Order's Rapid Growth Shown While the parade was a distinct attraction of the populace at large, doings were within the convention itself. Gates indicated the rapid growth of power during the past year by the organisation would grow more rapid, the organisation would grow more rapid.

He plans to continue his efforts on the issue. Meeting Very Harmonious The convention, which was predicted to be turbulent and warlike, was in the midst of a peaceful, and New Yorkers and the Elks of the world were glad that an event could be held in Manhattan, in former years, the band content held the attention of the delegates and created much rivalry. The convention could be held in Philadelphia, over a group of contestants gathered throughout the jurisdiction. The Mitt Monarchs won the contest several times, won the contest several times, was ineligible this year due to the rules of the contest which eliminates the contest.

A second discovery, and regarded as important, was that of a strong strike to which was attached a trace chain bearing a stout lock, and which they learned on inquiry from the other "doctors" in the house, had secured a woman while the "high pophets" attempted to dispell the "evil spirit" from her head. She had been chained there, the deputies were told, until the high prophet became alarmed and realeased her, turning her over to her brother. Membership of the colony, except for Carpenter and his chief prophets, consisted principally of women and girls who were convinced that Carpenter and his aides, in a lesser degree, were endoged with supernatural powers. The prophet did not call on patients but waited in the seclusion of the house for the "angels" to bring in the sufferers. Not only one death, but a second is under investigation. One piece of evidence is a repellent looking fluid shaded green, which is supposed to be highly efficacious in driving evil spirits from bodies in which they lodged, and by which the cultists set great store.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1927 Oppression Lies Deeper Than Any Color Prejudice J. Special to The Informer. New York City.—Addressing the opening mass-meeting last Sunday, of the fourth Pan-African Congress, William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pointed out that the ultimate causes of oppression lie deeper than race or color, and that the fight for justice must enlist international co-operation. “In spite of the powerful tradition of the myth of race,” declared Mr. Pickens, “we wish to say that a likeness in economic condition is a far-sounder basis for co-operation among men than is a similarity of skin color or nose shape. If there is a factory or a mill that employs many people of many different races, the destiny of those people is far more involved in their work and wages than in their language and birth-places. But the superstition of race and of nationality is so strong in the minds of men that many movements for the good of mankind still find themselves at first narrowly limited by racial and national lines. “The Pan-African Congress, a biennial conference of all the descendants of Africa throughout the world, was conceived by the far-seeing genius of Dr. DuBois and was first organized in Paris in 1919. It recognizes the fact that in a world largely dominated by group-conscious white men, there is a ‘color problem’ for the colored people of the world, and especially for the descendants of Africa.” "Perhaps nobody dreams that the Brussels Congress can ever be solved simply by the co-operation of Negroes with Negroes or of Chinese with Chinese. The Chinman can ever be solved simply by the vanancement of Colored people began with the confidence and co-operation of a group of colored men styling themselves and also headed by Dr. DuBois. This movement became a national power, brought some of the more socially-minded white people to see that they were not alone in the movement and aims of the movement of the colored men. Congress declared that the Brussels Congress of Oppressed People had put oppression, imperialism, colonial tyranny and race prejudice in the eyes of the people." "Economic exploitation knows not race nor color. It will attack that group which is most helpless, most open to exploitation. The Negroes of Africa were not enslaved because they were Negroes but because they offered the greatest return for the smallest amount of outlay and effort to the slave hunter. Capitalistic exploiters are a natural class, not to be distinguished by race, color, language or ancient history. Even an American Negro capitalist, late descendant of raped Africa, is just exactly like other capitalists. He must be like the others. The American Negro and the Pan-African Congress must see common interest and make common cause with the other oppressed and exploited peoples of the world." DROPSY TREATMENT. It gives quick relief.

Where we formerly took ninety days in which to pay death claims, we now pay them before deceased is buried, provided satisfactory proofs are made to the Home Office. We realize that most families need money when death occurs, therefore, you should immediately notify our office, Preston 3288, and our Representative will call and assist you in making proofs, and give you such aid as you may desire. We feel proud and thankful to you and every policyholder who had faith enough in race men and women to allow us the opportunity to show the world that the Negro could build and operate a business and be honest in his dealings with his own people. We do not mean to say we have pleased everyone (Christ did not do that), neither do we think we have not made mistakes. We have made mistakes, but always stand ready to correct any error our representatives might make. We were the first race men and women to serve our people in Texas. We had no one that we could ape. We had to find the way; naturally, we, as all other pioneers, made mistakes. We feel proud that other insurance men who have since entered the field, have found the wilderness cleared. The American Mutual is a Texas institution, giving employment to over 500 Texas men and women. All of the money you pay in is kept in Texas to help Texas Negroes advance. Again we thank you for your past and future patronage, and wish to remain, Special to The Informer. New York City.—The fourth Pan-African Congress, ending its sessions on Friday, announced the manifesto in the name of its delegates "from 20 American states, from nearly all West Indies islands, from Germany, Japan, India, South America, Sierra Leone, Gulf Coast, Nigeria, the state of Kono states the following demands of Negroes throughout the world: 1. The land and government. 2. The rights to the land and its natural resources. 3. Modern education for all children. 4. The development of Africa for the Africans and not merely for the profit of Europeans. 5. The re-organization of commerce and industry, the main object of capital and labor the welfare of the many rather than the enriching of the people. 6. The treatment of civilized men as civilized despite differences of birth, race or color. The manifesto further demands the withdrawal of American armed forces from the black republic of Haiti, and the restoration of self-government there; condemns the attempt of the white South Africans to monopolize the land belonging to the black natives; and after touching on African conditions, says of conditions in the United States: "We believe that the Negroes of the United States should begin the effective use of their political power and that instead of working for a few minor offices or for merely local favors and concessions, they should vote with their eyes fixed upon the international problems of the color line and the national problems which affect the Negro race in the United States." The manifesto urges the entrance of Negroes into trade unions in this country and says: "We urge the white workers of the world to realize that no program of labor unlift can be successfully carried out."

Pastor L. G. Porter read the impressive and solemn marriage ritual, and tied the nuptial knot rendering the twin one and inseparable. The church was artistically decorated with bridal wreaths and lace ferns. Preceding the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. Birdie L. Whiteside sang very sweetly Cadman's "At Dawning," and as the last faint notes of the solo died away within the consecrated walls of the religious temple of worship, sweet strains of Mendel's son's "addings" March began to emanate from the instrument, with Miss Beatrice Butler officiating. The bride, charming and beautiful in a lovely white flat crepe dress, with basque waist and a scalloped and uneven hemline—with trimmings of white beads and carrying a bouquet of white roses—entered on the arm of her father, Mr. Adam Carlson; while the groom, attired with conventional full dress, cut, met his spousal beneath the center of a beautiful bell erected before the church altar. The bride's maid, Miss Rilma Scott, wore an elegant bride de mode style, a large picture hat m 2 match and a bouquet of roses in a large size of color, the occasion of honor, was resplendent in a white Georgette dress with haqueque and circular skirt, a large ribbon, carrying a bouquet of pink roses, and a miniature Giselle and Elizabeth, white creepe de chine and lace dresses. Mr. Charles Thomas, best man was married to the bride of the father. Miss Butler was the bride's mother throughout the wedding ceremony. The groom is the son of Mrs. Laurel Center Street, and the ceremony was held at the auditorium, audience, composed of several lead speakers, who were the recipients of many useful and valuable presents, for which they wish to express their deep sense of love. A reception was held at the Y. W. C. A place being decorated with farms and beautiful roses. Congratulations were given to the newly-married couple.

Even the buildings do not stack up with those in Detroit and other American cities, and there is not the hustle and bustle found in the average American city of the North, or even the South. Having had sufficient ride on the motor bus enroute to Detroit from Windy City, we elected to return to Chicago by rail, boarding the midnight all-Pullman passenger train of the Michigan Central and arriving in Chicago Wednesday morning. Detroit and Chicago have daylight saving time, while the railroads (out of Chicago) maintain central standard time, causing much confusion. Leaving Chicago Wednesday forenoon on the de luxe train of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, one of the prettiest and swellest daylight trains in America—consisting of all red coaches, even to parlor cars, diners and Pullmans—we reached St. Louis that afternoon. Dr. L. M. Mitchell, Houston dentist, was a passenger on this train, being enroute home from the National Medical Association held the previous week at Detroit. On our way to Chicago we spend several hours in St. Louis with my family, friends, and their families, and upon our return we spent a few minutes with them, depot between trains; Mr. and Mrs. James Rice have left early that day, and we spent the rest of the day at Depot between trains; and our western points. We had a most delightful stay with these fine students, speaking of St. Louis reminds me of the purchase tickets for the grandstand at Sportman's Park, where the St. Louis students buy tickets and Broward (American leagues) play all their home games. While in the Mound City during the recent session of the league, a party of us went to see the diamond, and you can imagine our surprise and disgust when informed by ticket sales that colored people were playing in the pavilion. Why, enear "in far South" (coined by Chan-Charan Knights of Pythias, himself a resident of Nebraska can purchase tickets for Nebraska can purchase tickets in the grandstand, while "free" St. Louisians must content themselves with their While discussing some observations made in the North, we also noticed that the diners were all wearing Negroes over dresses in Pulimans or eat on the diners; and dining car wallers were their Northern fraters of color do embody the other embolismations, they are quite parimutual. Futhermore, we observed that even Chicago—the rest and most of the cities—has a black race—is ruthlessly penalizing those who pay higher rents than the freedom and liberty enjoyed by the race in the Windy City. Negroes are forced to pay higher rents than white residents of the cities of life cost more on the South Side (black belt) than they do in the North Side (white belt). Imagine poor black people trying to pay $65, $70, $75, $80 and (in the month of apartments. In order to make all ends meet, it is not only impatient to work in the city but to work but many of them are forced to resort to other means and practice in order to live and keep afresh. Many of the cities of Chicago, despite the fact that the race is apparently doing well there, are often unable to live in the city or dying at a poor living rate.

He counts and shapes the destiny of all nations. "So many of our people here in America try to get away from their own people and get into the other race. I am proud of my race; glad that I am colored and think that every Negro should be. I have been advised by some of my friends up North, to come North where I could be a man, but my answer to them is, that I want to live in the South where I can help my people—live with them and die with them." The platform was graced with the presence of Mrs. Webb and her daughter, who acknowledged with deep emotion the splendid reception lavished upon them by their friends whose prayers brought them home safely.

BARGAINS IN UNREDEEMED PLEDGES GORDON'S LOAN OFFICE 808 Preston, Avenue (opposite CITY MARKET) "Greater Idlewild" From my previous article on "I失野" the reader may have got the impression that the resort is already well established, and hardy practicable, to make it larger: it has now many square miles of land and lakes; 20,000 or more lakes; 8,000 lot owners; 800 college buildings; a vibrant social and center on the great "Island" near the end of the great lake, and a similar center developed at the "Terraces"; where the lake is located. But, alas, our dream have no end, and the dream of the management goes much further than this. In fact, it is more than a dream; they will build, and build its construction. The plans, when carried out, will make the greater Idlewild a rival of both Atlantic City and Coney Island. The chautauqua and other cultural activities of Idlewild, it seems to us, will go far beyond anything of the kind which Atlantic City or Coney Island may offer. There will be an annual bathing beauties contest and comfortable hotels and good music, as at Atlantic City, and world-famous amusements, as at Coney Island. Then there are fine beaches along the great lake at Idlewild, one right off the Island, in front of the club house; and the sweet, clear, fresh waters of these highland lakes, of course, cannot be had at any ocean resort. There are plans for a theatre and moving pictures building; a great auditorium for summer conferences and conventions of all sorts, religious and secular; great Idlewild athletic field, which is the college and professional hall of the college of the University of New York; and international championship honors. We quote the following from a booklet by the founder, just being issued by the development company: "What Idlewild needs, and what this company proposes to supply, is a line of high-grade amusements, such as are found in other first-class resorts, and, if possible, some that are not found elsewhere; such as high-grade water sports, shoot the chutes, water horses, and similar devices, passenger motorboats and canoes, swings, roller skating, dancing pavilion, moving pictures, horseback HARMON'S DRY Can satisfy all your wants in fair Goods and Notions ALWAYS lotted.

In the matter of national and international athletics of colored contestants, it will be interesting to have the "hailus" at least played at the races, accommodated even basketball and golf. The resort also makes its appeal to health-seekers. We heard from several persons what seemed to us at first as exaggerated praise of what the water and air of Idlewild had done for them. But most of the stories of cures were vouched for by others. In addition to the woman who had come there years ago with a "hole in her lungs," and the man who had "lost his crutches" after a sojourn, many others testified to the health-restoring qualities of the out-of-doors, the fresh air and the pure water. It is also likely that the spiritual reinvigoration of this eminent companionship from all over the nation, has something to do with rebuilding the mind and the body. A hospital and trained nurse service has already been developed under the leadership of Dr. Dan Williams, world-famous Negro surgeon of Chicago. Dr. Williams has constructed for himself a beautiful cottage, estimated at $10,000, by the great lake, with a private boathouse, and a gasoline launch. Among the other prominent Americans who have made their recreation homes at Idlewild we can recall at this writing: Charles W. Chestnut, our first and perhaps greatest novelist; Ed Wright and L. B. Anderson, political leaders of Chicago; Jane Hunter, Cleveland; Allen E. Bush of the Mosaic Templars, Little Rock, Ark., and many other professional and business men.

Lesson for September 4 SOLOMON'S WISE CHOICE LESSON TEXT-T I Kings 3.4-15. SOLOMON'S WISE CHOICE who findeth the man that getteth understanding. PRIMARY TOPIC - Solomon's Wise Choice JUNIOR TOPIC—A Young Man's Wise Choice. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing Things Worth While. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Best Things in Life. Following the death of David, Solomon was aninted king (I Kings 1:5-40). David had failed to show the people who should be king after him (v. 20). Though an old man, he is attired into action by the combined appeals of Bathsheba and Nathan. He immediately sent for the faithful three-Zadok, Nathan and Benilah, and commanded them to appoint Solomon king 1. God’s Gracious offer (V. 4, 10). Solomon made a lavish sacrifice to the Lord in a way that shows that he had strong impulses toward God and that he was unwilling to hold anything back from God. Felipe told Solomon to him this gracious offer. This offer was not on the basis that the Lord cared for the number of animals, but he cared for the health of Solomon. “Ask what I shall give thee,” placed very wide possibilities before the king. God, as it were, signed Solomon to fill in any amount that his heart desired. This was not a reckless act of the God, for Solomon is no exception to his heart to ask. This offer to Solomon is no exception one, for opportunities equally limited are placed before him. Solomon asks of his Children, “Ask and it shall be given you.” The matter with its limitations is placed before in John that Solomon would words abide in you, he shall ask what he will, and it will be done unto you.” These unlimited offers are open to his words abide in them. 11. Solomon's Wise Choice (v. 64). The Lord's grace offers brought the king face to face with the rebellion. He was no middle course open to him. God deals with all His children in much a way that a choice must be made. He was aware of the difficulty and responsibility of his position. David was a skill of a young man to take up the work and push it to completion is a most difficult task. Comparatively few ever had to work with the disturbing elements which had been set in motion by the surprise. Adadhon. Being asked to shoulder so much work, he brought him to keenly feel his indulency. In his reply to God he pleaded that his being king was not of his own accord. He argued that, since kindness, he argued that, since God made him king, he was bound to qualify him to fill the place. All who were kindness, honor and trust can surely exercise that same kindness of faith. When called to positions of honor and trust, he practiced of honor and trust can surely serve for God help. To feel ourselves unworthy and unit for great and unselfish acts, and to act arduously, but a good sign that we shall not fall at the critical moment. Solomon's object in asking for wisdom was a display but for the good of others. III. God's Unintended Gift (vv. 10-15). Solomon's speech pleased the Lord. God gave him more than he asked. Because he put wisdom first, God that he could be trusted with material things he said. When he said, "Seek ree first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to God and spiritual things first in time and importance can be trusted with temporal things. That which God promised him above what he asked in the past can be trusted in all who feel the lack of wisdom can go to God with confidence (Jas. 1.3). God blessed Solomon with a singularly comprehensive mind (if Kings architect, poet and moral philosophy Christian Life *The perfection of the Christian life is to lose sight of oneself completely and to make everything of Child.* No Man His Own Master No man is his own master; he is either governed by Christ or governed by Satan—Echoes.

Galveston citizens have the highest respect him as being among its best citizens, and many of our best citizens are requesting the board of city commissioners occur, and, at any rate, the recommendation will have the effect that the veneration of his best citizen's next round-up-Harrison will be on the dot to push his claims to a finish.

The grave danger of "legalized" lynch-law—the practice of trying, convicting and assessing the extreme penalty upon some accused criminal under the influence of mobs or mob-spirit—has been very forcibly brought home to America within the last few days. The doctrine, particularly of the South, that any black man accused of a crime (particularly where a white woman is involved), is guilty before afforded a chance to prove his innocence, and that no evidence submitted or testimony adduced can change the guilt of the accused black chicipit, appears to have struck another serious snaag in the case of Maurice Mays of Tennessee. About eight years ago a white woman was murdered in Knoxville, Tenn., and Mays, an outstanding young colored man and admitted political factor in his city and section, was arrested and charged with having slain this white woman, purely on circumstance or "frame-up" evidence. Feeling was intense against Mays and a mobocratic demonstration was staged on the streets of Knoxville by the white hoodlums and savages who were lurking for meat. It appears that this same mobocratic spirit was manifested throughout the trial; for, despite that fact that Mays proved an abolition and the majority of residents of Knoxville did not believe him guilty of the crime; he was sentenced to the electric chair. A stiff legal battle ensued, but to no avail, as the young Negro was finally electrocuted for the alleged slaying of this white woman, though he wanted to his death asserting his innocence. Recently, according to news日报, Sade Mendil, white woman, confessed to the crime, and gave complete details leading up to, attending and subsequent to the killing. She stated that the skin Lindsey woman appeared to be intimate with her (Mrs. Mendil's) former husband; that she dressed in men's clothes, "BLAACKENED" her face, entered the Lindsey home one night and killed the woman as she lay in bed. Mays was arrested it was charged that he first criminally called the woman and demanded that he Mendil his fendish and bestial attack, slew the woman and fled from it. Although this white woman made this confession to the chief of police in an Ohio city, who wired the chief of police at Knoxville, Tennessee, to said effect, she was released from prison; the Knoxville police head holding to the point that Maurice Mays had paid the penalty for slaying the Lindsey woman, and that the criminal records of the Tennessee city, where the crime was persecuted, were made public. Of course, this belated confession can not help unfortunate Maurice Mays, nor can it do much to remove such stigma from our racial exscutcheon; since Mays' electrocution apparently satisfied the state, despite the fact that he was innocent of the crime and knew nothing about it. The mob-spirit cried and clamored for some "black brute" to be sacrificed—yea, lynched—as a burnt offering to Judge Lynch; the one who responded, the mobocratic urge and convulsive, cannonballing, was taken away because his skin was black and due to the peculiar American psychology which charges all brutal and heinous crimes at the door of some black person. In their efforts to save their son from the electric chair, and Mrs. Mays even mortgaged and hired their home to realize funds with which to employ counsel; and now we are informed by the self-founded murderer that her conscience has been troubled and that she was forced to make a confession and submit herself to arrest. Here is another grave danger of capital punishment, for if Mays' sentence had been life imprisonment, he could now be exonerated and liberated; but the poor fellow's body has returned to the prison, and his name is only a faint memory among the sons of men. SHOULD THE STATE OF TENNESSEE REFUSE TO ARREST, INDICT, TRY AND CONVICT THIS ALLEGED CONFESSOR MERELY BECAUSE MAYS, NOW PROVEN INNOCENT, EXPIATED WITH LIFE FOR THE CRIME? This confession and miscarriage of justice also raise another fine point, as to whether the state of Tennessee is not debtor to the Mays family for electrocuting an innocent man? This belated confession demonstrates the awful danger of and mob-law, whether of the illegalized or legalized species; for eviction is as dear, precious and sweet to him as the judge presiding on the case, prosecuting attorney or jurors sitting in judgment on the case. WE WONDER HOW THESE WHITE JURORS AND JUDGE FEEL NOW, SINCE IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT THE BLACK WHOM THEY SENTENCED AND SENT TO HIS UNTIMELY DEATH, HAD NO PART IN THIS MURDER? It is just faacios and abortions of justice as this which cause people to lose faith in and respect for constituted authority, and which render and maintain our supposed temples of justice mere illusion through and by which the mob-spirit can legally be invoked through and employed against members of a weaker and less fortunate race. Juice a few days ago a colored lad of 16 or 17 summers, Ed Joslin of Victorin, Texas, was electrocuted at the state penitentiary at America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Huntsville for an alleged criminal attack upon a 7-year old white girl. The youngest person ever to be electrocuted in Texas, went to his death protesting his innocence, and it would be a terrible and hideous indictment against this state were the facts later disclosed that this Negro boy did not commit this fledish act. Furthermore, the object and purpose of penal institutions to reform and remake criminals into decent citizens, and not to destroy their lives or torture their physical bodies. Yet we boast of a Christian democracy, which seems to be void of the fundamental teachings of the Lowly Nazarene, who believed in the power of man and a chance, despite his or her racial connection or social status. The Informer is unalterably opposed to capital punishment, particularly where the accused is indicted and convicted on circumstantial evidence—as in the Mays case, which has now taken the no amount of reasoning or argument could sway the prejudiced mobsters who sat in judgment upon Maurice Mays in 1919, but a greater law than the criminal statute of Tennessee—the law of retribution, which is inexorable, immutable and cosmic—has automatically involved itself to show the felony and danger of "guided" lynch-law in this reputed enlightened and civilized country. A mayful heavensly Father show mercy and pity and forgiveness to those men who sat in judgment upon Maurice Mays, and may this epitaph be inscribed upon the unfortunate conqueror's tombstone: SACRIFICED TO THE CRUEL AND MURDERS LEGALIZED LYNCH-LAW OF CHRISTIAN AMERICA. GAIL Phone 308 Note: All Gail is Tuesday of PETITION REINFORCE FOR PATROL The many friend Henry regret to tell that a civil war has been removed, there is no removal, there is no high estimation of white and colored george is true to the man he is being called to the core royal order in the conqueror's confidence in him as being among the many of our best captains in the board of the conqueror's house. and occurs, and IS BAPTIST "BOSSISM" DOOMED? After witnessing the overwhelming re-election of Dr. J. E. Knox of Houston, as president of the Baptist State Sunday School Convention in the Macedonia Baptist Church at Dallas, last Thursday, this query arose in our journalistic mind. Dr. Knox, formerly president of Houston College, local Baptist institution of learning, and himself one of the best prepared men of the race, was ousted as head of this school through the efforts of Rev. A. L. Boone of Fort Worth, pastor of Mount Gilead Baptist Church and president of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, who, as titular head of the convention which owns, operates and controls Houston College, is chairman of the board of directors of said school. When this board met during last May President Boone informed the members that Dr. Knox had to be removed from the presidency of Houston College; and, when Dr. Knox's removal or discharge (discharge is one thing and removal is another, as the Baptists will perhaps discover before settling this particular matter) had been accomplished, it is charged that Rev. Boone immediately served notice on Dr. Knox that he (Boone) would bring out a candidate and defeat Dr. Knox as president of the State Sunday School Convention. The report further goes that the minister chosen and appointed by "Boss" Boone to defeat Dr. Knox traveled considerably over Texas and sought votes and support from ministers and laymen, and the report was circulated that Dr. Knox would again feel the Boone "hie stick" at the Dallas convention. This report and the prospect of a fight naturally attracted a large crowd to the meeting in Dallas last week, the largest (and most orderly) attendance in the convention's recent history. The scene was really laid for Dr. Knox's re-election even before he delivered his annual address, and at the conclusion of this yearly message he was given the greatest and most volcanic demonstration ever accorded a religious leader in the state of Texas. Men, women and children yelled themselves hoarse and Dr. Knox was lifted on the shoulders of his masculine supporters and transported over the church auditorium. He was literally showered with flowers and gifts, and bedlam was go pronounced that adjournment had to be taken to afford the messengers and visitors a chance to "cool off." When a motion prevailed to suspend the rules and by-laws and go into the election of a president for the ensuing year, instead of the Boone faction placing their candidate in nomination, Rev. Boone raised a point of order that a speech nominating Dr. Knox was out of order, for the reason that a motion to suspend the rules was not approved. Vice-President W. F. Bledsoe, Sr. Marshall, who is also national and state grand master of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, who was presiding, ruled that the nomination speech by Rev. Curry was not a discussion of the motion, which had previously carried, but was proper and in order. After Dr. Knox had been renominated and no one could be found to nominate Rev. Harrington of Austin, Rev. Boone's avowed candidate, the Knox followers yelled to the Boone adherents to "trot out your man!" The man was never traced out and thus a motion prevailed that Dr. Knox be re-elected by acclamation, which was done without a dissenting vote; or if there were a dissenting vote, it was lost in the storm of "yeas" for the Houstonian. Having literally "cleaned up" some force in this tilt last week, he was in the minds of Baptists said convention now is, "Will Boone be able to put over his candidate as his (Boone's) successor as state president in October?" Dr. Knox has accepted a call to the pastorate of a large Baptist church at Cleveland, Ohio, and must relinquish his presidential portfolio when the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention meets during October. It is stated that he has a certain North Texas pastor sated as his (Boone's) auxiliary in order that the Boone policies might still obtain in the state organization and work. Will this man (some say he is Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor Macedonia Baptist Church of Dallas) be able to stem the tide and land the office, or will the anti-Boone faction employ a steamroller with the same dexterity and deadly effect as was done in relecting Dr. Knox as president of the Sunday School Convention last year. Does the Knox victory sound the death-knail to Baptist "bossiness" in this state, and has the day passed when Baptist ministers and laymen are to exercise their denominational and constitutional rights and preraggotatives? Does the Knox denomination need a "big stick" wielder in this state, or a tyrannical boss and religious czar? These and many other questions are not only being proposed by leading Baptists of the Lone Star State, but all eyes are now turned towards the forthcoming state convention to ascertain the final outcome of this bitter internal denominational fight. The Informer is not particularly interested in any internal, racial fight, but this paper believes that the work of this faction of Texas Baptists can not prosper and succeed as long as a carnal spirit dominates and actuates those who hold responsible positions, and as long as politics plays a bigger part in denominational activities and programs than prayer. The Baptist church is the outgrowth of a protest movement and its leaders are charism, oppression and plutocracy; and it is in不善 with the genius, polity, tenets, principles and traditions of this historic church to meekly submit to a "big stick" tyrannical leadership.
