'LLV. The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE ASSUMED Despite the fact that the "machie" ruthlessly crushed him and took every undue advantage of his cause and candidacy, the attitude assumed by Rev. E. F. Harrison of Houghton, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, who was literally "robbed" of the election as president of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, during the recent fiasco at Paris, was one concordant note in an otherwise discordant, disgraceful, diabolical, immutable, unbridled program. When it was apparent even to the anti-Harrison forces that the Houston was at the center of the war, that the devout(7) and zealous(7) of religious leaders had been guilty of virtually "rolling crooked die" on the local pass and ehrchman; when it was found that the war was a men and hundreds of Harrison supporters were bitter with resentment and were urging their candidate to remain in the center of the war. The same kind of spirit that the Lowly Nazarene would have shown under similar circumstances, Rev. E. R. Brown, and the new upfront and discontinued any internal fight or rift, but on the other hand, counseled his followers to re-maintain the force of condition. And, as the successful convention under E. A. Arlington Wilson of Dallas, pastor Macedonia Baptist Church. Such a broad-guaged and charitable attitude in the press is a candidate who was proíally, if not the "counted out" of an office by scheming and designing ministerial politicians, speaks in stentorian accents of a calibre and character of such a man. The conductor of this department, while he took no stock in either the pre-convention or convention fracas and was the only one to be held in the state of the state, is willing to give Rev. Harrison the credit we think he deserves. Of course, he pursued the Chris- - of course, he was a holder of duty but, in the face of others of his de- nomational and ministerial brether- es—some of whom were in the min- eral he has been a barfoot boy, chewing rabbit in East Texas and preaching to the trees—who even forgot their lofty and ex- who are the only one who are the Christ calling, and failed to execute the Leader, it was no easy task for a man thus outraged, cheated and robbed, to smile, shake hands and admonish to the same time when he was "forget it" and "remain with the Many heroes have been crowned merely because they performed their duty well, when others failed to measure up to requirements and expecta-tion to be met. They have been placed the hero's halo around the head of Rev. Harrison, and wish to commend and congratulate him for demonstrating the Christ spirit when they were in the庙堂. They have been gotten their Christian duty as to resort to methods, schemes and tricks which would have brought discredit and disgrace upon the denisers of the under-old and habitues of institution. In addition, it is refreshing and reassuring to find one minister in Texas who has not bowed down to Baal, and who persistently refuses to worship such an idol and false deity. When he advised his followers, more than 1,000,000,000 and others, the Houston reverend showed that he possesses unquestionable presidential timber; and, while he was counted out of the office at Paris, right will find him a man who has not had an out-of-the-freeslims of his followers will live to see the day when their cause will triumph—even in Texas for "nothing is settled until it is settled right!".

ARITY CONTEST ONAL INTEREST; CAPITAL AWARDS [Name] DR. ROBERT RUSSA MOTON AN OPEN LETTER By DR. ROBERT R. MOTON Principal Tuskegee Institute, and President National Negro Business League, Tuskegee, Ala. Editor Houston Informer: Tuskegee Inst. Ala. Oct. 8, 1927 — Two recent murders within the same week claimed front page space because of the mystery surrounding them and the cunning with which they were involved. One occurred in Alabama and the other in Arkansas. In the Alabama case a wife was killed and the husband's first wife was killed. The Negro had committed the crime. In the New Jersey case a husband was killed and the wife claimed that Ne Later developments have tended to show that in both instances the accused or the instigators of the crime, or the crime committed in a community where there is a considerable number of Negroes first utterance on the crime, are not "get the Negro." And as a result, gained assistance from colleagues gained assistance from their tracks while the officers of the law and infiltrated citizens are the ones who were worn ruse. And this applies, as the evidence shows, to Michigan as well. The ease with which crime may be perceived via the American life. the practice of the press in giving front page space and large headlines to crime stories is the corresponding effort to publish the corresponding effort to publish the crime of the race, has produced a state of mind where the general public is more interested in the more ancient amusement or accusation that a Negro is the perpetrator of a particle of crime, in the more easily it is believed. The more accurate individual toward whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, but a more serious consequence is that a more serious consequence is that a more of other races is recorded against the more decisive criminality upon the race as a whole and creating a condition of more educational advantages as well as their economic and industrial opp Nor is the effect confined to the Negro. Such incidents are broadcast across the country, with standards of race relations, and it becomes increasingly hard to reconstruct the claim to the moral leadership of the brotherhood of nations. In this, we as a nation are doing ourselves a great task in striking progress that is now being made in race relations in our country and in the country to the courageous and liberal editorial partitions of the South, when the situation has been most acute. It is apparent to all fair-minded people that it is possible for the weakest and most helpless group of our citizenship to be caught on the slightest pretext is not only a gross injustice to the individuals involved, but places upon the people of the Negro the handicap in its effort to establish its claim to the all rights and priviledge of the Negro. There is no disposition on my part to excuse the criminal element in my work enough to the backwardness of the race and to the propaganda against it. I am not aware of the criminals of other race may blacken their faces or otherwise simulate the Negro, or may commit a hateful act by accusing the Negro, a pitiless and arrogant thought on the part of public authorities and all the leaders of public opinion in this country. For the sake of the constitution an active member to the rights and liberties of all classes of our citizens. In my opinion, the Negro faces no difficulty more acute this time than in the past. I have seen the Trece, Lilianedhill and similar murder case. Here, it seems, is an opportunity to apply the spirit of the Inter-racial Commission in community in effecting a simple justice in a nearly as possible, the real facts in such matters before the hasty public opinion of statements added to a flame popular sentiment against a wholly innocent victim and a wholly or criminally upon an entire race.

Yerwood THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1927 Joe Jeanette Proved He Was "Iron Man Against Sam McVea By ALVIN J. MOSES (For The Associated Negro Press) never once took a backward step, while McVea made the audience wonder if Jim Corbett, or any other man who ever lived, could box more scientifically than he. Commencing the 16th round, Jeanette was instructed by dapper Dan McKyrle to get in close, and some of his finest insightful ever witnessed resulted from this move. Joe would tear in, head down like a backing cayuse, his piston-like arm flailing like ministbe windmills. Polsed high on his toes, like a dancing master, McVea would step around the "Iron Man" like a cooper around a barrel, beating a veritable tattoo on Joe's features. From the 19th round until the 48th round of that memorable classic, Jeanette was knocked down by actual count twenty-one times, and after each knockdown had to be fed pure oxygen from tanks that McKetrick had brought into the ringside. Willie Lewis, the old gas house terror, was one of Jeanette's seconds, and, after each knockdown, the west side harp would douse Jeanette with a bucketful of ice-chilled water (gross infraction of the rules). The referee, Maitrol, recognized strong-man of France, was not well-versed in the rules governing the sport, and allowed Joe's handlers to get away with this stuff that would Joe Janetelle, idok of Hoboken, N, J., was rated one of the toughest men the boxing rack has ever known. His numerous battles with Al Kubak, Tony Rose, Jack Johnson and Sam Cain have made him the sublime of "Iron Man." Back in 1909, Sam McVea, of Ox- nard, California, a young brawny rail- splitter was setting Paris agog with his brilliant style of milling. Georges Carpenter, perennial French boxing ace, was just a youngster at that time, and M. McVea was just about the toast of the Parisian boulevard during that era. The masters of the French Academy of Art, invited him to pose for them, and on every hand his marvelous physique was commented upon. Sam McVea cleaned up all the second and fifth rate fighting men of Europe, and the French prom- oters turned their eyes towards America in search of a fit opponent for the sensational McVea. Dan Mc- Ketrie, who looked after the interests of Jennette, was wired an offer that he lost no time in accepting. On February 20, 1909, McVea and Jean- ette squared off in a twenty-rounder that packed the Buffalo stadium to its capacity. McVea, who was the greatest exponent of the left hook that ever lived, outboxed the durable Jeanette, earning the referee's verdict at the end of the contest. The excite- ment crazed Parisians clamored for a return bout between the two stal- warts of swat, and finally they were rematched a little less than two months from their first meeting. This time they were booked to engage in a finish scrap, and it turned out to be one of the hardest fought and most gruelling battles in all the annals of fistiana. N. O.

Paul Quinn made a kick-off, when the Tigers' halfback fumbled a punt, and Gentry covered fumble over goal line. The Tigers' second touchdown also happened in the first quarter. At these points the Tigers showed their only offensive play, the Bears outplayed the Tigers in the other three quarters, making more than twice as many first downs. The Bears' only touchdown came in the last quarter when "thunderbelt" Mitchell climbed into the air and took a pass, racing for a touchdown. Workerweed! Henderson showed up on the field for a loss, while Quarterback Morgan was the outstanding hero for the visitors. Roberts, the outstanding guard for the Bears, was in every play and made many spectacular tackles. Boldin and Murray also did wonderful work in the game for the Bears. Bishop threatened to score again in the last quarter. The spectators felt that Quarterback Hyson, with his team working like a clock, would overtake the visitors before the end. The losing of this game has by no means taken the fight out of the Bears, but has caused their fighting spirit to be increased. The Samuel Huston Dragons will appear on the Bishop field, Oct. 27; Bears are determined to get revenge for last year's defeat. Though Coach Mumford lost his first game by breaks, he still feels that he has a superior team and that the half has not been told.

Palmer and Hayes Battle Hard Draw Before K.C. Crowd (By Charles O'Neal) International Arena, Kansas City, Mo.—(ANP)—Fighting for the great privilege of meeting "Tiger" Flowers here in the next few weeks, Walter "Kid" Palmer, of Tacoma, Washington, and Jerry Hayes of Philadelphia, who helped to condition Dempsey for the Tunney championship fight in Chicago a short time ago, battled ten hard rounds to a draw Thursday night. In the first round of the melee, Palmer staggered Hayes with a right to the jaw and followed with right and left uppercuts to the head and body. Hayes seemed to be taking his time, but lost the round. In the second, he had the Tacoma boy missing, and the frequent clineches gave both a chance to come up strong for the third, which was a nip and tuck affair. Both landed heavy blows to the mid-section which had telling effect. But as the bell rang, Palmer staggered Hayes with a hard right to the jaw. The fourth round found Hayes rushing the "Kid" around the ring connecting with both hands to body and face. In this round, Palmer was on the defensive continually. Early in the fifth, Hayes slipped to the mat but was immediately. The sixth found both men mixing freely from bell to bell, both slipping to the floor in the mix-up. The seventh, eighth and ninth were a repetition of the early ones; both were played by the same maniacs when the bell sent them to the center for the last round, both having to play the ball to the top, but it failed to materialize. Palmer, who has a record of knockouts to his team, was the most tough, tonight, as Hayes proved to be as tough as they make them. The second-windy, furious affair between Denver and "fummy" Williams of Denver, and George Lamb of Leavenworth, Kansas was a scientific asidom seen in present day ring struggles. Both men missed the ball, and the team was in times, and tried hard for a punch that would settle the fracas. Williams settled the fracas. Thomas Deering, a local pugilist, fighting a past master with the ring, tackled by Bryd, a local mulatto boy from Joplin by the name of "Black" tack all over the ring, and Bryd, another local welter, gained all four rounds from T. Holloway, by administering as artistic as a lasting one. Bob Lawson, stabbleme of "Tiger" Flowers, will be seen here in action on the 28th of this month to swap punches with "Big" Bill Hartwell, a local musician who has been weeks later with "KM" Palmer who fought Hayes tonight.

PANTHERS SHOW FIGHT IN GAME WITH LANGSTON Langton, Okla., Oct. 22, 1927.—It took all the brains and brawn to defeat the fighting Prairie View Panthers in their annual gridiron contest the year before, and scored 12 to 6 in Langton's favor. This is the first time any Texas eleven has crossed the goal line of the Oklahomaans and this game has served to stimulate the spirit of the Panthers on the upcoming affray with the Willett Wolverines. The latter played Langton at the Dallas Fair and suffered the stinging defeat of 27 to 0. Napoleon "Hog" Davis, Panther left end, was the first Texas to cross the goal line. Langton had a bad pass from Langton's fullback's shoulder and with "Bull" Bates' assistance scampered across the goal line. The "Four Horsemen" performed well, Gilbert, Turner and Captain Mark McCormick scored. Turner led both teams in yards gained. Langton scored for the second score on the game ten minutes after the first. The second quarter was a battle of no answer. For either team, the Jones and Williams pass combination second to have been rather quiet for the day, Langston completing only one. A result of blocked Panther punt and a few yards gained, Langston made her second touchdown of the game in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was another of no score for either side. The game ended Langston 12, Prairie View, 6.

Coach Abbott's Tigers this season have continued their "winning habit" and intend to continue it. Those who attended the game last year are yet talking about the hectic training and field. Coach Abbott is bringing just about the same retinue of stars to battle Lincoln. There will be Steven Davis, 70-yard run and by making four place-kicks out of five attempts; Todd Wilson, 70-yard run and by making four place-kicks out of five attempts; Willow was down, and Wooten, whose off-field amachies were phenomenal, will be present and working behind the team. Only Captain Kitchen and Duncan will be missing, but, if reports are correct, they will be "lilled by" younger and better men. The Lions, in spite of their set-kicks, will present a much stronger team, smarting under the 20-6 defeat handed them last year by the Southerners, the Pennsylvanians are determined to Last year the Lions entered the final on one rare game under the hot weather, but they had worlds of experience from their opening games. The ends were weak and the defense was weak, held down by Avery and Temple, held down by Avery and Temple, are big, rangy, fast and strong. Such stars as Tobin and Martin, and stacks up well against the mighty Giants, line is better and stronger than last year. In behind this wall, Martin, who, though injured, ran wild last year, Hibbler, who reeled off several long runs, Motley and LeMar will be stuck in the Southeastern conference and be heralded as one of the best punters in the Southeastern conference.

Oct. 16, the Lions developed a strong, but even a fast eleven, rich much reserve man, Matheus. He gave a good account of themselves. Thousands of fans and graduates of each school will throng the National Convention Center, while Tuskegee is the favorite by long odds, Lincoln supporters are expressive and passionate, turning point and Lincoln will emerge victorious. Lincoln have found no end of encouragement from the manner in which the variability has been able to keep the team moving. They have scrimmaged during the past week. With Captain Bellay back in the team, the attack will be more powerful and much stress has been laid on forming a defense to stop Ballay on his off-tackle. With the Lions determined to a average last year's defeat, and the team's defense has been a real game will be a real thriller and worth the time and money thousands of fans will pay.

BURKE When a surprise is a surprise, it is all the more enjoyable. Inadvertently, it leaked out that Prof. J. D. Ryan, principal JACK Yates High School, was having a birthday on Friday, 11 December, and 27 teachers and 160 students had a secret. Quietly small sums made large sums and secretly cognitively thoughts were remembered and learned. Mrs. Ryan was urged to be present in the secret and at 12 o'clock sharp everybody at Jack Yates assembled in the auditorium of the school. Wendell Hayes of the L4 class went to the office of the principal and told Mrs. Ryan that he was confronted by a sea of eager faces who made the welkin ring with Mr. Ryan and confronted by the matter with Mr. Ryan and that everybody said so and everybody was impressed. Florence Kennedy, another member of the L4 class, in a winnowome congratulated the principal on his achievement, and presented him many more, and presented him a floral tribute, indicative of his three-foot pedestal basket, containing a dozen giant golden chrysanthemum flowers. Nerver was there such a tremendous, humiliating demonstration of student arrogance that he was completely surprised, but, as he was completely surprised, and accepted the tribute, it tilted.

The annual educational exercises, which were held in Livingstone Hall, were attended by the largest array of educators proactively involved in the institution which ever gathered at the institution which more than seventy students attended. The education for Negro youth at Lincoln University was found in Dr. Johnson's inaugural address, in which he outlined the history of Lincoln University and the triumphs of the alumni and friends of the institution his program and plans for a greater Lin- Demand For College Trained Men Dr. Johnson, who has been a member of the university faculty for more than a score of years, pointed out that the need for a college education and women was increasing yearly and the desire for a college education was increasing desire on the part of Negro youth is reflected in the fact, as the doctor said: "Twenty-five years ago this in the past we found students for the college. Now we are forced to turn students away from the lack of sufficient facilities." This condition, however, will not continue to obtain, if the plan for the college is not met. This program, as set forth by Dr. Johnson, includes increased dormitory facilities and equipment to meet the demand. Lincoln's Ambition Made Known According to Dr. Johnson, "The ambition of Lincoln University is to send out men who will be known in the world who have been schooled in a scientific manner, who have in their hands the power to value of scholarship in its service to society; who revere the great spirit of learning from the past lessons for the present; who have obtained the clarity of understanding untroubled gaze home to the instant need of things; who are cultivated in the arts; and with a general outlook upon life and with a will disciplined in softmanics so as to be able to master the arts." We would like to turn out scholars from Lincoln University, but scholars from other universities. A. "I wish to announce to my many friends that I am now with the Victory Wilson Clothiers at 508 Main Street, (up-stairs). "You will find suits down-stairs priced from $5 to $15 higher than Victory Wilson prices. "If you are not in a position to pay cash for your Suit or Overcoat, a small deposit will hold for you and at the same time give you the benefit of the cash prices. "Quit paying some one's bills and pay cash for your clothes and wear the difference, which will buy you a new hat and a pair of shoes. "It will be a pleasure for me to show you the greatest clothes values in Houston. Come on up and see me!" Victory Wilson INCORPORATED UPSTAIRS CLOTHIERS When you are choosing a means of transportation, you throw your safety, time and personal comfort into the balance. When you add economy to those considerations, the decision is overwhelmingly in favor of the street car. and a sense of humor that their scholarship will be fruitful."

Afro-American: You may not be interested in the personal interests of the big mogula of Pythiandom, but you will get some food for thought out of the no-quarter Texas editor of the Houston Informer and Pythian Supreme Chancellor S. Dixon, who wrote the supreme grand lodge to jim crow Dick. F. Richardson, whose courage and straight-shouldered criticisms of the wrong wronger occasioned him to renewer with death, flings the inference that the supreme chancellor kept the 1927 law that he supreme chancellor has saved his job and not because of fear of jim crow and discrimination. F. Richardson has replied to the supreme chancellor in which he candidly says that for 45 years the biennial session has refused to meet his meeting in its meeting to the far South. Strangely enough the Pythian order jurisdictions being Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, and other far north states in Mississippi, but it has never carried its biennial meeting to the state of Vardaman. F. Richardson strategy is to fight jim crow on jim crow's soil, while green fawls establish a settlement. Pound the enemy, says the editor, with your big grun of organized power, and you can make what is a little personal danger to a group when fundamental issues and rights are at stake? The next biennial session goes to Indianapolis, the state of Ku Klux Republican and of growth. Take your choice between the philosophy of Editor Richardson and of ideas are worth thinking about. GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN! The Kansas City (Mo.) Call: That's the advice offered editorially by the Tattler, of New York City, the author of *The New York Times*. Houston Informer, in a "plain talk" editorial, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the South, and takes a look at the role of Richardson can, at the opinions of Northerners and Easterners regarding the South. Whether you believe the South is the place to go or a good place to get married, you can learn two thought-provoking editorials from two widely separated sections of the country. Turn to the editor's page, listened to, read. Nine years ago a very prominent Houstonian, standing on the corner of Milan and Houston, for a friend made a mistake in attempting an eight-page journal in Houston at time he is: he distinguished gentleman, know what he was talking about I will leave for he decide—after you have gone to Houston, he asked Houston, and asked for Meersa Richardson and Webster, bosses of the finest printing plant in the South.

This news not only disappointed the son, but also disappointed several Houstonians; for the Houston Negro Business League had planned a smoker for the Philadelphia banker, and had planned a ruit week of envelopes to make bad matters worse. Dr. Wright, the son, arrived in the city for morning and evening meetings, and thus later the sire nor the son was able to accept the genuine type of Southern business, and are accustomed according to the sire. Visiting Texas for the first time in 10 years, the junior Wright observed many changes and remarked that he was not a slave. The reception he had received at other points proved to him that racial relations have improved considerably in this city. In this connection, Editor Wright commisses to write an article in a sub-specialty dealing with and discussing the Lone Star State commonwealth, as Bishop Wright, Editor Wright, or plain Rev. Wright.

(8, 1937, by Western Paper Union.) Lesson for October 30 AMOS DENOUCHES BIN (World's Temperance Sunday.) LESSON TEXT - Amos 24-11. HE LOVES the Lord, and not evil, that ye may live, and so the Lord the God of Israel shall be with PRIMARY TOPIC - The Punishment JUNIOR TOPIC—What God Thinks of We of Sin IMMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—I Way the Drink Traffic Is Proposed YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS TOPIC—Intermence and Associative Evil Amos, a shepherd and tradesman (Amman 7.14, 15) was called to prophey for God. He was neither in the church nor trained in the prophetic schools. 1. The Sine of Judah (2.4, 5). In the first part of the book men were called to surround nations. The aim, doubtless, was to show that there is no escape from God's judgment. The nation or审判 will be judged (Num. 32, 23). 1. They despised the law of the Lord. To despise means to spurn, to disregard. To despise God law is a law of the Lord. A slave raped from judgment for such as do his (Hos. 10, 28, 2). 2. Failed to keep the Lord's command. The disobedience logically follows the despairing of God's law. It not only robs of blessings in this life, but rests on eternal destruction (II. Thess. 1, 3). 3. Lies caused them to err (v. 4). Because they despised God law, they robs and conduct are inseparable. Thinking wrong precedes doing wrong. This was literally fulfilled a century and a half later in the capture of Jerusalem by the Chadians (2 (2-8). The message of the prophet now comes directly to the northern kingdom. 2. "Sold the righteous for silver" (v. 3) The judge, for a bribe of silver, desired the惩罚 to be guilty. 2. "Sold the poor for a pair of shoes" (v. 6) The judge to the practice of selling into slavery the debtor who could not pay for a pair of shoes which had been sold on him at time. 2. "Sold the poor on the earth on the beds of the poor" (v. 30) The word "pent" means to easily feel. So availble had these men to sell their shoes on the earth which the down-roofed poor upon their heads in mourning because of their misery. 2. "Sold inside the way of the week" (v. 7) These grapping rich men turned into slaves and would not stand up for their rights. 3. Licitousness (v. 7) No solemnous but humiliated persons were even guilty of incestuous prostitution. This was not merely the case of falling into serious sin, but was indulged in with the God-provoking His holy name. They not only frequented the place of Idalous worship, but lay down on the ground in the garden. Frank wine bought with money exported from the poet in injustice last year (p. 12). His manifold biossay and Hilar goodness are now presented in contrast with the base practice of the session, in order to heighten the pleasure of the audience. 2. Delivered from cruel bondage (v. 2). God set them free from the crust slavery of the Egyptians. Every remeigned one has been free from a more cruel bondage than that of the Egyptians (John 8:34-30). 3. Led them for forty years in the wilderness. The wilderness wandering is a wonderful story, showing the tender and mitinal leading of God. God not only bestowed great honor upon them in this, but favored them in raising up prophets from among the Egyptians. God also and guilt are here shown in that they not only turned the prophets from among the Egyptians but gave them to drive Faith Faith never refers to self, but always to the Word of God. There are three ways to believe: to believe before they have believed the truth, and to feel that they are believed the truth.

He argues that the retail field enter this field the race must divert some of its better trained men and women into the retail field of the surplus capital of Negro banks, insurance companies and fraternal organizations.

BARCLAY THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927 SOUTH AFRICAN ASTONISHED AT RACE PROGRESS Atlanta, Ga. — "To a visitor from South Africa the progress which the American Negroes have made is amazing, almost beyond belief," was the statement of Miss A. M. E. Ex. head of the Girl Wear Club at a sociology department, visiting of three days to this city, observing the educational and economic conditions of colored people, "I am especially pleased," she said, with the fine response Negroes are making to the educational opportunities which the African community offers. Their progress in this line is most encouraging to those who are working among South African natives, an assurance of native capacity when Miss Excel was most favorably recognized in progress which Negroes are willing, expressing autonomy to find that they have successfully ensured insurance and business institutions. "Most of our African natives, said, have had no education, now education, and of course, no beginnings of such business enterprises as seem to be needed in the America. I have been greatly pleased by the racial friction or antagonism. On the contrary, it is most gratifying to observe the degree in which the two races have harmoniously and for the common welfare. I glad I came South," she concluded, "because what I have seen difficult to make my friends believe PREVENTS INFECTION The greatest discovery in flesh healing is the marvelous Boronose, a compound that helps the flesh to liquid powder forms.

WRIGHT LAMBASTS MENCKEN'S ATTACK ON COLORED PREACHERS Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, while in Chicago this week, took exceptions to the recently published article of H. L. Menken in the New York World, in which the clergy of the race was attacked. Said Dr. Wright: "Menken is a clever man, but so far as the Negro is concerned, not an accurate thinker. He makes wholesale statements which he cannot substantiate. As he now admits, his statements are the musical composers of the race were too sweeping; he will change his view if he ever takes time to study the Negro church. "He says that the Negroes have been impoverished because of the church. He does not state the facts. But here they are. The Negroes give $15,000,000 by the largest estimate to the church in a year. That is about $1.20 per Negro per year, or about 10 cents per month. How can he say that ten cents per month impoverishes the people? He further states that in his home town, Baltimore, the Negroes wasted their accumulations in buying churches. The fact is, Mr. Meneken is talking from what somebody told him, and he was misled. The most costly church, with the highest steeple, bought by colored people of Baltimore was Bethel A. M. E. Church, which cost about $100,000. All the Negro churches bought by Negroes of Baltimore during the war did not cost $1,000,000; that is less than $10 per Negro. The fact is that the Negro of the United States pays less than three cents on a dollar of his earnings for churches.

"But a further fact is that Mr. Matenko believes in that the Negro has to know for the three cents he puts into the church than any other church to spend ten cents in pleasure, but if the race were to liquidate today the church would spend 150,000,000.

If he will divide the race to an intelligence between church goers and non-church goers, the built of Negroes in church goers. Mencen has evidently touched only a few New York intellectual Negraes. The foundation of Negro education was made by the church. Today the largest Negro publishing houses are those of the church, but they are magnificently undecultured. We suspect Mr. Mencen will find many of these publications. It is a fact that there are more preachers who graduate from college than there are Negro lawyers. It is a fact that there are Negro professors, the Negro ministry has more Ph.D.'s from our great universities, Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Pennsylvania, and other such institutions have the degree of Ph.

For remember the church in the only organization of the church in the world, race as a whole and has partially succeeded. While there are thousands of Negoes in Negoes which have no Nego doctor, there are very few which have no Nego church. And wherever these people are, they have a ward.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927 ARE NEGRO PREACHERS IN A RUT? The recent article by H. L. Menenck, white author and editor, criticising the Negro h. l. ministry, has caused much favorable and unfavorable discussion among our group throughout America, and, though the article in question appeared several months before the country divided into two schools of thought on the subject. While admitting that some of our ministerial brethren do not come up to expectations and requirements, either intellectually, spiritually, morally or otherwise, and, while admitting that the ministers of our race have done much, either through acts of violence or through the use of ignorance and abject poverty, (preaching much about celestial things and teaching little or nothing about terrestrial things) the fact remains that the Negro preachers have rendered a distinct and signal service to both their racial contingent and the abreast with their constituents; and, in many instances, we discover that the congregation is head and shoulders above its pastor in many respects. Apparently, too many of our ministers have gotten into a rut; improve their situation and unconcerned about studying and improving their status; and, in many instances, give their members a true and proper conception of their duty and responsibility to their fellowman, as well as to God. However, this getting into a rut seems to be a racial characteristic not merely confined to ministers; but it is more marked in this field, due to the fact, chiefly, that very few young men of color are ministerial leaders in the country, and thus competition is not as keen as in professional lines. Each year sees a large number of young people graduating from the professional institutions of learning throughout the country, and when they embark into their chosen fields of human endeavor it means that those already engaged in said professions are now entering the workforce and are ground to the more intelligent and better prepared young people. There is a death of ministerial timber, and our ministers, with a few notable exceptions, do not encourage young men to dedicate and consecrate themselves to the ministry—the highest, greatest and noblest of earthly calling. They colored physicians, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers, teachers, editors and business men and women encouraging young people to prepare themselves for such vocations, and lending all possible assistance to these young people in their quest for knowledge and training along these special lines. We find that too many of our ministers are really lazy and indulgent in their own pursuits, and do not prepare their sermons; but will weekly enter the pulpit and attempt to feed their flock on ill-prepared spiritual meals; resulting in either spiritual indignation on the part of the members, or spiritual malnutrition. No child can grow into a robust and healthy youngster who is not properly fed, and an under-fed and under-privileged child who is not made a premature death or go through life seriously handicapped. The Great Teacher knew that his followers must be fed on the sincere milk of the word, and recognizing that fact, he counseled Peter to "feed my lambs" and "feed my sheep". Are our coloured shepherds feeding their stocks with a species of livestock that are more intelligent and assure their healthy growth and spiritual development? Will the same brand of food or the same manner in which it was prepared and served by our shepherds to their flocks immediately after the enancipation of the Negro, satisfy the spiritual needs of the people? Should our ministers preach all the time about heaven and the hereafter, or should they teach some about earthly things and the herenow? Or may they be said to the contrary about Negro preachers (and this may seem like a paradoxical statement), it must be admitted that they have also done their race and society an incalculable and immeasurable amount of good; and, even with their human imperfections and shortcomings, the Negro ministers still wield more power and exert more influence upon the race than they do. Since this is evidently true, it behoves those who essay to serve God and man from the "burning altar" to prepare themselves so as to fully measure up to their heavy responsibilities, and to live and conduct their ministerial lives so that men will see the importance of their service. Reduced to its lowest common denominator, Christianity is best exemplified in deeds rather than in discourses, in performances rather than in prayers, in unselfish service to humanity rather than in secrecy to thundered down the earth. Reduced to this heinous little lesson: "He that would be greatest among you, let you be servant of all." NEGRO ODD FELLOWS AND PRINTERS! The Informer has observed that—in launching its member ship drive, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Texas of which Prof. G. W. J. Wacken of Corissiana, Texas, is grand master—the small placards which have recently been posted in Hous America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper ton advertising the campaign for women, were not printed in a printing office operated and owned by members of that order or of the Negro race. When the grand lodge convened in Houston in August 1925, the late Grand Master H. G. Gore's recommendation was unanimously adopted, pledging and committing the grand lodge officers to have all printed matter of the order done in Negro printing offices; but, judging from some of the printed annual reports of the grand lodge, Samuel A. Sanders had placards now being employed in the fall membership drive, it appears that some of the grand lodge officers are not only failing to practice what they preach, but they are ignoring the unanimous will of the grand body as expressed in a vote at the 1925 grand session. If there were no printing offices operated by members of the order or race; or if these colored print shops could not produce the class and calibre of work desired by these grand lodge officers, then they might be pardoned for taking colored people's money and spending it in such a manner with printing establishments owned and operated by other races—shops where Negroes serve in annual capacities, and in some instances, where the "brother" is not employed at all. WITH SEVERAL FIRST-CLASS, MODERN PRINTING PLANTS IN TEXAS OWNED AND OPERATED NOT ONLY BY MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE, BUT BY NEGRO ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER IS UNABLE TO COMPREHEND ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER WOULD REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE THESE RACE PRINTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON THE JOB WORK. Is Race I (BY KELLY) This release is from an article in the contribution, contributed by Sociology. Is race prejudice parallel, which cannot be by any means at all, in the merely by chance in annual capacities, and in some instances, where the "brother" is not employed at all. WITH SEVERAL FIRST-CLASS, MODERN PRINTING PLANTS IN TEXAS OWNED AND OPERATED NOT ONLY BY MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE, BUT BY NEGRO ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER IS UNABLE TO COMPREHEND ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER WOULD REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE THESE RACE PRINTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON THE JOB WORK. IN THIS CONNECTION IT SEEMS PECULIARLY STRANGE THAT NEGRO WOODPAPERMEN, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS ARE ALWAYS URGED TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL GRAND LODGE OF THE TEXAS ODD FELLOWS AND TO PUBLISH THEM. We want them to CARRY LENGTH NEWS STORIES IN THEIR PUBLISHERS ABOUT THE "DOINGS" OF THE GRAND SESSION, AND THEN WHEN SOME LITTLE PRINTING JOB IS TO BE DONE, SOME OF THE GRAND OFFICERS WILL COMPLETELY IGNORE THESE SELFSAFE NEGRO PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS—WHO ARE STRONG SUPPORTERS OF THE NEGRO PRINTERS. We want THEIR JOB WORK TO MEN WHO ARE NEITHER IDENTIFIED WITH THE ORDER NOR MEMBERS OF OUR RACIAL CONTINGENT. It is rather funny how some of our race leaders, in trying to sell their proposition to the Negro race, will seek to capitalize "race pride" and sell their proposition largely on the grounds of color; and then when it comes to practicing what they preach and what they broadcast to the world, these same leaders will publish their work. The Holy Writ asserts that "he who provideth not for his own household is worse than an infidel, and hath denied the faith." If this be true from a domestic standpoint, is it any less true from a religious, fraternal and economic standpoint? The Informer has no particular fuss to raise with any of the grand lodge officers of the Fellows in this state, but this paper is unalterably opposed to their program of using Negro publishers and printers to boost their order and its directing heads, and then when they have some job printing to be done, that give such work to these same Negro printers and publishers. If the principles of this order and fraternity mean anything at all; if they are not as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals," then no "hearty" Odd Fellow would dare pursue such a policy and practice such a doctrine so diametrically at variance with the principles, tenets and shilboeths of this "grand, old order." This is no selfish contention on the part of The Informer; for if these grand lodge officers are of the opinion that our printing department can not do the work properly and meet competition, both as to character of work and prices, they should bear in mind that there are other Negro printing plants in Texas—fully equipped and prepared to do practically all the job printing of the Texas Negro Fellows of color, but of all the Negro orders in Texas combined. Gentlemen, permit the Informer to suggest that you obey the mandate of the 1925 grand lodge, and thereby give the Negro publishers and printers (most of whom are Odd Fellows, and who have invested large sums of money to equip and operate modern printing plants) at least a chance to bid on your job printing. As a matter of fact, no such resolution should be necessary in a purely Negro organization, which depends wholly and solely upon the Negro race for all its support, strength and success; and, The Informer hopes that the grand lodge officers, who are responsible for this policy, will see to it that their policy will be implemented, and prove detrimental both to them, the order and the race, will no longer be pursued, practiced, sanctioned or condoned by them. "DARKY MELODIES:" "DARKY SINGERS!" In an attempt either to be facetious, funny or familiar, two of our daily white newspapers, in referring to the musical program rendered by a chorus from Prairie View State College at the City University of New York, to the American Banker Association, employed the word, "darky", which is very distasteful to every self-respecting and race-loving Negro man, woman and child. The Negro does not relish the idea nor admire the practice of being called "darky" and "nigger" any more than the white man does. The Negro does not respect the writer etc.; and it was not necessary for the writers on these two Houston daily newspapers to refer, either to the music or singers, as "darky melodies" sung as only the "Southern darky" can sing them. fact, they are not "darky melodies", but Negro spirituals, jubilees and folk songs—the only typical American music of any noteworthy character, consequence and charm; and, while these songs are sung for the entertainment, enlightenment and edification of white auditors, they are not sung with the idea that the white newspapers will sneeringly and opprobriously allude to the music as "darky melodies" and to the race singers as "darky singers". Just such newspaper jibes and thrusts as the ones which appeared in these two Houston newspapers—one a morning publication and the other an afternoon publication—account, in a way that the two newspapers are part of so many Negroes to sing these songs to white audiences. the white daily newspapers of Houston are to refer to these songs as "the darky melodies," and if the intelligent young members of the race (such as composed the large chorus from *Fragrant* and *Dear Dear* college) are to be referred to as "darky singers," it were better to refer to the principal and musical directress of the school refuse to consider any further engagements of this nature in Houston. Just why these two white newspaper editors should wait until the city was filled with distinguished visitors from all sections of the country, at the annual meeting of the financial leaders of America, to insult the entire colored race, rather puzzles us; unintentionally, they insult the entire colored race; they still regard the Negro in Houston as a "thing" (something to be played with or to have fun with) and not a human being. It was certainly an unkindly cut and a blow administered the race and community below the belt; and no intelligent and decorated person could be more interested in visiting those not addressed as "darkies," "niggers," etc., will use such insulting language either in his speeches or writings. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings Is Race Prejudice Innate Or Acquired? M (By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.) His release is composed of extracts his doctrine where he goes. The an article under the above maps contributed by the writer to the number of the Journal of AP- Sociology. These various forms of modifications race prejudice a natural anti-racism bias and variations parake of the nature cannot be importantly affected, although minority races cannot be importantly affected, rather than natural aversion. This release is composed of extracts from an article under the above caption, contributed by the writer to the journal *The Journal of Applied Sociology*. Is race prejudice a natural antipathy, parallel with other instincts which cannot be importantly affected by any means at human command or is it merely a stimulated animosity, the outgrowth of circumstances and conditions which may be modified mollified, or removed with provoking conditions? This query is not merely an idle intellectual curiosity stimulating abstract mental gymnastics. Upon its answer depends all of our programs of race relationship. The significance of the outcome cannot be overestimated. If the various races of mankind are instinctively antipathetic, we must revise all of our received religious and ethical teachings. The claims of Christianity would become absurd, democracy impossible, and the brotherhood of man impossible. If Japan and England are so diverse in their physical and psychic make-up that there must needs be eternal enmity between the two bloods for all time, then amiable relations are impossible. There are few, certainly unimpossible racial varieties of mankind. If nature has implanted in the structure of each irrevocable aversion for the rest, according to the law of permutation there would be one-hundred-twenty varieties of racial antipathies, each reenforcing and strengthening the other. What basis would there be for the optimistic prophecy of peace on earth good-will among men? Every advance in knowledge and achievement in science and invention would but hasten the universal holocaust. 4. There is no discoverable aversion to the closest personal contact and personal association and assumption of races, but rather to social familiarity and assumption of equality between the mistress and the maid, experience the closest touch and contact without fear of feeling of aversion or antipathy, so long as the traditional social relations of the master drive the master to the depot, riding side by side and chew to jaw, raising an outey if made a joint occupation. The master complacent companion of the auto or the burgey ride. The Negro maid may ride in the Fullman car, but not as a lady paying her own fare. All these absurdities and nature of race prejudice.

Race prejudice is exhibited in varying degrees of intensity by differing societies, and seems to be stronger in the Nordic countries in the American continent. It is assertive in Germany. It is France. The Mahadomen show leaes of it to the Christian; the Catholics to the American Protestant introduced it to the Catholic and Porto to the American policy. It is all but unknown in Brazil. The observed difference in attitudes between Richmond, Virginia, can hardly be accounted for on the basis of in- Gun, did u'y reed buet dum Hampunstudyuuts streuckin an fauin ternkumstudyuuts streuckin an fauin dere showk!

The biologists tell us that natural antipathy hardly exists among varieties of the same species. The yellow people of the earth are but varieties of the human species. Abundant people of the earth may interfere with facility which they intertwined. If the observed attitudes of the German towards the Japanese or the French must be explained on the ground of innate aversion, then how shall we account for the emotional cause of the Gaul, the Saxon and the Celt? 1. Race prejudice is mainly a one-sided passion, and does not work with prejudice and discrimination. The antipathy of the black towards the white is not alleged and is not born out by the facts of observation. It is not born out to the inferior, and not counterbalance. If the apparent aversion were reciprocate like that between cut and uncut, it would be all but conclusive. On the other hand, it is often asserted that race prejudice is a negative property that race prejudice is an antinative antithetic. The inferior always pays homage to the superpower, and that race prejudice is higher station in our social scheme; the Negro desires to be like him for the advantage which such likeness represents. The inferior always would doubtless be a reverent of racial attitudes which crevice wealth, coarseness would acquire culture, impirience strives to increase in power. There is never a difference in the quality of race prejudice indicates strongly that it is of the nature of other acquired prejudices and is not counterbalanced.

Interbreeding is the acid test of natural antipathy, the race of human beings who will be no cross progeny on the face of the globe. The mutual willingness and frequency with which the men in the world have embraced ethnic diversity interbreeding proves their essential physical and emotional and cultural existence. The coerced instance where human beings have been brought into contact where they have refused to cross-breed. The coerced instance where other men have leaped antipathy. The composite progeny in all parts of the world where they have refused to cross-breed. The coerced instance where other men have leaped this point unnecessary. Two million mitations in the United States ought to have been missed in this point.

Race prejudice does not manifest itself in infancy, and appears only after it has been stimulated by adult instruction. There are certain instincts, passion for example, which do not assert themselves until a certain stage of maturity has been reached, but they are always self-operative without any outside imposition. There does not seem to be any creditable evidence that race prejudice has ever asserted itself among children of different races aside from parental or other external stimulation. By imbibing prevailing social opinion any form of prejudice can easily be instilled in the minds of the young. By deliberate instillment every white parent in the South deems it his social duty to the white child to foster the feeling and belief that he is different from, better than, and superior to the black child with whom he is thrown in contact. This parental teaching is reenforced by social environment. Differences in feature of face, color of skin, and texture of hair are pointed to as proof positive. The history of race relationship, as master and slave, is appealed to, as well as the wide disparity of the social situation of the two group being pointed out. Such insistent and persistent preachment is calculated to give the acquired prejudice the stubbornness and the strength of instinct. This feeling is proportional to the prevalence of the preachment. It would be aidless from the press' contention of introduce here the irreversible or mental capacities of the difficult progeny is feeler than, equal to, or superior to either or both the progeny of the same parent, ever, interesting it may be within itself, can have little or no bearing upon the question of natural antic Bin upet her diction by gittin awl dew learnin yu kin, frem overwhear yu kin is de basis uw awl rashl progris. we kin is de basis uw awl progris. we kin also exsertze de rites uv aik lack laddes an jintunnus.

Marriage is a social institution established for the purpose of marriage between sexes according to approved standards. It is a purely voluntary agreement into which both parties agree to form a loving heart. It presupposes physical harmony and emotional accord. Here we have a man relationship. If there were such a thing as natural racial antipathy, intermarriage between the races would be impossible. Our hopes, Gus, is in our chillins, an I sho wanter peat it ingr, we gatter stop dodgin de byin vu chilln, an I sho wanter peat it ingr, on us we gotter, goat en, rie rn And yet cross-marriages are so illicit in the community with fixed social ties that not leave the matter to individual preference and predilection. Unimmunized people in such races would prefer to marry in such races if they were not forbidden to do so. There is an of public opinion and the restraint on such cases. public cisterns state laws forbidding intermarriage between whites and Monaco black, if natural antipathy could be relied upon to uphold the prevailing laws forbidding unions prows public nine states of the Union have enacted laws forbidding cross-marriages as a distinctive racial antipathy. When men meet the laws of nature or of the cistern upon their professed belief in the existence or the validity of the cistern upon their professed public opinion. We are told that a law French wives during the World War. Citation of the facts of intermarriage is not advocacy of it. Whether it is necessary, or not, must be determined on the basis of reason apart from that adduced that individuals, in numbers, persist in preferring to marry across the cistern upon public opinion, an answer to the question "Is Race Preferable Inmate An spekin uv dodgin de sponzer an spekin uv dodgin de sponzer tari sie stil huvu huvu time, dieh wole ue is pasin out we doin our durdest terd keep *mo* frum 3. Race prejudice is clearly modifiable by time, place and circumstance. It varies in intensity in individuals, and in some instances wholly disappears. All of which is directly contrary to instinctive antipathy. Negro race prejudice is stronger in South Carolina than it is in California, but Japanese race prejudice is stronger on the Pacific coast than in the Palmetto state. The Civil War, by engendering the passion for human liberty, all but wiped out the feeling for half a generation and wrote the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the federal constitution, intended to hold its main dignity in check for all time to come. One white person in a Negro environment all but forgets his race prejudice, but is quickly reminded when reenforced by a number of his own color. A handful of Negroes in Maine arouses little or no race reaction, but the multitude of blacks in Mississippi awakens it into the vigorous life and assertive power.
