Houston Informer

ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICK INFAMOUS MEASURE OUTLAWED N. O. Dock Workers Stage Riot In fact, to secure the proper rating and maintain affiliations with higher institutions of learning, a standard for the adoption of who can teach teachers is provided and only those teachers of place. If the board is going to place colored teachers in the new junior college because of pull and influence, rather than their preparation and fitness, then this venture is doomed to be a new school. The board has he does not know, and the efficiency of a school or any type of institution can not be maintained by the employment of favorites, to the exclusion of errors better qualified to do the purpose of the school. Every teacher in a junior college, whether a public or private institution of learning, should hold at least a bachelor's degree from some accredited institution of learning; while the departmental heads should hold master's degrees from the leading educational institution of the school. If Houston is going to have a real junior college for Negroes, unless able and competent instructors are secured, the local institution of learning can not hope to receive the same calibre of recognition from education and education. The institution as that already granted other colored junior colleges in Texas. For instance, the completion of a junior college course at the other colored junior colleges in Texas entitles the student finishing said prescribed course to a year, first grade state certificate, with a condition of being free, while he or she can also begin college work with any affiliated institution of learning in the state, South and country. While admitting that this is a new department in public school circles and in the school, the school will have no trial for some time. The Informer contends that our people should support this local school, provided an able faculty is placed in charge of it; but if questionable and incompetent instructors are employed, then the school does not have a prior grant or support and encouragement. Since a tuition fee is going to be charged all enrolling in this new program, teachers cannot consistently afford to employ teachers who are not qualified to teach the subjects in the course of their education. The money for anything, they want that thing for which they are paying, and the educational venture depends upon the principal or head of the school; and, while this paper has no one to nominate, that the superintendent and school board will appoint a real school man to supervise the educational venture that the Houston's junior college for Negroes. THOSE GALVEST SIGN! Visiting Galveston last Sunday afternoon, the school board asked me to seat down the Island City's beautiful esplanape. The result of the Galveston spring municipal election was published, many thought that the colored citizens of that city had won a signal victory. Mayor Jack Pearce to office and thereby defeating the candidate of the mayor to ride into mayoralty office by waving the bloody flag of race prejudice and class distinction. The mayor said that "the brother" in the Island City really won a very doubtful victory; for, despite the fact that the ticket supported by the colored citizens of public seats—city offices, the damnable and diabolical signs, or public seats—keeps the nigger in his place—indicate that either the Galveston Negroes are not the political factor they seek are ungrateful for the sup- THE HOUSTON INFORMER Atlanta's "Barber Bill" Declared Void By Court Atlanta, Ga.—The famous (or infamous) Atlanta "barber bill" prohibiting Negro barbers from cutting the hair of white children under fourteen years of age, which was enacted by the city council last year, has finally received its death blow at the hands of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which, this week, declared the law contrary to the constitutions of both the state and the nation. The law never went into effect, even for a day, having been held up immediately after its passage by a court injunction applied for by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The Supreme Court now writes the concluding chapter in this interesting case. Penn Issues Challenge To Carey For Debate Chicago, Ill.—Dr. I. Garland Penn, one of the secretaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church Board of Education, and one of the most influential men in the denomination, in a letter to Bishop A. J. Carey of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, disagreed with statements made by the bishop in his address on "Segregation." delivered in Cleveland, and challenged the bishop to a public debate to settle the question. According to Dr. Penn, "the object of the challenge for a joint debate is entirely friendly and therefore without acrimony. It is to give you an opportunity to say whether you are correctly rejoicing and to make sure covering it did say, so that there is no make involved of your being discounted as a leader of good judgement and poise or misunderstood by the people." The measure, supposed to have been sponsored by white barbers and politicians seeking to capitalize race prejudice, was rushed through the council without a public hearing. In its original form it prohibited both white and colored barbers from serving persons of the opposite race. A storm of opposition, led by the Interracial Committee, the Ministers' Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce, the daily papers, and other influential agencies, Penn Issues C To Carey I Chicago, Ill.—Dr. I.

According to Dr. Penn, "the object debate is entirely friendly and then is to give you an opportunity to say ported, and if not, to make a statement so that there is no risk involved of good judgement and poise people." 1 The statements, which seemed to have riled the Methodist minister are as follows: "I would rather see my daughter stand over a wash tub all day long than to see her principal of a Negro high school." "I would rather see you doctors, if you want a Negro hospital so that you can have a place for your sons and friends to interm, then you are putting the children in a Negro school." "What I have said about Negro hospitals and schools, I mean for Y. M. C. A. s, and Y. W. C. A.'s places are disgraces in the name of Christ." Of course Dr. Penn realizes that the bishop has a perfect right to make such statements and his own Extra! Coming!

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927 immediately descended upon the council and forced the repeal of the measure. The bill was then greatly modified and was again railroaded through the council. The Chamber of Commerce, with the backing of the other groups opposed to the measure, then took the case to the courts, with the gratifying results indicated above. The case well illustrates the apparent fact that race prejudice, is most general and intense at the level of economic competition.

That evening it is said the nonunion longshoremen attacked the union men and police reserves were ordered to the docks. The struggle has been a bloody one.

State PRISON TORTURE CLAIMS NEGRO PAGE TWO PRISONER DIES FROM TORTURE; PROBE STARTED PRISONER DIES FROM TORTURE; PROBE STARTED Tallahassee, Fla.—(ANP)—An official investigation into the death of Henry Ridley, a convict in a prison camp near here, will begin immediately, according to a statement issued by the state department. Ridley died at the camp a few days ago, and the coroner issued that he died from "natural causes." The investigation has been ordered as a result of testimony rendered at the coroner's trial, to the effect that the prisoner had been placed in the "sweat box" because he refused to work. Ridley had been sick for several days and had been hospitalized. When he was returned to the camp he was ordered to work but declared that he was too weak. The guards placed him in the sweat box for several hours, and when he was released, he again stated that he was still ill. The sweat box was again ordered, and when the guard went to release he was found dead. The prisoner scared on the dead man's body that would indicate that he had been sub-human. Officials are probing the case anyway. Sweat boxes were introduced in the 1920s, and the punishment in 1923, when the lash was abandoned. This method of torture was used for many times, and it is hoped that this cause will be erased.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927 Odd Legends About The world marks seen on a full moon, and today known to be moon vallies and valleys on the face of the moon, are many many many legends, peculiar to different countries. in certain races the man in the moon is a being who, on account of great wisdom, says a writer fortified the moon, from which he was able to see everything that occurred To the Chinese he is Tue yuan, who arranges all marriages. Among the old men received their power by departing into the middle of a take and holding consultation with the man in the moon. The German version deals with a angel for gathering fugas on a Sunday. He replied, "Sunday on earth, or Monday in heaven. It is the same to an eternal moonday in heaven The earliest English version apears in the writings of the St. Alban mokk. here it was Momo who found the moon, and the moon bath, and expelled him to the moon. In France the man in the moon becomes Jules Jacoutel, and the wood many many legends must always carry as a punishment. Captive Wild Beasts Have Strong Appeal Long before Christ the desire of the public to view wild animals, birds, reptiles and fish at close range managed itself. Royal preserves and mead were made. The museum of Ansys and Egypt. In 1100 B. C. it is recorded that the first emperor of the Chion dynasty in China established a garden. This garden is its kind of which there is definite knowledge. This garden was called Intelligence park and appears to have been built in the ancient Roman kept in cavity large numbers of such animals as leopards, lions, bears, elephants, camels and as well as ostriches and crocodiles Emperor Frederick II had at his court a courtnote a collection from which he collected three leopards, in compliance to the three animals of that species that appeared in the monarch's coat of arms. The museum is not long in not afterward by Louis IX of France, formed the nucleus of the famous Tower menagerie. - Detroit Cultivate Good Mind Worry produces indulgence and drepte; the gastric jucules are not formed. Hate thoroughly, and you get indulged in the jucules, just jellyous, and the upset to the glands sows the seeds of cancer. Be malicious and cruel, and you'll get cancer. Be scary and aathine conus. It is impossible to disconnect the mind after the body. An ill thought doesn't stay away, and it can be difficult where, it has been noted that extreme digurg will produce catarrh. It is not always possible to ward off extremities. It is not possible to be able to control our minds. Poison in the mind means poison in the body—suffering, and a abstention of food. We have good health—London Tilt-Bit American Ideas Abroad Enigrants returning to their native towns in Europe after having made their "fortunes" in the United States, are now settling in the American and the American language, which has supplanted French and German as the international tongue among the European countries. In southeastern are there two districts—one the "military," built of stone and rubble, with the chicken coops and the barns, and the other the "American," with houses of white plaster and a special barn composed of the New York Sun.

Judge—And what was your business Prisoner—I had to answer the charge of exceeding the speed limit FRANCIS (Continued From Page One) Westbrook discoursed eloquently on the things which Mr. Francis would see in "his country" and its historical background, while Attty, Homer G. Phillip, president of the National Negro Bar Association, and long time friend and associate of Mr. Francis, would discoursed eloquently of Francis, honored itself, for he Student Knew 'Twas "I'd like to Linger." He was a master of the University of Missouri and loved "military, as all the students." "I tell you, he does," he explained at the hospital, "my threat hurts something." He went to go to military for a day or two. "Not drilling outdoors now, are you?" the doctor inquired. "Well, your threat won't interfere with your going to indoor classes." "But you see, doc, I play in the band, and..." "Oh, in that case it's different," the doctor interrupted. "I don't want you straining that throat in band practice. There are anxious for three days." "He presented himself at the hospital." "Well how's the threw now?" the doctor injured. "It's pretty good. I guess," the student replies. "Think you can go back to band practice now?" the doctor asked. "Yes, I can." "Say, by the way," the doctor remarked. "I used to play in a band with a little girl. I had a horse a little yet once in a white." The reason I knew how hard it would go on your score threat. What do I do? "One of the drums," the student replied, and laid hardily into the door. Cats Alike Fond of The glare of lightlight that recently bent upon Flitty, the London Victoria station cat, who boards the 10:30 train to Dover every morning, lunched upon it and returned to town by the afternoon train, is a reminder of a curious face about cats; they are at the grave most of us, and all of us are part of the family of "all domesticated animals." Other cats in England, and, indeed in most countries, regularly journey long distances on trains, usually in the train crew. As for seafaring cats there must be hundreds of thousands of them, from North Cape to the Horn of Africa, and from the coast to the sea. Most liners carry a quite a number there are White Star vessels with five and twenty aboard. There was an amusing incident not long ago when a ship sailed from New York failed to turn up when the ship sailed reappeared for the next voyage with its tail proudly in the breeze in the harbor, along behind—Manchester Guardian. Reing Allegorical He was a sorry creature to look upon. His clothing was torn, his hair was disheveled, and there was an arm that was clearly visible. I was clear that he was going through, or had just gone through some terrific struggle. Out of sheer pain I stopped taking him who he was and if there was anything I could do to help him. "I am Office," he said. "There is nothing you can do." He took a little puzzled "Oh, yes. You are looking for the man." "No, no." he panted. "That would be you. I am trying to get rid of the man." Still Belief in Witches Belief in witchies still exists in England today, stated a lecturer on witchcraft at a village in Dorset a certain amount of the witchies' organization still remains. When I went down there I asked her if she knew about it. She said, "Witch Fanny is dead." asked, "What is it witch now?" Witch Bessie is witch now. "The question of succession was easily and clearly answered out how or when it was done. Milk Without Cream A cow that possessed "n perfectly adjusted squeaker" has been reported by a correspondent to the Sydney Bulls who said the calves were the fatest and biggest in the herd, but for *bombastic* pityrine her milk was unwashed, according to the report.

Watch Oddly Preserved After being lost for 12 months in a plowed field in England a farmer's watch has been picked up, and is going as well as if it had been in his pocket all the time. The man lost it while he was plowing, and searched frutlessly for it. Yet he has now found it lying on the top of a furrow. Since it was lost the field has been plowed twice, harrowed and defled, and has sleded a crop of would make good and lay a foundation on which the future participation of the Negro in the diplomatic life of the country might well be laud."

Lewis Players To Appear In Comedy Starting Sunday GENE LEWIS Your money's worth of laughter is the promise held forth for all those who see the side-splitting Broadway comedy, "Easy Come, Easy Go", which will be presented by Gene Lewis at the Palace Theatre Sunday, September 25. Mr. Lewis and Miss Millard, the two popular stars, are again provided excellent material to demonstrate their ability as comedians. The play is a succession of laughs from the opening scene of the Pullman smoker, where two escaped bank robbers take refuge and incidentally make themselves move than well acquainted with a millionaire. The story is that of a millionaire on his way to a health farm, and in his wake a lightweight prospective son-in-law, who makes the acquaintance of the fleeing bank robbers. The yeggs also decide to get off at the health farm when they hear no one is allowed near the place. There is naturally a love interest developed, as the daughter of the millionaire falls in love with the robber-millionaire, which leads to a clever and unexpected finish. and Denver, Mrs. J. L.

PITZWATER, D.D., Dean Mondy Bible Institute of Chicago.) (© 1917, by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for September 25 REVIEW—THE EARLY KINGS OF ISRAEL DEVOTIONAL READING - Pn 151-161 GOLDEN TEXT - The Lord hath prepared His three in the heavens; and the Lord hath prepared His three in the earth. TOPIC TIME - What We May Learn from Samuel, Saul, David and Jonion TOPIC - Teachings and Warnings from the Quarter of Israel. TOPIC-Lessons from Samuel, Saul and Jonion YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT LESSON-God in Our Lives and in Our Land. Though the lesson title for the quarter is "The Early Kings of Israel," the great character Samuel should be included in the lesson. The review would be to make a character study of the four outstanding persons of the quarter. Samuel, Saul, David and Jonion the infactory method of review will be the summing up of the leading events and teachings of each lesson. The assignations should be so that the members of the class may recite without hesitation. The following suggestions are offered: 1. Against the protest of Samuel the people demanded a king, in order that they might be like other nations. Saul, David and Jonion be a best suited to fit the place. Because of Samu's exculpative life as a child, a judge and a ruler, he was able to challenge the people to show him that he was not pressured anyone. It is a fine thing when a man in public life can be vindicated against the charge of wrongdoing by an adult or in private. Lesson for July 17. Samu's failure brought great sorrow to David and David from Jesus's sons showed that God looks not on the outward appearance, but upon the heart. David's boy put him in line for promotion. Lesson for July 24. Because David was jailed for sacrifice, he was able to overcame Golish, who had died the living God for July 31. The friendship of David and Jonah has been immortalized in the book *The Life of Jonah*, which it occurred between two men of rival world interests. Jonah, the son of the king of Nineveh, and David, therefore he waived his natural rights, for August 7. David knew that God had rejected Saul and chosen himself to be king. Though relentlessly pursued by Saul, David spared the king because he was God. Lesson for August 14. When David was made king he desired to bring up the ark, the symbol of God's presence, to the center of the city. Because Saul was worthy, he was not careful to do according to God's God. Doing a right thing in a wrong way is displeasing to God. Lesson for August 21. Though God did not permit David to build a house for Him. He did something better; he promised to build for David a house, that is, to establish a place. David does more and better for us than we are able to ask or think. Lesson for August 28. Through neglected duty David fell into the hands of a man by means of a parable Nathan the prophet convicted him of his sin. Upon confession to God forgiveness was granted for September 4. Because Solomon chose wisdom in order to intelligently reign over the nation, God abundantly bestowed upon his wisdom and riches. God's blessing was extended to Solomon. Lesson for September 11. Solomon's first task after his coronaation was building the temple, a privilege which was denied to David. Solomon's first task was迪亚德 God manifested His presence and thus made the temple holy. Leason for September 18. Rebhoban's pride and arrogance in support of the man portion of the nation.

The opposing camp of the two fighters will put up equal halves of a purse large enough to justify such a battle and the winner will take all. Rumor has it that such bad feeling has been aroused between the two boys that they are willing to fight to a first place. If sufficiently secluded place may be found to escape the eyes of the law.

Tonic 100% Alcoholic Malt Beverage SPORTS POTPOURRI Jack Blackburn of Philadelphia Was Greatest 138-Pound Battler (This is the first article of a series re- viewing the history of Negro football, re- containing Negro Press commenting on the greatness of colored athletes in sport—in boxing, basketball, track and soccer.) By ALVIN J. MOSES Harking back to the days of Al Herford and Billy Nolan, when the incomparable Joe Gans was forced, under a signed agreement, to weigh in at 1311 pounds for Battling Nelson, in their memorable joust, reminds us of one of the greatest near champions that ever laced on a six-ounce mitt. Jack Blackburn, originally hailed from Versailles, Kentucky, but at a very tender age moved with his family to the city of "Brotherly Love," which was to provide the setting for some of his best ring efforts. Present-day ring followers will no doubt recall that up until a few years ago, Blackburn would take an occasional fling at the game he was so loathe to leave, with the local champions to be found in the sticks, as the tank towns of the country are called. Sammy Mandell, present holder of the world's lightweight championship, is a protege of Blackburn's and elibirate no little of the matterfully skilled into him by the picturesque Philadelphia. The highly trained business manager of the present-day pugillists demand the posting of weight forfeits, and quibble for hours over an eighth of a pound difference between men who otherwise are evenly matched. In Blackburn's heydey he never scaled over 133 pounds when in the same of condition. Should Have Been Champion Young Mitchell, Australia, and Jack Dempsey (nonpareil), were the closest approaches to Blackburn among MOMA Is what everyone should have.

MARLIN, TEXAS men who rarely scaled above the lightweight limit, and it was largely a trick of fate that kept Jack out of the charmed circle, for few will gain say the fact that he was "champion" in ability. The archives of Istiana provide few greater feats than Blackburn's conquest of John Willie—burly 205 Chicago heavyweight who prior to meeting the dimunitive Philly glad-iator, had subjected Al Kaufman to Frisco to a bad beating. The men met at the National Athletic Club of Philadelphia, Nov. 14, 1908, and it must have caused no end of speculation when the "modern David" crawled through the hempen strands to do battle with a man who later on stayed through six bitter no-decision rounds with mighty Jack Johnson. Blackburn had just defeated George Memiscic, the Saturday night before, when both men scaled in at 133 rigside, and his best friends thought him to have gone suddenly crazy as he stood smiling broadly at the grim visaged Westerner. It wasn't long before Blackburn showed the skeptics that he had every right to be in there with Willie—and how the fans did stand on every available piece of furniture and cheer his gallant effort until the wellkin rang. The superlatively clever Blackburn jabbed Wilie with raspberry jam and stabbed him to miss the mark. One round was just the same as the other, the unofficial chagrin of Wilie. If there is anything in the record of any fighter who has shown since Blackburn's we stand ready to be shown. He was ready to be shown. He was Larry Temple could do little with him, and neither could the great BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND A Lovely Complexion to take the course. Write our Registered School for information.

Both fighters were primed for action, and at the stroke of the bell rushed forward to end the battle. Munn landed heavily on Godfrey in the opening round but the blows did not hurt the Lieperville heavyweight. Munn was also the aggressor in the second round and Godfrey was content to take his offerings. The third stanza brought forth another tale. Godfrey rushed out of his corner and opened up a crushing body attack, and a few seconds later Munn was on the canvas, where he remained until the count of nine. Munn struggled to his feet, but a hard right to the jaw sent him down again and the gong saved him. In the fourth round Godfrey continued his body attack, following it up with hard rights to the face. Munn went down again, got up, but was helpless, and the referee stopped the bout.

BRUCE FLOWERS GETS CHANCE AT SIDNEY TERRIS New York City.—(ANP)—Sidi Terris, most popular ghetto champion since the retirement of Bonny Leonard, has practically signed to meet Bruce Flowers, sensational colored lightweight contender from New Rochelle. With the decline of Baby Joe Gans, rated by close followers of the sport as the best of a poor lot of present-day lightweights, Flowers has risen fifty per cent. The only defeat he has suffered in more than a year of glove slinging, was that at the hands of Kid Kaplan, a tough Hollow Lightweight from New Canadian, and that at the end of the world has easily tossed out the records. A flower entered the ring with a boil as large as a hen's egg under his right arm-pit. Spartan that he is, he fought ten bitter rounds against the strongest lightweight in the world today, bar none. Terris appears to be too smart for Flowers at this present stage of their development. Sidney has fairly announced most of the same opponents each has engaged, while the New Rochelle star has won, but only after an uphill struggle. Flowers is the better of the two, and in gamemembers there is little to choose between them, neither being willing to quit under fire at any stage of the going. The winner is doped to meet Sammy Mandell, who has had no real opponent since winning the crown. the boys from the South Carolina school a tough tussle, around this game because of its interatent character.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE LEGISLATION DESTROYS RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP (Columbian Press Bureau) Washington, D. C. — A prominent Democrat recently emphasized his belief that "the state must be supreme in the enforcement of state sovereignty," and a very strong tendency at federal encroachment of state sovereignty, the Democratic party that there is no right given to a citizen by the federal government. The functions of a state need to respect, when such rights are in conflict with the rights of the citizens. Negroes of America have just cause to remember the legislative history of the Democratic states, which followed the Civil War and slaves in a last desperate effort to continue some form of bondage and oppression. The legislature of Mississippi passed laws requiring certain officers to report to the probate courts on behalf of the state's children, years, whose parents were without means to support them, or refused to do so; thereupon the court should order that the children be brought to age of 18. In choosing the master for the new apprentices, the formative years were penalties were enacted in case the apprentice ran away, or if any person furnished him with food and The same legislature enacted that all free Negros over 18 years of age, found with no lawful employment or business, should be deemed vagranta and be subject to a heavy fine. If unable to pay the fine, the freedom will be to be “thired out,” but it will be on the same time as the term sufficient to produce the amount of the fine. The laws of South Carolina were drafted upon the same lines as those of Mississippi. In order to follow any pursuit, except one of the most menial character, a Negro was required to pay a license fee, which was practically prohibitory, which was not required to pay the other race. The laws of Florida created a criminal court with jurisdiction to try for vagrancy and other crimes for which, under the law, punishment was not provided. In the proceedings of this court, no indictment or written pleadings were required. Special criminal statutes were passed, aimed at the Negro, and providing a written written written written written written written law for the purport of labor. These contracts were given a peculiar sanctity so far as the obligations of the Negro were concerned. A violation on the part of the employer subjected him to a mere civil liability; but a violation on the part of the black man constituted heinous crime for which he was liable to a “pillor,” a “pillor,” a “whipped With the final passing away of these infamous and unconstitutional cases, the U. S. Supreme Court declaring that there are certain inalienable rights of citizenship from any citizen of the United States, no matter where he resides, Negroes never before been denied citizenship state legislation destroys citizenship rights; and they rejoice that the state legislation allows negroes which cannot and must not be disturbed by state legislation.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927 TOO MANY COLORED CHURCHES! When one beholds the multiplicity of Negro churches in the average Negro neighborhood, either of the North or South, he is forced to admit that our race is getting top-heavy with churches, that, poverty-streken as we are, we waste entirely too much money in erecting houses of worship to the Lord. Too many of our churches are established, and houses of worship erected or acquired, just to afford a fat position for some man with a "burning zeal," whose religious fervor is largely determined by the size of the contribution in the church collection plates. Within two blocks of a certain area in Houston are six colored churches, and it appears that they are always engaged in a contest to see which congregation can raise the most money, sing the loudest songs, pray the longest (and, incidentally, the loudest) prayers, hold the most lengthy service and which pastor can out-preach and out-do the other. As a result of this protracted contest, these churches—at least four of them—hold religious services every night in the week and throughout the day on Sundays; and, judging from the mirth of the spectators and onlookers, one would readily conclude that a minstrel or comedy was in progress. Not being satisfied with reducing a large number of such members to poverty and keeping them in ignorance, too many of these preachers are really making social and economic liabilities out of an alarmingly large number of their ardent adherents, devoted followers, and duped devotees, and even persons residing in close proximity to these "perpetual" churches. Any man or woman who remains at either church, theatre dance or lodge meeting, or any other type of meeting or place, until midnight every night in the week, or who can not sleep because of attendant noise until a late hour every night, will not be fit long to do his or her daily task; and thus his industrial efficiency is impaired with the resultant jeopardy of his job. The Negro, above all other races, needs a sane and sensible religion; and the religion of the Lowly Nazean is just that type, but its interpreters have largely misinterpreted it, and the spirit of selfishness has crowded the spirit of Jesus Christ not only out of the pew, but in many instances completely out of both the pulpit and church. Believing in that doctrine that "a servant is worthy of his hire," it appears that our modern-day servants are quite adept at looking after their "hire"; but they seem to forget that the same book also teaches that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." If the Negro race would harness its forces in business, commercial and economic enterprises as it does in drives and campaigns to erect churches on every corner (and even between blocks), the world would have more faith in and respect for our people. There are persons in the Negro race who will not put one penny into any business or commercial project among their race, even though the concern is functioning and making places for the youths of their own race and members of their immediate families; yet those same persons will panzerize themselves in making themselves towards building some church edifice, which is seldom needed. The Informer does not take the arbitrary attitude that the Negro race does not need well-appointed, commodious and modern temples for religious worship, but instead of being content with a few creditable churches, we show our divisive and split-minded people trying to organize and build churches on every street corner. Economy and common sense should teach us that, in the long run, it is considerably cheaper and more economical to have just a few good churches and able pastors, than to have a surplus crop of cheap and makehift church churches and ignorant, lazy and shiftless preachers, who open the services talking about money and chose a collection being "lifted" or taken after the collection. No race which spends principally all of its time, contributes most of its money and exerts the larger amount of its energy towards a church building and preacher-fattening program, can ever expect to cut much of a swain in the field of human endeavor and racial accomplishment. Races are not rated and judged by the many church houses they erect—as important as houses of worship are, and as essential as churches and preachers—but the true test and measure of a race's greatness lies in unimfish service to the social family, its impression upon contemporaneous and succeeding civilizations, and its contributions to unborn generations. Unless a church has some particular and peculiar—yea, distinct—service which it can render to its communists and society, even though its towers touch the sky, and its beauty is the result of common's temple, its influence for good is of a very doubtful nature. An a race we should build good, substantial race, but few of them; for a wealthy and well-fitted race could hardly afford it. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper IS THE NEGRO A LIVING OR DYING RACE? (B) KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) Mr. Louis L. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, contributes an interesting article to the September number of the American Mercury, upon the vital problems of the Negro race. He is, perhaps, the highest authority upon that subject, as he has the handling of two million cases of Negro policies in his company. His analysis is thorough, and his findings based upon supporting facts. Those who have followed him have been able to recognize the pathogenic and optimistic attitude. He permits himself to indulge in prophecy as to the maximum strength of the Negro element, placing the limit at fifteen million. But he is cautious enough to say that all such prophecy is hazardous and without scientific value. One man's guess is as good as another's. There are no many uncertain factors that there is no safe guide for a same judgment. The census office are subject to such irregularities that they often mislead the hasty philosopher into untenable conclusions. Thus Mr. Dublin tells that thirty years ago there was much gloomy prediction concerning the early extinction of the African on account of his inherent degenerative tendencies. These are all discredited by more recent showings. The census of 1920 is obviously incorrect for reasons which I have pointed out elsewhere. It is easy to predict that this will be abundantly shown by the forthcoming census of 1830. This leads me to say that every effort to see that this census is correct as far as the Negro factor is concerned. The Negro in the United States is practically a subject race and is liable to the vicissitudes of all minorities under like conditions. The issues of life bear hard upon them, and tend to grind them to powder unless they are strongly fortified by physical stamina. They are the hardest worked, the poorest paid and most ill circumstanced of all of the complex elements of our population. If there be a streak of weakness it will be emphasized by harsh treatment and cruelusage. The stress and strain of our mechanical bodies and the physical strain of our muscles, the red Indian could not stand it. He must either withdraw from the circle of its competition or be crushed by it. But the Negro, so far has stood the test. The harsh exactions of a slave regime did not impain his physical vigor. Where other weaker varieties pin and die, he lives and multiplies and laughs. He has probably passed the most exacting experience which he will be called upon to meet with his physical vigor intact. The transition from slavery to freedom; the sudden shifting of the basis of existence from the support of the master to his own endeavor and the direction was perhaps as great a strain as any race has ever been called upon to meet. And yet, five million stories in 1800 had grown into ten million and this. This tells the story of the Negro's physical stamina as nothing else can do. If there is any danger of the ultimate extinction of the Negro race in this country, it will grow out of psychie rather than physical reasons. The spirit of pessimism spells the doom of any people. Up to the present time, the Negro race is breeding from the bottom, but is dying out from the top. Where the parents produced so to ten children, the desconcentrants are not as good as those of the black. So, the trade made the end of the Negro race, published in the Scientific Monthly. I took as my basis, the Negro members of the faculty of Howard University. I ascertained the number of children of the families from which they were derived. The average was over six children to the family. But the number of children which these educated sons and daughters had produced was less than two. I also took into account the unmarried members of the faculty, and, judging from their age it is not known that the were of the most important. It was not the first place that the language in which my contribution was published contained a study of the fecundity of scientific men, with something like corresponding results, with this striking exception: the white men for the most part were married, while a large proportion of the Negroes of like ages were single. According to my general observation, this condition is general among the advanced section of the Negro race. In the first place, a large number remain single from a sense of prudence or of cowardice. The second place, many more complex ones, is the third place. More than many of the two children. Here in the city of Washington, where we have the largest number of better-stained colored people, these three groups are dominant. Within the last ten years or so, the school regulations have allowed teachers to continue in service after marriage. But the children are few and far between. Birth and age, the two are not as good as those of the negroes of the favored class. How far down this prudential practice is destined is, a hard to predict. But quite quite simple. In the case of sufficiently widespread practice, to serious increase the productivity of the race, The Negro is now crowding into the cities. He is becoming intoxicated with the elixir of the pleasure and gaites of urban life. He is learning the secret and method of race suicide. A large number of children is an environment where the elixir of race suicide is occurring. Society are longing to follow in the train of their kindred and friends, who have predeemed them to the city. We may not now be able to predict what the end will be. But if sound counsel can be made to preval, the Negro will maintain his own as a component factor of the American people and will be able to predict the fate of the Negro as a component of mankind. But neither God nor man can make any use of a dying race. The Mirror (Continued from Page One) port and vote of the black citizens of that city. Not only have all these public seats been demolished with such hurdles and inconvenience that but also employees on the city pay-roll have been dropped recently in large numbers.

By WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) The Associated Press on August 31, 1927, says: "Warren T. McCray, a completed one-third of a ten-year term in the Atlanta federal penitentiary, is expected to be released on August 1, 1928." It is further stated that the parole board recommended his release and that Attorney General Sargent appointed American Negroes, take notice. Here he is a major American, though criminal, and no doubt about it. He used the malaise to defraud, not out of ignorance of his own criminality, and certainly, knowing all about what he was doing. He sought his own personal profit from the deed. Warry was, not a criminal, but a minimized vision. His organization abused the use of his personal profit, and than did McCray. Garvey was not seeking profits in a personal business. He was, of course, seeking glory in the criminal world. It is true that he hardly understood the legal import of his stock-selling. He did not, in fact, third of his term, for he only went to prison before McCray, but was only five years later. McCray in last, and comes out first—although McCray's term was twice as Garvey was a bigger man, better, more powerful, the world than McCray ever could have had. He would have all the governors of Indiana and yet Garvey is still in prison while Attorney General Sargent reeled off the white man and release of the more chance than Garvey to "know better, and who was a far greater chance." Garvey was right: This is certainly what Whatever Negro editions and other leaders may think of Marcus Garvey the human brain to think of that object's human priority of our department of "Justice" because it is in his brain, but a symbol, the very lowest estimate, he deserves as much consideration as McCray, former governor of Indiana. Principal Powers of Prosperity By ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M.D. Director Department of Public Health Howard University, Washington, D.C. (For The Associated Negro Press) Just a few days ago there came to my desk a letter from the H. R. George Company, which carried the above title. Possibly Mr. George did not aim to preach a health sermon, but he did it anyhow, using the word "Man-Power" instead of health. Your health is man-power. Parts of the letter follow, laden with good advice. "There are three main powers: Man-Power, Money-Power and Mechanical-Power." "Man-Power is the primary power through which both Money-Power and Mechanical-Power are created." "Mechanical-Power is dependent for its operation on other Man-Power or Money-Power." "Your business is dependent upon your Man-Power, that is to say: your individual effort, physical or mental and if it is being conducted properly it will undoubtedly bring profitable results to you." “A portion of the profits that are gained through your efforts should go back into your business to provide for expansion.” “The balance could be used to provide your future whenever you manual strength fails. The financial result of one's effort should be divided in three parts: 1. You should put a portion of your money in earnings in bank for immediate use. 2. Another portion should be used to meet your domestic obligations. 3. You should invest in enterprises that have competent and honest management and where there are possibilities for large profits. 4. These powers taken together will form your Money-Power. Sooner or later it will cease to cause, either through disability, old age or death, to your income stops. At that time you should make your income stops depend on your Money-Power. If you provided provision when you had manual strength, it is proper management of your present weekly or monthly salary, while you are able to use your Manpower. It is proper welfare and that of your family, by developing a permanent Money-Power. 5. Statistics show that out of 100 young men starting in life at the age of 20, when they reach the age of 40, they are dependent for their living; 54 will be dependent comfortably fixed and one will be rich. forced to add another dental assistant and to enlarge his quarters.

OPINIONS Youth's Challenge To The Church For the Association for Careers that were spent in careful research into ethnology, anthropology, philology, history, philosophy and the allied sciences, I was astonished to find how great was the reverence of the true scientists for God. Even Darwin in his exposition of evolution had no intention whatsoever of teaching science to a scientist, teaches against evolution. There is a type of pseudo-scientist who attempts to attract attention to himself an knowing more than other men by bringing religion into contempt and ridicule. I have been astonished to find in science corroboration of the Scriptures. I regret to tell you that I intend to teach and thereby to teach it. I did the same on Negro history, for no one today is gathering God's statistics; we are not the maker is defamed and we cringe before his challengers. Where are the defenders who are answering these questions? First of all, evolution is only a theory. No scientist has been able to really show that one plant or animal grows into another. They are still looking for the missing link between man and the ape, and the last of them will be still be looking. The facts of history do not support the theory that man is evolving into a higher state. Man, throughout the ages, seems to have moved in cycles of progress and retrogression. Just now we seem to be veering back. The span of life has been shortened down through the ages. World war tests proved mental and physical degeneration. Skulls dug up by archaeologists in the strata of western Europe show that prehistoric man had brains as large, and in some ways, superior to the brain of today. Unearthed findings all over the earth show that in the "golden ages" of antiquity there were arts to, which we today do not attain. Their art works were original and of very diversified designs which we today still imitate. Our dress patterns, ornaments, and designs in furniture are from Egypt and the Orient. Today we have no creations in painting, music, literature, in even a feeble way to compare with the masterpieces of the middle ages. In Greece the general population loved to sit and hear the reading of poetry and refined literature. Our masses would run away from the very suggestion. Those who call themselves cultured forsake the sober for jazz pleasures. What measure of evolution can be shown in all this? On this ground the theory falls off itself. All the evidences to prove a universal deluge can be found in geology. Where have these critics studied? Or did they lack comprehension? Geology shows that just under the strata of the present soil we tread, are evidences of wildly rushing waters that covered the earth. Shells from deepest ocean depth can still be found on the tops of 'highest mountains. What right have men who have studied superficially to strike at faith, which is the foundation of all in this world or all that we hope to have? Have your own belief, be perfectly free in having it, but when we tempt to fill up the literature of the present with sneers at God, when we also accept to attack the Scriptures that they themselves are scientific, then we put ourselves in the position of the bad boy who trespasses upon the neighbor's premises, and who needs to be turned across our knee. "Science in the Bible," next article. Week's Excursions By ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON "NOT SO HOT" (For The Associated Negro Press) Your friend approaches you, lays her finger mysteriously on her lip and in hated whispers tells you of a wonderful bargain she can get, of a gift she can afford, of a ridiculously low price. "Hot!" If you have no scruples, you follow. There are devious ways of impressing her, and such dubious goods. Signals, and lowered voices; mysterious sounds and sounds. You buy something that you don't want particularly, just for the thrill of it. It is a bargain; there is no chance you won't shop it would cost twice, or thrice as much. Your conscience trouble you. Stolen, doubled, you think. Or you have such an unworthy thing again. And you go to the next one that you hear about. It is like a drug. Something And the supposed agent of the smuggler, or the receiver of stolen goods, pockets your money, lays her finger to her nose and winks, as she calmly and openly and honestly pay her bills at the wholesale merchant of Hebrew or Levantine persuasion. For it is only a trick of the wholesal houses to make quick sales and small profits. They have cashed in on the old-time trade of the "hot" merchants long since driven out of business, and the love of adventure in every woman's heart. A legitimate trade of handling goods through women salesmen, dealing direct with the wholesalers, without the cost of overhead or handling charges. From factory to customer, via the shrewd little women who look discreet and knowing and subtle, and run up the price several dollars to make you pay for your low opinion of their honesty. Not "hot stuff," but honest-to-goodness merchandise, lower in price, because cheaper to handle.
