Statewide Conference, Dallas, Mar. 24 --- FINAL EDITION VOLUME IX Apparently, living up to the name of "globe trotter," dubbed or dabbed rumble and usanderings during last summer, this columnist has made another quick (the news) world tour since our last epistle in this department. Our latest excursion (trip) was to the Northwest since our last epistle in this department. Our entire trip being made via the San Pedro Peruan Jakay Ats and his Cats have done more to place Fort Worth in the heart of Pantherville regarding its buildings and city buildings; for when persons residing outside of Pantherville regard it as a kind of little, if anything, about it, Manager Ats and his Texas League office were wining awards in such easy manner as to throw contermination into all opposition. Speaking of Fort Worth, remind us that our people have some very nice streets in Negro residential districts in North Texas city, and is our observation that there are more paved streets in Negro residential districts in the state. Pantherville Negroes are progressive, thrivy and urgency in owning them, and fulfilling their responsibilities of citizenship; while interrelations are fine in that city, except Negroes in North Dakota due to Negroes moving too close to their neighborhoods. Characters in that city, though the race professional men are sadly in need of a modern downtown office building. Our headquarters were maintained at the office of the Hon. W. M. McDonald, president of the Fraction (Continued on Editorial Page) THE HOUSTON INFORMER The moving spirits in the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, which played such an important part in encouraging and urging colored Texans to qualify in order to vote in the 1928 elections, have decided that the Negroes of Texas, without regard to political affiliation or presidential preference, should hold a statewide conference in some centrally located Texas city in the immediate future, and there take cognizance of and assume some definite attitude towards the present political situation as it confronts and concerns the Negroes of this state. To that end, President R. D. Evans, well-known Waco attorney, has been elected to statewide office, not only issue a public statement to the Texas electorate, but which will lay and perfect plans for the full and free exercise of the elective franchise right by every citizen in this state, particularly those of Negro extraction. The Negroes of Texas and political bondage for the past decade or two, the Negroes of Texas can effect their parisian freedom and political emancipation during 1928, or make a mighty good start in that direction, if they will only organize their forces, select true and tried leaders and wage incessant battle against those persons and forces that seek to deceive the national citizens of their constitutional rights merely because of color. Negro Saves Nordic Girl From Attack Negro Saves Nordic Girl From Attack Atlanta, Ga. —(ANP)—In order to prevent a bed-ridden white girl from being assaulted by an unidentified, demented tramp, George Duran, a killed hand, shot and killed the would-be assailant at a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city. It is the general opinion here that Duran not only saved the girl, but also prevented a subsequent lynching. Duran was at work when he encountered the house. He rushed to the house with a shotgun, which he carried to the field with him to "shoot a rabbit or two." Arriving at the house, he knocked on the sheets away from the sick girl, who was struggling as best she could. Upon being interrupted, the unidentified man turned his attention to him. Duran emptied two loads of buckshot in him and fell dead. The officers not notified, but did not arrest him, for his gallantry, and told to "go back to work." Boys' Conference At State College Largely Attended Boys' Conference At State College Largely Attended America's Greatest Woody Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1928 TEXAS COUNTY PLACES AGENT IN COURT HOUSE Palestine, Tex. — The commission's court of Anderson County placed A. M. Mason, county agent, with responsibility at Palestine, to work among the Negro farmers of this county. Mr Mason has had five years of experience in farm agent work, and it is confidently expected that he will be appointed to work with the farmers in his new field. G. W. Sanders, formerly Negro agent in this county, is now in the government at El Paso, and he can resume county agent work. Judge E. H. Shelton of the court help the Negro farmer to do better on the farm because more Negro section this section petitioned to the court. Walter, Prairie View, state extension worker, went before the court and petitioned the duties of an agent to the farmers. TEXAS NEGROES WILL CONFER AT DALLAS. MAR.24 Waco, Texas, March 6, 1928.—According to a statement issued by the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, one of the leaders of the civil rights history of this state, as it relates to Negro citizens, will be held in Pythian Temple, Dallas, Texas, Saturday morning; March 24, 1928, o'clock. Leakage has been invited and are expected to attend this conference. At this parley define decision will be rendered to the course the colony will take in political conventions and elections of the state will be perceived to see that no American citizen in this state is denied his elective franchise right due to his There can be no appreciable headway made against any oppressive or obnoxious movement where the people thus oppressed are unwilling to coordinate their forces, pool their interests, financial and otherwise, and contend manfully, legally and sensibly for complete exercise and enjoyment of such inalienable warranties. As a racial unit, we are too quick to take "cold feet;" too prone to lose heart and decide that the "game is not worth the ammunition;" apparently failing to bear in mind that "he who would be free, himself must strike the first blow." In a democratic republic, the voter is sovereign, and the man without a ballot, or the man with a vote who refuses to cast it, is not free, but behold, and wuthh happily with one possible exception, Negroes in all other Southern states are actively engaged in politics; and, even though they have met with rebuffs and defeats on previous occasions, they are determined to "carry on" until victory finally perches on their standards and the cause of right ultimately prevails. In many cases, the opposition and more less stern than that of our racial brothers in other sections of the country? Are we afraid or too timid to contend with might and main for the right guaranteed and vouchsafed to us through constitutional provisions and mandates, both national and state? Are we afraid or too timid to receive many falls and sustaining some injuries in the attempts, but finally mastering the art of physical locomotion. Chancellor Rules Against Howard's Secret Caucuses The proposal of Littleton is an open challenge to the forces of R. B. W. and the Republican party, tempting to send a delegation to Kansas City instructed for Herbert O'Neill to preside the presidency. While Littleton is not fighting the nomination of Hoover, he contending that the Texas Republican unbumped by strings of instructions. The challenge Littleton declares he firmly believes that the majority of *Jacox Republicans* favor an uninstructed delegation, and he asserts that the majority of the meeting votes conclusively that it favors instruction for Hoover, he is not for the commission of the secretary of commerce. On the other hand, he instructs for an uninstructed delegation, Creager and his友面厉害 to such a plan of the majority of Littleton, would bring harmony to the party in this state, and would make GOTHAM TEACHER ENDS WORK HERE; TO GIVE PROGRAM Friday night, (tonight), March 9, at the Pilgrim Temple, West Dallas dramatic specialist of playground and Recreational Association of America, who for the past two weeks has been giving lectures along her special line at Jack Yates High School, where the Houston Recreational Institute has been working with a public demonstration.

The Informer wishes to commend the Independent Colored Volunteer league of Texas calling a statewide conference on Saturday, 24 March, at Dallas and takes an interest in and request a large attendance of Negro leaders and citizens at said parley. We make some little sacrifice of time and money and take our opportunity to plan for the best interests of our race, our state and our nation.

ARKANSAS BLACKS HOLD STATE MEET; FORM G. O. P. BODY NEGRO LEADERS IN CONFERENCE WITH COOLIDGE Washington, D. C.—(A N P)—A committee of prominent citizens, led by Bishop Archibald J. Carey, civil service commissioner of Chicago, called on President Calvin Coolidge, Wednesday afternoon, to contest with the president the appointment pending in congress. The committee was received by the president at o'clock and the members inform the president that they were supplying the movement urging the government to assume the responsibility. In addition, the committee, which arrived from Chicago, Wednesday morning, were comprised of Bishop Carey, Dr. William H. C. Clark, the president of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, attorney Patrick B.

BY WILLIAM-PIGEENS (For the Associated Negro Press) We have heard a list of excuses for not attending the church, netting the colored "bethunah" as equals in their churches, but the church was just communicated to in Salt Lake City, "cake the cakes, and which was just communicated to in the Monroe Church," we asked. "Very few," was the reply, "for the church, for further and learned left no Negro, even though he be a member, is ever con- firmed to go into the "Temple," the great anti-Gothic structure which cannot be allowed to go into the "Temple," the great church of the Church." From all reports this Morrison religion is a very "conventured" affair: baptized, paid up, you can do just about you is dawn please without losing a knight. Our original principles of morrisonism was that a man could as many wives as he could as many husbands as he could to support him. That must be an inducement to persevere. Only one last attempt, extrordinary inducement could have ever happened them to cross the Bookies in the rain. And yet Joseph Smith, the original prophet, of Morrisonism, said, "THAYS WHAT THEY ALL AY." Missionary Flays British Subjects For Vulgar Dance London, Eng. —(ANP) The Rev. A. E. Guest of Westcourt, West Central Africa, who has spent a lifetime trying to teach native Africans to dance home to find his white brethren doing the same kind of dances he has tried to rid Africa of. "Each kick and each wriggle of the dancers is a celebration of the meaning, "Mr. Guest said, "and I feel certain that if British dancers can dance they would never dance the 'Heebie-jeebie' or the 'Black Bottom' again." The minister declared the wangwee performances the British performing these dances. "Immorality among the natives," he said, "is the threat to the less than the missionary today. One of the chief reasons for this immorality in the performance is the lack of a proper 'Bottom' dance which I saw performed by scores of young actors at a London dance school, than an adaptation of a native dance, the meaning of which is too horrible "At Quiaculo we suspend native Black 'Bottle', yet I come home and find my white brethren performing the same amulet dance which in their native language LOUISIANA ELKS ENDORSE WILSON FOR REELECTION New Orleans, La.—(ANP)-Hundreds of Elks from various sections of the city served for the second annual state convention, the sessions-being held in the Dell Jewish synagogue building, which the meeting endorsed Grand Exiled Ruler J.

C.—(ANP)-Many friends from this entire section gathered at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 12th and R Street, Friday afternoon, to pay their last respects to the late Rev. William Lewis, who passed away here Monday. Mr. Lewis, founder of the Indus-Indian Church, was heir. He came to Washington with Coxey's army in the 90's. His entire army in the 90's organized the hod carrier's union, in which he was a potent factor. Frequently closely in the wake of the ex-servant, Lewis, with a group of pioneer business men, organized and established Bank, of which he was the president. Realizing the lack of hotel accommodation in Washington annually, he organized the Whitewater Company, and built and opened the Whitewater Hotel, a 19th-century resort for years, one of the leading hostels operated primarily for Negroes, in the city. Mr. Lewis is survived by his widow, Mrs. Amy Lewis, and two sons, Henry Lewis and Emery Lewis. AMERICA DENIES NEGRO RIGHT TO SERVE COUNTRY Washington, D. C. (ANP)—"The Negro has been denied his full opportunity to be a citizen of the country's population, to acquire his due measure and standing of military rank, and to acquire the keystone of military recognition, a major-segent U. S. Army, retired, in discussing the Negro and preparations as encouraged "Prior to the enaction of the National Defense Act there were in the regular armament of infantry 24th and 28th, and in the regular armament of infantry 10th, with several detachments distributed throughout the various service schools and other stations of the army," continued the retired army man. "When the 'National Defense Act because law, no provisions were made to equip regiments in the army. This neglect by no means delibrate, deprived the Negro of his due measure and standing of essential to his capable handling himself in time of possible war with any degree of credit to himself and Sergeant Reynolds pointed out that the act set the peace time length of 30 minutes, of which number there are only 4,032 Negroes. Of this total number of Negroes, there are only 4,032 "K" in entirely safe to say that not more than 3,000 of these are considered forming duties of non-conduit nature. Thus we find "the said, "repre- taining troops in the regular army, training to serve as first line of defens- ive, considerably below in the number of troops employed in the regular army before the National Defense Act and law prior to the World War." Same Thing Exists in National Army. Turning to the nation's second line of defense, the National Guard, we find that the number declared Sergeant Reynolds, "will show that there are 2,951 Negroes on the roster of the National Guard "It is obivous," he pointed out, "that with only 5,000 representatives of the United Nations, that the colored man is wholly unprepared to run his country off effort and time emergency.

PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS The senate is supposed to be, and fact, much more dignified than the House, and each senator occupies a chair with an individual desk. There are chairs in the senator when each state is fully represented, but have been several occasions during the present session when every seat is occupied. The night occur. There are but few men in the senate and a line of people was held waiting in the corridors for the first vantage point. There are but few men in the senate and a command a quorum when they arise to speak, unless there is an important event. The standpoint of the call is exerting an influence favorable to creating an attendance. The senate has a standpoint of oratory, everybody knows congress concedes that the Democrats have the edge upon the Republicans. The first rank as speakers are Reed of Missouri, Walsh of Montana, Robbins of Wisconsin, and Pat Harrison of Mississippi. On the Republican side, Senator Watson of Indiana, Nerissa Watson of Indiana, Nerissa Watson of Ohio, may be mentioned when the late president was sent to clerkship during a brief clerkship in 1813 by Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin when he presented his resolution designating himself the occupant of the presidency. The youthful senator showed the making of a list of important accomplishments to his father's place of importance among progressive thinkers. He succeeded in his position, its nearly five hundred members just at this time when the large apportionation bills are under consideration, and he billed mill in and out of cloak rooms, upon the floor on and off the floor, and in and out of thesequent days. It requires fully three bills, justly well and no statement, yet has yet denied a means of consuming formally so essentially legal. The speaker of the house, Nicholas Longwouth, the husband of Princess Mary of the late beloved president whose aggrievement of character marks a certain executive mansion, is increasingly popular on both sides of the house. He rallies and on the whole makes a capable presiding officer. He has more potentialities, but more of that later.

More than 71,000 flood sufferers in the Mississippi Valley are fed today by the American Red Cross. Belief is expressed by Red Cross officials that there may be some increase in these numbers until spring, when flood sufferers will begin to realize on new crops. Those who suffer are divided among the states as follows: Arkansas, 4,728; Louisiana, 49,658; Georgia, 16,514; and Tennessee, 150. Negro workers are taking an active part in the Red Cross rehabilitation program, since Secretary Herbert Hoover ordered a Negro Red Cross assistant operating in the field. That policy has been most effective, for the colored workers serve as certain and sympathetic contacts with hundreds of pitiful sufferers who, in many cases, did not even know how to In Mississippi, Dr. L.

MRS. WINDSO'S STRIP (BY WILLIAM PICKENS) (For the Associated Negro Press) Mrs. J. M. Scott panned long enough frond planning for his 1922 baby album, "The Great Emperor," to me to see the most famous "Mission Play" in the city of Alambra, where is located one of the finest ruins of San Gabriel, the Mission of San Gabriel. One would suspect that a "mission play," with the idea of religion in it, might be dull; but he finds this play, which glorified the sacrifices and the hardships of the Indian to the church, that led to most interesting human drama in three acts. It seems to have been the determination and devotion of these missionaries, who joined the "Indian" to the church, that led to the foundation and final settlement of California, beginning at San Diego. The missionaries, who supported the "padres" and the few Spanish-Mexican soldiers who supported the glories of the old missions in all their human services. The old missionaries; from place of worship to carnival yard. The padres protected the missionaries from the city of the political forces and the brutal assaults of the Spanish soldiers—the Kk Kai than will be in charge of the missionaries of the monks of California bouldered proclaim that the "laws of God" king of Spain, and that the padre would have refused to permit the missionaries to rule of Spain, and that the padre would have refused to permit the missionaries in ruins and the Indian press as a result of the overthreat and the suppression of the missionaries and the supremacy of the forces. The dramatic contrasts are the dramatic contrasts that have no interest in the church it much moved. To the Catholic this "mission play" must be the supreme The play this year is being done in the fine new Mission Play House, a building of art worth the price of admission. Of course, there is another side to the play, which lies behind this fine idealistic side. It haps the "imperial wizard" will have the other side dramatized and staged on the shreveport or -Gary, Indiana. The Georgia Street Jail But there are not only "mission plays in California; there are the men who come in to give the Gin Street jail in Los Angeles, for instance. We have never had much experience, not a very wide experience for our comparisons, but of all the jails we have jail is the most human—about a home-like an any jail may be. The colored policemanwomen, Mrs. Morgan Robinish, was an neat and clean and white woman, and we peace and equality, without even the slightest segregation, in this jail. In other words, the folks in jail could be the First Methodist Church. The young white man who is the head man of the colored "matron" treat the men and women who come into their power, and this colored "matron" treat the men and women that they have no trouble. But there are some women in this jail who have no more business in the community than elderly, Spanish woman was there because she served a little wine to her boarders. She had not long been in the community, and she had come from, such an act would have been a hospitality and a virtue. It was interesting to note—perhaps it was a mere coincidence of day—that the white women were colored, while the white women were mostly there for bootlegging or shop-lifting, the colored women were there waywardness as girls or prostitutes as young women.

The school board was apprised of that the schools for Negroes in New Orleans and other Southern city, and that the percentage of funds diverted to Negro schools in the city should be directed by the board. The board was asked to set aside a specified fund for the purpose of promoting the progress of schools in the city, by the board. At the same time, the superintendent pointed out that the schools in the city were directed by Negro students in their schools, but held out little hope that this condition will be remedied. The board of the ordained citizen's committee that a new building will be erected to replace the existing building would be provided as an answer to the McCarthy School, but said nothing concerning the other schools. Dr. W. G. Lacus, a member of the school board, had just begun; that at $10,000,000 bond issue had been passed and this bond issue had been the construction of schools for Negro pupils.

PRIMARY TITLE—As Meansual Meat PAD. PREEMEDIATE AND NENIOR TITLE—J伊斯 Meeting Every Day Need. YOUNG FRIENDS AND ADULTS IJCause Companion for Human Need. 1. J伊斯 Invitation to the Wary Disciples (v. 51, 32). The apodis had just returned from tour in Galluia with a report of what they had done and taught. Their ministry occasioned no little sit, Beidels, As a result of their combined ministry, the commotion was so great that there was no opportunity for resting or eating. In such a time of need, they had to retire from the crowd and rest. In order to do this they departed privately by ship for a desert place in the desert. In the crowd in fellowship with the Lord are necessary after evangelistic training. They serve a double purpose. They off themselves and their work. 2. To prevent dependency for their failures. Teach the ignorant Multitude (v. 33, 34). 1. Throneed by the people (v. 33). 2. The wonderful words and works of Jesus and the multitudes to the multitudes to. To escape the threed they took their departure for a desert place (v. 32). Seeing the people from the surrounding cities anticipated their landing place, and proceeding, thither, welcomed them. 3. The Lord moved with compassion (v. 34). 4. Becoming irritated by the irritation of the crowd He lived was moved with pity. His personal interests were forgotten as the needs of the shepherdess sheep pressed against the fence to teach them many things. Jesus is now the same companion Savior, touched with the feelings of our infirmity. 11. Jesus Feeding the Hungry Multitude (vv. 35-44). 2. Conference with the disciples (vv. 35-44). (1) The disciples request that the multitude be sent to the surrounding villages to buy bread (v. 30). According to the proposition that the multitude be fed (Matt. 14:16) (2) Jesus commands them to feed the multitude (v. 37). (3) Jesus begins to calculate that the amount of provisions required. They asked the Lord whether they should eat bread or not. The multitude bread. Their perplexity was due to the fact that they were depending upon their own resources instead of Christ. To be force to face with the multitude, they benefited from a benefit. (a) it makes us realize our dependence upon Christ; (b) drives us to Him for help in our need; (c) makes us realize the results.

(1) The Lord's parable. This was to teach the multitude the importance of procedure and to create the position. Though they had but five loaves and two fishes He so increased them that the need of the hungry (2) The disciples part. They were to have the people sit down in comfort. They then took it from the Master had blessed and distributed it to the people. The disciples received the provision, but for its distribution to the people. (3) The people part. Their part was not to create by the Lord and distributed by the Lord down and parakee of the provision. Even after the bread had been blessed by the Lord and distributed by the Lord with hunger but they not partaken of the food. Unless the people receive Jesus Christ and the salvation of the earthly starve. The Lord has done His part. The disciples are under seldom obligation to do their part and the final responsibility sets upon them. Obedience Obedience is the secret. Not slavish obedience, but sympathetic, loving obedience.

NOTE—If the articles appearing in this column suggest any particular question to your mind, or if you desire further information along the line suggested, you may address the Editor of the Business Democrat and the Association Negro Dept. with the following information: Chicago, Illinois, or Secretary, National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, or a communication to the Inquiry Division, Bureau of Commerce, Washington, D. C., will be productive of the further information desired. WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE Where are the harping, ranting, pessimists who believe that Negroes cannot do business, going to bury their heads during the next decade? What's to become of those wine jolks whose sole claims to what little disruption they ever acquire among their fellowmen is, and has been, the concern that "Colored people get" a command nowhere with that—no matter what might be under discussion at the time. We as a group, have been moving rapidly, in spite of the fact that the more ambitious among us have always hoped for even greater speed. We have not gone far enough to stop and "holler hurler," but we have been doing well enough to warrant a full faith that we, as a group, can master the science of merchandising. There has been a lot of guessing about our commercial status, with the reason that "Colored people" are not actively concerning any part of our business life are any longer accepted with much confidence. However, that day is over. The year 1928 will be recalled by future historians of the race progress as the year in which the Negro reached the stage where knowledge, pleasant, or otherwise, was substituted for hopes, ambitious programs, and venerated imitations of realities. There is evidence of all this around us. Cast about you and see for yourself how the efforts of a few persistent ones have sustained the faith of the Negro. A few years since, Negro Business Week was a joke to many; now it is looked forward to by some of our businessmen as a clean-up period that will care for pending obligations, to say nothing of the new customers created and retained. Few on the outside of the business subject are aware of what tremendous service the propaganda of the National Negro Insurance Association, as put forward through the articles of Harry H. Pace and the statistician of the National Negro Insurance Association, of vital statistics by the life insurance associations been fully appreciated. A score of years ago, the National Negro Business League was our sole gesture, toward cooperative study of our economic problems. Today there are nearly a score of trade line organizations interested in the social problems of the several lines of business. media, association, lawyers' association, barbers' and hairdressers' association, fashion designers, understaffers' association, and the National Negro Press Association, are typical and outstanding exhibits of this tendency. True, they have not all functioned to the maximum of their possibilities, but it must be remembered that no age-old institutions with national resources or trained personnel such as one finds in the U. S. Chamber of Commerce were available to these bodies. They made "bricks without straw." The National Negro Press started out as a creator of business spirit, and it fathered many of the tradeline bodies. Now it has gone a step farther and has achieved a combination of resources that will make possible an accurate measure of our commercial status in the country. This year will see an accurate authoritative tabulation of the professional, commercial, personal service, cooperative and corporate business of our race. Funds for the work are in hand, and Dr. Frank M. Surface, assistant director of the Negro Press Association, agreed to provide the technical advice that will make the work of experts engaged a thing of commercial value, not only to, but because of the sincerity of the picture of our market value, give the whole group a different aspect to the general commercial interests of the country. In this year, for the first time, we are having at our disposal the assembled information concerning all business through the U. S. Domestic Commerce Division, that it has not been there for the asking for years, and that it has been prepared to this instruction. Associated Negro Press and the associated newspapers of which this is one. Newspapers are giving a great deal of editorial attention to the problems of business and live ministers are recognizing it as important to their programs. Yes, this promises to be a great year. We have a long way to go. Commercially, we have but started on the road, but we are on the road—and we're getting somewhere. WHAT IS THE WHOLESALE PRICE? How many merchants, especially small dealers, know the market price of the goods passing through their establishments? By what means do merchants make certain that the cost to them of what is bought for their goods conforms to the prevailing price? A merchant should know whether the jobber who sells to him is a large business or his commodities for the country at large. In smaller towns, and among the merchants who without trade association connections, it is especially pertinent that there should be a dependable source of information as to values and prices. It is a far too big job for any small merchant to tabulate wholesale prices for himself. It is a very large order; and the Division of Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce has long ago assumed the task of collecting many inquiries and compilations necessary to assemble each information. Wholesale Prices of Leading Articles in United States Markets," a publication of the bureau of labor statistics, department of labor, is a publication that has been distributed at intervals since 1919. The inquiry section of the bureau of commerce utilizes this document as one of the many authorities quoted when preparing answers to questions propounded by the bureau of commerce. Since its origin, many editions of the publication have been published and released by the superintendent of public documents, government printing office, at five cents per copy. A note to guide to values and market trends, it is far superior to the acceptance of information that one might receive from casual sources. Protection, as implied by the use of the army and navy, is not only the sort of protection our government provides for its taxpayers. The peace-time constructive protection of the business interests of the country is as plausibly provided, if one cares to avail him or herself, of its benefits. Many of the commercial cannacles of the country have been predicated upon inadequate knowledge concerning wholesale prices. Business mortality injures the nation precisely as does human mortality. The latter reduces the profits of the former affects our national adversity. Both must be preserved. The publication concerning wholesale markets represents but one of the many ways in which the arm of protection is thrown about our commercial institutions by the government. Its helpfulness extends to the smallest dealer in the marts of trade as cordially and as much as his given right as it does to the largest corporation that might be mentioned. Those who had large business have made them so because they have had the right to make their own merchant to ask the Division of Domestic Commerce of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce for its 'list of publications, for there are a number among the listed titles of government publications that fill a gap in one's information about one's chosen field or business in THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MARCH 10. 1928 Schools AND Don't Wait Send Us Your Orders for and Class Pr BE ON T Let us show you how BLOTTERS, ILLUST and CIRCULARS can be used for BAI in life is the continued production of Good modern type and equipment and devoting of the printing business enables us to g Schools and Colleges write us at once and Catalogs, and Commencement and Class I WEBSTER-RICHARDS COMPANY 409-11 SMITH STREET RACE TRAITS OF THE ETHIOPIAN SOCIAL EQUALITY (By Drilluna Dumce Houston) The debate that appeared in the Federal Council for philosophical furnished food for philosophical equality is a dangerous subject in the debate.

Notwithstanding this apparent paradoxical situation in which ‘The Informer finds itself, we still believe that Mr. Hoover is the logical man for the Rpublican nomination; and, while this paper is for Mr. Hoover and wants to see him nominated and lected: and, in view of the fact that the anti-Creager forces fare not opposed or antagonistic to Hoover's candidacy, per se, we ‘would rather sce Texas Republicans send up an. uninstructed Gelegation to the national gathering of the party, headed by such men as Congressman Wurzbach and other outstanding Re- pablicans, than to honor the Creager-Nolte regime in this re- Spect, and thereby maintain the party organization in this state in the vest pockets of a handful of politcal manipulators. For the last eight years The Informer has contended that the Republicans of Texas needed to engage in a partisan houseclean- ing, as it relates to those in control of party affairs in this state; that the party should be restored to the people, and that earn- cat and well-defined efforts should be Intited and conducted t really build up the party numerically, not merely. during presi- Alontial election years, but at every bicanial election, congression al, state and county. ae “Though a staunch Hoover adherent and supporter, ‘The In: former is dubious and suspicious of certain allezed Hoover sup- porters in the Creager-Nolte camp, and we also have a hunch That all this reported and supposed pre-convention activity on the part of the Creager regime for Mr. Hoover, is nothing more ror less than a nice scheme being foisted upon the Texas voters of Republican persuasion, as well as independent and Democrat. fe electors favorable to Mr. Hoover's presidential candidacy, to further entrench, the present state Republican regime in abso- fute control and full charge of the Texas partisan organization, ‘The Informer agrees with the Dallas Express, which stated, editorially, last week, that Republican electors of Texas should ‘manifest more than passing interest in the internal party fight fo “unhorse™ the Creager administration; that this issue is of infinitely more importance to ‘Texas Republicans just now thar fany presidential aspirant and possibility. However, there is only one way in which the Republican voter can give honest expression to their wishes in this and other re fspects, and that is to organize thelr forces and begin at the pre Ehct conventions, which will be held Saturday, May 5, 1928, by fleeting delegates who are notin accord and harmony’ with’ th Cecting Ceecinistration and its strictly “exclusive” policy an¢ While both the Creager-Nolte and Wurzbach-Littleton forces have held their statewide conferences and. decided upon their ‘courses of action, no meeting has been held, neither has there heen an expression of the serdiment of the vast majority, of Re- publican voters in Texas, touching either upon the presidential race or the factional fight now going merrily apace in this sate ‘These American citizens and Republican electors should hold a statewide conference and deelde what course they will pursue fa what attitude they will take in the present. Republican sit- tiation in Texas; for, if the protent party regime maintains eon- trol ot party affaire in this state, its fature is anything but roweate. ‘As for the Hoover eandidacy_and the pre-convention support of certain Texas Republicans, The Informer, though a Hoover ‘supporter, would rather see an uninstructed anti-Creager dele gation from Texas than to see a pro-Creager delegation from the state instructed for Mr. Hoover; for it is currently rumored ‘Over the state that several of those already slated for delegate: Ship on the Creager ticket, who are whooping ft up now for Mr Hoover, and for an instructed Hoover delegation from Texas, ‘are merely engaging in such tactics this early in the game to at- ‘tain their objectives as delegates; and, that when they have been elected, there will be some collective bargaining as was eendidy and teankly, knowing the political situation in Tex- aa wel sd and haiog herd ioe the Dat he ranks and didoes of some of the licens now suppooe to be boosting tr the "Hoot ne form that, the “Hoover HAPPINESS DEFINED A eto pe Sere “fren Oe om of talents, verioersouein aod ea ec Bee oasis aes eae oe eae “WESTERN STAR PLANT SAVED!” AVERS WILSON ‘Dallas, Texas, Mar. 2, 1928. wo see pel leer ot ee rie SSF Sa bee icone Saf Teecatioal Convention ol Tema rons 1 Atington Wen, hy vite of Peerage often Set of te Bayt.
