Houston Community Chest Drive Nov.14-19,'27 CALL GARY RACE MARTYRS TRAITORS CITY EDITION VOLUME IX CALL The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON ANOTHER STAR QUITS COURSE In the passing of Florence (Flo Mills, the favorite Negro singer and comedienne, whose fame is as pro- nounced in Europe as in America, a wonderful artist, has quit the waits of men and her stage career end ab- ruptly just when she was reaching the crest of the theatrical wave. Once again we see the inconsistency of our people; how we refuse to accept or help make an artist until some white producer or agent take charge of said artist and proclaims to the world that she or he is the season's buffalo kill. Then, after the white producers take them and tell us and the world that said race artists are among the country's celebrities, we begin to argue on street corners and write columns of matter discussing our wonderful Negro artists, the race's capabilities along artistic lines and how our group excels and surpasses other races in finding and developing talent. To be perfectly frank and candid, I have said for a while that the artistic promoter, who immediately recognized the artistic ability of Miss Mills when she appeared in a program given as a benefit performance for the members of the artists organization in New York, some two or three years ago, this colored artist more than likely would have spent the balance of her days on the stage in almost obscurity. But those who thought little of her histrionic ability and artistic talent before she was acclaimed by the white press as an outstanding stage celebratory, she said, for a while that she was the race who ridiculed her early stage efforts and had repeatedly consigned her to the theatrical scrap-pile, were some of the loudest weepers at her funeral, and sent some of the largest floral designs. It seems a pity that one so young, brilliant and talented should be called from labor to reward at such an early age, yet we are ever mindful of the fact that Death is no respecter of persons; visiting the hovel of the poor and the mansion of the rich, the high and the powerful and the weak; and before his deadly assault man is hopelessly helpless and can only bow his head in humble submission to the great Creator of the universe. RACE BURIES MUCH MONEY If newspaper reports of the huge sums of money spent for the copper, the company has been on the trade of the New York City, who was unrealized in New York City last Sunday, as a crowd estimated at 150,000 lined the street. The street was at the end of the time to find to be 27 blocks in length, and the correct, it begins to appear that the Southern "brother" is not alone in the practice of the�y too much money. The daily newspaper reports said that the Mills casket cost $10,000 and fully $16,000, and the cost of theக்குing, but in the ground, is appalling and alarming. All of which reminds us of a story, a old man being a man who was lost to his husband by death, and was the sole beneficiary of a $300 policy. The lodge to which the late husband belonged gave $75 for or on the funeral, and, in order to give her husband a decent funeral (which was right as proper) was paid $175 for a policy money. After perfecting all arrangements for her husband's funeral, the wife started on a shopping expedition and began to work on a money right and left for this and that. Finally, a friend accompanying her obtained the following information about the delivery of $25 for the morning of the remaining $125 for mourning clothes, and this friend kindly reminds her that he was spending much for mourning, and that she ought to remember that she had to live after the funeral. This is a new, a narrowing widow with a shrug of the shoulder, replied: "Humph! when A'h moans, A'h moans!" In this column last week we told of our fight with Battil' LaGrieve; how the demon glider almost made our teammates fall in battle; our memorable Sunday morning battle; how this writer did remain a hero upon a, the tumey, we arose and continued our struggle with the lurping.

Durham, N. C.—The Negro business man should be especially interested in the stock-taking and fact-finding conference to be held in Durham, December 7-9. For just about two short generations, the Negro of America has been going through the essential process of race development and adaptation to the complex life about him. The manifestations of his group endeavor are many, but so great has been this supply this need through several organizations and institutions that too little time has been given to a thorough analysis and check-up by these several agencies on their relationship to each other and the measure and effect of actual achievements for the general welfare of the race. It therefore, we agree that it is timely now, general readjustments are made in the life of American people, that his restless endevor to get an endowment to get stock of his status quo and as regards on which there can be reconscription to the service of the Negro, and re-registration of all ambitions of the Negro, and re-direction on the greatest requisite for continued growth, namely, cooperation through friendly contact and sympathetic understanding. The Negro business man must be for his group, as every other business man is to the people he serves, not only a successful and capable individual but also an intelligent and substantial cooperative development which has put America in the vanguard of commercial and industrial prosperity. The Stock-Taking and Fact-Finding conference will do much to enlarge the appreciation of this important discipline in attainment of racial or national economic independence. Thus, too, there are close up observations to be made, frank exchanges to be had, and personal contacts to be cultivated in Negro business and cooperation and understanding in this phase of development of Negro welfare without serious handicap alike to established Negro business and the aspiring Negro people.

COHEN BATTLING TO RETAIN POWER AS G.O.P. LEADER New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Walter Cohen, controller of customs of New Orleans, and for a number of years the awed head of the Republican party, Mr. Cohen, has led the life of his life to keep from being outfired from the seat of power by scheming and ambitious whites. His struggle to retain his power and position as secretary of the state party bids away to a biff in the G.O.P. of the state. Indications that the whites were after Mr. Cohen's position were revealed some time ago when statements were circulated that the G.O.P. could never hope to build a real party as a major force in the state. According to those promoting the program, Negroes could remain in the party and might hold a few minor positions. This propaganda was intended to help the party be immediately directed for battle. According to reports Mr. Cohen appeared at the meeting of the Republican central committee and assumed control without delay and further house. The situation is muddled and becomes more so with each meeting. The situation is ever, is yet in the seat of power and according to him, right will trump nationals and be nationally the regular organization. "illly-whites" recently held a southern Republican convention here to various Northern papers. Their conference described them as "black domination." TO DETHRONE COHEN New Orleans, La.—(A N P) —Negroes and whites will battle-out for supremacy in the districts in the primary election of January 17, for members of the state central committee of the NAACP, and for members of the mary may decide the future standing of Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs and leader of the regular Republican party in Louisiana. Cohen's leadership was given a shock at the meeting of the Republican convention in 1972, when Cohen's protest against several white candidates in the field for governor, ruled by a vote of a vote of 34 to 21. Cohen's charge was that the whites were not the majority in the district. Emile Kunts, collector of customs, heretofore a member of the same fraction with Cohen, opposed Cohen's charge. Negroes in this state and section are backward in paying poll taxes and registering.

LAW'S PROTEGES WHIP PAUL QUINN AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PANTHERS SHOW BETTER FORM IN WACO CONFLICT Jaco, Texas, Nov. 3, 1927.—Coach "Jimmie" Laws' Prairie View Panthers, led by the constant gains of Captain Marks, defeated the Paul Quinn Tigers by the score of 2-0. The Tigers fought well for the first ten minutes of play but, from that time throughout the game, their right was somewhat weak The Panthers led the Tigers in playing, and in first downs, which were made through an array of line plunges by the "Four Horsemen of Pantherland." These were led by Captain Marks, who was in perfect form and on several occasions seemed billed for the goal line only to be stopped by the Tiger safety men. His line plunges netted eight or more yards in each attempt. "Jap" Turner replaced Lewis for the Panthers and looked like a different person, considering the off day he had against Wiley. He returned the Tiger punts every time the opportunity came. The only score of the game was registered in the third quarter when, on their ten-yard line, the Tiger center made a bad pass to the right halfback, who attempted to run after getting the ball, but was downed behind his goal line by the Panthers. The last quarter was worth naught for both teams, and the game ended 2-0 in favor of the Panthers. A. B. Fedford, jeweler, watchmaker and optician, successor to B. P.

HOME-COMING GAME SAMUEL HUSTON COLLEGE vs. PRAIRIE VIEW COLLEGE PRAIRIE VIEW STADIUM Friday, November 18, 1927 Kickoff at 2:30 P. M. ADMISSION $1.00 Austin, Texas—Fifteen hundred and more fans witnessed the downfall of the mighty Sam Hutton Dragons in the beautiful new Lovinggood stadium here last Friday, as the Wolverines night fight became the 12-4 victory over the Capital City champs of last season. The game was the toughest in Southern Athletic Conference history. The game was the toughest for a win by the home team, and the Dragon offense during the first half amply justified the confidence reposed in the team. The defense fought valiantly for an advantage, at the close of the initial half, the score came close to 10-0. Some looked anything but hopeful for the Marshallites. But in spite of the team's success, seven Wiley rosters, with Spartan-like courage, kept up a battery of yells and cheers for their warriors and beaten. Second half was a test of skill and stamina. Confidence brought over into this period as a result of a 2-point lead gave the Dragons a unyielding strength to itself in the face of the indomitable courage, fighting tradition, and unyielding strength to itself that practical- MAROON TIGERS NO MATCH FOR ANCIENT RIVAL Atlanta, Ga., The Maroon Tiger bore before its ancient victory, the Crismon Hurricane here today in an interesting game, replete with well-defined lines, a thrilling end runs, by a score of 26-0 A.

NOVEMBER 12. 1927 ly every one of the forty-one players making up the Sam Huston roster had been thrown into the fray to offset the gains of Wiley's eleven veterans and four substitutes, the East Texas aggregation stayed in there and continued to pile weight on the wings of the Dragons. Captain Red Briggs, pivot of the invading eleven were going good; and little Jim Evans, the orphan lad, was showing himself a Wildcat worthy the name. Business picked up after the turn of the third quarter when Scott got loose for a sensational dash of fifty yards for the first touchdown, carrying 3 Sam Huston men with him over the goal line. Ordinarily this would have taken the heart out of a team, but the Sam Huston ace, Dewitt Owens, and his teammates showed no visible signs of weakening. Their strength and hope were oozing out so gradually that it was imperceptible except to those against whom these qualities were being pitted. Lyons, perhaps the outstanding Sam Huston player of this game attempted to recoup the lead for his team by getting away for a long run that looked threateningly like a race for the goal, but he was hauled down at a timely moment by Wiley's safety man. Askey flashed at times, but the Wiley boys seemed to have his measure, and refused to let him shine. Yates Lions Plan To Eat Sandcrabs At Inter-City Tilt Yates Lions Plan To Eat Sandcrabs At Inter-City Tilt The Yates Lions, as yet undefended for the present season will tackle the Galveston Sandrabs on Saturday, November 19 on the Barr Athletic Field. This is perhaps the hardest game that the Lions have schedled for this season. They will have the strength and endurance of the machine. Indications are that the Lions will not find it such an easy task to trim the Sandrabs as they have the preceding teams played this season. It will take fight and plenty of it for the Yates gridirons to be the most tightly played game in the league. This coming event of the grid-irons cast the shadow of being the most tightly played game in the league. The Yates warriors are hard at it in preparation for the trying test before the game, and forgetten, and no attempt is being made to ride through this gruelling battle that is in sight for them on the field. It is an acknowledged fact that the Galveston Sandrabs boast a good record. The Lions know it, and have settled down to the job of being ready to stop, November 19, at 3:00 p.m. TEXAS COLLEGE ROUTS BISHOP'S PUNY GRIDSTERS Taylor, Tet - Texas College won from Bishop here Friday by a larger score.

FALLS TO DEATH New Orleans, la.—(ANP) -Earl on the river front, ripped and fell into the water, drowned immediately. The body has not as yet been re Chuffy Alexander and Durant tried vallantly for the cause against the purple and white impregnable line, constructed by those stalwarts, Redd, Briggs, Reed, Kinmon, Calhoun, Livingston and Young, reenforced at intervals by Jones and Faine. Scott, Reynolds, Evans and Miller were true snipers behind this stone wall. The Wiley machine was now functioning at maximum efficiency. Comparing the Wiley-Sam Huston game with the Wiley-Prairie View game, the difference was only in the duration of intensity: Prairie View was intermittent in her attack, while the Capital City boys kept up a continuous bombardment. The fourth quarter saw the lines of battle tighten, two of the Wiley trumps, "Big Ben" Cavil and "Iris" Miller being retired on account of injuries. Lorden and Reynolds returned to the backfield with instructions to carry the fight into the enemy's territory. Only about seven or eight minutes remained, but this was time enough for Reynolds to put himself on the map by reeling off a 35-yard dash for the second touchdown for Wiley. Both tries for point were missed. The four points for Sam Huston were made by advantages gained thru exchanges of punting that worked the ball down into Wiley's territory. FISK BULLDOGS FAILED TO BITE; TUSKEGEE WINS Alumni Bowl, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—After playing the Tuskegee Tigers to a stand-still in the first quarter, the Fisk Bulldogs broke under the heavy strain of the drive and punch of Coach Abbott's men and lost by a score of 32—0. A brilliant array of rooters was present and heard the crack Tuskegee band of sixty pieces playing during the halves. In the first quarter Fisk kicked off to Tuskegee and Stevenson brought the ball back ten yards. Tuskegee made a first down but two penalties for holding and tripping prevented her from keeping possession of the ball. Stevenson kicked and Yost was tackled after signalling for a fair catch. Gee rushed the ball 8 yards and Thornhill ran 15 yards for a first down. An intercepted pass by Wooten which he ran back 30 yards gave Tuskegee the ball again. The Fisk linc held and Stevenson failed a place kick from Fisk's 25 yard line. Successive runs by Gee Thornhill and Yost netted three first-downs for Fisk. Tuskegee line tightened and Fisk's failure to complete a pass from Gee to Thornhill gave the Tigers the ball. Bailey ran the ball ten yards for a first down. Thornhill intercepted a pass from Stevenson and ran thirty-two yards to Tuskegee's 8 yard line. A fumble by Fisk on the next play spoiled the Bulldogs' best chance to score during the entire game. The second quarter was for the most part played on even terms until the fourth quarter, when he gobbled the ball. Fisk held for downs but failed to complete two forward passes. He was able to stop the stuttting for Bailey, made a first down, downsman made a second yard, and Stuttgart ball it on Fisk's 7 yard line. Wootch put the ball on aaron Fisk's line. Stuttgart raked it out. The score at the end of the first half: Tuskegge 6—Fisk 0. In the second half the Tigers drove through the weakening Fisk line with plunges and sweeping end runs by the Steelers. The Fisks five yard line. Stevenon carried the ball over but failed to kick.

BISHOP ELEVEN FINALLY WINS FOOTBALL GAME Shreveport, La.—The Bishop machine was too much for the Southern University team here Monday, Oct. 31, at the Louisiana State Fair. The Beara started their attack early in the game, but the Bison and Bolden ripped the Southern line for long, carrying the ball to Southern's ten yard line, and J Wilson smashes through for first touchdown.

But failures are unwelcomed and hurtful whenever and where they occur. The Negro business people themselves and with respect to time and circumstance have not been sufficient for the establishment of confidence among the people of Negro business, some of far-reaching extent and effect. They are an important group of businessmen. Let Negro business men get together, not only to consider the needs of their customers, but to stand each other, and much of the handicap and hazard to Negro business men. The other group of business people in America have local, state and national unity, mutual respect, mutual ability, mutual trust, mutual success, whose business should emerge victorious over all the besting sins of commission or omission in Negro business.

But when necessary there no harm in taking nullo, since it works mechanically. It is important that any form of organ of the body. Particularly with girl, there are times when it is not necessary. Take a soothing every night for a few days. It is a thoroughy safe and harmless. It won't cause dizziness or headaches." Nulol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so mild. Dr. Sutton E. Grigs, one of America's noted writers and speakers, spoke to a fair sized audience on last Sunday, at the City Auditorium, under the auspices of the Ministers' Interdenominational Alliance, in attempt to stimulate interest among the Negroes of Houston in the Negro Hostel, which was donated to the people of this community two years ago. Dr. Griggs, who is an acknowledged teacher, made some pertinent observations. He mentions some very stubborn facts in trying to load the Houston colors on the screen and to hasten to perform this duty. Sunday morning Dr. Griggs praises the students, saying Ms. Ss. to a large and very appreciative audience on the subject "Why Christian students should learn?" FLORENCE MILLS DEMOCRACY AND THE STAGE By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) The last time I saw Florence Mills she was in a theatre in London, playing a beautiful role in her "Blackbirds." A woman of ordinary looks in ordinary life, her grace and art and plain make-up made her a handsome brown bird on the stage. "Isn't she cute," said an English woman sitting near. The papers published by white people now refer to her as a "Harlem dancer". I don't know whether they are thus alluding to Claude McKay's poem, or whether it is just the white "slant" of always thinking of colored entertainers—artists in terms of dancing. Perhaps some are confusing her with Josephine Baker, also of world fame, but of a slightly less enviable quality. But Florence was, above all else, a song artist, a song bird—the best interpreter of the "blues" I have ever heard sing. The affective regard with which her fellow artists of all recols and colorists have been treated untimely death is but another illustration of our contention: That the world of artists is much more democratic than the world of artists in brown and churchgoers. Of course there can be no such difference in a world with the American color-pachyssis that allows a proach to democracy on the stage in the drawing-rooms of the "social set". This truth has been made very clear by the fact that Negro musical and historic art剧 in recent years, and will become more and more a customary and ordinary subject. SOMETHING WORSE THAN ARKANSAS By William Pickens So far as colored Americans are concerned, there can be just one thing that would be Arkansas with a record of federal judge in it. That is now threatening to happen in Arkansas. Judge Jacob Trierbe, of the Eastern District of Arkansas, is said by Scipio A. Jones, a Negro who knows, to have been a fair, intelligent, and courageous many times saved colored Americans from dire oppression and But for some reason the good Lord will let that kind die. And now the court that state are threatened with a call to trial point of墙壁 Townsend, of Little Rock, as Judge Trierbe's successor Negro-hater and Negro-baker of the worst type; a "hily-wavy" monstrosity in the police force of Little Rock to boat or bully colored voters away from the polls. A Republican president in Arkansas an than in Townsend, or at least one in Arkansas, is protesting against any such appointment. Livingstone, Ala. —(ANP) —Jack Gordon, a forest ranger and game warden, was found tied to a tree in a wooded area where hunters here Friday. When Gordon returned to the woods set up by three **unknown Negroes** tied to a tree and laughed till he lost consciousness. While officers were searching for the Negroes, another report is being circulated that Gordon was flugged by two men, said that his assassants were Negroes.

Detroit Police (Continued from Page One) both for major crimes and misdemeanors, only 1,410 were committed by Negroes. Of these 385 were major crimes. One hundred and seventeen Negroes were killed in the city in 1826; 84 of this number were killed by other Negroes, while only 23 were killed by police officers, said the commissioner who also volunteered the information that the police also killed 21 whites. Information secured from all the principle cities in regards to the Negro was read and compared with that offered by the commissioner here. This was done by Mr. Grigsby, who has also stated a bureau of helpfulness in which he has helped with the assistance of the Sunday school to locate relatives here for people in all parts of the South, secured birth certificates for families from the South that their children might enter school here.

P. B. FYTZWATER, D.D. Dana Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (822) 1037, Western Newpaper Union.) Lesson for November 13 HOBEA PREACHES GOD'S LOVE LESSEN TEXT—Hosea 11:3-4, 9; 14:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT—I desire mercy and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than hurst offerings. PRIMARY TOPIC—God's Wonderful Love JUNIOR TOPIC-God's Wonderful INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-The Unchanging Love of God THE UNCHANGING LOVE OF GOD The Loving-Kindness of God. Hosea's message was primarily to arrest. The nation was outwardly prosperous, for its height of temporal power. The nation was outwardly blessed to be illumined by II (See II Kings 14-20). With this property came luxury, immortality and apostasy. Calf worship and submission was substituted for the worship of 1. The Apostasy of aray (chin 13: 3). 1. The covenant relationship between Jesus and Israel. Figure of a marriage. Their spiritual whorehood is symbolized by the example of an unfaithful wife. 1. (11, 2). Hosea was commanded by God to take an unchaste woman to be his wife. While this was a strange and unnatural act, it was also by God, and its motive was the elevation of the woman to the prophetess. Hosea was a wonderful condescension and love in entering into covenant relations with God's wonderful condescension, and love in entering into covenant relations with God. The nation had no more to commend it when God chose it than this unchaste woman when Hosea commanded her. 2. The unfaithful wife (ch. 2). Notwithstanding the wonderful concession on the part of the prophet in contracting marriage with this woman, he departs from him to consort with her former base lovers. This shows Israel's base ingratiation in their departure from God to go after her husband, upon her for her unfailfulness. 3. Illustration of God, the unfaithful life (cf. Ch. 11). 4. Illustration of God's undying love for Israel. The motive governing the prophet's act was love. God's love for Israel is just an real. His grace will not take back that nation to Himself. 5. *H. God's love for Israel* (Hosea 11:1-4, 19). 6. *Innerving* (v. 1). it began when Israel as a nation was in its childhood. God loved the nation even while in the outset of Egypt (v. 1). God called Israel out of the bondage of Egypt and brought them into Canaan, the land of freedom—thowing with milk and honey. Such love and favor placed Israel under peculiar objections. "Tight Ephraim to go" (v. 3). In spite of kara's backslashing (v. 4), Israel howked to walk, even as a father taking up his child in his army. God howked to walk, even as a father over their children by night. "I drew with cords of a man (v. 4). Observe that His drawing was with a stout rope as used with an unruly heifer (v. 10)11), but a cord of rope as used with an unruly love in Christ should constrain us to obey and serve Him. "I took of the yoke from the Jews in Christ (v. 4). The figure is of a husband living the stake from the ex so that they could set. The digneness to give them up (v. 8, 9) In spite of all Israel's sin, God was unwilling to destroy them. II. God Plaids for Respentance III. God Plaids for Respentance Notwithstanding their awful sin, God urged Israel to turn unto Him. IV. God urged Israel to turn unto Him. I. He made promise unto them. 1. "I will heal their backsliding" (v. 4). 2. This on the condition of frank and full confession. 1. "I will love them freely" (v. 4). 2. This is character of God. Only God will be as the dew to Israel. 3. "I will be as the dew to Israel" (v. 5). 4. I will refresh the nation as dew does the parched grass. 4. Growth promised (v. 5). 5. Beauty assured (v. 6). 6.

MALORE St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—When the St. Louis Community Chest drives closed here last Saturday night, the $1,850,000 which had been its objective, was in sight. $1,755,000 had been subscribed, and enough additional pledges were in prospect to carry the effort well beyond its goal. The Negro citizenry played its part well. Organized into teams, men and women prominent in the colored life of the city, combed their district and found a ready response despite the terrific blow which the recent tornado had levelled at it. Hearts of the group gathered to receive final reports were gladdened when Mrs. Annie M. Malone of Poro College, at present in the East, telegraphed the Poro College team, which under the captaincy of Frederick D. Gardner, Jr., had scored 100 per cent by securing a donation from everyone of the employees as well as $100 from the Poro welfare organization, that her personal gift was $1,000. The Negro contingent in the drive was led by Prof. Frank L. Williams of Sumner High School. Colored institutions have always shared liberally in the funds from the Community Chest, usually receiving from four to five times what their group contributed. Memphis, Jenn — (ANP) — Walter Thurman, national champion tire manufacturer, was here Tuesday night from injuries sustained when his automobile, speeding down the home stretch in the tireless crash, Fair, tangleed with another entrant's car. Thurman was out to set a new record, and was on the road to accommodate the front wheel of a car driven by Younger Wiley was caught by the rear wheel of Thurman's car, turning it over. Thurman's body was badly mangled in the crash and he was rushed to the hospital. Unconsciousness.

The fair, which was founded by Anderson Jenkins, proprietor of the Palm Leaf Hotel of this city, drew an audience of about 10,000, which indicated the scope of the activities of Negroes of the state and the city, and added to the display of Alabamana products there were many amusing stories.

Our history is bad and we are willing to make concessions. Anyhow, the gent we have in mind is the one we saw. He saw that was the section of the country where the biggest fortunes were to be made, where the young man with money, brains and years to invest would draw down the heaviest dividends.

We admit it’s pretty tight down there but we could say with equal emphasis, it’s no bed of fire. We have easy places of the world are for the enjoyment of wealth, not for its ac We offer this advice on the assumption that, although most of the accredited Negro leaders appear to be imbeciles, the rank and file are endowed with average human intelligence; and on the further assumption that when sensible young people find themselves in a place where wealth is increasing fast they will know how to take advantage of the fact. The South is the place where wealth is increasing faster than in any other part of the world. It is a good thing to be around where money is growing fast. Some of it might grow in your pocket. The South is richer today than it ever has been before. It is growing richer with increasing momentum. For a considerable time the movement of American industry has been toward the South. When the average New England textile firm decides to add a modern unit to its plant it usually builds the new unit somewhere south of the Mason and Dixon line. When a plant is to be scrapped it is usually one in the North. The meaning of this shift is so obvious that even Kelly Miller or Marcus Garvey ought to be able to see it. An increase of factories means an increase of population. Factory workers have to eat and they require a place to live. When a new factory is opened in a community the farmer with some vegetables to sell and the real estate man with some shacks to rent usually manage to get a little something out of it for themselves. An equally important, though at present less conspicuous, movement which will eventually further enrich the South, is the trend of world poli- Over the Brow year, that is at all druggers PRICE 50c High-Brow Hair Phones: Office Pres. 2476 Res.

THOMAS EFFORTS AT CAPITAL CITY EFFECT RESULTS Washington, D. C.—(AN P)—Because of his courageous battles against all forms of segregation and his continuous fight for the full rights of citizenship for his people, Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and a member of the national board of directors, has won the wholehearted praise of citizens, not only of the Capital City but the District of Columbia. This fact was set forth and borne out recently when at a mammoth meeting of the association at which a report of Mr. Thomas' activities was read, a resolution was adopted recommending that he be re-elected to the national board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. The report told how Mr. Thomas had thrown 'everything aside and many times 'jeopardizing his own job,' waging battles for the rights of the race and how he had faced presidents, cabinet members, courts, senate, house, the white press, big business commissioners of the district and the board of education in behalf of his race. The most recent battle on Mr. Thomas's late is the wiping out of segregation in government departments. Leading a committee of loyal citizens, Mr. Thomas visited the various departments, gained first-hand information, and set his case before the investigating committee. Charge Catholic Priest Advocates Race Segregation Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Negro Catholics charged Father J.

We do not desire you here, but for you to go to your own church." So angry were a number of the NEGro communicants that it reopened the church medially. In explaining his version of the affair, Father Dacey declared: "I have used no term that would apply to the congregation. It was made immediately following an appeal to the members of the congregation for hearted support. Members of St. Augustine and Holy Redeemer parishes are not members of St. Paul's. We have no right to ask their support." LIGHTNING SHOE REPAIR SHOP FRED T. LEE, Proprietor 411 MILAM ST. PRES. 5373 MILAM ST.

C.—In connection with the merger of the Fraternal Savings and the Solvent Savings banks of Memphis, Tennessee, a very interesting incident is the whole-sourced cooperation of Negro business enterprises in connection with this financial merger, which was brought about, it is stated, "to assure unity and strength." The combined assets of the two banks now amount to a total of $1,500,000. The merger of these two banking institutions gives Memphis the largest, strongest and most substantial Negro bank in the entire South, with a board of directors of true and tried business men, guaranteeing not only sound management, but ample facilities and substantial resources. When the time for the merger came, the National Benefit Life Inc. of Company located here in Washington, D.C., brought in the president, president-treasurer, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary-general manager, was an assistant manifold and profer support. In addition to National Benefit's cooperation with the merger of these two companies, we practically all of the Negro banks where it has branch offices, including Washington, the home office in Washington, from E. Washington Rhodes, editor of the Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune, to the officers of the American Finance Company, he stated: "We think it a mighty fine thing for you to deposit with the Citizens and Southern Citizens.

The number of cars in month of President I. W. Baldwin amounted to 107,106 cars compared with 96,446 in September, and receipts from connections numbered 10,347 cars compared with 96,446 in September. This is a total of 157,369 in October against a total of 157,369 in September. The Subsidiaries of the Missouri Pacific Railroad also, Mr. Baldwin, the Gulf Coast Lines report the best October business in the history of the company, propelling it to 19,945 cars in September, which 9,826 cars located locally. This compared with 18,698 cars in October, which 18,698 cars located locally. This total of 18,930 cars handled by that railroad in September. The Great Northern reported a total of 27,434 cars handled in October as compared with 25,448 cars handled in September. This year, the October total was made up of 13,487 cars from the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad reported a total of 2,490 cars handled by that railroad annually. This compared with a total of 2,490 cars handled by that railroad year, and 2,527 in September this year. Operating efficiency is at the high-level statements, calling attention to a number of 43.81 miles per car per day for 1927 and 1928, and performance in the history of the Missouri Pacific and a performance of better than 8 per car on time for 1927 and 1928. Engineer trains operated during October. The showing is regarded as a splendid statement that the fourth quarter of 1927 would show an improvement in efficiency.

She was accused of Miss Morse conspired to murder the latter's father, paying alleged gunmen and thugs $250 to commit the murder. The gunmen proved to be detectives who promptly placed the women under Todd's control. Miss Todd was held in conjunction with Miss Morse and the trial judge, running in instructions to the jury to prove that she had been guilty of the charge or both freed.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1927 OUR NEGRO GRAND JURY "BLOC!" It is quite a reflection on Houston's and Harris County's large, taxpayer, property-owning, intelligent, loyal, patricia and lawabiding Negro citizenry that only four or five black men can be found in all this big city and bigger county who have the qualifications (?) to serve as occasional members of Harris County grand juries! Really, it seems passingly strange and peculiarly odd that the grand jury "wheel" of Harris County contains the names of the same Negroes every time an inquisitorial body is impaneled. Instead of turning that wheel, as the law requires, it appears that the Negroes are responsible for the Negro race, not only is not turned, but is barely moved! The editor of The Informer has been residing in Houston for 16 years, and he has observed that the Negroes who are counted on to put over big programs, and who play an important part in all civic, fraternal, commercial and religious undertakings, are never counted or considered worthy to serve on the Harris County grand jury, or to grace any boards or directors where the appointed Negroes are involved in the work of the Negro. It would be interesting, (and amusing, too, we fear) if some of our supposed "leading Negroes," who are always honored by "de wite fokes" when the latter have some honors to bestow upon deserving" blacks who know their place and stay in it, would be able to serve as directors of the group here, especially one where intelligence, brains, initiative, resourcefulness and moral courage are required. For several years the board of directors of Emancipation Park has been without its fifth member, all because the appointing powers, apparently, do not have another colored mankind availably. Isn't it funny that none of these colored grand jurors and few board members ever participate or contribute any time, energy or brains in the annual Community Chest drive, Y. M. C. A. membership campaign and other citywide efforts and programs? It does appear to The Informer, and all right thinking persons of color, that the men who continue to enjoy such emoluments, honors and preferences, should be willing to contribute something in time and energy to their race and city where they get no financial remuneration nor enjoy empty honors for so doing. If the criminal district judge and grand jury commissioners are not aware that there are other Negroes in Houston capable of and who are the same as the black, they may not have any right to have the names of the "favored few" brethren of color appear on this peculiar graffid jury wheel (which appears to have lost its faculty of rotating when it comes to the names of prospective Negro jurors); and if the names of other colored freeholders are not shown on the tax rolls of the county, then let them (the judge and commissioners) peruse the columns of the Negro papers published in Houston, and ascertain some additional Negroes of grand jury calibre. Since the county seems to be passing around honors in placing a coterie of blacks on the grand jury, why not assume a more liberal attitude and pass the honor around to others of the "brethren" in Houston and Harris County? No man should be selected to serve on the grand jury merely because he is not a black, or because he has lived in a long-time. None of these qualifications count for aught, as such, unless he can render some special or particular service to the grand jury. Houston seems long on this "old timer" story, seemingly unmindful of the fact that Methusela lived to reach 969 years, but the Holy Writ simply says that he lived and died, and not one word is written or handed down about what this Biblical "old word" is to the betterment and advancement of his race and humanity. This paper has no fight to wage on any of the colored citizens, per se, who have served on the grand jury of this county, but this paper, speaking for thousands of Negroes who cannot or are afraid to speak for themselves, is anxious to know why this unusual honor is confined to this group of the "favored few", and why every quarter, year after year, the supposed turn of the "grand jury" is to be taken away from the court. Anyway you take it, here is much food for thought; for we would be loath to believe that Harris County grand jury commissioners and our criminal district judge, who have to do with the selection of the grand jury of this county, would knowingly build up and maintain anything which had the remotest semblance of a "Negro grand jury ring" and yet to state that these white men were not guilty of any crime, the only ones in the city and county with sufficient senate and ability to serve on this investigating body, is an unwarranted objection and bold presumption upon the intelligence of our white The Houston Informer TEXAS JURIST SEEKS MOODY'S OFFICE All right, Judge Hawkins, we shall take keen interest in your gubernatorial campaign against Governor Dan Moody, and shall be interested in your platform and the main issue in your drive for the highest office within the gift of the Texas electorate, Judge Hawkins, our gubernatorial candidate, former assistant justice of the supreme court of Texas, erstwhile insurance and banking commissioner of this state and former first assistant attorney general of the Lone Star State, announced that he will be in the field as a candidate against Governor Moody. We remember that Judge Hawkins interested himself in the Millikin case (Millikin was a white man found guilty of robbery and murder of a white woman in Bexar County and sentenced to the electric chair at the state penitentiary at Huntsville), and secured several reprieves from the present governor, as he (the judge) raced over Texas and sought the aid of federal judges in a vain and futile attempt to save his client from electrification. We remember that Judge Hawkins declared a formal statement declaring his hat in the ring for the gubernatorial post, and political prophets are already hazarding guesses that the eminent jurist will predicate his campaign largely on the electrocution of Millikin. If the judge raises such an issue in his campaign he will receive quite a bit of popular support; for there are very few white people who are not eminent jurists, for a white man, it matters not what his offense against society is. If some of the members of the Texas legislature, which abolished hanging for electrocution, had had the remotest idea that white men would be ushered into eternity by this terrible monster of death (which remains in running order by electrocution by the state legislature) and if the state continues to insist on electrocution white criminals, it would not surprise us to see the Texas legislature authorize the installation of another electric chair at Huntsville, so that the white criminals will not be disgraced by dying to die in a chair which has claimed the lives of many black men. We do not know whether the jurist will make an issue of electrocution white men, or whether he will oppose capital punishment and propose a more civilized way to punish and reform criminals. We do not know whether the editorial in a Southern daily newspaper, some weeks ago, which contended that hanging and electrocution could not be easily abolished in the South; for it was the only way to punish Negroes who attack white women; and that where such criminal attacks occurred, it was imperative to mete out capital punishment to the white men. We do not know whether the judge Judge Lynch's loop resorting to anarchy, arson and every other form and manifestation of lawlessness and disorder. The same week we read that editorial we also read a news item in the daily papers of Texas telling of a series of criminal attacks by white men, and that attacks taking place while the wife was out of the city. Was this beast electrocuted? No, he was merely given a "life sentence!" Only this week a Houston white man, 38 years of age, was arrested upon complaint of a 12-year old white girl, who charged the electric chair, found guilty. A few days ago a driver of a milk truck picked up a white girl who claimed that a group of young white men has virtually been outraged by the police, who have criminally outraged her, left her to her sad and bitter fate. If any arrests have been made in connection with this revolting crime, have we mentioned it? Our own standard of citizenry is the South—one for white citizens and one for colored people—makes mockery of justice, defames our supposed temples of justice, profanes our religious houses of worship, prostitutes Americanism and criminally outraged them. WONDER IF IT'S DUE TO THE WEATHER? Apparently, the approach of our wonderful "Indian summer" days and weather, with summer heat, flowers and nights (for lovers) too exquisite for description and too wonderful for expression, have had a bad effect on several of our racial brothers in Heads in Haiti and thus they have been on a rampage during the last week or two. What with almost daily murders, slashings, shootings and fights, some of our local colored "brethren and sisteren" seem literally "bell-hent", and they seem to be determined to carry as much company with them as possible. The Southern Negro wants to break into the penitentiary for "keeps", let him steal some article, especially from some white but if this same criminally minned black will shift his intention to the prison, he will be considered too cheap a commodity in so many of our Southern communities; and very few Negroes are over assessed severe penalties for murdering members of their own race. If the Southern Negro wants to break into the penitentiary for "keeps", let him steal some article, especially from some white but if this same criminally minned black will shift his intention to the prison, he will be considered too cheap a commodity in so many of our Southern communities; and very few Negroes are over assessed severe penalties for murdering members of their own race. If the courts would deal harshly and severely, when the evidence warrant such course, with these black criminals, others would not be so quick on the trigger or so adept with the discipline. In the South is rarely determined by the facts in the case, but in a large measure by the "pull" or racial identity of the prisoner before the bar. It really amuses us to hear some Southern exclaim that the courts of the South mete out justice to whites and blacks. This is hardly a half-truth, the most dangerous and deceptive source. As long as the Negro race is regarded and treated as an inferior race on public carriers and in public places; as long as he is restricted to certain residential sections hardly fit for the habitats of hogs; as long as he is the victim of political proscription and the like; as long as he is the victim of the like; as long as he is the Negro of his constitutional and God-given data; as long as the markers and signs essay to establish the metes and bounds of the colored brother; as long as the race is subjected to other types of injustices and inequalities; as long as the Negro race is the chief prey and unfortunate victim of the howling and hungry lynchocrats of the country; as long as white parents teach their children that the Negro is a "thing to be despised and mistreated, and that the black people are not the only black people, and that they are not good and decent as white children—as long as we have such gross inconsistencies, and prejudicial fears, racial hatreds and a dual standard of citizenship, no black man is assured that he will get a fair and impartial trial in a Southern court, where his future destiny is in the hands of his white oppressors. Until the Negro in the South comes in possession of the ballot and the blacker, the American citizens, he will never get the fair and square deal in the courts of this section which the constitution and bill of rights vouchsafes to him and every other American citizen. But these bellicose and belligerent Negroes, who just must kill some member of their race; who roam the streets armed, hunting and prepared for trouble; whose crimes and escapades are seriously injuring the black people—these criminals are liabilities both to the people and the social order. If the recent weather has had any peculiar influence upon certain members of the race in Houston, and caused them to slash and kill each other as they have done here lately, here's hoping that the weather will change instanter; for undoubtedly the Indian summer weather has aroused the "injun" blood in several of our local African brothers and sisters, and they are literally and fig Cimbee's Ramblings A Deer Gus; Sence I rit yu dat las lil pissul, which yu got las weak.

Dr Locke takes the position of the Roman patrician, that it is a winerior position, and argues among plebeians than to risk antagonisms which the emergence of such genius is calculated to excite. Dr. Locke, however, does not follow the logic of his position to its inevitability, and argues that the influence which he advocates would not tend to enrich the cultural life of the white race, while leaving the Neo-gripped of the fruits of his own education left be culturally poor indeed. be defeated as a matter of expediency and political prudence, but not as an expression of the national will and purpose. 3. Cross marriages are becoming fewer and fewer with the passing years; and the negligible number which takes place is infundous almost to the point of sterility. This is due to the social stigma to which the white parent dreads to subject her issue. Thus the legitimate channel to amalgamation is effectively barred. 4. Illegitimate issue between the races is fast becoming a thing of the past. The growing sense of self-respect of the Negro race visits all such issues with the severest social stigma. This tendency increases with growth in intelligence, substance, racial pride and self-respect. The widespread knowledge of birth control will effectively estop bastard progeny, even though illicit relations continue. 5. The inter-mixture had already taken place at a time before the white race became socially conscious of the magnitude and menace of the fruits of their lustful folly. Upon the arousal of a keen racial consciousness, effective legal and non-legal means have been inaugurated to check or prevent its continuance. The social policy and purpose aim to hold the cosmic urge in restraint or at least to abort the normal and natural out-come. Had the institution of slavery continued another two centuries, with no fresh importation, and without popular agitation against amalgamation, the Negro blood in the United States would have been diluted to the point of invisibility. Mr. Stoddard does not argue; he advocates by assertion and asseration of dominant dogma. He averts that the white race does not choose the black race, and will not be forced beyond his own choosing. He believes that Dr. Locke the imputed spokesman for the Negro intelligentism, is self-delided with the vith hope that an aridification of the Negro mind and way. On this point D. Locke is fairly said that he represents the form for whom he engages to speak. Leaving the learned disputants to the relative merits of their contention, he argues that haters, let us consider the question independently of either contention 6. The Ngois is wholly powhery to affect the situation, except nega- mately to the extent that they cates amalgamation, the more certain- ly he defends it, and the more certain could pardon would be by urging Ngo息 to give up their Ngoes themselves unreservedly to the half-indentity of white men. This were an ignorm by beyond the pale of contem- porary. Is it likely that white Americas will absorb the Negro within any calculated period of time? It is not vouchsafed us to know what the remote or unreverable future would be concerned chiefly with the present posture of things as they have been shaped by the past and as they trend towards the immediate future. The ultimate physical, and social unity of the great race, of which the future is not, is not the practical conduct of mankind is not motivated by far off, divine events, but by results which we can readily visualize in our day and generation. Sufficient unto each generation in the wisest of us, and the most unjust, the most unfit, the most unjureous of us, to be adjusted programs to the early, and not to the ultimate future. The doctrine of the resurrection had dynamic influence upon the conduct of the early Christians, because Paul and the other be-sieved, was not the same as to the consumated in their day. But the doctrine of the judgment day has negligible effect upon the life and conduct of present day Christians because the great consumption is too much for the present day to make affects human conduct very feeble, if at all. The astronomers tell us that the heat of the sun will ultimately be exhausted and that this luminescence will forbear to shine, but the whole world is still in living in bliss indifferent to the coming darkness. Who will economize a single lump of coal this winter because the geologists have proven that the coal supply will finally be exhausted and that the great calamity will be the early exhaustion of the oils supply? If mankind had the definite fore-knowledge that in a thousand years from now that all distinctions among the children of men would be the great calamity, the great calamity, the great man race would be gathered around the great White Throne with crowns upon their foreheads and harps within their hands, this blissful assurance would hardly affect the conduct of a single individual, now living in the present day, and twenty-seven, 7. The amount of white blood already transfused into Negro veins has increased by a million million unadulterated white persons. This white blood is widely distributed in the composite progeny, apparent in the offspring, and in the white to the inky black. But the physical margin between the races is increased in the males, frequently cross the racial divide, carrying only concealed blood. This process is clearly illustrated in the redivivus of the "An Ex-colored" of the chromatic scale, metochrome. The residue of the near whites, mainly females will marry backwards on the chromatic scale, metochrome. The darker male mates with the lighter female. Dunbar speaks of the race of the swain. This tendency is obivous to all who have eyes to see. The obvious result will be a more even distribution of the race to something like a medium ethnic identity. It will not take much sumation. I have confirmed this judgment by observation of tens of thousands of Negroes in schools, I am not here indulging in the probability of finality or the necessity of merely describing processes now in full operational form. I am merely describing the nature of the Negro in the United States is involved in the above post-propagated situation in dealing with the complicated situation which will result from the existence of these two groups, white and colored, of the axioms of personal, political, economic equality constitutes the crux of the problem. Will the reader please remember that we are not essaying to deal in ultimate matters, that in two thousand years France will chase does not frustrate things, the ordinary deniances of this nation will not frustrate the harmony. Before the Negro will become one with the great white body and social amalgamation, come one with himself. When this ultimate physical and social amalgamation will come one with himself, will it come no less noticeably and undoubtedly but like the Kingdom of heaven, it will not come with observer. Granting that there is to be ultimate amalgamation, the communication of the mission should be the day programs and policies. The influences and forces now at work in the mission are the mission direction. Nor can we predict any change that will materially alter the mission still be in mixtures. Let us make a sociological analysis of the mission and factors, just as we would in any other domain of science, divested wholly of pre- MEHARRYITES TO HONOR HUBBARD 1. The Negro in the United States is involved by race which is in tension with the background. This intertentate breed of men have been coming in contact with the Latino race for years. They do not eliminate by addition as the Latin race does, but they do not eliminate by race. Chiengo, Ill.—(ANP)—Dr. S. W. Smith, correspondent of the secretary of the Alumni Association, announced Friday that he has been designated as Hubbard Memorial Day, and would be observed by chary clubs throughout the country. 2. Twenty-nine states of the union have enlisted anti-misinformation laws to prevent the latent sentiment canyled provoked in the election. A considerable Negro or Mongolian contingent has such legal inter-racial relations that about equally divided between the two groups is a bill in Congress looking toward a national anti-misinformation law. I The observance this year, according to Dr. Smith, will be more wideened than that of any previous observance. The city is held in most of the principal cities memororializing the life and accomplishments of the late Dr. George W. Hobbs.
