It was among these red hills that this scribe was born; it was here he spent his boyhood days; it was here that he attended school at Bishop College in the city of his hivianity.

It was a fitting tribute to his career teaching, training and inspiring Negro youths and shaping their lives for careers of service to their community. In eulogizing the life of Dean Fuller, Mr. Talcott referred to the Filler as the educator, and spoke of the unbroken friendship stretching over three decades. She felt that the students could pay Dean Fuller a great honor, "Dr. D. C. Gilmore, acting president, has injected new life into both the faculty and student body, and the paywall on the campus.

He is recognized as one of the race's most thinkers and most able platform speakers, and is constantly in demand for public addresses. He has written several works, one of his most outstanding productions being "Campus Democracy," which originally delivered at the Southern western Students' Conference, Gibland, La. April, 28, 1923.

Tom thereby shows his bias, or the government printing office more money in linotype costs than any other office. Heinfin prefers a predefined means and less constructive legislation. Tom obliges the taxing the paper to pay for printing his spleen, he now wants them to pay for circulating junk. But that's the spirit of the "grab-all" cracker. The record is free; yet Tom is too darn cheap to pay for the extra copies above eighty dollars; yet he that is still as casually mean as they like their senator to be.

Gore, former head of the Chicago Crime Commission, last week, to the effect that Negroes whom he said represented 6 per cent of the population of Chicago, committed 40 per cent of all the crime. It is the varied population which resides here, Mr. Gore said, counts for Chicago's unusual crime showing. The statement was made before 200 white business men at a meeting in the city on Monday, Strawn, president American Bar Association, to discuss the condition of crime in the city. Critics of Mr. Gore, though not all of them, claimed to quote, are outspoken in their condemnation of his statement of crime, and pro-governors content that there are WILL CONTEND FOR RIGHTS OF NEGRO, SAYS RACE SOLON Keystone, W.

Work and Wages Collective bargaining through real trade unions is the only proven method of bettering conditions and raising wages. Sleeping Car Porters is an excellent example of effort toward this end. In the past, they were paid, especially on farms. They are discriminated against in industry because they are permitted to do; in the wages they receive, Negro children need real intelligent vocational guidance, and fructification in hysteria.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1928 Negroes are organized into 47,515 church groups, holding property valuation and budgeting budgets aggregating more than ten millions of dollars. Religion among the group there is the clash of primitive superstition, sectarian orthodoxy and knowledge. Without the group and in its contact with whites there are questions about the role of religion and discrimination and both within and without there are problems of discussion; a supporter of education; a supporter of its widespread social leadership of the Negro group. The weakness of the group is the large proportion of ignorant and poorly paid ministers; the lack of intelligent developing youth. Negro Youth Negro youth is affected by its modern environment. That environment demands an environment in colleges; freedom from religious encouragement; encouragement through education. Especially does Negro youth today for sympathy, encouragement, with the white world the strain of disaffection with its own Negro world, and contact with its own Negro world. The chance of misunderstanding and miscommunication is young. American Negro extraordinarily difficult. Young Negroes are not called from their own matrons of moment. They are not listened to seriously, and do not learn the view of view and the experience of view. They are still met by harsh command rather than by argument and explanation. CLARK PANTHERS CLAW MOREHOUSE TIGERS IN GAME Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4, 1928—Clark's Panthera ralled in the closed play, when Johnson and Hazzard rang a fumilade of shots from every conceivable angle and downed the Morehouse Tigers 20-14 in a five-point victory. The first stanza was hot, with Clark leading the first ten minutes. Morehouse tied the count at 5-1 and neither team was able to forge ahead before the midway line had been reached. The second half was full of fast drives and passing attacks by both drives, the count seemed quitequent intervals. In the last few minutes of play, Johnson broke loose and sank his first basket of the evening from mid-floor. Captain Hazzard followed shortly afterward, and the count was held. The Morehouse five staged a comeback and checked the Panther shooting attack, but were unable to overtake. Captain Hazzard took away the honour for the Clarkites with 9 points and 10 rebounds, who took honours for Morehouse. Captain Dobbs, who has been on the sick list for the past year, lineup, but retired shortly after the beginning of the second period. Sapp, at guard for Morehouse, deserves an uncommon obdurate guarding. URBAN LEAGUE AIDING YOUTH OFFICIAL SAYS URBAN LEAGUE AIDING YOUTH OFFICIAL SAYS By JESSE O. THOMAS (For The Associated Negro Press) One of the greatest social problems in all of our American cities is the consequence of unorganized and unregulated leisure time activities. In all of our Southern communities much delinquency results from the result of the lack of adequate park, playground and recreational detention home or reformatory environment the difficulty of the courts in making disposition of juvenile delinquents occurs. The Tampa Urban League during the year 1927, cooperated with the Tampa City Police to custody and supervision of thirty six boys. Without such an agency as the Urban League, the courts were unable to marry Mariana, the state reformatory. The histow of these thirty-six children under which many of these criminals are manufactured or housed. Of these thirty-six boys, only three were taken into school. Thirty-four were retarded in school to be normally graded. Five of the thirty-six attended school regularly not in school at all. Thirty-three of the thirty-six came from broken-up families living under the supervision of both parents. Twelve fathers had死于 the dead. Four mothers were dead. One both mother and father死于 the dead. Four mothers were away from city. Of the thirty-six, only one father has made inquiry concerning his son who under one mother and one sister have manifested some interest in their other boy is necessary to keep their twelve or is necessary to keep their school in order to help take care of the child. In the absence of a truant officer it is impossible to enforce the school. In most cases, the boys came from the underdear and unwholesome. How fortunate these boys are to have a brother and sister, executive secretary of the Tampa Urban League, and his wife, case worker, to come "back home." TAA3 Copyright—A. N. P. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD Durham, N. C. - (ANP) - Very few meetings held by members of the group have aroused such widespread interest. Durham Stock-Taking and Fact-Finding requests for information which have poured in upon the committee in Durham are being made. Dr. James E. Shepard last Friday, "From the great number of the findings to the findings of the Durham Fact-Finding Conference, it appears that the material presented at the conference in the manner usually characteristic of our national meetings, was simply a form of casting of the material, unlike most of our national gatherings, was simply a form of presentation, rather than a serious effort to determine the present-day status of the American Negro case, therefore, before the release of the material, the committee reviewed both the authors and the committees appointed for that purpose, and the materials not only for their values as facts, but as to their worth to the Negro community, but not only for their values as facts, and a summary of the findings of the conference stripped of all elements of mere opinion, will be published in a publication of a volume which will contain the documents presented at The conference it to be held again in 1928.

Dear Co-Laborers: The 19th annual session of the South Texas Colored Teachers Association, February 23, 24, and 25, and from all indications this promises to be a great opportunity to history of the association. Some of the leading educators of Texas will appear on the program, among whom are Prairie View State College and presiding professor Texas College and presiding professor Texas College, Prof. T. R. Davis, president Samuel Huston College, president Gandalupte College, and others too numerous to mention, so please don't fail to meet this spacious audience from all parts of Texas. Prof. A. D. Simshead and the colored students prepare to entertain the visitors. They have secured the finest faculty in the country and have our musical on Friday night. The teachers who desire to be in the classroom learn as offering professional advantages; secondly, by reading the best books and bearing upon our profession; last, but by no means least, by attending the South Texas Colored Teachers Association. I want to place great stress on the importance and necessity of every student in our active member of our teachers' association. We have become associated with some of the best brains of the race: teachers of ipe scholarship and years of experience in the intellectual powerhouse. No teacher can attend this meeting without being inspired to do more and better work when he returns to his community. Teachers teach in great numbers for more than 75 per cent of our children from the country districts God and man have secured some of the great benefits from the national man benefaction in the world. I need to meet you at the Association again.

The conference, which extends over two days, was the most largely attended day of the conference. From the time Joseph F. Drake, president of the State Agricultural College, to the conference was held, opened the meet. Thursday morning, until T. M. Campbell, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, soon, well-qualified speakers were telling the farmers how to solve their problems. The conference is one of the extension activities conducted by the institution for the benefit of farm-ers. The program consists of round-table dresses and round-table discussions of the farmers' problems. Special attention was paid to the needs of crops and cooperative marketing. M.E.

PACE There is a card in the bus on which I frequently ride to work which I always read with a great deal of interest and which says: "Naborhoods which patronize their maberoh stores always have the best stores." I sometimes sit and substitute two words in that slogan and think how aptly it applies to our people. If this is changed so as to read "Races which patronize their own race stores always have the best stores," it will point out a lesson to us that the white man has learned many years ago, but which we are slow to learn. The question of race patronage is a question about which there has been a good deal of unfortunate and unthinking discussion. Some have argued that we should patronize each other only when we are in a fallacious argument, and the sooner we are in a fallacious argument, and the sooner we are in a fallacious argument, the only way to enable a struggling race to get into position where it can compete with the powerful races which have been in the commercial life for generations, is to patronize business ventures regardless of every other factor until those ventures get to the point where of their volume of patronage and the resultant increase in their buying power, they can give the same service as to quality and quantity and price as other people do. It sometimes happens that a colored man is operating a grocery store, or a drug store, or a tailor shop in a white neighborhood and most all of his patronage is white because it is convenient for them to patronize him and because he has no competition for that patronage. But let a white man open a similar grocery store, or a tailor shop, or what-not, in the same white block, or across the street, and a large portion of the white patronage will immediately and soothe to the white man. They do not need any suggestion of patronizing their own. It is inbred in them, and they do it spontaneously and automatically. On the other hand, if a white man is conducting a grocery store, or a drug store, or some other business in a colored neighborhood, and all of his patronage is colored, and then a colored man opens a similar store in the same block, or the next block, or across the street, his colored neighbors do not immediately come to his aid and patronize him. But they continue to go and give their money to the white man who cares nothing particularly about the community, and they frequently allow their colored neighbor to practically and literally starve to death and retire from business disgusted and broken. If the colored man asks them for their business, they respond that they have maintained the white storekeeper so long and he has always treated them right, and they see no reason to change. In this last statement, is perhaps, the entire situation. They have not been able to see the one big reason for the change. They forget that the new storekeeper is one of their own kind and every other factor in the equation ought to be left out and that alone ought to prevail in the relationship of Negroes to each other. As a people, we must learn to patronize our own. This must be the first, last and the only deciding factor. Every other race, every other nation, and every other religion practices that one thing. No Jew could ever be persuaded to give his patronage to a Negro in preference to a Jew; no African would ever patronize a Negro druggist. And yet, many African and prosperous physicians will throw their persuasion to a Jewish or an Italian druggist in their neighborhood downstreet, while they let their druggist brother, their fellow alumna, and perhaps their actual classmate—a colored druggist—take out a miserable living on the remnants of which he should get all. The Negro physician has capitalized race patronage to the extent that he has made every body ashamed to have a white doctor's car stand in front of their door. It has been a good thing for the physicians. It has made them rich and prosperous. It has given them opportunities and culture to learn and grow among them to the extent that we have physicians in our group who are the peer of any race. It is a good thing that this has been done, and I am glad that at least one group has been able to bring this about. Negro physicians ought to be patronized. The more patronage they get the more skillful they will become as a group. But the same thing is true of every other profession and business. Negro newspapers, magazines, and newspapers are patronized. The more they are patronized the more prosperous they become; the more skillful and able they become as a group. Negro grocers, tailors, druggists, hucksters, newdelers, and whatnot, ought to be given the preference by every Negro who spends even two cents. The more volume these people receive, the more capable they will become of giving you the same quality of service and the same prices that Negro insurance companies and Negro banks demand and deserve race patronage. There is no more failure among Negro banks than there is in any other profession. Negro banks make many times less in actual percentages than it has been and is now among whites. If a Negro bank in every community got the unqualified support of no one, it would have never failed ever due to too much money. It is only that bank which has too little money to meet a demand for its service that it tries to meet that demand. Negro banks have no financial service for Negroes way beyond their actual resources, and in trying to serve the once they have sometimes stopped beyond the margin of safety. Negro banks have rendered none of the greatest services ever. Negro insurance companies are supervised by the same state officers, incorporated in the same way as white insurance companies. If they get the patronage of the numbers of the race who ought to insure with them they would not meet to meet a racial sensed that no other organization has can meet. The price of economic freedom is race patronage at whatever cost, and the lesson we will never advance beyond the stage of beginners in business. "Races that patronize their own race stores always have the best stores!" # WASHINGTON INSURANCE MANAGERS MEET There are ten insurance companies conducted by Negroes represented in the rich Washington district, and these companies have as managers of the insurance companies the same occupational status as men as occupier similar positions with liked concerns anywhere in America. That they are an unusually broadminded lot of fellows is obvious from the fact that they maintain among themselves a managers' association with the insurance industry, and they command a greater respect for all insurance men. They discuss their problems and lay plans at a dinner each week, after which each goes out with his underwriting organization and competes keenly and cleanly for as many positions as he can find. These men study their market, analyze the obstacles confronting the writing of business, exchange observations and experiences and entertain such dinner guests as may have information of interest to them or contacts worthy of their attention. Served at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. last week, with Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the public school system; Mrs. Daisy Glenn of the city social service; James A. Jackson of the division of Domestic Commerce; the lady manager of the Wage Earners National Association; and the chief executive of McKinley, one of Washington's oldest realtors, and Prof. W. C. Matzay, business administrator of Bluestfield Institute, as guests. If one may judge of the tremendous value of the organized managers to the insurance business in general, by the practical results evidenced at that moment, the young organization has more than justified its existence already. Perry Bound, founder and president of the body, is the general agent for the Liberty Life Insurance Company.

That The Houston Informer is one of the most outstanding newspapers published in the entire country, has again been evidenced in its selection by Dr. Robert Russia Moton, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington), Tuskegee, Alabama, president of the National Negro Business League and recognized in many circles as the worthy successor to the leadership enjoyed and exercised by the late Tuskegee educator for many years, as one of the two publications printed in America carrying editorial utterances anent the Memphis bank failure and situation on which the race can base its future business and commercial activities. When national figures, such as Dr. Moton and others, regard The Informer as an outstanding medium of expression and as pointing and showing the way to a better and safer day in our racial life in this country, undoubtedly this paper is performing a type of service which is not readily apparent to many at close range. The editorial to which Dr. Moton referred and to which he cited the attention of the race, appeared in The Informer under the heading "The Negro Business League" 1928-1929. Dr. Moton, in suggesting that Negro business men (and those interested in the success of Negro business) should hold local fact-finding and stock-taking conferences, was of the opinion that this particular Informer would serve as the foundation of which to get some definite and concrete action and results. The Negro learns that there is no "short cut" to success, either racially, commercially, financially or otherwise, his pathway is going to be strewn with wrecks, disasters and defeats. Business has been reduced to science and no unprepared man or race can hope to make good in business merely because of his or its color or connections. We must pay the price of success, which has often been designated as "eternal vigilance" (continually staying on the job, both shaping and doing your stuff" according to tested and proven business men). To pursue any other course or to fly off on a tangent is a flirtation with chance that is laden with many difficulties and dangers. Speaking about business, the American Negro has hardly scratched the vast business and commercial surface, and yet on all sides, in all sections of the country where appreciable numbers of Negroes reside, are golden opportunities for our people to embark in business; but to go in business we must be willing to do so. Too many of our business men and women try to start at the top of the ladder, and ere long they find themselves at the bottom of the business ladder, frantically edgeaving to attain the heights formerly occupied by them. There seems to be a racial characteristic, inherent and innate in the Negro, which makes him disdain and despise the day of small things; of humble beginnings; of serving his days of apprenticeship; of making sacrifices until his business is strong and gold enough to afford him many of the things he seeks to obtain and enjoy before his business undergoing or commercial venture has thrown aside swaddling clothes. Because we know such little about real business, the Informer, in connection with the Associated Negro Press, the National Negro Business League and the United States Department of Agriculture, has been able to bring its columns, known as "Industry and Business," and Negro business men and women, will do well to read and study these surveys and articles, written by experts and authorities, which appear in the newspapers. If we permit a few business collapses and financial reverses to cause us to lose heart and literally quit cold in our tracks, then we demonstrate to other races that we do not possess those attributes, characteristics and qualities which are a component of business success, financial strength and commercial leadership. MEMPHIS BANK'S HUGE SHORTAGE According to the findings of three Tennessee bank examiners, who checked up and audited the accounts and investigated the affairs of the defunct Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, which closed its doors at Memphis, Tennessee, December 29, 1927, the total shortage was found to be in excess of one-half million dollars. Furthermore, this exhaustive audit disclosed the fact that not only were some of the bank officials guilty of bad management, but that in several instances some of these race bankers are alleged to have embezzled funds of the defunct financial institution. It is charged, in the examiners' report, that one bank officer, who will be held responsible for a shortage approximating America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper $220,000 and that large loans, one a $60,000 third mortgage loan, long since past due, ran in the neighborhood of $275,000. The total deposits of this late bank were close to $1,500,000 mark, showing that the institution had the confidence, goodwill, support and respect of the colored citizens of the Bluff City, contiguous and even distant territory. Therefore, judging from this audit and the startling facts revealed, this financial institution did not fail because of lack of knowledge and knowledge is directly attributable to mismanagement and dishonesty. Judging from the age of the bank, particularly prior to its merger, and the experience in banking its directing heads are supposed to have had, one would conclude that they should have steered clear of such pitfalls; that they would have been honest with the people's money, consigned and intrusted to their charge. Of all commercial undertakings, a bank is one institution in which the officers and employees must be honest and free from any taint of dishonesty or crookedness. In the hands and manipulations of "sharpers," crooks and "financial jugglers," the money of no person, firm or organization is safe; for when the "smart financiers" begin to make money cut peculiar capes and execute funny stunts, the final outcome will be "frozen assets" (which cover a multitude of financial commissions and omission) and a resultant shortage and debacle.

I had suggested in an year about a World at that time, endured a tion. Of course, no other conclu- The primary prerequisites for conducting any line of business, whether that business be individual or cooperative, mercantile or financial, are honesty, integrity, trustworthiness and a practical knowledge of the business or commercial undertaking. We must know what it is all about, from a line of business without first "knowing what it is all about," his chances of succeeding are very slim; for no man can teach or impart that which he does not know, and no man can operate a business who knows absolutely nothing about said business. Without any previous preparation or training, too many of our people are not well prepared because they do not know the fundamentals of good business; because they have not learned their business alphabets before launching out into the deep. A person learning to swim must first practice in shallow water, and then as he learn the art of swimming and becomes more proficient in the water, he can safely swim in deeper water; because they do not know the fundamentals of good business; because they have not learned their business alphabets before launching out into the deep. A person learning to swim must first practice in shallow water, and then as he learn the art of swimming and becomes more proficient in the water, he can safely swim in deeper water; because they do not know the fundamentals of good business; because they have not learned their business alphabets before launching out into the deep. From all indications, the defunct Memphis bank will never open its doors again for business, but the race can learn a good lesson, tragic though it may be, from the failure of this institution; and if we are wise and will profit by the mistakes of the past, we can learn from the projects the callibre and type of protection and safeguard which other successful men and races have placed around theirs. We can not dismiss such failures with the rest rejoinder that other races have had and are still having such collapses and reversals; for, while this is true, the Negro can ill afford, of all groups the unequal population, to suffer and survive such and such. As a race, we do not have much money, and when a black man invests his money in a race project or deposits his money in a Negro bank, he generally goes his limit—often the accumulations of a lifetime—and when such failures come, he is rendered practically peniless and often finds himself without cash or and very little spirit left to "carry on" in the face of such blows. It is possible that; if a few of our defaulting and crooked bank officers and employees were given penitentiary sentences, it would serve as a deterrent to others serving in similar and other capacities, who seem to be unable to differentiate between mine and thine. This post-mortem editorial is somewhat like the funeral oration that is deceased person: it can do the dead no earthly good, but it can help the survivors, if they will heed the admonition and profit by the mistakes of the decedent. INFORMER'S CONTENTION VINDICATED Readers of The Informer will recall how this paper has repeatedly contended that Harris County grand jury commissioners and the judge of the district criminal court should select for grand jury service in this county, some Negro other than the small group which, apparently, has had a monopoly on this body for lo, these many years. It appears that this agitation has already borne fruit, for the present grand jury, emanated last week, has a colored representative, Homer E. McCoy, popular young race business man, who is actively identified with all local movements that mean for racial uplift and betterment. The Informer wishes to congratulate Mr. McCoy, who is the young Negro to serve on the Harris County grand jury, for this signal honor, and at the same time we wish to commend the jury commissioners and Judge Whit Boyd for selecting this outstanding young Negro for membership on this investigative body, dealing with and giving recognition to the Negro race, so many of our Southern white people are prone to deal with and honor some Negro of their acquaintance, whether that Negro is intelligent, upstanding and representative of his race or not; and then when the other Negroes will not rally to support such appointee or honoree, the Negroes who are open and outspoken are proclaimed to be the most intelligent and malcontented as being "radicals," "sore heads" and "malcontents." We have known of instances (some of which have occurred right here in "Heavenly Houston") where Negroes serving in the most mental capacities and wholly unable to even represent themselves, to say nothing of an intelligent, and capable, man, served on grand juries and occupied other high appointee posts merely because some white person or official person knew this particular Negro. Before any Negro is appointed to a post, which is supposed to be representative, his qualifications should be considered, and, to some extent, his experience in jail and how long he has lived in the community, how much property he owns or is supposed to own, how intimately acquainted he is with Mr. So-and-So, how long he has been in the employ of his man or that firm, or how many generations of this or that family he and his family have served—such Negro should not be appointed to the No intelligent and thinking man, set of men or race of people will long submit to an ignorant, spineless and lackey leadership being superimposed by other men or races; and the Southern white man who still tries to select the leader or leaders for the Negro race is wasting valuable time and creating and maintaining a lackey leadership. The lackey confidence of Negroes in the white man's sense of fairness and square-dealing with the black race. When more Negroes of the McHenry Coype and category are given recognition by those in official authority, a better day is going to dawn for both the white and black races; for the Negro who is always playing "Sambo" and serving in the stool-pole, he is being dawn for Mr. Sambo and is merely sticking his fingers in the white people's eyes. Such a Negro is a hypocrite, a living liar and is unworthy of the goodwill, confidence and respect of either man or beast! OPINIONS Lynching and Prohibition A BY KELLY HILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Some days ago, I contributed a letter to the Washington Post under the above caption. In this letter I entailed taking sharp issues with my letter to the Washington Post, that I encountered between the rise of local and national prohibition and the decline of lynching. I had advanced the same suggestion in an address in Atlantic City about a year ago. The New York World, at that time, by editorial comment, endeavored to upset my content of course, one would expect no other occurrence from the wet world. Pittsburgh Courier of Jamaica takes sharp issues with my letter to the Washington Post, that I encountered between the rise of local and national prohibition and the decline of lynching. I had advanced the same suggestion in an address in Atlantic City about a year ago. The New York World, at that time, by editorial comment, endeavored to upset my content of course, one would expect no other occurrence from the wet world. The decline of lynching as a rise of prohibition and local and national prohibition, no other occurrences, but of logical occurrences. Whatever two things Pittsburgh Courier of January 21, taking sharp issue with my letter in the Washington Post, that the decline of lynching is due in a large part to the rise of prohibition. Judge Roberts overthrew my contribution, one readily guesses its answer to the query, "Wet or dry." The decline of lynching and the rise of prohibition, local and national, are not merely a matter of casual occurrences, but of logical causation. The frequently together, the mind naturally infers that there must be some underlying reason for the concurrence in the middle of the mimesion when the Southern state began to enact laws. Since that time there has been a steady and unmistakable decline in black and white. If we follow the figures as given in the Negro Year of 1860, namely escape this concurrence. Of course, curred irregularities in the rise and fall of the column of figures. This irregularity. Because some subsequent year shows a greater number of irregularities in the years. Netwathlanding the constant rise in prohibition, the good editor, has eliminated from consideration the probable imperfections of the records, special circumstances which are valued at times and places also and the general statistical law that all are subject to simony perforations.

I had a special occasion. I have yet to find a single leader in public affairs who can deal with the moral enforcement. If not wet in practice, they are at least moist in their hands. I have to take a release under the caption "Wet or Dry?" But the dryhes have come over the moral sense of the Negro. I can well remember when each school and college operated a temperature control system. School days schools gave frequent attention to this great moral and social reform that beaded to be a blue ribboner who gave her wooer to understand that, "The touch touch will never touch me."

There were 255 lyschamps in 1828, when national pre-emption regulations, those had declined to 61 in 1838, when national pre-emption regulations, those had declined to 187, under federal prohibition, the number dropped to 16. Lacking a record, the general trend cannot be escaped. But in addition to the facts of objection to the decision, the decision is reasonably reasonable. All will agree that the open salon is apt to aureate and to be a more generous hoster elements of both races, and thus render the more arragrant intention of the weaker, on the slightest provocation. The charge charges against the salon in orderly, for the good and sufficient reason that disorder is the ordinary The churches have grown silent So far as I learn, not a single great man has ever stressed the importance of prohibition. I have not heard or heard of a sermon on temperance or total abstinence since the passage of the Constitution. I will suggest some additional relative facts for the Courier to an audience of the public, in logic. Race rises, the twinity of lynching, has quite disappeared in the past. The time of outbreaks in East St. Louis, Omni, Chicago, Longview Washington and Tulah is related to the rise of lynching. If the Courier is disqualified to account for the decline in race rises by inference, it would be tried to do in the case of lynching.

I wish I could permit the Courts to hear the journals and organs of public opinion, to come from hibernation up here, to be able to plumplain disbelief, and come on the Lard side to the side of the order, order and temperance. Homely Philosophy Women are the chief beneficiaries of the eighteenth amendment. Drunk men indulge in strong drink, and women are made to bear the brunt. Women are made to bear the brunt, whose insistence placed the eighteenth amendment on the statute of the nation, to have the law upheld and obeyed. But we are and are disappointing. Women are not the nation would away and declare that they intend to vote only for dry candidates and national governments would fall into the hands of the upholders of the nation. We find that in the cities where women are unlucky in the majority, the women who go women are no exception to this rule. They follow the lead of men in the interest of the liquor forces, they women are white, black or white, I am not writing releases and making address and giving private admonitions for the sake of indulgence in life condemnation, but with the hope and realism of our conscience of the Negro people to assertive activity in behalf of a moral reform upon which the nation deems credible. SANCTUARY At some time we all seek sanctuary: the place of safety, refuge, and protection. We slip away from all the clan of the world. Some call it hame, another church, and still another, a synagogue. And there are those who call it God. George Washington (By JOHN H. APEL) The Father of his country stood On fields of battle drenched with blood. The newspapers are the greatest simmer in this generation against the right to temperance. There is scarcely to be found a leading daily paper which has been writing about the question as it is written in the law. Prohibition is made the best of ridicule, sport and jost in almost every way to a kill or to cause a way to kill a good cause or a bad one is to laugh it to death. The Neo-Nazis have joined in this general trend. The Atlanta Independent is among the most important and vital moral reform. While I am writing this release, I am writing about the right and down-stright on this most important and vital moral reform.
