Rev. Dickson Exposes Baptist "Ring THE HOUSTON INFORMER BOB CHURCH'S MEMPHIS TICKET WINS VOLUME IX The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON CHALLENGE TO TEXANS In a recent issue of the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American, Colonel Roscoe C. Shmmons, who edits his column known as "The Week," discusses the recent history of American Americanism. As a result of R. B. Creager, Brown, M. B. Neville, Texas Republican national committee-man from this state, who made an impassioned plea to the Pelican State "Ily-whites" to wrest control of their party from Negroes and make the Re-traditionally American State. South a “white man’s party.” In his speech before the Republican Club of New Orleans, the Texas Republican is reported to have uttered the following statement: “Historically and logically, the Negro belongs to the Blacks, and the Blacks have not left breath he urged his auditors to see to it, however, that the Negro was only identified with the Republican party in the South in “his rightful place.” It seems that this speech of the Republican Republican-Democrat was delivered before the “lily-white” club of the Pelican City, which is now seeking to oust and discredit Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at the port of New Orleans, and the acknowledged leader of the Republican party in the South. However, Mr. Creager does not seem to be consistent in his “anti-attitude; for if our memory is not in error, this same so-called Republican leader labored with might and main to defeat Congressman Harry M. M. C. to the South, and to the South to accuse Mr. Wurzbach of being “colored” or a “Negro.” But back to the article by Colonel Simmons, which advises the national Republican leaders that when these Republicans were not in the same manner—wish to drive—the colored “leaders” out of the party, “they put notions into the heads of colored Republicans about how to drive Republican presidents out of Washington.” The American Americanist has, in that, that Hon. Emmett J. Scott, former Texan and secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D. C., “is enough of a spiritualist to get in touch with his benefactor, N. Wright Cuney, and the American Americanist. Let us, however, creaser down a buttonhole or two.” This challenge, (both from the colonel and Creager) The Informer takes it, is hurled at the red-blooded Negroes of Texas, whom the colonel refers to in said article as being “brave, rich, intelligent people,” and, while Creager and his partisan consorts have driven or eliminated Texas Negroes from the ranks of the Republican party in this state, this paper believes that there are yet Negroes within the confluences of this state—which has produced such political leaders and sages as Cuney, Scott, the Fergussons, “Bill” McDonald, et al—to restore the Republican party to the people, and to drive from its ranks these lily-white political manipulators who are more concerned with federal patronage than in building up and maintaining a real, functioning Republican organization in Texas. If the Texas Negroes are “brave, rich, and intelligent,” as Col. Simmons so graciously asserts in his recent article, they will invade Austin, Texas, Nov. 26, 1927, and devise plans and means whereby the Negroes of Texas can regain and retain their rightful place in the political life of this state and section. Will the Negroes of Texas accept this challenge? DR. 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.

"Tiger" Flowers, the battling "Deacon" from Atlanta, Ga., who formerly held the middleweight championship of the world and had his title virtually taken away from him in a Windy City bout with Mickey Walker, Dec. 3, 1926, died here Wednesday night after a minor operation. The announcement of Flowers' peculiar death was made by Walk Miller, his manager, after information concerning his physical condition was refused at the private hospital where a growth had been removed from just above his left eye. Flowers won the championship from Harry Greb in a 15-round decision fight at Madison Square Garden February 26, 1926, and had fought his last battle November 12, knocking out Leo Gates, a heavyweight, in four frames. The boxing commission had only recently ruled that Walker, the champion, should sign articles to fight Flowers within the next two or three months. STARTS HOSPITAL AT PELICAN CITY New Orleans, La. —(ANP) The Methodist Episcopal Church through its board of education, with Bishop Hirsch M.

The city's plans are now being drawn up, and the structure which will be built approximated approximately $50,000, will be started in nine future. Arroio the New Orleans Colored Hospital Association, which has charge of the work, will be the city's first party which was purchased last week. PACKED CHURCH GREETED CHOIR'S SACRED SERVICE With every available seat utilized at Bethel Baptist Church Sunday night, a capacity congregation witnessed and apparently enjoyed the sacred song service rendered by the senior choir under the direction of Madame Laura Allen-Green, who has served in this role at the local church under four pastors, and who ranks as one of the leading music teachers and choir directors of the city and section. Long before the processional, the church was packed with people eager for the first number, and when the choir entered and sang its first anthem, satisfaction seemed to have been registered on the faces of the majority of the auditors. The program was chiefly a repetition of the "twilight musicals given at the church several Sundays ago and repeated by request. (In this connection, numerous requests have already been made upon Pastor J. R. Burdette and Mrs. Green for another such musical treat, and it is more than likely that a similar program, with entirely different music, will be given Sunday night, December 11, 1927.) After the song service 15 contestants in the church's diamond ring contest, reported in excess of $1,000, with Mrs. M. L. Savoy leading the field and winning the capital award.

"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. Two Negro Aldermen Elected In New York New York City — Fred R. Moore, Republican for years, editor of the New York Age, was returned a victor over George Masterson, (white) Democrat and present incumbent, for the aldermanic seat from the 19th aldermanic district. John Clifford Hawkins, Republican, was elected as alderman to represent the 21st aldermanic district. He defeated his opponent, Heuri W. Shields, present incumbent, Democrat, and also a former state assemblyman by a vote of 58-41. In addition, he declared: "I will deal with the Negroes fairly and honestly. My actions will be performed openly; there will be no secret agreements." Bob Church Enters Battle For a time it seemed as if the Negro was between the proverbial "devil and the deep blue sea." In the early stages of the campaign the West Tennessee Republican Political League, a body initiated by George W. Lee, and a few other leaders, decided to refrain from supporting either candidate. Bob Church, the recognized political leader of this section, stepped into the breach and after analyzing the platforms of the candidates urged his followers to lead their support to Overton. This they did, and Overton was elected. At the announcement that Church was supporting Overton, every underhander trick was tried by the overton crowd. Page advertisements in the daily newspapers were published setting forth the menace of Negroes holding the balance of power. Church was held up as the boss who would rule national and local politics and who could be "able to defeat a white woman for office in this city." They pointed to his power in national politics and charged that he named the postmaster and district attorney of this city. Even this argument failed, and on Thursday right thinking citizens of both races went to the polls and proved that neither group wanted a Negrophobist as the mayor of the city. This election proved that the Negroes hold the balance of power and that the majority of the city is the control of the state. The mayor-elect made his position plain from the beginning and is reported to have conducted a Two Negro Elected New York City—Fred R. Moore, R.

He was educated in the Hibernian and Industrial School and graduated from Lincoln University in 1903. He then came to New York and studied law at N.Y.U. University. In 1910 he married Miss Edith M. Libert, also a Republican member of the assembly from the 21st district, 1019, 1920 and 1921. The new alderman has been assistant shipping counsel to the U.S. Shipping Board for 5 years, being the only Negro to serve in that capacity. At the office, 45 Broadway, Mr. Hawk, in a made the announcement that he has tendered his resignation to become effective immediately upon being inducted into his new office. The salary of an alderman is $5,000, and the term is for 2 years. Editor Moore 70 Years Old Mr. Moore, who is 70, came to New York nearly a half century ago from Washington, D.

Matthews expressed the ardent wish that "this gathering will succeed in performing some substantial service for the colored people of America by actually setting in motion some permanent and helpful force for change." The special assistant to the United States attorney general further urged less oratory and more action and suggested that instead of discussing policy, the attorney general should be given the consideration and discussion of health, housing and sanitation, and to the raising of a well-defined policy to address such proportions as to adequately to unite the effort of the Urban League and other firms procuring better homes in the poor districts of the cities, "in order that the city may be better cared for" bedrin."

(For The Associated Negro Press) Confidently, what, I really mean to write as the heading of this article is "the man who can get you your car." But that title took too much space, so I am getting it out of my system in the first paragraph. You can choose either title you wish, but the title is not the best one. I have known other preachers to take a text, close the book, whoook for an or so and never say a word about a teacher and then whooing begins. "You don't days most everyone has a car or a Ford and everyone can talk or understand "car talk." Nowadays people are more sensitive about the condition and performance of their cars and the physical defects. You insult a man when you tell him his car rattles like a "missing," "drawing oil," the carburator needs adjustment and shows many evidences of mechanical deprecipitate, you are "kidding" him when you tell him he is losing flesh, has a cough, poor color, and that he'd better see a Everyone who has a car wants it to be as comfortable as possible and long as possible. You should follow the rules laid down for the attainment of this end. Almost everyone wants a car that is parapetally free from sickness through the years. But how few give their own car to the same car owners like自己. But your car are neglected and good advice goes by unheeded. But what you oil every 400 to 500 miles, you heat it at regular intervals, the carbon burnt ever so often, and do the many things you keep your car in good running order. Why not give yourself the same care? Do you think more of your ear than of yourself? Are you as good as your car? (Please note return to text.) Now I am going to get personal. If you are under forty years of age, you should go see your doctor once a year for a complete examination. If you are perchance over forty you should seek the advice of your physician at least twice a year. It doesn't matter how you think you feel, it is best for your good, your family and those who are dependent upon you or love you, to have a physical inventory taken as per above directions. Perhaps your are not "hitting" on all cylinders, your spark-plugs may be fouled, your carburetor needs adjustment to keep you from burning too much gas and getting low mileage. It might be well to get rid of that carbon in your cylinders. That "knocking" tells you there's something wrong. Better get the bolts tightened up a bit, before you have a breakdown. It costs a whole lot more to put the old car in the shop for a long stay than does a periodical looking over by an expert. If you are wise you will take the hint, but if you are not wise, or in other words hardhearted, or indifferent, you will take the count. Yes, your car is a wonderful piece of machinery or a wonderful bit of gift. On the car you give it. But your body is a wonderful than any car ever built, and will fight like blazes to keep from it. You must get you just what it a chance to give it a chance. You have a habit of taking you along with it. All who do not want to be janked up to your car, heap, hold your hands. Then they under forty go to your doctor once a year, and if over forty go to him at least once, you tell the truth about the "boat" Get a little joy out of life. Don't be the corner and dig in the gheas, nor run around in the sigh. Make laughter. Turn your tears into smile. It's hard at first, you pay and pay in the end. Old friends and new ones made. The whole world is seeking the sunshine. Get a little joy out of life.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927 THE NEGRO RULING AMERICA By DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON (For The Associated Negro Press) If the Negro is ruling America, though in a lowered way as was proved in the article Negro Domination, it were well that the race awakes to the significance of the fact that America is taking tone in music dress, make-up and manners from the less ideal types of Negroes; if indeed we have this powerful influence as a race, then it is possible if we lift the life and ideals of our masses to bring up America with us. From a sense then of patriotism, we should be lifting the aims of the Negro masses in art and living. As a race we should put a ban upon the loud, screechy discord that is regarded as Negro music. It sounds like fiends celebrating and is acceptable to discordant natures. I heard a man say the other day that when the graphophone started he left. It was devoted to jazz music. It is a music representing savage life and tones and sets a refined nature on edge. Finer music develops all that is noble in our natures, but jazz unchains the beast within us that centuries have tried to tame. Children reared under the influence of sensual music early develop uncontrollable passions. Before the war the Negro wrote music running up into the sublime. Negro folk songs of the South dominate the musical life of American colleges, they are their favorite songs. They sound the depths of affection, loyalty, and patriotism. Freedom and imitation of white life have turned this exalted talent downward from higher emotions to the worship of sex. The first music was of God, the present day devilish. We must determine to make the production of degenerate art discreditable and unremunerative. We do not encourage our refined Negro artists as a race and many of them have to stoop to degenerate art or starve. As one enters our more refined homes, noting the artistic furnishings and decorations also the natural aptitude of better classes for refined ways, there is much hope that we will be diseiples as well as examples to lift the tastes of our more unfortunate classes. The better class of whites would be astounded to see the real artistic advance of the Negro. He would decide that this thirst for beauty in so many homes springs from nature and is inherited and not mere imitation. I remember a young white woman who used a young colored woman to help her with her apartment and she did not mind taking her roomers, "Oh, Hk katie lives in a finer house than this and it is so nice to have a room to size the sacrifice that colored people make to own a home. They do not stop to think that the more uncuttiest people in the world saerfa they tell from sunlight to sunset. The music of the "Blues" truly represents his feelings under continuation of his pent up power. There is danger in this situation of the upper strata of a race, or race or nation down the real status of a people. It is dragged down to degeneracy the upper strata of their civilization. If masses of black people lower the lower tiers of their music; unless they are not themselves the level of the children of cultured classes. We see this going on around us today. We are warned that children stronger than the weaker will fall together. Little Excursions BY ALICE DUNBAR NELSON (For The Associated Negro Press) Cheyney is a lovely place.

BOSTON STAGES HUGE CARNIVAL OF ALL NATIONS Boston, Mass. —(ANP) —The Negro's part in the Festival of Nations, held Saturday in Mechanics Building, equalled the splendor of all the other races and nationalities on the program. Six hands, four orchestras, seven choruses, and thirteen dancing groups were included in the two programs, which included a carnival, under the auspices of the League of Neighbors, and a pep rally from public and private schools and from social settlements gave characteristic dances, songs, and drills from 2 to 10 years old, adults of twenty-one nationalities, including native-born Americans, pre-1910 Festival of Nations, in the evening. There was a orchestra orchestra, Russian dancers, prize Polish chorus, black musicians, Negro spirituals, an American Indian dance, Greek patrol, Spanish pantomime, songs of many race songs, by groups in native costume, and exhibitions of the arts and handicrafts. Dr. W. O. Taylor and S. A. Allen of the Urban League, had gathered some native artists, and song James Weldon Johnson's "Land of Song" and Sing" and some Negro spirituals. Mrs. Alice Davis Crawford was the Mildred Davenport danced "The Sting" at her best. Her attendants and visitors were arranged by Miss Helen Snelson. The Boston Chronicle sponsored a booth in which all the Negro newspapers Messenger, the American News, Afro-American, Defender, the Light, and others. October, come its friends and well-fair and school conference. Wishers to celebrate a community There are always good speakers, an artist to sing in the evening, or to play; demonstrations and group conferences; exhibits of work done in all the various communities in the county for miles around; prizes awarded for handiwork, and farm products; reports of working committees, a baby show, with prizes for healthy babies; luncheon and supper served by the pupils in home economics to the hundreds of visitors; a foot-ball game. In fact, a general good time day for everyone. And people pour in from Philadelphia, from Chester, from Delaware, from Maryland, from West Chester, from Media, from all the little towns and hamlets and farms for miles around. Principal Leslie P. Hill and his faculty and pupils are everywhere, welcoming, making happy the visitors. The exhibits are thronged all day, the chapel is packed at the meetings and the concert. And when late at night the last of the buses and cars and flivers has honked its way down the winding road to the main highway, and waved its farewell to the group of grey stone buildings on the hillside, it is with a feeling of deep satisfaction that the school turns out its lights and goes to sleep tired and happy at having given its friends a demonstration of work well done, and hospitality beautifully dispensed. And the Community League which has been cooperating with the school retires to West Chester to check the books for another year. Last Saturday Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes and Slater Funds spoke in the morning. James Weldon Johnson thrilled the afternoon session. For he not only made a speech, but he read one of the sermons from his "God's Trombones"—"Go Down Death," and there was not a dry eye in the room when he had finished. But in the evening! Mme.

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.

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.

White Boy's Death Charged To Youths White Boy's Death Charged To Youths Springfield, Mass. — (ANP) A white youth is dead at Mercy Hospital and two Negro boys, 14 years of age, are being held by the police under a $15,600 each, charged with murder. The police say that Arthur Pomeroy, victim, was attacked in Chastity Louis Chambers, both 14. It is alleged that the two negro youths killed the boy, stabbing knives into his heart. It is said that Pomeroy was walking when he was attacked by two boys, hera. Other white boys joined in the attack and the two Negro boys were routed. White and Chambers, the police say, followed Pomeroy, and later attacked the two Negro boys in Chestnut and Tenth Streets. There the wounds were inflicted. Both the dying youth identified White and Chambers at the Mercy Hospital, police. qualifiedly approved the position, argument and allegations made by you in the supreme lodge at the convention held in Chicago during August 1927, against taking the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas, in 1929. One of them went so far as to impute to you the attribute of a statesman. You not only approved the comment made by the writer of these afforeshments, but you then mimeographed and circulated them throughout the supreme lodge in a居士position that if some chance, your opinion is considered un考虑. You, however, do not, however, agree with the supreme taking the supreme lodge to Dallas, Texas, it was received with great applause; but if not, then it was branded as a lecture. A just criticism from one who may not be in your good graces, or not within the "inner circle" of the supreme lodge might be utilized by you if taken in the proper light, in advancing and subserving the best interests of the order. The writer, during the last eight or nine years, has been a public or a quasi-public office, and as such, your official conduct, in that case, is not a public or a quasi-public office, and as such, your official conduct, in that case, are subjected to criticism from any member of the order; but it seems to be a hopeless task. I shall, however, in the future as I have in the past, approve your official conduct or acts so far as they are right, and to criticize them if they are wrong; and if this be disloyalty or treason, you can, if you wish, "make the most of it!" You were successful, by the fight you made against the supreme lodge to Dallas, in winning your contention and with that victory you must take whatever criticism which might be the result of it was achieved.

RBB:WF 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.

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.

ROOTERS PREPARE FOR GRID BATTLE Saturday is the day when the strong Galveston squad will invade Houston as the first serious threat to the Yate Hi Lions' winning streak. The Islanders have been going good, having lost only one game during the season. The Lion aggregation realizes the difficulty of the situation and is working until late into the twilight rounding out a machine to stop the plunging, line-ripping Galvestonians. The rooters are confident that their squad will make a most favorable showing. They are planning to be on hand in large numbers, and to root as never before to make the going for the gallant Yates gridsters easy as possible. But even in this they will have competition, because from all reports, the Galveston rooters will follow their squad in numbers sufficiently large to charter interurban cars. The Yates rooters are making plans for the comfort and convenience of the Galveston rooters. A special section of the stand will be reserved for them, and they will be given the opportunity to make a demonstration between halves. From all indications, Barr's athletic field will be the scene of much excitement when the Yates Lions and the Galveston Sandcrabs battle for honors on Saturday afternoon.

This game, with the elim- ination and forfeiture of Temple, makes the Bears champions of this district, and sets them on the road to state champions.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP OFFICIALS OF THE UNITED STATES OF US — Miehan prophesied during the reign of Jothan, Ahaz and Hezekiah, in Judah, but his message largely concerned Israel. He is called the prophet of the poor. He proclaimed impending doom upon the workers of unrighteousness and heralded the coming of the Messiah. 1. Evil Workers Denounced (2:1-3). 2. How they worked (v. 1). 3. Their evil work was not a matter of impulse, but of deliberate purpose. 4. It was conceived in their mind. They gave themselves to the devising of wicked schemes. 5. They worked evil upon their beds. They used the quiet hours of the night while honest people were sleeping for planning ways to work out their schemes. 6. They executed their plans in the morning light. Having power to carry out their schemes, they did what their wicked minds devised. 7. What they do (v. 2). 8. They covet fields (v. 2). 9. In this they violated the tenth commandment. 10. They violently take fields and houses. A covetous spirit will eventuate in such deeds unless restrained. 11. They oppress a man and his house (v. 2). By house is meant a man's descendants, the inheritors of his property. 12. Their enlightenment (v. 3). a. "To do justice." Stirf equity was to charm, criticize all their behaviors their fellowmen. b. "To love move." The heart was to be gently set to do good to our fellows. c. "To walk humbly with thy God." This means to reconcile that we are not alone in our lives.

TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMER Editor Houston Informer: San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 12, 1927. Please allow me to commend you for your wonderful editorial last week, "Our Negro Grand Jury Bloe!" It really is being discussed, largely by the color of the newspaper, and I have often wondered, since I am a taxpayer in Houston and Harris County, why some of our local colored friends are called for grand jury service at least once or twice each year—since we have so many others qualified to do such service. Keep the good work going. Rev. S. W. Johnson, chairman of the colored division of the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Mr. Homer E.

RACE NEIGHBORS CALLED DESPOT AT BIRMINGHAM Tampa, Fla.—(ANP)—The Tampa Bulletin, at one time a strong advocate of Bishop John Hurst's return to Florida for another quadrennium, has reversed itself and is now the leading spokesman for the bishop's removal. The Bulletin is being supported openly by Dr. R. R. Williams, chairman of the lay college of the last general conference, most prominent layman in Florida, and capitalist, and secretly by hundreds of Florida ministers and laymen. Anti-Hurst men claim the bishop is a despot, a tyrant, a roughshod opinionist, who has left after each of his annual conference a trail of slain ministers who have given long and creditable service to the church. Although splitting from Bishop Hurst, Florida is almost a unit for Dr. R. A. Grant, Hurst's man for episcopal honors at the next general conference. Many complications are expected to set in before the setting of the general conference in Chicago. Next May. In the meantime, Bishop Hurst and his men are mum except to their constructive achievements. FRESH EGGS AND BUTTER GARDEN AND FLOWER SEEDS W. F. Pul CITY MARKET PRESTON ENT W.F.

These people came to hear Lord Bethune, one of America's most famous presidents of the Bethune-Cookman College, and president of the National College. With poise, ease, dignity, culture and with a personality that grips, and inspires, Mrs. Bethune held the audience in her grasp for one hour and seventeen minutes. No one left the house, and only the stupid grew restless. To the scholarly mind her descriptions and interpretations of European life was a review of European history, of art, of geography and of English literature. Her address was not only instructive but inspirational as well, and as she spoke the following comments could be heard: "Isn't she great?"; "How wonderful!"; Every boy and girl should see and hear her; "She is a credit to the race." "She is a credit to America." The evening of October 10 was an eventful evening and 1,000 people went away from St. Paul rejoicing thrilled, and inspired because Mrs. Bethune had been there.

Pertinent Advice About Christmas Gifts Given Males Now is the time for all good husbands, fathers, brothers, and sweethearts to be considering Christmas gifts for their women folk. Hazel Rawson Cades, expert shopping counselor, gives pertinent advice in the current issue of Collier's Weekly, calculated to help men solve the problem of buying presents. "There are two things that almost every woman likes in a Christmas present," she says, "a little surprise. And a little frivolity." "Perfume, for example, is a good idea, if you're not married to a woman who drenches herself with it. It's imaginative, and luxurious." "Don't buy any perfume that you don't like, and don't buy it without smelling it. Get the saleswoman to put a little on your hand. Let the alcohol evaporate and then sniff." "It's possible to pay $1,000 a bottle for perfume, but not necessary. Don't thing that because you're paying the biggest price you're getting the one your wife will like best." "Don't buy a widely used perfume if your wife likes to be different." "Don't by a rare and unknown scent if you're married to a woman who never thinks she's right unless she's doing what everybody else does." "If your wife has a feeling for any particular flower, it implies thought if you give her that odor. You can get practically everything from jasmine and gardenia (the two smartest just now) to the unpretentious lilac which is said to be most commonly liked, and the ultra-fastidious orchid, which gives off a reluctant smell to the tune of about $60 a bottle." "Men are apt to overlook the fact that there is jewelry other than platinum and diamonds, often much less expensive, but desirable in the eyes of women. If you'd like to give your wife a bit of jewelry, but don't feel like selling the car to do it, engage her in conversation not too near Christmas, and see how she feels about the delightful old-gold jewelry that's being resurrected, or the imaginative modern pieces that the French couturiers are designing." "Luggage is another masculine thought for Christmas, but the trouble with a man's buying luggage for a woman is that he picks out traveling bags to last forever. The woman thinks more about the style and whether the bag looks well with her traveling clothes." "If you've set your heart on buying her a fur coat, I really think you'd better give her an order on Pelt & Hide, and let her pick it out herself. You don't buy a fur coat every day, and it ought to fit." "If you're thinking about buying a fur scarf for your wife, don't feel that the world will judge your business standing by the size of the animal you hang around her neck. If it's a small neck and a small wife, she'll be grateful to you for less. She might even prefer a muff, now that muffs are stylish again as well as warm. "I suppose that any man who has the courage to go in and buy underwear for his wife can be trusted to pick out the right kind. I know it will at least be expensive. "Among the other gifts that I've known to be good in the eyes of wives are silk stockings, divinely sheer." "Handkerchiefs seem like a gift based on 'Oh, what shall I give her? Well, they always like handkerchiefs.' But made of the finest linen with a specially-designed-in-Paris monogram, or a rim of rare lace, they are not to be sneered at. "You see it's this way: Most wives like to forget about being wives, especially at Christmas. They don't care about the price tags on their Christmas presents being impressive." "They can dispense with unhusbandly red ribbons and please-do-not-open-till-Christmas signs. But they feel a little sad at having secretaries or office boys play Santa Claus."

PAGE COLORED POSTAL EMPLOYES ASKED TO FOSTER BODY National Alliance of Colored Postal Employees Seen as Organ To Promote Great Strength of Negroes In Service. BY JOSEPH B. BROWN, Jr. Editor, The Postal Alliance St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 9—News articles have appeared in various sections of the country in the past weeks, concerning an effort to bar Negroes from membership in the NAACP, and by amending the constitution at the convention held in El Paso, Texas, during the week of Sept. 5. The writer of these articles has vaulted the source of the movement to the ex-convict impression is made that this propagation by the National Alliance of Postal Employees, the Negro organization of postal employees, in order to enroll the letter carriers in that organization. This is, perhaps, the greatest injustice against the Postal Alliance has had thrust upon it since its activities began. Negroes Are Barred The N. A. L. C. is an organization of letter carriers with a membership of 1,000 and 4,000 are Negroes. The Post Alliance is an organization of Negroes under civil service in all branches of the Army. The movement to request that the Negro carriers withdraw from the N. A. L. C. and cavalry himself of some of the Army units in the Houston, Texas, branch of the Army, to admit Negroes to membership, although there are about one hundred Negro carriers in the city. These carriers, with one hundred seventy-five leans, with one hundred seventy-five Negro carriers. Although the officers deny that the Negro carrier is harved from participation in their organization and the officers deny that the convention the above stated facts prove that he is harved without any constitutional authority and that our mind is insult added to injury. Resolution Passed The resolution, after falling of passage, was supplemented by a message of thanks to the religious measures to be printed in the official organ of the body, which testifies to the autonomy of the church in the Negro carribean in a vein, he in his own words, "I do not join an organization, composed of his own group wherein he 'has all privileges and engages in all activity.' The time has arrived when it is up to the Negro in every walk of life to participate in the religious measures on the other follow's band wagons where he is tolerated to carry the music in order that more revenue may be generated." Has Opportunity The National Alliance of Postal Employees is the Negro letter carriers' organization, as well as all other postal employees, his membership in it is simply advancing his own cause and building his own house stronger, we are seeking standard-bearers and drum majors, we are satisfied to carry our own music racks. The Negro government employe has an opportunity to build the greatest organization in history, one that will redound to posterity as the beacon and the monument to organized effort, the progress, the achievement, the ultimate success of the Negro lies in his own hands, when he subscribes to this idea, builds a firm foundation, produces his organized force in great numbers he will receive, recognition and his fondest dream will be realized. Education of the masses is slow and marked with impediments, but when men have reached a plane wherein they are able to compete with their contemporaries they should strike out boldly, form organizations of their own and launch a ship that will lead them triumphantly to a destiny to which they can proudly boast as their own achievement. The National Alliance of Postal Employees is the ship that is already launched; her achievement stands as a testament to her ability to a wavering brother, the more members enrolled the larger the ship and the more men manned.

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 He was mild, gentle, yet well poised and strong; he was thrifty and cautious, yet he was generous, even to a fault—and kind. He never flinched, never complained, yet he was tender and sympathetic. He himself was a stoic. When a boy, he accidentally shot himself. Like the Spartan boy of old, he bore his pain too long. The wound was poorly treated. The result was a stiff leg for the remainder of his life. During an epidemic of the smallpox in Houston in the 80s, when many were dying and the pesthouse was crowded, he heroically served his patients and those suffering. He contracted the terrible malady. But Bishop Scott and a friendly white physician, who was then health officer, would hide him from house to house at night even while the fever was on him to keep him from going to the pest-house. Perhaps, this saved his life. Though the exposure resulting from being moved about was a great ordeal, his male constitution withstood the attack, but he bore the marks for life. These marks showed his courage and devotion to his profession. While he treated others he protected his family by sleeping in the wash-house. He did much for others, but there was not much that others could do for him. He asked little return from life. He was thoroughly unselfish. He was noted for his grit and stoicism. Among his favorite mottoes were: "Saw wood and say nothing", "trust God and keep a stiff upper lip," "to err is human—to forgive, divine." 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.
