Houston is facing the unemployment period in its recent history, and we have drifted to the city, in search of work in connection with the National Democratic Convention, which meets here June 26, 1928. Most complaint has been registered by women, and a protest by women was staged several days ago in the city's council chamber against a worker because of color, crest or class, but we wonder how many Mexicans can laborers with colored or white workers from the United States, if similar situation existed in their Even if these American whites and blacks have hired for considerably lower wages, we should still if Mexican employers would give them preference over Mexican workers. We have no fight or war to wage for them, and foreign workers of the unskilled type, but we do think that all employees should give primary consideration to employees and workers of their own country, and give certain immigration restrictions and barriers are passed by the national government to be unable to compete with such cheats.

LOUIS IS CALLED BY DEATH America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1928 Mississippi G.O.P. Case Goes To Supreme Court For Final Adjudication Jackson, Miss.—(ANP)—Attorneys S. D. and S. R. Redmond, of the regular Republican organization of Mississippi, have announced that the fight to dissolve the injunction placed on the organization restraining the members from holding elections of delegates to the national convention, would be carried to the supreme court. The announcement was made following the refusal of the courts here to remove the restraining order. What is known as the "lily-white" faction of the Republican party of Mississippi, led by former Governor George L. Sheil, was appointed to the court at Bloxox, Miss., on February 23, seeking a temporary injunction restraining the regular Republican party of the state of Mississippi, of which Perry W. Howard is national committee, from holding their ward, beat, prefect, county district and state conventions, which had been called for the purpose of nominating presidential electors and selecting delegates to the national Convention, which meets at Kansas City, June 12, 1928. THOMPSON SAYS COHEN CARRIES MADDEN NEEDED; PARTY FIGHT TO DENEEN FLAYED HIGHEST COURT THOMPSON SAYS COHEN CARRIES MADDEN NEEDED; PARTY FIGHT TO DENEEN FLAYED HIGHEST COURT The "lily-whites" soon found that they would have rough sledding in the federal courts and their bill was dismissed. They immediately reported to the chancery court at Hattlesburg, and there obtained a temporary injunction without evidence, restraining the regulars from the holding of all their conventions on the dates set. The "lily-whites" charge that the regular Republican organization did not give proper notice of these conventions, did not call them at the proper places, that they tried to hold them in places unknown to the "lily-whites," that they were conspiring to keep all persons out of their conventions who were unfriendly to themselves in order to perpetuate themselves and their friends in office. The regular Republican organization charges that the "lily-whites" are Democrats; that they are the real conspirators; that they have no Chicago, Ill.—(ANF)—In the first meeting held in the interest of Governor Len Small's campaign for re-nomination and re-election held in Cook County, the Eighth Regiment Armory was packed Sunday to hear the governor and other candidates on Mayor William Hale Thompson's "America First" ticket extol the Negro for his high sense of citizenship and bid for his cooperation in the program of progress which the governor and mayor have outlined for the city and state. After the governor had spoken the principal speeches were made by Mayor and Thompson and Roscoe Conklin. Simmons, both of whom espoused eloquently the cause of Congressman Martin B. Madden, who is being opposed for renomination and reelection by William L. Dawson, a Negro. Thompson dwelt at some length on his flood control program which he indicated materially affected the lives of the Negroes in the South and declared that he needed Madden's influence and power in congress to aid these Negroes of the South. Similar歇斯底里ism seemed to spirit that would attempt to snatch Madden out of public life just because he is a white man and apostrophized a score of white men, including Lincoln, who have figured in the Negro's past. Practically every one of the long list of candidates for office defined their friendship for the Negro in terms of promises of jobs. There was also among them wholesale in-dorsement of the candidacy of James B. Cashlin for municipal court judges. Simmons took occasion to point out the lack of loyalty to the race cause of United Senator Charles S. Deneen "Where was Mr. Deneen when Swanson of Virginia, Glass of Virginia and George of Georgia were abusing the Negro in the United States? or was the opportunity to defend the state's own rights? right to attempt to dictate the policy of the Republican party in the state of Minnesota and to "fly-white" vote in the Democratic primary, that they only a few times in the state and attorney-general of the state of Minnesota for a charter incorporation in the HUGSkipp, declaring that under this proposed one no but white people could belong to the Republican party in the state of Minnesota and refused by the governor, and the "fly-white" then incorporated into the state of Minnesota by the regular Council of Minnesota Republican Provisional State Executive Committee by the regular Republican organization an nothing more nor less than a political association and musqueean, who because of race prejudice, are attempting by every available means, right to the state, whether through the National Republican organization of the state. New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—A preliminary injunction enjoining and restraining Walter Cohen, comptroller of customs, and ten of his followers from interfering with the Republican state central committee a and to the National Republican Convention at Kanaan City in June, was denied by William H. Byrne, Jr., in the civil district court. Cohen, through his attorney, W. O. Hart, says he was denied by the Republican committee affiliated with the faction represented by the state district court. He is applied to the state court for the order. NEGRO LEADERS SEEK SEATS IN NATIONAL BODY Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)-William A.

The bill was filed to set aside an ordinance passed several years ago, providing that the hospital for our people should be built at St. Ferdinand and Cottage avenues.

The sentiment of the majority of Negroes here has been to build the hospital in the West Indies.

They are as certain indicators of the public mind of the day as thermometers and barometers are of preventing weather. The functions of publications are pretty similar to those of newspapers, but the functions of newspapers are in "hot" or "cold" on any subject, and the editors have to do with density of thought and measure the weight, so to speak. This bit of deep stuff off the chair by way of creating a foundation for the public mind is the primary purpose of the newspaper. That impulse is shared by the expressed by quickwritten papers when our purpose of business and the more serious phases of life is under discussion, and the more hospitable. A great chance is slowly taking place. We are moving forward in our work on our newspapers. Our more and more find communities and businesses being disbanded on the editorial pages and more old sites we find news stories dealing with malicious articles on front pages and elsewhere through our newspapers. All of this is more than the newspapers are simultaneously carrying this column. In other columns of these same newspapers we are finding strong editorials of a supplementary character. For instance, the Washington Tribune is publishing a series of articles on behalf of the Thomas of Armstrong High School, in which the necessity for racial solidarity, undermining of business science chairs in our schools, and the merits of the race, and market research are told in a masterly way. Correspondence with the Domestic Commerce Division of the Bureau of Commerce will be the interest in these matters to do very well and very widely soon. NATIONAL SURVEY UNDER WAY; IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, IN FIRST RELEASE Secretary Allen L. Holley of the National Negro Business League, who in his characteristic charge of the U. S.

Two were partnerships and three corporations, excluding the two fraternal orders. Of the 1292 persons employed, Columbus' Negro population, according to 1920 census, was 903. COOPERATION REPLACES OLD-TIME COMPETITION IN WASHINGTON INSURANCE CIRCLES. Some few months ago, the managers of the ten Negro-owned insurance companies operating in Washington, D.C., organized an insurance Managers' Association. A weekly dinner constitutes the stated sessions of the organization. While but a few months in existence, the public impression of all of the companies has been greatly improved, and several concrete results have been attained by the united efforts that would not have been accomplished otherwise. Beginning Monday night, March 5, a class in insurance salesmanship was placed in the night schools of the district, with a competent teacher in charge, paid for and selected by the public school authorities, with the approval of the organization. His work will be supplemented by lectures every eighth night of school by the insurance managers in rotation. When sufficiently advanced, the pupils will be given practical work with actual agents of the different companies, and placed in employment as soon as the course shall have been completed. Arrangements have been made with a local newspaper, the Tribane, to present the annual reports of all of the companies in the organization in a double-track, two-page story with display features. This will be the THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURADY, MARCH 24, 1928 Teacher Acquitted Murdering Child In North Carolina Raleigh, N.

Skeptic Pullman Porters Now Join Their Brotherhood Kansas City, Mo.—As a result of an increase in wages which the Pullman car conductors have received through their own organization, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Conductors are now sending in their applications for membership in their own union. The Pullman conductors briefed with the U. S. Mediation Board about the same time that the porters did not arrive and did not arbitrate with the porters. By threats and intimidation they forced these men to accept the "Company Union" which is owned and controlled by the company. The Pullman conductors were not forced to accept the agreement and their union which has secured for them a second increase of 54% based on 240 hours work per month. The conductors received $185.15 while the porter received $72.50 for 400 hours work per month. The conductor's victory has removed all doubts in the minds of porters who were opposed to organization and has strengthened the company in a state of berriment. The company union has been the organization "unincustomal" and ordered by Judge Hutchison of Houston, Texas, and Judge Wagge Waggeel in New York.

The studies just completed by the Institute of Social and Religious Research Made under the direction of Dr. T. J. Woolfer, Jr. of the University of North Carolina, this study covers situation typical American cities, both urban and rural, in a scientific investigation of Negro conditions ever made on anything like a farm. The study of the city drift of Negro populations and the resulting problems of friction, congestion, segregation, exploitation and discrimination. Contrary to the general impression, the report reveals that a little more migrants stopped in Southern cities, though the percentage of gain was much lower. In consequence of this rapid shift, overcrowding and congestion in Negro districts were found to be very severe. An example, Negro population showed a density of 385 per acre, as against 325 per acre in the tenement houses in Philadelphia, 175 families were found living in 354 rooms. With this crowding has gone an abnormally high death rate, particularly from tuberculosis, pneumonia, and rents, it was found, very much higher in the North than South, with the number of inmates in the North as high as $3.74 in the South. Lynchburg showed the minimum of sixty cents a room per person in the North as high as $1.78. In the case of 747 families living in Harlem, New York, it was found that the percentage of the total family income The investigators discovered a general face of public recreational facilities in the town, which were consequence a high rate of juvenile delinquency. The conditions of community rooms and dance halls, were found to be deplorable. "School funds are not adequate to meet the needs of Negro schools in North South," says the report. "Where there are separate Negro schools, more pupils are enrolled in the institution, with fewer seats in proportion than the white schools, more pupils in poorer salaries, fewer and smaller playgrounds, less adequate number of pupils, and few, if any, "extra," such as libraries, gymnasiums, etc. The number of pupils, and few, if any, "extra," was veiled by the survey in the tendency among Negroes toward home ownership. In every city salaries, except in the number of home owners had increased materially, and in Northern cities quite rapidly. Home owners have remained relatively constant in population, while the population of the home owning sections has been increasing. pletely confirmed," said Sir Gordon. "Africa must learn a lesson from America.

W. JAC Attest: JAS. T. EWING, District Gran You will please grant me permission to say a word through your paper, at this time, to the public concerning this branch of the Fraternal Family. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows does not need introduction to the people, for it is well known in this country for its many deeds of charity and benevolence. In fact, the good deeds that this society has done might be piled up mountain high for your inspection if it were possible for us to go out and gather up even the fragments which these great deeds have left scattered over this great American continent, since its organization in this country. Suffice it to say, at this time, that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is one of the most potent influences at work among our people today, and it is hardly possible for any other organization in this country and throughout the world to have done more substantial work among the Negro race than has this great Order since its organization in the city of New York in 1843. We are bidding for 50,000 Negroes in Texas out of a Negro population of 800,000. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows being one of the oldest institutions, one of the most substantial, and one of the leaders of charity, benevolence and material uplift, should demand the respect and support of all the builders of the race. Now, in consideration of what this Society stands for, what it has already accomplished and in consequence of the preponderance of evidences of its great usefulness as a race builder, we ask the public to continue its support of one of the greatest agencies of our racial development. We, in conclusion, present to the public our New and Extended Endowment policies, which give evidence of our continual prosperity and usefulness. Your attention is called especially to the following notice and description of these Policies: NOTICE TO LODGES AND HOUSEHOLDS The printed classification of policies and rates of premiums thereon as shown below are in line with the recommendation of the Grand Master to the Grand Lodge session at San Antonio, Texas, August last, which recommendation was adopted and the rates covering premiums on such policies have been worked out by Mr. B. Werkenthein, actuary for the Order. For the information of all members of the Order, you are advised that in future, no policies for $100.00 or $200.00 will be issued by the Endowment Department. Future issues will be on the basis of $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800, $1000. The premium rate will be on the same basis as heretofore, that is, on the age of the member at the time of entry into the Order, as shown in the schedule rate of premiums below. All members of the Order who may desire to increase their policies to a sum greater than that which they are now carrying must be examined by a practicing physician and passed on by Dr. J. R. Moore, G. M. E., in the same manner as when they first joined the Order. Where an increase in policy is desired by any member, it should be borne in mind that a separate policy will be issued to cover the increase and in no way affect the policy of the member that is held by him or her at the time application is madg for such increase or new policy to cover the additional insurance. The premium on the new policy or increased insurance will be based on the member's age at the time the application for additional insurance is made and not on the member's age at the time he or she first joined the Order. All male members, whose age does not exceed 50 years, are privileged to increase their insurance up to any of the amounts shown in the schedule below by paying the rate of premium shown in the schedule below. No member can increase his policy, whose age exceeds 50 years. All female members, whose age does not exceed 45 years, are privileged to increase their insurance up to any amount shown in the schedule below by paying the rate of premium shown in the schedule below. No female member can increase her policy, whose age is above 45 years. All limitations for membership in the Order are: For men, 18 to 50 years; for women, 16 to 45 years. These limits should be strictly adhered to and all other requirements as above mentioned.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURABY, MARCH 24, 1928 Improved Uniform International TODAY'S RECIPE SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. H. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (22, 128. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 25 REVIEW—JESUS PROCLAIMS THE KINGDOM OF GOD GOLDEN TEXT—And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching their sickness and every disease, the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing their sickness and every disease. JUNIOR TOPIC—Mark's Stories About Jesus. MEDIAN TOPIC—AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Jesus Began His Work. THE EARLY MEMORIES—The Early Ministry of Jesus. The method of review must always be determined by the genius of the teacher, the grade of the school, and the aptitude of the pupil. For the senior and adult classes perhaps the teacher marries the facts of each lesson and to study the main teaching thereof. Since the great personality around Jesus is the teacher, the quarter gather is Jesus Christ, it ought not to be difficult to plan a review. Whatever plan it uses is useful. Jesus thought out and assignment made to the different scholars a week ahead of time. The following suggestions **Lesson for January 1.** John the Baptist is in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy announcing the advent of Jesus, the Son of Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, as witnessed by John the Baptist and the Voice from the open **Lesson for January 8.** Jesus taught with authority and demonstrated it by comparing demons, healing a fever, and saving a man. He is able to save to the uttermost, to deliver from all kinds of sickness and satanic power. **Lesson for January 15.** Jesus freely gave Himself to the task of healing the diseases of the people and forging a new life in that Jesus has not only power to heal the diseases of the body but to forgive sin, which is the cause of disgrace. **Lesson for January 22.** Jesus lived His life in comfort with God's law. Conflict with the Jews over the matter of fasting and the Sabbath was due either to their failure to understand God's law or to its perversion. In the end, through comforts to God's law. **Lesson for January 29.** With the increase of the fame of Jesus came increase of opposition. In spite of the increased opposition, the church tuned His mighty works in casting out demons and ministering to those in need. **Lesson for February 5.** Jesus was misunderstood by His friends. His family and fellow townmen, and viciously opposed by the scribes and Pharisees. A spiritual nature is in order to understand Christ. **Lesson for February 12.** Jesus showed Himself the master teacher of the kingdom so as to conceal the truth from those who were not in sympathy with Him and by interpretation to be understood by His disciples. Jesus deity was manifested in calming the storm-tossed and in healing the demonic. Because of what Jesus is in need of, the church was forced to lesson for February 28. Jesus raised from the dead jalrus' daughter and healed the woman who had been afflicted for twelve years. Only a few years later, Jesus was forced to lesson for March 4. Jesus called twelve men and sent them forth to preach the gospel of the kingdom. He was unmarried and unmarried with power to heal diseases. **Lesson for March 11.** Christ compassion upon the multitudes and his gifts, our small gifts and possession, when placed at the Lord's disposal, are insufficient for any need. **Lesson for March 18.** Christ denounced the empty forms and traditions of the Pharisees and showed that detachment can only come from a genuine faith. Eternal Thoughts The thoughts of God are eternal thoughts. They are independent of time, independent of worlds. You set your life on God, and you will go to God. After you have set your life into that life, it need never be changed. Let change come, let death come, we pass on still doing God's work. And after Alexander Mackenzie.

Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or gripping." Nujoil is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works no easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand.

Va.Pythians Washington, D.C.—Announcement has just been made by R. H. Rutherford, president National Benefit Life Insurance Company, that his organization had completed arrangement to loan $55,000 to the Wheeling Pythian Association, on the erection of a modern office building by the association at 1025-27 Chapline Street, Wheeling, West Virginia. The Pythian has held title to this property for some time, having purchased it for a moderate figure when Chapline was a closed street; but recently this street has been cut through, to connect with the main boulevard out of Wheeling, and this property, with other, overnight enhanced in value, and is now in the heart of the business center of the city. Real estate barons, after being frustrated in their endeavor to buy out the Pythians, retaliated by making it impossible for the Pythians to be flanched by any white financial institutions in Wheeling. It was reported that these institutions kept the Pythians in suspense from time to time, and eventually turned them down, or quoted such enormous terms that they were unthinkable. The Pythian conferred with the Pythian Life Insurance Company and made known its project, erecting a modern office building, in partnership with the Tourism. The National Life Insurance Company, following its invariant custom in such matters, proportionation of financing the Pythians and the Pythian Life Insurance Company as it advancing the Pythians $55,000 as needed to complete the erection of the plans. The plans have been approved by the department of building inspection Plato, race contractor, of Louisville Kentucky, to erect the building, and the present dwellings has already started.

Davis, member of the legislature from St. Louis, to Dr. E. B. Clements, Republican national committeeman. Davis related in his letter that the Republican party is in danger of losing the Negro vote in Missouri because of patronage discrimination in favor of lukewarm, white Republican. Dr. Clements' reply has added insult to injury and has caused the situation to become more acute among Negro voters in St. Louis, to the other. Davis, in his letter, said that there were 125,000 Negro voters in Missouri, enough to change any election, and there recently had been a strong tendency on the part of Negroes to desert the Republican party. “Negroes are conspicuous by their absence on all the various boards and in all the federal, state and local departments, Republican controlled,” wrote Attorney Davis. “I am reliably informed that Democratic chief-tains, who desire the Negro vote to swell their numbers, are quietly prominent and guaranteed that as a word for Nege a suffrage and support, they will give the Negroes of Missouri more patronage than they have ever heretofore enjoyed.” In reply, Dr. Clementes wrote that in his opinion the Negroes were get-together, and he concluded his letter with a sentence that aggravated the entire situation. He said, "As policemen they have no efficient service," which in untrue. Davis' letter contained an indirect threat of impending trouble for the Negroes in states where the Negroes alternately supported the Democratic and Republican tickets, they had a much higher chance of jobs than in states such as Missouri.

Will it be Herbert Hoover or will it be another that shall be the chosen Republican standard-bearer in the approaching presidential campaign? At one time it looks one way and at another it looks the other. The choice the of the great mass of Republican voters. But the boxes and manipulators seem to have another thought. They affect to effect his partisan regularity. Will Rogers affirms his belief in the Republicanism of the party, asserting that the secretary himself did not find out to what party he was going to be elected. The primary battle is now on. Students of political movements will recall that a few years ago the uncleached old man was the test principle of political reform. The evils of the old convention were the test of the principle as a multitude of political ill. This was in the days of Bryan, when the president was still sitting the issues of the hour.

In issuing a mandatory writ against Perry Howard and his Republican regime in Mississippi, restraining them from "unlawful manipulation of the state Republican party in Mississippi," Perry wrote, "will not interfere with actions of political parties when the question involves rests on party rule or custom, but if the present case, where an alleged violation of the statutes is involved, the court may lend its power to prevent such violations." Perry also wrote that the attorney-general of the United States, a native and Republican national committee from the Midwest State, based their contention for legal recourse upon the ground that the "Howard group is violating the law by holding secret caucuses and naming delegates to the convention without properly advertising the dates for elections." Thus, a custom long in vogue in Republican circles in the South has been taken cognizance of, outlawed and restrained by a court of equity, and, whether the Howard administration in Mississippi is guilty of this practice or not. The Informer does not believe that the federal state statutes at the South have public leaders and leaders to manipulate unlawfully, prescribe, county, congressional and state conventions, thereby denying, refusing and robbing the majority of the Republican electors of active participation in party affairs and free expression through their suffrage prerogatives. If the courts of equity can not exercise their functions and powers to safeguard the rights of American citizens, without violating the constitution, then we have drifted upon evil days in the life of this republic, and the rank and file, in any political party, will be at the mercy of designing party overrides and political manipulators. For years the Informer has contended that the voters of Texas, who have been victims of such alleged "political manipulation," should resort to legal procedure and ascertain it, as soon as possible, for the ill-fated bill they filed, under the provisions of the constitution, bill of rights and civil statutes. After many years of agitation, a colored physician of El Paso finally went to court to test the validity of the "white man's primary" statute in Texas, which expressly stated that no Negro should vote in a Democratic party primary election, and that when it did, the black voters were empowered to throw it out and not regard nor count it. The result of that litigation, finally appealed to the United States Supreme Court, is well known to citizens throughout the American commonwealth; for the highest legal tribunal in the United States, the Supreme Court, is the chief judge by the colored doctor, but ruled that any legislation or action, which seeks to excuse citizens from active participation in party affairs because of color, creed on class, is fundamentally at variance both with the spirit and letter of the national constitution. The right to participate in Democratic party primary elections, he has the same right and warranty to participate in Republican party conventions said elections in this or any other state. Texas Republicans, who have been victimized for the last several years, have been forced to state, should take fresh courage from the recent ruling of the Mississippi jurist, and organize their forces now for whatever legal recourse is necessary and proper, in order to exercise and enjoy their rights as Republican electors and American citizen before the precinct to the national conventions of the "grand old party." In the meantime favorite sons are playing accustomed little games against their own. Mr. Milton that there is luck in the contestants had destroyed one eight years ago, when after all the contestants had destroyed one eight years ago, G.

It is the evil of the horse that situation when they can treat out their favorite dark horse kept in waiting for this strategic opportun- The law is very plain in this state in outlining and prescribing the manner in which calls shall be issued for party conventions, and how same shall be held and conducted; and, since these statutes were not written into the organic law of the state by Republican, and, since Democrats wrote the law and have to do with its enforcement, the Informer has Missouri's authority and its power to violate "of such civil statutes by "unlawful manipulation" of early caucuses, conventions and elections. The preferential primary acts as a double-edged sword for the Southern candidate, because they tie up the wrong candidate, like the ground hog, they may as well go in their role for the Southern candidate, when determined upon the hazard of a guess. Those who decide for Hoover's censure; and may expect to sip grass should he fail. Party regularity is their chief virtue. To abide on the party's censure, and to the new its highest aim. They are always for self-successions of the existing administration. Any candidate who fails the outcome is uncertain. "If not Coolidge, Hoover," expresses their present attitude. If both fail, they EXPLODING SECTIONAL MYTH With the titular head of the national Democratic party in the city during the week lining up things for the national gathering to be held here June 26, 1928; with the awarding of the contract for the convention of the convention hall, and the approval by the leading chairmen of the party, the architects, which will be incorporated into the massive structure; with the citizens subscribing in cash $300,000 in 10 days to the convention fund; with the appointment of the various committee chairmen and members, it begins to appear that the party is preparing to meet the meeting of its kind held below the Mason and Dixon line since 1860. The national parley of the Democrats will not only benefit, help Houston, but it will give the party leaders and other visitors from the North, East and West an opportunity to see Texas and the Southwest from a new angle, and to gather some first-hand information about some erroneous ideas concerning this section of the country. Senator Borah has addressed to the Republican candidate question the need for an eightth amendment. So far the two favorite sons, whom nobody necessarily have responded emphatically to the law. Mr. Hoover's response is more comprehensive, and he felt the weight of obligation of his words. It appears as if Senators Willis and Harding, feeling the weight of obligation of his words, They most emphatically declare that they will fully enforce the eightth amendment, feeling the likely possibility of their election. But Mr. Hoover answers as a practical stateman who answers the concrete responsibility. His answer, therefore, is not in such emphatic terms as Harding, but it will be the duty of any constituent to enforce the constitution. It was the duty of Cleveland, Harrison, Harding and Coulde to enforce the fourth and fifteenth amendments, without self-research and without How different are our Democratic leaders, who hold to the view that the South is entitled to such a gathering because the main party strength throughout all these years has been largely white, and that the South is not posing any national meeting of said racial organizations holding one such parley in the "far South"; who (said black leaders) content that since conditions, interracially, are not perfect in this section of the country, the Negroes of this section must be represented in the national meeting. If the line of sectionalism is to broken down, and if there is to be a complete cessation of the prejudices, hatreds and fears which are chiefly racial and sectional, national meetings of both races should be held occasionally in the principal Southern cities, and the South should be told that about more amicable relations between men, races, sections and nations; and it is very unfortunate when any man or organization can not disfern this patent fact. The Informer holds firmly to the belief that the time has arrived in the country for such a gathering; when there should be neither East, West, South nor North; when character and civic contributions, rather than color, should determine a man's citizenship! proach of the American people. The real question is whether the forthcoming president will feel it has to enforce the proactive amendments to the law of the law. But the others have felt the duty and responsibility of enforcing the Civil War and the law of the United States good friend of a well-known characteristics were well marked, but who declared himself a white man. One of our own marriage licenses were ordered the clerk to dethre both himself and his bride-to-be as white. The clerk, with good nature, humor, inquire the question of the Adopted License, if his intended pride is the same kind of a white man. The question of the adopted license was a white man. Unless there is a strong dethre in public opinion, it was not different from the public opinion, it was not different from the president, we shall have the same sort of verbal jugglement with pro-hilation that are not accustomed to the question of the Adopted License. No candidate for renomination or election to the presidency would dare say in open words that he will not be the president. The adot of the adot is not to be the part of the party and provisions, and no candidate who stands any chance of success will enforce either the four-year-old of the adot. The adot is not an independent amendment unless insistent public opinion forces him to it. When we shall have heard from Messrs. Smith and the other members of the adot, he is not a problem. It will be in terms of the same honied words about upholding the law as it is written. But we do not have any more information to do with it, so we should be a wholly wanting any moral enthusiasm or unswerving purpose to stress prohibition as the dominant issue of the adot. The adot is not a problem, but the law is the only way which can be dethredded by the other. But we do not have any a troublesome issue which can be banished with a generous gesture. It is to be noted that the adot is not a problem and has no possessed more of the spirit of caus-tions statesmanship than that of his irresponsible rivals. We refers to the adot as a product of the adot, but we do not, as we have, which must be dealt with constructively. And here the matter rests so far as any immediate pro-hilation is the political direction. The only hope for this or any other political reform lies in the deposition. This is the great task which devolves upon the friends and supporters of the political movement. Political pressure is effective only when it can be followed up and handled through and determined will of the president. The presidential year is the strategic time to impress ideas and priming the time to strike is when the iron is hot. It is hard to keep public attention humid of non-presidential years. More effective anti-laivery sentiment was made during the presidential campaign in 1972 and perhaps during the preceding decade. Now is the time to keep the eight-hour day must not let the crafty politician waile it with a meaningless Negroes a chance to agitate for the forcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. While the war was ongoing, the question of tariff, farm relief and flood control will monopolize political will permit it to be The moral issues must be stressed with highest emphasis whoever is chosen president, even though Hooven be that choice. Houston Singers' Musical Festival Pleased Audience (By MUSIC EDITOR) Singing to a large and appreciative audience composed of members both races, the Coleridge-Taylor Choir, the Choral Academy trained singers, lived up to its reputation as "the South's" premier musical organization in its third annual concert at the Auditorium, Tuesday night. In keeping with the club's established policy of dressing up in "o'clock, and tardy arrivals misused," opening strains of Gounod's "Song of the Day" were rendered in a very acceptable manner. The appearance of the singers on the stage, the ladies charming in their long evening gowns and the men in the formal attire, background in their conventional dress was the signal for a spontaneous prolonged sequence of repeated performances no interruption of the entire program, which included many of the artists who persons leaving the auditorium. The performance was excellent and revealed a refinement to characteristic of these Houston's. Harmonies. In the solo numbers the work of Dr. C. B. Johnson in "My Alpine Dr. C. B. Johnson in "My Alpine" coached; Mrs. Sarah Shepherd-Jones in "April Moor," a selection very appropriate for her rich coloratura sonata in "Waiting" and her encore number, "Lullaby Moon," which this prime donna did in a most pleasing and captivating manner, stood out prom- Union of Baptists Urged! By W. H. FULLER Austin, Texas The Negro Baptists of Texas are in a critical situation! In the two larger conventions confusion is rife, and further splits are threatening. The group's part of the group's part of the group's group's groups are not fundamental. They are absolutely to gather on New Testament dectries, and pretty nearly so an all denomational policies. They differ, not on measures, but merely on men—what man shall be president of this convention or that. Let us remember that Baptists do but little constructive work while they fight as they thought. But the denomination and causes fostered by us, if they live at all, must exist at a poor dryin rate. Baptists, being the likens of religious body among Negrass, present the largest opportunity for racial uplift and kingdom service. By strife among ourselves, we waste our energies and lose our opportunities and divine instruments on a sacred mission—the redemption of a best world. While we queared, Baptist schools, Baptist missions, churches, publications orphages and what not, sussuring beyond compare! A valuable plant in Texas for the publication and distribution of religious litigee's time was almost lost to the race and denomination. According to persistent reports, at least one Baptist school, worth $100,000, is seriously threatened, and may any day pass from Baptist hands. This would curb worthy economic inhibition and lower denominational morale. Worse than that, it would turn the hands on our clock of racial progress backward for many years. What Will Baptists Do About It? We cannot improve the bad situational facks. There is one sure way to not work at it. An amble Baptist family, for example, is not it time for the leader to consider the getting together of the whole Texas Baptist family, and Second, as we are now losing deep portitions, would it not be better if "hang together" as it seems almost the third, are we willing to ascend f to the higher planes of unselfish service Fourth, are we ready to forget parish matters, and give up our positions of honor, if no united action? We cannot improve the laid situation by closing our eyes to those glaring differences between our foreground and our background, nor work at it. An humble Baptist layman does not represent any convention in this article. I feel impelled to raise a few pertinent questions: How do we define Baptist laymen? Baptist groups in Texas to consider the getting together of the seven converging churches of the whole Texas Baptist family, and for the promotion of the cause of Christology, second, as we are now laying denominational property, prestige and opportunities, would it not be better for each Baptist group to agree to the same doctrine, as it seems almost certain that we are going to "hang separately." Third, are we willing to ascend from the lowlands of selfish ambitions to the highlands of service? Fourth, are we ready to serve differences (which differences were more sentimental than fundamental), subordinate our conventional pride, give up our positions of honor, if need be, in the interest of harmony and How the Unimight Be Perfected As the first step looking to the pe missionary and Educational Conventi sion, Mr. R. Prince, Pt. Worth, president; the Third Conventi (of) which Dr. A. L. G. F. C. Curry, San Antonio, preside n nine members from each of the con ference separately, one day jointly such unification of the Baptists of To As the first step looking to the perfection of this union, let the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention, of which Dr. E. Arlington Wilson is president, meet with Dr. R. Prince, Pt. Worth, president; the Baptist State Convention (known as Third Convention) of which Dr. A. C. Smith, Richmond, is president, and the Baptist Convention, (just organized), Dr. G. F. Curry, San Antonio, president; nine members from each of the conventions named, said commissions to meet in the same city on the same dates, spending one day in prayer and another day in prayer, to consider the possibility, if any, of such unification of the Baptists of Texas. National Conventions Connection As local churches are Baptist units, if union could be affected, each local church would be subject to the national convention of its choice. This already is the practice in several national conventions, if such can be shouldered. Local churches should be insisted on being ineligible for resolution after he had served three consecutive years. Assuming Conventions' Debts All financial obligations new holdings could be pooled and assumed in more than 400,000 Negro Baptists in the state. They were walking and working together. Certainly this is high ground, but only those who are willing to think in terms of the future will agree to "step up" to this table land and Texas Baptists in particular. In the long age, God's army, the kind of children of Inscharer men who he what Israel ought to do." All financial obligations now held against each of the existing convention could amount to 400,000 Negro Baptists by the united convention. There are more than 400,000 Negro Baptists to plate the kingdom and racial achievements of this nightly group, if they work together. Certainly this is high ground should be our aim. Only those who are willing to think in the broader terms of the kingdom and who can free themselves from conventional prejudice and selfishness will be able to compete for a better day for the Negro in general and Texas Baptists in particular. In the long age, God's arm, the Army, was facing just such conditions. It was discovered that: "The children of Inschar war men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do."

In the piano number, "POLlena," the Miss Foster, a college and musician, has maintained her place as an artist of marked musical ability, and was given musical appraisal by the huge orchestra at 11:40 p.m. m.car. BROOK COLLEGE The spirituals, junkies and folk songs were sung with a jest, fervor and a stoppered show, most notably "I'm a-Rellin", "Hard Trials", "You Deep River", "Git On Board Little Treble", and "Nobody Knows Dear Treble". The outstanding features were the ladies' chorus in "The Pancake Song"; the male octet in "Hilarious Dinner"; the older sister in the dedication of "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginia"; as encore to Dr. Johnson's older sister doing the solo part accompanied by a humming undercourts; the Houston bass song "The Haitian Street Song" with Mrs. Middleton doing the obligato part most frequently; and Gray by Miss M. E. B. Isaacs and Pike's "Meldy from the South" the final. Mrs. P. Q. Smith, directress-pianist, as usual, scored a distinct triumph with her piano accompaniment, creating a example of one of the contributing factors towards the wonderful musical aggregation. During the internship Dr. E. H. Stuart, a social worker for Social Service Bureau, which fosters the Bethlehem Negro Day Nursery, will benefit performance, spa in glowing terms of the singers and their audience, and assisting ladle and worthy causes, and扮 the singers many of the wonderful sings of the evening.

Prairie View, Texas—Dean O. A., Puller, minister-dean, Bishop College, recently. The venerable educator, who faced 1220 teachers, students, employees and visitors who has as many words as his texts as "I: am the light of the world; he that followme the world; he that because he hath the light with him." Among other things, the distinguished minister and educator said that he is the greatest those who do not believe in the Bible. Sunday school is the greatest education it is the most neglected. As the sun lights the physical world, so does sunlight the spiritual world. Man knows all the arts and sciences, is possessed with darkness equal to that which before God said "let there be light."
