ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE, ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICK Senator Glass Opposes Negro Suffrage In Dixie VANDALS DAMAGE NEGRO PROPERTY VOLUME IX Senato VAND The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON "TIGER" FLOWERS' DEATH BLACK LIARS RUN AMUCK The rumor seems to be a float, apparently placed in . circulation by some member of our extensive colony of ebony-hued liars, or some charter-inhabited landmen. The rumor is that this writer was "deposed" this year as director of the colored group in the annual Community Chest drive; that said "deposition" was brought about to show this writer that the "new" community was not a "new" empathy with him in his ruthless ex-pose of certain BLACK, eringing, crawling conniving CANINES, who kow-tow, squat and do Sambo stunts in an effort to deceive the white people; and the "new" community was not in the "new" as Journalistic policy, he was "fired" as Negro drive director. Undoubtedly, the wish is father to the thought! Ordinarily, we would not waste time nor space to discuss such silly goosepital, and we would not have to think of emanated from a "certain source"; and, since so many of our friends have inquired as to the truthfulness of the report (since this writer was not in charge of the chest drive among H.

When the first preliminary meeting was held in New York, only room at the Colored Y-M-G-A- some weeks ago, attended by Chief of Police T. C. Goodson, commander of the division of which the Negro group is a party; W. L. Shattler, local mercenary, was also present. He was the writer served notice that he could not head the chest drive this year. It was then suggested that this writer name some one to direct the campaign. He was called "Black Negroes," was selected at my suggestion. At a subsequent meeting, when Mr. Carter's declination was offered, this writer was again asked to suggest a rank of "Black Power" (a "new" person). But he was chosen to serve as head of the colored forces. After the refusal of these men to serve, it appears that another meeting was held (this writer did not attend and was not asked to give a report) and at this time a colored director was chosen, conscripted or appointed. If some of these gossiping and prevaricating Negroes will just try to take their pretense before they quit wasting their ammunition on this editor, they will discover that they are purging a course calculated to net them more results.

VIRGINIA SOLON DECLARES SOUTH IS OPPOSED TO NEGRO VOTERS; BORAH FAVORS U.S. AMENDMENTS Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—In true Southern fashion, Senator Carter G. Glass of Virginia declared here Tuesday, that the South was opposed to suffrage for Negroes because the 14th and 15th amendments were forced upon the South and threatened white supremacy in that section. The senator from Virginia was explaining his view of the question in answer to an editorial which appeared in the New York World, charging him with inconsistency in that he was in favor of the federal government enforcing the 18th amendment, but did not approve of sending federal agents to Kentucky to supervise state elections there. In spite of the fact that both of the amendments were constitutional, the senator was authorized to make an analysis, and set forth the time-worn argument of Negrophobists that the South was not required to be supported in the passions of war, and constituted an attempt to destroy while civilization in nearly one-third of the nation and to erect on its ruins an Ethiopian state, ignorant, profiteous, and unkilled, not one per cent of them semi-literate, and these led by a band of black and white to be induced to be re-consecrations in the nighttime of reconstruction. This statement, coming from Senator Glass, who represents the Negro-American, was indicated in the article, feeling to be caused no surprise and indicated that the senator, realizing that the aristocracy was not his own, was intending to be supported in his interests by the imposition that his term in the senate had made him a high-brow man. Senator Borah, who in various ways indicated that he was not an American, said the Negro, saddled the issue by declaring that he was in favor of en- The senator was saying, including the 14th, 15th and 18th amendment.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927 NAACP President At Gary Refutes Black "K"Charge Gary, Ind.—(ANP)—An indignant denial that he was connected with the black klan movement of Gary, was registered here today by John W. Russell, president of the Gary branch of the N. A. A. C. P. which has taken the lead in the fight against a segregated high school. “I was quite surprised,” said Mr. Russell, “to read this week an article connecting me with a K. K. K. organization. “This is the first time in my life that I have ever been accused of that particular brand of infamy, and were it not for my official position with the N. A. A. C. P., and the consideration due the people standing with me, I would ignore what is so obvious an attempt to discredit our efforts in this school fight. “If there is or ever has been a black K. K. K. in Gary, I certainly know nothing of it, nor have I been ‘honored’ with an invitation to join one. “Has it ever occurred to any of you just why this sort of thing is being broadcast at this particular time?” “If, as has been claimed, the mayor of Gary does not want the segregated K. K. K. to go through, then why does he hire a skunk of a detective disguised as a Negro, to send abroad the lies and malicious slanders against the colored men who are leading the fight here against segregated schools? This is hardly the time for any New-Jersey-based school to be created in space and consideration to back-biting propaganda disseminated for but one purpose; namely, to distract our efforts and attention from this school fight. Our traducers should be helping the N. A. A. C. P. in this fight instead of playing into the hands of our nominees.” "As far as Mr. William Hueston being employed in this school fight is concerned, we only have twenty colored lawyers here in Gary, and only two of them employed in this case, why did we have to have Mr. Hueston, who were not employed? The N. A. A. C. P. has had no hand in any criminal case in this case, and I am sure that had any offers of assistance come to the association from Mr. Hueston, they would have been in need of all the help we can get. "In closing, I am going to ask that individual of printing so many unanthon-ous books and your readers do what you can to help win a fight for a principle that requires by loyal and race-loving Negroes.

LOUIS WOMAN SEEKS COURT AID TO BREAK RULING ST. LOUIS WOMAN SEEKS COURT AID TO BREAK RULING St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP) - Circuit Judge Mose M Hartman, last Tuesday, took under advertisement to set up a board of the Negro race from buying property fronting on Finney Avenue, between the block between Krum and Spring avenues. The action was brought by Mrs. Emily E. Ennis, the owner of the interest in the property of her late husband, George Pickel, at 3738 Flint Drive, and other, the officers of a property owner's association responsible for the restrictions and the officers of the trustees under the restrictive agreement. The restrictions were made effective in February, 1924, after property owners in the block had signed an agreement with our people to work on the period of womanhood through the Pickel woman was one of the signatures she now claims that the agreement was signed. The plaintiffs in the character of the neighborhood. It is also maintained by the plaintiffs that she was understood it was not to be placed on record until the signatures of the plaintiffs between Spring and Vandenberg avenues were obtained. Without having done this, they complain the agreement was rewritten. Big Profit Off Negroes It was brought out by the plaintiffs that their property under the restricctions is more than double that price it can be to colored people. The defense argues that Nigroes will demand prices for the property in question; but imists that the restrictions are legal and binding on the property to prevent the plaintiffs from selling the property to the Nigroes. The plaintiffs three years ago to prevent our group from buying property in the west-end section of this city, many of them who were in the foreground, have been molested frequently. In several instances their Louisville Blacks Stage Post-Election Disorders; Wreckage Covered City Louisville Blacks Stage Post-Election Disorders; Wreckage Covered City Louisville, Ky.—(ANP)—Louisville citizens have been in the midst of one of the most biter elections ever held in this city. The election was made bitter because of the fact that a group of Negro citizens, including "Fighting" Bill Warley, editor of the Louisville News, were leading the fight. During the last days there were campaign addresses, newspaper articles written and every political trick resorted to. The Democrats, in an effort to win out, locked up our group on trumped charges a few days previous to the election, hiding many of them in the jail to prevent them from voting. Some were given sentences in the workhouse, while others were hidden away in suburban jails. The judge of the criminal court issued an order freeing all of the prisoners. The Democrats became desperate and beat up Republican voters and ex-officers. In spite of this, the Republicans carried the city and state by a large majority. On the eve of the election a crowd of half-grown boys and men, armed to the teeth with knives and pistols, wrecked several business establishments of those who voted and supported the Democratic ticket. Included in the number wrecked was the newspaper plant owned by William Warley, editor of the Louisville News, who made a hard fight against the Republican party. Last week the News was not issued on account of the inconvenience.

Dickson Exposes Baptist "Ring" Gilmer Minister Labels Boone Regime Grafters PAGE TWO Editor Houston Informer: (Continued from last week.) Rev. Boone, it is alleged, stated Sunday night at macedonia Church (the Sunday night three days before the opening of the convention) to Macedonia members these words: "I am president. I am to appoint the committee on enrollment. I beat the committee on education. I beat at St Louis when Rev. L. K. Williams was elected, and certainly I will appoint the committee; will put who I declare the Rev. E. Arlington Wilson elected president. I don't care what they do, and I don't care how they are treated. I don't care. I will put him in." The church cheered him, which is very natural. Let us see if that is true. When the time came for the election of officiating presidents, the retiring president, thinking that he was honest, and allowing him to preside during the election of officers, they were making a mistake; that Boone was not going to do right and that he up the road. I said we had given Rev. Boone $300 as a token of reapprehension. I year ago, they had taken from the convention and the big saloon the convention; $800 and $400 for expenses every year for railroad fare, at the same time riding around with an annual pass in his pocket. My brotherhood, "You are making a mistake; but if you thing he is going to do right, not oppose it, not oppose it," the Antioch Baptist Church, the largest and the richest church in Texas among Negroes, a man who was not oppose it, "Brother Dickson, don't oppose it. I want Rev. Boone to have that I said, and I don't oppose it. Dr. Harriott, if you want to tell you something, I have dealt with Boone for 40 years and he will want to do right; but I will sit down at your desk." After Rev. Boone's address, before they gave him the honor to preside, I declared the house was ready for business. I said to him, "Mr. Chairman, let us first qualify the house by hearing the report from the committee on enrollment. You all say you are going to do right, if you are, that committee on enrollment should report the number of delegates and messengers, since you are basing the strength of this convention upon annual membership, a thing never before heard of: annual members paying $2.50 being permitted to vote as against the messengers sent up from the church, association and convention. This is something that Baptists have never heard of before, but you say it is the constitution. You said, Mr. President, that you are the convention. I will submit to you and your constitution, but I want that committee on enrollment to report to this body the number enrolled and the money for each representative on the table. I am contending that the committee on enrollment must report before we can know the strength of the body and know how many votes we will have." This high-handed president, Rev. A. L. Boone, ruled my contention out of order. At this moment the Rev. J. E. Benson brought, through three persons, and tried to have us put in jail. I, your humble servant, met the sheikh and policemen and had invited us up there as a convention and tried to steal the convention from the people; but the majority of the people had outvoted him and he was angry. I said to the sheriff, "Just give us time to ratify our votes." I asked the officers all three of those officers walked in stood on the rostrum and after all of that excitement, I called upon them and we stood. The vote in their presence was 398. People with their badges on voted in the presence of the sheriff and we stood. I said to the officers: "That is what the bosses are mad about." I said to the officers: "We will permit us to qualify this vote in your presence, and as per your request, we get our vote." We house will meet to discuss a vacant lot as so not to be called disturbers." I said further to the sheriff: "We are the convention!" We will meet the children and sisters met on this vacant lot and opened the convention and passed resolutions all of which we will write in a subsequent issue of The Inform. Rev. E. L. Harrison is the president of Missionary and Educational Convention and the author at the proper time. The Rev. E. Arlington Wilson of Dallas is not the president of the Baptist brotherhood of Texas will never unite on him. Another graft-tolerant man will be appointed. Wilson has appointed a man at Mexi and given him plenary power, signed a bill to get $100,000. If row $100,000, and offered this man $20,000 as bonus to get $100,000. If row on $7,000, and cannot meet its obligations with a debt of $60,000, and cannot borrow $100,000? That is outrageous and a disgrace and should be stopped by all means! Rev. Wilson and that man will sell the Baptists! More coming! Respectfully yours, (Signed) W. L. Harrison Gilmer, Texas.

Clay. The purpose of the visit of "George" Clay, the parrot, and his owner, William B. was to secure warrants for Mary Middlesex and Castle Streets, and supposed to be in the vicinity of Albion, Middlesex and Castle Streets, from William B. Clay, who with "George", the parrot, lives at 70 Clarendon St. "George" concurred in statements that on Tuesday night William B. was set upon by two women, one of whom threw the fire, the other removed his pockets wallet containing $150. This roughness took place on Albion St. At first, "George" was say on talk, but when he whispered something in the ears of William B. the latter then informed the court his assailants were colored of white. William.

A list of clients of the elderly matron, is in the possession of the state police and will be the basis of a sweeping expose of medical malpractice. State police say that according to a signed confession of Mrs. Daron, her home had been used for twenty-five years as a haven for unfortunate girls, and there medical attention was given them. The exposition of Mrs. Daron, the medicine woman, came about through an investigation made by State Officers Richard Townsend and Frank Sanborn of a physician in South End. With a woman detective, the officers went to Mrs. Taylor's home. Together with Mrs. Taylor, they went to the office of the physician, whose name is withheld, where, after arrangements were made with the pair and a price of $200 agreed upon, the officers placed the physician and Mrs. Taylor, both colored, in custody. On the ride to the state house, Mrs. Taylor chanced to mention the name of Mrs. Daron, and after close questioning, it is stated, broke down and told the story. A search warrant was immediately procured for the Daron home. There, surgical instruments were found and also the book containing many names. A Miss Haskell, an Allston white girl, who worked in a Chinese restaurant, was arrested by Mrs. Daron's, testified at the hearing. Mrs. Daron is quoted as saying that she charged a fee of $25 for each case and said that practice had grown independently rich. Chief of Police Hill of Everett, who had the woman in custody Thursday night at the Everett police station, stated that he has for several years been involved in bringing proceedings against the house on Union Avenue, but that he and his men have never been able to get any more than rumor and conjecture.

The trial opened Friday with Brown the principal witness. In addition to firmly connecting the klan with the whipping, he also identified Harris Williamson and Claude Rogers as two of his assistants. Brown's testimony, a night in January two white men came to his house and told him to come outside to talk with them. Knowing that he had committed no crime he followed the men "but was terribly scared." His fear, however, subsided for a moment when he saw the woman, whom he called "old marster." He was carried a short ways from his home, questioned about selling and transporting whiskey and then severely flogged with a leather strap with a forked end. He was lashed for fifty times and told to keep quiet about the whole affair. Among those whom he recognized and who have been arrested were Homer Barnes, Walter Jones, and Odie Webb.

Georgia Governor At State College; Speaks To School Savannah, Ga.—(ANP)—Governor L. G. Hardman, accompanied by Mrs. Hardman, and a party including Col. M. O. Dunning, collector of port Savannah, Col. Sigo Myers, Col. Woodard, Col. Tiffany, Mr. Wallace Sipple, Capt. Pilcher and Capt. Howard, visited the Georgia State Industrial College recently. The governor and his party on arriving were greeted by the student body singing, "Dear Old Georgia By the Sea." This song was dedicated especially to Governor Hardman and he presented copies of it to the college last year. Several spirituals were also sung by the students, after which the governor spoke to the body, emphasizing the beauty and power of music and the value of keeping walks and buildings in good condition. Governor Hardman was well pleased with the appearance of the campus and said that he finds that the school has gone forward, not only in the character of the student body, but that the grounds had gone forward with it. "Your grounds and campus appealed to me the first time I saw them and with your labor, I want to see for this institution as beautiful a campus as any institution in Georgia," said the governor. "Georgia wants a state institution of which she can be justly proud, that her colored citizens may help to build for her greater prosperity." Governor Hardman particularly commended the singing of the student body, and was pleased to know that many of the students enjoyed the singing. He also stressed the importance of the industrial education and named music and industry as two sure forcements. The student body was raised to a high pitch by the presence of these distinguished visitors and demonstrators, enthusiasm by several yellos and songs. Charge 2 Officers Attacked Colored Youths In Prison Beaumont, Tex.—(ANP)—Whe n Maurice Greer, a Green youth, was acquitted of murder by the court, his lawyer appointed by the court to defend the boy, declared they would prefer charges against two of his brothers, charged an ant charged with beating him with knotted ropes, previously soaked in salt water, punching him in the chest, and then attempting to effort to him make sign a confession of the crime. His sister, Abraham, were arrested following the murder of Nathan Newman, junkyard proprietor that year when he stolen both confessions, and they had slain Newman for the purpose of robbery. The defense contended that the boys had been beaten by the police, and the victims who made the arrest. Maurice Greer showed evidence which he corroborated the prisoners' story of the attack on him by the officers. The county jailer was among those who corroborated the prisoners' story of the attack on him, and there was no evidence of the defendants' guilt. Abraham Greer will be arraigned in a similar charge.

It is meeting to be held at the early in December is unusual. It is not an attempt to make unidentified organizations in a m. imp. possible federation for which there is neither de m. nor need. It is not an attempt to form a new organization. It is a simple, though still forward to ascertain facts. stock. There has been too little of this to meet of meeting. We are so anxious to meet of meeting, we do not have time to find out what the wrongs are. We want more work, we want to be more productive, we do doing and what wages are we receiving? We want to go into business, and what successes are producing at present and how successfully? We want to spread banking and insurance, but what is the condition of our jobs today? We complain of the lack of religious belief, but what are our reasons for not against disfranchisement, but how far are we really disfranchised? We have chances for education have we now? We really condemn "die out" but what the real condition is? We are astonished at Negro crime, we all of these questions, this conference seeks to answer: first, by hearing a documentary report on present conditions, second, by hearing just what organized work is being done to better conform the conference is debating the question of improving the work of existent organizations in making further progress, easily, if any, of further organization. Such a conference is distinctly different. Special Courses At Hampton Inst.;. Start December 1 Hampton Institute, Va.—(ANP)—Short courses in agriculture, recently announced by Director Donald F. Fenn of Hampton Institute School of Agriculture, will begin December 1, and be carried on until Feb. 29, 1928. Courses will be given in farm crops, poultry, animal husbandry, soil management, landscape gardening, and English. Requirements for the short course are elementary school training and ability to profit by the work of the course. A recommendation from some one well known at Hampton is also required. The entrance fee is five dollars and covers admission to athletic events and musical programs, while board is $20 per month, payable in advance. Total necessary expense while at Hampton's short course are estimated at $80. On completing the work students will be given a certificate indicating attendance and studies creditably pursued. For those who care to do so, a winter course over a period of three years may be arranged this year. In this way it would be possible for students to cover more completely the work in poultry feeding and diseases, swine, garden crops, fertilizers, manures, arithmetic, and English, and in the third year marketing, farm engineering, and farm management can be taken up. These courses will not be open to those who have not completed the work as outlined for the winter course of 1927-28.

PHONES: PRES. 1243-7560 National Agency To Train Masses (Columbian Press Bureau) Washington—The creation of a department of education, with a cabinet officer at its head, has long been the hope of the Republican party, but every attempt to establish this greatly needed governmental agency, through which the illiteracy of certain unfortunate American citizens has been compounded by the Southern Democrat whose continued exploitation of black wage earners would be threatened, they fear, by the introduction of a national educational policy as advocated by the governor. In the year 1924, the Republican party went on record when it proclaimed in its platform, "The welfare activities of the government connected with the various departments are already numerous and important, but lack the coordination which is essential to effective action. To meet these needs we approve the recommendation for the creation of a cabinet post of education and relief." The attitude of President Coolidge had been clearly stated in his first message to Congress. He said on the subject of education and welfare: "If anyone doubts the need of concerted action by the states of the nation for this purpose, it is only necessary to consider the appalling figures of illiteracy. I do not favor the making of appropriations from the national treasury to be expended directly on local education, but I do consider it a fundamental requirement of national activity which accompanied by allied subjects of welfare, is worthy of a separate department and a place in the cabinet." That the federal department of education is badly needed is apparent from the appalling report of the Secretary of the State, including Georgina, where 15 per cent of the total population is illiterate, and 30 per cent of white and colored youths in the schools that "the United States constitution made provision for the Nebraska school system to put on the footing of equality with white men—not even upon that of punisher and convict," and that they were in their limits, they had a right to hold slaves, as they were doing, and constitutional right to interfere. This is the kind of "education" that is being taught the white and colored youths, where objection is made to the teaching, and where 15 per cent of the total population of 10 years of age and over is illiterate, as compared with the educated Indian, Indianigan and Ohio, and 2 per cent in Indiana, states in which the constitution of the United States is properly intertwined with tools to the youth of all nationalities.

PRINCIPAL ATTENDS PARLEY Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) Three days were consumed here by presidents from the 17 Negro land-grant colleges of the country tabulating the work and progress of the colleges in the past, and formulating a program of special service for the future in conferences held in the Chicago City Club and the Congress Building. Subjects for conference discussion took in every phase of the land-grant college activity and the relation of the presidents of these colleges to these various activities and influences inside and outside the colleges. President R. S. Wilkinson of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College of Chicago, South Carolina, is president of the conference of presidents. This conference is accustomed to meeting in the offices of the interior department at Washington, but came to Chicago this year so that their meeting might be synchronized and their program harmonized with that of the National Association of Land-Grant Colleges, white, which was meeting here, and before whose members President John W. Davis, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, made an important addendum to the most Important Contribution of the Land-Grant Colleges." THE ZOE THEATRE The combined plant valuation of the 17 Negro colleges is more than $80,000. The plant valuation is $20,000,000, and each president reporting legislative appropriations made to the work by the various Southern colleges and maintenance, ranging from $250,000 to $750,000. The impression made by the speakers was to the effect of waking up to an appreciation of their responsibility to these colleges, and are just preparing to face that realization. The students and girls the same education given white boys and girls through sufficient appropriations, efficient teachers South Shows New Spirit It was from South Carolina that President Wilkinson reported in legislature's willingness to get a college to offer it, and that President Davis reported the fact of a state college offering a degree of a school catering largely to Negroes the same salary paid to a similar school catering to whites. Curricula in the Negro land-grant college standard high school to A-1 college rating, the latter being held unconditionally by the West Virginia institution of Colleges and Schools. A constant attempt at improvement is being made. Significant Meeting One of the most significant meetings of the conference was held at the University of Chicago, where he given for the presidents. Here the spirit of the educator and the spirit of the businessman represented the men who are training youth to go out in the world to work for the Appomattox Club were largely business and professional men who were making the development of their business are making places for the trained material the business and other institutions are sending out. President John W. Davis, speaking at the conference, stated the static formation of a lower, inertial and ignorant mass and an upper static formation of a higher, inertial and ignorant mass. WILEY PRESIDENT PAYS CITY VISIT Dr. M. W. Dogan, president Wiley College, marshall spent several days in Houston, enroute to the annual meeting of the American Association at Galveston, which is holding this week. At the Island City College, he attended a conference for the quadratic conference, church, which will be held during 1923 Dr. Dogan, for several years, has been the most active of this great church gathering, and his many friends are hoping that this signal honor will be accorded the distinguished educator again at this conference.

Mrs. Wilmer Sallard has returned from a visit to relatives in Terrell and Marshall. Mrs. Grant THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927 He stated it as his belief that one of the chief functions of the land-grant institutions is for growing for a middle group of substantial wage earners, the farmers and the landowners, and spending to the toasts of the various presidents, vividly illustrated the "no matter how much you train a man's feet and his head, there is a need cared for," he said President Wilkinson, "knowing as a place of importance and have come to be recognized as the leaders of agricultural science and people. They are the sources of vocational information in our system of education, and contribute scientific data for establishing agricultural and industrial standing." Looking To Land-Grant Colleges "Negroes are coming to look to the land-grant college for assistance and co-operation to their own advantage in the progress. They are contributing in larger measure to the development of the land-grant colleges and are bound to have a favorable influence on all phases of economic life by raising the standard of citizen education, by raising the character, a higher sense of thrift and honesty, and a higher respect for Prairie View Principal Present Among those attending the conference were: J.

PICKENS HEARD IN RADIO SPEECH ON 'ARMISTICE' IN RADIO SPEECH ON 'ARMISTICE' 19 New York City.—(ANP)—In one of the most eloquent addresses broadcasted over Station WEVD here Friday, William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, discussed "Armistice" from a new angle. The text of Mr. Pickens' address was as follows: "The real armistice is not a reduction of material armaments and a grounding of material arms, but a reduction and destruction of those more deadly weapons of the human mind, of which cannons and gunpowder and gunboats are the inevitable material expression. These weapons are the various manifestations of greed allied with class prejudice and race prejudice, and the consequent injustice which it leads the advantaged and stronger to heap upon the disadvantaged and weaker among men." Many people today will be thinking about an armistice forced by a victory, but peace, real peace, cannot be founded on a mere victory, but can rest only in justice and the practice of justice among individuals and nations and races. A forced submission is not peace but the matrix of new wars. Such a so-called 'peace' is but a fitful truce, filled with suspicion and other explosives. "Also an armed and watchful-waiting peace is not peace but potential violence, and soon as advantage appears. The peace of rattlesnakes cannot be a peace for men; many rattlesnakes is a deed for women; the danger of the certain death; for in such a mix-up a rattler's tooth might strike even a woman. A rattler can stroll himself an likely as his enemy. But an armed human society leads in advantage and strike for gains will wait, calculate, and manipulate for advantage and strike for gains others can commendable attributes of humanity have made the society of armed men more menacing that the society of non-armed men. "As disturbers of human peace the great allies of economic greed have been the believers in the claminess of gods supporting the avarice and egotism of 'chosen people' and leading to rebellion against them, easily dispose of these religious superstitions than the pseudo-scientific superstition about 'race'. The distinctions are largely recognized today as incidental or artificial divisions based on graphical facts. But the superstition about race still fetters the mind of the average man; it is even popularly supposed to be the most important and very important natural bases of the many racial divisions. The conclusion of science that the human race is not a single species of man in the streets nor all of the men in the legislatures. Many still feel that race is a socialological than a natural geography are very essential qualities of men. They do not know that race is more a sociological than a biological than a natural phenomenon. The superstitions about race are among the last great errors of which human "As might be expected, this attitude of mind towards racial differences, allied with the passion of greed, has been a major factor in the threat against human peace, domestic peace and international peace. The international disturbance is illustrative of the need to orientalists and other "colored" races found today in the United States, Canada and Australia. The threat of the most likely created to the most lovely created of the superior races against human peace, domestic peace and international peace. “But the vitalising nourishment of the idea of race is not mere racial pride and sentiment. You will notice that the idea is always in close alliance with economic greed: The so-called ‘better’ races have ever been and still are perfectly willing to use the inferior races as servants and menials, or otherwise to exploit them. A Japanese may be less welcome in the relation of a student in our colleges than in the really more intimate relation of a steward in our club cars. A black woman may not be so welcome to sit at the table in our hotel dining room, where she would handle only her own food, but will put her black hands acceptably into the food of all the rest of us. There is method in our seeming madness on these matters; the fine point is: that, as servants, those people are economically placed where we want them, but as partakers of service they are economically placed where we do not want them. Our philosophy and ideology about race are convenient means to a very substantial end “But this attitude of ours is not only rendering us less fit by reputation and temper to get along with these other peoples, but it is also inducing in these other peoples an attitude which will make them less and less desirable as neighbors in the ever-narrowing circle of our earthly life. A subordination of race to economic and co-cial justice for individual men might possibly bring peace on earth.” Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B.

Isaiah had a long ministry, and extending through the reign of Johan, Abaz and Hezekiel. For a history of the nation in this time see II Kigua Chapter 20. In 2011 he present the redeemptive purpose of God through the consummation of Messiah's kingdom. Chapter 1 is the great arrangement of the people for their sins. The Moral State of the People (v. 3. 4). 1. Filial ingratitude (v. 2). The universe is summoned to hear the Lord's complaint against Judah and his rebellion against the Lord. 2. Brutal ingratitude (v. 3). The ox and the ass are proverbially stupid, but he hasn't realised how to express his right as sovereign, nor author of merces. 3. Britual evil doers (v. 4). The Britual evil doers in not merely, but in nature and heart were laden with inglity. By heredity they passed their vices from generation to generation. 4. Their Consequent Miseries (v. 50). 5. Their nepotism (v. 5). Chantishment only hardened them. Their afflictions were followed by deeper and more blemishes than in the v. 9. The calamity which befell them extended to all classes. No one was able to minister to their comfort. Desolations in the country (v. 7, 8). Revolts from within and invasions without left their country in disarray. The lawows moral and spiritual decadence. A saved remnant assured (v. 9). God was saved in a remnant man was saved in Israel—a remnant shall be saved in the church. Hl. Formal Worship Reubed (v. 10). Their awful calamities were not due to the neglect of religious rites and ceremonies. They punctuated obviously inappropriate practices in inducing in lignations practices. God does not need sacrifices (v. 11). Worship and service are not for God's benefit, but for that of the worshippers themselves. They are toward formal worship (v. 12-14). The very rites and ceremonies which God ordained for the purpose of helping them disgust and irksome to Him 3. God's refusal (v. 15). Every act of worship while the heart and life are steeped in impatience incites the anger of the Holy One. IV. An Amended Life God's Requirement (v. 15-20) Though the nation had so grievously and so nobly their care was not hopeless. In order to enjoy that mercy there must be: 1. A cleansing. "What cleanse you clean." The washing by water symbolized the cleansing by the blood of the Son of God. 2. "Put away the evil of your doom." There could be no cleansing while continuing in sin. 3. "Cause to do evil." 4. "Learn to do well" (v. 17). One can only cause to do evil by learning to do well. 5. "Seek Judgment." One must not only be upright times, but also be upright times, the wrongdoing of others. Burdens should be removed from the oppressed. Justice should be done to the oppressed and the widows should be befriended. 6. Encouragement to come to God. Though their guilt was great and the judgment which betell them was awful, God's pardoning and cleaning grace were sufficient. 7. Repentance (v. 17). This means that they could only enjoy good on God's terms. 8. Rebellion against God brings ruin. Religion Trusting God with a sincere and open heart, ready to help what He asks, will help him to ready to take it, believing in Him and simply trusting life to Him—that is God.

Tuskegee Nears Gridiron Championship AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER TUSKEGEE WINS PANTHERS ROUT WILEY PREPARES HARD GRID TILT CHAMP DRAGONS FOR HOMECOMING AT MOREHOUSE IN HARD BATTLE THANKSGIVING Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19, 1927—The hard-driving Maroon Tigers fought valiantly and desperately, but finally cowered before the vicious onslaughts of Clove Abbott's invincible Tuskegee machine here today, 14-0, in one of the most colorful battles presented on a local grid. The brilliant passing of both teams, and the spectacular running attacks characteristic of both made the affair one which will will never be forgotten by the few fans who braved the blasts of the wintry wind to witness the fray. Tuskegee tallied in the first frame when Moseley kicked the pigskin over his head while attempting to punt out of danger. Tuskegee recovered on the 16-yard line. Steve lost 3; Bailey tossed to Steve for 14; Wooten 11; Captain Bailey crashed over. Steve scored the extra from placement. In the closing frame, Harris blocked Moseley's punt and raced 25 yards to a touchdown. Stevenson again added the point. Morehouse came back strong in the fourth and held Tuskegee for downhill and downhill for the coveted line; once on the 2-10 downhill line, he forced out of bound three inches from the goal. Twice in this same period Tuskegee tumbled within the 30 yards after the last failure to score by Tuskegee, the air and raced 39 yards till Smith stopped him on the Tuskegee 38-yard turn, the fielder knocked, and was over the Morehouse marched 44-yards to place the ball on the 10-yard line, which Moseley Stevenson found his way hard all through the fray; though able to gain his attempts to make long runs were checked. It was Captain Bailey and Wooten, at halfback positions who bore the brunt of the Tuskegee offense, yet one could not overlook the performance of Smith at quarter and Shanklin who replaced Wooten. Harrison, Robinson and Britton featured the defense: For Morehouse, the youthful Saunders at half was a constant threat, crashing through the Tuskegee line for substantial gains almost at will. Fumbles on the part of his teammates kept him from testing his ability to carry across. His colorful passing, coupled with his running and hard tackling on the defense made him truly the outstanding star for Morehouse. Forbes, recently transferred from the injured list, made an excellent showing until he was removed late in the third quarter on account of injuries. Allen and Pearson at guard were invincible, while Mann at the pivot kept the veteran Tadlock well entertained throughout. Though Morehouse lost by 14 points, Tuskegee was not certain of victory till the field judge's pistol dedicated to history the hardest game they have played in years. The score is not half the story. JACKSON BEARS DEFEAT MARLIN; SEEKING GAMES Corsicana, Texas, Nov. 17. —The Jackson Bears defeated the Martin High team 88-0. The Cubs drew their first win in the series, opposing in the initial period for a safety and a touchdown, plus the extra point. The Bears then came into the game with a 2-1 lead, for two more touchdowns making the score for the half 22-0. The Cubs again resumed the game over four innings, at the opening of the fourth quarter the Bruins came tearing back into the fray and raised the score to 11-0.

BISHOP BEARS WALLOP JARVIS COHORTS Hawkins, Tx., Nov. 17, 1927. — The Bishop Bears won a hard fight battled horrors, the Bears outgressing Jarvis and scoring early in the second period on a safety. On the kick-off from the 40-yard line and ran through Jarvis' line for a tockdown. Later in the game, the half ending 14-0, in favor of Bishop. The second half was full of thrills and excitement. Jarvis played a great role in the final times on the one-yard line. The total scoring in the last half was one touchdown for Bishop. The game was a great show for Posey, Flourney and Washington were the outstanding stars for Bishop, and the shining lights for Jarvis. Prairie View, Texas, Nov. 18, 1927. Featuring a brilliant and daring display of forward passes, powerful line plunges and fast end runs, the plucky Prairie View Panthers plunged into and completely put to rout the Sam's Bears for 1926, and picked by several noted football critics as the Texan equal of the invincible Langston eleven and Coach Abbott's now famous Tuskegee Tigers. The game belonged to the big state team, and the time of the initial kick-off to the final shot. At no time was their goal in danger of being missed, much-heralded aerial attack of Owen Alexander and Lyons went to naught in the face of a side awake attack. It was only Panty day and in Pantherland. The gang was all there and they played the game that one is accustomed to read The prowess of the entire Prairie View machine is to be commended for its brilliant work of Mark, Dallas Turner, White, and Singleton stood out during the game, playing a stellar game in spite of his suffering from injuries received in the first quarter early in the first quarter with a safety when Singleton tackled a Dragon with a bad kick. The second scoring came in the third quarter after the Panthers scored a bad kick. Jap Turner amused the extra point. Houtte, Prairie View, 9; Samuel Moore, Houtte, Prairie View, 9. ATLANTA GAME TO CROWN DIXIE GRID CHAMPS Atlanta, Ga.—A new football champion may be crowned at Spiller's Field on December 2, when Tuskegee, last year's national colored champions, tackles Atlanta University in their annual gridiron battle. The Crimson team has a chance to hand Tuskegee her first defeat since 1923. This opinion is based on the team's success for the Tuskegee team has made this season. The defeat of Howard University in Washington, D.C. on November 12, was a hilptop. It is well coached in basic principles of the game, and has an experience not to be missed in power in the offense and the players know enough defensive football to adjust themselves to any style of attack. feature of the entertainment not to be missed in direction of CK 72 pieces, cracktuck handknee of Tuskegee, direction of Drye, and through the principal streets of the city and execute intricate movements just before start of the game and between the halves.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927 Marmall, Texas.—Elaborate preparations are being made for Thanksgiving day Wiley College. It is the plan of the home-completion committee to have visitors who come to witness the annual football fight between the Wiley Wildcats and Bishop Beara a big time. Special dinner of turkey will be served in the spacious refectory, and the students will be the great moment of the visitors will be given by local friends of the school and it is expected that the student will be the most copy of the institution. If the students may be does not feel that the school has manifested the proper interest in its graduate students, a student "years gone by," and be warned that the ship shall be established between the two, so that those who go out from the campus feel that the interest of their alma mater in them ceases as soon as they As to the game itself, the dope is all in favor of Wiley as figures go, but nobody has ever yet been able to tell anything about the outcome of a Football game between Wiley and Bishop by the way they played other teams. Only two years ago Bishop was taking in the conference as fast as the teams came up before her; but when she met Wiley she met an glorious defeat. The Bishop Bears are secretly cherishing the hope of handing Wiley the same pill that was dosed out to her two years ago. The Cats, on the other hand, are sharpening their claws and swear by the eternal Moses they mean to scratch the Bears as they have never been scratched. The game is on Wiley field and the bleacher capacity has been increased in anticipation of the tremendous crowd that is expected to witness this fight. Much of the lost glory of the Bears can be retrieved by putting over a victory on the Cats turkey day. The Wildcat victory over the Texas College Steers Friday makes the Bear chances very slim, for it seems big Wiley has swung into form; and as some say, it will be too bad for any team facing the Cats now. Secular Concert By Antioch Choir Distinct Success Appering in its first secular concert, the choir of Anticho Baptist Church, Sledge, was at its best last Friday night, and the large audience left the church auditorium firmly and fully immersed in the songs they covered themselves with glory. Not only did the choir members perform well, but they even "looked the part," as the choir members exquisite evening gowns and the men attired in the conventional full suit, which made a very lovely picture. If there were any criticism directed at the program, it would be the fact that the choir was not in attendance in admission in keeping with the stellar program executed. The most striking strains of "Alllaua," with Mrs. Baird Whiteside doing the obligate, to the final notes of "Brightly the Mening," the ensemble of the choir was in attendance and showed preparation on the part of the singers and musical induction and comprehension on the part of the singers and their involvement went over big. This was likewise true of the duet, "Lew's life," sung by the Mala B. Johnson and Mrs. C. George. The pipe organ offering, Baron's "Indian Legend," played by Mrs. Merger, a musician, which afforded the organist ample opportunity to demonstrate her musi-cleship, which she did very creditu-ally to Mrs. Freddie Light-Kemp, playing Chopin's "Nocturne," as a piano offering, proved conclusively to her audi-ences.

McGinty, informed him: "The matter of which you complain, namely, the exaction of first class passenger fares from you and certain ladies who accompanied you, for transportation in a smoking car on the Dixie Limited south of Evansville, Indiana, is a matter which does not constitute a violation of any provision of the Interstate Commerce Act, for the reason that the act does not require carriers to furnish transportation which is other than first class; and your statement to the effect that the service was not first class, although a matter we deem is proper to call to the attention of the authorities of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, relates to a subject over which the congress of the United States has not as yet seen fit to exercise jurisdiction. In the past competition between carriers and their desire to secure the patronage of the travelling public has been deemed sufficient to induce them to render good service, and that they have generally done so is evidenced by the fact that complaints like the one contained in your communication are seldom made." Commenting on the above letter, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the U.S. Air Force, said a person who has received inferior service, dirty accommodations, absence of decent toilet facilities and other amenities, would be deterred by the Jim Crow system to report the matter to the Interior, Washington D. C., in order that they may not be able to contend the matter has not been often enough brought to their attention. The ex-soldier, Mr. Thomas, further $ ^{2} $ reports to the N. A. A. C. P. that he wrote about fifty letters to U. S. senators and representatives detailing his experience and received replies, of which Frank L. Smith, senator from Illinois: "I bag lege to acknowledge your letter to September 20th, and then think to think to think to think to think to apply a particular train instead of the general railroad service. I will be very glad to do anything that the service made what it ought to be." Charles Clinton, senator from Kansas: "I am sorry you had such an experience. I am sorry to complain to the attention of the proper officials for consideration." Clyde Kelly, representative 33rd district, senator: "I am sorry for inaccuracy in my trip to Macon, Ga., and shall be glad to see if anything can be done to the repetition of such an occurrence."

When the apples were all gathered and the cider was all made, and the yellow pumpkins were rolled in from many a hill in billows of gold, and the corn was husked, and the labors of the saanum were done, and the warm, late autumn sunshine came in dreamy and chilly light, there came over the community a sort of genial deposition of spirit—a sense of something accomplished; and the deacon began to say to the minister, of a Sunday, "I suppose it's about time for the Thanksgiving celebration—Harris Becker Stover." NATION GAVE NO THANKS IN 1776 In November of That Year American Cause Was at Lowest Ebb. There was no Thanksgiving pre-treatment in November, 1776. Congress did, indeed, pass a resolution numbering 107, to allow troops to assemble, but in prayer for deliverance, not of thanksgiving. The American cause seemed at that moment to be weakening. Washington was retreating across New Jersey, Leaving Newark on the 28th of November with an army of 5,000 men. The British, led by the Raritan with scarcely 3,500 starring and half-maked troops. In New York, then in the hands of the Brits, the American invasion which might have been considered a proclamation of thanksgiving for some. It was one of pardonable acts. The invasion of Independence. Twenty-seven hundred accepted. But this only augmented the lilies of those who still stood out for Independence, and in the end possessed and possessions were put. The infant republic, surrounded by foes, for the Indians were rising, and also suffering from the condition which has lately been epidemic in the United States, the news that American representatives had succeeded in getting aid from France in the way of uniforms and pants that did not yet become known to the Washington troops, whose route as they approached the Delaware River had not yet little snow on the ground, which was tinged here and with blood from the feet of the men who were broken in and killed in days that Washington wrote to his brother saying that if every nerve was not strained to recruit a new force, the game was "pretty" whose term of enlistment was expiring. he thought the game was "pretty" and about which those who were faithful to the desperate cause were gathered harmed, however, a hopeful ray for Palin's "lines that try Now Bleached Above Others. In extremity, approaching defeat, that the country which these patriot souls suffered to make independent comes to the aid of the world.

Y. JANITOR TENANT STABBED BY N. Y. JANITOR New York City—(ANP)—Because certain tenants in the building had nugged him about the removal of the garbage, Allan Gill, janitor at an apartment house in the Bronx, stabbed one of the tenants, Henry Anselmi, with a pen knife. Another other tenant in the house was amicable to the plan gratuitating ourselves as a nation and individuals that we have passed another year in "the favor of the Almighty and the light that has smiled on us" (1 Corinthians 1:18). Soilless, the Greek titer of the soil, over 2,000 years ago, who dedicated to "Dementer, lover of when"; a few hundreds of corn from "the burrows of the earth" (1 Corinthians 1:17) an abundant year, inward and deserving another year, by the same favor, to carry back his sickle blunted from his hardships. Yes, but with a consciousness of the obligation which that sufficiency brings and with no thought of taking our ease in the earth or letting it go, our goods in self-inflicted isolation. One hundred fifty years ago our ancestors prayed for deliverance from restrictions upon their rightful liberty. Today our prayer should also be for deliverance as well as in thanksgiving—deliverance from the arrogance of self-sufficiency, from the pride of material power, from swaggering claims of superiority. We have learned to endure hardship, we have proved to the world our active and helpful sympathy for suffering wherever it has come to mankind, we have demonstrated also our resourcefulness and ingenuity in difficulty and our fearlessness in danger. We have known how to face adversity. Our prayer in the prosperity that has come upon us is that we also should "know how to abound." Better Form of Prayer. It were better that we should join all humanity in the simple thanksgiving prayer which Epictetus suggested: “Ought we not when we are digging and plowing and eating to sing this hymn to God: ‘Great is God, Who has given us such implements with which we shall cultivate the earth; great is God, Who has given us hands, the power of swallowing, a stomach, imperceptible growth, and the power of breathing while we sleep.’” But the real things to be thankful for lie still deeper in the friendships of the spirit of men and of nations.

When one has reached the end of the day, be warm and Warm love . . . earned bread . . . a friend— How fair has been the road!

Anselmi. Instead, this man insisted upon scattering refuse all over the hall by his door. When Gill approached him about it, Anselmi became angry and showed his anger by nudging the nosed by a number of tenants in the building. Becoming excited at the man's actions, Anselmi stabbed Anselmi. He was taken to the Lincoln Hospital for treatment, and he was released. League Secretary Heard By Classes At Ohio State 'U' New York City—Eugene Kinchele Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, has just returned to New York from a trip to Columbus and Canton, Ohio.

Very cultural as well as very inspiring services were served in the fall of 1981, culminating when Rev. Timothy E.

The climax of the observance, however, was in Armintice Day when Dwyer, Frederick Day, and director of the school of education of the University of Texas, spoke in strong points of American education.

In making Magistrate Goodman at the same time, Magistrate McAdoo denied that he was making a racial issue out of the question, although he questioned on his actions, "I'd do it again?" He was not Magistrate Goodman's term to sit in court, but he had been handed a summons on the same charge of violation traffic regulations against summons.

There was no talking of a lynching bee, with Benito, the white wouldbe rapist, as the chief attacker! the colored man and women. He disguised of them with dispach. It was further revealed that Magistrate Goodman was arrested in the spring of 1925 in Mansuan, N.J. A woman was arrested for registration card. He forfeited 2,000 boll衣袋, appeared in court, and the ball衣袋 was returned. His car struck and injured a six year old girl whose parents won $1,250 in a suit. Chief Magistrate McAdoo declared he would not tolerate any color lines of woman in which he had jurisdiction. Magistrate Goodman's rebuke is the signal for a general movement among colored citizens asking his removal.

A. Clayton Powell had finished his sermon. Hundreds were unable to get inside. The exegetes were infuriated in handling the crowd standing near the doors. When Mrs. Malone sought to establish her identity she saw a few moments she a few moments she managed to squeeze into a seat in the last row. She went to her way to her way to the front of the church after Dr. Powell's sermon. She was surrounded by Roberts, and accorded a hearty welcome.

Among the charges listed on this page in the police book are: Transporting liquor, speeding and reckless driving, passing red signal lights and committing assault on a police officer in an automobile. When officers and citizen finally cornered Agnew he rushed them, striking one white man with a knife. The officer is being held under $1,000 bond. COLORED GROUP WINS FAVOR AT ALABAMA FAIR Montgomery, Ala.—(ANP)—Quite as interesting as any other feature of the State First of Alabama held here last week were the exhibits of the colored institutions and enterprises of the state. Una.r the supervision of the U.S. Agricultural Extension Service products of eighteen counties were placed on display. There were also exhibits by Negro business companies and by five schools—Tuskegee Institute, State Normal School, Oakwood Junior College of Huntsville, the Lutheran School and Booker Washington School of Montgomery. A steady and interested stream of visitors, colored and white, passed through the building housing these exhibits. The largest single exhibit was that of Tuskegee Institute which occupied a third of the entire building. The various parts of the Institute were represented as: Agricultural, mechanical, girls industries and academic. The county booths were piled high with prize products, fine, big sweet potatoes, grain, fruit, nuts, legumes, smoked hams and bacon, cakes, canned goods, embroidery, and other fancy work. The exhibits clearly revealed how far Negro farmers have progressed towards diversification of farm crops. Prizes amounting to $900 were awarded to the counties and individuals having the best exhibits. T. H. Campbell, field agent, U. S.

Smith, the favorite, at the general election November 8. One of the reasons given for the widespread notoriety of the mayoralty race here was that it was rumored, in fact, one of the daily papers stated, that John C. Lodge, who opposed Mayor Smith, was supported chiefly by the klan in the primary, that most of his votes, which helped him to pile up a 30,000 majority, came from the section of the city where the klan is the strongest. On the other hand, because of Mayor Smith's being a Catholic and a friend to Negroes he was bitterly opposed. It will be recalled that on two previous occasions in his efforts for the position of mayor Mr. Smith was opposed by an out and out ku klux candidate, an avowed member of that organization; Mr. Smith himself claiming that it was the Negro vote on these occasions that defeated this well organized body and placed him in office. He expected While it was not said that John C. Lodge was a klan candidate, or a member of that body, and it is doubted very seriously that he is, it was, however, feared that if elected by the klan vote that organization would wield a certain amount of influence over him. He was elected, no it remains to see just what will take place. Smith's defeat at the polls on Nov. 8 may have been due to a split of the Negro vote caused by a tremendous influence brought to bear by one of the strong colored papers here which bitterly opposed Smith and gave its very good reasons for so doing. Negro Candidate Ran Behind Running on the same ticket with Smith, was George H. Green, colored candidate for city council. The Negro has never had a representative in the council here, but it was hoped and generally believed that Green would be elected. He stood well in the primaries, getting any number of white votes, but in the general election when it was up to the Negroes to put their candidate in office, they failed and Green was a poor last of eighteen candidates. There are two big problems facing the Negroes of Detroit in politics and these two things must be overcome before they can hope to ever place a Negro in office by the ballot. One is the woeful lack of leadership and the other is, that the Negroes, that is the masses, do not know how to vote. There must be a leader in whom the people will have confidence, one who knows how to organize and get results; then the masses must be thoroughly acquainted with the imperative need of, and the good that will result from the placing of a race man in some important office. He must be instructed in, when, where and how to register to become a qualified voter and taught how to vote. There are any number of people who would vote if they knew how.

Rev. Stevenson is also a student at Duke University, and according to reports has before voiced such opinions. It is the belief that he will be called a Christian, and that he will be mentions and that he will be disqualified by the conference. Such a Christian-like attitude is too much for the present.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927 SAN ANTONIO'S IDOL FALLS ASLEEP The death of John W. Tobin, for nearly a quarter of a century one of the leading political figures of Bexar County and San Antonio, which occurred in the Alamo City several days ago, removed from the public arena one of the most picturesque and dearly beloved municipal chief executives who has ever graced the mayoralty office in any Texas city. Before his elevation to the office of mayor of his native city, Mr. Tobin served many years as sheriff of Bexar County and won the sobriquet of "cumless sheriff," due to the fact that he never used a gun to arrest and bring in criminals, it mattered not how desperate the criminals were. Though he had political foes (and any man in public life) who worth the salt that goes into his bread will incur the emmity and contumely of some), none could gainayse the fact that no man in San Antonio was more intensely interested in his city, its expansion, expansion and development; and no resident of the state had a greater love for the Lone Star commonwealth than the late Mayor Tobin. The peculiar of the street, he was a "square shooter," and held to the belief that a man's citizenship was determined by his character and contributions to his community, state and social family rather than by his color, creed or caste. Because he played the game manly and courageously; because of his moral fortitude and civic pride, Mayor Tobin became the idol of thousands of residents of San Antonio, and he was never defeated chasing him. He was a man of strong stubborn stubborn and stiff opposition was mustered and concentrated against him on more than one occasion. Though a firm officer and conscientious public official, Mayor Tobin was kind, modest, approachable and possessed the happy faculty of never forgetting nor forsaking a friend, regardless of said friend's color, creed or class. Though they did not agree with all his policies, and were not always in agreement with official actions, the colored citizens of San Antonio believed in Mayor Tobin, and he reciprocated by believing in them and giving more civic recognition and official consideration than accorded the grace by any other Texas mayor; and even at his public funeral service at the city auditorium (one of the many Tobin achievements) in San Antonio, colored citizens had a part in the last sad raids held over this period. Legend has it that three men sought to leave their names inscribed where succeeding generations would know of their greatness and temperance, and revere both their name and memory. The first man wrote his name in large letters upon the sand, and there it remained until the first hard rain, when the water completely obliterated his name upon a massive stone, which had stood the onslaughts of the natural elements and forces for many decades; but ere long his name fell a victim to time's corroding influences, and it was no more. The third man wrote his name upon the hearts of his fellowmen by deeds of service—by living a full life—and long after his earthly career had ceased and his body had decomposed and returned to earth. Because he wrote it indelibly upon the tablets of men's hearts. The late Mayor John W. Tobin of San Antonio, while leaving many material monuments to enshrine his memory and while he was a leader of the city, he was also a many years as a tribute to his great constructive ability and his genius of leadership, his greatest and most lasting monument has been erected within the hearts of those he served through his life and none shall rise to dim its lustre nor to efface his greatness. Requiescat in pace! RECENT RESULTS SHOW BALLOT'S POWER! In the autumn elections held in several states and cities recently, the Negro voters played no small part not only in deciding some of the issues, electing some of the public officials and maintaining others in private life, but demonstrated in an unmistakable manner that the American voter is sovereign; that only by concerted political action can the Negro ever hope to do any collective bargaining, politically speaking. Newspaper dispatches from Louisville, Kentucky, where a Republican mayoralty candidate defeated his Democratic opponent, who was seeking reelection to the municipal post, credited the losing candidate's manager with saying: "It (the election) was very close. It is a question whether we can overcome 30,000 Negroes." The Republican gubernatorial candidate in the Blue Grass State also defeated his Democratic opponent, with something like a 8,000 to 10,000 majority; and again the victory of the Republican nominee was credited to the heavy Negro vote in Kentucky. The Negro population in Kentucky (Harlem) of any American city two Negroes are elected to the city council of America's largest municipality, one of the candidates defeating a white opponent and the other winning over a Negro Democrat, who was a candidate for reelection to the aldermanic position. Three Negroes were elected to the city council in Cleveland, Ohio. These flattering results are encouraging signs and should stimulate Negroes in other sections of the country to greater political activity. Songs of lamentation and resolutions have never won any political battle, nor made it possible for those engaging in such practice to constitute a larger share of their constitutional and immutable rights. With the outlawing and invalidating of the infamous and inquisitive "white man's primary" statue, which excluded and barred Negroes from participation in Democratic primary elections in Texas heretofore, the Negroes of Texas will be recurrent targets of the Republican Party's campaign and organize their forces for a definite and far-reaching course of both partisan action and political activity. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper The presidential election will take place just one year from now. There are several vital issues before the nation, but neither of the two great parties seems to have the moral courage to involve them in the forthcoming platforms. The fact is, there is no real reason why the personnel of the government should be changed except that it is a constitutional requirement to do so. Coolidge is conducting affairs quite to the satisfaction of the vast majority of the American people, North and South Democrats and Republicans. In this appraisement of the administration, the Negro is practically negligible, and does not materially count. If Should Coolidge permit himself to be renominated, he would, in all probability, be re-elected by an overwhelming electoral and popular vote. He has declined to bid for re-nomination; but the politicians are disposed to feel that his disavowal was with a background of reserve, as the great Caesar disavowed the Roman crown. Those who are inclined to believe that this laconic disclaimer has the categorical finality of the Scriptural "year and nay," aver that he means what he says and says what he means. Should he now allow the politicians to force the nomination upon him after assuring the nation that he does not choose to run for the presidency, he would lose more in moral prestige than he would gain by a triumphant re-election. Woodrow Wilson ran for the first time on a platform which declared for the party exigencies required his renomination, he remained absoluteness, and he was thus to limitation of tenure and was trumpetly renominated and renominated again, with moral consistency. Mr. Coolidge might have done the same thing and would have done it without the golden. This he doubled would have done if he had the slightest hesitation. In his case the limitationcession. In his case the limitationcession. He cannot renominate his reputation, but reliously compromising his reputation for upright and down-straight decision. If some impending national crisis should arise, patriotic consideration must be taken in all important committees. It must be Abraham Lincoln's previous principles might have been, the posture he took in the war, to accept a second nomination. He could not have declined without shirking his duty, and was in the nation at the time of another son who could serve the nation in the hour of its vital needs so well as the president, and he had benefited his health and had been able to impress upon the American people the friendship of the League of Nations, but for the League of Nations, he have been nominated and elected for a third term in 1920. Precedent and tradition have been imposed on paper of face of impending nation- al emergency. But no such emergency seems now in sight. He was the first to disavow of purpose and the different interpretations placed upon his unusual phraseology. The Republican politician was also the first to bepected his renomination. Favorite sons are springing up here andyoning with the field until the psychological moment arrives for the focusing upon him as the only available calculated answer. Where, in the meantime, will Afro-America stand? By the law of political inertia, he will in all probability remain on board of the band wagon, although assigned to the rear of the band wagon, and the law of the himself, him the Democrats do not want him. Between the two, he will rather endure the lills he has than fly to those he knows not of. He can expect from nothing to be made of the lills of which he complains. Both parties will defend the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments in principle; neither will enforce them in practice. John Davis, who is the president of the United States, is a win Coolidge in the last campaign concerning the essentiality of the Civil War amendments. Governor Smith, Mr. Coolidge's probable running antagonist, will doubtless visible against the will of the党. The validity of the constitution in all of its parts and provisions. But neither Mr. Coolidge nor Mr. Smith, if elected, will turn the little finger of his left hand to put them in practice. The will of the party, however, faces the erming election with less prospects than he has approached any national election since enfranchisement. Repeated rebuffs at the hands of his erstwhile political benefactor of the party will be given to the future opportunity will be futile. The grand old party will surely be ashamed to make any promise in its platform. In vain the fowler spreads his net in the field of the third, especially when he has formed the first time's best of his time. Negro politicians, like my good friend Perry Howard, will adhere to the fortunes of the party with the diminishing hope to serve the public interest. The great crumbs of racial favor as may fall from the master's bountiful table. These politicians (the designation carries no reproach) can no longer hope to deceive the race that they are leading to the political promise. The great, the first, the last, the longer, deceive themselves. Some may follow the fortune of Governor Smith, with the feeling that they knew before-hand that Mr. Coolidge will offer little, and with the hope that the governor could hardly offer less. Thus the race stands distraught between the two great parties that have hated each other for years, hopes. There seems to be no relief in sight until the emergence of some new party, which is supposed to harness energy which inspired the grand old party in the days of its pristine virtue. The new party was on human freedom, the new emphasis will be on economic equality and human rights. Roosevelt inaugurated war but the grand old party was not so disorganized. It was disrupted by even so dynamic personality. Senator LaLacotte vetoed a bill that would elect a republican party is the most likely possibility except the Roman Catholic Church. Even the mighty Roosevelt apologized to a historic apology of 1912. LaLacotte then leading an impotent revolt. The Western farmers are impotent or not. The Republicans are so great an agency as the all-powerful Republican machine. Even New Yorkers In the meanwhile the great more issues of law against laxnessness and drunkardiness; the right of agricultural duty; the duty of the countryside; must wait for some third party to organize their moral potency into affective terms. "Him and no one else," he said, "will come in. In the meantime both exiting parties will feel him on soft soil." EVEN IN MEMPHIS By William Pickens (For the Associated Negro Press) The appeal of a white candidate for mayor, on the ground that he was opposing the Memphis mayor that it had failed in Memphis. In Chicago, Mayor Dewey's machine made an anti-Negro issue and in Memphis, Mayor Rowlett Paline's outfit made the same issue. This victory against Negro-haters is to be credited to Bob Church in Memphis, who is said to have himself is to be credited. On the election Paine declared that if Owenton, the Negro supporter, would be a Negro victory, pure and simple, would make Bob Church city jobs as Paline claims is already Allowing for the exaggerations of a politician scrambling for an office, that his defeat was a victory for the Negroes, especially since he insisted that he defeat the Negroes and based his campaign on his "say" reply to a Negro delegation which went to him to ask (the said) help to get him out of the people on the police force and in the fire department, and that the parks be opened to Negroes as to all other citizens who pay to support those who Paine in a passionate appeal to white Memphis exclaimed: "Stop Bob Church with the Negro club with hate." UP-TO-DATE BY MARY CHURCH TERRELL Don't say that the day of miracles has past, for a miracle of modern times is still happening in Memphis. Tenn. A new mayor has been elected in the Bluff City and it is expected that the mayor will hold the balance of power and were, therefore, largely responsible for putting the mayor to work. About 17,000 white people voted in approximately 8,000 colored. The mayor and the two twentie candidates and the colored were practically solid for the man who was elected. So it was given them a square deal. So it was elected to the first choice. When I say it "as easy as rolling off the bus" to put in the power that they wanted, I feel it is my duty to rise and remark that these guys are easy to work with. After all it required a tremendous amount of effort to show many colloquialities, and to better their condition by casting their ballot for the right man, and to induce them to take the time and the money to vote. In the first place, thousands of colored people, who had not been in the army, were urged and helped to do so. And then they were induced to register, and their ballots properly. All this meant a prodigious amount of work for somebody of aggregation of some kind. In the West Tennessee Civic and Political League which for a long time was the state of the state what a weapon of defense the ballot is, if they will only be represented. R. Church, one of the founders of the league and a very active spirit in it, was denounced and condemned and wanted to be re-elected mayor and failed. He paid Mr. Church as great reward for his efforts, and paid by rushing into print to tell the white people of Memphis what great power they had if they did not clip this colored giant's wings by re-electing him, all sorts of disasters would overtake the A whole page of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal was bought for the purpose of showing up "the infamy now sought to be fastened upon the people of Memphis." Among other things which nearly shocked the defeat of the city in 1946, the县城 was that Negroes were holding meetings at which they were advised to organize under the leadership of Bob Church 30,000 strong and rap on the door of the City Hall and demand Negro policemen, Negro firemen and general admission of Negroes to the white parks of the city. Nothing from the defeated mayor's point of view could have been more reasonable than for Mr. Church to dare to suggest that colored people should be allowed to sit in the parks which taxes paid by them had helped to support, not to mention the horrid idea that there should be Negro firemen and policemen. On this page covered with furious invective against Mr. Church and the league was a list of the men whom he had been instrumental in placing in power. The most terrible accusation against Mr. Church which appeared on this page was that he actually "named the postmaster of Memphis, that he had whipped to a frazzle the combined business interests of Memphis, that he had more power with the president of the United States than all the business interests of the city combined." It must have cost the friends of the defeated mayor many a simile to buy such publicity for a colored man in a large Southern daily as R. R. Church received in the Commercial-Appeal. It is a wonder that with such an appeal to race prejudice there was not a terrible riot in Memphis on election day. One can not otherwise have to "stop" them with something else later. Negro voters had registered as Democrats to get a better shot at Patine and his Nogro-hating gang and how important for Negroes was the decision against "white primaries," secured through the supreme court last week. The court ruled that Negroes from excluding Negro voters from Democratic primaries. This one gained in Memphis by Bob Church and Negroes and decent whites will do more than anything else to help Negro voters. For certainly no Negro-hater will want to drag the "Negro question" into politics if that issue is going to cause trouble. "Maggie L. Walker— Her Life and Deeds" The pen of W. P. Dabney is at its best in this book of the career and career of a pioneer, pioneer American woman banker and builder of a great fraternal organization. This book is one of the best in this genre, so-called "bibliophiles" are effusions, telling you about everything except those to be exposed. But this book you about your alma mater, later in life, will be exposed with her. In it Dabney's characteristic is at its best. One starts the story before read so effective the tragedies are told with a bwitching charm. Never before read so effective a story of a colored woman, except, perhaps, in Dr. Dabney's sketches. There is no other biography that contains as much inspiration for colored girls as this book in "Haggle L.

The man whom he mistakenly believed belongs to an old and honored family. He has both social position and wealth, and will give them a square deal. If he doesn't they certainly know what they can do when the next election occurs. There is evidence that colored people all over the South are rubbing against the country use their ballots to promote the welfare of the race, which means that the people of a whole a better day will dawn. Why can we not have colored caddies in both West Point and the Navy? We can make a "drive" to get a few fine specimens from our group into both the Navy and the Navy. Every other racial group in the country may be appointed—even the sons of the president. We waged war against us—more easily than the sons of colored people whose parents were from the same racial and property of the United States. A few years ago Senator Bruce of California termed that "appointments to the United States Navy and Military" and politics and made on merit alone, having during my time of office mentions to both the Naval Academy and not as political favors. If appointment could be removed from political hands," he continued, "and yet we still have the Navy and the apartment we could maintain the high est possible standards at the two in I cannot resist the temptation to show how worried people are about the interest which the public ballot, not only in the South, but even in the North. For instance, Newborough was not delivered in several uncompetitive things about Mr. Thompson of Chicago in an address he has just delivered at the University of Mo. He even called Mr. Thompson a few names, as he boiled over indignation. Mr. Baker declared demagogue" who had organized the ignorance of that city in the form of a campaign of books and taken over the municipal When he said that he must have given up not telling the truth, he knew that he was wrong. 400,000 blacks did not vote for Mayor Thompson, and he certainly knew how much colored people in Chicago as intelligent as the most intelligent of citizens and are worthy of respect. The colored people who voted for Mayor Thompson were just as though a man who was broad enough and just enough to act as though he realised that he was as well as white people, and they refused to cast their rallies for a man who was broad enough and just enough to arm them, to say the least. Mayor Thompson will not apologize for any sleepiness in Newton D. Baker said about him and neither will the colored people who undue concern any undue concern. Selah!
