ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICH Elks Launch Health Survey NEGRO BARES DIXIE OUTRAGES We do not mean to say nor infer that Negro lawyers, physicians and medical carecago, Detroit and other Northern cities; but the field is over-crowded and in need of more training, those succeeding who have the "longest line" or "best pull". Even with all its injustices and inequities, the black clientele fortile field for Negro business and professional members of the Negro race better opportunity for service and professional members of the North and East. We are lacking fundamentally wrong and defective with any educational system or training which inculcates into the minds of the products a desire to serve and a desire to ago the line of least resistance and thereby fall to render the type of service which the race diligently to urgently and woulful need. The Negro race needs more men like himself to equip his people elected to endure and suffer the hardships with his own people in Egypt, security, luxury and care, and ease incident to a life in Pharaoh's place and court. Finally, he only lives who serves humanity best, and the true and accurate test of a successful career is in the social practice, in the enjoyment of the ephemeral things of this world, nor even in the full and free liberties of service in the constitutional rights, in the real barometer of a successful career is to what extent one can help those in need of the services to render to render. Rather than sociability, should be rather than vengeance, vading influence among dominant Negroes who are capable of performance and social betterment. DALLAS' RAPE CASE Accused of criminal aftack upon his 11-year-old stepdaughter, a white man has been arrested and remanded to jail without bail at Dallas, the alleged bestial attack-taking place during the absence of the man's wife from the city. It will be interesting to note what action the state will take in this case, especially in view of the fact that a Negro youth, accused of criminal attack upon a white girl, was executed at the state penitentiary a few days ago. Many such cases, where white men have been involved, have never gone to trial; yet the white South charges and labels the black man as a brute and rapist by nature, all the while losing sight of the fact or refusing to see and admit it, that some of the most bestial, atrocious and shocking crimes are committed by members of other races. As a matter of fact, Negroes, as a general rule, do not have sufficient time to conjure and plan crimes like members of other races in this country; for to be an expert in any line, one must have plenty of time to devote to his calling. No one race in this country has a monopoly on all the virtues, and no one race is burdened with all the vices. Criminality is not a matter of color, creed or class; and, before A NEGRO BRIS---CIRCUMCISION Record Broken In Houston Dentist's Retention of Post M. B. DR. WALDO J.

GOLDBERG In B'Nai B'Rith Magazine Jews—all kinds of Jews—Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern; Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Yementite Jews—and still; the list is incomplete. For there is at least on more to be added to the list—the colored Jew. That is, the Negro Jew of Harlem, who lives in the heart of New York's colored belt. To be sure, we have heard of black Jews before. Years ago the world learned about Negro Jews who lived in Abyssinia, in Africa. The news was especially interesting because the reigning family of the country claimed Habrale descent. Abyssinia, they maintained, is the Sheba of biblical times and the queen of Sheba bore a son unto David, whom she named Yelinek. This tallies somewhat with the Talmudic legend of a son being born to Solomon by the queen of Sheba. Dr. Jacob Feitelovich was dispatched to Abyssinia by the French government. His detailed report dealt with a group of some twenty thousand souls known as Falashas. They look like other Abyssinians. Dr. Feitelovich said, but profess a fifth black man and labeling the entire race as being indolent, vicious and criminal, it would be well for our white friends critics to give their own race the same or even HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1927 Colored Fraternity To Expend $5,000 On Infant Mortality Commission—Race's High Death Rate Precipitated Heated Discussion At Recent Conclave In New York City—Movement Will Help Negro Group and Social Order (By the Associated Negro Press) New York City—One of the closing acts of the Elks 28th annual convention was the voting of $5,000 to the Infant Mortality Commission for purpose of studying health conditions, especially as regards sanitation and hotling. (In the U.S. B. C. Bureau of Census, Washington, D. C. All members of the commission did agree, however, that the infant mortality was a serious problem, and that the colored home life rate is also much higher. Dr. Fisher declared that no mission that colored health conditions, so far as relating to sanitation and the collection of medical data, was a good fit to the worse. Contrary to the improving and improved health, the improvements of Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistics of the American Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Dr. Jackson said: "Conservative students of public health conditions in America are not alarmed by the changes in the health of the people. Strictly speaking, health cannot be considered in terms of race, but rather in terms of economics, environment and transportation. (Scientists today are generally agreed that there is no such thing as true racial immunity or racial subsistence, because the disease is not a real thing, and the white is an exaggeration, as the ATLANTA LIFE OFFICERS DUE HERE WEEK-END ATLANTA LIFE OFFICERS DUE HERE WEEK-END Houston will be host to two officers of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia, Saturday when N. E. H. Bernedon, acting president of the company and son of the late A. P. H. Fernedon, lamented present president of the company and E. M. Martin, secretary, visit the local office, located at 603 Prairie Ave. and C. A. building, Smith and Smith). These officers are on a good-will and inspection tour of Texas and the country while in a South Texas. Plans been laid to accord these distinguished visitors a cordial reception while they are accompanied by those formed to meet a large group of race business and professional men in Hawthorne, Houston. Both men are apparently young men and have literally grown similar to the Jewish. Possibly theirs is the Jewish religion as it was prior to the establishment of the Palashas are an impoverished, deprived and oppressed caste in Abyssinia. The Alliance Israelite under the leadership of the Palashas and to open schools for them. There are about 50,000 Palashas in Abyssinia, which has a total population of about 100,000. The Palashas almost the only working population of the country. Some engage in farming and others are are engaged in agriculture adjacent to the native Abyssinians who do some farming, but who for the most part are the soldier of the Palashas. The Palashas have a dissonant social dissension. Almost existed between the Palashas and the native Christians of the Palashas has also become more favorable since Dr. Felicovich has exerted his influence in outskirts of the colored belt of New York. They keep to themselves, however, and make no approaches to the Jewish. They identify themselves with the other Negro Jews in their vicinity. In fact, Palashas shan the Negro Jews in the Christians. The Palashas do not claim to be Jews. They do not pretend to be Jews. They are Palashas or Christians. They are Palashas or Christians. and that there are no substantiating records of vital statistics. All members of the commission did agree, however, that the infant mortality rate is twice that of the whites, and that the colored homicide rate is also much higher. He noted that no conclusions were reached on whether mission that colored health conditions, so far as relating to sanitation and hygiene, were improved or contrainshe, he stated that they are improving and offered as proof, the records of the American Society for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Dr. Jackson said: "Conservative states have not been able to protect America are not alarmed by the present mortality rate among colored Americans, and health cannot be considered in terms of economics, environment and education." He generally agreed that there is no such thing as true racial immunity, or racial suspicion in disease, except in a relative sense."

Boston, Mass.—(ANP)—A scene of tragedy-pathos was enacted in Lynn court last Wednesday, when Thomas Murphy, age 83, of Florida, just across the border from Cornelia, Georgia, unfolded the story of his life, involving his accumulation of wealth up to $500,000, and his subsequent fleeing from his home and property to escape the wrath of the Ku Klux Klan. Pillage and murder stalked in the wake of his financial successes. According to his story, his house was burned to the ground and his daughter and wife were found dead. Murphy's weird story brought listeners in court back to the slave days of the "Old South," and uncovered the sinister activities of the Ku Klux Klan-controllers of the present order of things in Dixie.

The Texas educator spoke on "Trends in the opinion that "there is a decided trend among our students in second-order education of critical thinking, self-expression and freedom. In that connection, that nothing has happened in the Negro schools of America since the beginning of the 19th century that was more significant than the speech delivered by Dr. DuBois at the election of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson to the presidency of Howard University. In the course of the address, Mr. Rhoads referred to the "unfortunate policy and practice of suppressing the highest spiritual virtues of youth. They subdued it, and rather than an liberate it, and made sure the responsibilities of adult life in a democratic social order with its aspiries, they should be high-minded, high-minded, high-minded." Mr. Rhoads did graduate study in the University of Michigan Summer School and presented a thesis on the history of the Mexican Opinion. He won high scholarship honors at Yale University during the school year 1922-1923. He is a graduate of the Yale Texas, high school, and Bishop College, also located at Marshall.

The first task of Solomon after his coronation was the building of a temple to his father, David. In his preparation for this task he secured wood from King Hiram of Israel, the stones he used for the temple, and the skilled workmen also from King Hiram. It was located on Mount Moriah (Ul Chron. 3.1). The suitable location was near the Lord and appeared here to Abraham. Its dimensions were 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet wide. The temple was built on the laver, the golden candlesticks and chariubus. The dedication of the temple was arranged to take place at an altar. The dedicatory services consisted of: 1. Bringing Up the Ark (vv. 1-11) The ark of the covenant was typical of the Jewish temple through Jesus Christ (John 1:14). The ark was God's holy dwelling place. This, therefore, must be brought up and installed for a representative gathering of the manifestation of the divine presence was the real dedication. When the house of God was to be dedicated, the angel was for a representative gathering of the elders, princes and heads of the tribes. There were many great men appointed ministers, moved the ark, the fatal experience of Uzzoh in David's time was doubtless clear in his writings. The blunder of his father. Connected with this service was a very great sacrifice, one in keeping with the occasion. The mercy the mercy seat shows God manifesting Himself to His people on the ground of a law perfectly kept and obeyed, and blood. At the completion of the sacrifice, the temple was filled with the glory of the Lord. The son of Moses's Address to the People (vv. 12-11). He points out to the people that God had chosen David to be king, yet for certain reasons he would not allow him to build the temple, promising that God would build it, that the work was done, the temple was built and the ark of the covenant was in its place, they could be assured that God had raised him up in the room for his father. Theoloemus' Dedicatory Prayer (fr. 22.22). The ark having never been placed in the most holy place, and the address to the people being ended, the king pours out his soul to God in prayer. In this prayer Solomon gratefully acknowledges God's goodness in the past, giving glory to Him, and pleads that His promise to his father be verified (vv. 22-28); he prays that God's eyes might be continually open toward the temple which He had now taken possession of (vv. 27-33); so that (1) in case of contention between parties He would judge between them (vv. 81, 32); (2) in case of being smitten by the enemy, even though they had allied, upon confession of the same God would forgive and restore (vv. 83, 34); (3) in case of famine as chastisement for sin, upon confession and prayer before the temple, God would forgive and send rain (vv. 85, 36); (4) in case of pestilence and sickness, if they pray to God toward the temple, God should hear and forgive (vv. 87-40); (5) in case of the coming of the foreigner who comes at the news of God's greatness, and prays toward Jerusalem, his prayers should be heard (vv. 41-43); (6) in case of going out to battle, their cause should be maintained (vv. 44, 45); (7) in case of being in captivity because of sin, God should hear their prayers and restore (vv. 46-53).

Another agency, one of the largest philanthropic boards, is seriously considering making a contribution to the support of the "Foundation for Study of Prohibition and the Negro," which was established at Wiley last year for the purpose of gathering, collating and publishing data regarding the effect of prohibition on the Negro. These two features will constitute an important phase in the future educational program at Wiley and will occupy a place on the same high plane with the course in race relations which has given Wiley considerable prestige throughout the country.

Barker, also Men's Christian Association in the Willow junior high of that city, were in Houston last week—and look over the field and compare numbers. Mr. Mitchell, having been trained for the field of journalism, subscribed to the training school and after completion of the course for religious service, decided to enter this field. He is more than a graduate editor of the New Orleans publication. While in South Texas the Meers Mitchell and Barker also made a trip to Galveston. They were very favorably impressed with what they saw in Houston, particularly the modern plant of the Webster-Richardson Pub. Co., Inc., the homes of the Real Building and Loan Association, Odd Fellows and Pilgrims' temples and local Negro business progress, generally.

DOGAN, President. Negro district, was poor, clean and neat. On a chair were seated two children, a girl and a poy, waiting and trembling, like Joe's children before the bris of a new-born brother. As is the case in Jewish families, these children disappeared from the room when the ceremony began. On the table were a few Akenasi prayer books, new books, apparently just brought home from the store. Gradually the crowd gathered. Tall, broad-shouldered, slender Negroes; all dressed in their Sunday clothes. They spoke with a West Indian accent and among them were a doctor, a lawyer and a white woman, (Irish it seemed) who had married a Negro Jew and had become the leading woman in the congregation. A husky blooming Negro with a round, jovial face entered the room. He was the rabbi, just returned from his vacation and telling about it. Any told how he got along without any money at all. Any freight train, he said, would take him to Atlantic City, and once there he could get along easily enough. A few white Jews were present—a Rabbi Magnus, an acquaintance of Rabbi Ford; another Jew who was familiar with everyone and apparently often visited the Negro synagogue; the mohel and some others. The Negroes felt at once humiliated and exalted. They received so much praise from the to the few white Jews who knew ever so much more about this ceremony. The white rabbi and the model woman put on a show of nonchalance that characterizes their performance in other Jewish homes, but one white woman's importance in comparison with the Negro-Jews, assumed command of the entire scene. He mounted himself on a throne and continued to teach the Negroes how to conduct themselves religiously. He displayed utter ignorance of the Negroes, making too plain their lack of knowledge. One felt an urge to take him by the collar and throw him out the I had in mind a number of questions to ask the Negro Jews, but when I was among them these questions would not leave my mouth. After all, they are not our kind of Jews; they are constantly being subjected to cross-examination by any stranger for no reason at all. They replied politely to the few questions I did put to them, but one was aware that they were humiliated by the interrogation much as any man would be if some stranger approached and inquired into his personal life. Furthermore, I could not bannish the thought—would I come to white Jews on the occasion of a bris and place them under investigation? There was little to ascertain. The Negro Jews come principally from the South, where they claim, they were Jews and their parents and grandparents before them—not practicing Jews, perhaps, because they came from America, on coming to America, they returned to the faith of their forefathers. That negroes were Negro Marranos. In some districts of the West Indies, though, the Negro inhabitants were never subservient to the Negroes, themselves and segregated from other Negroes, they remained Jews. Their rabbi promulgated the American Negroes were Jews by faith in the forests of Africa, but just as they were Negroes in the Southern plantations, they also lost their religion, the brief took time and the conversation the brief took time. The Negro Jews say they have "come back"—they will not be called proselytes. They are not only Jews today, but also Christians. They had been Catholic but saw the light and learned that the only God is the God of Jesus, except strangers who had embraced Judah. All the others were absolutely sure of their Hebraic des The Negro Jews have a mystic conception religion, which they use粘土 religiously to explain the meaning. They speak in the language of the Hebrew, and the language of theology sounds one of the theocophe writings—words, phrases, generalizations of the Hebrew, and the expression of anything specific but are the expressions a striving of the "dumb tongue" of a bare that is beyond words. And, too, they are greatly wrought with a large extent in anti-Christian. Their attitude, toward Jesus is much more a large extent in anti-Christian. Their attitude, toward Jesus is much more a large extent in anti-Christian. At times it is even stutter. That is probably a reaction of the overabundance of professed love for Jesus at The Negroes are very serious about being a slave, the least mitvaa as the most important. Just now they are trying to get money for a Torah. They hope to finally have to teach our Hebrew school. The bible ceremony went through in the church, upon a white pillow, was passed from person to person and in a glove of reliquary. The black faces of these stalkwart Negroes, standing erect as if on mili- tary duty. The women were gathered in one corner, apart from the men, who wagged at the top, cap of Jewish women, with white Jewish women do at a bral. Finally the baby was placed in the lap of Rabbi Ford, who was "Sandiikah" Hilliell Jehoshua and pronounced the blessing of "bringing his son into the covenant of our Father Jesus" and blooded Negro refer to old Abraham as father, but only shows how difficult it is to be a Jewish man, for wasn't Abraham also a spiritual father? After the bris, wine, whisky and cake were served. Even the Lithuanians were so proud of Negro Jews evidently consider the herring an essential part of the bris ceremony. Perhaps it is the tradition of the Jewish months of a people who came out of Africa, slaved in the West Indies, and hope to lead a free life in America. (Note: The Editor of The Informer is indebted to Judge J. D. Jannenbaum, one of the leading juries and Jews of Houston, for this article, and to the authors of issues of a nationally known Jewish magazine.

He voluntarily reimbursed his judgement in order to resume the practice of his legal profession. Wonderful Traits Of Our Ancestors: The Bongo Tribes BY DRUSILLA DUNEE HOUSTON (For The Associated Negro Press) There is as much prejudice IN the Negro race as we declare is without. We have grown accustomed to contending races and hold our own. In the races of Africa, we can answer some of the questions that unnerved us in America. We have growing class distinctions, the "Lily Whites," the "High Brown," and the "Blacks," ignoring the fact that fancying that superiority can come out of color of skin. This has been the fatal mistake of the white man. We will eradicate it from the race. We have pictured for you some of the black and fair tribes of Africa, and the white and red tribes of this article, the Bongo. It will go far to show that great intelligence and genius can be found in all of the vaudeville acts, the comedy, a man out of hair, or color of skin. It is out of this notion that white races are degenerating. The Bongo can be seen in medium size in stature and have short, woolly hair, that never grows longer than an inch. They build houses and are skillful iron-workers. Once these people had large villages and extensive lands that were buried and desolated their country (for they are a docile agricultural people, and not like the black Dinka, who need to be buried with the docile nature that we find genius and intelligence. Though two small population have been destroyed they must have been a remarkable race in earlier ages. They care not only pony, dog and goat, but only pony, dog, and goat. Once their extensive villages were surrounded by palisades. Their homes were built in the shape of an island in shape. The diameter is twenty feet, with a hard, perfectly smooth surface. From uterus deficient tools, to our military deficient results in the manipulation of iron. They fabricate iron products from the earth, and the dections of the English mills. These products sell all along the Upper Nile. In 1824 Major Denham found them and adorned them with ornaments of admirable quality. The Bongos are, Schweinfurth tells us, scarcely inferior in wood-casting. They carve figures that are not idols, as we have been told, but memorials of past great ancestors. They are remarkable basket weavers. They weave bee-hives from which they take large quantities of honey. The women, without a potter's wheel, produce smooth, artistically ornamented potter. They have original and ingenious games. The men wear an apron, the women nothing but a girdle. They seem just a little in advance of their Aryan sisters. There are no marriages before eighteen for the boy and fifteen for the girl. (Reclus, "Africa", p. 109). Jerome Dowd tells us in his "Negro Reasons" that the Bongos even down to the small boys are all musicians. They are�red themselves on anything about which they may be thinking in song. Which one of us could do this? Their musical instruments are very numerous and varied, including drums, tam, reed pipe, triangles, trumpets, flutes, harps, guitars, fidings, castanets, etc. (vol. 1, p. 341). These are bronze Negroes with prominent Negro features and with all the noisiness of some of our types, but they are full of talents.

GALVESTON DEPARTMENT The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell you plainly just how and why his goods are worthy of your consideration. You can learn a great deal from that alone, because many things you see advertised are the things you use and in use in your daily life by reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most useful. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot about, good music, good books, good food, good clothes, ways to keep healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the house and grounds looking well—they've learned all those things. Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a great deal that will be helpful and valuable to you as you go through life. The Sewer, in the parable, cast his seed to the winds of heaven. That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the harren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertisers does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground" in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers considerably the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish. LET'S BE SAFE! We have been informed that our street commissioner, Hem. E. H. Ivy, found it necessary to dismiss all of the colored men in the street department, and regrettable when we take into consideration that the men dismissed were common laborers, about all that the average colored man could hope to do as an employee of the department meant little or nothing to the commissioner's political status. We, therefore, come to the conclusion that these men were dismissed because they were inefficient. If this is the reason, then our people should not be put over any job satisfactorily. The wholesale' dismissals of the people from their employment by the city might be looked upon with alarm. Who knows who will be next lead set by our street department. The evils of unemployment are too well-known by all thinking citizens, and we think it but proper and prudent that our people begin at once that warlords will make their jobs secure. It sometimes happens that color is employed to put over a job, but in most instances an employer hires abilities. The reliable, faithful and willing employee has no fear about holding a job, the fear of being fired, the shift, the failure employee naturally lives in fear of being found out. The faithful, faithful service, save your money, invest in business and buy yourselves homes, invest in education and the economic value as a group here in Galveston increase; and our fitness to work increases. Commercial activities be assured. ISLAND CITY LOCALS Mrs. Willa Brown, Sealy, was the teacher, Mrs. C. K. Jones, on Labor Day. Dr. and Mrs. T. M.

The two bacon who believe in his innocence. The light lied for several years against the Kovnilley Town, auctioneer, and Mantilla Maya as were the authorities in Massachusetts to execute the two radians. Just as in the case of the two Italian radials, so in the case of May, the Negro, there was another strong mightive in the minds of the judges, the jury and the rest of the court which biased them toward a verdict of guilty; in the Sacco-Vanzetti case it was the violation of the will of the majority by radicalism or anreahism; in the case of Marriott, May, it was the violation of the will of the mass of the public about interracial matters. That is, May, it was whispered about the court and through the official channels, had been intimate with the white woman. Therefore, whether he murdered her or not "he ought to be killed." “Now a white woman in Ohio confuses that she herself killed the other woman, because the other white woman was taking the affections of the killer's husband.” Another paralig [Just as the autobipent] was Massachusetts would pay no attention to the criminal who confessed that he and his gang did the murder for which the two Italians were believed, so now police authorities at Knoxville, Tenn., on being told that a woman who was in Knoxville at the time of the murder, but who is now in Ohio, has confessed to killing the woman for whom May was executed, simply send word back to Ohio that Maurice says has paid the money for the crime and that records show no charge against the woman.” Of course, it is too late for the woo- dow. But the truth is that the Knoxville the Knoxville knowledge that it is not too late to "save their faces" is not true. They know that just to man. Then, they will have to man. Then, they will Sacco and Vanzetti Dead Their cases have now passed beyond human affairs, so far as they were two persons; but as EMLEMS and SYMOLIS they are mightier than they could ever have hoped to become as living men.

Radicals are a million times more dead than alive. The thunder's minds among their enemies will not lose the opportunity. And now these two humble Italians, born under no lucky stars as it seems, are now the mountaineers to mountaineering pilgrims in the two mountains, symbols of the martyrdom of their class—and when they reclaim the Italy in 1312, they are in carcass in castles plunged in gold and stained in diamonds. As names, they will live longer than any of their ancestors. Pan-Africans Close Sessions Some day soon we are going to meet the first president of the Corps of Horses Sense. We heard a great deal of the first collection of horse psychology at the Congress, and we are very excited. conditions drawn therefrom, which the facts hardly justify. The Congress was very informing, the "instruction" talks from African migrants geography by W. Byrne, who was by W. Byrne, could hardly be equalled in any university halls anywhere in the world, but the "dark continent" after this flood of light was turned on it. The university, like several societies of differing views of life were present conservatives, radicals, "mindless" and nothing-at-all. When the Congress was meeting the hardheaded conservatives aquealed their complaints, they sometimes complained, they sometimes A general committee was formed, looking toward permanent organization, and especially toward the fifth year of the organization, years from now. The committee used the usual amount of politics, but not more than the usual amount. With so varied, and at times, so fermenting a group, it was decided that the committee would like irregularity in any of the proceedings took place. It was noticeable that some white people attended the meetings. The Economic Foundation It is cleaner than ever to those who listened to represent Negroes from different parts of the Caribbean in the economic: In West Africa it is the independence of the native cocoa farmer on a foreign land in the transportation "tax" can lower or raise the income of the local farmer. He is literate at the local level. In the Mississippi Valley it is the landlessness and the low wages and the consequent weakness and helplessness in the islands of the Caribbean; and besides, the trading tyranny of the European sovereign is added low income. Somebody spoke up for better guns, but it is evident that military power is; in the last analysis, closely bound to the war. The United States was in 1913 apparently a third-rate military power, but under the stress of a war its great economic strength was lost. It was one of the biggest and certainly the most enduring of the military powers. We then got a start that made it possible to stay at sea, and an ambiption to stay at navy. In many places, particularly in the British West Indies, the "political" power in the island is in the mouth with no economic power. Somebody said: "The English say to their subject blazer: You can eat the money, you can enjoy all the rights and privileges that we white English enjoy," and then the Engle-ish man says: "I cannot get the money. It reminds us of the joke by Miller and Lyle, or the joke by Miller and Lyle, said, when humgy and starving: "We could make some sandwiches if we had some bread—if we had some bread—if we had some impoverished West Indian Indian colored people can live just like the English in the money—if they get the money.

Bache's wife ran off with an another man, a policeman, and staged five months. She deserved home, hone hand, and young son in Plainfield, Jersey. Now she goes to come back! Should he take her back? That is a question which one cannot answer for another. It is hard enough to answer such a question for oneself. But some reflections are in order. Because women have been physically weaker, with the handicap of their end of the perpetuation of the human race, man has always taken the advantage and woman has never had an "equal break." A thousand thousand times have women taken back their men when the man had done all they. But the old, and more. Man has taken advantage of the physical weakness of women just as a stronger race takes advantage of a weaker. It is to be noted that whenever a stronger or has domination over a weaker, greater self-control and more punctilious observance of law and custom are required of the weaker than of the stronger. Many things tend to become right or indifferent for the strong to do which are regular in capital crimes for the weak. In America, Negroes are told that their whole race must stop committing any crimes before it can expect not to be lynched. An impossible hope. Nobody ever supposes that the white race must stop committing crimes in order not to be lynched. In the South Negro men are lynched or murdered without redress for associating with which women are that women are full consent, but which women only keep colored women, sometimes with the reluctant submission of the woman. And there is another parallel between this case of woman and the other case of man, in the orders. The oppressed individuals are hypercritical of each other. It is often noted that other women are severely oppressed. The man. They are almost merciless about violations of sex and marriage orders for a man. So do Negroes often express greater condemnation of the "manners" than of the white man who is a much greater and more oppressive man. To come as much from the white man we have that Mrs. Bache is a "coward for running away from a 15-year-old son. God! If that be true, the male of the woman is certainly more oppressive than much of the other woman to do the women stick by the young, in desertion and in pursuit away: he does not have to run away. He does as he pleases and does as he pleases and as he pleases. Bache's case to a jury of two men or of twelve men for that matter, and make it a law that all women must obey, to essence what Mrs. Bache did, can vote against her; but that those women can vote for her, every jury that could be imprisoned would be a "hung jury," because the truth—and woman knows it.

Having learned the barber trade, like A. F. Herron, who passed away a few weeks ago, he opened a shop in his home town. He learned to read books, and was a civil engineer, wife, and later in life established the Indianapolis Freeman, which was, for a number of years, one of the most wildly-known and read newspapers by Negroes. He was the prominent figure in the newspaper world, and in public life. While he had given up publishing, he was forced to circulate his magazine.

Last year Coach Johnson produced a well drilled team of excellent results. With additional team relationship, and a keen desire to re- late to the team's success, one might expect excellent results from the noted Nawalwil school, Gree- ce, and a splendid athlete.

Four conference games out of an eight game schedule have been carved out. The game that does not get underway until October 22 when it plays its opening game Simmons University at Nahville. Morehouse College has arranged a very attractive schedule, and with it the opportunity to attend at the belm, the Marcone team may be counted upon to take the field stronger than it has been in several years. The players are Brown, Allen, Howard, Alabama State Normal and Clark in the order named during the season, and the Tuckeegee Tiger will be in Atlanta on November 19. It is expected that this game will attract football fans from all sections of the state. Talladega will have Cooper, the forward passing ace, in the backfield, and James in the fundamentals of pass- THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1927 ing and receiving, and by the time Tuskegee and Talladega met on Illaby Field, on November 20, last year, the passing outfit of the Kindle coached machine was working like oil. The prospects are good for a successful eleven at Talladega. Coach Kindle has been in the summer and may be expected to have returned from Springfield well stocked with excellent football ideas. There should be plenty of fight in the line and the backfield should stack up well with other conference teams. The Florida A. & M. College ought to have an improved team this year. At the close of last season Coach Reynolds's group star, had built up a team that was going to be with the same material and with the usual enthusiasm and interest that the Florida institution puts into the game, the "Alligator" supporters are confident of a successful season. It will take an exceptionally strong team to defeat State Normal, an eleven that is looked upon as possibly as the best of the confidence honors. With Campbell, Johnson, Moore, Hall, Garner and others of splendid ability in the line-up, State Normal will show class. Bertrand J. Jacobs, clever Hampton Institute quarterback, will head up the coaching staff. Gaston F. Lewis, four letters from Wilford, will serve as a line coach. C. Johnson, Shunn and G. H. Lockhart will also assist with the eleven. Taukegue is not expected to be as formidable last year, but its backfield, halfback, halfback halfback, Ernest T. Bailley, will no doubt keep the Tigers in the run-up to the playoffs. It is hoped the Tigers will be serious contenders for the conference crown. The destinies of the athletic activities will be entrusted, little can be said about them. The team made a good showing. This year, with the same players, together with replacements, and under the guidance of the Brown would have presented a formidable aggregation of good team at Atlanta University is very bright.

GOETHE IS VICTOR OVER TUT JACKSON By CHARLES O'NEAL International Garage, Kansas City, Kansas City, Mo.—Fighting under the auspices of the *Dundee* Community Hospital, he got Tudson Jackson, Washington Court House, Ohio, as artistic a lacing as he did the ropes in the first round, laid Goethe baffled, and put him on the floor for the court of four minutes. In the second and third rounds, he was punished with blows to the stomach and chin and clearly outwitted by run, punishing him with blows to the stomach and chin in the fourth round, from his corner in the fourth round, and administered a terrific hit to his midsection. Jackson, holding to the neck, was encircled around "Bill's" neck, was booed by the crowd and warned The fifth, sixth and seventh rounds found both men fighting hard, with the edge to Goethe. A series of jabs in the eighth round had Goethe's eye half-closed and bleeding, but his hard uppercuts to Jackson's mouth and chin had the claret streaming down his jaw, but he recuperated quickly and ended the round in good shape. The semi-windup between Jackie Moore of New York and "Dummy" Williams of Denver, was one of the fastest meles ever seen in Kay-See. Throughout the entire ten rounds both boys stood too to toe, and battled from one corner to the other. "Dummy" has long been considered the best boy of his weight around these parts, but the experience of Jackie was too much for the local lad, and he won by a clear margin. Both boys weighed 128 pounds. The only knockout on the evening's program was accomplished by Jack Menle, who knocked his opponent out in the fifth round of the six round contest.

During this time I have covered the principal points in the state and have conferred with men in all walks of life who know most about local conditions. There are absolutely no racial troubles in the South, if one is to judge by the assurances which come from all sides by citizens of the several communities. I can recall visiting forty cities in the South and in each I am assured that this particular city is the best community in the South; that the relation between the races is peaceful, friendly and hopeful. The local citizenry seems to know nothing of or to quickly forget the occurrences of fierce racial枪战, or of which the most important is the great-grandson of the South who has been the only and least leased in the dally and weekly payor. The greatness cities in Texas told me that he could not believe the accounts of outrages and atrocities which he reads in Northern Negro papers, as they are entirely out of harmony with the observation and experience of a life-long residence in the South. I attribute much of this optimism and local patriotism of the Negro to his pacific temperament and long-suffering and forgiving and forgetting disposition. The late Dr. W. T. Walker, perhaps the greatest preacher that the Negro race has produced, used to say that whenever the Negroes of the North held an indignation meeting for the outrages treatment of the southern Negro; the southern Negro in turn held a prayer meeting for the pathetic impotency of his northern brother. I addressed a meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. in El Paso, jubilant over its forcibly won laurels in the primary victory. But it is a general thing one may consider three low on the social Tessablegro, in high or low risk of being outraged by the great-grandson of the North. In life, without one word abdithoverlineisement, segregation, or lim-drow cars. After waiting for a sufficient lapse of time for voluntary expression on the recent Supreme Court primary decision, I had invariably to provoke comment by direct query. The nonchalant reply was invariably to this effect: "We have not yet had an election since the decision." The school system in Texas is unusually good. There is an abundant educational fund in which the Negro shares fairly well. The graded teachers are well paid in all parts of the state. High schools of four years duration and standard standards are maintained in every city of considerable Negro population. The high schools of the state of Washington; although in two instances they are known as Kelly Miller high schools. The state authorities are alert to the requirements of the education of the Negro. The legislature has just appropriated $800,000 for the state college at Prairie View. I addressed one thousand eager, anxious teachers in attendance in summer session to improve their preparation for their life work. The requirements are being steadily raised. Teachers from other northern institutions are being trained in other northern institutions. Texas and North Carolina take the lead among Southern states in the field of education. The fraternities work in close sympathy and affiliation with the church. The prominent minister is called upon to preach the annual sermon when all of the pomp and glory of the order is on display. The funeral always takes place from the church where the minister has the conspicuous role. Membership in the orders is limited. The sermons are read in the church creed. The church and the fraternal orders are both calculated to appeal powerfully to the imagination of a simple-minded and highly impressionable folk. In Texas, as elsewhere, the Negro spends extravagantly upon the burial of the dead, but pays little or no attention to the upkeep and beautification of the graveyard when it is opened before, and after, the funeral. Why is it that the Negro neglects its burial ground? I will return to the consideration of this query at another time. I had intended to take up the question of secret orders as a field furnishing an outlet for the talent for leadership and power on the political domain. But this also will be taken up at another time. I have still another week in Texas—why not wait until my literary interest has been observational? One does not have to eat a whole cake to tell the story. New York has always been a symphony of the softer woman, all the climes of Sodom and Gomorrah; all the decendence of Ninawa and Kekuk, into belly Harlem, the synonym for cabarats; the "numbers," Negro剧院s; night bands, wasted youth—in short, "Nigger Heaven."

According to information imparted to the Informer, all the employees, except one, of a certain local colored concern are slated to be "thrown out" of a certain local white mercantile store, in the event any of these black Houstonians enter this store to purchase an article or commodity. If The Informer is not in error, it appears to us that this same "throw 'em out" store, one of whose directing heads made the answer the nantier hostile reception which awaits this particular group of black citizens, was frantically striving some time back to interest some of these same colored citizens in acquiring some of its stock. Every time the door of this particular colored concern opened a stock-selling representative from this "throw 'em out" store was seeking entrance and vainly endeavoring to plict the financial and moral support of these colored citizens, who are not wanted nor desired in this store now since a few local Negroes fell for this salesman's pleasing palver and invested some of their money in this white store. Of course, the editor of The Informer did not purchase any of the stock, for he feared the "gift-bearing Greeks" and already it appears as if his fear and suspicion were well founded. Furthermore, word has been conveyed to the editor of The Informer that this same "throw 'em out" store will advertise in this paper any more, as if said "throw 'em out" store is refusal or failure to advertise in the columns of The Informer will bankrupt the paper, or force it out of business! In looking over our advertising records we discovered that this same "throw 'em out" store, whose slogan a few months ago was "sell 'em stock" and "invite 'em in", has not inserted six aids in The Informer during the entire career of the newspaper; and that the first of this brief series of advertisements did not appear in The Informer until the stock-selling campaign was launched here by this "throw 'em out" white mercantile establishment among the Negro citizenry. As to the advertisements of this local "throw 'em out" white mercantile institution time the date, we found in The Informer that they were merely being placed for strategic reasons—not because this store desired to advertise in a Negro newspaper, but rather due to the fact that this was somewhat of a novel and shrewd stroke to interest Negroes in buying stock in this anti-Negro concern. In the present "throw 'em out" policy of this local white store is not surprising to The Informer (even though a few local Negroes are reported to have purchased some of the stock placed on the local market); for the policy of this white mercantile institution has been rather hostile to blacks since the early 1960s, and the fact that the stock placed on the market is effectively because she endeavored to witness an exhibit on one of the floors of the store. The Informer wonders how these local colored stockholders feel now, with this "throw 'em out" edict being issued by one of the directing heads of their store. In this connection we are interesting to note what reason for the violence upon certain colored citizens and customers of this "throw 'em out" store, will have upon the Negro patrons of this local white mercantile establishment! NORTH SEEKING TEXAS MINISTERS Despite what some think and say about the "colored brother" in Texas, judging from recent calls tendered some of the leading Negro Baptist pastors of the Lone Star State commonwealth, it appears that the eyes of the North and East are turned towards Texas for ministerial lights. On the heels of the acceptance of the pastorate of churches in Cleveland, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, by Revs. A. L. Boone and C. C. Harper, pastors of the M. Gilead Baptist Church of Fort Worth and St. John's Baptist Church of Dallas, respectively, comes the report that the Metropolitan Baptist Church at Washington, D. C., pastored several years by the late Dr. Norman, has issued a call to Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church of Houston. This latest report anent the Harrison call could not be confirmed before the reverend left the city for the national gathering at Detroit, Mich.; neither could it be ascertained whether the local pastor will accept the call to the nation's capital. Only last summer of the leading Baptist churches in Florida introduced a call to Rev. J. Newton Jenkins, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church at Waco, but the good reverend declined the call and remained in Waco, where he has done and is still doing a wonderful piece of constructive, Christian work. Not only is Texas a large state in resources and dimensions, but this state boasts of producing some outstanding characters in the fields of religion, education, science, arts, commerce, athletics and politics. With some of the best prepared ministers being drawn to other states to work and, with a death of real ministerial leaders in the particular demination in Texas, the America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Informer takes this occasion to remind the young men of the race, especially of this denomination, that here is a wonderful field for the greatest earthly service—for "the harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few. It seems to be up to them to pray the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth workers into the field to gather in the sheaves, and to preach a gospel and live a life that will give the world the true and proper conception of "the fatherhood of God on brotherhood of man."

That the old order in the South is changing, is evidenced by an editorial from the Birmingham News and Age-Herald (white), Birmingham, Alabama, which is reproduced herewith in this issue of The Informer. In fact, this editorial is most unusual, and the attitude assumed by the editor of this leading white Southern newspaper marks the first time in the history of a Nordic journal of the South (as far as the Informer can recall), when any white editor has taken such a broad position. When certain members of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Alabama sought to discredit the grand lodge officers of that state and destroy the order, resorting to court proceedings, this white daily newspaper carried several articles concerning the case; and the news items which appeared in the News were misleading and damaging to the order and race. The news articles was admitted by the court and the attention of the editor of the Birmingham News, published in the city where court action was invoked or sought, was called to the misrepresentations printed in the columns of his newspaper, which injured and damaged the Pythian order in that state, as well as the directing heads of the fraternity, in a lengthy editorial this white Southern editor apologizes for the misleading captions and news articles, and commends the order and its leaders for their contributions towards the elevation and betterment of the race and social order. Despite the fact that many of the white daily newspapers are always carrying news articles and items, often without the least scintilla of truth about Negroes and Negro organizations, movements, et cetera; and, despite the fact that many of these white Southern editors and publishers are often apprised of these erroneous news stories and damaging articles—sometimes written by some "cub" reporter who wants to be witty or have some fun at the expense of the Negro race—this is the first time, to our knowledge where a white editor in Dixie has had the courage, backbone and Christian manhood to admit his error and make an open and public apology for his misrepresentations. When it is borne in mind that Honorable Thomas J. Heffin, United States senator from Alabama whose anti-Negro attitude is nationally known, is vice-president of the corporation publishing the Birmingham News and Age-Herald, rated as "The South's Greatest Newspaper," one can easily see that the editor of this Southern publication has truly been converted, and undoubtedly must be an ardent follower of the Lowly Nazarene! The Informer has never been able to comprehend how white editors and publishers, who profess to be Christians and followers of the fair-minded and unprejudiced Christ, can continue to fill their newspapers with scurrilous articles and base misrepresentations against their colored brother, and not be pricked by the truth of their own public apology when such matters are called to their attention. Only a man with a big heart can apologize for a wrong perpetrated upon his fellowman, and whatever may be said to the contrary about Alabama and its white citizenry, the Birmingham News and Age-Herald editor has pointed the way to all editors and publishers of his race whose newspaper a misrepresents, either wittingly or unwittingly, certain Negroes and Negro organizations, movements, et cetera. Veryly. It augments a new day in the South and a new epoch in interracial relations when the editor of a leading white daily newspaper has the moral courage and Christian heart to correct misstatements appearing in his publication concerning a purely Negro organization; and here's hoping that his tribe will increase. Selah! In Justice To Colored Pythians And Their Excellent Organization abundant proof of its beneficial influence upon the race here in Alabama, not alone as relates to the insurance benefits paid to the families of the victims, but also to the economically. It appears that this organization during the last several years has made a distinct contribution to education by furnishing school supplies and time to color boys and girls in the dance. We are informed that Tuggle Institute, one of the most useful and helpful institutions for the Negro youth in the state, has been for many years a source of benefits from this organization. Birmingham, Ala. News (white): It has been the uniform policy of the Birmingham News to be absolutely fair to all persons, both in its editorial and in its publication. Umaha. This course we have always endorsed to follow, not only as a matter of policy, but also as a matter of principle. A short time ago certain proceedings were filed in the Chancery Court of Alabama in connection with the former general of Alabama against the colored order of Knights of Pytheas, seeking to place that organization in the hands of a receiver. In reporting the fact that such a prosecution was made, the witnessing used in conspicuous baselines the words: "NEGRO K. OF P. LODGE GOES BANKRUPT." There was nothing in the article which followed that in any way justified the headlines; and the News surely rejected the testimony. The mistaken was, of course, wholly unintentional; and now that the news was corrected to the correct error and to do what we can to counteract any unjust or unfavourable impression that may An organization that is doing real good and rendering worthwhile service in its own field of endeavor for the advancement of its particular mission is the general welfare of the state, not be overestimated. Any agency that makes for the genuine good of a particular group among us contributes to the general welfare of all. Certainly, no self-seeking persons, they be inside or outside the organization to destroy it. What matters it that one member or another with ambition to serve the state may not be chosen by those who have the right to choose? The organization of the men in the race in the state, who for many years have served faithfully and sacrificed their municipalities. The men that live and their people and their various common goods must always count in their It appears, too, that in the court proceedings referred to there was no claim not assertion, and the slightest suggestion of such a condition. On the contrary, it was stated in open court that the organization had several years there has been a steady financial increase, and that a recent report by the Bureau of Insurance of the State Department totals over $600,000, while its liabilities total only about $17,000,000. That the organization is exceptionally strong financially. The case was dismissed by the court, which action was not asserted, nor the logical outcome of the proceedings. It is quite safe to state that any praleworthy movement or effort made by our colored people for the advancement of our people always has the support and assistance of the best white people of the country to the colored Knights of Python who wishes for continued growth and wider opportunity for the good it is endeavoring to do for its people. May God bless them thrive and go on doing good forever! A fraternal benefit society, such as the colorful organ groups, has a strong moral support of all right-thinking members. Its field of operations among the colored population is the most important. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings (By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) This release is done in Wichita Falls, Texas, which in turn is done in oil. Not one of my readers out of a hundred knows where Wichita Falls is; neither did I until my itinerary brought me here. It is located near the northwest border of the state and was brought into prominence by the oil company that brought a boom to so many Texas towns. By some strange concomitance, oil companies owned by owners receive the unual royalty which has suddenly transformed many a family from poverty to affluence. But in too many instances they were not ready for their newfound wealth. One hears of but few instances in Texas where it has imminured to substantial personal or racial benefit. Either the oil company has advantages or extravagance and poor judgment bring on the usual results.
