Austin Conference Issues Public Address To Colored Citizenry Colored Citizens of Texas: To request the order of the Independent Colored Veterans' League of Austin, Texas, on November 25, 1927, this committee on public address will submit the following appeal to you for your earnest and careful consideration: For the past ten years, we, as a race, have fought and opposed the disfranchisement placed upon our racial group by the white martyrs of the Civil War. We have suffered unold injury as a race, because we have had no voice in selection and election of city councils. Now we have that voice! By a unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court, such legal action has been held unconstitutional, null and void, and the right to vote in all elections has been vouchsaw to us. The next important question which is, Will we rise to the dignity of citizenship, qualify ourselves to exercise this right; or will apathy, indifference, or to urge you to assume the full responsibility of citizenship as other racial groups in our state have done so, was called and this open letter is being given the Negro citizenry of Texas. We, therefore, urge every leader of our great organizations—fraternal, religious, business, civic and professional magazines and other periodicals, to join hands in this campaign and end the time limit expires.

The public school tax paid into county-state tax office goes to the public free school funds for the education of the children of Texas. There are two exemptions: the holden and patriotic duty of every citizen to pay his or her poll tax, better peace officers, better wages to laborers, better public school buildings, better paid teachers, longer public school hours in every walk of life will come to the Negroes of Texas, if we come up with enough measure of citizenship by paying our poll tax and paying it right now.

RUSSELL C. BARBOUR, pastor Macedonia Baptist Church, Galveston; a preacher and writer of no mean ability; graduate of More- house College, Atlanta, Ga., and contributing editor to the Galveston Ad- vocate. By Russell C. Barbour Sixty-one years ago Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and the intellectual leader of the famous address, "The Old South and the New," before the New England and national prominence. In his address Grady pictured a new South. From the ashes of desolate houses and ruined cities, he brought the Phoenix-like, mounting the empire with strong and steady wing. He made a new era makes its debut and you are not conscious of it. The events of the last few years give evidence of a new era of average candidate for office in the South had only to mount the platform THE NEGRO. "This is a white man's country," he yelled. Of course, he was elected on such a platform. This was the moment of leadership in the saddle. Vardaman fooled the ignorant masses of Mississippi constituency of the preeminent peal; Please did the same thing in South Carolina. While the young Easterer and Northerer appealed to the preeminent constituency, the Southern rode in power on his preachments of hate preeminent peal; Please did the same prestige. We have not produced presidential timber! We have no outstanding statements respected in all secu The young educated leader of the South feels this keenly. He has awakened to the results. He looks at the results: The Austin judge who left his bench to lead a mob attack on Mr. Shillady, former secretary of the Advancement of Colored People, was out of office after a vigorous campaign in his behalf. The intelligent student of the school with John W. Tein and his "colored friends" in the fight for clean government. He looks at Dallas. It is said that Adolphus Hotel and was about to hit a white citizen on the street beneath Adolphus Hotel and was about to hit the Dallas voters stood with Mayor Burt and his "colored friends" when good government was the political Here on the Island we admit that our president has a great penalty to pay. With our 14 Negro police officers, and 27 postmen, we have beasted of our "Northern Negro" population. We have a sudden we opened our daily papers and found long, prejudicial attacks on our group. The Negroes are our "White folks" had better stick together to save our democracy," they lied any campaign in the old South. Net in the face of all of this, Mayors and public in the South, swept into the old friends and the intelligent white citizens who resented the appeal to prejudice and ignorance. Memphis attained national attention. The appeal to Gov. Paine, who was opposed to Memphis, brought the Memphis, brought the defeated may-or no vote. The powerful Commercial-Acured curved huge headlines about the attack that irresistible Bob Church. The atmosphere was tense; early second round was threatening. The new white youth stood up. Overtook a colored friend. The future politician in the South must change its tactics. He must advocate reform in constructive program; he must advocate reform in legislation, better roads, expansion in educational facilities, and the ability to tune in with world thought and movements, else he is a lost boy. All of these are hopeful signs in the South. It is true that now and then a Negro carribean to the court is a real possibility, but is also true that we are far from ideal of a great commonwealth—but the South is a great commonwealth. The old "keep-the-niger-down" politician is a thing of the past; a rebel by-gone days. In his place advocates justice for all. Behold him!

HAMPTON HEAD VISITS GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE HAMPTON HEAD VISITS GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE Savannah, Ga. —(ANP) -Dr. James E. Gregg, principal Hampton Institute, Virginia, the richest Negro institution in the world, visited the Georgia State Industrial College, and met with Dr. Gregg, newly assembled. Dr. Gregg impressed upon the students the value and necessity of a college education. He appreciated the fact that the college attends students who have years ago. "But," said Dr. Gregg "having a B. S., A. A. M. or Ph.D. behind your name means nothing." He explained, "You depend, as one speaker has said, on whether you go through college or not." Dr. Gregg also preached the doctrine of self-education, saying, "The education that is going to mean the education you get for yourself. Your teachers can help you and they will, but they cannot help you. Daniel C. Gilman says, 'Every man must light his own torch. The education that will most mean to you, is the education that you must light his own torch. It is what you do for yourself, with your own hands, your own talent, that is going to make you the best teacher you can be. It is necessary to prepare you for that work that is waiting for you to do, that work out there that no one else can do." In conclusion, Dr. Gregg congratulated the student body and the school authorities on the general appearance and is well in its way, with President Obama congratulate the State College of Georgia on the new era that in beginning and is on well its way, with President Obama congratulate the State colleges are watching the Georgia State Industrial College with the greatest pride and thankfulness in its accomplishments. The state college is going to do its part toward deserving boys and girls worthy, successfully and gloriously.

Watkins had built up a very lucrative practice in the northern section of the city and all was well until one of his "old professors" called upon him and discovered that he was not the C. H. Watkins who graduated from the medical school some years ago. When Watkins came here he brought license issued to Dr. C. H. Watkins of Ashley County. Armed and trained, he began his man work. The appearance of the medical school professor disclosed the fact that the Dr. C. H. Watkins, to whom he was married, had died several years ago. Watkins was released under $500 bond.

The white people should accuse me of so many evil things when in fact all the losses which have been inflicted upon my many organizations were skillfully engineered by them to bring about the result they desired. They should be in mind in stealing ships and will really state why they imprisoned me because they knew that they were better able to work with the sharper representatives with than me. "As an instance of their fraud and chechery, two months before I was sent to the United States, I was sent to oral Goaltha of the Panama Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United States government, for a coat of paint to title the white sharper of Wall St. to urge my men to imprisonment, to urge my men to deal with my representatives, whom they believed they could better handle, they got them to sign a scheming contract to "They placed aboard the ship about $1000 worth of this cargo and then shipped it to the ship affecting its insurance and other legal requirements for sailing as to make it impossible for the ship to "then, when the ship did not perform, they went to their confederacy to buy the ship non-performance. Before I could act, being a prisoner of the United States government, and the facts being kept secret, they sent the ship's sale for $2,500 and bought it in themselves. The kind of scheme was played by the same group of white men in getting possession of Liberty bank, an investment of $120,000; and one group of white men in getting the kind of scheme was played by the same group of white men in depriving us of our printing and publishing rights.

I hold them in contempt not because of their education, but because of the act of it. We are sorry for the American Negro masses if they continue to accept leadership from this group.

S. Clark of Southern University, has forwarded to Secretary Herbert Hoover and the Red Cross a vigorous protest against the rehabilitation activities at Melville, La. This town, which was literally wiped out during the flood, is the scene of considerable work among colored refugees and when the field workers who are engaged in Louisiana under the supervision of Dr. Clark to receive adequate rehabilitation attempted to report at Melville for duty, they were told that the local officials were able to handle the situation. The flood commission is keeping a close check on conditions in the district, discuss plans for the care of refugees and make an extended survey of the work which has been accomplished and discuss plans for the care of refugees in the district still feeding some 60,000 people and will have to care for them during the Among the members of the commission who are to invade the district against the attacking officers are: Dr. Robert R.

Isaiah's Message to Ahaz. 1. Prophecy concerning Immanuel (ch. 7). 1. Occasion of this prophecy was an invasion from the north by Israel and Syria. This invasion greatly alarmed Ahaz. To calm his fearful heart he instructed the nation would not fall. He urged the exercise of faith in God, offering to confirm his belief that the prophecy of the nation would not fall. While with equal humility be refused a sign the prophet announced the giving of a sign which would be the birth of Jesus. 2. A promise of divine protection (ch. 31). Ahaz foolishly called for the help of Assyria and Egypt against Israel, and this, showing him clearly that his only help was in God. 1. Judah invaded by the Assyrian army. 1. Rashabekhah me a deputation from Juhadh (v. 1, 21) 2. Anuarchibuchah, the king of Aynurah, whose mislead was to induce Juhadh to murder. His method to accomplish this was: (1) Intimidation (v. 4, 0). He tried to bury them into submersion. (2) Mirerepresentation (v. 10). He asserted that it was useless for them to put their trust in God and even declared that the Lord had sent him to destroy Egypt. He created a panic among the people (vv. 12-14). Fearing such a panic the deputation of the Jews urged Rashabukh not to speak to them (vv. 15-17). (4) He promised them plenty in an other land (vv. 18, 17). 2. The report to Bescikh by the deputation (v. 22). They rent their land and dwell on it: pervious condition, for the crisis long before predicted by Isaiah had now come upon them. 3. Rescored to the House of the Lord (v. 1). This is a sure retreat for God's people in time of distress (p. 73; Tn. 137). He was faithful by faith, for God had promised that whoever in time of distress resorted to His house would be bound by Him (Tn. 137; Tn. 138). 2. Seat to Isaiah (vv. 2-7).

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1927 PRAIRIE VIEW ASSURED $100,000 GIFT The announcement by Principal W. R. Banks of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, that this institution of learning for colored youths of Texas had been recommended by the secretary of the General Education (Rockefeller) Board of Education, the state agency, marked the first time in many years, if not the first time in its history, that this state school has received any financial assistance from this board. During his tenure of office as president of Texas College, Tyler, Texas, Prof. Banks' great educational accomplishments and success have been recognized and through his connections, the East Texas institution of learning—an institution owned and operated by the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church—was able to receive quite a bit of financial help from this New York educational agency. After assuming the principalship of Prairie View, a position with the University of Texas, the biennial legislative appropriations were not sufficient to keep pace with and meet the increasingly large demands of the college for equipment and class-room facilities, began to cast his eyes about for other financial assistance; and thus this $100,000 has been recommended for Prairie View. The college's more liberal policy towards Prairie View—the only college owned and operated by the state for the education of Negro youths—the appropriations have been wholly inadequate to meet the pressing needs of the school. Dormitory accommodations are not available for the large number of students seeking admission both to the regular session and the special session, resulting in many applicants being turned away each session. Classroom equipment is not up to the standard for a school of Prairie View's rank and classification, and the literary teachers and even heads of such departments are grossly underpaid, when private schools such as Prairie View teachers in some of the public and private schools in the state. Because of the small pay for teachers, it has been a rather difficult matter to maintain well-trained and able teachers to any appreciable extent; because whenever better offers have been made them from other sources, they have invariably accepted work in other fields. Because of the occurred in the principalship of Prairie View and the board was considering a principal, this paper was foremost in agitating and contending for a head of the school who would really bring something to the school; the selection of a principal who would honor the school and not the school merely honor the principal; an educator of proven merit and worth, whose educational escutcheon there was neither blot nor blemish. The remarkable work now being done at this state school and the well-night metamorphosis which has taken place there during the Banks administration, coupled with this latest stroke—the $100,000 recommendation of the General Education Board—will have a significant impact on Prairie View has a principal who not only ranks high as an educator and schoolman, but one who has the respect, goodwill and confidence of some of the largest educational agencies in America. In this connection, it will be noted that the announcement of the $100,000 contribution or appropriation from the Rockefeller agency came immediately upon the election of Principal Banks and the teachers' State Association at Austin, during Thanksgiving week. The Negroes of Texas—in fact, the entire state—are fortunate that a man of Prof. Banks' calibre, qualifications, prestige and connections is directing affairs at the state institution of learning for colored youths; and The Informer rejoices with every loyal and patriotic citizen of the state that such a handsome gift has been given to him in Texas and the Southwest, and at the same time this paper takes its course to felicitate and congratulate Principal Banks upon his accomplishment along this and other lines. MARCUS GARVEY'S DEPORTATION! The student cannot or will not learn best advantages from those who know him well. He is not敢 diesease. The superior must empty himself of his vaulted superiority before he faces ferocious. It is hard to impart wisdom across a room where it is conceivable that the student will fail. According to newspaper dispatches, Marcus Garvey—self-styled provisional president of Africa, whose "back-to-africa" movement and propaganda got him in bed with certain "race leaders" who in turn put Garvey in bad with the United States government, resulting in Garvey's arrest and conviction for promoting an alleged fraudulent steamship line scheme to members of the federal prison at Atlanta, Georgia, and deported to his native land, Jamaica. The clemency shown Garvey by this governmental parole can be attributed, largely, to the universal contention and agitation of Negro editors that, since the government was employing and invoking an "open door" policy towards so many of the big white criminals incarcerated in federal prisons—some of whom committed far worse crimes than did Garvey, and committed them knowingly and premeditatedly, while many of Garvey's operatives were not, and the official ignorance of the statutes covering such—it (the government) could not be consistent in its parole attitude unless Garvey were also recommended for clemency and released from the federal bastille. If we look into the alleged causes these outbreaks in most cases they are the quality of food, the hours of study, the social adjustment between the students and the teacher, the tenacious reason for most of the student rebellions. But these are merely the pretexts. The real causes lay deep in the students' own minds, not wholly conceived of the modives which actuate their conduct. The real causes rebellion against alien restraint activates them unconsciously to them. The real causes were probably on the wrong issue as Garvey, appealing both to the racial and national pride of Negroes and taking advantage of their susceptibility with visionary schemes that sounded big and appeared bigger to the unsophisticated members of the race, was a dominant figure in New York during the war. He was a man of great will and ill will of other leading blacks because of the tremendous, following he had built up in the nation's metropolis and throughout the country. If the Garvey movement had any merit to or virtue in it, the mere deportation of the leader will not sound its death knell; for no earthly benefit can stop a righteous movement, or hypotheta a teaching. There are three types of schools so far at the personnel of the faculty is concerned. 1. All white faculties such as an Lincoln University. This institution has a view than most others. But exemption is due mainly to the fact that it has a section remote from a Negro community which is always maintaining up with consciousness like Howard, Fisk, and Shaw, where we find two sexes which always had to internal confusion. We call such rebellies rarely occur where there is only one sex, like Lincoln University under a liberation force. More houses in this league against the punishment regime borrowed from the miscellaneous who only exempt. The outbreak occurs with greatest persistence in schools of mixed faculties. In schools of mixed faculties it is an incident with suggestive signs. None are wholly exempt. The outbreak occurs with greatest persistence in schools of mixed faculties. In schools of mixed faculties it is an incident with suggestive signs. The youth movement is abread in the land. The young people feel that they should be empowered by which they are guided. Like all new elements, youth is demanding more power than it can Rebellion is taking place in white schools in different sections of the city, and the students strike the public so forcibly as when Negro students were forced to attend the disease of which we complain is the inevitable outcome of the changing and order through youth. Youth cannot be beaten into submission with the edifice of authority as they are not educated in scholastic authorities must be firm and unwieldy in matters of fund-raising. The same time we be reasonable and the just sensibilities of the students must be respected. THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) doents, when they invest and over the school children know that male grinders or athletes are not attending the school whose uniform they wear in such athletic contests between high school aggravations? Where so rules and regulations oblige the school to be grave danger of adventure, it takes over opponents. For years the college colleges of Tampa Bay and many years several of the schools imported professional basketball players on college diamond clubs, but they not afforded a chance to prove their baseball nettle. The Tampa conference among colored colleges is not what it should be, marked improvement has been made along many lines; and limiting a player to so many years (not over 4), it will do much to minimize the danger of "professionalizing" a player to such many years. We suggest that the high school football coaches of Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Austin, Bryan and other San Antonio in this area call a conference during the holiday season, and lay plans for the season. We suggest that the conference, and thus in the bud the tendency to "professionalease" high schools in this part of the state MISTRUSTED BANKS ROBBED OF $3,100.00 Ripley, Tenn. —(ANP) *John Moor* a farmer living near here, did not help his wife, but he placed his money in his trunk. Tuesday officers were taking for the money the man had extracted $3,100 therefrom while Moor was at work. The police said Moor had hidden in other parts of the house, but at that they might not find him. UP-TO-DATE BY MARY CHURCH TERRELL Irene Castle, the once famous dancer, has come to the defense of her career, which she writes a letter in which she declares that she will train the tail of a horse into a high-curving tail is cruxity in one of its weaknesses. When Chicago was having a horse show so that the attention of the crowd was on such occasions, was sharply called to the practice which she conceived, "are biddess instruments of torture," she declares, "that horses are forced to wear for many hours at a time." The backs and then double back in a sort of loop effect." It is an painful experience, would be to a human being to wear something which would bend his fingertips. Mrs. Castle-McLaughlin (for the former dancer married after her first husband was born) upgrades the tail is forced to and unnatural and is, therefore ugly. She is urging the dancer to well-mold horse in its shape, but our horse shows today give us only a caricature of what a horse This effort to prevent cruelty to an animal should appeal to every human animal. It is important that he be interested in horse shows or not. It is appalling to see how animals of different breeds are treated as well as by young. Children are allowed to pull a kittens tail, while adults are allowed to indulge indulgent smile. Or, if she reman-erated a little, she tells the child that she is going to scratch him. Not a word does she utter the about pain the child may feel. Dogs are kept claustrophied inhere旦 where the hot sun shines down upon them, and they are wretched with cold in the winter. Why some people keep a dog at all times and others a human being only when they are in a basement in some cases and use a human being only when they are in a basement in some cases can extract pleasure only from the fact that the dog belongs to him when he is in a basement in some cases nothing about the satisfaction and the enjoyment experienced by one who is in a basement in some cases with its gratitude and affection. As a rule, however, men however lovingly and affectionately treat a dog and show his affection whenever he shows little affection for their dogs. They are careless about seeing that the animals are properly cared for. Many a dog with a family with many A dog which people say have gone mad is simply easy for the dog to understand. It seems to be to dig into the past and some writers to dig into the express purpose of exposing the expatriate services and defects of a well-known man. One of the oldest victims of Beecher, who was a great abstinent Beecher, who was a great abstinent and exerted himself strenuously to publish a book. On one occasion he "sold" a beautiful one in Brooklyn, (for he was probably the most famous and the most famous of the horrorists) that he could give an object lesson on the horrors of the people. It is said that as Mr. Beecher played in his congregation he was "selling" this slave girl, women threw it over the fence, boxing so overcome were they by the cruel institution and so eager to contribute as much as they could. But the author of this new Beecher biography declares that the great preacher is lagged behind on his most questioned, and most way it was safe for him to go, before he definite stand. The author says Beecher was outstrongly against slavery, if he had not thought it was safe for him to be in question, and question any human being's motive and to doubt his sincerity, if one wished to be benign in his benignish his character. The fact remains that Henry Ward Beecher was a slaveholder who did not slave or cause slavery and our group remember him gratefully for that. But the character does not stop him impingering on Beecher's rakes up a divorce scandal which fairly shocks the foundation of society.

Who will be the next George Washington has already been held up to ridicule and scorn by many. He was a man of outgives, to say the least. According to this biographer, the "father of his country" was far from the perfect man and the great soldier of the American Revolution. Of courses, the author of this uncompromising "life" of Washington has been severely criticized and loudly criticized for his cherished ideal. But what he has written, he has written, and every man may believe as much of what he And last, but not least, two books that will show the glaring defects in the character and to emphasize the mistakes he made.

The latest book about this president is written by a woman who claims she has seen the ship establish has written she. She illustrates the reader that she is telling the truth. These unsavory revelations in the family of the late President Harding especially this be true because she refers to the late president's sisters, telling various conversations she has had with At any rate, our group has the satisfaction of knowing that if its population takes, they are not a whit worse than the population of the United States and has had centuries of training and advantage far superior to the population of the United States family has a course on all the THEY STILL WEAR ASAPOETIDA BAGS By Algerom B. Jackson, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) I would hardly have believed it had I not seen it myself, and this is no reflection on the veracity of my most capable associates. But you know the old saying, "seeing is believing." We have numbered the years it has been our custom to make a complete physical examination of all the students who enter each year, and myself have gained much knowledge of a physical inventory of Negro boys and girls from all parts of the country, and have data from which we hope to draw some important conclusions later on. But what struck us as interesting was the fact that neither they were upon the instigation intellectual than themselves, or on their own initiative, they were ahaafcetafed students in an all superstitious custom, the same supposed to be a sort of health fetish which will keep one from the idea of preventing the "catching diseases" is fine, and we no quarrel ignorant, and absolutely worthless. We know today that the various contagious diseases are due to germs. The most common are any power asafecida in has in keeping them away. But after getting one good treatment this nansenase drug might be easier to use. We also non-self-susceptible germ with a delicate stomach would care to come near us. Not only the germs but the whole neighborhood is likely to know when the weaver of this stinking felish is awake and is ridiculous and it is time for Negroes to awake to a sufficient intelligence of the realm of superstition and place it upon the throne of common sense. skevin de life. outen de hole shebang u hiwamyaan de formed an formed er periliterk party an leckted wun er dere number an sint him up er Albirmay, de kaperut wil er mada de made it er pimintiniafine fure er nyboddy ter be kotched wid er merheen gun on der primissi Sim er dem sitters屠 up dere dona m it match sou dat uv dat; doy ses at de murgy uv de croan an m therwet uv thing in at de murgy uv de croan an d dere's er minyah er hushnat wood long long time鹤 shock hams盯 wod er run de murgy uv de croan er run de murgy uv de croan er run de e iis aduv uin er yeen mo in Sing Sing, jis fer havin er gai he perhesonum er gai the perhesonum er gai wid simply sin uv de rollin 'pnd, bed ir kitchen tabel, jis whithew an
