BISHOP'S PRESIDENT ILL
The conductor of this column has been informed of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, our alma mater, is not in the best of health, and that he is com- pleted with a serious injury. The char- titative affairs of this noted institution of learning to others.
Succeeding Dr. A. B. Coffee as the head of the school in 1909, President Maxson, who was previously engaged in educational work in the school, and who was later noted for college about 20 years; serving longer than any other of the school during its entire history; was never rated and regarded as an outstanding educator, schoolman and college exce- sionary; and was the recommen- tation to the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York City. Mr. Maxson be retired with an annu- nary for the services he has rendered to the school, the society and the social order.
In his declining years it is not pos- titioned to work which would be remunerative and which would be in keeping with the position he has held for all these.
"Well does this writer remember when Mr. Maxson first resided Bishop College, Hale, hard, strong and robust despite his years among the Filipinos. His high dis- sension, apparently, had the campus in their grip; for the then retiring Bishop, and enduring another year, he had been prevalent among a cer- tain group of students during the prese- school school."
Determined to brook no interference, President Maxson entered upon what were to call the "big stick," for wherever he went he carried his larger sticks and protection or physical aid, none ever knew, but many had their beliefs, ophthalmic and conjectural, stronger than its weakest link, no longer is man stronger than his supposed wife wife; and durer than his beloved benyne, Mrs. Maxson has been a tower of strength and source of inspiration available for the music department, Mrs. Maxson forsok domestic duties and devoted several hours each day and night to keep alive the spirit of music until the school was fortunate enough to orients. Not only has their family been numerically since their stay at Riship, but the Grim Reaper has invaded their home and is now a part of the journalistic seas, this editor has not found a more loyal and constant support of the "boys" of pastimes—men of today—is hoping and praying that our president's life might be prolonged and that the board will continue to arm him; at the same time electing him president emeritus of the school which he has served so faithfully.
AFTER SCHOOL—WHAT?
"The On-to-School" movement is a杖涯othy and praiseworthy movement in a school setting. A small part in inducing and encouraging many youths to enter school or continue in school and secure the type of education they need, equip and fit them for serviceable and worthwhile careers, the intelligences and intelligence and the young man or woman who enters the arena of life void of educational training, will find the most difficult—in fact, almost impossible. In the athletic realm, particularly in other forms of athletic competitions and games, no sensible person would enter any competition period or engage in athletic training; and the youth or athlete who does not train and stay (Continued on Editorial Paper)
Mound City Editor Has Feelings Hurt
Colored Journalist, Publisher Mound City Newspaper, Seeks Damages From Mrs. Malone. Refused Entrance To Poro Auditorium During National Music Association—Pice Aid Sought In Vain—Excoriated Poro Head In Scathing and Vitriolic Article.
St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—Asking $100,000 because of "injury to his feelings." Edgar G. Brown, editor of the Standard News, a paper published here, entered suit in the St. Louis Circuit Court last Wednesday against Mrs. Annie M. Malone of Poro College. Brown complains that he was ejected from Poro College as an undesirable on the night of August 22, when he attempted to enter the building to attend a recital.
Opinion here seems to regard the suit lightly and to consider it but the culmination of a series of more or less spectacular attacks which Brown has made upon Mrs. Malone. Brown, it is answered, has been accused of having a chain of events and articles, several of the latter having caused his arrest by federal and state authorities. He is understood to be at liberty on bail at this time.
The rebuff upon which Brown bases his suit occurred during the evening of August 22. The National Association of Negro Musicians denounced the assault and the had donated the auditorium of the building for the occasion.

Norfolk, Va.—Three of the group of white men alleged to have forced their attentions upon three white girls Monday evening, on Broad Creek road, and then assaulted E. H.

For protecting the girls both he and his wife were attacked and severely assaulted by the assailants.
Two colored policemen were stationed inside the building, and when Brown, who it is said had made his presence obnoxious in the building, appeared, an officer touched him on the shoulder, and formed him that he could not enter.
Brown Sought Police Aid
Brown raised a storm, but finding it of no avail, went to the nearest police station, where a white sergeants. It was explained by the colored policemen that Edgar was a former officer, advised him they were unable to aid him, and he retired. In the next issue of his paper, however, he was arrested for violently, and later brought his action.
Attorneys Call Suit "A Joke"
Speaking of the suit, one of Mrs. Malone's attorneys said, "It's a joke and has no merit. There is nothing to it. Except an ill-advised mean attempt to achieve cheap notoriety by any means.

Another Gregory Teacher Dies Here; Body To Beaumont
Mrs. Simonetta Criner-Robertson, wife of Rainey W. Robertson, and a teacher at Gregory School, died Sunday night after a lingering illness, at the family residence, 1409 West Dallas. Stricken seriously ill during the early part of the summer, Mrs. Robertson fought a valiant but losing fight against the ravages of disease, yet the end came rather unexpectedly; for she had shown signs of improvement and had been able to leave the bed during the latter part of the week.
Mrs. Robertson, who was one of the most popular public school teachers in the city, had been a member of Gregory faculty for several years. This is the elementary school which has the highest death rate among its teachers of any public school in Texas or the South; the campus having been located in a veritable lake for several years.
A brief funeral ceremony was held for decedent at the family residence Tuesday night, Rev. L. V. Harrison, former pastor St. James M. E. Church officiating. The body was carried to Beaumont overland Wednesday morning, accompanied by sorrowing relatives and friends.
Interment took place in the Oil City, native home of the decedent, with Jackson Undertaking Company of Houston in charge of the body. The family has the deepest sympathy of friends here and in other sections of the state.

Texas Injunction Rallying Ground
Imperial Council Holds Annual Session at Newark, N. J.—Imperial Potentate Blake Sounds Battle-Cry—Colored Shriners Aroused To Action, As Well As Masonic Grand and Blue Lodges—Money Raised For Legal Contest—Columbus, Ohio, Secures 1928 Meeting.
Newark, N. J.—(ANP)—A bit of serious advice was injected into the twenty-eighth annual session of the Imperial Council, Ancient, Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine that held a day meeting here last week, when Caesar R. Blake, Jr., imperial potentate of the order, delivered his annual address.
Speaking with the burning intensity of one who is thoroughly familiar with the legal troubles brought upon the Shriners by white enemies, he easily aroused his audience and painted a vivid picture of what the Shriners could do if they would remain a unit.
Blake informed his followers that it is the disposition of Texas white Shriners to fight his organization to the finish. He assured the nobles that the finish, however, was on their side, because they had the edge on their opponents.
Unless they were representing the organization, the Supreme Court of the United States granted a writ of certiorari in the Texas decision wherein the courts of that state were asked to restrain colored Shriners from operating. The imperial potentate regards the appeal as a partial victory for the Shrine order. He explained that the appeal meant that the Supreme Court of Texas has set aside until October the decision, furthering the meantime, the Supreme Court refrained a writ of certiorari in the suit brought against them by the white Shriners of Texas.
Williams Heads Baptist Forces For Another Year
Chicago Pastor, Texas Product and Outstanding Religious Figure, Back In Office For Sixth Successive Term—Other Executive Officers Re-elected—Sectional Hospital Proposed—World Problems Discussed—Large Attendance Reported—Work of Pierson, Former Houstonian, Praised.
Detroit, Mich.—(ANP)—For the sixth successive term, between ten and twelve thousand Baptists, members of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, meeting for its 47th annual session, elected Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, president, and placed in office again the other executive officers of the convention, at a meeting held here last Thursday.
The custom of electing the president at the afternoon meeting of the first day was not adhered to this year, although there was no noticeable opposition to Williams' continuance in the office. Some of the insiders asserted that the state caucuses had not been held and that that caused the carrying over of the election from Day to Night.
Hake urged them to use special efforts to secure financial donations from their grand lodges, grand convent and other churches, immediately upon their return to their various homes to aid the needy. They also helped their legal battle next month.
Masonic Bodies Endangered
"I would to God," continued Blake, "that each grand master could see the danger that is lurking for Masonry in this attack which is made against our Masonic organization over the shoulder of the Shrine. In the final analysis, all of our descendants of Ham and must stick together." Through its most worshipful grand master, W. T. Woods, the grand lodge

SLAVERY REPORTED IN FLORIDA
Blacks Are Mistreated; Oppressors Unpunished
New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has received and made public a letter from a resident of Madison County, Florida, reporting the mistreatment and unpunished murder of Negroes in that vicinity. The letter states that the Negroes there are suffering greatly and "do not know that they are emancipated." The letter, dated Aug. 24, 1927, the writer's name being withheld, is as follows:
"This comes to inform you of some of the suffering of the colored people of Madison County, Florida, and vicinity. For years Neal Harvey (colored) worked for Clifford White, white, and through some disagreement between him and the white people, and though a reason was she wanted to increase his work without increasing his pay. The day following, Monday, 2 or 3 weeks ago, he went fishing, canoeled a lake, and went fishing, and through a tried and convicted and sentenced without a fine to the road camp on Tuesday, and not being able to give satisfaction to the boss man, he (the boss man) knocked him down with his pistol, and in a few minutes he was
2nd. One Wiggins (colored) in the city of Madison, Fla., happened to displease some white boys. They made up a mob of whites to take him out at night and whip him. He refused to surrender. He ordered them away, and upon their refusal, he shot into the bunch with small shot and sprinkled one of the mob. They put him in jail here four months ago, from a wife and 9 children, the baby being three months, and they are dependent upon him for support. He still are in jail and not trial. The sheriff, Mr. Leonard Morrow, told her to get a certain man (white), to stand his bond and he would turn him out. She went, and the men that her husband had the trouble with met her on the road, killed her and left her body by the road, and the 9 children left to suffer. Will you please help the colored people here, they are faring awful, they don't know they are emancipated. There are numerous cases here that needs investigating among the Negroes.
The N. A. A. C. P. has called the conditions described above to the attention of the governor of Florida.

Los Angeles, Ca.—(ANP)—Exciting scenes were enacted at the Anaheim Auditorium following the loss of a ten-round battle by Baby Joe Gans to Jackie Fields, the white junior wrestler.

From going from a wrestler, a large crowd of colored fans milled about Central Avenue in the vicinity of 12th Street, and no bitter were the denouncement of many wrestlers who had lost money the day before.

Johnson, former coach at Morris Brown, to the tutoring personnel, he will surprise the coaching forward wall may be expected.

A new system of coaching will bring in a new coach, Morris Brown by James P. Aykinson of University, recently announced as athletic director. There will be speeches at the delivery of the "Whitwind" game, the style of attack that will be used by Morris Brown's new coach.

Wanted
To Put on At Least 5 Pounds of Solid Flesh in 30 Days
Countless thousands of underweight men and women have got rid of that scrawny face and figure by a simple easy treatment that is sure and inexpensive.
It's really marvelous how quickly those who try it take on flesh where flesh is most needed.

Lesson for September 18
THE KINGDOM DIVIDED
LESSON TEXT-I Kings 18:1-24.
GOLDEN TEXT-Pride goeth before
a baggage spirit before a fall.
PRIMARY TOPIC-God Punches in
JUNIOR TOPIC-God Punches in
THE KINGDOM DIVIDED
INTERNALIZE AND SENIOR TOPIC- The Folly of Pride.
II. The Polish of Pride.
ADULT TOPIC- How to Prevent Divisions.
The movements leading up to the disruption of the kingdom had begun in Solomon's reign. He saw in Jeroboam the leader of insurrection and the attempt to Egypt until Solomon's death (I. Kings 11:40). Having been informed by the prophet Abba that he would be taken to rule, as he heard of Solomon's death he returned to be ready to take up his work.
II. The Gentleman of the People (v. 1-4).
This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced looting. In order to build costly houses and temples for his heaten wives. The people were grumbling and shouting in order to build the new king Rebeoham, the people, through their leader Jeroboam, came with the rebel army to fight the lighter, promising loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens.
II. Rebeoham's Foolish Decision.
II. Rebeoham's Foolish Decision.
1. Rebolho consulted with the old men (vs. 5-7). These were men with the right to be advisers. Being acquainted with the condition as imposed by Solomon, and knowing the temper of the people, they advised that the people's request be satisfied. 2. Rebolho consulted the young men (vs. 8-11). These young men had grown up with him, possibly his wife, and were being advised that the burdens be increased. Being thus brought up in the luxury of the haren, they were ignorant of the legal right of the people, and were advised that the burdens be increased. 3. Rebolho followed the advice of the young men (vs. 15-18). At the time of the revolt, he posed to the people. He even answered them roughly, asserting his purpose to increase their burdens and sorrows. He also answered the rule and that it was the people's role to obey regard of conditions. 11. The Revolt of the Ten Trees 11. The Revolt of the Ten Trees 11. Upon Rebolho's announcement of his rash purpose all Israel cried out, "What portion have we in David?"
1. Rebelboah's attempt to collect tribute (vv. 18, 19). As he endeavored to collect tribute from the ten tribes he had taken, he was stoned to death. So violent was the opposition on the part of the people that Rebelboah had to flee to Jerusalem to hide him in king over (vv. 20). They seem to have lost no time in selecting a head so as to be strong in their opposition to the ten tribes to return to David (vv. 21-24).
2. Rebelboah's attempt to compel the ten tribes to return to David (vv. 21-24). As he assembled his army of 100,000 men. Through the prophecy of Shemaltu, which forbade them to go against their brethren, they were pursued to return.
3. *V. Jerusalem*'s Scheme to Unify the tribes of 100,000 men. *I. He established calf worship* (vv. 81-83).
(1) He built houses and high places (vv. 31). This was against the prophecy of Shemaltu, which forbaded them to destroy the high places and to break down the idolatrous centers. So we see that Jerusalem's sinful disbelief God.
(3) He changed the day of the Peast of the Tabernacle (v. 32). The time of this feast was set by the Lord (Lev. 23:33, 34). Jeroboam argued that the change in the time would be better suited to their northern climate, but God, who made the climate, ordained the time of the feast. It was his business, therefore, to obey God.
(4) Jeroboam himself intrudes into the priest's office. The act of presumption on his part was the climax of his godless acts, all of which grew out of his wicked heart.
God Established Prayer
God has established prayer to communicate to His creatures the dignity of causality.—Pascal.
The Business of Life
The business of life is largely mad up of minute affairs, requiring only judgment and diligence.—Deecher.
Be Not as Water
Be not as water which takes the tint of all colors.—Syriac.
The surest sign of worms in children is paleness, lack of interest in play, freutfulness, variable appetite, picking at the nose and sudden start of vomiting. The worms appear it is time to give White's cream Vermifuge. A few doses drive the worms away one on the road to health again, and of Biffy years of succession can occur of Biffy years of succession.

View has the advantage over the two rivals.
Sam Huston College, ranking 20th in size in the country, according to student enrollment, loses only two varsity players by graduation of the last year's championship team. Garland, end of the Hawkins guard. These two positions will be filled from last year's reserves and the incoming freshman material.
Coach Bill Taylor, the Dragon mentor, will find a wealth of new material along with 26 new members of his last year's team when he arrives from the East, Sept. 8.
The 1927 football squad of Sam Huston College, according to early recognition, will be composed of players from the following states: Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Askey, Harben, Medlock and Owens are playing their last year for the Dragons and they state they are going to repeat the performance of 1926 and hang up their togs.
The first of the brightest prospects of any of the colleges of the S. A. C. for a winning football team this season. The Lone Star State college is the second largest college in the country, only surpassed by Howard University, and can put 100 players on the field in football togs from which to pick 11 men for the first team. Every letter man and member of the 1926 football squad will report

after a bad start by losing the initial conference game to Sam Hunt, 30-2. They were in glory by defending Wiley, 3-0.
The Panther mentor, Jimmy Law, has been at Prizirie View all summer camp and the 167 football team can campaign.
The veteran coach, Fred Long, of Oklahoma, led his team of his 1926 football squad. Thirty-two members of the last year Tiger squash, along with an audience of 1,000 Oklahoma Louisiana high schools, will report for the first practice at Wiley, Sept. 12. The players, Wiley played erratic football last season. In some games they were outplayed by other teams, and other games they played like beginners. Individual honors should never be the case this season. Wiley played players in a greater Wiley football team for them. They are out to defeat their two greatest rivals, Sam Hunt and Prairie View.
Leroy Taylor, one of the greatest leagues developed in the South, is playful and should be of All-American timber this season if he considers team play as his
Bishop College, after a decided athletic slump in 1926, hopes to make a bid for the athletic supremacy they held in 1925. The prospects for a good team are excellent, since the Bishop team will have the entire 38 members of the 1926 football squad to return this year.
A. W. Mumford, former coach of Jarvis Christian College, is the new coach at Bishop. He has been attending the summer coaching school at the University of Illinois.
Bradley, Brown, Phillips, Posey and Roberts are playing their last year on the Bishop team. Many conferences coaches will breathe with relief upon the departure of this quintet.
Paul Quinn's football squad of 1926 loses only one regular, Lincoln, end. Ray Sheppard, former Paul Quinn and Atlanta football star, is the new coach. Lumbert, Jefferson, Alexander and Kirven are playing their last season.
Texas College feels optimistic over the football outlook for 1927. Coaches Montgomery and Pierce and every member of the 1926 squad will return. George A. Jones, H. Wilson, J. Wilson and James are playing their last year for Texas.
The winner of the 1927 Southern Athletic conference wishes to play a post-season game with the winner of the Southeastern conference, Howard.

Tiger Flowers In 'Come-Back' Fight Shows Old Cunning
(BY TALISMAN)
New York City. —(ANP) -Tiger Flowers, former boss of the middle-aged, brought with tough Joe Anderson of Kentucky, "suh," that he has to be reckoned with when crows are being ordered by heavyweight champion. Not a few of the experts say in *Flowers* detail in the story of the champion Walker, the passing of the picture-season deacon who hails from Camille, France, and the men and mice, Flowers fooked the wise boys in betting row and convinced the experts that the still retains the edge of the game for him the蒋懦 for "perpetual motion" machine. Anderson only a few years later, and the hardest gift of his brilliant career, not a few writers avowing as how the decision against the Kentuckyuck
The odds slightly favored "Tiger" but thousands of kopks changed their national victory. Mickey Walker and his dapper manager, Jack Kearns the former, took the Garden from ringed seats, and be believe us, the pair of them received a championship title in this minnow. In the event of Anderson's winning, the team took Mickey Walker for middleweight bout in case the "Tiger" emerged victor, the price charged before his eye was cut. In the coming Tommy Loughran-McTeague imbrogate. Not one of the 10,000 of Anderson's opponents to see the battle was of any other opinion than flowers would light-heart the battle of their gay young lives, and well go a step further to any middle or light heavy extant on the show he made with tough Joon of Kentucky and other parts South. or the victor of the Wilberforce-West Virginia classic.
Langston University, which is now knocking at the door of the Southern Athletic conference at Notre Dame is the host of the conference, plays the big three of the conference on three successive Saturdays in October. Starting with Sam Husband on Oct. 1, the team feated, like Langston, on Oct. 7, in Langton, they play Piaview View the following week and then journey to Wiley at the Texas state fair.

Harlem Is Home Of Jazzing Orgy, Report Declares
New York City—(ANP)—In their report, made public here a few days ago, the joint committee on Negro Study in New York City, declares that Harlem is the "home of jazz, blues and night clubs, and the 'Nigger Heaven' of fiction." The committee urges that steps be taken to better the condition of the young colored people, among whom the proportion of delinquents and neglected children is four to five times as great as among white population of New York.
The joint committee was representative of thirty social agencies. For seven months they have studied conditions among the children of New York under the chairmanship of Miss Virginia M. M. Murray, with Mrs. Clarissa Scott Delaney, daughter of Emmet J. Scott, doing the field work. The development of a special social welfare program for Harlem is recommended by the committee.
a very salutary effect upon white Southerners, and the presence of such a galaxy of leading Negroes in any Dixie city naturally benefits both races and tends to give the dominant race a better impression of the less fortunate race—theroby improving interracial relations. If the South is such a benighted and dismal place as so many of our Northern brothers content, then they are remixes to their holden duty and violate their religious and fraternal oaths and obligations by refusing to lend a "helping hand" to their less advanted and less-fortunate brother.
THE NEGRO OF THE NORTH CAN NEVER BE SAFE NOR SECURE AS LONG AS HIS BROTHER IN THE SOUTH IS A VICTIM OF LYNCH-LAW, JIM-CROWISM, DISFRANCHISEMENT, SEGREGATION AND OTHER ABORTIONS OF JUSTICE; FOR EVEN NOW THESE ISSUES AND EVILS ARE CLEARING TO BE PURELY SECTIONAL AND ARE RAPIDLY BECOMING NATIONAL IN THEIR SCOPE AND RAMIFICATIONS.
Neither section, as far as the black man is concerned, can afford to indulge in a policy and program of intracultural bickering and wrangling along purely geographical lines; but on the other hand we should forget and abolish sectional lines (just as the other races are doing and have done in this country), and unite our forces to make not only the South safe for the Negro, but to render and maintain the entire American commonwealth a democratic republic both in name and reality.
In the meantime, we hope our Northern brethren, both journalistic and fraternal, "won't feel hurt" when we tell them that even in jim-crow Texas the Colored Knights of Pythias have assets and resources in excess of $1,000,000; Negro Odd Fellows, $585,000; United Brothers Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, $510,000; Ancient Order of Pilgrims, $375,000; Free and Accepted Masons, $300,000; Knights and Daughters of Tabor, $150,000; to say nothing of other orders and lodges in this state. The various holdings, realty and cash, of Negro orders in Texas are easily in excess of $3,000,000, with the Pythians of the state leading the fraternal procession; and, if these race orders were able to accumulate these assets and resources in jim-crow Texas within the last decade, figuratively speaking, (for all of them were on the verge of bankruptcy several years back), in the United States, the political leaders in the free and liberty-loving North and East should point the way for their Southern brother, rather than the Dixie frater showing and leading the way in this respect for his Northern and Eastern brothers.
Even right now the Pythian supreme lodge needs Texas more than Texas needs the supreme lodge, and if there is any doubt along this line one has but to observe the amount of assets and resources of the Texas Pythian order, and the success of the present administration in this state; and then compare it with the unfinished national Pythian temple at Chicago and the inability of the present supreme administration to finance and complete the structure; yet the Texas order has sufficient funds to pay off all outstanding accounts against the colossal blunder, pay cash for the completion of the job and then have sufficient funds left in the treasury of the Lone Star State order to properly operate the order and meet all operating expenses and mortuary claims. From our standpoint, (and we are not bragging, merely confessing), the Pythians of the country will lose more by refusing to come to Dallas and Texas than Dallas and Texas will lose by the supreme lodge meeting in some Northern city, which, according to Northern and Eastern custom, will be unable to entertain the supreme body without "inside" assistance of a financial nature. Finally, it is a mighty silly and foolish person who will cut off his nose to spite his face! Selah!

The colored population of New York in the past few years has increased four times as fast as the general population.
STILL TALKING ABOUT TEXAS!
In its issue of last week, our esteemed journalistic contemporary, the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier, discussed in an editorial the losing fight waged by Dallas and Texas to secure the 1929 biennial supreme lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias; and this Northern paper assumed the attitude that the highest tribunal of the Northwest had "merited rebuke to the jim-crow South, particularly Texas."
Harlem is overcrowded and rent ex
plantation has resulted.
Non-commercial recreational faci
ties are lacking.
Negroes More Delinguent
The number of colored mothers forced to abandon home duties for work was greater than great as among white mothers, and consequently, children lack parental
If the failure or refusal of the colored Pythians to hold their 1922 biennial meeting at Dallas was prompted by a desire to "get even" with the white citizens of Dallas, Texas, and the South then the order has forsaken its time-honored and ancient principles of "friendship, charity (love) and benevolence," and in its own way the old doctrine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
As a result of these conditions, the report continues, delicacy among adults while among children who is lowered. We even reveal some other interesting facts. One is that while the most common charge against white boys is stealing, that against colored boys is assaulting, while the offence second in import-
Far be it from The Informer to bemoan the fact that Texas was unsuccessful in its effort to secure the next biennial session of the colored Pythians for Dallas in 1929, but some of our Northern fraters really amuse us by prescribing panaceas and remedies for curing the lills of the South.
It is true that the South is the hot-bed of racial hatred, jim-crowism, disfranchisement, segregation, lynching, and numerous other injustices and inequalities, which are perpetrated chiefly upon members of the Negro race; but it is likewise true that no reform movement was ever initiated or engineered by those who were afraid to tackle the issues and problems peculiar to their section and clime—and do that job right at home!
Never in the annals of warfare has any notable military victory been achieved by long-distance fighting, or by an army that retreated from the line of martial conflict; neither has any moral, social, political, athletic or even religious fight ever been won by "rebuking" tactics, retaliatory measures as such, or by long range denunciations and invectives.
The Pythians boast of being "boing boys," and yet, according to the Courier editorial, they do not possess great bravery and intrepidity to spend one week in the South with their racial and fraternal brothers—even in the face of jim-crowism, segregation, disfranchisement, mobocracy and "hellocracy"—and thereby exemplify the proper fraternal spirit.
Furthermore, the Informer has observed that "the brother" in those Northern and Eastern states, who boasts and prabs about the race's liberty, freedom and opportunity in sections removed from the bourbon South, has very little to show for all his declaiming and proclaiming; for even in the Pythian order the most substantial and best fixed state jurisdictions are below the Mason and Dixon line.
Another thing: In the recent sectional fight waged at the supreme Pythian lodge at Chicago, which was precipitated by a present and life-long resident of the South, Northern Pythians literally outvoted Southern Pythians in casting an affirmative vote for Dallas, and the grand chancellor of Pennsylvania was among the Northern bloc favoring Texas.
The Informer insisted then and contends now that the issue of section, per se, was not the issue that provoked "one of the hottest contests ever waged in the entire history of the order," according to our Smoky City contemporary. Sectionalism and opposition to Texas and the South simply served as the smoke-screen to becloud the real issue.
Not only was the Pythian supreme lodge organized in the South — Vickersburg, Mississippi — but in 1925 the biennial session was held at Louisville, Kentucky and previous conventions have been held at Atlanta, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and New Orleans, La., the home of the present supreme chancellor of the order who raised and agitated the sectionalism issue.
It seems that another motive that prompted the principal opponent to meeting at Dallas in 1929, was the adherence to an idea that since the South has the majority of the supreme officers, the North ought to be given some sop in the form of entertaining the biennial meetings, even when it becomes necessary for the supreme body to defray part of the local expenses incident to their own entertainment and biennial vacations in several of the boastful and highly-touted Northern and Eastern cities.
It seems that so many of our Northern and Eastern brothers are long on palavar, but short on pecuniar; and it happens that practically every time the supreme lodge of Pythians meets in some Northern or Eastern city, that body has to vote out of its abbreviated treasury sufficient funds to assist the local Northern and Eastern committees in taking care of local expenses.
However, whenever this same body convenes in some Dixie city, not one solitary penny is needed from the supreme treasury to help local Southern committees in liquidating the indebtedness incurred while entertaining the national gathering.
The holding of national meetings in leading Southern cities, where the best in the Negro race can be seen and appraised, has

BAPTISTS

was necessary to impress the boards that they were subordinate parts of the convention. (E. D. Pierson, formerly of Houston, Texas, is auditor and made an exhaustive report concerning his work. In the last three years he has served as chairpersons for the convention through the installation of proper bookkeeping systems and the elimination of waste. It was revealed that Negro Baptists were in agreement with the white Baptists when Dr. Williams called upon the convention to fulfill its pledge, amounting to $100,000. The Alliance, which meets in Toronto, Canada, in June of each year, Minneapolis, Minnesota, gathers of Baptists of all colors and races in history, and the (Negro) Baptist Association, the largest single group represented.
Sectional Hospitals Proposed
Prior to the president's address, Dr. Roscoe C. Giles of Chicago, presented a request from the National Academy of Medicine to the Baptists appoint a committee to meet with a committee from the medics to discuss means of building a large hospital for Negroes in the South, and one in the North. Dr. Giles impressively responded by saying the urgency of providing training schools for young physicians. All of his recommendations were concurred by the president, and the urgency of health was further discussed in the president's message in an appeal to the president to build of a tubular sanitarium.
Training School Stage's Center
Baptists seem to be recognizing the need for a trained ministry. No other institution has done so. The applause accorded his plea for education and the means of education. He denied that the minister of today was a minister of education, emphasized the urgency of providing support for the denominational college, and an interesting and unsolved situation has developed in respect to the Training School for Women and Girls in Washington, D. C., of which Miss Burroughs was a member. The leaders of the convention claim that the school was founded under the guidance of the convention, and that, after Miss Burroughs was made president, the convention tendered support to the
Since that time the institution has been incorporated under an independent board, and accord the convention any voice in the management of the school. Miss Burroughs is a women's auxiliary, refuses to recognize the interest of the convention, and is felt to have been the chief interest of the board in the arrangement. The officers of the convention, in women, must be given the go to the court, prove they have an abiding, legal interest in the affairs of the school, but Burroughs does not hesitate to make such a move for fear that their motives will be misunderstood; they might be accused of persecution. A helpful that Miss Burroughs will change her mind, but meanwhile, she just
Laymen's Movement Successful
One of the most important phases of convention work is the activity of church is being organized by John L. Weibre, supreme custodian of John L. Weibre, supreme custodian of John L. Weibre, union with headmistresses at men's colleges associated with him many of the Negro's leading business men, who attend services in promoting the objects of the laymen. Anthony Overton, president of the Victory Life Insurance Bank, Chicago, made a very effective speech at Thursday evening's meeting of women are trying to increase the education of young ministers, and put business enterprises into church management. Detroit has been hospitable indeed to its religious guests. Wednesday at the church, the president by mayor John W. Smith, and leading white and colored citizens of the city white and T. W. Vernon spoke in behalf
The convention sessions were held in the Light Armor Armory, which is located in the city's largest auditorium. The women's auxiliary church, of which that great Baptist Church, of which that great Baptist Convention sidewalks included a ride and a trip to Niagara Falls. The local committee published a daily of the convention, with the Detroit Independent, local Negro weekly. This was the first recognition of the Negro press of the country was made Wednesday afternoon, directing that a copy of the president's address be sent to every colony.

physically fit, can make very little headache as an adult, and can lead and direct others, when the one essaying to lead does not possess as much education and training as the people he attempts to lead. People are not going to submit to ignorant and untrained leadership, and already our people are not from school well prepared and drawing it tightly and securely.
But our duty does not cease after we have made it possible for our children to obtain an education, and to emerge from school well prepared.
"After school—what?" is a perplexing question which confronts and confuses so many of our youth; for the first time, we are the lesson of preparing places for our boys and girls.
Many of our people get fairly well and receive a pretty fair compensation for their services, and they reason that, even if they conceive a certain return will hardly excel the remuneration and chances of advancement. Hence many of them "quituate" and not a few of these "quituate" ultimately become social paraphernalia.
Let's not only encourage our children by sending them to school, but let them also participate for them at their school, and thus reap the dividend from their education for their school and college days.
To do otherwise is merely catching the shadow and chasing the substance!
