F. RICHARDSON DALLAS VERSUS HOUston ANOTHER "NEGRO WEEK" UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION This columnist was in Dallas last week and was living here on the "Sunbabe," the de laux non-stop passenger train on the Southern Pacific Line, and returning later in the week to pleasure every time we ride this train, which affords a type of first-class accommodation to excel on any purely Southern railroad line, including meals on the train. But it was not our intention to give either the S. P. or yer secribe what we read in the Metro Texas metro we read a new item where the federal government plans to erect a federal (postal) building in Houston and to cost approximately $1,500,000 and while writing said newspaper we found ourselves contrasting Negro citizenry. There is not a notillary Negro in the Houston has 90 postoffice carriers of color, 1 postoffice clerk, 2 postoffice clerks with headquarters in Houston, among which are 15 clerks in charge to say nothing of numerous drivers and porters without number. While Dallas has Houston "skimmed country mile" when it comes to food, the majority of drivers are dential sections, and, while the majority of Negro hungers in the North Texas (something which can not be said truthfully concerning a large proportion of Houston"), Dallas blacks have only one member of their race connected to the municipal government in any city. Houston has 3 Negro patrolmen on the force, 2 Negro detectives, 1 traint officer, 1 public school physician, 3 nurses with the Social Service Bureau, 2 Negro patrolmen, 2 police, 2 City Hospital, 3 nurses in the public schools, 1 family case worker with Social Service Bureau, 3 workers (2 matters and 1 janitress) with Bethlehem Negro Day Nursery; practically all city grade staff handled by Negroes; 10 Negro patrolmen, 10 Negro one Negro in its quarterly membership; a Negro deputy poll tax collector; one white philanthropist has donated the Houston Negroes an $80,000 hospital, offered from kitchen and food, and has been a city donated two blocks on which to locate this much-needed institution. Industrially, Houston Negroes are filling all avenues of profitable employment, and we even have Negroes serving as salesmen and salesladies in some of our white business places. To the extent that the Negroes are working in their cities, they have some Negroes holding nice jobs with various local concerns and industries, such as the railroad companies, cotton companies, the Ship Channel and other lines, would be burdensome to our industry. In our North Texas city friends in "on our North Texas city friends, Either Dallas blacks are mighty backward, or Dallas whites have not caught the spirit of Houston whites, in their attitude and relations to the Negroes. They are not always kind and types of offices and holding all species of jobs, there is practically no friction here between the races as a resultant, which goes to disprove the argument no often advanced that the Negroes are not good at making more, make good money, they are a source of continual trouble and annoyance to the white race. In a series of newspaper articles endeavoring to sell Dallas to the world, we found that the Dallas newsleaders of that city: "Dallas Can be Outstanding City of Southwest." There is more truth than fiction in that heading, for while Dallas "can be", "Heavenly Houston" really IS the "outstanding city of the South" If colored residents of Dallas want to visit or reside in a real American city, they can benefit both part of value by visiting or removing to "Heavenly Houston" the house that was built to the 1928 Colored Knights of Pyrrhon grand lodge and National Democratic Convention, Selah. According to information imparted to us in a letter from W. Ellis Stewart, the National Negro Insurance Association, which is comprised of 28 life, health and accident insurance companies operated by Nebraska, March 4-11, 1928, has been designated as "National Negro Insurance Week."

The dead man, Clark Avenue, was found with his wife, Clark Avenue, in alley near his home last Thursday. He ingested a boy testified he had seen a light-skinned man strike Dean with an x2. A coroner's verdict of homicide was returned. An unknown man was returned. The storkeeper told police he had been the dead man for the year and a half ago. He considered Dean, then employed by him, to be the dead man. He used the insurance money to give his body decent burial in the event he had the insurance money to give the insurance until two o'clock, when an insurance collector asked if he has the white man was paying the insurance and was the beneficiary. The storkeeper denied knowledge of the murder. Colored Delegate Problem Puzzles N.Y.Democracy New York City—(A N P) —The precedent established by the Democrat convention, is a coloring delegate to the national Democratic convention, is a boonmaking in the coming events of the party, which states that no colored delegates be named to the conventions. Leaders of the Republican party are playing this up strongly to the Democrats in 1964, when was easy to know how they can explain this to their followers. They make invades into the colored members of the Republican party caused the Democrats to make move in 1964, when was easy to know how they can explain this to their followers. Square Garden affair, but this year it is entirely different and with the Democrats in New York, it will be interesting to know what they intend doing. The Democrats, in their hand, have named Rev. E. M. Boden as delegate to the national Republican convention in Kansas City,府府. At a recent meeting of the leaders of the three districts, 19th, 18th and 17th congressional districts in Harlem, the name of Rev. Bolden was elected as Ansonberry Abram Grunen.

WHITES PROTEST LOCATION NEGRO SCHOOL IN MIDST Little Rock, Ark.—(ANP)—The announcement that the proposed Hovey Roger Williams College would be located on the Myers property on South Carolina's coast has created much dissension here among white citizens. Three white civic clubs have entered formal protest over the site, which has been selected. At a conference held by the representatives of the college Tuesday, the club representatives declared that the location of the site would cause their property to depreciate, result in Negroes encroaching on the site, and cause the Village碧宝 Park as a white playground and result in Negroes taking over the property. The Proponents of the college stated that the site was selected after several months of found wanting. It meets the requirements made by the organization that the site be located within half a million dollar endowment fund and at the present time the property is surrounded by Negro residents and has a judge who will have the jurisdiction to locate other sites and submit reports within the next month.

Nashville, Tenn.—On the morning of February 17, at 4:15, James A. Myers, a Fisk University graduate of the class of 1908, died at his home here. Mr. Myers had been suffering with heart disease for several years and incapacitated for over a year. He received his degree in theology from Fisk and served as principal of the Kowaliga School for Colored Youths. He was a member of the National Youth Singers, and even while principal of the Kowaliga School he gave a portion of his time to Fisk, making records for the Edison Company. He was for a year pastor of a Baptist church in the city, and for another year pastor of a church in Greenville. After two years of preaching he was persuaded to devote all of his time to music and join the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Mr. Myers was a song tenor with the quintet and advertised Fisk all over the world. It was he who was responsible for the first European tour of the Fisk Jubilee Singers since 1884, when the original Jubilee Singers were the first of the three. Mr. Myers went abroad with the singers three times and only illness prevented his returning with them in December of this year. Few singers have made as many friends, or have been so profoundly loved as was Mr. Myers. Seemingly, having a premonition of death, he sent for his wife who was with the Fisk singers touring Europe. He was a young man who was in twenty-eight years, Mrs. Myers (formerly Miss Henrietta Crawley, a student of Fisk) rushed to her husband's bedside and was with him when he died. Shortly before his death, the first of his two sons, Mr. Myers, self, Lady Astor, sent a cablegram expressing her deep solicitude over his condition and hoping for his recovery. Mr. Myers was outstanding as a brother-son of the father and enthusiastic in-spirer of younger Mason. He will be remembered by all the Fisk family as one of the great Fisk singers, to be named with such men as Tom Rut- A special Masonic service was held on Monday, February 18, and regular funeral services were held Monday in the church. The previews of condolences from all over the world have poured in to Mr. Meyers expressing the regret of Mr. Meyers. Louisville Moves To Return Nordic Rapist To Prison Louisville, Ky.—(ANP)—The Negro citizenry of this city and a large number of right-thinking white people are up in arms against the release of Charles Palone, a white man, after serving one year of a five-year sentence for beating unmerel候ly and criminally assaulting a fourteen-year-old man. Palone, girl. Palone was tried and convicted a year ago. A few days ago the whole city was shocked with the announcement that he had been released on a mandatory order presented by his attorney, based on a law passed in 1926 which declared that a prisoner could not be confined in the county jail over a term of twelve consecutive months. At the trial, the facts revealed the case as one of the most brutal and heinous ever committed in this section. The child-victim was beaten unmercilfully by the white brute and was almost unconscious when he committed the criminal assault. Citizens of both races expressed the opinion that had the girl been white, Palone would have been lynched, and the five years' sentence imposed on him was declared to have been to be a criminal. Attorney W. C. Otto, who prosecuted Palone and who fought for a death sentence, told a committee composed of I. Willis Cole, W. H. Steward, William Warley, Rev. Cox and Rev. Shambourger, that he would leave no stone unturned to have Palone returned to prison. Mr. Ottie won the respect of the colored citizens here by the manner in which he prosecuted Palone. The local chapter of the N. A. C. P. is taking an active part in the fight and it too has pointed out that everything possible will be done to see that the rapist does not remain at liberty. Nordics' Charge Negro Attacked Woman Stirs Pre-Election Campaign Hamtranck, Mich.—(ANP)—Sensational and politically omnious attacks, with the Negro as the scapegant, are marking the citywide pre election campaign in this city of more than 100,000, where 56 candidates are fighting one another for ten offices. The offices cover those of mayor, city clerk, treasurer, constables and councilmen. The Negro vote, in an electorate which is largely Polish, is the balance of power. To discredit it, and to prevent either side from using it, stories have been circulated of Negro attacks on white women, and the charge made that a Polish woman was attacked at the local Elks home. An investigation was made, which was groundless, but, nevertheless, a shyster white lawyer has drawn up and circulated a petition to have this Elks home closed. If the effort to close the home succeeds, it will have the effect of discouraging the alignment between one of the white factions and the Negro vote. William R. Graham, a Negro, is assistant to the city clerk, and is campaigning for election to the city council. He has the endorsement of Mayor Stephen A. Majewski. His election would force the recognition of the Negroes' political influence. During the election campaign another Negro has been placed in Graham's job. The election is March 7. Institute Classes Showing Interest In N.Y. Instructor The third week of the recreational institute was entered into with much enthusiasm, with all plans for the classes and lectures by Mrs. Dora Cole Norman having been completed. All afternoon classes are held at the Jack Yates Colored High School, while the morning classes are divided among the various grade schools. Games, folk dances and lectures comprise the general program. When interviewed by an Informer representative, Wednesday, Mrs. Norman expressed herself as well pleased with the course of recreation studies outlined in the schools visited, and the cooperative spirit manifested. She spoke in praise of the efforts Supt. E. E. Oberholtzer and Miss Corinne Fonde, to provide this course and complimented the work of the principals and teachers, who were responsive and willing to establish a thoroughly organized recreational program that will give the colored boys and girls finer ideals of wholesome amusement. Mrs. Norman is a pupil of the late Franklin H. Sargent, director of the American Dramatic Art and studied symbolic acting under Constantine Stonley of the Colburn Players at Columbia University; was organizer and director of the Players Guild, in New York. She is a sister of the late Robert Cole of Cole and Johnson comedy team. The institute will close March 12. Principal J. D. Ryan of Jack Yates High School is chairman of colored work committee, and Miss Ellie A. Walls is secretary. HOUSTON YOUTHS ATTEND MEETING AT STATE SCHOOI Last Sunday afternoon C. F. Richardson, Jr., president of the seventh college, will be attending a college which is being held at Prairie View College this week, and Gilbert T. Houson, Colored Y. M. C. A., held an informal meeting with some of the boys who were delegates to this conference. The most encouraging feature of it was to note the keen interest that the college has in the activities of the men's meetings. In this connection, the secretary wishes to thank those who attended the conference. He is especially delighted at the manner in which the principals of the schools and pastors of the churches responded. Forty-five of the older boys will be for attendance at the P.V. conference.

WILEY STUDENTS PLANT TREES ON COLLEGE CAMPUS Marshall, Texas.—A beautiful custom, inaugurated during the early period of President M. W. Dogan's administration at Wiley, which is responsible in large measure for the wonderful sylvan-like appearance of the campus about which so many people remark upon visiting the institution, was observed here on Washington's birthday, with a newness of spirit that smacked of the time when this tree-planting custom was in its infancy. Every class was represented at the exercises. All types and kinds of trees suited to the soil and climate were planted. They had been spotted in the woods long before the day arrived; and early in the day special groups from each class brought these trees in to the campus. The tree-planting exercise took place with the entire student body participating. The college band furnished music for the occasion which harmonized very fittingly. President Dogan was very much gratified with the results of the day. It is common agreement that the Wiley campus offers the most attractive and inviting appearance of any among Negro colleges in this section; and that perhaps no campus anywhere is more delightful when nature is alive and in bloom. February 22, 1928 will be marked on the calendar of acenvements at Wiley College. There seems to be something pushing up, even as leaves in the general tone and spirit of the school and causing it to grow larger in prestige and influence.

Y. New York City—Witk a plea to the white South to "Let's stop being stupid"'. Howard Snyder, a white resident of Mississippi, writing in the March number of Plain Talk (225 Varlick St., New York City), tells why the Negro is leaving the South and distributing himself over the nation. First, Mr. Snyder cites the one-crop system of cotton raising with its exhaustion of the soil, the poverty and indebtedness, and is organized as part of the community and are constantly tempted to move about in the effort to better themselves. Mr. Snyder continues: "Add to all this the lynchings, mistreatment, and con BEGINNING ON A SHOE STRING (PR HARRY H. BAGE) (By HARRY H. PACE) There is a classic that goes the rounds every so often of the man who got up in one of the early sessions of the National Negro Business League and told about his beginning in the coal business. The story goes told by him, this time walking along the road one day and stumbled over a big lump of coal that had fallen out of a passing coal wagon. He picked this up, took it home and it up in his pocket, and stumbled it for a ride. He invested the heist in more coal which he sold for a quarter, wholesale, he broke this up and sold it, earning a dollar with it. He invested his heist in new equipment, four dollars from his retail sales. And by continuing to invest his recollection in new equipment, he had, within a few years, become a wealthy wholesaleaker in coal and wood, operating four yards. Of course, it didn't happen that way, but the lesson is a good George W. Cable, in one of his books, told me that his Italian characters begin in practically the same way selling baked bread. He taught me that he dipped from the apples. Within a few years this Italian was the fruit and produce man in New Orleans. The history of American business has been marked by small beginnings that have led to big financial and industrial successes. All of today had a small beginning. sidering the fact that the field NEGRO of the south is a primitive creature desperately afraid of the dreaded Ku Klux, we have another reason for the vast migration of Negroes to the South. That the South day we read of some benighted NEGRO peasant being hunted or shot people, that The South could expect these people to remain with her and uncomplainingly endure all this when she away form it, passes my understanding. The Snyder points out that even in the South it is now becoming understood that the race problem is not merely a rites issue. "With the Negro population everywhere increasing its circulation, and such far-reaching organizations as the NATIONAL ORGANIZATION of Colored People working by means of local organizations in every community to uphold the rights of the Negroes," Starting with an idea in the mind of some man oftimes no capital but his energy and his brains, he sold the idea and his integrity to his business, and he built the profits, and by hard work and the merit of his product he oftimes sold the business. Henry Ford didn't have any money to put into the making of his car. John and Horace Bussel put up the merits of the business. Louis Chevrolet made a Detroit mechanic who made the business twelve months' effort. Today Chevrolets are made at the rate of three months' effort. A few years ago a couple in a small New Jersey town began the manufacture of fudge candy, which he made in the whole equipment was the pans in their kitchen and a cooking stone.

A Newark woman was able to induce the banker to put her up a factory. A few years later she out to the plea trust for a fortune. Two young men experimented with a candy mannequin for two wives, and they could they could for jobber take it on for sale. They worked with a mannequin to walk down Sixth Avenue. This advertising followed, by other men, as performing their duties. The mannequin turned their room into a million dollar factory and increased their profits from $100,000 in 1926. There are hundreds of instances which might be, cited where white men and women, too, began the mannequin business, and developed million dollar businesses. A Cincinnati woman put up a mannequin in her home, and from store to store, it is ice be given him and urging that NG children everywhere attend elementary schools, the race problem in by no means confined to the South.

The same opportunities still exist. And, they exist for our people, too. They exist for them, too. Of them. A wide opportunity exists in food products, table delicacies, relishes, and condiments. Who can cook, bake, and preserve, or lakking pies or bread? A bake shop preparing bread, or a grandmother, and kept clean and sanitary, would draw unto itself within a short time the cream of our grandmother, and kept small. Southern-born people coming into Northern communities who prepare prepared bread or pie or meat or preserve need not look further for a chance to make money. They are not a race of pioneers.

HOWARD) (EDENOTE NOTE): This is the second of two who preside to figure in the forthcoming debate on the issue of the school will follow in regular order. The article will cover an informational poster characterizing an information campaign of the subject at the nation's university. The articles are prepared as a main line fluent in English, with concise communications in Harrington, Pa., a U. K. city where many state and national conventions are held. The author, the publisher of Howard's American Magazine, will present a new email introduction. Though a new email bank has been established, Mr. Howard retains an active email network. Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Continuing the discussion of the presidential possibilities now enclosed in the senate of the United States of America, it would be decided remix to fail of mentioning that uncompromising, steadfast and immovable principles of the American Constitution, James E. Watson of Indiana, whose governor seems to have run afoul of the law, but that's another story. Senator Watson, the tall, handsome figure who moves about the senate floor with hands invariably thrust in to his trumpet pockets, will go to Kanada to convention as a favorite son candidate. It has been said that Jim Watson is a member in good standing of the K. K. K. If this be true, he would be a most acceptable candidate, appearing for and obtaining the support all of the "one hundred percenters." On the basis of one hundred per cent American birthright, it is difficult to believe that he would be left out of consideration, if the organization is consistent. For the brother is 100 per cent, plus, the Senator James A. Reed of the Old Guard. He is one of the leaders on the Republican side of the chamber. This is simply attended to because he goes without saying he will handle Indiana's delegation to the Kansas City Convention, which has disclosed that at least two seats in the senate were obtained at great cost resulting in a lack of full representation, loops up as a big presidential possibility. It is a Democrat's responsibility to state that Mr. Reed is a Democrat. As a tongue lasher he is unexcelled. He allows him to make a mere announcement and make it carry conviction. He allows him to be on the floor, the press gallery and, in the space reserved for the public, the room where he declares him to be a handsome man with a well-rounded voice, and he is able to express his meaning, with which to express his meaning. He is a native Missourian, having been born in Kansas City. He is a lawyer, and achieved wide fame in the state as a legal luminary before coming to the senate. This reputation followed him into his national life, and all who have heard him conduct a cross examination in the slush fund inquiry concede that he merits the reputation. The legal profession throughout the country is in agreement that a man who can demand, and receive a hundred thousand dollar fee for his services is a lawyer of no mean ability. Senator Reed is of presidential size; and it is thought by some people that he is a close runner-up on Governor Al Smith of New York for the Democratic nomination. He is a Wet and seems to be proud of the fact; a friend of the farmer, is without objections, from big business; and should he receive the Democratic nomination, will unbesitatingly tell the world where he stands on all questions at issue in the public mind, for he has the courage of his convictions, and has already declared himself on most of the subjects of public interest. Senator Carter G. Glass of Virginia, recently remarked in the course E. O. Manoleo II. *Munchen Medizinische Wochenschrift*, December 18, 1925), describes a series of tests undertaken on the blood of Jews, Russians, and Ukrainians. One drop of a 1 per cent alcohol solution of 1 per cent of the blood of a 3 to 5 per cent emulsion of blood cells, obtained from the subject under examination, and after stirring, 5 drops of a 1 per cent alcohol solution of silver nitrate, 1 drop of a 40 per cent solution of hydrochloric acid and 3 to 5 drops of a freshly prepared solution of hydrochloric acid. The permanganate were added successfully. The author found that creosyl-violet disappears in the blood taken from Jews which becomes blue. While he fluid remains a bluish-widened blood from Russians. He had 187 correct results in 2022 tests. Manoleo II. *Munchen Medizinische Wochenschrift*, the blood of Russians and Ukrainians. The children from mixed marriages (father Russian, mother Jewish, Polish, or armenian) gave a faster reaction than pure Russians. No difference from the Russian was noted in children from inter-marriage between Russians and the German or yellow race. These differences are at greater speed of oxidation in Jewish Russian as compared with the Russian. This subject grows more and more interesting, and it is quite possible that the majority of the population may be fixed by chemical analysis. However, when the time comes, much difficulty will be experienced in determining the blood of mixed race, such as the Negro in America represents. Then, too, much difficulty will be experienced in determining the blood of racial findings will make the procedure more unpopular with whites than with Negroes, and the remaining vitality of the victim to forget the formula and cast it into utter darkness. The blood of pure racial stock—and such is rare in the United States—will be tested in real tests, but for a long time those of mixed blood are safe so far as the revelations of the test tube are concerned. Of a discussion of the violations of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments on the floor of the senate that the House of Representatives would never see a Southern man elected president of the United States. With no intent to dispute the prophecies and vision of the ex-secretary of the treasury who served in the Senate, South Carolina at least, has determined to make a try for the nomination in the Houston convention of the Democratic par Senator Walter P. George of Georgia has announced himself as a candidate. We don't know much about George, except that he was born in Georgia during reconstruction days, and recalling the history of the state with due regard for geographical location, if Senator George is sincere in his expressed ambition, he has not been discouraged by Senator Glass' prophecies. He is hopeful of winning and is backed by the state that produced our own Henry Lincoln Johnson, and where Ben Davis today dominates such Republicans as there are. There are those, however, who intimate that this Democrat is in reality bidding for vice-presidency, should Al Smith, or some other Northern man be named to top the ticket. Senator George is a quiet unassuming gentleman who represents the minority on many important committees, but who would displayed nothing that would lead a personal�over find in him presidential qualifications. One can never tell, and the people of Georgia set him forth as a favorite son, and it is presumed they know what they want. His attitude on the Negro must be inferred for he has given no definite expression in debate or by way of introducing: fanatical bills as so many Southern senators have been in the habit of doing.

A-381, Atlanta, Ga. PALMER'S MIN TENER Meldrim, Ga.—(ANP)—Following a request signed by a large number of white citizens that the body of Miss Marie G. Underwood, a colored woman, be removed from the white burying ground, a group of unknown parties here Monday night removed the body and reinterred it in the cemetery for Negroes. The body of Miss Underwood was buried in the white cemetery in compliance with a dying request that she be buried in the lot of the Mattox family, for whom she had worked twenty-two years. A petition that her request be granted was circulated and generally signed by white citizens. The funeral services were held in the church, officiating and a white chair furnishing the music. Only a few Negroes attended. After the body had remained in the white cemetery for five days, a grave was removed. The request was not granted, and Tuesday morning an open cemetery was found, and a new grave was found in the Negro cemetery. Police are endevouring to gobble and promise to indict them if apprehended. The whole air pre-occupied by mystery which is the topic of discussion.

The magistrate asked for a song, and the quintet, in their Southland, which so pleased the court that another was asked for.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURADY, MARCH 3, 1928 Pullman Porters Hail With Delight Hutcheson Order Kansas City, Mo.—The Association of Clerical Employees, a company union with rules governing wages and working conditions similar to the Pullman Company employee representation plan, and established in opposition to the Brotherhood of Railroad Workers, also joined the United States Judge J. C. Hutcheson of Houston, Texas, recently. Judge Hutcheson also ordered the Southern Pacific Railway Company to recognize the brotherhood, and tq pay $2000 to cover attorney fees in the case. The decree was given as a remedial order, prohibiting the railway officials from interfering with the company operations. Three employees discharged for alleged affiliation with the brotherhood and salary losses made good. "If this order is not carried out," said Judge Hutcheson, "the court will impose sanctions and cause you to be committed." Pulman porters regard this as a significant victory inasmuch as they are made to suffer loss in time and money. The company union (employee representation plan) and are dismissed from their activities with their union.

Gore, former head of the Chicago Crime Commission, that 40 per cent of the crime in Chicago was by Negroes, Bernard W. Snow, bailiff of the municipal court, in an interview expressed the opinion that much of the crime that was charged to Negros "might be prevented and individuals saved from a criminal life if there were proper organizations among the thoughtful colored people themselves to assume the task of educating large and careless classes in the responsibilities of citizenship, and to teach the necessity for respecting the rights of others." Mr. Snow, who has made a special study of Negro crime, said, after pointing out to need for proper organized groups to teach and aid those who might be criminally inclined, "There is need for effective agencies to improve the mutual understanding between courts and litigants, in and out of court. There are lawyers and even court attaches who prey upon the ignorant as well as consciencless harpics, who plunder the ignorant and helpless. All those things and spirit of distrust and hostility towards the very laws and law enforcement that are, in fact, the sole protection of the weak. "Most of the various racial groups of the city have organized agencies with the men and women, boys and girls, of their groups to aid and protection to the men and women, boys and girls, of their groups to the individual from becoming a permanent criminal. The Negroes, as a result of this version of this character for their wards, there is, however, evidence of an awakening to the responsibility. One of the organizations which has taken on new life is the Associated Big Group. Therefore, we find that colored people use us to realize the causes of the trouble and acknowledge the efforts of the people in the race are making to improve the situation, instead of merely pointing helplessly to maps and charis and to help us to phasize what we already know only too well. A bailiff has taken steps himself to aid in preventing crime by helping boys and girls who are without employment and better living conditions. KEYES, THE ATTORNEY VS HICKMAN. THE "FOX" BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) In prosecuting Hickman, the fund ported to have shouted to the jury: "It was only for the fact that we are civilized that a mob did not take this man from the officers of the law, and if was not that I was an officer of the law, I should have wanted to be in the front ranks of such a mob to help put a rope around this man's neck." Keyes almost confesses in that logic that he is not "civilized." If a man could be forgiven for losing his self-restraint anywhere, he certainly should be forgiven for losing it when dealing with a case like this Hickman. But an officer of the law is hardly to be forgiven for so completely losing control of his tongue as to make such an attack upon the dignity of law and to lend such comfort to the mobbish minds of his fellow-citizens, many of whom are even far less civilized than he. However he felt about it, the prosecuting attorney, representing the forces of orderly civilization, is in a position that calls for a guarded, not a reckless tongue. And Californians are not as "civilized" as the district attorney implies, for they did lynch one prisoner whom they mistook for Hickman. It is our claim that in an organized society, a mob who lynches friends about the friend—not for the sake of the friend, but for the sake of the innocent, is more dangerous than a danger under rule than is the friend. The friends of society can cope with more better than can innocent. We can forgive irresponsible and less tolerant citizens for violent and reckless behavior, but such a speech from an officer of the state is itself a crime. towards Hickman just as Keyes fechs, but who nevertheless did a lawful action, is our ideal of a "civilized man." promptly.

The right for a place in the Republican party is to be between the Cohen and Kunkz clan. Numerous visitations are being made to the Cohen and Kunkz states. In company with several Northern white Republicans, Melvin national Negro Press Association, is in town and it is said he is prospecting for obligates. It has been known for the secretary, who is known by his intimates, has been energetically enlightened for the June convention. Mr. Chinum came in Oklahoma and Texas to attend the convention, where "there will be some astounding realignments in the presidential lineup within the next few days." He remarks, he said, "There is confusion everywhere, and it was left for Honorary Speech to bring out the name of Ambassador Wright Morrow. Mr. Hilles really New York speaks the world taken to speak. Is that clear enough for you?" It wasn't, but it was the only geranium from the association secretary. BY ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON (For the Associated Negro Press) Sometimes last spring a little group of both races met in the Friends of Philadelphia, and put their heads together for a conference. It was a conference, which lasted two days, was a pretty frank and open threshold of interracial cooperation and the interracial attitude toward world peace. There was no difference of opinion. The only question was how to educate the United States to an acceptance of interracial relationships and adoption of a nationwide policy of open-mindedness and helpfulness to Negro's struggles for mental freedom. Eventually an organization was started. Leslie Pinkney Hill principal of Cheyney Normal School, was chosen temporary chairman. Ray Newton, a well-known Quaker of the American Friends' service committee, temporary secretary. Dr. Wilbur Thomas, also of the committee, was made temporary treasurer. Months went by. Mr. Hill worked hard to send the message through the representative colored people. The American Friends service committee set aside a space in its building for the work of the "American Inter-Racial Peace Committee," as the new committee was named. A young colored woman from Philadelphia, Miss Helen Seth, was installed as strenographer of one of the groups in the building. The idea grew, slowly, but firmly, like a ball of snow gaining momentum and size as it rolls down a lane. On December 29, the annual meeting was held, at which time the constitution and bylaws were adopted, and officers for the service year elected. Leslie Pinkney Hill, chairman of Dr. Wilbur Thomas, treasurer; Alice Dunbur-Nelson, executive secretary. And now comes the very natural question which the layman will ask. What is all about, and what does this new committee a part and parcel and yet distinct body of the American Friends service committee, hope to accomplish? First, it hopes to develop and enlist the active support of the Negroes of America in the cause of peace. To promote an active educational campaign among our people for the purpose of enlightening the race as to the complete futility of the war spirit, the world over, and as to the supreme importance of understanding and opposing the principles of peace. To prevent the nation and to the world those talents and accomplishments of Negroes that may serve the cause of peace. To seek for the Negro the open door of fraternal cooperation with all those agencies—industrial, social, religious and political—devoted to the cause of peace. To stimulate a public peace opinion in the present and on the platform. To implement the policy of the National Government of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States; and the spirit of the Prince of Peace. To teach the fundamental equality of all races, while joining hands with all those organizations that are aiming to make war in the future impossible. A big program? Certainly, but not any bigger than was the platform of the abolitionists, or of the advocates of the impoveriture of the infrastructure. And surely he could be no greater ideal for which to work than the abolition of wholesale murder. Some of the names which appear on the committee are: Thomas J. Anderson, Ruth L. Bennett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Crystal Bird, Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Eunice Hunton Carter, George L. Collins, Addie W. Dickerson, Anne M. Dingle, W. E. B. DuBois, Howard N. Elkinton, Joseph R.

It is estimated that business in force on colored lives at the end of 1926 was $1,295,000,000; total insurance in force in all Negro companies, $300,000,000; total insurance in force on colored lives in a year of 1,000,000,000; total premium paid by Negroes on insurance, $50,000,000; total premium paid by Negroes to Negro companies, per year, $13,000,000; number of persons employed by Negroes companies, 9,000; number of Negroes employed by white insurance companies, in re-entry of all Negro companies of all Negro companies (the greater proportion of which is invested in homes and farms), $11,000,000. Thus, it can be seen that though we have strong insurance companies carrying 26% of the total plexing economic problem confronting the Negro insurance companies carry about 26% of the total plexing economic problem that 74% is taken into other companies owned and operated by other race and is taken out by a post-mortem capacity. Let's observe National Negro Insurance Week by either taking out insurance companies, or where we already have some insurance, by increasing the number of Negroes concerned in our dead, or in our living also, as is evidenced by the large number of Negroes over $600) in National Negro Insurance companies. From various sections of the country come reports concerning the unemployment situation, particularly as to the Negroes in the United States, we are in receipt of a letter from Attorney A. O. McKenzie in Diego, Mexico, to the Negroes as Negroes, in ques of employment or securing the famed elysian fields, to the Negroes in Mexico, in his letter, Mr. McKevle writes. "Recently, parties who came from Houston, Texas, to San Diego County, Calif., were unable to secure employment and were furnished free transportation back to Houston by charity. Your home people should be advised that employment, at a living wage, is not to be had in San Diego, which should help and save further embarrassment of this respect. We have free chop suey parlor here, and about 30 charitable organizations doing high-gear work in the care of unfortunately from the East and elsewhere, who are led to believe, through unwarranted information, that Southern California is a 'Haven of Rest,' which is an exploded idea only so far as favorable labor conditions are concerned. In 1927, one welfare society, alone, spent over $26,000 for relief and help. Mexico furnishes the booze and we California boosters furnish the 'bull' and climate for nourishment." In concluding, this California lawyer advises that no Negro should come to San Diego without money to live on, or with which to purchase ticket back to his "home, sweet home." After all, the lamented Booker T. Washington preached a sound gospel, when he urged the Negro to "let down his bucket" where he is, and to become a producer rather than a mere consumer. It is told that an African, tired of sectional hostility, all his belongings on his beats of burden and departed for more virgin and inviting fields, and he was sent to the field which this native African had deserted, was one of the richest diasporas of Africa.

Editor The Informer: It is not my ambition to indulge in or encourage public controversy. I am reluctant to discuss freely my perceptions of the situation because of (1), danger of being misunderstood by a people that, is more or less religiously ignorant and intolerate; (2), the apparent hopelessness of our religious situation, organic and otherwise; and (3), press of duties within my profession, which may be considered by many as being apart from the ordinary experience. I cannot refrain, however, from commending Professor William Coleman and The Informer's editor for their constructive observations related to the mission of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas.

The serious intelligent concern of those Christian men in the affairs of the denomination is shared by hundreds of others in Texas, who, because of certain lamentable conditions, are deprived of their birthright of democratic participation. To that extent, at least, organized Christianity in this state among Negroes is materially hampered. Professor Coleman rightly challenges the denomination of pug more religious into its business; The Informer's editor makes a true charge that “bossism, big stick methods, steam roller tactics, and ward politics” and “greed and gain” are at the root of our denominational troubles. The conditions justify both the admonition and the accusation. More can be said. Growth in culture will involve the race increasingly in complex business and social relations, and demands a more frightened Christian conceptification than that held by Negroes generally in Texas or elsewhere. A religious practice which propagates fear, appeals only to the emotions, insists on blind conformity and religiouous ignorance, takes no account of progress, and prompts its adherents to fight over dry bones, will neither cultivate in the race a living faith nor develop in it an integrity that is reliable in business as is in protracted sermons, loud prayers, and inconsistent testimony.

FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Id. 1522, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 4 JEUS AND THE TWELVE TOPIC TOMORROW • Mark 12:11-17; 8:13- GOLDEN TEXT • Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel unto everyone. PRIMARY TOPIC — Jesus Chooses Twelve Helpers 1. The Twelve Ordained (Mark 3:13-18), knowing that He the earthly career would be cut short, made provision for the carrying forward of His work after He was gone by calling and ordaining the twelve. Before doing this He was called by the Lord (Luke 6:12). The burden of His prayer is indicated by what He immediately did. From among His disciples He chose twelve, whom He ordained. "That they might be with Him" (v. 14), with the Lord is not only the highest privilege of a disciple but the indispensable qualification for witnessing for Him. Personal association with Jesus Christ—the interaction with the Lord, personal personality upon ours is the essential preparation for Christian service. 2. "That he might send them forth to preach" (v. 14, 15). 3. "news of news of navigation to the lost world was the supreme mission of the disciples. Their credential for this mission was the one to heal the sick and to heal the sick and to cast out devil" (v. 15). Concerning those who were to be Christ's messengers objected (1) that twelve were ordained (v. 14). This was the beginning of the mission. "To make known His grace to make known His grace to the whole world, therefore he sends forth the number of men corresponding to that mission to the product of the heavenly three and the earthly four indicating the purpose of the trune God to reveal Himself to them." (2) Their characteristics. (a) Men of average ability. They were not from schools and colleges, yet men of high ability. They have been the history of the Christian church. Not many noble, not many wise after the flesh are called (if Cor. 11.1). They were not chosen from among the rich, neither from among papers. The most efficient workers are those of the common people. (c) Diverse temperamental gifts. They were so grouped as to have impulse and leadership—not only in the work, but together, and among them were found of manal business ability. (1) The Twelve Sent Fort (Mark 6.1). (2) They were sent forth in pars (v. 7). Two reasons may be assigned for the cheerling and comforting companionship for the workers. (2) Confirmation of testimony. In the mouth of two or three witnesses the cheerling would probably more likely believe that which was verified by two. (2) Supernatural authentication of the mission (v. 7). He gave them power to help them do their work with power to work miracles, in order to demonstrate their divine commission. (v. 8.9). They were to depend wholly for their support upon the Lord who sent them. Having received the message from the Lord, they were to give them out in the same way (Matt. 10:9). 4. Contentment with hospitality (v. 10:11). According to Matt. 10:11, inquiry was to be made upon entering a city as to a republicate place to stay. Upon entering the city, judgment was to be content. 5. The responsibilities of the bearer of judgment was to be pronounced upon those who rejected their message. 6. Their message and work (v. 12:12). 7. They went out and preached that men should repent. Matthew added, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matt. 10:7). This means that the message was to be delivered to the hand, that the Messiah was present and ready to set up His kingdom. In confirmation of this message they cast their eyes upon the Lord, and many that were sick, and healed them. God's Overflowing Love There is such a thing as putting ourselves in the way of God's overseeing and letting it be upon them.

A SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTS Many merchants, through no fault of their own, but because of the misfortunes of youth which denied them the training, and many others, who in their earlier mercantile days did not realize the need, are withholding their training. The Federal Trade Commission of the United States government, in an effort to relieve this situation, released in 1920, through the government printing office a pamphlet entitled "A System of Accounts for Retail Merchants." The volume is a simple and easily understood explanation of details of correct cost accounting for the small business organization. Without a proper cost accounting system, the merchant is unable to conduct his business upon sound business principles or to properly price the goods he offers for sale. Neither is the merchant without an adequate bookkeeping system able to command favorable consideration with his bank. Even though a merchant be successful, if he has no records with which to verify the fact to his bank, he is regarded as a poor credit risk. Banks insist upon knowing if a merchant is making a proper provision in his everyday transactions for depreciation of stock, building and fixtures. The accounting system outlined in this publication, and the accounting system used by the Department of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce for the answering of inquiries upon the subject, is so arranged that by following it, overhead may be ascertained, the proper percentage to add to the cost of goods may be known. But four books are required to operate the system. One needs a journal, general cash book, invoice book, and a ledger. The use to which each of these should be put is able described in the pamphlet. So is the making use of sales tickets, monthly summaries, profit and loss statements. There is an explanation of the cash on hand and in bank item, the notes receivable, reserve for bad debts, accrued interest receivable, store property, and other assets. The notes receivable, these are but a few of the 45 items that enter into the system. The bureau of business research of Harvard University assisted the government agencies in the preparation of these documents. The adoption and use of the system is recommended by the Domestic Commerce Division to merchants who have not already installed a system of name sort into their business activities. An inquiry to either of the government agencies mentioned will obtain the instructive publication that JOURNAL AND GUIDE SURVEY FILED Among the interesting memoranda on markets that have recently been sent in to the Domestic Commercial Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Intl. Trade, the most important are the Norfolk Negro Market," compiled by the Norfolk Journal and Guide, a quickly newspaper published in Norfolk and circulated in the Tidewater survey. The survey includes eighteen counties regarded by the publishers as the trading territory of Norfolk. The Negro population of these counties is the largest among the population groups, accounted for 85% of the县城 is inflicted in the figure. The county value of their real estate and personal property as given by the state and/or Virginia is $45,175,828. The assessed value of Negro owned farms in those counties is $18,925,000. The county group is given as totaling $250,000, and the annual earnings is given as $300,000,000. 82% of literacy is reported. states the chapter devoted to detailing the city, "with 85% of the heads of the families being home owners." This, it would seem, is an excellent showing for any community or population that have a genuine interest in the market. "DEAR OLD SOUTHLAND" SET TO MUSIC OF MONEY "Dear Southland, I Hear You Calling Me," so sang the romantic-minded, repeating a bit of homing instinct of the colored minstrel in a song by the composer of the song "The Commercial Survey of the Southeast" recently released by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, a fellow has to be very calico minded not to appreciate the apparent similarity that call from that same Southland through the pages of the volume.

A measure of this is in all of us I have heard leaders (?) who proposed great love for black people designate them as "neglgers" as soon as their backs were turned. There is no man who loves and believes in Negrues who is not angered by the use of this term in reference to the race. Negrues who use the term commonly do so because race-pride has never been developed. The favourite speeches we make are largely influenced by what we think will please the general public and the articles we write are colored, and largely by what we think will be popular; but unless down in our hearts we believe what we are saying, then we are HYPOCRITES and men will find us out. Let us return to the propaganda follow. It pleases a certain unthinking class to lamhat people of other races or people in a higher class, but men who ring on this kur popular will lose out with fair-minded folk. The paper that makes it a policy to LAMBAST white folk never showing the other side will fail; for there is a sense of fairness in men and they will weigh over on the other side of stigmatization. Finally they find that men who fasten on propaganda never have anything constructive; with which to arouse enthusiasm. The masses of Negroes KNOW that there is an unfairminded white man and they KNOW that there is another kind. Common sense teaches them that were the white race to take their jobs and the chance to earn their bread that most of us would starve; for the Negro merchant and professional man is dependent upon the wage of classes who labor for white business. Many whites hire black people under pressure of blame from ignorant, prejudiced whites. This type swept out the Atlanta Barber Law. Turning to the charges made above, they were not true.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAD AFTERFIRST, AND MORE AND MORE SHOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROSEVELY HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY. MARCH 3. 1928 TEXAS DELEGATION AND HOOVER! In supporting Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, The Hoover Informer, as mentioned in the editorial endorsement of last week, was a national leader in the American national regime in Texas had landed in the Hoover band wagon. In fact, prior to the bicentennial convention of 1920, when the present Republican administration in this state was striving frantically to gain control of the postoffices and other federal jobs, after eight years' absence due to Democratic reign, and to feast on the success of his campaign, an editorial supporting Mr. Hoover for the presidency; but added that it was reared the party "bosses" would hardly look favorably upon Mr. Hoover's candidacy, due to his connection with a Democratic national administration and his disregard for the party's policies. Well, Mr. Hoover looks just as good to The Informer as ever—in fact, he looks better at this angle, for during the past seven years as secretary of department of commerce of the United States, he has demonstrated to all that he is presidential timetable; that he believes in efficiency and proficiency in government; that he is a strong supporter of the masses of American citizens; that he has the respect, confidence and goodwill of American electors who believe and contend for honesty and efficiency in the conduct of governmental affairs. Yes Mr. Hoover certainly looks good to us—except for some issues, which he throws on him by a few political manipulators who are now standing back of him and ostensibly pushing his cause in the Lone Star State. What assurance have we that the present Republican regime in Texas really wants Mr. Hoover nominated and elected? Despite the fact that this partisan faction is standing for Mr. Hoover, they only stepped there for reasons best known to themselves. Since Mr. Hoover is not a stamach "organization" man and does not advocate strict adherence to the doctrine of party orthodoxy, it is hard to convince The Informer that the Texas Republican regime will play a role in ploysing for standard-bearer on the national ticket of the party who holds such party views as Mr. Hoover is supposed to hold in this respect. Furthermore, who can tell what the course this Republic regime will take, in the event their "state" is elected as electorate, that is, that they will be a standard-bearer for City, Mo., June 12, 1928, if we are to judge future partisan actions by past political performances? A political party which supports a prohibitionist for office one time and an anti-prohibitionist at the next election; which trots in the party which changes its constitution and backs a plus candidate for governor in 1924; which urges the election of a Republican congressman from a congressional district in 1920, 1922, 1924 and then stubbornly opposes and bitterly fights that same congressman's re-election in 1926; a party "macho" which changes almost every regulation and backs a plus candidate with ends against the middle; which tries to blow hot and cold at the time; which makes an effort to run with the hound and the hare—any such partisan organization can hardly be trusted to remain steadfast and loyal in the face of a deadlock in balloting for party presidential nominee, not even in a National Republican Con- The Informer wonders if the present party "machine" in Texas, if elected as delegates and alternates to the June convention at Kansas City will stand by Mr. Hoover first, last and always, and if elected as delegates and alternates to the Harding compromise and elected a national administration which was dominated largely by political tricksters and partisan gangsters, until public sentiment arose in its might against that crooked clique and forced them into the political discard, and carried President Harding, the unfortunate victim of that mature grave? We have always heard that a half-friend is worse than a whole enemy, and this is just as true in political affairs as in other lines; and it is up to the genuine Hoover supporters in Kansas City to be the first to declare that delegates are elected at the Republican state convention in Dallas, Tuesday, May 22, 1928, who will neither double-cross nor "ditch" the Hoover cause at the least furry or under the guise of political exigency and vertisian expediency. The Informer is unmistakably opposed to setting a delegation to stay in there, and not be depended upon to "stay in there and light" for Mr. Hoover's nomination through "thick and thin". The Informer would be willing to wager a dollar to a ginger snap (if its editor were a betting man) that there will not be a winner, and that the Texas delegation will just like the Texas party "bosses" want him to vote. Of course, it is probable that they will stay with Hoover until Mr. Creager thinks that Mr. Hoover can not win the presidential nomination, and then who knows but that the Texas delegation will vote for the compromise choice of Creager and the other with the fact that it is rumored that word has already been down the line as to the line-up of Texas Republican America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper delegates and alternates to the national party gathering, and notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Creager is supposed to be "shelling the woods" in the state for Mr. Hoover, it is interesting to observe that none but rabid, dyeed-in-the-wool, pro-communist Democrats are attending the delegation—in the main, the delegation, as already decided upon by the party bosses several months in advance of the state convention, is practically the same as in 1920 and 1924, with one or two possible exceptions. Texas are wise, whether they be pro-Hoover or anti-Hoover, they will bestir themselves and organize their forces to participate in the precinct conventions called under the authority of the Creager-Nolte administration, which are due to be held in the various voting precincts of the state. At these precinct conventions the voters of their respective precincts will elect delegates to the county conventions, which will be held Tuesday, May 8, 1928, at some place designated in advance by the county chairmen of the party organization. At the time of the convention, the party convention which will convene at Dallas, Tuesday, May 22, 1928.

The Informer suggests that the black Republicans of Texas, who favor and are friendly to Hoover's candidacy, or who even favor electing an uninstructed delegation to the National Republican Convention, hold a statewide conference in the immediate future, and there counsel and lay plans for wrestling the Democratic Party. The Republican Inc., distributors de luxe of federal patronage; to see that all Republican electors have a voice and vote in all conventions in the state, beginning with precinct and ending with state, and that Texas will not send a delegation to the national meeting which will re-enact the famous stunt of 1920. If the Texas Negroes will organize their forces and profit by the state, they will also they can effect their partisan freedom and political emancipation during 1928—for if we do not liberate ourselves during this year, we are doomed to partisan extinction and political oblivion. SUCH RECOGNITION DUE NEGRO RACE The Austin delegation of Negro citizens, headed by Louis D. Lyons, well-known Capital City merchant, fraternalist and leader, who recently petitioned the state board of control to employ Negros to look after Negro inmates at the three state elemen- nary institutions at Austin, Terrell and Rusk, acted within their rights as tax-paying citizens, and presented for considera- tion a matter of vital concern and interest both to the Negro race and the state of Texas. As pointed out by the delegation, the time has arrived in this state and the South when such recognition should be accorded to the African-American community, and more compo- nent to discharge the duties incumbent upon such responsible positions. It is also a fact that a Negro physician, dentist or nurse will naturally manifest more personal interest in and be more sympa- thetic to the African-American community than they are physician or nurse can reasonably be; for the adage that "blood is thicker than water" has become axiomatic in this and other respects. It was not and is not the desire of this delegation, which repre- sent the African-American community, Negro and no small number of white citizens (who hold similar views on this subject), to oust or remove white professionals from such places because of racial feeling or prejudice; but to afford the Negro race an opportunity to function as full-fledged American citizens and to contribute their part in assisting the state of Texas in its efforts to improve these human wrecks who are inmates of these state institutions. Looked at from another angle, it is nothing more nor less than a fair chance for the Negro to serve his people, whether they be inmates of an elemen­nary institution operated by the state, or freeholders in and residents of our various communi- There was a time when many white people looked akance at Negro doctors, dentists and nurses, and held to the erroneous idea that no black man or woman could master the science of medicine, surgery, dentistry and nursing; but there are few, if any, who can be competent in these areas, can be no objection or opposition on the ground that Negro professionals are not competent and prepared to render this and other types of humanitarian service. With some of the members of the state board of control publicly stating that they favor such a proposition, if it can be satisfactorily supported, they can act as facilitators to him "and should be placed in effect if the proper arrangements can be made," and promising to take up the matter with the heads of the three state institutions at Austin, Terrell and Rusk, it is hoped that some plan will be evolved whereby this field of humanitarian work and professional service can be re rendered to Negro inmates and patients by members of the team. The Informer takes this occasion to commend Mr. Lyons and his wide-awake committee for the presentation of this matter to the state board of control—for talking at the "big house," for too often we meet, "resolve" and "whereas," but our talks and resolutions seldom, if ever, get out of our assembly hall or place, and so that, to whom we should direct our appeal and petition, never know about it, unless they read about it in some newspaper. HUMAN LIFE ENTIRELY TOO CHEAP! Apparently, dissatisfied with the decimation of Houston's Negro population by the Grim Reaper through disease, illness and senility, our people, judging from the large number of murders committed here within the last week or two, seem determined to hang up a new homicide record for Houston and Harris County. With three murders staged last Sunday and one Monday night, not to mention two or three during the previous week, there appear to be many cases of the crime in this city's colony population during last fall, when so many crimes were committed by or charged to the hand of the Negro race here, that The Informer was forced to give editorial cognizance of such an unsavory and criminal situation, and call upon leaders, both white and black, to take some steps to prevent such an act of officiating. Too light an estimate is placed upon human life in this city, county and state, particularly where Negroes murder members of their own race; and the attitude so often assumed in this regard by the law-enforcing agencies and the light sentences imposed on them are also potent factors in stimulating criminally-inclined Negroes to perpetrate all types of crimes. The stiff arm of the law should stretch forth and mete out to all guilty murderers the maximum penalty allowed under the law, and the penalty for those who lawlessness and criminality, like an epidemic or flood, can not be confined to any one particular channel or race. In other words, if Negroes can kill members of their race for the least provocation and for no provocation at all, they will soon seek justice at other punishments, and then trouble, and summary, will be the result. Judges and jurors can do much to alter this local situation, it is likely that such culprits are given the sentence of deservedness; for human beings, the community, and, if these murders and other crimes continue, we shall be forced to refer to our fair city as "Hellish" rather than as "Judges." OPINIONS Democratic Pot vs Republican Kettle BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Who are the more unpatriotic? that into the late Senator Tillie South Carolina, upon his own fifteenth amendments, or those who nullify the eighteenth amendment? Is William McAdoo or Nicholas Murray Butler the greater defender of the rights of the minority appropriation which was led to by a fellow Democrat from the treasury declared that those who nullify the prohibition amendment are traitors. The rejoinder in certain and swift, Mr. McAdoo cannot go on repeating poll parlor like the former president, but he must catch the political creeper or covert basis of ignoring the Civil War amendments. If President Butler is not a traitor, what is he? He is not a traitor for sins we are inclined to be damning, those we have no mind to. The over enforcement of the Clintons' protective device against the stigma of its own blackness. When the clinton administration accused of failure to uphold the libration provision. When the clinton administration accused of failure to uphold the uncomfortable recipient relieves his feeling by calling his assault on our rights for fully a generalization in any serious protest. The tion that the late Senator Tillman of South Carolina, upon his own request, sent a letter to the senator asking for dollar bills for a new Freedman's Hospital building. Congressman Hankan's spirited defense of Howard University appropriation when it was objected to his insistence. These instances are like the ones in the desert. But even the reflection in the letter, repeating poll parrot like the political maxima of two generations ago, is not enough to live as they rise. He must learn to ascribe and apportion good and bad.

The Republican party is charged with had faith in reviving agitation over the amendments as retaliation for being accused of failure to uphold the prohibition on abortion had been deprived of his constitutional rights for fully a generation with the right to have children and had become as silent as the grave. South might go on violating the constitution to its heart's content so long as it does not support the North of the North, this tailormade threat in good faith, or it may forecedure Southern criticism. For more than two generations, the Democratic party has had a trailing edge in the presidential stagnated as the party of slavery, disunion and rebellion. Its name has been stained by its espousal of the party of slavery. On the other hand, the grand old party was conceived in righteousness and moral attitudes have been regarded as being as far apart as right and wrong in Africa. The late Senator Robert F. Kennedy insisted in the heat of a campaign that a Republican horse thief was not a criminal. He sought to explain that the validity of a logical deduction depends upon the correct use of a logical deduction that was no such thing in Kansas as a Republican horse thief or a Democratic Sunday school superintendent.

Senator Swanon of Virginia has declared from his place on the South neither intends to obey in spirit the fifteenth amendment to the fourteenth. For the sake of saving discussion, let the sake of granting constitutions to the devices serves with the technical letter of the fifteenth amendment that the validity has repeatedly upheld the supreme court. Yet the violation of the fourteenth amendment is as plain as the constitution provides that any state which cuts down on any reason why the property should have its rights cut down in proportion. Any property age and of the male sex must offer the penalty for such exclusion. The proper age and of the male sex must offer the penalty for such exclusion. The proper age and of the male sex must offer the penalty for such exclusion. But congress does not exert its obligation and the law remains in effect. SHADOWS And I shall do tonight as I Have done so oft before, Have done so often next steps, And open the front door, And hang my hat upon the rack, And look about to see If I have sent the mail Has brought something for me. But since the early days, the Republican party has been resisting the moral repentance while its adversary has been steadily rising. Indeed, the minority party has over the responsible majority. The party has responsibility to use the expedient means to plush governmental ends which the irresponsible minority will criticize Then, after quiet intervals, We shall go overhead, We shall slip upstairs, And shall slip into bed. Thus comes the end of every day— The shadows in the hall, A hall even over the book, And silence over all. No one expects the culprit to exert its own weight and influence in the South, but the political fool would expect the South to urge reduction against its own weight and influence in the North, the speech of the South, speaking for that section, definitely declares that they will support the fourteenth amendment, it is high time for the majority to act or for the South to defend the fourteenth amendment or integrity of the constitution. The constitution will be amended, the parliament will be South to defend the fourteenth amendment and the North the eighteenth amendment with impunity and the South will be straightened, force, the constitution, otherwise this nation will be governed by eyes and in the eyes of the man. The grand old party has proved apostate to the rights of man, which constituted the chief cause of its life. The state of America has flowed into Democratic adversary to jockey it into the less righteous side in almost every controversy. It has opposed the same, which merely is fairer trade. It took away the independence of Hawaii, the Philippines, Hayti, San Domingo, Mexico and Nicaragua, while the Democratic party has more than two. The redemption is an eighty-year. The Republican party would make the stars and stripes a trade mark to build up mammoth-like material. The party is according to the charge of its political adversary. The League of Nations was espoused by the party of Jefferson Davis and John C. Fabbath, the first leader of the party. The party has three years, the Democrats have been turning heaven and earth to the state of America, and the party is exposture to the party of the party. The party has stood by without a word of moral indignation. The Democratic party, four years ago, sent over the institution the Kluiz Kluiz. The Republican can majority stated an investigation in the senate which came to a sudden and fruitless end under cirrhousness which is the first of all a decision of guilty complexity. On the issue of prohibition which is rarely a question of obedience or disobedience, the law may be more difficult to be made to hold a grand old party will be made to hold within the veil, while that of its rival val treaties to be rent in twain. On the matter of excessive camouflage the money is not always falls on the side of the Democratic party. In face of all of these things the party of Lincoln, Grant and the party of the party of the party are the most grandeur of days past and gone, but must face the judgment on its more recent commitments the parties now stand, there is a criminal jurisdiction with like justification on both sides.

FISHER On Monday morning, February 13, a great soot, in the person of Mrs. Francis Washington, west out to meet its maker. Mrs. Washington was one of the people who helped her and in her passing her community, her church and her home sustained a great loss. Her funeral was conducted from Friendship Baptist Church, West Dallas and Helder St. (of which she was a member of the congregation) to the ashes of McKenna Taborne No. 21. Rev. John W. Watkins officiated. The following program was rendered: Song by the choir; scripture reading; Dr. B. McColleen; B. McColleen; five talks by Dr. Burdett, Cahill, Williams, McCullough, and McCullough as a "Friend," Mrs. S. Williams, by the choir. The last and most important reading of the reading of a Valentine purchased by her young daughter, Mrs. M. J. valentine was read by Mrs. E. S. Kearns, because "mother" passed away just one day before Valentine day. But it was the great gray casket for "mother." The Negro race has been fed on partisan prejudice and the Negro politician's mind is of the Borbon type; it neither learns nor forgets the past. Black people daydied in South Carolina, I was fed on the North Carolina good thing come from the Democratic, and no evil thing from the Republican. We all best, white the other at its worst.

He usually takes occurrences on their face value. Nearly every person he meets greets and every unkind word uttered against colorized race comes from him. But after all, this is a matter of latitude rather than political alignment. I can recall but an incident where the colorized citizens of the District of Columbia took up one morning and found that an unidentified man was duced by Republicans and had passed that body unanimously without discussion. I can also recall that Confederate appropriation to Howard University against the assault of an aggressive group of Fédérés American.
