Negroes Want G.O.P. Harmony RESTRAINING ORDER DISSOLVED By C. F. RICHARDSON DALLAS’ REGULAR FELLERS NEGRO HEALTH WEEK Boarding the Sumbeans, the newport, dawned on the Southern Pacific lines from Houston to Dallas and Fort Worth, last week. A. G. Purtkins of Galveston, H. L. Mims, H. P. Carrier, and N. Dudley, Jr., all of Houston, this columnist and statewide conference call by the Independent Colored Voters’ League of Saturday morning followings. Upon our arrival in Dallas our party was met at the station by Editor Secretary Clark of the Negro Chamber of Commerce and their official photographs in the Python Turtle Museum where we found some of the advance guard, Judge R. D. Evans of Waco, ready in the city. By telephonic communication we soon got in touch with the Lowden field instantiants, who had merely availed himself of this opportunity to meet a wide circle of the state. Before removing to New York City several years ago, Mr. Chickens the championed Dallas and environs, and, like the ancient warrior, after defeating all cones and gorers there no other pages and pseudo-pups to battle and defeat. A group of contested Dallasites, headed by the championed Dallas, pointed to the federal district embracing W. S. Willis, H. A. ("Pops") Strickland, W. Willie Ewing, W. Rice and W. S. Willis, cells in the city might face a courtmenity committee. To be brutally frank, when it comes to entertaining visitors those Dallasites are “regular fellers.” As usual, we were domiciled at Hotel D'Rice, presided over by one of the most charming and pleasing hostesses in the world (and we are not covering too much territory when we make this declaration), Mrs. John W. Rice. Having read our column so much about the Rice home and hospitality, Colonel Leach, who had a share of us in the city, and indicated his preference to share our room with us. To this arrangement we finally but reluctantly consented, for we knew that once Lyons shared this species of Southern hospitality, the Rices would merely be making trouble for themselves. Dallas did herself proud in entertaining and caring for this meeting, which was the most epochal and representative ever held in the Lone Star State by Negroes. With National Negro Health Week beginning Sunday, April 1, and ending the Fellowing Sunday, April 8, the Negroes of Texas will be called upon for the tenth annual time to cleanup and beautify their premises during next week. This will also mark the fourteenth national observance of this special week, and Negroes throughout America are being called upon to observe it. The cleanup campaign in Texas is being conducted by the Texas Public Health Association, in cooperation with the National Negro Business League (sponsor of the movement) and the United States Public Health Service. We wish to call our readers' attention to the following program for next week, and urge that we observe it in its entirety: Sunday, April 1—mobilization Day. Monday, April 2—Home Zyriene Day. Sunday, April 8 - Report and Follow-up Day.

Evans of Waco, president and co-founder of the Texas House of Representatives, said that the票选 was all the same as the票选 that the Republican had, was a Democrat of 10 years standing; that he favored full participation in all partisan elections and conventions, whether Republican or Democratic; that he favors Governor Al Smith of New York for presidential nomination by the Democrats at the Houston convention. "We need some friends at home as well as in Washington, D. C," the speaker asserted, "and I am likely to be able to have more time to arrive in Texas when we should divide our support for the票. Not much to do, but particular party." The following were appointed on black Democrat and Al Smith, the enrolment committee: Judge A. G. Perkins, Galveston, chairmen; H. C.

Thomas, president of the Wash. State Energy Commission for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. Hoover has promised to investigate the entire situation. "Secretary Hoover granted our committees, composed of Messrs. Nelson, Pinkett and Johnson, a heartfelt complaint against segregation in the census bureau, where there are 18 competent counsel, segregated in the census bureau of houses, and sub-chief. There are also five colored clerks confined in a room by large building of this same bureau. "We presented arguments against segregation and the whole injury it caused," he said, sympathized with our protest and that he didn't know it existed in his department. He said he would look at the department and that he disapproved of segregation. "We then told him the small number of Negro clerks in the main building, and we told him the number in this vast structure, only three are colored. We told him of the superior education in the civil service because the whites of their calibre could get far more remunerative employment. We told him that the civil service adhered to the merit system, there would be dozens more of Negro clerks appointed. We told him that into the whole situation and let us know. He sent me a letter yesterday, may that the director of the census department be informed that he is taking the case under advisement with him." We reported that the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and allied groups are seeking to obtain some definite statement in the treasury department. DECLARE PEACE AMONG FACTIONS AT LITTLE ROCK Little Rock, Ark. —(ANP) After twelve years of exclusion of Negro Republicans from the various councils of the state, a new election action was rendered to the demands of our citizens for equal rights in all county and township counties. Pulaski County Publication Convention with 168 members of the black and tan township councils met in the township mere Auditorium to select the 20 delegates, to the Fifth Congressional District and state convention and to name members of the county central committee. Negroes were given one-fourth republican votes, and members of the Judge Schapil A. Jones, who recently organized the Negro Republicans of Pulaski County, were given a fight for recognition in the national convention at Kansas City in June. Harmboy prevailed throughout the meeting and the Negro Republicans in all county conventions to be held in the state. They will be elected delegates in all county conventions and will serve on all committees. The state convention will be held at Russellville, May 3, and the delegates will be called "big four" to the national convention. RE-ELECT DAVIS COMMITTEEMAN; ALSO DELEGATE Atlanta, Ga.—(ANP)—At the recent state convention of the Georgia Republicans held here, B. R. McCormick, a commissioner, returned to his place as secretary of the Republican state central committee and assured us of one of the delegates at the convention to be held in Romeo City. O. P. DeWALT, Houston, owner Lincoln Theatre, "South's finest race playhouse," who was endorsed as delegate-at-large from the state to Republican National Convention at Dallas last Saturday. COHEN'S BATTLE TAKES NEW TURN; SUITS ARE FILED New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—The factional fight between Republican members of the Republican state central committee developed another angle when Wal-Mart filed a civil district court against M. F. Dastugue, et al, asking the court to give control of the committee to the Republican state central committee, not just the Dastugue faction from interfering with the Cohen committee. An allege that the Cohen committee members were legally elected members of the Republican state central committee was the defection of their election was filed with the secretary of state. It is known that the Cohen committee claim to have been likewise elected and that the Dastugue members from the civil court preventing the Cohen committee from exercising the functions of office. The suit against the candidates be declared the proper and only Republican committee, or service office without interference.

C.—(ANP)—to the fact that Negroes hold the balance of power in several Northern states, it is believed that her Secretary Glieson's letter stating that the Negroes had no vention in Kansas City would be quartered at the Y. M. C. A., instead with the whites, will be recalled. The announcement contained in Glennson's letter brought a howl of disbelief at the announcement that it was believed that the Negro delegates would be more comfortable with the idea that the city was pointed out by Ferry W. Howard and Ben J. Davis, national committees from the Southern Conference, that when Kansas City was selected it was with the argument that there would be no "aggressive" Gothic man.

C. Hutcheson, Jr., Friday, March 23, 1928. The taking of testimony began Friday morning and continued until Monday night, March 28. At the close of the testimony Judge Hutcheson stated from the bench that filigram had failed to prove any claim, and on Tuesday morning, March 27, the temporary restraining order, issued on February 18, 1928, against a named corporation, was dissolved. It came out in the trial that this suit was instigated and is being pushed by Charles A. Chandler, at- New York City.—(ANP)—For the first time since records have been kept, Georgia and Florida were included on the roll of honor prepared by the Federal Council of Churches and composed of states in which there were no lynchings during the past year. According to the Council's report, forty-one states were free from lynching during 1927, which established a high mark. All except one of the seven states that had lynchings in 1927, have been on the honor roll at least one year since 1922. New only one state in the country has an unbroken yearly record of the crime of mob murder. “The gain in territory free from mob murder is to be attributed, I believe, to the pressure of public opinion, which has been greatly stimulated by the white and Negro newspapers of the nation,” said Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission, which has headquarters at 165 East 22nd Street, New York City, in commenting on the roll of honor. “It is significant that ten of the sixteen lynchings last year occurred in two states in the Mississippi Valley,” he said, adding, “The pressure of public opinion against mob violence should continue and increase until every person in America, regardless of race or color, is safe and secure in any state.” WHITE ELKS SEEK TO HOLD MEMPHIS ELKS IN CONTEMPT Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—A petition has been filed here in the chancery court by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge No. 450 of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, to show cause why they are not in contempt of court for using the word "Elks" in referring to their lodge and activities. The members of the white order declare that the Negro Elks were restrained from using the name Elks, and insignia and ritual by a court order handed down in 1809 and further claimed that the Computer Lodge No. 450 has violated this order. The petition for citation reads against S. W. Quills and R. Q. Vexon, office of the lodge, and R. Church and Janet Wright on members. 5 PRICE CENTS NUMBER 46 nony LVED corporations ner Status; arges Hokum on Dismisses Temporary Victory Seen For Wealey s—Damage Suits Filed bainst Oklahomaans torney for Ingram, who was formerly a law partner of Wesley and Atkins, and that Chandler brought the suit against Wesley and Atkins, who they moved to Houston, but never paid for the name. It is also reported that Weekly and Atkins brought suit against Chandler to recover for the law office before this suit was brought by ingram in federal court. Weekly and Atkins received his share of the fee which he is suing to recover for Ingram in this action. Already C. F. Richardson and G. H. Webbler, president-editor and activer-general manager, respectively, and the Real Building and Lots Association have brought suit against Ingram and Chandler in Missouri, Oklahoma, for the damage caused by the bringing of the suit in federal court here. SUPREME COURT MANDATE TO BE ENFORCED IN NO New Orleans, LA—(ANF)—The state supreme court has ordered the mandate of the United States court to move in the lawsuit against Joseph Tyler against Ben Harman put into effect by the civil defense department in favor of Harman. There are said to be 1185 or more similar segregation situations affected by the manifest Inani, Orani, Patah, Tyler, and the Hathaways. The whole of the region had a significant impact on the state. He maintained that the real-govern. He maintained that the real-govern. The government was upheld by the civil district court and affirmed by the state supreme court. Haraun, through his attorney, Lays Harbeam, took an appeal to the United States and the government. The government was the ruling of the state supreme court and held the segregation, and the state was unconditional. Wednesday, Tyler, who abated the homestead in 1236, was able to find a 512,407.00 damage out in the same court, for obtaining the alleged illegal restraining order. The plaintiff took to recover 55,000 for humiliation and embarrassment. 56,000 for the loss of the property, and 56,000 for Jans and the absence of the restraining order. It is said that other suits of the same nature will be filed.

SABINE RIVER BLUES Sung by Texas Alexander RACE OKeh ELECTRIC RECORDS GENE PHOTOGRAPH CORP. 25 West 6th Street, New York Mel No. 339 Dallas, Texas, March 21, 1928. Texas Baptist Brotherhood: I am writing to ask you a question as men of your race and as leaders, as constituents of your church and as Christian men who believe in Jesus Christ. I am asking at this late day, have you all gone crazy? or have you lost sight on our Savior? Can't you see that your plans and methods for the last ten years have been an open failure? We have not religion and sense enough to stop, turn around and take up your not religion and sense enough to stop, turn around and take up the good of the people for the good of the church? We have been dragging along as a demonstration doing not religion and sense enough to stop, turn around and take up the good of the people for the good of the church? We have collected $250,000 and have nothing to show for its value. We have collected $250,000 and have nothing encouraging—nothing tangible to look to with the kind of men are attempting to put on the people. You say you are going to make a presentation, bring the paper here, to show you how uneasy and how unthoughtful you are, and go to Hall on Howard Street made you take the paper out of this town and you go to Hall again, now you are going to bring that same paper back in the town from which you has been driven out of town. Here we go! We have no president of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention. It has not been agreed upon and will not be agreed upon until the people are satisfied. You are holloing: "Peace Peace, Peace." There can be no peace at the sacrifice of the principle. You keep sticking a knife in me and I am bleeding, while you are holloing "peace." There can be no settlement until it is settled right. You can overpower a man or you may wire-work and scheme and play a trick or two, fool the majority of the people and get by, but it will all come back to you again. "Vengeance is mine," sayeth the Lord, "and I will repay it. He that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; he that soweth to the spirit it shall of the spirit reap life ever-lasting." "The Baptists of Texas must be revolutionized and renovated. I know that revolutionizing is very exciting. I take the position that if Rev. E. L. Harrison is not regarded as the president, then we have no president, because he was elected by the man who was the president of the people is the voice of God." Our Baptist Association The Northwest Baptist Association richest region, most prosperous region, with the highest class of Negroes of Texas in it, a class clam of Negroes of Texas, founded by Dr. A. R. Griffin, Brown and myself, a splendid school, with 200 students, with a budget of $2,500, Baptists; with more than 100 churches, little and large, with the administration of the R. E. Arlington Wilson. The school is closed, the school is closed, the beautiful church at Sherman. The school failed under this reverend. R has not been able to reopen this church. THOUSANDS IDLE IN CALIFORNIA San Francisco, Cal.—(ANP) —It is estimated that, more than 170,000 men are out of work in California. They are borne on the board commissioner's office. It is the greatest number since 1921 and affects the state more deeply by reason of the lack of employment were able to subsist on earnings saved from the war prosperity lined in San Francisco and hundreds are being fed daily. In Los Angeles the men are less organized and actual hunger is said to exist there. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of the "groud" Macedonia, the great pupiliter, the splendid orator, a great teacher, the splendid orator, the time, but he can't make the grade in Northwest Texas Association still. Should have raised $20,000 for missions and education last October and instead of that they raised about $10,000 for them you are trying to put that same man at the head of the Baptists just before you leave. In answer to the many letters I received from students, his good looks, his oratorical ability, his eloquence as a speakee, his build us colleges and schools, his financial ability, with some financial ability; he must be able to deliver the goods. He is the trouble with us, I being the pastor of the school, and the pastor of Macedonia Church, Yof say why not let's take everything for myself. My friends, you cannot do anything when you are self-conceited. There is nothing in this world between us. I love him as I do any other. He is a maker; but he lacks business qualities and tact to build up a great community school. The Baptists must get right. Selling the property at Houston and doing away with the Houston Mission is one of the biggest challenges to 140,000 Baptists. I, for one, will serve notice on you now that I am an apostle of the Mission and will still and wait until you sell and then there are enough of us people who are opposed to it, who will go into the church and buy the money as soon as it hits the ground. I just want to see if those people are opposed to it and they are. People are urging me from all over the state to stop the distribution of those gentlemen from doing anything they are big enough to do. The Mission Mission is disturbing those gentlemen from doing anything they are big enough to do. The International Mission chartered, and under the charter the board of trustees cannot do anything they have done. The Mission Mission is not invention. The Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention has never ordered the board to sell or distribute money to them or anywhere else. But they did order them to borrow money and erect churches or posed of churches and associations. They elect messengers to go to this body and there to deliberate for Before the school can be sold, we have to have it authorized by the church through the school who come up to the convention to do it. This can be done. It will not be carried out by the school, carried out of course, the lawyers are hungry and want money and will do things to draw out these long liabilities because it makes business for them.

The awakening in Arkansas to the value of schools for Negros which resulted in a tour this spring by the governor and commissioners of the nation. The previous outstanding Negro schools of the country, will have its fruition in the development of a much greater state institution.

Prof. Malone, who is a native of Louisville, Ky., is a graduate of Hampton, State College of South Carolina, and has studied at Cornell University. His wide teaching experience includes Tucker, Elgin, Western University, Topeka Institute, County Training School at Chapel Hill, N. C., and A. & T. College at Greensboro.

L. Foster, has adopted new methods of securing employment for applicants. Realizing that one of the charges made by business enterprises using salesmen, that Negro applicants had not been trained for the position applied for, a class in salesmanship has been established at the League headquarters. The course extends over a period of eight weeks and several firms have promised to employ those who complete the course. Another method I will use to reflect conditions in the solicit the aid of various fraternal organizations. The Maomó have established an "employment committee" whose function it is to find employment for as many of the unemployed as possible, and to report to the Urban League any positions available.

Colored Business-Land Association Land Employment Colored employment conditions for Houston showed a slight improvement during the week, according to a report to the board of the Colored Business and Laboring Men's Association.

The record of the employees in- rean conducted by the association, 8071 Prairie Ave., shows that there is a great demand for colored women in domestic service, such as cook, maids, nurses, etc., and from 10 to 30 applications are received daily for such help. The committee has sent out more than 700 letters to the colored business and professional people e.g., the city asking each to contribute at least $1 to the advertising fund which will enable the association to conduct an ex- tensive campaign among the employees, in helping to secure jobs, with a living wage, for the unemployed.

Never has the screen offered anything to compare with "The Big Parade," King Vidor production for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, starring John Gilbert, which is now showing at the Zoe Theatre. It is a picture that will haunt the memory forever. To see this amazing film is to live through the period of the great conflict as only those who reached the front lived through it.

PAGE SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS LEAGUE SURVEY IS ENDORSED BY BLACK LEADERS Tunkee College Institute, Ala.—(A-NP)—Business leaders of the country have identified the nationwide survey of Negro business in Herbert Hoover in indowing the nationwide survey of Negro business in Negro Business League. The survey aims to discover the facts concerning the status and condition of business in Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the North Carolina Negro Business League, calls attention to the frequency of Negro investment in property which has been proposed on account of low rents and the small volume of business done in the region, so that they are located. It would be well for Negroes to have to advise businessmen to be more heavily in projects of that nature. Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opportunity, looks to the business survey for the best grounds for determining what is wise and what is unwise in Negro business. The most approved on random guesswork have at base any sound economic principle of failures come to, what projects should not be done by one economic group circumcised by a larger and stronger In the opinion of John W. Rice, editor of the Dallas (Texas) Express, “the material gathered from such a project would constitute the most direct means of discovering by expert study, the vital needs of Negrees today, and would give a basis for very intelligent help—the thing to which the league is now efficiently dedicating itself.” “It is about time,” states Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeast Life Insurance Company, that we attention the hit-or-miss plan of establishing the Negro business and that we try to embark on a general plan of organizations that are needed and that have a reasonable chance of success from the beginning. Too often we have established a good business in the wrong territory and it was destined to failure from the very beginning because it did not have the proper location for its development. I hope that it will be possible for the survey to be of help not only to those businesses which exist, but to those which are to be established in the future.” F. C. Rassom, manager of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, agrees with Mr. Pace that the firm would “be of great help in the matter of giving definite data on which to base future activity.” He adds that it “will be stimulating and encouraging to Negro business men throughout the country.” WATTE NYSTE TONIC for week back, aches and pain in the back, back pain, vitality for men and women.

LESSON TEXT - MARY 2:17-24 GOLDEN TEXT - Whoever will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cresus and follow Me. PRIMARY on the cross and follow me. THE PRIMARY TOPIC - Jesus (the Great Beta). JUNIOR TOPIC—The Heróism of Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-RC—The Cost of Being Loyal to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-RC—Jesus Interprets His Messiahshila. I. Peter's Confession of Christ (v. 27-30). Two questions of Jesus provoked this confession. 1. "Who do men say that I am?" (vv. 27, 28). This question referred to the opinions of the people regarding Jesus. Some believed Him to be John, the Baptist, some Elijah, and some, one of the prophets. They all recognized Him to be a teacher or prophet with more than human authority and power. Jesus was not content with this acknowledgment. Had He been satisfied with this He would not have been molested in Jerualism, for the Jews willingly acknowledged Him as much more than a human teacher. 2. "Who say yes that I am?" (vv. 29, 30). Jesus persistently claimed to be the God man, the very Son of God Incarnate. He wanted the personal opinion of the disciples concerning Himself. II. Jesus' Teaching Concerning the Cross (vv. 31-33). He received the disciples not to make public His Messiahship as that would precipitate the crisis. The disciples had much need of instruction yet, to prepare them for the crucial hour of the cross. I. What He taught (v. 31). (1) "The Son of Man must suffer physical wretches. He suffered physical wretches and hunger, ridicule and contempt and even misunderstanding, and he suffered the chief priests and saints." These were the nation's official representatives, the very ones who should have known the mission, and even the chief priests and saints. His reception on the part of the nation. Truly He came to His own and His own received Him not (John 1:11). His reception was starting to the disciples. They had not yet come to realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion and the cross, and that the sufferings of the utterly incomprehensible to the disciples. He showed them that this would be the glorious issue of His death. 2. How the disciples received His teaching (v. 32). So unwelcome was His teaching to the disciples, the spokesman of the disciples, reined Him. Peter later saw through thinness the light of glory on the hilted arm. He rejebels Peter (v. 33). Peter later plainly that his attitude was due to his being under the influence of the devil. He went to Jerusalem to Die (Mark 10:23-24). Jesus went to Jerusalem with the consciousness of the world tragedy of the death of John, the fiery persecutions of the priests, the unjust judgment, the mutilation, the murder, the scourging, the beating, the cross between malfacultors, the nails and the spear all were spread out, not by external necessity but by a fixed purpose. He had not only come to minister but to give His life a chance to look at the victory which was to be accomplished through the shedding of blood led Him forward (Heb. 12.2). **I. The Cost of Discipleship (Marcus 1.8)**. The law of the Christian life is suffering. To follow Christ means to turn one's back upon the world. To be Christian means to hate the war of the world; to be Christian means to share Christ's suffering. There must be denial of self (3.1). Only Christians deny self; between self-denial and denial of self. All people practice self-denial, but only Christians deny self; between self-denial and taken up (t. 34). This means the suffering and shame which lie in the pathway of self; means suffering (11 Tim. 3.12). 3. Christ must be followed (v. 34). This means to have the mind of Christ (Phil. 2:5) and to perform the work of Christ. The closed issue of following Christ is life of fraternity here and now, and eternal life hereafter. Must Cry Unto God It is not enough for the soul to be in need; the soul must also cry unto God in need, but need with crying is the bribephase of prayer.

THE GROCERY BUSINESS IS BASED UPON FREQUENT TURNOVER OF STOCK AND SMALL MARGINS OF PROFIT Some Tables that Should Help One To Direct His Efforts Accounts in Department of Commerce figures, there are about 6,000 Negro business owners in the National Negro Business League comes the disquieting information that far too many of our grocers are doing less than a thousand dollars a month. Here, evidently, is a situation that needs a very considerable improvement. A perusal of the study of operating expenses of retail groceries prepared by the Harvard School of Business Administration based upon a survey of 1,000 grocers that are close some information that should be helpful to any merchant in that line. The most important finding revealed is that there is a very small margin of profit in groceries that of merely 1.5% being found to prevail. The business success is entirely dependent upon turning over the stock as often as possible during each year. Seven times seems to be about as seldom as a store may turn over its inventory and continue to sell. The average turnover is about 1.5% surveyed. Even if one has but a small stock, he can take his profits and turn the invested money back into more stock ten times each year, the turnover that is, if efficient methods to keep down expenses are used right along. Where Money Comes From Staple groceries and canned goods are found to constitute 55% of the sales in the average neighborhood store. Fresh meats account for about 29% of the business done. Fresh fruits averages make up another 20%. Fresh meats and fruits account for about 20% of meats and bakery goods create the balance of the hundred per cent volume. How the Money Goes Out One must watch the expense of do it will shrink to the vanishing point authorities for the average costs armors; $8% boxes and wrappings; $8% dage; $2%, rent. $1%, heat and light equipment; $2%, total equipment; $2%, total interest, $1.1% from bad debts; $4%, total expense, Grow margin possible in meeting project requirements; any one of the fixed costs exceeds a make an effort to balance the budget to a uncharted direction.

To invite disaster. Better too much than too little One must watch the expenses of doing business, also the margin of profit, which is to the vanishing point. The table set forth by the Harvard Institute of Business Administration is as follows: Total salaries and wages, 10.9% of gross sales; advertising, 3%; boxes and wrappings, 8%; delivery, 1.2%; office supplies and postage, 1.1%; insurance, 2%; repairs to store equipment, 1%; depreciation of store equipment, 3%; total interest, 1.1%; miscellaneous expense, 8%; losses from insurance, 2%; gross margin possible in meeting prevailing prices being 19.8%, the net profit is but 1.8%, which is ample if there often enough turnover. Where any one of the most excesses the average mentioned, it is well to be aware that the net profit may be reduced in some other direction. The record of his business may be comparing these percentages with the figures for his own business, determine for himself if he is doing business upon the generally accepted average and expensive things for which one might otherwise be unprepared. The item of depreciation may be explained by saying that this figure is the num that should be set aside regularly for the purpose of replacing equipment and furnish when they shall have worn out. This prevents an organization from expensive things for which one might otherwise be unprepared. Of course, the figures submitted above are not absolutely applicable to all businesses, but they are generally and taxes vary with the communities, and so do some other items, but on the whole these figures may be accepted as a practical guide to a grocery store. One of the phase of business practice in which our merchants too often are negligent, is the matter of advertising. Progressive merchants keep up with the latest trends in advertising, and the public gate by newspaper advertising, handbills in the immediate neighborhood and by having it placed on advertising matter sent out by the press.

LINDBERGHING IT FROM LOS ANGELES TO SAN DIEGO, CAL The day before, a plane in San Diego had "nose-dived" and all five occupants were smashed to in a stand death. So when I climbed into the great tri-motor all-metal plane at Rogers Airport, although the huge bird can carry twelve passengers and baggage, I was the only passenger. I had eight good reed chairs, with cushioned seats, all to myself—besides the four seats in the smoker forward. Back of the cabin space was a door leading to the lavatory and one into the hollow space of the tail. It is like riding the air in the belly of a great aerial whale, or, when one looks out at the giant wings of the monoplane, it suggests some prehistoric saurian vulture. Having the whole cabin to myself, I wandered from side to side and from the front where the two pilots sat, back through the lavatory room into the great metal tail-looking out of all the windows as we sped at 90 miles over city blocks, farms, grassing cattle, mountains, and a long stretch over the blue Pacific. I noticed that when we were land surfing the pilots flow a mile and a half black recording to the altitude indicator, just where we were skimming along over the Pacific waters, the cost was too far away. It was clear business, else the margin of profit.

When close to the surface, we seemed to be going fast, naturally, but when over a mile high, we seemed to be creeping when we looked down at the earth—although the speed all the time was from 90 to 100 miles, according to the air-speedometer. This is due to a well-known visual illusion, which also causes a plane far away to seem to be creeping, especially standing still, when viewed by standing on the earth, although the plane may be accomplishing a speed of 150 miles per hour. When high over the city blocks of Los Angeles, the great squares seemed so small that the nose of the great plane seemed to be ten or fifteen blocks ahead of the tail; and, as it would take a minute or so to bring the tail over the same block where the nose seemed to be but a minute before, the illusion is that it took a whole minute for the tail to come up to where the nose was a whole minute ago—terrible creeping!—but nearly two miles every minute when measured on the ground—never, those miles from that altitude looked but little longer than the plane itself. From a mile and a half up, speeding autos like creeping things, running the distances between streets often enough, but the blocks seem so short—like streets laid off in a toy city. Huddled cattle looked like brown, black, and white, and unlucky you look very carefully, all stalk to me. I was in a place of painted things or clay-stalks.

No tight, nerve-breaking holding to the steering wheel in the air, there are no rough places in the air, and no dangerous corner; no hollows. When the plane begins to leave the ground, it is if ascending a very steep hill, and there gives the same feeling—a wonderfully cushioned delicacy, not a bounce.

The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Snap-Shot Independent Voters' League (By O. P. DeWALT) The presence of 195 Negro leaders, who dug down into their own pockets and came from outside to attend the Independent Colored Voters' League, which convened in Dallas, Saturday, March 16, to attend the Independent Negro has arrived, and presents the dawn of a new day. A jungle scene of railroad encampments that are provided for the less fortunate citizens of Texas, were responsible for a large number of this delegation to go to more remote areas, such cat naps as could be had by doubling up on straight back seats, and a whole seat to himself. Human societies and other welfare organizations, including the church, can only work on this sort! Maybe our foreign missionaries would have better luck if their doctrines were preserved in the Negro literature, and Christian white people are broadcasting to all parts of the globe, and Africa, China and India. Back to the point—the were two distinct types of colored citizenry in the past, white war horses, who bore the scars of many battles, and the brilliant youngsters, fresh from the best schools, holding and in holding their hands the key to the Negro's future political, educational and industrial opportunist types had a common end in view—unharmed, full-fledged American citizenship; but differed in their training, their time and their reminiscence—they turn G.

"The occasion which brings us to gather today to counsel and lay lay hands on the future political action and partisan activities of the vast horde of black men on the continent, is indeed epocalyptic and truly laden with many possibilities even after action we take here in convention assembled, of a positive or negative, definite or equivocal manifold of political future of fully 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 other residents of the state," the representatives we on this amply eloquent occasion, let us act wisely and "In view of the fact that we have been partisan outcasts and political extremists in the quadrenniums; and, in view of the fact that this is presidential election year, when the American voters will be able to elect a candidate to the office of president and vice-president of this demonstration to so deliberate and act as to make possible the regaining of some of the losses we have lost during the past years." "The Independent Colored Veterans League of Texas, being an independent organization, should not permit this fact to actuate us to straddle the fence on any of the electoral cones and interest in the election and the nation." "The importance at this hour to the Negroes of Texas is not office seeking, domination of any partisan organization, or fanning the fires of racial antipathy but active participation and deserving representation in partisan affairs."

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY MARCH 31, 1928 RECENT DALLAS CONFERENCE Elsewhere in this issue appear the two principal resolutions introduced and adopted at the statewide conference of colored citizens held under the auspices of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, at Dallas last Saturday. The first resolution, which was unanimously adopted, outlines the policy of the league and colored electors in the various political campaigns of the year; while the other resolution, which provoked a heated and prolonged debate and was finally adopted by the conference, calls for party harmony among the Republican citizens of Texas, as well as for treating the state to the Republican National Convention, which will harmonize and iron out the internal differences and bickerings among Texas Republicans. Dallas Parley- Among the eight persons mentioned for these high honors are two administration men, who are the recognized heads of the Republican party in Texas at present, and, while neither the informer nor the politician of the Republican leaders in toto, we can not be unmindful of the fact that they are officially connected with the only recognized Republican organization in Texas. The main opposition to this latter resolution developed from this fact and centered around these two men, Messrs. Creeger and Nolte, whose administration of partisan affairs in the state has been criticized for not having they are the heads of the party organization, and can not, even by a magic wand, be easily ejected from this particular picture. It was also disclosed that both of the white warring Republican factions are not concerned in nor anxious for the "brother," but the conference took the form of a meeting to exercise and enjoy their elective franchise rights as other American citizens, and that our holden duty was not to preach peace and be actuated by prejudice, but to offer some kind of a program which would, if adopted, bring about peace and harmony in the "grand old party" in Texas. The heat of the debate against the adoption of this resolution some wild and lurid charges were hurried from the convention floor that the "race had been sold out again"; that the proponents and supporters of the "harmony resolution" had been paid a price, and that the degrees of the party's political influence and utterteness in the race's face and invited said race to take a swift trip to the plutocratic regions. These remarks and many other insinuations were made by some of the resolution's opponents, despite the fact that there was not and is not one scintilla of verity in what they said then, and that the president had not attempted the passage of this "harmony resolution" being influenced or "bought." Having been opposed heretofore by some of the Republican leaders in the state, the Negroes have retaliated in kind and have attempted to pursue a similar policy, with the net result that we have always been held "irregular," before the highest Republican tribunal in the hearing and settling of our contests; and that we have always been held against the passage of our cause was that we, in our "whole hog or none" policy and program, completely ignored the regular organization in this state. In view of this fact, The Informer sounded the warning some weeks ago that the black Republicans of Texas must enter the precinct conventions called by the Creager-Nolte regime, even if they were not held at the convention; that at these precinct conventions, which will be held Saturday, May 5, 1928, we should elect genuine Republicans as delegates to the various county conventions, which will be held Tuesday, May 8, 1928; that at said county conventions we see to it that true and tried Republican are chosen as delegates to the state convention, which will meet at Dallas, Tuesday, May 8, 1928; that at said county conventions we are elected to the Republican National Convention, which will hold forth at Kansas City, Mo., June 12, 1928. Since neither the Creager nor the Wurzbach is desirous of or anxious for colored participation and representation in party affairs in Texas and the national party, it is up to the Negroes of Texas to make and occupy their own place in the Republican National Convention, state and national conventions of the Republican party. The Informer does not regard the "harmony resolution" as an attempt or even gesture towards "selling out" the race, or stiflation of our racial manhood and womanhood; but this paper does regard it as a very portentous movement, laden with manhood and womanhood. If the resolution does not accomplish any other result, it does place these warring factions on the defensive, and will indicate to the national Republican leaders and the country at large just what is the real attitude of the Republican leaders in Texas as towards peace and harmony, and participation in and participation in the war against the United States or class, in all partisan caucuses, conventions and elections, whether local, district, state or national. The resolution will likewise show forth to the national leaders of the party that, as far as the colored Republicans of Texas are concerned, they are for peace and harmony—but not at any other time. The resolution will indicate that these colored citizens are even willing to overlook past wrongs and injustices, if, by so doing, party growth can be stimulated in this state; that, representing fully 75% of the Republican voting strength in Texas, we believe that if eight delegates-at-large are sent from the state to the national convention of the party, at least two should be members of the party; that if only four are sent, then one should be a black man. Any fair-minded and unbiased person will be forced to admit that most assuredly the race has very little to lose by the adoption of the "harmony resolution" at the Dallas parley. The Informer wishes to commend the large number of colored members of the party, and this would constitute this statewide conference to counsel and act for the best political and civic interests of the race, party, state and nation. Truly new day has arrived in Texas, bringing with it a new Nigro! ed back the pages of history and pointed out numerous events in which they participated, holding them up as proof of their political skill. They were soon disillusioned, however. The youngsters called attention to the fact that the heights which they reached were not kept; that, however, in public is is as fundamental, honesty anywhere else. But time and experience had driven home their lessons of wisdom. Old men agreed with young men that straightforwardness is the only lasting foundation in politics as well as in every game of life. It is remarkable to note how rapidly Negroes are overcoming the party-phobia they have been afflicted with so long. Our chief interest now seems to be centered in a square deal. There was a few confirmed Republicans like a few confirmed Democrats, but the majority seemed to be on the mourner's bench. Large numbers of our best thinkers are being converted to the fact that there is a good deal more in common between us and the people we live among and work among than there is between us and our long distance benefactors. Believing that local conditions should determine our politics, they are not thế at the door of the economic or social party and making conscientious, consistent Democrats when given an opportunity to enter. The keynote of the Independent Voters' League is being echoed by Negroes throughout America—measures and not men; principles and not parties. The only party slave who remains in this country is the Southern white man, and, from the trend of events, it looks like he "won't be long now!" and urged to attend same and elect delegates to county conventions who will stand hard by Republican principles, practices, customs and usages that we see to it that none but genuine, true and tried Republicans are elected as delegates to any and all conventions: county, state, congressional and national; that funds be raised this conference for financing such an educational campaign, and that towards the consummation of this program a finance committee be appointed with plenary power to raise the money necessary for the accomplishment of this objective; that the voters are urged and advised not to become active or interested in the factional fight now going merrily in the Texas, but to contend and labor with might and main for a party OF THE PEOPLE. FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE. "Further, he it the sense of this convention, he votes for Texas, whatever whatever in essay to enjoy and exercise their rights to be important to come imperative to resort to legal tribunals for mandatory writs and plea, to be important to come political manipulatory, who would thwart and retard the healthy growth of the party organization in this "Also, that the Negroes of Texas no longer their cause to parties, but their cause to port and vote for principles instead of votes, such, and for men in lieu of women." Resolution Starts Fireworks A resolution which H. P. Carter of Houston had introduced in the morning, which was ruled out of order due to the fact that the temporary roll had been resubmitted in the afternoon by C. F. Richardson of Houston. The president was resubmitted in the afternoon by public party harmony in Texas and submitted eight names as delegates from Texas to the Republican convention, both vigorously opposed and ably defended by its opponents and proponents. M. Tarver of San Antonio, Rev. M. Jaynor of Houston, Nathan Johnson, E. B. Erwin, W. L. Davis of Houston, H. L. Price of Cuney and others. Chief among them was C. F. Carter of Houston, A. G.

Richardson, whose final remarks on the measure really impressed and resulted in a 61-36 victory. Mixed Delegation Is Urged The full text of the resolution follows: “Realizing that a tug-of-war, in either athletic contests or intra-partisan fights might be fine exercise and create a great furore and excitement, but gets the participants no-where; and, in view of the fact that the success of the Republican party in Texas depends wholly and solely upon harmony, teamwork, group action, unselfish public spirit, and subordination of all desires for public office, party domination and the emoluments and preferments attendant upon party control; tiring of the incessant and repeated internal bickerings of the last three quadrennims and the resultant retardation of the industry and consistent party growth in Texas; and, in order to bring about and maintain party has many and build up a robust and functioning Republican party organization in Texas; “Be it resolved that we, in convention assembled, go on record as being unalterably opposed to any movement or procedure within the ranks of the Texas Republicans calculated to retard and dwarf its health and research impact and insert its functional activities of “That as a means towards party harmony and ironing out of internal differences, that the Independent Colored Veterans' League of Texas take the position that the colored Republicans of Texas initiate and endorse ANOTHER HOUSTON GIRL WINS HONORS Miss Bernice Yates Countee, daughter of Mrs. Nannie Countee, 1318 Andrews, received the scholarship prize on medical day at Hubbard Hospital, where she was born.

A few failures, however significant, have been ignored or ignored in the Impra's economic progress and financial growth. There always has been and always will be a failure, and an otherwise. Unnecessary failures, however, must be minimized if not entirely eliminated from our group life if we fail to recognize the importance of it is sufficiently serious as we think in terms of the consequence of shaken business. We cannot operate business for the coming together of serious minded men and women in every community and scientific or military or hit-or-miss method will not suffice longer. The hour for scientific training, organized intelligence,collegial training and mass action has arrived. a movement that the Republican State Convention, which meets at eight (8) the delegates-at-large from this state (10) with one-half vote each, delegates with one customary vote each, and their four alternates), including in said delegation the following quandaries: T. P. Lee and E. A. Peden of Houston, R. B. Creeger of Brownsville, and B. Seguin of Seguin, Eugene Nolte of Segin, W. S. Willis of Dallas, Captain Antonio and O. P. DeWalk of Antonio.

Resolutions were passed unanimously, thanking the Dallas Express, Houston Informer and all other publications for the part played thus far by these newspapers in the cause of the league and race along political lines, and to express the league's gratitude to the grand chancellor and Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas for use of the temple's auditorium for said gathering. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. E. L. Harrison of Houston, after W. L. Davis had led in singing, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," while Rev. R. C.

OPINIONS PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS (By JAMES H. HOWARD) (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sixth of a series of articles on important questions who promise to figure in the forthcoming presidential campaign. Other installments will follow in regular order. The articles are non-partisan, being purely character-reversals of an informative character as revealed by circumstances and activities of the subjects at the nation's capital. These articles are prepared by a man long familiar with the news of the news of the news of the country's councilman in Harrisburg, Pa. a U.S. deputy marshal in Washington, and a delegate to many state and national conventions. He was also a planner editor, having been published by the national news service, and a publication that flourished in the early nineties. Though now a retired bank president, Mr. Howard retains an acute, analytical ability, as these stories will show. It may be well to give a closeup on some characters other than those possibilities, for one can never tell about either possibilities or probabilities in these days of hectic and inexplicable changes of public sentiment. This is an good place as any to discuss personages who, if not prospective candidates for executive place, are influential factor that must be regarded in that connection. After hearing a speech of Congressman Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, delivered on the floor of the house a few days ago, one is reminded that he is one of the rapidly diminishing group of Lincoln Republicans remaining in public life. His career has been a long and brilliant one filled with a devotion to public service. The speech we heard presented Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, to the nation as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency, was presentation of Mr. Hoover's fitness for the plan sounded more like the nomination's speech one hears upon the floor of a national convention than such addresses as are usual to the house of representatives. Burton, with rare elucidationary ability set forth the qualifications of the secretary, directing attention to the Hoover efficiency, broad gauge grasp of public questions, his humanitarianism, his charity, his love for all mankind and his faculty for diving the essential elements of a problem to the exclusion of befoging minor considerations. The self-sacrifice involved in Mr. Hoover's acceptance of public office was pictured as evidence of the unselfish character of the man. His record for service under three presidents is outstanding positions in each of which he acquitted himself with credit, was presented as an illuminating attest of ability. Mr. Burton declared that in each of these positions, including his presiding "possess" branch of the government servant, Hoover had displayed such intelligent knowledge that the American people acknowledge him as one of the most capable of the office of secretary of commerce with its maze of bureaucracy far-flung activity that commercial activity, with the world source of business information for American mercantile and commercial country in the forefront of world commerce. Mr. Hoover is regarded as one of the top-notch civil engineers of the world with private life and character that is private and authoritative scientific and technical society and institution in the world with private life and character that is private and authoritative scientific and technical society and institution in the world with biblical and domestic traditions of the Quaker religion to which he adheres and with biblical and domestic ideals. The enemy accusations to the contrary are actuated largely by ambitions that are not, based upon the substantial foundation of personhood that is Herbert Hoover's. Among the exceedingly important committees in congress requiring much hard work and close application from the chairman is the committee on military affairs. The chairman of the senate committee on military affairs which has to do with the defensive machinery of the nation is Senator David A Reid of Pennsylvania. Senator Reid is one of the Republican leaders of the senate. He is a lawyer by profession and a veteran of the World War. He is an indefatigable worker with a thorough grasp of military matters that is sufficiently embracing to make him an authority upon army affairs. Personal experiences serve to guide him in seeing that our army is well cared for with adequate appropriations for its maintenance. Senator Reid is able in debate and his arguments carry great weight with his colleagues because of their assured soundness. Being the sole senator at present representing the great state of Pennsylvania for reasons with which the reading public is quite familiar, his work is doubly arduous, keeping him constantly occupied. He swings, however, from one duty to another with an alertness and certainty that is remarkable. The writer listened, a few days later, with much intolerance to Black and white, to Black the junior senator from Alabama, to the time, when Alabama was making his maiden speech, making his maiden speech. If this was not a great commendable effort, for he not only held the attention of the older audience, but also held the continued attention of the visitors in the galleries which is admittedly a difficult matter for him.
