RAMSEY'S PASSING In the recent death of Dr. E. B. Ramsey, Honoree of the D. E. B. Ramsey, Honoree of the D. E. B. Ramsey, the loss has one of its most ardent and creditable members, the race has lost one of its leadership, the race has lost one of its most representative citizens. In days when the Southern thought, both white and black, held tenacity to the deep-seated, though not necessarily to the deep-seated, though could master the science of medicine and surgery, Dr. Ramsey completed the Medical College, the Military Medical College, Navalville, and began a medical practice that only brought relief to suffering members of the military. He decided to study intensive and inspiration to younger men of the race, who decided to study a particular profession. He served in all that the term denotes and signifies, forming a valuable link between two or three generations, and demonstrating the power of practical practitioners in the medical realm. He was kind-hearted almost to a degree, and demonstrated otherwise, did this late physician suffer because he sought to lend aid to his patients when he tended to various kinds.

"Negrophobist" Ousted From Mayoralty Office Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—The election of Watkins Overton as mayor of this city last Thursday, brought to a close one of the most bitter political campaigns ever staged in this section, and forced out of office J. Howlett Paine, whose tactics during the campaign stamped him as a typical Southern Democrat. The race issue was injected into the campaign in the early stages and charges were hurled that Overton was courting the Negro vote and herd, and charges were hurled that Overton was apprehending Nigro firemen, policemen, and to permit general admission to the political arena. Nigro denied that this was true, but stated that "if I am elected I shall be the mayor of all the people and not for select few." Overton was courting the Negro vote and charges were responsible for Paine's election and that he made certain definite promises at that time which were never fulfilled. Overton charged Paine with double-cropping the Negro vote and pointed out that "Paine's treacherous breach of the Constitution" was the reason.

S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., for injecting the issue of sectionalism into the sessions of the supreme lodge of the order at Chicago, during August, 1927. The letters and resolutions also lauded the supreme chancellor for his open letter to the editor of The Houston Informer, who has been labeled as a "fraternal heretic" because said Houston editor exposed the anti-South and anti-Texas attitude of the supreme chancellor, as it related to the 1929 convention city for the body supreme. Herewith we are reproducing some correspondence which speaks for itself in clarion tones, and which substantiates both the reporterial and editorial contentions of the Houston Informer. The author of the letters to The Informer and the supreme chancellor is not only grand chancellor of the Pythian jurisdiction of Ohio, but he is also special counsel out of the attorney general's office of the Buckeye State, with headquarters at the state capitol, Columbus, Ohio. I thank you for copies of the Houston Informer of August 27 and October 8, respectively. I have read the same with much interest and I do not see anything in the editorial of The Informer of Aug. 27, 1927, which misrepresents anything which was stated by the supreme chancellor, who was opposed to the supreme lodge going to Dallas, Texas, in 1929, in his address to the supreme lodge in the convention held in Chicago, during the month of August, 1927. It seems to me that the editorial in your paper was at least fair in substituting the "superme chancellor" with the "superme lodge" took that convention, and I am a little surprised that the supreme chancellor would undertake to claim that his attitude was unfairly stated by you. Recipient is hereby acknowledged of a printed copy of your open letter to the editor of The Houston Informer and for which I wish to thank you most kindly. I have delayed acknowledging receipt of the same until I had received a copy of The Houston Informer so that I might满载 the full column and editorial therein and to which your open letter was specifically addressed. I have written for a copy of the The Informer of August 27, 1927, which reached me last week and have carefully read the same. The Informer's editorial, in my opinion, states substantially the same position taken by you in the last biennial" session of the supreme lodge, in your opposition to the supreme lodge meeting in Dallas, Texas in 1929. "Of the country in which the supreme lodge should hold its meetings, the "issue" and defended your position ably and with force, so much that you won your case. I think it was unfortunate that you should have employed the "sectional" argument to aid your cause or to accomplish your purpose, because I fear that it will tend to, and will in fact sectionalize our fraternal order and I think that we should discourage this thought or attitude. I agree that the supreme lodge, segregation and kindred evils in the South are conditions over which our group in that section have no control and they should not be punished by the supreme lodge on that account. If the supreme lodge under your leadership, should have proposed a method of rebuking or punishing the white element in the South on the account of "jim-crow" ears, segregation and kindred evils, without including in the punishment the colored people in that section, I do not think that the supreme lodge should invite so much resentment from the Southern supreme representatives. Your argument against the supreme lodge holding its convention in the South was purely a sectional one, as a general rule, such arguments are directed towards the passions, emotions and rather than to intellect, and many times do more harm than good to the community. And I will only fully THE SAME POSITION TAKEN BY YOU IN THE SUPREME Lodge CONVENTION TO CHRISTMAS CARDS ERHAPS you haven't even thought of your Christmas cards yet, but you are going to order some between now and Christmas, so why not have it over with?

The chief reason, as I understand it, which prompted the Texas delegation to send me, is that we are a representative body of our group meeting in that state and city, might be helpful to our group in the South. It must be admitted that there is much merit in the claim made by Texas. You have defended your position with much force in your open letter to the governor of Texas, and you have supported our national body, because it can subserve the no good. I thank you again for your kindness in sending me a copy of your printed open letter. Am in receipt of your of the 21st instant, with copy of letter of same date to the editor of The Houston Informer, Houston, Texas, and I am surprised that you wrote that you did not see anything in the editorial of The Informer of August 27, 1927, which misrepresented anything which was stated by me about the supreme lodge going to Dallas, Texas, in 1929. I am not sure what you wrote. I am sure you heard my address, because you were close enough to me at the time I made the address, to hear what I said. You did not hear me say, "that the white South would insult every Negro woman who might attend the supreme session at Dallas." You also did not hear me say, "The supreme lodge would insult every Negro woman who heart." I not only did not use those words, but did not use any words that would convey that kind of a sentiment. With you as to who raised the sectional issue, as every speaker before me referred to the failure of the supreme lodge to hold a meeting in the South for a long number of years. Since you assume the attitude of lecturing me in your Jetter, I shall assume the attitude of lecturing you, for your vote to carry the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas, in 1929. You know you did not represent the sentiment of the grand court officers and the members of the Order of Calathea of the grand jurisdiction of Ohio, when you voted to carry the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas, in 1929. You know you did not represent the sentiment of the uniform rank department of the grand jurisdiction of Ohio, when you voted to carry the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas, in 1929.

Dear Sir and Brother: Your letter of October 29, 1927, is hereby acknowledged. It is noted among other things that you wrote in part as follows: "You know you did not represent the Pythina of the grand jurisdiction of Ohio "" when you voted to carry the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas in 1929. In answer to the foregoing statement" I wish to go to Dallas, Texas, in 1929, used their best judgment after considering the merits of the invitations of the two cities seeking the supreme lodge convention for the year of 1929; and that in exercising their independent judgment, they intelligently and faintly represent the grand jurisdiction of Ohio, your statement in your letter of October 29, 1927, to the contrary, networked. The grand jurisdiction of Ohio, in all supreme lodge actions, acts and speaks officially by and through its duly elected supreme representatives only—and nobody else in Ohio, or outside of Ohio as individuals or otherwise, can speak for Ohio. The wisdom of the judgment of the decision of the Ohio delegates to go to Dallas could only have been determined by the reception, hospitality and treatment which would have been determined by the convention assembled there in 1929. A decision on this point, however, is impossible. I regret that there was anything in my letter of October 21st which caused you to construe the same as a "lecture" to you. I wish, however, to disclaim any intention on my part to lecture you in the letter of that date. You were kind enough to send me a copy of your open printed letter to The Houston Informer and after reading it I acknowledged receipt of the letter. I was not doing anything but at the same time with due respect and courtesy. The comment, however, as I have said before, you construed to be a lecture. The fact that the comment did not take the form of an approval of the position taken by you at the supreme judge against to Dallas, Texas, or did not pronounce you as a "stateman" as some others may have, you have been kind enough to send me copies of at least three of your kind enough to send me copies of at least three of them to whom you sent copies of your open printed letter and who un- RBB:WF Sir E.

Chicago Negroes Have Awful Death Rate, Report Says Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—"The Negro death rate in Chicago is twice that of the city as a whole," the declaratory memoir, headed by Dr. H. L. Harris, Jr., and appointed by Dr. H. N. Bundenheim, city health commissioner, to faceed by Negroes. The finding of the commission revives the death rate for the entire city was 11.65 per thousand and 2.28 per thousand for Negroes, and 1.49 per thousand for mortality are 66.5 for the entire city and 94.7 for Negroes, and that the largest losses of life among Negroes are from highly preventable diseases of infantry, but fails to support the belief that syphilis is a large disease of infancy, but that the largest numbers of these deaths occur after the age of three and lack of proper facilities, such as parks, playgrounds, the like, and are forced to work during the day and the babies do not have sufficient "The communities in which Neptune lives in largest numbers are here," she clared the report. "The department of health will act to remedy this condition and to ensure control in the public schools show a wide variation in efficiency. Good supervision is necessary. Also, correct correction of defects, for positive health teaching and for an extension of defects, for positive child." The report was made by a group of Negro workers under the supervision of Dr. Harris, who is well versed in this phase of work, and was appointed by Aldermen L. B. Anderson, R. R. Jackson and B. Cronson, and Commissioners, a period of three months. Dr. Bundens declared that steps would be taken immediately to remedy the report and that the health department intended to face the issue as it is now. A Message To Underweight Men and Women The one supremely good health-building tonic that is also the one great weight producer to mediate the weight gain is McCoy's Tablets. They build flesh where flesh is needed and help neck, neck and many a man and woman, skinny and scrawny, have thank McCoy after a few weeks treatment, for the need to lose the inches and theure. Only times the inodes and skinny weight is astonishing—one exceedingly thin woman gained 10 pounds in 22 days. McCoy takes the all-kind-Read this guarantee, then takes four 16x24 ounces of McCoy's two or one dollar包, any thin, under-weight man or woman doesn't gain the weight that is satisfied with the marked improvement in health—the druggirl is authorized to return the purchase price.

BARCUS, Grand Chancellor JUDGE CHARGES CRIME WAVE TO RACE MIGRANTS Philadelphia, Pa. — (ANP) Individuals and organizations judge Edwin O. Lewis, who, in addressing the grand jury Friday questioned, accused the white girl green from the South is checked, Philadelphia and other cities will suffer and predicted that barriers will be erected by the leading cities to prevent the wholesale entry of such persons. This declaration and prediction were made by the judge that eighty per cent of the criminals in Philadelphia were Negro who had recently been convicted of the Negro race severity and according to right thinking crimes, unjustified. Among the charges hurled at the judge is that he is a member of the KKK, a group that the office of grand kkleid invited a Negro who was light enough to assume a member of the organization. Chief among those assailing the juror was the Lauterstein Association **Judge Lewis' statements are damaging to the colored race and unjustified in the North.** African grans from coming here are to educate them in the South where they are. Any grans from coming here are to educate them from going to one part of the country to another would establish a bribe to system and would be unconstitutional.

Walsh, a white employee of the American Chain Company was killed here Monday in a collision of colored women. James Walsh, who was arrested for the killing, stated that he struck Walsh on the jaw when he was driving a woman who Walsh is reported to have attacked.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT. LATE DR. E. B. RAMSEY ***** Houston was shocked Sunday morning, November 6, when the news was sent around by the telephone, and the news was announced by Ramsey, the veteran physician, pioneer citizen, and well-known and universally loved friend, had pass. i away at the Houston Neonatal Hospital. He was hard to bib, ve, for he had been seen all day by many as he went his usual rounds in apparent good health. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927 MEMPHIS NEGROES WIN GREAT VICTORY! In the municipal election held in Memphis, Teenn, last week, the Negro voters of that Southern city won a remarkable fight and notable victory, when they voted for Hon. Watkins Overton, 34-year old attorney and World War veteran, in the latter's successful mayoralty campaign against the incumbent mayor, Hon. Rowlett Pugh. Against Mayor Paine and his supporters had raised the "race issue" and portrayed to the white voters the ominous shadow of "Negro domination" in municipal politics; despite the fact that the mayor's campaign committee employed full-page advertisements in the white daily newspapers of Memphis, trying to prejudice the voters against Mayor-elect Overton, by citing attention to the fact that Robert ("Bob") R. Church was directing the Negro group and urging them to support Mr. Overton, the voter opposition leader, to protest political objection, rolling up a 13.0% majority for Mr. Overton. Saturday afternoon he went home to his dinner at the usual hour and found a package containing a bottle of wine. After dinner he went out on his professional duties and fell stricken with apoplexy while George Jackson, his faithful chauffeur, rushed to his assistance and when he met the doctor's residence for Mrs. Thomas, the housekeeper, and Mr. A. Thomas, the doctor, and Ferrill were called. They carried him to the Houston Negro Hospital, seemed to be concious but never slept. The overwhelming victory of Mayor-elect Overton and his entire city ticket, in the face of repeated appeals to racial hatred, antipathy, bigotry and intolerance by his white opponents, was no mean accomplishment. Despite the charges that "Bob" Church was seeking to control Michigan in the same astute and masterly manner in which he wields the scapege of power in Republican politics of that state and the republic; despite the allegations that Mayor-elect Overton was flirting clandestinely with the "nigger voters" and that his election would precipitate interracial conflict, strife and acrimony, the voters of Memphis refused to sell their birthright for a mere mess of porridge, and decided that the city could make a difference. Overton was not the first rather than under a prejudicial and Negro-hating demagogue. At two o'clock in the morning he had been born on November 16, the early morning hours of November 6, 1882, and had just reached birth on the early morning hours of November 6, 1882, roughly exhausted, a "traveler trawler." Orangeburg, S. C., was closed off night, it was not possible to get word to Mrs. B. Randolph, his devoted daughter, Mrs. B. Randolph, his president, President Randolph by poor long distance, Gerl's left, the first through train from Orangeburg, S. C., she, with her husband, was unenthusiast until they might follow her. It was indeed a signal victory, for it has long been the custom of Southern office-seekers to ride into and retain public office by injecting the eternal "race question" in their campaign, and making appeals to the voters' prejudices by predicting direful and awful consequences to "white supremacy," if the candidate supported or colored voters should be successful in said political campaign. The funeral services were held last afternoon. The pastor of the Church, of which he had been a memorial for 44 years, Pastor J. H. Lovell was in charge and at his best in the work. The South is entering upon a new day—verify, a new day has arrived—when such demagogic appeals to racial prejudice literally fall upon deaf years; when white aspirants for office are not afraid or ashamed to have it said from the platform and printed in the white newspapers that Negroes are supporting their candidacy. In the city of city, open city, open city, seek the support and vote of the colored electorate. The Silver Trowel Lodge No. 47. Masons, Lodge No. 1946 of the Old Fellows Perlander Lodge B, K. B. D., T. Unity Chapter, Eastern Star, starral organization of which he was a member, were represented and took In "Bob" Church, the well-known Memphis political leader of color, the race has a man of influence and affluence who believes that the ballot is the only tool of defiance of the system. He is a man who has considerable of this world's goods and could live a life of ease and security, "does not choose" to isolate himself from his people, nor does he even attempt to hold himself aloft from members of his race, it matters. According to his expressed wish, his remains were taken to Franklin, Tenn., for burial, by President and Mrs. Randolph. ORITUARY "Bob" Church represents what we are prone to call the "new Negro," and if our race had more men of his type, stamina, character and leaning, the race's political salvation could be worked out right in the heart of the South without "fear or trembling." Edward Burrell Ramsey Pastor J. H. Lovell delivered the following eulogy: "Mr. Ramsey was born in Hoganville, Georgia, November 6, 1862. He was the second child of the seven sons and two daughters of Ned Ramsey, and his father were held in slavery then. Therefore, his first nine years were spent on his way to town to purchase a press. When freedom came, he was standing at the gate as his master roe out on his way to town to purchase a press. He asked young Edward what he desired and he said, "Please bring me a press." He was brought. This blue back spelling book and freedom marked the first turning point in his life. He began to be a teacher. He also a teacher could secure. His greatest help came from a preacher who also a teacher for construction from the earnings of 50 cents a month, his pay for hauling a car to a mall at night to get to his teacher. Most Negroes, whose material accumulations place them just a little above their fellows, are either too cowardly, or self-centered to make any kind of contribution in such political efforts or to participate in such interests of their race and community are at stake or in jeopardy. Merely because certain Southern white demagogues label as "radical" Negroes who want to enjoy and exercise their elective franchise rights, we seem to have developed a species of American Africanans, als Dixie, who considers it even a dangerous and potentially destructive way and merely cast a ballot for candidates seeking public offices. As for political activity of the "Bob" Church brand, the Americanans Africanans, to whom we refer, considers and regards such as the "Negro being out of his place;" that Negroes should eschew their political powers and foke; that this is a "white man's country", and that the "radical" Negro, who essays to take part in political contests and exercise his constitutional prerogatives, is riding swiftly to his fall, that he is going to disrupt the "amicable" relations existing between the two races in his community and bring about intercultural dialogue. For years the Southern white politicians, office-seekers and office-holders have preached both a sacred and secular gospel to Negroes that "politics is dirty, rihity and unfit for decent people"; and yet these same whites are unduly and participate in all of their political actions and activities contradict theirirements. Persistent Efforts Rewarded At last his hunger for knowledge then led him to Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia. This was another man who had been there as long as his funds would permit when he would go out to teach on the farm in order to earn money with his business. At Clark he formed many friendships which were to last a lifetime. Among them were his room-mate, and the Fortons brothers. He received at Clark a great interest in teaching, and was while out teaching that he married. Death took the first Mrs. Ramsey after two years of wedded life. He was married to a teacher at Mehary Medical School. He remained there until he graduated, a memorial service was turned out by Mehary, in 1880. While a student at Mehary he met Miss Old Franklin, Tenn., family. She was then a student in Central Tennessee College. The romance was beautiful and she graduated from Mehary he went first to Kansas City to practice. But Notwithstanding the inconsistent position assumed by these white Southern politicians of said political school; and even though every sensible black man knows that the voteless man is voiceless in a democratic republic such as our essays and professes to be, we are either too politically covardy, lethargic, apathetic or indecisive in the way we participate of the community in which we live, as well as the social fabric. Some supposed or would-be Negro leaders, particularly in our section, fear that violence, swift and summary, will be met out to them if they dare to participate in a political campaign, or even cast a ballot at any election where white candidates are contesting for the office. The Informer hopes that the example set by "Bob" Church and the Negroes of Memphis, Tennessee, who organized their forces, put up their own money and waged their own campaign for the successful mayoralty candidate in the municipal election in that city last week, will have a salutary effect upon Negro leaders and followers in other sections of the South, particularly the "brother" in Houston and Texas determining a course of political action on the part of the Texas Negroes, which has been called at Lyons Hall, Austin, Texas, Friday, November 25, 1927, 10:30 a.m., m., would be attended by a large group of determined and interested He and Wife Taught School Eater he and his young wife went to served here, he as principal and she as a teacher of music, with the useful spirit characteristic of the missionary work. He was happy in that service. While there their son, a son was born, and after affection, after infant back to Franklin, Tenn. in the new cemetery of the colored people there. Not long after, an invitation came from Bishop Scotk, who sent him to Ramsaye to come to Houston. Bishop Scotk saw the need for a colored physician to come to Houston. Bishop Ramsaye to come they decided to have Georgia for Texas in 1882. They met in Houston, and they decided to have On the first Sunday after his arrival, he and Mrs. Ramsey went to Trinity Church and joined. These Oldest Practicing Physician Obtest Practicing Abilities The oldest practicing physician of our race is the oldest practicing physician of our race in Houston and, perhaps, in Texas. He had Housed and, with fellow citizens in the first. Then many colored people in the city who remember him as the first colored person for them. He was beloved by the people for his unselfish friendly ways from the first. He continued for 44 years with his first of his patients. Among these in his first years, an Amish family, and the Milton Thouser Harrison, and several other old Houston families. Whenever a call for help arrives in his advancing years, he would go at any hour, day or night, and in any weather, just as he had done in his Supported All Movements from the beginning he devoted himself to every civic, fraternal, business, benevolent, educational, or religious interest in the community. He was a helper, or a charter minister. He was a helper, a booster of the fraternal activity, a proactive effort put forth in the community during these years. He was a long time friend, he was too generous, too unselfish even to accumulate means. He was hard to find. There was hardly a day in all these years that there was not some one at his side to help. These aid. These people were from all ranks. It was impossible for him to refuse aid for the sick. He was expressed in human relations interest in abiding things, such as the home, the church, Recreations and diaries. Devoted Church Member He was devoted to his church and tried to be faithful. He has, at various times, filled practically every of his deliverings sermons. It was a part of his religion to support loyalty every time he was sent to a pastor. Once every month, on Monday, he turned his car over to the passenger and shut in, while he went on his professional visits as best he could. Though he loved his own church he never left it and help all churches. He believed in and supported race enterprises. His relationships, with his fellow physicians were most agreeable. Physicians standing among both races were always friends. In the earlier days there was Heaven, Dr. Larderon, once city police officer. Among his lifelong old friendships in the profession were Dr. W. R. Robey and Dr. D. R. Covington, there came Dr. Covington, Ferrill and Lindasy, friends of long years standing. He was proud of his profession. Lived Wholesome Life Dr. Ramsey lived the genuine, simple, virile, wholesome life. His home was a large church, the church, his lodges—these were the places he never went to. The years he would never away from Horton t except on some very urgent matters, and he could not have enjoyed one. His practice and his home were his chief deeds, and he knew that everything he had belonged to God. "We are thine; and all we have is thine," were words always heard in his life. Devoted Husband: Tender Father As a husband he' he was devoted, unselfish and patient. As a father, most tender and affectionate. He was a man of great kindness, with a less fortunate human being. His heart and purse were always open and he never doubted, he never gave giving or helping. He was a strong man, not defiant, but with stout courage, so strong that he just a short while ago, he saw the accumulations of a life disappear. But, with stout courage, so strong that he set his face forward to start all things. He never finished, though the show Wife "Fell Asleep" Last May May 19, last. Mrs. Ramsey was called from him after 46 years of companionship, and the home that meant he had not been the same since. Last Saturday evening, November 5, he fell ill and was sent to the insonial call. He was rushed to the hospital and though everything was done for him by Dr. Roott and Ferguson, he was not in the morning, November 6, his seventy-fifth birthday. He is survived by his wife of Dr. B. J. R. Baldrop, president of Claffin College, Orangeburg, S. C. and two brothers, besides other relatives. He covered cemetery last May in Franklin, he selected the place where he had desired to be buried, bended Honor To His Profession He lived up to the best traditions of his profession—being a typical physician of that wonderful old school of medicine, and the condition of the weather or the means of his patients, he has been making the rounds night and day for the national visit. Up to the last minute of the last day he was going about like a man of thought of danger. The darkest nights, in the darkest quarters he would go to find in unfamiliar parts of the city, he would be suffered long and was kind; he envied not; he vaulted not himself; he was in no way puffed up; he could not be seen in the dark; he bear all things, endure all things—and yet hoped all things. Here was a rose to give out sweetness and the light to make light and life for itself, but to give light and life. He lived as the roses to give out sweetness and the light to make light and life for itself. His monuments, his achievement in what he did unselfishly for others—quietly, sweetly, as not unto men—was to be. As a son, a brother, a husband, a mother, a friend, a member of the church of his orders, as a physician, as a race, as a benefactor his equal is rare.
