RICHARDSON **** 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) THE HOUSTON INFORMER Local YWCA Executive Secretary Loaned To Dallas To Start Branch N.A.A.C.P.

Otis B. Duncan, outstanding officer of the Eighth Illinois National Guard, the only complete Negro militia regiment in the country, was offered a detail upon the war department general staff at Washington last week. Acting upon direct orders of Gov. error Len Small, who has always taken an active interest of the "8th," Adjustant General C. E. Black notified Col. Duncan that the governor was ready to present his name to the war department. The important of representing the state in this capacity which would include close contact with the plans being developed by the military arm of the nation, is said to be one of the highest which can come to a militia officer. Few national guard officers can qualify, since the reserve corps standing, war experience and various other requirements are considered. A salary of $500 per month for the time of the detail, usually one year, and liberal allowances are said to be the most important. Col. Duncan refused the honor, advising that "it would be impossible for him to leave his interests in the state of Illinois for the length of time required by the detail." The colonel, who won the Croix de Guerre as a result of gallantry during the war war, has served as commanding officer of the regiment since its return from France. He is the school of the first colored family to settle in Illinois. Eight generations of his and his children, including his 200 years before the charter of the state was issued.

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.

ROBERT RUSSA MOTON Tukkee Inst., Ala., Jan. 28-28 To Securities of Local Business Business, Greetings: 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.

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. 5. Stay in bed for the first twenty-four hours, and it is very probable that the second twenty-four will be hours of convalescence. 6. Drink all the water you can to keep a juice of juice of the third to a part of it. Fourth: Take a mild cathartic whether you think you need it or not. Fifth: Do not take depressant drugs. If you have a headache, it is probable that you have a temperature and should not be treating yourself. If you have a headache without temporary குறைவு, do not post aல், such as aspirin, phenacetin and acetanilid, are the last things you need. Try rest instead. Your head achrobably comes from the eyes. Therefore do not read all day while you stay in bed. Sixth: Spend your hours of rest in the sunlight while possible and in a room with the windows open. Seventh: When the acute stages are past exert yourself very little for at least three days. Relapses are frequent. To be successful, any treatment of a little to be early. People wait until the infection is well grounded, and then expect the doctor to eradicate it. “If you do your part by keeping up your sleep, your diet, your exercise and your recreation, cold germs will not attack you,” concludes this eminent physician. To this there is one exception, and that is, “provided you do not meet a strong train of them by associating with someone who has already been a them a chance to strengthen themselves by allowing himself to get a ‘cold’.” BROADWAY WILL VIEW PLAYS BY NEGRO AUTHORS New York City.—(ANP)—Broadway will see two plays written by Negroes in the near future, according to announcement made here Monday.

The second play written by a Negro is "Meek Moge" by Frank Wilson, who plays the "Porgy" title role. This production will be staged at the Princess Theater, February 6. 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.

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. Every article in the store must do its share toward making the year a success by being sold and replaced a half dozen, or more, times during the year. Any goods that do not move the minimum number of times warranted by the experience of given business is what, in war times, was called the "good man." So, under the order of the store, the business of the business must go. One can't blame the inert merchandise. The owner and manager must do the thinking, and must see that every commodity moves; or that the further purchase of such slow moving goods is restricted. This requires that one know his stock, know his community tastes and needs, and its willingness to buy and pay for every article handled. It is too much to expect one to remember all of these things in detail. Therefore, the store has to be a very good thing to be held upon as the certain barometer of the business must be relied upon as the certain barometer of the business. One must know how to analyze and interpret the meaning of these figures; and if one has not had the benefit of a commercial education, it is obvious that help should be sought in the printed stories of the experiences of others and of the business world in general. Nowhere in the world is there such a supply of information for making as in this land of others. There are few trade secrets here. Great or on the other side of the world is the research studies we made available to all the essential knowledge of business. One has but to want it sincerely enough to seek it. In the library of the Domestic Commerce Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at Washington, D. C., there is a collection of nearly fifteen thousand publications upon business, and into this great volume of information an inquiry division at the service of the citizens of the country is in constant readiness to delve for an answer to the questions of the public. It is precisely like a snow coming that prevails for asking a corner bollerman the way to a particular street. 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.

Seeing Jesus Through Other Orphanage Head Flays Baptists; Discusses Home 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.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER (Continued from Page One) 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."

WILDCAT CAGERS DEVOUR BEARS IN CLOSE BATTLE Marshall, Texas, Feb. 3, 1928 Staging a desperate last minute rally, the Wiley Wildcats beat the Bishop Bears in one of the most thrilling basketball games seen in Marshall, by the score of 33-31. A capacity crowd, that filled every nook and corner of the Wiley refectionary cheered their favorites, as first one and then the other of the ancient rivals took the lead in a thrilling see-saw game. Wiley started with a rush and piled up a commanding lead, but a great spurt by the Bears put them out in front with a 26-22 lead at the half. The fans who saw a fast first-half were yet to see the real battle, as the longer the game went, the faster became the pace, and the guarding of both teams was superb. With five minutes to play, Bishop maintained a 28-26 lead. Pretty team-work gave Richmond an opportunity to tie the count 28-all, only to have Washington break loose with a pretty pivoting shot from a corner to put Bishop in the end 30-28 with two minutes to play. Long shots from mid-field by Fainie and Miller put the Cats out in front to stay, and Richmond added a free throw for Wiley and a free toss for Bishop. "Buster" Washington of the Bishop Bears, was high point man of the game. He led the charges of Coach Mumford in grand style and played the game of his life, sinking seven field goals and scoring the Wildcat attack with five from the field and from the fifteen College here next Friday night.

PAGE SIX 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." SOUTHERN "LILY-WHITES SEEK TO OUST BLACKS Jackson, Miss.—(A N P)—Republicans representing eight congressional districts are a "lily-white" movement under the leadership of former Governor George W.

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 MARCELLO The hair's only master.

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.

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.

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.

DALLAS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1928 EDUCATION SEEN AS SOLUTION OF RACE ANTIPATHY Birmingham, Ala. — (A N P) — Education was declared to be the solution of racial misunderstanding and prejudice by the representative at the Alabama State Interracial Committee which met here Tuesday in Birmingham to discuss the practicality every speaker gave as his opinion that "more can be done from the school desk and through the school children in solving our current difficulties than through any other source," and that "whites as well as Negroes must be educated toward this objective." The committee indicated that the committee had striven hard during the year 1927 to promote a better understanding between the races; to discourage lynching, to secure justice in the courts for Negroes and to fight food sufficiency in the Mississippi flood. While the body did not discuss politics, opinions expressed on the outside show that Negroes in the section are becoming more interested in politics. G. O.

Melyvin national Negro Press Association, was present and in the "unofficial sessions" promoted the candidacy of Lowden, former governor of Illinois.

L. Jesus Praising the Guest of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:34, 70) The aftereffect of the voice of the Baptist was stilled because of his impulsion. Jesus took up the message that the gospel was the gospel of the kingdom of God. Since "gospel" means "good news, the good news which he had come to establish His kingdom. He said, "Repent for the kingdom is at hand." The King was then ready to set up his Kingdom if the Jews would receive Him. II. Jesus Pictures Four Closes of Hearers (Mark 4:1-29) 1 The place the sesquip. - v. 13 2 He was obliged to enter a host in 2 Why He tauctil in parallels (v. 9-12) 3 Not until the rules and set thems has been弘 Him that he enployed the parallelic method. 3. The parable of the four kinds of ground (v. 2.8-11:20). Observe that the seed and the soil are the same, but the results are entirely different, determined by the condition of the soil. (1) The Wayide (v. 14, 12). The wayide means the trunk beaten by the boots of animals and the feet of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the seed could not get beneath the surface, which represent the agents of Satan (v. 15). (2) The stony ground (v. 5, 6, 18, 19). Silty ground means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such conditions the seed springs up quickly and is soon searched because it has not much depth. (3) The thorny ground (v. 7, 8, 19). In this case the ground is good, but has thorns in it. It is mellow and soft, but it is not the ground of the thorns. The thorny ground grounders of age are: (a) Those who are no innumerable in worldliness, (b) Those who are good seed cannot mature; (b) those who are rich. The effect of riches is often to blind the spiritual perceptions of the world. The plenitude of life. All these things chose the Wort. (c) 8, 20. This ground of cefs from all the rest. It is soft and deep, and moist, therefore is capable of hiding in varying degrees of abundance. III. Jesus Picture the Growth of the Kingdom (Mark 4:13-34) The parable of the candle (v. 25-25). The bushel stands for the cares and material things of life, and the bed for ease and comfort. The house of the growing grain (v. 25-29). (1) The attitude of mind of the gospel presupposes (v. 38, 27). (2) The processes of the spiritual process (v. 28). In the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear* (2) The communion of the spiritual process (v. 28). Under which sowing is done, we can be assumed of a harvest time. 3. The parable of the mustard seed (v. 31). (1) The unimportant beginning (v. 31). 2. In vigorous growth (v. 32). 3. In the growth of the body that which had its inception in the preaching of the gospel. (6) Its lodging capacity (e. 32). The land which belongs to the branches represent the children of the evil one who find protection and food in that which was inaugurated by Jesus Christ. Worship God First worship God.

Capitol 3008; Preston 8115 FUNERAL DIRECTORS Houston, Texas PAGE SEVI The Houston Informer I am reminded of this title by the "Negro History Week," which Dr Carter G. Woodson has inaugurated of what we are now in the midst of. Several years ago Mrs. May Howard Jackson, the well-known sculptor, beamed out of me which it was hoped would be finally cast in bronze. She had a friend, the artist Francis J. Grinke, Dr. Dulloon, Hon. W. H. Lewis and other Negro celebrities. During the period of my sitting, foraging for white, visited the studio and seriously admired the artist to take them on an ash cart and dump them on an ash cart and dump them in the deepest sink in the Potomac to mould these colored likenesses, entrap whatever of art or genius his skill might be able to catch and preserve in his own likeness and in his life. He lived in the perdurability of the Negro, in his own likeness and in his life. He lived in the ex-colored cart, the preservation of the Negro form and features was believed that the Negro was shortly destined to be swallowed up in the white race and the sooner the better the Negro was to believe that his policy was wine. I happen to know the circumstances involved in a number of years as a Negro professional man and had married a number of years as a Negro having been bitten by the "color" bee be first put away his darksome help and then experienced every feature of physical and coial identity which tried to him to his mother's race. He sought lost I once knew a light-brown-skinned colored man to marry a perfectly white woman, though of colored parentage. By some strange sport of nature, all of the children inherited their color of the mother. The father died and was cremated. Alough his achievements had given the family its only claim to distinction, the suspicion prevailed among the knowing ones that the cremation was resorted to order to oblige all men to be the only one of the children's relation to the Negro race. I have in mind twin brothers of colored co-parentage. By the atavistic law, the one was born brown, the other white. They grew up in close intimacy with their father. The severe and insomnip�able until full maturity. It so happened that the darker of the twins possessed the finer intellectual and cultural qualities. The albicant brother seems to have inherited, not only the hair and eye, but the�ment and future indifference of his remote white ancestry. The two brothers became separated, for a period of several years. In the meantime the whiter one made up his mind to cross the divide for certain obvious advantages. The man and his son were not always upon returning to the city the brother of the brown skin found that his other fraternal half had crossed the line, married a white woman and shifted his social affiliations. Many a time did they meet on the street, and the men as they passed by the estrangement became deep, bitter and abiding.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1928 EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT The editor of The Informer (please pardon this personal reference) witnessed the class day program of the mid-winter graduating class of the Booker T. Washington High School, held in Auditorium of Pilgrims' building, last Friday afternoon, and our heart was touched with sympathy and tears almost filled our eyes when we beheld nearly 50 happy-eyed young people who were completing their high school course, with some planning to go off to college for additional educational training. The thought that made us grow emotional was the fact that we are educating and training our children by the thousands every year, and are not making places for them by the tens, even! Unless the Negro race learns and practices a little bit of community and begins to make places for its youths, we will do better if we close the doors to our various institutions of learning; for we do not need high schools, colleges and universities to train children for careers of idleness and to serve as menials and lackens where little, 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 education of their children for careers of idleness and to serve as menials and lackens where little, if any, educational training is required. We have very little patience with the Negro who sits around and whines and complains because men in other races will not force their own children and race out of employment for the benefit of Negro children. We have very little employment and given a chance to prove his mettle, such places must be provided by and through Negro brain, ingenuity, finance and cooperation! Really, it is postoperative to expect any man or race to neglect and refuse to provide for his own household, all the while caring for and providing for the households of other men and races and providing for the way in sensible commercial, business and mercantile circles. Too many Negroes have paraphrased the expression, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute," to read thus: "Millions for the education of our children, but not one penny or for enterprises to give our children employment after graduation." When other races see how we fall down miserably on this job of making provisions for our posterity; how we permit gold opportunities to slip by us; how we sit around and engage in our favorite vocation of singing our hymns of lamentations and blues; how we grab at the shadow and miss the substance of our own racial philology and prairie religion, which seems to be single-tracked; when they behold how we educate our children and then permit them to go to the "demision bow-wows" by refusing or failing to make places for them—little wonder is it that other races, which pursue an altogether different education and treat the Negro as a child and address us as "boys." As we sat at the aforementioned class day exercises and we buoyant expression written on the face of every graduate, we asked ourselves this question: Where will these young people and thousands of others find employment in keeping with their race? Why do we educate our children? Merely because other races educate their children? With us, is it a fad? An ailing after school? Do we see the need of educating our children? Have we ever stopped to consider that it is criminal to educate our children and then do nothing to save some avenue of employment for our own children? Why educate our children at all, if they are to spend years in public schools, colleges and universities and then return to their several homes and find employment of the most mental type and have the opportunity to work in a job. Now, mind you. The Informer is not against any type of labor, for work is honorable and we would rather see a young educated woman doing drudgery than selling her virtue and trafficking in her very soul; but no young woman needs a college education. Why? Because the job requires a lot of work. Any young woman who aspires for this type of domestic or industrial service, should take a course in vocational training. The same thing holds true with young educated men, many of whom are daily roaming our cities in futile quest of employment. They are not only the most educated people to find such, many of them finally resort to illegal and shady means of trying to eke out an existence by resorting to their wits and tricky deeds. Then, when these young educated people fall and bring reprimand, they discredit upon the race, many of us place the entire blame upon the erring youths, when, as a matter of fact, our dereliction in providing places of employment for them has been a very potent contribution towards their delinquency and criminality. And either make places for our children, or cease spending much money in trying to give them an education! America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper THIS SECTIONAL NULLIFICATION! Judging from editorial comment in some of our Dixie daily newspapers, the recent conference of the Federal Council of Churches in Christ—which became deadlocked when Negro delegates 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) amendment to the United-States constitution, it should also urge the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the same federal constitution—committed a grave error when its leaders permitted the endorsement of the suffrage amendments to be injected into the discussion and resolution regarding the prohibition issue. It appears that so many of the proponents of the prohibition amendment are rather shortsighted and inconsistent, contending with all the power at their command for the strict observance and enforcement of one constitutional amendment to the utter exclusion of others just as important, fundamental and far-reaching. The lawyer admits that neither the North nor East has the legal, moral or political right to nullify and disregard the eighteenth amendment to the national constitution; and by the same manner of reasoning, the South has neither the legal, moral nor political right to nullify and circumvent the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to this same constitution! The nullification and circumvention of these so-called Civil War suffrage amendments constitute just as much of a moral and legal violation of the ignoring and nullifying of the now celebrated and much discussed prohibition amendment. The Informer has repeatedly contended and insisted that as long as one section can nullify and ignore, with impunity, certain basic and constitutional provisions, such agitation and action will encourage and embolden other sections to nullify and maintain national laws which do not meet their sectional approbation. It is nonsense of the rankest type for any national, state, county or municipal government to enact and enforce laws and measures which meet the hearty endorsement of every person. Why, even some murderers hold to the opinion that the law is unreasonable, should they be allowed in cold blood; and, it is not unreasonable to suppose that many of these criminals reach such conclusions when they observe how lightly life is esteemed and with what ease minority groups can take the law into their own hands and do as they please with and upon certain American citizens! The law is unreasonable and other members of the looting gentry believe that they have as much right to ply their nefarious trade as hoc hounds, and moonshine makers and bootleggers; that if the federal law establishing prohibition is a "mere scrap of paper," and to be regarded and treated as a national joke, then the statutes seeking to define a criminal offense should be reactions of certain criminal laws, should be similarly regarded. The strict enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of this republic is just as important, imperative and essential as that of the eighteenth amendment, notwithstanding sectional resentment of and objection to such national provisions; and the American citizen, organization, publication or whatnot, that can not discern this patent fact, has never truly sensed the fundamental principles on which American ideals and institutions have been founded, viz: Popular government, respect for constituted authority, strict observance of the law by all citizens, impartial enforcement of all laws by law-enforcing agencies, and equality before the law for all citizens of the national commonwealth. If the republic is to survive and citizens respect the laws of the land, there can be neither double standard of constitutional enforcement nor of citizenship, and there must be no dissimilarity between the political morality of the several states in the union. SNORTING SOUTHERN SENATORS! Fearful that his Southern senatorial colleague from Alabama (Senator Thomas Heflin) would gobble up the calcium light in the big show now being held on Capitol Hill at Washington, D. C. Senator Cole Blease of South Carolina has vainly attempted to have the spotlight hurled on him, and to this end has introduced a bill to provide "jim-crow" street cars in the national capital—something on the order of Southern street cars, with markers separating the two races. The fiery solon from the Palmetto State has also introduced a measure to make the intermargery of races a federal offense, and to invoke the machinery of national government to maintain "white supremacy" and "keep the nigger" in his place." The governor has instructed Southern senators strut their stuff in the senate chambers. How happy the Nordic citizens of Alabama, South Carolina and other Dixie commonwealths must feel of "Hell-Hollerin'" Heflin and "Beefing Blurting" Please! Wouldn't those two "Bam bull-shooting boys" make a headliner on some vandeville circuit, particularly in certain Southern communities whose sentiments these blatant blasterkies repudiate? With Heflin fighting and anathematizing the Catholics; with Blease opposing, jim-crow and outlawing the Negroes; and with Swanson and Glass of Virginia upholding the Southern species of racial disfranchisement and class proscription, the U. S. senate should not suffer a dull or droll moment; and "100 per cent Americanism" should cover both the length and the republic as the "waters that, cover the deep." (Dialectible n.) If the South needed drastic legislation to keep the Negro out of politics and insure "white supremacy," judging from the calibre and cravings of some of our 'steemed Southern solons, both in our state and national law-making bodies, it appears as though we are not ready to accept such legislation, keep some of these prejudicial politicians and sulphuric swashbucklers from our legislative halls. As long as the South elects men to high office, whose greatest asset is their ability to fan the fires of racial antipathy and class distinction, this section might as well be prepared to be humiliated and stultified upon many and sundry occasions by oral outbursts and official accusations of the part of such narrow-mindedness in the political system. As long as Heffin belched forth his poison against the Negro race, the Southern spectators, supporters and sympathizers cheered and applauded him quite vociferously; but, when, encouraged by such applause and endorsement, the Alabama senator directed his venomous darts and senatorial tirades at the Catholics, these selfsame Southern supporters (for less a few years) were so outraged that Heffin upon Al Smith for his religious belief represents the sentiment and attitude of the majority of white Southerners) became rightely indignant and attempted to read "Uncle Tom" out of both the Democratic party and his sectional habitat. Let these Southern senators snort and raise unadulterated hades; for the law of compensation (balancing of accounts) in this case would have been able to defeat or fail this incoherent and immutable statute! Woe unto him who breathes out poison against his fellowman, for in the end he shall be destroyed by his own poison! Selah! OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings What Price Amalgamation?

I am reminded that at a national advanced group of Negro intelligence in the world, certain of the merrier spirits in fenticrous felicity advanced group of Negro intelligence. This occurred in a fashionable white hotel in a far eastern city where all migrants from the South, with fifteen on board, sat on the white folks would hear.

Unless the Negro with courageous insistence holds up to the idealization of white culture, he will not win the race, his soul will become self-stabilized by alien idealism. Every white man who is a cultured and practical life is under the similitude of a white exterior. When he goes to the movies he finds every skin of a black man, and his skin. If the Negro enters, it must need be as a clown or as a funny.

On with Negro History Week! Homely Philosophy The price of transition was the denial of his own flesh and blood. I was a child of this type and character, but of this type and character, but these must suffice to point a moral and tell their own pathetic tale. Those who are the immediate or early destiny of the Negro race in this land, can certainly not cherish "Negro History "T" PEOPLE Have you met that great group of people who have been born at the temple begin and ends or just halt them? Have you met that world in its process of turning, revolves very specially around Mark how, with them, every situation an occasion is regarded and our own fore-front personality. Have you not known the ache and pain of being lengthened conference with these super egoptists? And do you not well know the gentle unwinding and refreshment which their ability ends' it. It would be well to review our own experiences and if we have some of these unimpact traits and by all means to climimate "FK", if perhaps there be any. ABRAHAM LINCOLN (By JOHN H. APEL) Fate called this man of destiny to face a world of hate, To guide upon a raging sea, To unleash the slam of State. The day were dark, the sea was wild The storm the water was rough, He bravely stood, condemned, reviled To reach the port at last. The darkest hours passed away; The rudder in control, He saw the dawning of the day, He steered toward the goal. The storm abated, calmed the sea, Like the rising tide on the sea, Sandstorm, liberty, A righteous cause had won. We jis nutcatchly nii got, it Gue.

Of this term are too silly to mention except in the sense of ridicule. They are all white men, not black. That all negroes are not black Neither are all white men white, not black. That all negroes are not black. In the very nature of the case the term must be generic. A black man is likely to be helped by what rather than by The Ship of State in majesty Through victor's ports saluted, Through victor's ports saluted, The right at last prevailed. The battles were not fought in vain On land or on the sea; The former slaves were free.
