NEGRO LEADERS CONFER AT DURHAM Congress Is Memorialized By Meeting COLORED TEXANS: "PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW AND HELP ENLARGE THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FUND OF THE LONE STAR STATE." FINAL EDITION VOLUME IX NEGR Congi The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE The conductor of this column had quite an interesting experience last Friday evening and night, when the Coleridge-Taylor Chorale Club of this City, where him scribe is a member and president), appeared in a musical program at the Wharton County house under local management of Prof. W. I. McCann, veteran educator and principal of the Wharton Negro He School. When the invitation was originally extended by Prof. McCann to the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club to appear in a musical recital at Wharton, several members of the Choral Club were invited to be should not make the trip within his musical organization; that having been defeated in 1922 in their efforts to harm and slay him, the "mean whites" of Wharton would take advantage of such an occasion to pull off the tour. The Wharton-led control of a situation or circumstances should ye scribe make the saunt to Wharton. Without any fear, but apprecating the interest, so many of our friends manifested in us and our personal safetey, from mob attack and the probability of violent death, we knew that a new type of white leadership was in control of a situation or circumstances that all the rancor and bitterness of klan days had passed and gone, and that this writer would be just as safe and secure in Wharton as in Houston. Furthermore, we held to the desperation belief that this writer had not received any resident of Wharton, white or black, and that as an American citizen we certainly had the right to accept the invitation to accompany our musical organization to said community and to participate in the program received. At the conclusion of the program one of Wharton's leading white citizens stopped this writer, introduced himself to us, shook our hand and then asked our assistance and cooperation with us. We were not at all sure much both to the colored and white citizens of that town and county. The choral club made the trip overland to Wharton in one of the Houston Electric Company's buses, and, though some rather rough and soft, were in the public service, the Bessel Posselman, the same driver who makes all such trips with this musical organization, was able to negotiate the roads all right. An iron rod, employed as road grade mark, near the Bessel Posselman's new "A" bus with bus casings. Enroute to Wharton one of the four rear casings was punctured COLORED TEXANS: THE HOUSTON INFORMER Epochal Conference Studied Many Matters Vital To Negro Group Epochal Conference Studied Many Matters Vital To Negro Group Durham, N. C.—(ANP)—The effort to take stock and tabulate facts concerning the status of the Negro with some degree of 'exactness by a conference at Durham was attended with a marked success that astounded visitors and promoters alike. The assemblage of more than two hundred active participants represented a cross-section of the most virile and aggressive characters in every phase of race progress. It was a courageous number who sought and faced facts with the instincts of scientists and good business men and women that they were. Each of the number was a person of personal consequence in some phase of progress. The idea of the Stock-Taking and Fact-Finding Conference was born with President James E. Shepard of the North Carolina College for Negroes, and carried to fruition under a program and on plans laid down by a committee upon which were Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dr. W. G. Pearson and J. M. Avery. These people, with their associates from almost every country, are responsible for a conference that has established itself as the initial point of a new epoch in American Negro history. Protest Departmental Inequalities At Capital While in no sense a federation of Negro organizations, the conference crystallized the aims of all of our organization to definitely gain the elements that were lacking; ascertained the fields that remained organized and established a foundation for more precise measurement of our growth. Putting the Negro of today under a microscope handled by experts in the fields of business education, labor, agriculture and education, assembly looked him over, discussed his virtues and defects with cold, anger, gaze, what was found was set forth for protest. New York City—Through its secretariat, John Johnson, the National Association for the Amendment of Colored People, 99 Fifth Avenue, has sent President Calvin Coolidge a letter protesting against racial segregation and discrimination in governmental departments at Washington, D. C. The letter follows: "Dear Mr. Bear,— I feel it my duty in behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to call your emblems, which is deeply stirring the sentiment of governmental departments in Washington which is deeply stirring the sentiment of emblems, which is deeply stirring the sentiment of them such stenographic service as is accorded other employees and set them apart in rooms by them. "In one case, that of Punison Bureau of the Department of the Interior, the members of the Department made through officers of the Washington branch of this association procured an abatement of the segregation brought to the attention of the personnel had felt deeply. Mr. Hubbert Work, secretary of the department, was restoring the employees of the Pension Bureau to the location and work assignments they received of the segregation color had been effected. "Another case of segregation by being brought to the attention of the officials responsible in the General Land Office, Mr. William Sprye, the officer in protest against the segregation of seven colored clerks who were allowed the services of only one color in protest against the segregation of write out in longand matter for the white stigmatographers. In the General Land Office, Mr. William Sprye, we are reliably informed, have signed a letter to the department in protest against the segregation and discrimination by color practiced against the employees of the United States government.

Such an act, I am sure, would be among the most significant in the history of your administration. SAYS EDUCATION IS ADVANCING IN DIXIE STATES New Orleans, La.—(AKN)-Sentiment is growing through the South for the education of Negroes, according to B. C. Calcott, president of the Jeanes and Sister funds in an address before the Louisiana Negro Teachers Association which closed in August to B. C. Calcott. The president said that he had been connected with Negro education for the past twenty-five years last week. The proclamation today is stronger than ever. ORPHAN HOME HEAD HERE R. E. M. Griggs, Bryan, superintendent of the Bryan Orphan House, was in the city last week in the context of this institution. This orphanage is a national secondary and Educational Convention of Texas, and Rev. Griggs is appealing to all friends of humanity to remember this institution and its inmates during the Christmas season. TAX NOW AND HELP ASK DISMISSAL LOCAL PRODUCT RED CROSS HEAD WILL REPRESENT IN FLOOD AREA WILEY CHAPTER Tuskegee, Ala.—(AAN)—Declaring that the INPLE conditions existing at Melville, Louisiana, where their investigators reported discrimination, the colored advisory rehabilitation commission, meeting here in Houston, suffered the colored advisory rehabilitation commission, meeting here in Houston, deriving the removal of Miss Cordella Townsend in charge of Red Miss Cordella Townsend, who is a New York woman, is said to have refused to permit Negro the workers authorization to work in Melville and is said to have built, repaired, and furnished hung-up furniture in Melville and neglecting to provide quarters for colored blood victims who were in the hospital. "More bourbon than the native southerner" and as being "entirely feverer," the colograph which was signed by Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman of the commission, follows: "It is the unanimous recommendation that the INPLE Commission in session at Tuskegee Institute (that Miss Cordella Townsend) activities at Melville, Louisiana, be removed at once from the work because of discrimination, and neglect existing conditions." JURY ACQUITS WHITE YOUTH OF SLAYING NEGRO Little Rock, Ark.—(PNS)—Acquittal of Roy Smith, aged 21 years, son of a prominent white family here, on the charge of murdering Crawford Gibson, a Negro, May 27, last, followed deliberations of nearly an hour and a half after the case went to the jury Wednesday. The prosecuting attorneys in their arguments discussed the testimony of Negroes who were held up the night Gibson was slain. They identified Smith's car as that which was used by the bandits, and several were positive that Smith was one of the pair. The dying statement of Gibson at the hospital proved, the prosecution contended, that Gibson was the victim of the same two who had held up or attempted to stop others in the vicinity of Sweet Home and Arch Street Pikes. Smith was arrested May 28, at the Arkansas foundry, where he has worked for five years, when officers learned that the license number which the Negroes said was on the bandits' car had been issued to Smith for his automobile. Two indictments, one for robbery of Joseph Brown, a Negro, and another for assault with intent to rob Howard Love, a Negro, are pending against Smith, who has been released on bond. What disposition will be made of them has not been determined. Both of the alleged offenses were said to have been committed on the night Gibson was murdered. Seldom if ever will a Southern jury convict a white man of committing any crime against a Negro, and it is rarely possible for the prosecution to secure anything near conviction if the state's main witnesses are Negroes. Important Bills Affecting Negro, Before Congress Important Bills Affecting Negro, Before Congress New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has called on attention to two bills introduced in the new congress just met in Washington, of vital interest to Negroes. The new bill, a lynching bill, reintroduced in this congress by Representative Leonard C. Lewis, a Democrat, in view of President Coolidge's strong pronouncement on the "foul play" lynching bill. In a recommendation that "the congress should enact a law of legislation it can impose on the Dyer-bill is of especial interest," second bill is introduced by Representative George Holden Tink- MISS GLADYS W. DAVIS, graduate of the Houston Colored High (Washington) School and member of the senior class at Wiley College, Marshall,—where she has made a record worthy of honorable mention not only in her academic work, but also in extra-curricular activities—has been elected to represent the Phil (Wiley undergraduate) chapter at the annual boule of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, during the week of December 25. Miss Davis is now serving her second term as anti-basileus of the college chapter she is to represent at the Cleveland meeting. The many friends of this talented and brilliant young lady are delighted with her academic progress and the signal honors which have been accorded her since matriculation in Wiley College. BLEASE FEARS BOOMERANG IN SENATE ACTION Washington, D. C., —(ANP) —Gole Blease, United States senator from South Carolina, warned Southerners that elector-elect Smith and Senator-elect Vare, in the United States senate, should harbor to them herself because Negroes are kept from voting. The South Carolina senator, realizes that down South the elections are illegal due to the wholesale disfranchission of Negro citizens and fear that the South will be harmed in the case of Illinois and Pennsylvania might react as a bonerang against them. The South Carolina senator's warning came close on the heels of the rebellion of George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts, a criminal organization of the "moritical" and gross disfranchission of the Negro in the South. This resolution was filled and passed in 1930 to make a subsequent reapportionment to the census to be taken in 1930 and to make a subsequent reapportionment to the census among states "honest and constitutional Tinkham pointed out that "honest and constitutional government does not exist in the United States today," and declared: "The constitution presents and locations, one mandatory in character and two declaratory in representation and locations, one mandatory in character and two declaratory in representation of Article 1 of the constitution provides that a census shall be taken every ten years and that reapportionment in the lower house of the United States represents the reapportionment of the lower house has occurred since the 1910 census and the house, joining with the representatives from the state of the South and the North whose population during the last eightteen years has vastly increased and proportionately represented." ham of Massachusetts as House Resolution 34, directing a report from the census committee in connection with the proposed congressional representation. This resolution would reduce the representation of the states which disfranchise the Negro. By Meeting National Solons Asked To Enforce All Federal Laws Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—A memorial drafted by William Pickens, was addressed to congress by the American Negro Organization, in session here, urging the enforcement of the constitution of the United States in its entirety and deploring the discrimination of all kinds and in all sections of the country. The memorial was signed by William Pickens, vice-chairman of the conference; Mrs. Mary McLeed Bethune, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and the Bethune-Cookman College; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, secretary-treasurer, Independent Order of St. Luke, Richmond, Virginia; Miss Nannie Burroughs, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Ola B. Stokely, Richmond, Virginia; C. R. Blake, imperial potentate of Shriners; J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler I. B. P: O. E. W.; H. W. Jernigin of the Race Congress and 'Equal Rights League, and other leaders. The text of the memorial was an artifact hypocrisy, who are resolved to follow: 1. We urge the sustaining of the constitution and the United States and the force of the provisions and laws. No greater thunder could be made by government unless it could be made by the impression that it has power to enforce such laws, to impose such laws, to such laws. Such a policy would to the man of ordinary mind and common sense, mean one of two things, the government has no real power to enforce such laws, the government officials are consum- Rockefeller Aids South African 'Y' With $25,000 Gift Rockefeller Aids South African 'Y' With $25,000 Gift New York City—(ANP)—A gift of $25,000 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. center, in South Africa for the native Negro population was made public here Tuesday. Mr. Rockefeller has for some time been interested in the work of the Y. M. C. A. in South Africa and his gift toward the erection of a building was made after careful study and investigation in the work in Africa be said: "This work has now reached a stage which justified considering the erection of a headquarters building to serve as a center for the training of Negro students for services of the native population." The work in South Africa is being conducted at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. under the auspices of the National Association of Black Students in the United States. Mr. Yrgen has been at his post for a number of years and grown steadily and rapidly. The proposed building will be the center for the training of South Africa as well as a social training center for the students of the college located at Alto, Cape Provinces. DUKE UNIVERSITY HEARS KITTRELL/ QUARTETTE SING Kittrell, N.

The quartet is under the supervision of Mr. G. A. Edwards, the director of the lege. The singers were accompanied by Acting Dean Edwin D. Johnson, the prominent members of Duke's faculty.

The case has created a political force in Virginia, two officers, Commonwealth Attorney George P. Whitley and Sheffield William Holmes Chapman having been defeated for reduction on the ground that they removed a wrongful conviction and thus prevented a threatened lynching. Winnigan is charged with criminal assault and murder of a 14-year old white girl, following his release under bond after having been convicted of outstanding persons. The jury conviction of the Negro is unlawful and his execution is better contested on the ground that he removed a wrongful conviction and thus prevented a outstanding person in the various cities of Virginia, to commit an act of murder being set for January 25, 1988. The case has brought sharp criticism with mental defectives, a white editor declaring, "In so far as the case is professional and extra-legal setting at naught of the recommended acts of killing in an elementary duty both to a class of defectives that are entitled to protection and to the protection of title to protection against them.

Being good followers together, the white men played the violin and the black men played Williams in the same playful fashion. This caused a little scuffle Thursday morning, Lewis was at his home and saw Williams and the other white men coming towards him in danger, being rushed into the house and secured a gun to protect them. In danger, he and Lewis fired, killing Williams. A mob formed immediately, went to the house and fired Lewis, too late. The entire country is bequeathed, and if the Lewis family is caught there may be another lynchman.

Redmond, an "herb doctor" who was appointed by Chancellor Dale on November 19, have appealed the state to the state supreme court, naturally creates interest here among the medical fraternity, and has terminated by the supreme court the question, "What constitutes the practice of medicine?" Redmond's friends claimed that he cared for patients to his callers or patients that they take certain deceptions brewed by himself from herbs of his own selection, and that he did not charge for such advice, but left it to the patients he chose to buy the remedy. The health authorities claim that some herbs were bought from an Indian store and treated on beds and in bedpans. Redmond did make physical examinations and treat patients on beds and in bedpans.

There seems to be no question that Redmond's remedies are efficacious on the people around him of both race, but it would seem that it is not necessary to prescribe whether the patient choose to take it or not.

Twenty-five pounds of chopped alfalfa hay used as a supplement for yellow corn in a mixture of 50 pounds of tankage and 25 pounds of linseed meal are equally good if the pigs can be induced to consume enough of the unleaded pig fed on the ration of corn and tankage at the South Dakota station made an average daily gain of 132 pounds of tankage and linseed meal were fed with the corn and tankage, the average gain in these experiments there was a saving of sixteen pounds of feed for two pigs. There was also an advantage of 17 days in reaching the weight of two pigs, so that the pigs fed the linseed meal ration.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER KANSAS CITY NEGRO HOSPITAL SITUATION EVOKES CRITICISM; COLORED PHYSICIANS DEMOTED Kansas City, Mo.—(ANP)—“The Negro medical profession has stepped back twenty years in Kansas City,” was the opinion expressed by a leading medic of this city in discussing the appointment of white physicians and surgeons as chiefs of the various services at the Kansas City Hospital for Negroes, with the assistants being Negroes, by Dr. Ernest W. Cavenees, director of the city health department. This action on the part of the director of health has caused quite a stir in the medical profession and many have expressed their disapproval. The Kansas City Hospital for Negroes is one of the most important institutions of the country, and the fact that Negroes were in charge of the hospital did not only to the profession in Kansas, but of the entire nation. In 1924 through the decision of Mayor Albert I. Beach, Negro physicians on the staff of the hospital were promoted from assistants to chiefs of every service. Under the administration of Dr. C. Unthank as superintendent, much effective work was done. Negro physicians were also given the authority under the Negro physicians was lower than ever before in the forty years existence of the hospital under white chiefs of staff and white assistants. The advent of the commission form of government brought about several chiefs of the staff, according to information obtained by the appointment of the chiefs of the hospital in class-A group and to white chiefs by Dr. Cavenees. This change automatically jumps the white chiefs of the hospital in class-A group, and with the power to oust any chiefs not able to get on the “select Negro physician who is not satisfactory” simply because they are Near- Under the administration of colored physicians, the white members of the staff were as committed with no voting power. Now the whites have the voting power and while there might not be any additional changes during the administration, it is pointed out that a future administration would have the privilege of exercising over the Kansas City Medical Association became indignant over the situation and appointed a committee to ascertain the facts of the case. Durant sent out a circular letter to all newly appointed members and in the formation of this staff many of the strongest men of the profession have been denied the privilege of serving on the staff, while on the other hand it has been necessary to have the staff as high as four services in order to complete their staff even on paper.

We worry over the annual Christmas gift problem, but what about the Queen of Sheba who was obliged to decide upon suitable gifts for King Solomon and his seven hundred wives? Of course, these were not Christmas gifts, but, nevertheless, they were gifts—and they must please. So Queen Sheba loaded her camels with spices, gold and precious stones—and history asserts she found pleasure in the sight of the wise king. Human nature has not changed a great deal. Sweet smelling essences may have taken the place of spices in milady's heart, but gold and precious stones still reign supreme, while jewels, silver, cut glass—anything that adorns person or home—are acceptable gifts for both men and women. The gift that lasts is the gift that causes the recipient to think kindly most often of the giver. So purchase the lasting, dainty, handsome gift—not necessarily expensive—and you will choose wisely. Here are a few suggestions that may help to solve your problem this year: # For Her Bracelet Carving set Brooch Lingerie clasps Boudoir bag Candlesticks Ring Wrist watch # For Him Birthstone ring Fountain pen Book end Shaving set Cuffs Scalp Desk clock Watch Emblem chain Watch chain HOUSEHOLD HINTS In boiling fish, add lemon juice to the water; this helps to keep it whole and thus preserves flavor and nutrients. Incidentally, a few drops of lemon juice in the water in which old potatoes are cooking will keep them soft. To cook potatoes in the food chopper before grinding the sticky fruits, such as figs, raisins or grapes, use a grinder to clean and the food from sticking to the intestine. The food stove needs cleaning try a solution of vinegar and water. The air faucet failed? Try wiping it off with a damp cloth that has been wrong from a strong solution of salt and water.

WONDERFUL TRATIS OF THE AFRICAN: MENTALITY By Drunilla Dunjee Houston (For The Associated Negro Press) In our last article we were speaking of the rapid development of brain of the African of the Banana Zone. Their children are remarkably preoccupied with the children these children surpass white children until the age of adolescence, when the sutures begin to close and there is arrested brain development. Waits thinks that this arrestment springs from the fact that now being advanced against the Ethiopians of the New World. Let us examine this condition. It is not confined to people of Europe but also to people under certain condition we find this closing of the sutures of the brain. We have come across men and women adolescent. Adolescence is the age of youth, come across men and women, come across men and women, then the child of twelve or fourteen. Some scientists rate the Americas as the country where are certainly some very peculiar things that we do that show the absence of reason and judgement, i.e. As a race we should study out these psychological problems. Aryans around us seem in many ways to be degenerating. We, too, will do so, unless we make out a different program of daily life. Let us study for a while the people of the torrid zone, who largely show arrestment of brain growth at the age of fourteen. The people of the torrid zone are indolent to the last degree. In appearance they are fine looking, somewhat lighter than the more intelligent Negros of the Millet Zone north of them. It is out of this indolence that we may trace the deterioration of brain. When we are not alert and active then it is the senses that dominate us and as they develop they demand of us satisfaction of appetite. We are just now in an age that demands more ease, that leans heavily towards sense development and we see all around us the evidences of brain arrestment. We might learn the lesson of ceaseless activity for our children as best for them. We should insist that they be kept mentally alert, at the age of puberty. If this program is followed with the youth of any race the brain goes on and the brain gets the upper hand. The people of the Banana Zone because they may live on the banana and do not have to work in the city of the active tribes. Let us examine other characteristics that accrue to the Banana Zone without restraint. There is a demand for once a life among us today, to live in the Banana Zone people though passionate are lacking in true affection. They lack the courtesy of the city. They lack sympathy. It is these nations that are extremist cruel to both men and women. They are people of people to sacrifice accompanied by philanthropy turtles, until compiled to give up the practice *y* civilized nations. These people are destructive, notorious, will live to the expense of others. Their lives are full of shams, falsehood and cunning. Do they will live to the expense of lustful types around us? They are not honest, but will take whatever courage compared to thacker, more courage compared to thacker, more AMERICANS SPEND HUGE AMOUNT IN CHRISTMAS GIFTS More than a billion dollars will be spent by Americans on Christmas cheer and Christmas charities, John T. Flynn estimates in an article in the current issue of Collier's Weekly, that $124,220,000 will be spent on penalties for the nation. The round sum he arrives at, after careful research and inquiry, is $1,422,800,000 divided among these items: Christmas trees, $100,000,000; jewelry, $165,000,000; turkeys and other Christmas treats, $100,000,000; toys, $300,000,000; neckties, $100,000,000; employees' gifts and bonuses, $250,000,000; Santa Claus whiskers, $300,000; plum puddings, $75,000; Christmas charities, $250,000; 'Take, for instance, the simple item of whiskers for Santa Claus. Of course, you can also buy a pair of his ruddy cheeks. They have got to be made, and the single job of making enough of them keeps several factories employed the year 'round. I have not been able to get exact stats on how many runs to some $300,000 every year.' It is likewise disclosed that now 90% of the toys bought in America are made in China. Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson A HERITAGE OF FRIENDS No finer heritage can we leave our children than one of friends. When we must leave them behind—to the mercies of the world, it is comforting to feel that we have sown seeds of friendship that shall grow to ripen and flower for our children's good. We must remember the legacy of living friendship. The former may perish or be swept away in a night. At best, riches bring to the heir a harvest of coldness and jealousies. But from a legacy of friendship, we must courage and fold us in tenderness when our own life still by Gotham Officers Save Negro From Hungry Mobbists New York City—(ANP)—it took two detectives to rescue James Macley of 63 W. 9th Street from a mansing mob Monday night following a gun battle between Macay and Detective Harris and Moore, who had been summoned to place the man under arrest.

The Gobblers are reeling over the state, and, because of their overwhelming and decisive victories expected to give the Lions some real opposition, the squad has been going strong in recent games; although the showing in no home game has been as good as that on foreign gridron. The Gobblers have made the claim that the Lions will strike and hold the stride that has made them a terrestrial force. There is practically no list of injuries now, and it is predicted that those attaining different Llh teams on the gridron before the referee blows the final. The rooters club are putting forth special effort in order to be in shape to boost the boys on to victory, as well as to improve their performance. While the Gobblers have the record in some instances of having trounced their opponents by scores ranging from 10 to 15, they will find some real opposition at the Barr's Field game Saturday after PREACHER'S WIFE CALLED BY DEATH The funeral of Mrs. Lacie Simpson, wife of Rev.

A dogged defense, which was harder than iron when danger threatened, kept the champion Tuskegee elephant in cheek Saturday after a State Normal lacked the scoring power necessary to give them victory, their defensive play was enough to kill hopes of a Tuskegee win, and the local colored school left the field feeling well satisfied with the 0-9 draw. Fighters would crash their way close to the Hornets' goal line only to be stopped by the fighting Normalites. Stevenson failed to shine, and the Normal line must go the glory of the game. The game was really a feathered high school game, but out maintained. Stevenson of Tuskegee were conspicuous figures, but the duels were too close to them. The battle was almost a succession of punts, with the honors of the game lost. The horse which the Hornet quarter let loose were unimpressive, but he found his stride short and he held his own with There were few, if any, spectacular plays in this battle of keeping the other fellow from the door. Seldom did they get away with more accuracy than did the Normal eleven; instead trick planks by Tans and the other players, and on more than one occasion the would-be Tiger runner was downed for a considerable loss by the watchful defender. Flashy Playing In Second The second quarter saw the flashiest football of the game. A succession of intercepted passes kept interest in intense. Stevenson started the excitement by grabbing one of the Moore passes and getting away for 5 yards. Tuskegee, trying the air game, found the tables reversed as Moore broke into the picture and nabbed Stevenson's heave. Then Stevenson made his one long run when he nabbed Moore's heave and got away for 31 yards. The advantage gained was cut down by a 15-yard penalty for clipping inflicted on the Tigers. Except for this one flash, the first two periods found the ball eddying between midfield and the Hornets' ten-yard line. Tuskegee gained fairly consistently when there was little to be had by so doing, but the Normal team always managed to tighten up when there was danger of the last line being crossed. The ball remained in Normal's territory for the greater part of the first half. Tigers Show Sustained Drive The Tigers showed a .sustained drive in the third quarter, but it was short, after an exchange of balls which left the same as it had been before the kicking began, Tuskegee started a drive that first came in first downs in rapid succession. With Bailey and Stevenon doing most of the carrying the ball went from midfield to the goal line, the locals pulled themselves together and held like a rock. And then Tuskegee pulled one of their few successful forward passes of the game. Stevenon tossed the oval to P. Smith and the latter gained 20 yards before Tigers Held Again Bailey opened the fourth period with another first down for Tuskegee and then the air game was again successful, Stevenson being on the receiving end of Smith's pass. The play was good for a 25-yard gain. Things again looked bad for the Hornets as the ball was on their own 20-yard line, but as in previous instances the Hornets held. The game rocked along with both teams trying desperately to score. Tuskegee had another chance late in the quarter when the air game was worked again for another gain. This time Stevenson tossed it to L. Smith and although the oval went through the air for 25 or 30 yards, the actual gain was only about 5 yards. If State Normal had had any kind of an offense, they might have been king of the roost today. But as it was, they put their all into stopping Tuskegee and stop them they did. It was a magnificent exhibition of defensive playing. FOOTBALL! Cuero Gobblers vs Yates Lions SATURDAY, DEC. 17 Barr's Athletic Field Kick-off 2:30 P. M. ADMISSION: GENERAL . . . 50c Corsicana Wins From Texarkana In Hectic Game Texarkana, Tex.-Ark.—The Jackson High School Bearers of Corcissana, district interholescholastic football winners of North and Central Texas, clashed here last Friday afternoon at Logon Park, with the Texarkana High School Bearers of Corcissana, one of prettiest exhibitions ever witnessed in this section. The Bearers fought valiantly against the natural handicap of playing on foreign soil, coupled with a long, all-night ride; but despite these handicaps, Coach N. H. Pendleton's charges emerged with a victory. A march after the kick-off was a sure bid for a score, when the ball was received by the Bearers and went on to a celebration of the cession of first downs carried to Texarkana's 18-yard line when to Texarkana's 14-yard line of the remaining yardage only. It called back for a man being in motion. The setback coupled with the stunt of running was too great at such a moment. The battle was waged in all fury throughout the second and third quar During the third quarter, and then only, was Texarkana able to get in danger with a terrific tilt for a dangerous threat for a team that was fooled by the over-masterful line of the Bears. In the final quarter, the Bears taken from the field injured, the Bears rallied behind "Little" Ashley and won with sensational rushes through the heavy line of the Buffaloes. White also tightened and proved, then he got mad. Quince was too hot on liking in passes to which the Buffaloes relied, and he was not good enough. Quince was a period of whistle-blew. "Little" Hardee "stayed in there," as usual and was going strong when the final whistle blew. The Bears rose to the heights that can not be "surpassed," white ripped on the 16-yard sprint to the 12-yard line on the 1-3 run to lose the ball on the next down by a fumble. A bad punt by Dunbar and a cross-buck with White carrying the ball on the 16-yard line. Ashford ripped the line for thirteen yards of the distance and a cross-buck with White carrying the ball on the game Corsicana kept the ball in the enemy's territory and punted perimeter. Ended Corsicana 6, Texarkana 6. Atlanta Schools Battle Fiercely In Scoreless Tilt Atlanta Schools Battle Fiercely In Scoreless Tilt Atlanta, Ga.—By all odds the most brilliant game of football played by colored teams in Atlanta this year, was the game last Saturday between Atlanta University and Clark University to determine the championship of Georgia and the city of Atlanta. The game only required only feat and each expected to put the other down. In the first quarter each team made two first downs; Pierce, the star tackle, got his forearm broken and had to retire, to the great loss of Atlanta. Clark received one penalty of fifteen yards for holding and Atlanta received five yards for off-side play. The second quarter was still more lively. Clark attempted four passes, two of which failed and two were missed. The thirdbee for Atlanta. Clark made two first downs and Atlanta one. Clark made the penalty of fifteen yards for holding. The third quarter soaked Clark on the penalty of fifteen yards for a foul, and he forged a victory for the same reason. The first successful pass of the game was made for thirteen yards from Edward to Charles. The second attempt was captured by Clark, but a third from Wheedoe to McPherson in five attempts to pass, one of which was covered by Atlanta. The only goal in five attempts by McPherson for Atlanta. Everybody marveled because he left the game in the first half very gregoriously. The fourth quarter raised everybody in tiptoe and raised his hair on end. A fumbled kick gave Clark the ball on Atlanta's 7-yard line with four trials to put it over. Every one of the three plugs at Atlanta's line made Clark rebound for the loss of a yard. On a fourth trial she tried to kick from a placement which failed, and gave Atlanta the ball on her own 20-yard line, with only three or four minutes to play. During this quarter Atlanta attempted six passes, but neither side made a first down. A singular thing happened at the end, both sides cheered lastly, one because she had done so well and the other because she had saved herself, but which was which we leave you to say. If was the most brilliant game seen here this season, and rings the curtain down, showing that Atlanta has a big place on the football map of the country. Old Clothes Made New THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 WILEY WILDCATS WIN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP WILEY WILDCATS WIN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP Marshall, Tex.—It looks as though the battery of the rip-fire writers, whose contributions filled the columns of the college football season, have about spent the force of their high explosives and the work of gleaning from the wreckage of the college football season, have left the palgraine is left to the less spectacular and unambiguous narrator whose sole contribution is the substance of the story in somewhat connected form for the consumption of those who have a care for the histories. The curtain was formally raised upon the 1927 football season of the College Conference and thousand eyes expectant fans fell upon the raging Langton Lions lipped against the wall of the stadium on day for the Cats and their following: they with their host of sympathizers found comfort or cheer on day and day. And yet, out of that experience was born—no, not born, but recreated, the old Wiley spirit which never Coach Long and Manager Mason talked over the situation pretty seriously, for they knew how President Dogan and the Wiley backers were feeling and thinking. These two men decided there was only one hope: Wiley could recoup her lost prestige and restore her pristine glory if only she still possessed the fighting courage to meet and turn back the ravenous hordes that awaited her in the camps of the conference foes. Could this be done? They thought it could, but depended in the final analysis upon the spirit of the warriors who must actually do battle on foreign soil for the sake of the old school. Coach Long immediately called a council of war. The first question put to the men was: Are we downhearted? The reverberant echo from 28 husky throats still rings out against the resounding air-No! And the next question: Can we win the championship? Yes!! And the other: Will we win the championship? We will come back with the shield or on it," was the Spartan-like, concerted and vicorous reply. They knew they had to meet the Prairie View Panthers, the Sam Huston Dragons, the Paul Quinn Tigers, the romping Texas College Steers, and the deceptive Bishop Bears. They knew these teams were secretly glazing over the anticipated humiliation of the Wildcats at their hands; but they also knew that in their hearts they too had sworn to reestablish the Purple and White banner upon the high peak of glorious achievement. How well they kept their vows has been reported in chapters previously written. The Panthers pawed ferociously, but were subdued by a 7 to 2 fight in their own lair. The Dragons swarmed down upon the invading Cats at Lovinggood Field but were driven away by a 12 to 4 count. The Paul Quinn Tigers staged a terrific attack in which they succeeded in crossing the Wildcats' goal line once, something that had not been done before and was not done again; but they too went the way of the rest and were disposed of by a comfortable margin of 25 to 6. The romping Steers and tempted at sample but were easily corralled in a 64 to 0 round-up. In the meantime, the Cats' ancient and formidable rivals, the Bishop Bears, had lost everything but their maddening desire to mess up the Cats' championship prospects. Thanksgiving Day, on Wiley Field, 3000 enthusiastic football fans watched one of the greatest football games ever played, the Wildcats teams; and although the Bears failed to realize their fondest hope, they gave an exhibition of football that the country except the Wiley Wildcats. The Wildcats deserve the championship they have as gloriously won without a single defeat. Coach Long again bears the distinction of being the greatest general in the gridiron world." ARKANSAS SCHOOL LAUNCHES $600,000 BUILDING EFFORT Pine Bluff, Ark.—(PNS)—Decision by the Arkansas Supreme Court last week that the proposed $275,000 bond package for the normal and normal school for Negroes will mean that the $500,000 building program will begin immediately, according to an announcement by the board of trustees of the school.

Washburn from the Charlton-Pollard high from Beaumont, failed to make a single score on either side. The heavy rain, which is beginning to fall throughout the day, kept down the attendances but failed to dampen the more like sea-monsters than like humongous monsters, honors, and to the condition of the field, there were few attempts made by either team to execute any plays other than straight football. The Beaumont team, half succeed in putting over one successful forward pass, which put the team in a 2-1 victory yard line, but before the next scrimmage could be made, the gun was fired, announcing the end of the game, and after much diving and mud slashing, and after much diving and mud slashing, A. and T. Grid Team C.I.A.A. Champs; Had Great Eleven Greenbore, N. C. —(AMP)—A. T. College, Greenbore, N. C., have a successful football one of the most successful football in her history, holds the distinction of being the champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The team, ranked eleven is due to a powerful line a speedy and versatile backfield coaching on the part of coaches Byarm and Jewell. Hester, captain of the most valuable defensive men on the squad. Screener, the other end has distinguished himself repeatedly in college passages. Cokes, Kornergay, Miller, Lane and Wilson (in a formidable duel) compete to support Tatteron, the powerful center, whose skillful blocking accounted in great measure for A. & B. A. A. all-American guard for two years, is especially dangerous because In the backfield "Little Bit" Henderson, at quarter, assures excitement whenever he skirts around the end for a substantial gain. Henderson and Miller, who graduate this year, have played their last game for A & T. Faulk, the right halfback, is lightning personified, and his mate, "Bus" Coleman, another all-American colored association choice, can kick, run and pass with equal facility. Finally comes Lane, stellar fullback, whose line plunging, fleetness and tackling are remarkable. It was this team, supported by able substitutes, that came through the 1927 season with a record of seven victories and no defeats in the association games. The powerful Bluefield aggregation was the only one which defeated the Carolina champions. The summary shows that A & T. piled up 168 points to her opponents. LEADING TEXAS GRID PLAYERS RATED BY MOHR ( BY DEAN MOHR ) Team W. L. T. A.

The defensers made a bad game, but the defensers aided them in their conference race. Langton defeated both Wiley and Prairie View in pre-conference games. Sam Huson was to met the Oklahoma team, but through some misunderstanding failed to come to any agreement. Langton would have aided Sam Huson in material, which was only a remit of their 1926 undefeated championship team. These things noticeable about the S. A. C. is that the championship shield never remains at any school more than one year and the championship shield never remains at any school make a bad showing next season, as in the case of Bishop and Sam Hus- Wiley College, with a football team well-drilled in the fundamentals by Texas' greatest coach, Fred Long, won the championship without a single defeat, and only one tie. The Wild Cats end running attacks could not be stopped by any of the conference teams because of the perfect interference and team-play—a record of form from the preceding year, when team-play was sacrificed for individual play. They presented a stubborn defensive team which is shown in the fact that the conference teams made only 8 points against them. Prairie View College, coached by Jimmie Law, with the greatest manpower of any school in Texas, finished second in the race. The Panthers failed to show the expected punch at times when it was most needed. They were defeated by Wey and tied in their last game with Texas. Paul Quinn College, headed by Ray Sheppard, a former player, rose to its height on Thanksgiving Day, when apparently defeated by Sam Huston, they rallied in the second half and won 26-14. Sam Huston College, champions of 1928, failed to finish in the upper half. They were at their best in the game with Bishop, and from then on until the end of the season they were on the decline. The green team and many injuries of the veteran players had much to do with the showing of the crimson and cream team. Texas College, with English, a new coach, played good football at times, especially against Prairie View, Paul Quinn and Bishop. Bishop College failed to get out of the second half for the second season, possibly because they have a new coach. They vindicated themselves by holding the lowered Wiley team to a careless tie on Turkey Day. With Mumford, formerly of Wilberforce and Illinois, at the helm another year, Bishop should be a strong contender for the championship honors. The backs of the past season were not of the calibre of the previous season, although some of the same men were playing. As there was not any outstanding quarterback or fullback in the conference, I shall give a list of the best books. Scott of Wiley was one of the best ground gainers in the entire conference. He was a good man on interference and could skirt ends for substantial gains at all times. To pair with Scott, Owens of Sam Huston would be an ideal player, as he is a triple threat man. It would be another Grange-Britton combination with Owens in the role of Grange and Scott as Britton. Posey of Bishop, because of his brilliant playing against Wiley as well as his playing throughout the season, is given the third-backfield position as running mate to Scott and Owens. To round out this backfield, Marks of Prairie View would be the fourth member. Marks was one of the hardest hitting backs of the season. He was seldom stopped on line plays. Other good backs were Grant of Sam Huston, Reynolds of Wiley, Jap Turner of Prairie View and Wilson of Tess. There were three outstanding ends of the season: Livingston of Wiley, Gentry of Paul Quinn and Washington of Bishop. Livingston was the best of the group because of his all around ability. He could be called into the backfield to kick, interfere, or run with the ball. Gentry is very good on offense but did not show up on defense as Livston or Washington. Playing his first year, Russell and Sam Huston was out to establish a record in each of the six games played by the Dragons, the first time they were on the opposing line to block one or more punts, two of which resulted in safeties. His ability to break thru the opponents line ranks him as one of the best tackles of the season. Kinnon of Wiley, Kirvin of Paul Quinn or Calhoun of Wiley any of the three would make ideal mates for Russell at the tackle position. The leading guards are Redd of Wiley, who was the class of the con-ferers of Bishop. Price View and Roberts at Bishop. All three of these men were sterling defensive and of-fensive players. The pivot position was a toss-up between Briggs of Wiley and Askew of St. Louis, who curate passers, but Askew was handicapped by playing on the defense out of the line. They were at their best when they played Sustan Hinton because they realized the writer was looking for all-conference material.

Lesson for December 18 REVIEW: THE EARLY PROPHETS OF ISRAEL GOLDEN TEXT-God, who at sunrise times and in dwarfs manners spake in times past to the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken by PRIMARY TOPIC-What We Have JUNIOR TOPIC-Great Men and Great Teachings of the Quarter's Lessons INTERMEDIATE AND NENOR TOPIC-PROGRESS HOW PROGRESS PROBLEMS AND ADULT TOPIC-Mission of the Prophets. The method of review must always be determined by the genius of the teacher. It is important to have the particular grade in the school. For the adult classes three methods are suggested. 1. Biographical. The quarter six great prophets have been under review, namely, Elijah, Elisha, Amoos, Hosea, Haggal and Ishai. Assignments of these characters to represent the prophets of the week before so that they may come prepared to present the vital characteristics of these men. 2. Prophetic Messages to Modern Life. Assignments should be made the preceding Sunday so that the members of the class may come prepared to the lesson. The students of the prophets to the affair of modern life. The following questions may be considered as representative what application can be made of the prophets' teachings as te: (1) The land question in the United States, (2) the problem of capital and labor, (3) the problem of capital and labor, (4) light on the theological controversies of the present time, (5) a discussion of the cause of prohibition, (7) modern amusements, (8) modern church life. III. A Summary of Facts and Issues. Lenting for October 2. The basis of decision as between Baal and Jehovah was that the true God should answer by fire. The leading lesson is that accepted service in the supreme test, enabling men to come between God and heathen gods. Lesson for October 9. Elijah, who was brave before Baal, was able to defeat Jehovah by Jehovah's threat and run away. He failed at what had been his strong point. Lesson for October 16. Ahab escaped Nebuchadnei's vassalage and destroyed Nebuchadnei so that Ahab's petulant desire might be gratified. Judgment fell upon both Ahab and Jezebel. Lesson for October 23. A prophet is one who speaks forth God's message. When Isaiah had the vision of the Lord and was cleansed from sin, he was ready to go at the dawn. Lesson for October 30. Amos was called from the humble occupation of a shepherd and tradesman to fill the prophetic office. God sent him to the system of training for the supply of His workers for November 6. Though the nation had grievously sinned by worshiping idols, oppressing their fellow men and persecuting their people, God invited them to return to Him. Lesson for November 13. Isaac's apostasy was the result. In spite of their wickedness God loved them and pled with them to return unto Him. Isaiah pointed out the moral state of the people, exposing their ingratiate, stupidity, and inhibits of evil, and calling them to repent. Severely chastised them, their case was not hopeless. Lesson for November 4. Isaiah reminded Israel of God's peculiar favor under the figure of a favorite vineyard. He pointed out the need for a proper vineyard. The outstanding sins were oppression of the poor, drunkenness, proud self-conceit and persecution of justice. Through Isaiah's long ministry he was privileged to give counsel to servant Isaiah, who was the model of encouragement, sometimes of rebuke. To Abas he gave counsel of assurance, pointing to a day of deference to the Lord, and manuel. When Hezekh faced the crisis of invasion by the Assyrians, he insisted on the Lord and sent for Isaiah.

Zion, nor with the co-religionist of the M. E. Church, sometimes The C. M. E. Church, with over 300,000 members, was organized of members of the M. E.

Its organization move, however, had its incapacity in 1888 in the general conference of the M. E. Church, South, in New Orleans, being led on its beginning in Paline of the M. E. Church, South. Because of the peculiar birth of the church, from its beginning, it has had four almost unmountable obstacles from without and within, yet its line has tended to point out that it has been a child of Providence. From an humble beginning with only one church, during a little over fifty years, it has a record membership of nearly 400 more churches, a healthy growing constituency. There are now nine active bishops and the youngest of all (Bishop Isaac Koehler) are living bishop in the world. Because of the C. M. E. Church is laboring in branches of Protestantism, cultivating fields of missions, education in our own domestic field and in two foreign However, the African mission field is under the supervision of the M. E. Church, South. And while for nearly fifty years the C. M. E. Church was tied to only Southern soil, it is today planted in all sections of the East, North and West, where many of the best and most prosperous congregations are led by able, strong and competent ministerial and lay leadership. The C. M. E. Church owns and fosters ten of the best educational colleges for ministerial and teacher trained leadership; and one of these schools—Paine College, at Augusta, Georgia, is the oldest, and was founded and maintained by the connection for over forty years. However, the M. E. Church, South, placed in that school and kept there many white men and women of the best blood of the South to train the Negro youth in the highest Christian culture. Lane College, at Jackson, Tenn., founded by Bishop Isaac Lane, is an A-grade college, now doing work in its 46th year. This school has graduated in practically every profession of life, and is proud history that not one of its college graduates has ever been criminally convicted. This school, however, is heavily in debt, which its graduates and patrons cannot manage, so as to hold this college in its class.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1927 COMMISSION NEEDS REORGANIZING! Apropos of the agitation for a reorganization of the Houston Community Chest, and one or two other local welfare organizations, it appears to the Informer that, if this local agency, which has raised its quota every year since 1981, is poised to be renovated, most assuredly the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, particularly as it relates to the colored division, needs to be reorganized. As presently constituted, it is The Informer's honest and candid opinion that the local commission will never function as it should for many and obvious reasons. The Informer, with all due respect to the present colored chairman) needs a new chairman—a man truly representative of his race; intelligent, upstanding, reliable; a man in whom the colored citizens of this community have confidence and one who begets their respect and goodwill. It also strikes the Informer that the Houston commission is too large, cumbersome and unwieldy; for with practically 76 colored members, the Houston commission's section, any sane and sensible person can readily discern that it will be quite difficult for such a body to function. The last time we counted the names of the local commission on one of the printed letter-heads, we observed that about 30 white members of the Houston Commission; and, according to information imparted to this editor by certain colored members of the local body, the colored division has never been permitted to exercise its rights in selecting its own personnel, but without the colored division's knowledge or consent, names of colored members have been added to the roster of those who have been admitted. No such policy or modus operandi should be pursued in any deliberative or democratic body; and, furthermore, no man should be added to the membership or official personnel of the organizations for the firm which goes with such connections and contacts. When it comes to membership, the Houston commission has a much larger roster than the state organization. In fact, we doubt if the sectional organization, embracing the entire South, has been made to the state organization. At the outside, nine or eleven local citizens are enough to form and constitute the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation or any other local commission; and these members should be white and colored men and women who can confer and discuss interracial matters freely and frankly without reservation or deduction, the local feelings of the��While the Houston commission has accomplished a few worth-while things, we fear its work has been seriously hampered both by the unwieldy size of the local body and spot-light seeking propensities of one or two of the colored leaders. The activities of activities and operations of practically every local interracial commission in Texas and the South, and, if any such body has 75 or more members on its local roster, it has escaped our attention! Furthermore, we have also observed that Houston is one of the only few cities in America, claiming such an organization. Where it is the only division of the leader by an outstanding layman. The Informer has no fight to wage on our ministers or preachers, per se, but when they leave their pulpts and try to direct other affairs, we have noticed that they generally make a mighty sorry showing, and that most projects outside of the church which will be religious leader may to head up, usually die aborn. For suffer a long depth Before the Negro race had any trained and educated leaders in other fields of human endeavor, the minister was regarded as the best man to head and direct all racial or interracial activities; but a different situation exists today, and there are certain Negro leaders who have been called "Mining Houston." No man enlist nor secure any whole-souled support from even the members of their churches, to say nothing of the citizenship at large. It is really exasperating to behold some of our so-called "Negro leaders" swallowing gullibility and subserving to all types and species of leadership when superimposed by other races, and of the same leadership when out of the presence of out white group. Too many of us endeavor to carry water on both shoulders; to run with the hare and the hound; to play both ends against the middle. The Informer has no personal grudges against a single member on the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, white or black; but this paper is intensely interested in the successful functioning of this body, and we have reached the conclusion that, to do this, the local commission must be reorganized, revamped and reduced. This connection, there are many Houston Negroes—several holdings on the local interracial commission, who hold to the same opinion and belief as expressed by this paper, but they do not have the backbone, temerity and "nerve" to "speak out in meeting." Finally, the Informer fears that, as presently constituted and conducted, the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, as far as the colored end is concerned and involved, has about outworn forms of usefulness and that reorganization of the body is imperative! PRESIDENT TOUCHES "NEGRO QUESTION' In his annual message to congress last week, President Calvin Coolidge devoted a paragraph or two to the "eternal Negro question" and took the attitude that he thought that congress should "have the attitude of a civil war of lynch-law from the domain of the American commonwealth." Going a bit further, Mr. Coolidge complimented the Negro upon its progress and history in America since its emancipation. Coolidge also said that the president is being done at the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Some will contend that the president's advocacy of the emancipation to reduce or graduate molochy from the continuation of the repression was a political stroke of a partisan nature and The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper On the return trip, the right front casing was put out of commission by Houston, and the right rear casing was necessary to remove the damaged casing and inner tube, and to employ one of the four change necessitated considerable time, and left the bus without a spare tire on the rear. Finally this damaged casing, worn out by the heavy load of the bus, was in contact with the good casing, and on the rear, with seven or eight miles from Houston. The operator was forced to flag a passing truck and come to Houston and stop the shooters, who returned to the strand, and then abducted a white vehicle, warring on the runnering order as far as rear casings about 10 hrs., Friday, and reached Houston about 5:45 a.m., Saturday, or enduring no repair on the roof. Before leaving Wharton the good people of that community served the party, and they were party to an elegant reptation, to off the spread with hot chocolate and cookies, to eat the cake, to City people, as such, do not know how to make and bake this kind of cake, but they devised this cake, ever set such dessert before dinner; and the manner in which these desserts were devised this cake showed that good cake when they see and eat Numbered among the Hoontry party was Dr. B. J. Covington, local physician, who began his medical career over a year when he first was his first visit to his former home in or 10 years and satisfaction was great. It was really a home-coming for the doctor, and his many friends were devised to have him in their midst again. that the G. O. P. "faithfuls," white and black, will now herald to the Negro constitutive of the nation that, since a Republican president has assumed such an attitude (the enunciation supposedly being representative of his party) the Negro voters of the state have been the main supporters of the Republican party and support its various nominees in 1923. However much we might admire, laud and approve the reference in Mr. Coolidge's message to "outawalk" Judge Lynch and his lynchcraft loop, we must also bear in mind that there is a vast difference between platitudes and performances; between preachments and paler. In the question nor doubt the president's sincerity along this and other lines, as they especially relate to or affect the Negroes of the United States; but what has he done during his tenure of office, officially or personally, to help bring about a change in conditions as they relate to and affect black Americans. With segregation of and discrimination between employees being practiced in the various governmental departments at Washington since his induction into office, has President Coolidge, as chief executive of the nation, ever made definite his position along this line? Has he ever, by written or spoken word, placed his stamp of disapproval upon a pernicious policy which seeks to deny American citizens of their inenable and constitutional rights, right under the national capitol and just a few blocks from the White House? Despite the fine physical and mental alertness of young Negro men, neither the United States naval academy at Annapolis, nor the military school at West Point will admit or encourage Negroes to enter these governmental training schools and to defend the defenders and the defenders of American rights at home and abroad. If President Coolidge believed all which he said in his annual message about the Negro and what he is entitled to as an American citizen, The Informer would be interested in knowing his reaction to this exclusion edict, as far as the "colored brother" was concerned, two institutions owned and operated by our national government! After reading the president's able and masterly state paper and observing his humane stand in behalf of the American Negro, we could not help but wonder if he were really cognizant of the situation. We are not surprised that prevail right under his nose, and which he could relieve by presidential proclamation? Reformation, like charity, should begin at home—at the seat of the national government—and then spread abroad; and if he were really cognizant of the situation, the American Negro were prompted by patrolism rather than partisan policies, they should go a long way towards making and maintaining the United States a safer, sainer and better place for its Negro population. He should use as quality as citizens and get ready for the political battles of 1928; for when the black man learns how to use the ballot for his own protection and defense, he will enjoy and exercise a new type of Americanism and democracy. Here's hoping that every Negro man and woman in Texas will pay his or her poll tax or secure an exemption certificate by Jan. 1, 1928, and thus become qualified as full-fledged citizens and electors. NEGRO MURDERERS PROVED WHITE! With a 10-year penitentiary sentence having been imposed upon Mrs. Margaret Lillendahl and her paramour, Willis Beach, for the alleged slaying of the woman's aged doctor-husband, the judge and jury at Mays Landing, N. J., demonstrated that they were not credited with the written order that "two Negroes" slew husband and then outraged and robbed her. When the veterian physician was first killed and police officers began to scour the section for the perpetrators of the brutal crime, the widow was so insistent in her contention that the two "Negroes" were weighed against the written order that Negroes (isn't it funny how "strange Negroes" are always roaming around in some American community when some crime is committed and charged at the door of the Negro race?) were arrested and brought before the woman for identification. The woman was brought before the widow-murderer, she picked him out as one of the murders, stating that "he looked familiar around the eyes." Later on, when this same Negro was placed among other Negroes, the widow failed to identify him, and in reality picked out the woman. It was further charged in the press that the New Jersey Ku Klux Klan put forth herculean efforts to apprehend the guilty black culprits, and that even while the trial was being held and conclusive evidence was being adduced to show that the widow and her clandestine lion conspired to and really killed the aged Negroes, she was ultimately ferugically for more Negroes for Mrs. Lillendahl to "identify." If this crime had been laid at the door of "two Negroes" in some other sections of this country, especially by a white woman and white man, either two innocent Negroes would have been laid at the door of the gallows, or another would have been railroaded either to the gallows, electric chain or penitentiary! The outcome of the Lillendahl case and the fact that it was proven the shadow of a reasonable doubt or conjecture should demonstrate more, when some crimes should demonstrate more and more the necessity of delving into all alleged crimes before arresting and convicting persons on circumstantial evidence or manufactured evidence; while the verdict also points out the grave danger of mobocracy, of either the illegal or lawful types, when some crime is charged at the door "black, burly brute." HAS THE AVERAGE NEGRO ANT SENSE? "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: . . . how long will thou sleep. O guard? Wonder if will thou outfall of thy city. King Solomon, rated as the possessor of the most sagacious, penetrating and judicious mind in the annals of both sacred and secular history, uttered a command to the ant: "You shall not be in the actions of so many of our so-called and self-styled race leaders today, we are prompted to propound this query, "Has the average Ant nenise?!" We are prompted to propound that the ant is the first of all, those tiny insects are organized, and that they have a leader and a program; that they follow certain set rules and that they "carry on" for the best interests of every member of the ant family, not only for the ant, but for the ant family, because the means for their educational training, so to speak, but they also provide places where their young can find employment and earn a decent living after school. No ant, occupying an official position in the ant colony, would dare have his printing done in shops operated by persons not of the ant family, nor would he be able to teach the ant to engage in business and the trades. No ant, occupying an official position in the ant colony, would be able to hire the ant to splitting and dividing on every little issue; the ant being out their "race" for a paltry sum or just to be called a "good ant" by other insects; the act of preaching "race pride" and practicing race destruction and obstruction; the pumping,押泵, fussing food and water; the ant being out their "race" and activities which work to the detriment of the ant colony, can be located or discerned in the ant family. "Each for all and all for each," and with this as their unwritten slogan, these small insections put over an intelligent, sensible, constructive and far-reaching program. Together, they work together, attempting to desert each other nor to "panier" for some of insects. There is so much which can be said to the credit of the ant which can not be said truthfully to the credit of the average Negro, and particularly some of our 'true faces'. When will wilt then sleep, O stuggard? When will wilt then arise out of the sleep? Principal Banks Delivers Sunday Sermon To School Priarie View, Texas—Prof. W. R. Banks, principal of Prairie View R.

The principal chose the college Sunday morning, and spoke for one hour of nurses had been held by Prof. J. C. McMorries, chaplain, and Prof. Z. W. Among other things Principal Banks said were: "The functions of the primary function are to talk, the secondary function is to talk. The secondary function overshadows the primary function, and it is this function I shall mainly discuss. We have a power of the tongue. When we talk too much, we feel it ourselves. Inasmuch as the system of the system by examining the tongue, wise men can ted the state of mind by the activities of the "The race bears the stigma of talking too much. One who talks too much is dangerous. When employed in channels of usefulness, the tongue is one of the greatest things on earth. It can whisper words of cheer and comfort, lighten our hearts, and give us a new lease on life. On the other hand the evil tongue has torn families asunder and separated life-long friends. It matters not what we know, if we cannot bridle our tongues our lives will be failures. Well has it been said that wounds made by the sword will heal; but wounds made by the tongue can never heal." DICKSON APPEALS FOR CHILDREN AT EAST TEXAS HOME TO THE PUBLIC: I am appealing for the Dickson Colored Orphanage Industrial School located at Gliner, Texas.

THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) by this obstruction (the driver being unable to see it protruding from the front of the car). The inner tube were removed while at Wharton and the spare casing placed at Wharton. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings CONGRESS A (Continued from Page One) people have the remedies of protest agitation, further legislation, amendment and repeal. 3. We, therefore, deplore the dangerous policies of those time-serving political leaders of any party or section, who are disposed to compromise laws and constitutional provisions cannot be enforced because of the fact that a minority, even a powerful minority, is opposed to such laws and provisions. For, if the opposing party is not a minority, the active acts be not a mere minority, then such acts can and should be enforced. In a democratic-republican form of government there is no loitering or violation by the citizen or failure of enforcement by the administration or violation by the citizen or failure to enforce is betrayal to anarchy. Such tactics on the part of private individuals can be brought to bring the whole business of government into weakness and displease even among those for whose favor the laws are enforced.

If the foregoing is a true statement of the general principle of just government and sane state management, it should be that the 13th, 14th, 15, and 18th amendments to the constitution should be as honestly enforced as the 5th or 6th. For example, the 13th amendment is respect or repeal. To fragmently violate or neglect certain parts of the law is not statemanship; but it is compatible and even dangerous policies. Innyhow, I dun got my Krismus gift an is awlreddy warin it. Yeth thur, wun er my dauters in law dun sunt me er sute er close.

Similarly, the community of interests that obtains among our laws. When the rights of one citizen are wilfully violated by other citizens or shamely neglected by officers of the police, the state is least jeopardized. No informed citizen of American doubts that the administration of the states aims to limit unfair and does unfairly limit the number of Negro voters; but many other citizens do yet penetrated far enough into the matter to see that the unfair curtailment of the votes of white people, so that in some states where more than half a million citizens were not voting, a "rotten borough" decision with less than fifty thousand votes can. In the case of the people in America have a common interest in the sacredness and the security of the ballot and of all con Well, Gus, Mister Garvey, I mens Mister Marcus Garvey, is dun wint erway.

It is the same with the nature of freedom and liberty; either both races must have the freedom of expression and the liberty of action, or neither race can fully enjoy these blessings. We note with concern that in those parts of the country where the Negro is not free to express himself, the white man is also not free to express himself about the Negro. In such a society, even the so-called freest white man must conform in his expressions and overt acts toward the Negro and about the Negro, which is冶冶得力也。so something of liberalism and partying may be more likely on subjects that are alien to the "Negro question." Liberal and progressive ideas do not prosper in such communities. The human mind is a unit, or a unitary resultant at least, and it cannot be very narrow on the great issues of life in one direction and very liberal on the same issues when directed toward others; it cannot be a criminal for some and a saint for others. Oppressive discrimination is dangerous because it creates a type of mind which may no longer discriminate, but which will continue to oppress. The signers of this memory could, therefore, just as logical-ly, be reasonably addressed as the peal to the country in behalf of the freedom and liberty of the white American, which necessarily includes the freedom and liberty of the black American.

In this conviction and as patriot of the republic, we wish to register our allegiance to the party which declares an unwillingness or confesses an inability to enforce any part of the constitution can be violated, and that they so declare and confess, if they be not conscious enmenees of the constitution, are, at best, its unwillingness.
