THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1927 Oppression Lies Deeper Than Any Color Prejudice J. Special to The Informer. "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."

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.

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. 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.

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.
