FACTS ABOUT TEXAS
HOUSTON LEAST AGAIN!
DORCAS HOME
RACE RELATIONS SUNDAY
Since Texas, particularly Houston, is now in the eyes of the country as a result of landing the Democratic national convention in June; and, since residents of other states know that Texas is the only state Commonwealth and have conjured up all kinds of opinions and reached all manner of conclusions, we wish to publish some patent facts about Texas, viz:
Texas occupies all the continent of the Rocky Mountains except a small part set aside for the United States and Canada. Texas owns the north half of the Rocky Mountains, only a river in the world; also the only one, with the possible exception of the Trinity, which is navigable for pedestrians by all the land. Texas is bounded on the north by twenty-five or thirty states, and on the east by all the other lands, the world except the Pacific, and on the south by the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean, the milky way, and the sidereal universe. If Texas were chopped loose into the Pacific and the Pandhane, it would float out into the ocean, for it rests upon a vast subterranean
"Texas is so big that the people in Brownville call the Dallas, the El Paso, the El Paso sneer at the citizens of Texarkana as being made of the effervescent El Paso to Texarkana than it is from Chicago to Dallas. Min尔姆 than it is to Brownville, Texas. The United States with Texas, the United States with the legged-Boston terrier. The chief occupation of the people of Texas is trying to make all the men in the world a pursuit of the Texan was formerly Mexican, and buyers, and buyers, the Texas crop resumes.
"Texans are so proud of Texas that they cannot sleep at night. If they don't sleep at night, they will be found on the map of the state would be found on his brain. Unless your front gate at an leas oopten miles from your front door, you will be found on your house back, so that she won't be annoyed by the passing automobiles. Texas has mountain ranges and rivers on their ranches. One Texan has forty miles of navigable river on his farm, and Texas were the same as in Illinois, the value of Texas' crops would be higher than in other states combined. Texas has enough land to supply every man, woman and child, and 520 feet and still hard enough left over for the armies of the world to march around the border of Texas, alfalfa which, if baked and built into a stairway, would reach to the nearly gates. If all the hops in Texas were the same as in the Gulf of Mexico, one hind foot in the Hudson Bay, with his horn in the mouth, would make his tail brush off the mists from the Aurora Borealis."
It seems to be a habit for "Heavenly Houston" to lead other aspiring Texas cities along all lines, and once this city leads all cities in Texas, the governments made as a prerequisite for voting in the conventions and elections of 1928. (We hope in Antelope "don't哭 hurt") With poll tax payments and expenses in taxes of 85,000, Harris County and Houston not only led all Texas counties and cities, but established a new Texas county-city税收 system.
While no figures are yet available to show how many colored citizens have been recruited from franchise right during 1928, judging from activity along this line by our people, all previous marks will be broken. Having qualified in such large numbers as citizens, it is to be hoped that these citizens will manifest the same interest in voting during the Continued on Page Five)

N.A.A.C.P. Secretary Confers With Solon; Investigation Proposed
New York City—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has conferred with Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts on the resolution calling for an investigation of disfranchisement of the Negro in Southern states.

On his return from Washington, Mr. Johnson said: "Colored citizens have the opportunity of expressing themselves to their representatives in congress on the resolution which Mr. Tinkham, his introduced and will fight for. It is House Resolution No. 34, and provides for an investigation by the committee on the resolution."

COHEN PRIMARY BRINGS PROTEST FROM GOP GROUP
New Orleans, LA.—(AAN)—Protest against the primary election held in New Orleans on Tuesday, the public party headed by Walter L. Cohen and against the meeting of the Republican state central committee, which has been filled with the election, has been filed with the secretary of state on the ground of illegal action. The secretary of state had ridden against a regular primary because the state legislature had not appointed for the legislature or senate in the field. The Cohen faction, however, has been active in the New Orleans and East Baton Rouge and ascension parishes, claiming as a result that they had elected fifteen candidates. Those who signed the protest are Emile Kunts, M. E. Norman, W. W. Rowe, and G. G. Rigues, G. G. Nehanser, H. G. Dhali, L. W. O'Hamer, J. Caire and Victor Loliel, all members of the regiment of the "blue-liable" view.

Memphis, Tennessee—According to state bank examiners, who have been in charge of affairs at the insolvent Praternal and Solvent Bank and Trust Company, which closed its doors December 29, 1927, of the number of over one-half million dollars.
In their report made public here recent week, the bank examiners claim that the bank amounted to $51,844,644, and estimated that depositors would not be more than 15 per cent of their money.
In addition to the criminal shortage, there are overdrafts of $55,496. Loans and discounts amount to $80,164, but they are said to be a past due and of doubtful value.
Many Bonds Worthless
Stocks and bonds, amounting to $50,166, are valueless. The two bank builders depositors will not realize a cent on them.
Deposits totaled $1,400,965. About the only assets are $1,500 worth of furniture and fixtures, a few good books, and $1,000,000 signed by directors of the bank.
State Bank Examiners I. H. Willis have compiled an inventory of 500 pages as the result of their intensive weeks. It is said to be the most thorough bank audit ever made by the bank. Deposits involved 10,000 pass books and 8,000 school saving accounts. At one time the clerks were employed during the audit.
Four Bankers Arrested
Four of the bank's officers have been arrested since it closed. A. F. Perry, assistant cashier and E. J. Raspberry, teller, are charged with embezzlement. J. E. Walker, vice-president, is charged with grand larceny.

OPPOSE PLACING NEGRO HOSPITAL AS WHITE'S WING
St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—A resolution opposing any effort through repercussions measures and new legislation by the board of aldermen to locate the board of the City Hospital No. 1, for its supervision in connection with and under the supervision of City Hospital No. 1, for its important legislation that was passed a recent meeting of the Association of American hospitals for serious members of the race here. Such a measure, in inherently permissive, would deny the Negro race the right to the hospital; would locate the hospital far away from the people it must be cared for; would urge of a large majority of the people to be benefited by such a hospital."
Mayor Victor J. Miller has declared that he would not sign any approvals to the city's plans to grow unless the institution would be adjacent to the City Hospital for white-colored citizens have stubbornly planned the plan to have the new hospital adjacent to the institution in the city, among the sections they aver that such location is desired by the city officials for white-colored patients having it convenient for the white-colored schools, in order that colored patients could serve as experimental material.
Hospital An Urgent Need
When Negroes were advised to support a bond issue program during the Civil War, they did so with unusual enthusiasm, because one of the items of the body's hospital for colored people. It was understood that for the bond issue erection of the capital would be among the first things on the program to be carried out and that the bond issue erection on a site at Goode and St. Ferdinand avenues, convenient to serve the bells, would be approved by approving the bond issue movement, when again, nothing has been done until early next year.
City Hospital No. 2, that is used for colored people, is an outrage and disgrace, and should be closed as soon as possible. Haven Emerson, white, of New York City in an address here several years ago, wrote that his mercer. His criticism was based on the findings of a survey conducted here by the American Public Health Association.

The recent failure of the bank in the Negaqua crisis has off-roared assertion that the Negaqua race is not yet prepared for big business. This unfortunate incident has shaken confidence in Negro business and seems to call for碧ereflection and frank counsel to the board. Holding statements may be hushed and greater cohesion secured among the active members of the people who are macking us unsupported charges to the Negro business not stopped to realize that bank race and that more Negro money has been lost in white bank failure. Nor do they realize that the percentage of Negro bank failures does not compare unfavorably with the bank.

"Since then fifteen of the twenty-one colored clerks filed a protest against the appeal for relief, placing a copy in the hands of Governor Spry, the commissioner, this was nearly two months ago, and none of us has heard from you.

To us, this seems like pronounced discrimination in public time and funds and even studies. Miss McRae has a leader in the fight against segregation, herself self-identifying as a clerk to the petition against their segregation.

HOW TO CATCH
COLDS BEFORE
THEY CATCH YOU
Common-sense rules for the treatment of the no-called common cold are given in the current issue of Collier's Ward. R. F. Waddell, a celebrated doctor, wrote in the first place, she says, "the word 'cold' is very misleading. The nose is the most important start in the mucous membrane of the nose. It is its valiant effort to combat the cold, and generally, mucus... reflects which results in a violent expulsion of air and, generally, mucus." The response to it has been to shut windows, close doors, put on more clothing, and keep the nose only an attempt on the part of the nose to get rid of germs. It is not only a foreign body, but not only in the nose but on the surface of the face at different points, and even in some cases, it may be relieved by light or strain. Therefore, a lot of our precautions are pointless. If the nose is most people can tell it by the accompanying dryness and irritation of the nose. The medical name for a cold would never do as a popular substitute. It is acute coryza, not a very descriptive
Before proceeding to lay down the table, the victim should and should not be Wardworth gives a word of warning: "Ordinary coronary, characterized by sneezing, coughing, and chilly sensations," she declares, "in most infections in the early stages, that the victim should NOT do, in common decency and out of respect for the victim." He should not sleep in the same room with anyone else, nor in a communicating room with the door open. He should shake hands as little as possible. He should not spend any length of time in a closed room with other people. Many colds are spread by the touch of a hand, or by an evening of bridge or poker. He should not—and this is a very elementary rule—drink from a glass of water. This rule concerns food handlers such as cooks and restaurant workers, over the course of a day, active supervision in some场合. Dr. Wardworth continues with the things a cold sufferer SHOULD do: He should always keep a hand when he coughs or sneezes.
2. He should treat his used handkerchiefs as infected material and keep them away from children and are hindered. Ideally, handkerchiefs used during a course of coryza should be paper, disposed of by burning.
3. He should refuse social engagement.
4. He should keep away from children conscientiously.
The following rules are suggested for children regularly twice a day, preferably at an and at four in the afternoon. If at any time the thermometer reads more than 40 degrees, you should up your home treatment and see a doctor.

COLORED STARS RUINED FUTURE GERMAN STATES
New York City—(A N P)—When questioned as to why so few colored theoretical personages made their appearance and success in Berlin and other German cities, Herr Norbert of the leading booking agencies of the German conference with Al White, manager of the all-Southern collegiate football team, seeking a colored soccer team, "colored stars" have ruined their own future in Germany. They agree that success comes, instead of living up to the terms of their contract for the soccer success, instead of living up to the hold up the producers, embarrassing them by not going on. This has occurred several times to my knowledge, and I am not surprised to the raise until he was exposed. Refusal to deploy with depleted colored stars to the colored stars to go on according to their agreement. Now, the prices are so cheap, first-class colored stars to go on according to the raise.

I have been working on Loan Ala. building and loan associations would relieve the banks of much of this burden. I have been working on the statement of the People Building and Loan Association of Hampton, and I have been working on Loan Ala. association, a younger organization, and help more than one hundred and fifty families to purchase and pay for homes. The same is true of purgant who have a most successful building and loan association, which coordinates its activities with the successful Negro bank located there."

"I know how much I take in and I know how much I spend; and that's all the bookkeeping I need in my business. I n't no big department store man who needs a lot o' figures to tell me where I'm at." So spoke a colored retailer sometime since who, though doing a good business, apparently, in a favorable neighborhood, was a few short months after the interview from which the foregoing is quoted, closed out through bankruptcy proceeding.
The man wrote the fixtures in his store; had his location rented at a framer's figure and, at the time, had on his shelves an excellent and well assured stock of general merchandise. There had been no reduction in the earnings of his customers, nor had there been any loss of trade. The man had, during the life of his mercantile venture, acquired only a reasonable number of "bad bills" which in themselves could not have occasioned failure had there been no other contributing factors.
He "went brake" because of had management, pure and simple. He lost his business because he did not know the elements of the business he attempted to conduct. Not knowing, he had persisted in being too obstinate to seek knowledge and he paid the inevitable price.
Too many merchants in the first flush of success feel that they have some God-given faculty of being able to do without facts which other men have to learn before beginning business, or as they go along, never ceasing to learn more and more.
The man of which I was talking became a bankrupt because of "stickier" facts is the most direful one in the lexicon of a merchant. It is the father of the salesday, and the big reason for inventories, not annually, but every day.
To sell goods, one must first buy. Buying with intelligence is no knack. It is the use of native common sense associated with as much knowledge as the merchant can possibly acquire about what will sell in his store, and how quickly it can be disposed of at normal prices. Seasons come and go. Styles change. Customs and habits of people and of communities likewise change. Books and records of a store make up the history of its relations with customers in terms of dollars and cents. In these records one finds the story of what he buys, how much he buys and what he will pay for any particular line of goods. The careful merchant tries to avoid overbuying. He tries not to place in stock more goods of a particular sort than his customers will purchase.
The merchant who is not so careful finds himself with many odd lots of this, that, or the other thing that, because of the small quantities, or to make room for fresh stock, is constantly being pushed into obscure shelves and corners. These goods, the visible evidence of his overbuying, are easily hidden and, at the same time, one is hiding the capital that is tied up in such commodities.
Kept up indefinitely, it is but a matter of time until all of the original capital of the stock is stuck away. Each month and year, more and more of the merchant's money is being laid away to waste on a shelf, in a bin or basement, there to be forgotten until the goods have beebrush and without value.
Competition obliges one to "meet the market" in selling anything. The growing keenness of this competition between merchants has established very small margins of profit in all lines. One has to meet the prevailing price scale to sell much of anything, nowadays, anywhere.
Because of the slight margins one may take on any one sale, the turnover has become the important factor in obtaining profits. In different lines, one overcomes over from four to fifteen times per year, if interest is to be successful.
Don't be too proud to seek help. Don't let "stickers" kill your business when it may be prevented by so little effort to learn. And don't overlook the chance to learn more about business in general, and your own line in particular.
The government is an anxious to protect your business in peace as it is to protect the homes and liven of its citizens in time of war.

Orphanage Head Flays Baptists; Discusses Home
Rev. W. L. Dickson, superintendent of the Dickson Colored Orphan Home, has been visiting Wichita Falls, where he had been city this week, having just come from Wichita Falls, where he had been station. While in the city, the reverend had this to say regarding the orphanage, "We are generally the work of the orphanage needs money. There are 280 children on the campus, 2500 in the house, and 100 in the Monehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and yet the Negro Baptist cannot see the orphanage. We have more contracted for, and 8 children on the campus, for whose care and treatment tend $1500 per year, a matron $50 per month, making a total of $1800 per year. At Glmer we have 1180 acres of land, several buildings, a good school, a good domestic and art departments, and room enough for all the Negro orphan child homes. The Baptist of this state haven't enough sense to take advantage of and help support such an institution.
"It is high time that the Baptists of Texas awake from their sleep and learn the wisdom of the wishes of the slaves nor flowers, that we are not slaves nor flowers, and that we will not stand by, and see our slaves suffer. We must Worth F. Worth M. and L. College. The thinking element must arise and assume the responsibility of usurpers and bosses will be dehroned. If the Boone-Wilson regime can not raise the needed money, we must institute institutions and plants, let them step out of the way and well be raised money. The Baptists of this state will never endure nor support the present administration of the institution of Convention of Texas. That that's that!" Rev. Dickson also stated that it is time for Orphan House to accept no child in the institution who had living parishioners by the juvenile courts of the state.

year as they did in qualifying for the right to vote.
* * *
The retiring jury of Harris County, in submitting its report to the criminal district judge, recommended that the county-city elderly center the Doran Home for Delinquent Negro Girls, or abandon the social order.
Read what the grand jurors said about the institution which is trying to salvage and save wayward colored children, more than liabilities to their race and the social order:
"We found a nice little farm of children and the teachers, where they raise all kinds of vegetables for their own use and have some to gaze. We found a very inexpensive place to eat and everything about the premises neat and clean. They have a fairly nice kitchen and a large sleep, 2 of them, with sufficient beds by doubling on some of them. We found this cottage where all the water need to be carried in buckets from a shallow water 50 or 60 feet away, with within 100 feet of the shallow well is an overflow cesspool, which can smother the cottage and which can contain the water.
"For a kitchen, dining room and school room, there is an old appliance that is weatherproof and would burn like tinder. The upper floor is used as a table, the lower floor is used as a city outside door and when they hold school the tablets and chairs have to be carried up from the dining room furniture, not even a bench. They have no means of communication by special messenger, as their telephone has been out of order since county and city should make this place safe and sanitary or abolish it."
After reading the above report and noting the favorable report this week, the cerning institutions for boys and girls of the white race, it is really a municipal governments have not done more for this school than the grand jury report reveals. — of the white race — with all its years of freedom, liberty, civilization, culture, wealth, girl of its race, no suitable person of its race, no suitable person can show any sense or planable reason why the Negro race — just ennature, virgined and victimized by the same evils which beset and ennare girls should not have a similar institution.
It would be very unfortunate if the Dorcens come to a blasphemy and abolish the public arrows turned loose in the public either to "root or die." Here is a very grave matter which should be addressed by the local Negro leaders and pseudo-leaders; and, if Houston's Commission on Education in a Rip Van Winkle snooke, here is a fine chance for this organization to serve the Negro race, community and social family.
Sunday, February 12, 1928, has been designated by the Federal Council to address Negro Relation Sunday, and on this day it is suggested and urged that white and Negro pastors interchange public services and colored congregations and that colored church choirs sing to white congregations and that colored pastors be invited to address Negro meetings and that Negro speakers be invited to understanding to white audiences.
It is to be regretted that no serious effort is ever made in this city to address the needs of the conductor of this department has never understood why the House of Representatives never takes the lead in sponsoring the observance of "Race Relations" in the South, on the whole, are doing nothing to white Protestant churches in the South, on the whole, are doing nothing to racial prejudice and intolerance, and to usher in an era of interracial amity, goodwill and Christian faith without the violation of any social rules, sectional customs or usages, or the violation of the rights slaved and cause Southerners many nightmares and fears in the attempt to solution of race and perplexing problem.
After all is said and done, the attitude of the white man towards the black man, and vice versa, the doctrine espoused and taught by the Lowly Nazarene become the daily religion and when supposed Christian white men were taught the religious and educational careers where they are willing to believe in and practice the New Testament doctrine of God and brotherhood of man."

Marshall, Texas—President M.W. Dagan of Wiley College says because of the new emphasis being given education as it relates to the Negro in America—particularly in the South where the institutions are seeking to expand their scope and extend their activities. There is danger in the confusion of losing sight of the fact that some of the schools in this section have been active in extra-curricular affairs. The fact that Wiley led in molding sentiment in favor of organizing the first intercollegiate orational and athletic association in these parts back in the days when these activities were young and the institutions go largely responsible for the organization of the present Southwestern
The school has been adventurous in several fields; for several years have been involved in relatiosis through which data has been collected on the problem of lectureism on the race problem. This feature of the school's program has afforded opportunity to be in special groups of white students from such diverse backgrounds. Southern Diversity and similar groups at Wiley. Wiley is fostering a foundation of prohibition and the Negro white movement. The data base on the educational, economic and social effects which prohibition has had on the view of helping to crystallize a view of helping to crystallize a perpetuity of this social experiment.
President Dugan notes with a degree of pride the extra-classroom courses he has taught at Wiley have stimulated in other colleges in this section; and says, in proportion at the schools are able to respond to the diverse these broader aspects, they will respond in over-increasing numbers. The most important aspect of Wiley: during the last five years college enrollment has grown from 60 to 80 students and summer and semester school students. The total resident college enrollment the regular session of 26-27* was 325.
Under the new regulation of state department of education, Wiley will be permitted to certify persons doing certain prescribed courses for the summer school, and that the summer school will be largely increased because of this fact
Democrats Given Data About Texas By Railway Chief
Officers and state committee members attending the national Democrat conference in Houston, will have a驻 in Houston, June, will have a驻 in Houston, June, will have a brief, intensive idea of what Texas is when they invade the Lone Star State, at a rally in Houston, with part of H. R. Safford, executive vice president of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Mr. Safford has just mailed to each officer of the Democratic national committee and each member "all of us will be here." Mr. Safford is Rivian, a very elaborate booklet issued by the Missouri Pacific Railroad to the Texas resort and cities, as well as the valley of the Lower Rio Grande, another handsome piece of literature that will be a highlight of Valley. All these booklets reached the leaders of the Democratic party in every state before the end of Jan.
"Many of those attending the national Democratic convention in Houston, Mr. Safford said. "By sending them literature telling them something of the importance of interest they may see, all of which in done splendidly in the two booklets, they will be able to reach our state. In fact, if we can help put Texas before these books, we may be able to have what we have to offer them down here, they may come to Houston present information if they cannot without this advance information. We point and things of interest in Texas and are always glad to talk about the things we are all proud of."

Memphis Views Its Bank Ruins
By E. ISABELL YOUNG
(For The Associated Negro Prem) Memphis, Tenn.—It takes more than a single failure or even loss of faith in men' high in positions of public trust, to destroy the confidence of colored people in the ultimate success of their racial institutions. No better than the attitude of Memphis folk, now that the first shock of the Solvent debacle has passed.
Harry Pace Gives Views
Perhaps no clearer and succinct view of the situation has been exerted by Harry Piper's former Memphis and financial leader here.
"This calamity," said Mr. Pace, "as it appears, is similar to our own experience around us every day in the other race and which we ourselves are affected by." The calamity of the white race. There is a definite reason why this failure will do harm to the entire country. That is because we are so much too much. When anything happens to one of them, it becomes a national calamity instead of a local misfortune.
"On another occasion, the Memphis Savings Bank the largest savings bank in the country, counted 90% of the Negroes who had a bank account, failed through the bank's failure, and planted plantations in Cuba, and which resulted in almost a complete loss to the depositors. You rarely see a bank in Memphis that it occurred less than twenty years ago. But they will be talking to you about the fact that it should re-organize and even though everybody should be paid off in full, they will not. It will also mean that they will lose confidence in all Negro bankers, who enjoy a rather doubtful distinction of their kind, rob a bank over which the president, "The Apparent," too, that the Solvent itself, if this consolidation had not taken place would have stood

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1928
Research Bureau At Austin School Has Valuable Data
Austin, Texas. "The Bureau of Educational Research, one of the recent innovations at Samuel Huston College has compiled some rather interesting data to help students enroll in eleven institutions of higher learning for the race in Texas. The compilation shows an enrollment of 1,705 students of strickly black and white ethnicity as upst. 1,682 for the scholastic year 1925-26. A big majority of the students, as would be expected, were members of the first year college class. In this class 658 or more than 60% of the entire number were noted.
The four major or senior college, Prairie View, Wiley, Bishop, and Samuel Huston had 174, 175, 176, and 174 students, respectively. 544; Bishop, 316; Wiley, 314; Samuel Huston, 201. The two ranking students enrolled of 157, and Texas College with 121. Prairie View State College student group in the state, but the largest of any Negro school in the exception of enrollment of 157, and Texas College for the current year indicate that the two thousandth mark will be reached in 1927-28. University reports for the current year indicate that the two thousandth mark will be reached in 1927-28. Samuel Huston College, which smallest group of the senior students of college grade. The enrollment in at least two of the three has substantially increased. Interestingly the underlying causes of what sorts experts may form the overpopulation of these Negro colleges. It will be studied by the social background of these students by studying the educational level to which they have attained, the vocations of the parents together with their economic background to determine to what extent these students are recruited from urban or rural life. The findings of this investigation will be reported in the near future.
as it has stood through no many other events, and the men were ill-advised and took over the Fraternal before they knew what the real situation was. The men involved were men who came into the consolidation from the Fraternal and the Solvent men were not to be involved.
While the failure has brought Memphis citizens shame and sorrow, there is a force made to re-establish the bank, nor lack of confidence in the possibility of integrity who will make competent heads for the new institution.
Sciatica Pain and Misery Relieved Quickly
Red Cross Kidney Plaster Acts Almost Like Magic
You can knail almost instantly the sharp, shooting pains and dull aches of the knees. The plaster is elemiatic trebles with Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. The plaster is applied over the aching part it brings relief—warm, soothes and relieves the pain and the mildness almost at once.

The South Bars An Illinois Senator
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
(For the Associated Negro Press)
Frank L. Smith, regularly elected senator from Illinois, was barred from the South, which was d-minated by "gentlemen from the South." It's a grim joke for the Southern senators to be voting against any other senators on account of "corruption," when声望 lowly elected by means of the most immoral disfranchisement of both white and black citizens. A senator from a Southern state, for example, which ought to enroll nearly one million voters in a grass by a little reten-borough vote of less than 50,000, and has the nerve to vote to bar a man who was sent by an Illinois vote of 800,000 in an election that polled 1,000,000 polled for both the Southern senator and that Southern senator's opponent. Nearly as many free and untrumpled voted were cast in the Illinois election as were cast to elect a Southern delegation in congress.
There is a menace to all minorities in this action against Smith: Social-

inta, Jews, Catholics, or Negroes could be excluded from the senate, however lawfully elected by their constituency, if a mere majority of senators be persuaded or hired to vote against them.
Of course, the law gives the senate the right to judge the qualifications of its own members, but that judgment ought never to be allowed to override the laws of the state that elected the representative. If the election were conducted, or to the state's regularity of the election (not as to the moral judgment of the electors), then the senate authority would, in such a case, be needed to exercise judgment and to make a decision, and the constitution should authorize, in such a case, to the law-making body rather than to the courts or the executive. No contemplated by the senate, the people's choice should ever be unmeted by the other representatives of other constituent bodies. The election of Smith was by a majority of more than 100,000. His excess was bigger than the whole population, whose senators voted to bar him. There is much lens of menility to happiness in allowing the people to choose, rather than in denying their right to choose their own representative. And there would have made a bad representative.
It will be bad policy for the people of the United States to allow this kind of semblance to stand. The people, not their senators, should be the primal power in this republic.

EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT _
‘The editor of The Informer (please pardon this personal ref-

treduating case of the Booker T. Washingion ‘High Scheel
held in Auditorium of Pilgrims” building, last Priday_ afternoon,
and our heart was touched with sympathy and tears almest led

‘The thought that made us grow emotional was the fact that
we are educating, and training’ our children ‘Uy the" thoesamds
Every year, and are not making places for’ them ty the tens,
even!
Unless the Negro race learns and practices a litle bit of com
ron sense and gins to make places for ita youths, we will do
better if we cose the doors to cur various Insitutions of Beare
ing: for we donot need high schools, colleges and wniversitis
{iran children for careers of idleness and to serve as sna
find lackey where litte, if any, educational training is required
We have often remarked about the inconsistency of Negro
parents, who will expend large sums of money for’ the educa
ation of their children (which is meet snd Proper), snd then
‘on the other hand, will not spend or invest one pemay i amg
ype of racal enterprise or business venture. to ‘afford decest
She erative employment to their own feah and blood.
o We have very little patience with the Negro who sits around
‘and whines and complains because men in ther races. wil mot
force their own children and race out of” employment Ter the
tenet of Negro children.

THIS SECTIONAL NULLIFICATION!
Judging from editorial comment in some of our Dixie daily
newspapers, the recent conference of the ‘Federal Counc of
Gharches in Christ—which became deadlocked when Negro dele
zxtes and some of the more liberally-minded white messengers
insisted that, if the meeting were to go on record as favoring
the strict enforcement of the eighteenth (prohibition) amend:
sent to the United.States constitution, it should also urge the
enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the
same federal constitution—commilted a grave error, when its
leaders permitted the endorsement of the suffrage amendments
to be injected into the discussion and resolution regarding. the

‘The nullification and circumvention of these so-alled Civil
