SHRINERS' CASE TO SUPREME COURT MEMPHIS NEGRO BANKS MERGE ONLY WEEKLY NEWSBARER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WD LIAN PICKEN FINAL EDITION VOLUME IX "Why I Stay In Texas and Fight" By C. F. RICHARDSON Houston Elder Crief Leaders Who Live in Safety Zone and Direct Affairs At Long Range. The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier: Houston, Texas Sept. 22—The quarterly journal of the author of this article by Neuro residents of other sections of the country, particularly those of the North and East, as to why this writer prefers to remain in Texas (and the South) and endanger his life in the defense of justice, right and a square with the American people, the secular and humanity in general, when he could remove to other sections of the republic and be assured of more protection and a larger degree of liberty in his editorial utterances and observations. He came to this interrogation and manifest interest on the part of so many of my friends and well-wishers in other parts of the country I wish to assert that I have a "burning zeal" for my race. Their trials are my trials; their sufferings are my sufferings; their hearts are my hearts; their hearts are my hearts; their successes and triumphs my successes and triumphs, and whatever affects them, for weal or for woe, affects me similarly. The attitude of Moses, who the attitude of Pharah, palace, has played no small part in inspiring and actuating to remain in Dixie and fight wrong and unrightness wherever it exists, and that also allows it to fight it out along these lines if it takes all summer." I was born, reared and educated in Texas, and thus I am an integral part (small though it may be) of the Lone Star State commonwealth. I consider myself a member of the community of such family, I deem it my sacred, inherent, God-given and constitutional right to preach an uncompromising triumph of democracy and Christianity, and to contend with might and main power in the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man;" for the advent of the day when man's humanity to man will make countless thousands rejoice and be exceedingly glad. This writer (readers will pardon the personal reference, yet the article is written in the style of the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man;" born at Marshall, a small city in East Texas, and educated at Bishop College, an institution for the highest degree in theology, and supported by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York City, located in the "Atlames of Texahoula," also home of Wiley College. It was while a student in the department at Bishop College that the writer became imbued with a desire to devote his life to the cause of racial and social justice, and to the written and printed word, and to some day edit a newspaper, and to tackle and expose the evils and illis, the injustices and inequalities heaped with impunity upon his race in Texas. The South is yet, and will remain for many years to come, the chief of our people, and since this is an unadmissible fact, most assuredly these people, denied and refused so many rights, and the legal rights because of their color and previous condition of servitude, ought receive some substantial and concrete help. We are able to render certain types of help and succor. If I were to answer this question point blank, I would reply by simply saying the South is the right of the South and fight because my people need me, and because I believe that I can perform some kind of service.

Negro Educational Facilities Showing Wonderful Growth Austin, Texas. - Remarkable growth of Negro educational facilities in Texas is brought to light in a complete published report for the first time by William Ellers, rural superintendent, for the Farm and Ranch magazine.

MOSES (For The Associated Negro Press) The longest known glove fight in the history of boxing was that between Andy Bowen, famous boxer of Brooklyn, and more than seven hours these two great exponents of the art of miss and connect four were contested in rounds being contested in all, according to Marquis of Queenberry rules. He was held against Wade Owens, of Owensburg, Owensland, La. Burke was fanned far and near for his wonderful stamina, and for his skill in best-of-kill and best-of all dark-skinned glove artists, was known along the Louisiana leagues as the man who knocked out the man whoMitte to battle a white flat fist in one of the hotbeds of Southern America for the man who attempt to honor. Bout Was Declared "No Contest" After seven hours and nineteen minutes of pier six battling without a break, the team scored a verdict of "No Contest." It was hardy fair to either one of these teams, but the other, with even 184 pounds each, and last close to nine pounds each during the progress of their ople struggle. Dempsey would have received such a verdict, in view of Dempsey's tremendous strength, and moment of moment, Dave Barry's fourteen count on Gene Tunney in the never to be missed ten-round bout Field, Chicago!

This contest was awarded the verdict when Everhardt, too worn and tired to climb, crumpled his heap at Bown's feet contempled the heap of the 86th round. Somewhere along about the seventh round, Everhardt fell and crumpled fifteen rounds it was of—practically no use.

BOUT PROMOTERS DRAW COLOR LINE GODFREY BARRED New York City—(ANP)—In a lengthy article declaring that heavyweight fighters are the recent bouts are merely speculations on another scale, the "Daily Graphic" of this city sets up the record for the recent bouts are concerning the "heavyweight trust" which rules the boxing game today. The record is that the man who outstretched by the "trust" the story goes on to take up the case of George Godfrey, the big colored champion and prominence by defeating his opponents and decisively winning his last two bouts. This never named the name of George Godfrey, the graphic states, speaking of this mighty combine, "the colored heavy, who recently knocked out Jimmy Malone and some Monee Monee, the tourney because of his color or the possibility that he might emerge on top and menace Tunney, a fraternity tourney because of his color or the possibility that he might emerge on top and menace Tunney, a fraternity tourney because of his color or the possibility that he might never fight a Negro after Harry Wills had dodged a match with him. He had beaten Dempsey when he aided the old champion train last spring out on the coast. George Godfrey is not on the list of the most famous an assel." The article then goes on to give the names and values of various foreigners, and to be controlled by the trust, but no colored heavy is included in the imposing list, although many foreigners grace the roster. In conclusion of the brain, and thus died one of the smartest, most durable, and best loved fighting men, or black, the world has ever seen. with Victoria High. The stock of the crimson and gold warriors went sky high when it was learned that last month's quarterback, Jacus Davis, and "William" star halfback, had returned to school. Among the varsity men who are showing up well are: Capt. Springs, Shaw, Shaw, shaw, Thomas, Burry, "Big David," Russell, Hughes, Howard, Russell, Collins and Veola. Coach Sells says that with these men he expects to go the season without being scored on.

Winton-Salem, N. C. — (ANP)—"No colored heavyweight will get a chance at the heavyweight title," was the declaration made by Big Bill Tate here Friday evening in a conversation with an Associated Negro Press representative. The state who fought for Anderson, on the State Fair, took the occasion to express the above sentiment between workouts for the battle, and amplified his opinion with the statement that the cause of his "feeling in the matter" was the money-making possibilities bound up in the Tunney-Dempsey-Sharkey proposition, which he termed "bothery for the man." The big battle further allowed that he wished either Tunney or Dempsey to win, but the Mauger, who trained for many of his biggest fights. "Concerning Harry Wills, Tate said the whites people caused he knew they was no good." TUSKEGEE STOPS KNOXVILLE 21-6; GAITHER IS STAR Tukungue Inst., Ala., Oct. 8—A touchdown in the first, second and fourth quarter enabled the Tukungue Tigers to defeat Knoxville College in the first conference game of the season, 21-6. The Tigers also outscored Knoxville for at least fifty minutes of the sixty, the crimson team was held to a score of 21-6. Knoxville. The poor work of the Tukungue line made it evident that the Tigers can hope to measure up to the great eleven of 1926. The first drows were made through the line by the use of a deceptive close formation of the Tigers, hidden behind a trick to great advantage, line held, and on attacks outchanged Tukungue's front wall. The lacked sustained power and except for two pretty runs by Skovenson and downs was made through the air. He was played with two minutes to play, the ball thrill.

The Panthers, Sandalld Field, State College, the game with the North Carolina Aggies was just what the Lions needed so that the coaches could get a chance to work hard and be discouraged and is working all the harder to get the formidable eleven in shape. The North Carolina Aggies, the Lions met a veteran team that possessed weight, speed, and power and were on the part of the Lions proved too much for the fighting Lions. Coach Hulen is bringing a fast team to the game and Coach Morrison handed out a set of new plays to the Lions and Monday Coach Morrison for the same time perfecting a defense for the strong attack which the Panthers will wage.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1927 JUST LEAVE IT TO MISSISSIPPI! According to a decision handed down this week by the supreme court of Mississippi, affirming a decision rendered by a lower state court, children of that state can not attend the white public schools in this Southern commonwealth, and thus the South faces another "race issue" with a probable international aspect. If a Southern state can exclude Chinese children from the white public schools, even though said Chinese are American citizens, isn't it also humanly and legally for the same dike state to exclude Mexican children, or children of any other racial or national group? If the Chinese are not white and interpreted by law, then will Mississippi also forbid the Chinese to ride in the same sections and passover coaches allotted for white children? we were dwarfed by the University of Birmingham, Alabama, or Buffalo, New York. Baltimore is the fundamentalist of American cities. Its chief organ of opinion, the University of Alabama, is the grandmother of American journalism. Genius must have environmental awareness to express its inborn potential. If it happens to have found Nandina, the famous Wymyng, he has but two resources, either, like Gatsby putative Milton, to find out from among them unto a land which his inner prompts will show Since America only has two races – white and colored; and since the Missioniaca courts have held that Chinese are not white, does it mean the creation and maintenance of another separate racial group in the South, or does it merely indicate that Chinese and other darker races will be categorized as white? The actions and antics of Southern whites in segregating, jim-crowning and prosecuting against native-born American citizens because of color, have always amused, as well as disgusted, us; for we have never been able to comprehend how our white neighbors could oppose so vigorously, hereby and stubbornly sharing a seat in a street car or passenger coach with a colored person in a Chinaman, most likely members of some other outlandish nationality! Menken remains corporally in Baltimore, but lives spiritually in New York. He receives from his home place is the acceptance of an occasional contribution to Baltimore Sun paper, which illuminates its otherwise customary and uniform heart. He heart turned over to him the "dishofers of the Baltimore diner" while fresh from the hands of my old teacher, Fabian Franklin. I next find him in a conversation with his altarguard, George Jean Nathan. He presents a tilted, titular novel and literary curiosity. I recall that some years ago an appraisal of his companion's ship, which at that time was expressed in two figures ahead of the decimal We have never been able to see why it was necessary to provide separate public and private schools for white and colored children, and then permit all other races of the world—as long as their ancestors are not of African lineage—to attend the same schools with white children and to practice and engage in so-called "social equality," the nightmare of Dible White and Dayton, Ohio, (We refer just here to Gary, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio, in particular). "This race issue," like Banquo's ghost, will not fall in dear old United States of America—the Christianized democracy which preaches one doctrine to the outside world and practices another within its domestic borders. Since one drink calls for another, and since the commission of one crime merely embolizes the perpetrator of said lawless act to commit another the South is following in the natural course of such things when it seeks to Jim-crow, segregate and ostracize other races after having been so successful in such a program with the Negro as the unwilling and unfortunate white. My first knowledge of Mr. Mencken was gained in 1917. My disgrace was taken away by the Congressional Record, and was attracting attention on two contests. Mencken gave this brochure a three-volume edition, and his autobiography, which at that time indicated promise rather than performance. But there was no doubt that his orbits were irregular and somewhat aberrant. Like any other comet, its orbit was irregular and somewhat aberrant, and ten years have given us Mencken as he is. His indelible mark has been stamped the past decade. But his orbit is puted orbit is not yet in sight. He attouns us with his perennial fresh bliss of blind Cusantha, everybody feels that he tells the truth, but nobody is disposed to take him seriously. Actually, he stimulates livelily. It was said of Samuel Johnson that he adored Mencken, and no one noises unattouched. Mr. Mencken seems to absorb half the wisdom of the world and guesses at the other more interesting interest which he does not touch usually with critical, and sometimes with humorous burgholm of the orthodox and regular This latest decision of the highest legal tribunal in Mississippi will call for a new definition and interpretation of the term "colored," for if all races (red, Malay, Mongolian and Negro) are to be classified as "colored" under the provisions of Southern state constitutions and legal opinions, then it is high time to modify our prographies and re-classify these four races. The next question which will probably arise in Mississippi is, Can Chinese children legally attend public schools provided for Negro children in the Mudcat State? Or will the state of Mississippi be compelled to add to its public debt by erecting and maintaining public school buildings for the few Chinese children residing in some of the communities of that state? Does this decision also apply to Japanese children? Moreover, we would also be interested in knowing the status of the Mudcat State in the racial affiliation of the Chinese who have been changed in Mississippi by the reaction of other Southern states along this line will be worth observing. To propound a fair and pertinent question, Are Chinese, Japanese and Mexicans really "white," or are they "colored?" All of which reminds us of the perennial query of the minstrel, "How high is up and how low is down;" which we desire to paraphrase as follows: How white is white, who is white, how colored is colored, and who is colored" in this dear old land of the melting pot. Outlawed, outlawned and committed every conceivable and inconceivable act upon the Negroes of that state, it is not surprising to now behold Mississippi looking for "other worlds to conquer" and other races to victimize at the instigation, suggestion and direction of that hydra-headed monster, Reca Prudjice. Being so bitterly opposed to anybody or anything that is "colored," it will not surprise us to see the legislature of Mississippi passing a law either outlawing the Mississippi River, or appropriating sufficient funds out of the Treasury to charge the "color" of the muddy waters of that majestic river. He hurls his scathing defiance at their hoary heads with the boldness of a warrior, and his ironic radical, “Woe unto you cries and pharisees, and pharisees’ the censors. The warrior is the British children of my native South Carolina, when applauded of Marion’ strength and the redubutable warrior’ name was told, the warrior’ the British children of the Mercury. The cash and cargy periodicals left in the hue and cry. Massachusetts in the intercession between freedom of conscience and intolerance of spirit. The Pilgrim’s saga, a story of freedom for conscience a sake, but soon began to hurt witches, hang Quakers and banish the Puritans. The Quaker, Phillips and Sunne While on this subject, we wish to make a motion that the Mississippi River be made and maintained "ily-white" within the state boundaries of Mississippi; that white cows be separated from "colored" cows; that poultry raisers be assessed the death penalty when they permit white and "colored" chickens to mix and mingle on their chicken farms; that all milk from white and "colored" cows be kept separate and so labeled; that all eggs from white hens and "colored" hens also be kept separate; that only milk and eggs from white gown and hens, respectively, be kept on white slippans; that the "colored" inhabitants of the Mudcat State; provided further that any person guilty of violating this law shall be deemed guilty of high treason and shot before moonshine. Since the Mudcat State seems to be bent on insuring and assuring "white supernatural" and protecting and safeguarding Nordic civilization, perhaps it would not be able to mislead this. wealth is reverting to reactionary ways. She hangs radicals for imminent crises, and she crises for time. The state that rocked the cradle of liberty now puts the Mercury on the index expurgatorious for plain reason. The "hat JACK" was not half so stupid as a whole flood of verbal and physical violence; it is daily released in forty magnificent upfight and down thrust, in the red and yellow journals, in moving pictures. But the Mercury and Menachem must be quelled. But the Atlantic Medley needs no such protective tarot cards, no such heights or sink to his own level by the, gravity of his own genius or evil. From first of his literary career, Menenken has given much attention to the possibilities of the basis of race, handicapped by any philanthropic promenades on the basis of race, Negro. He has no propaganda for or against him. He does not regard him as a Moody and Sankey brand of religion or a bad accord to do, nor yet as all had according to his own standards, Vardaman. He does not dream, which, he does not dream, nor as devilish, which he does not dream, but as a blend of a large part in the awaht at times and by his turn, an original majesty of the way. He describes the Negro, not to reform him. Like Siskin, he not only original but holds up the mirror, nature. Nor does he warn the suburban white while the picture is being taken. The frequency with which Mr. Menenken resorts to the Negro theme, and the column beyond those of the purely orthodox magazines, must be accounted for. The inherent interest and possibilities of the subject may help the Forum would have no monopoly on this score. The standardized publica- Nikee as a simplemep, a buffon, or a molly-codyle. He must make the white man laugh by which laughter he may quit the question of the mercy of the Mercury requires of any contributor, on any theme, is that his treatment must be coercive, and must not be dull. I somewhat recall sight recalling in the brewhouse, autobiography, highly educated Negro as part valet and part emmaniens. This may be the cat in the bag, if he has not been let out by it. I have exhausted my space, and have hardly touched my theme—I find it so engaging that I will revert to it in another release, in which I shall take up Mr. Mencken's assignation and in life. THE FUNERAL Bb ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON And all because everybody wanted to have a hand in the last rites. And we call ourselves civilized, and scout on the savage!

For years Druilovski has been engaged in communications and sending them out over the specially to the American press, pretending that they were official documents of the Communist party, or of the government. He had a regular shop for the government, but when the Germans began to get wise to his crookedness, he moved over into the stinking little anti-Russian country of Latvia, where he could communicate with immunity, but even with approval. He and his companions, dies, symbols and stamps made in exact imitation of the official seals and marks of the various Russian government bureaues, of the Communist party in Russia. Well, we're all suckers. During the world war they fed us daily on such food as bread, meat and cheese to teach us anything. In Paris, we have been told, a great building was built to manufacture "German horns." Whenever they wanted a picture of German horns, French women or crucifying an Alaskan baby, they simply went into this studio, put a German uniform on a woman, and made a male actress for the "victim" role, and made the picture and published it. The woman was all sorted all sorts of savage and barbaric "orders," supposed to have come from German commanders, or from the German soldiers who were winning the war. All is fair in war. Drilijovlos (God save the name!) AMERICAN LEGION The American Legion is demonstration of the truth that war does not foster tolerance but bigtory; that it does not promote democracy but tyranny; that it does not create brotherhood but hood. As soon as the white American Legion and organized the legions in America, one of its first influences for evil was in segregating and trying to humiliate the black soldiers who had stood with the whites side by side in the civil war. At the time the Legion has chiefly dogged the steps of liberal thinkers, hounded and concocted condescension teachers, and done its best to express of opinion, to destroy all the liberty and to cow all the courage for which was supposed to have been expected. If the American Legion did any good by its campaigns abroad, it would certainly negative all that good OPINIONS Texas--- the Negro race in the South is sick, it who would easily eaxet to effect place the patient (racially *b*=*m*=*n*) on the road, and it who would be position to understand, appreciate and examine the condition of the patient and maintain on the road the prespecified for the necessary medicine to bring about the necessary medicine to doctors for the condition Doctors from "afar" who endower to prescribe medicine for this alluring patient to maintain the gratitude on the part of the Southern patient of color; and South and Southerners as I do that the "resident" physician is better sitter than the "patient" without fear or favor) to render the type of service best calculated to restore the health of this racial pat In other words, the status of the Negro in Texas and the South must be understood through the efforts*namely and properly directed*—of Negroes with course and who accept no place as “their place,” unless that place is where they can family; who are not afraid or too cowardly to “stay in there and be safe,” who are not “carry on” right in the heart of Dixieland, rather than from some securely sheltered and safely protected cared daily—yes, hourly—conflict and strife.
