Church, recognized Republican leader of these parts, but with little damage, if the purpose was to dislodge him from his present position of respect and esteem with his followers here and his friends scattered throughout the country. The first barge came when G. Tom Taylor, who was appointed acting postmaster on Church's endorsement, and who was re-elected in 1911, made a statement to press, to the effect that "he lost his job because he refused to give Church $1,000 out of his salary." A school trustee election of more than usual importance will be held in the Houston Independent School District Saturday, April 7, when four members of the local board of education will be elected by the voters of this community to serve the public schools of the district for the next two years. With about ten candidates in the field, and most of the candidates being well qualified for the post they seek at Saturday's election, the Informer has been besieged by inquiries from colored voters as to what candidates should receive our support. After looking over the list of candidates and taking into consideration the type of citizens needed just now on the board of education to put a stop to the wild orgy of expenditure of public funds for high-priced administrative heads, while the overworked and under-paid teachers are barely able to make ends meet, the Informer has addressed the candidates of Mrs. B. F. Coop, Mrs. J. E. Hodges, Colonel W. B. Bates and Captain John Snell. In endorsing this ticket and recommending these four public-spirited citizens to the colored voters of the city, we are not unminute of the fact that there are other good citizens in the city who are not interested in the field the field what is termed as an "administration ticket," and that certain pressure will be brought to bear to lineup the colored teachers behind this "administration ticket." Since the colored teachers of Houston are enjoined or are afraid to participate in politics interest why are they called "administrators" in interest in "politics" to even be eligible election of school trustees? The Informer, in supporting Mrs. Coop, Mrs. Hodges, Colonel Bates and Captain Snell, has no fight to wage with or upon colored supporters of the other candidates, nor upon the other air America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1928 had a note there in 1925 it was certainly paid when due as the records of the charges connected with the postmastership received another apt mention, the master, who failed to be reappointed because of Church's opposition, stated that Church had never solicited monies to pay the charges as to appointees at the postoffice. Dr. Edward V. Sheley, acting postmaster, said the office of the Mongolian Embassy in Church did not approach me to exact any terms in the way of monetary compensation. The personnel of the postoffice, Church's support was given me without any stinging criticism. The emphasis yet believe in Bob Church and is sticking by him during the period. For him the state has the most powerful political leader in the state and has at all times wielded his influence for best interests of the city and state. PANTHER COACH IN AUTO WRECK; ARM IS BROKEN Prairie View, Texa—Jimmie Law coach of the Prairie View Panthers is in the hospital here as a result of a fractured leg when the car he was driving was sidedswiped by another passing motorist near Paige on the Austin-front road. The coach, with two of his baseball players, was returning from A u a t i where the Panthers had played two games against Dragons. The car which Law was driving was hurled over a 10 or 15 foot embankment and his left arm was broken. He talked about the elbow, according to the physicians attending him. The other two occupants of the car, B. T. Hair, William Hunt, were slightly injured. sage that certain candidates are being backed by the "administration," and that colored teachers of Houston are expected to support and vote for the "administration ticket." If the white teachers of Houston can exercise their constitutional rights in supporting the candidates of their choice, whether the public voice is "administration" or anti-administration, then the colored teachers should be permitted to exercise the same right. But whether the race teachers do or do not support and vote for certain candidates at Saturday's election, The Informer takes the position that the tax-paying patrons of the public school system are colored group, and that the ballots for trustees who will function for the best interests of the local public school system. Many needed reforms should be made by the Houston board of education, including reduction of the enormous annual expenditure of money for administrative purposes and for the importation of "experts" from other sections of the country who can be secured to come to the school which can be secured from some of the leading schools of the state and section. According to available data, the Houston Independent School District spends more than $100,000 per annum just for administration purposes, including fat and juicy salaries to administrative heads and numerous assistants; while the 1928 budget of the school district was $100,000 which can be secured from some of the leading schools of the state and section. This staggering sum for "administrative purposes" and office expenses only takes into account the expenses incident to the salaries of the superintendent, his assistants, business manager and his assistants; but does not include the other departments, such as hydrangea, cafeteria, nursing, salaries for principals and teachers, janitors, carpenters and the hundred and one other. COLORED RING CHARGED WITH FRAUD IN BAIL Preparations for the program are arranged by the New York local league of which the derman Fred H. Fred, veteran editor of the Age, is president.

Nail, regional director; Mrs. Maran Moore Day, Mrs. Adda W. Hunan, and Mrs. E. H. Women's Auxiliary, and F. H. Gilbert of the executive committee. Mr. Marshall Pastor Will Wage Battle Against Sin Here REV. THOMAS L. BALLOU, pastor, Nicholas Magic Church, Baton Rouge, will fire the first gospel gun in a concentrated attack upon sin, as Apostle Barclay Church, Baton Rouge, night, April 9, 8:00 o'clock; subject, "The Prerequisites of a Revival." Pastor E. L. Harrison and monsieur Huron have to hear this gospel preacher of national fame, who will preach here every night from April 9 to Sept. All man and woman, as well as all without a local church home, are invited to this soul-saving meeting. Southern Senator Shows Dixie Form In Opposing Bill Contest For Congress Waxes Pretty Warm In Windy City District Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The fight for Republican candidate for the U. S. house of representatives from the first congressional district of Illinois, has simmered down to a race between Martin B. Madden, present incumbent, and Attorney William L. Dawson, a prominent young colored attorney. Congressman Madden has the support of the regular Republican organization, which is headed by William Hale Thompson, Robert E. Crowe, Len Small, Homer Galin and Bishop A. J. Carey. Attorney Dawson is backed by the Deneen wing of the Republican party and the Progressive Republican Club, headed by Dr. S. W. Smith and Dr. R. A. Williams, prominent Southside physician. There are many seemingly top-heavy and unnecessary expenses, some of the sinicure or quasi-sinicure type, connected with the conduct and operation of Houston's public schools; and the poor tax payers are reaching the stage where they want more for their school tax than fat jobs and recurrent and perennial talk about revision of the curriculum (course of study). Large sums of money are spent for free textbooks, when the public schools, operating under the free textbook law of Texas, are given or tendered the use of free textbooks for all scholastic attending the public schools of the state; yet last year over $30,000 was spent here for textbooks, and the 1928 budget calls for $10,000. If economy is the watchword in national, state, county and municipal governments, it appears to The Informer that the local board of education should seek to reduce some of the wellnigh extravagant expenditures of money incident to administrative purposes in connection with the public schools of this district. In the four candidates, which The Informer has elected to represent the board, the tax payers set for the best interests of the entire system, as well as the taxpayers and patrons of the schools, and that a policy of rigid economy will be adopted and pursued; and that the colored teachers will also receive an increase in their salaries in line with the salary boost for other teachers in the system. If the race voters of Houston will miss their voting strength and help elect this election defeat at Saturday's election, why should the state not form a national committee to help their own racial group, but to the local public school system and the entire community. 5 PRICE CENTS NUMBER 47 ELESS congress Congress Petty Warm by City District right for Republican candidate servants from the first congres- merized down to a race between ambient, and Attorney William L. lored attorney. support of the regular Republi- led by William Hale Thompson, omer Galpin and Bishop A.

They must also wear the most precious green, says Elizabeth MacDonald Obereber, fashion designer in the current issue of Colleen's Weekly. Miss Obereber sets forth certain rules which if observed will make women appear more elegant. "The money agent at picking out your clothes, she says, is not so important as that devoted to wearing clothes well pressed, neatly brushed and intelligently cleaned look far better than new clothes wrinkled and stained." "Think, before you buy a dress how you are going to clean it. I think you are going to buy a plaid one; each time you send it to the cleaner you'll pay for it. If you buy will pleats, to have such frocks in dark colors or figured fabrics. They do use neat cleaning cloths. You can also glance at the glance that go with a freshly tubed frock give an astonishing amount of pleasure both in the dress and in looking at her. "Any spots should be removed with a dependable cleaning fluid immediately after taking your dress off. Wash with a grip on the vile of the fabric." "Woolen fabrics can be washed in the water, but they can be sure that the rinning water is of the same temperature as that in which it was washed. They should be washed on dry towels, after rolling, and laid on dry towels, after rolling, and in a flat position. If the towels are balanced between two chairs, the air will circulate under as well as over the measurement equipment should be taken before the garment is washed, and then the length before it is allowed to dry." Miss Orchard follows with rules for use of shearers of shearers for instance, if there is a great deal of good fur on a coat, the furrier's primary dry cleaning is bad for fur. Puts fur in the sun or near anything hot, it can be washed in the water, and it is wise to let a furrier look them over from time to time. "They are all little things," she concludes, "but the difference they make is who look well-cared for; speed Mrs. Ole will renew her many contacts over the country in the beauty industry.

Madden of Illinois is chairman of this powerful committee. He has been re-elected to every congress since. This gives him 69th position and has been re-elected four years. He is regarded as one of the most competent men who have served in the most important post in congress.

His ability concerning the many departments, bureaues and divisions and the services that encompasses the globe and includes every known vocation of thousands of employees.

THE FLORSHEIM SHOE STORE 713 Main Street DUKE STUDENT HEAR EDUCATOR IN ABLE SPEECH principal speaker at venerous services at Duke University, Sunday afternoon, Dr. J. E. Shipard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes an impassioned but easy plan for the square deal for the African Negro. Dr. Shepard pointed out that the main difficulty in the white man giving the Negro a square deal in the race was his own selfishness in the Negro's place and to understand the Negro and his mind, would strive to do these things a better feeling would exist between the races and the Southland would preclude it. The Southland would select which leading colored and white citizens would like to see a advance in the race, and the Negro wanted, according to Dr. Shepard, were justice in the court, the right to vote, and equitably in civic improvements, better schools, the protection of the law, equal accommodations on public transportation, the railroads in own salvation as a real American citizen. Agricultural products contribute about 300,000 tons of weight annually to the railroads in the United States, the wheat being one of the leading commodities. The most remarkable developments in Texas in 1927 was the rapid extension of natural gas pipe lines. The state now has more than 100,000 miles of pipeline.

BUILDING NEGRO BUSINESS (By R. RIVING JOHNSON) In a recent edition of the Pittsburgh Courier appeared a very forceful and convincing article which encourages Negroes to patronize Negro businesses because it is NEGRO BUSINESS. The article states that "An article may have the good effect of sending members of the Race into Negro stores for a brief while in an effort to beat the truth of that statement, but that the line of reasoning back of this article is fundamentally wrong is the contention of the pres- Those who advocate the patronage of Negro business simply because it is Negro business, ignore the most basic facts of economics. They tell us that the business is able to encourage and develop more business. This is sheer honesty. Let us take for example the illustration of a colorized buyer who gives a Negro merchant $1.05 for goods he can purchase from a white company. The merchant, in turn, gives the merchant and the service which goes with it are exactly the same; otherwise the transaction would not rest on a sound economic consideration. If the Negro merchant competitor handles, it indicates that his expenses are higher. Either he pays more for the goods itself, his rent, heating and lighting costs are higher for help, does not pay the necessary taxes, is not a probability of his help being received, and very unlikely, the chances are certainly ten to one that the additional $e will go to members of the other race, while our group will actually be unimpoverished to the extent that we do not pay the necessary taxes, and he insists on exacting the same profit as his competitor, else he could afford to charge a lower price. Now unless the net, and not the gross, is lower than the average, the net profit is lower by the action, and it is generally true that the net profit does not equal 5% on most articles handled in retail trade. And as a matter of fact, the other race is more successful than the other man is frequently more than the $e suggested in this illustration. Thus we can see that the race gains nothing by such a transaction, while at the same time our merchant is encouraged to continue in a business that is not as successful as the other man has not been increased by this sale, we have done nothing to encourage or promote new enterprise. Certainly one Negro should not be encouraged to deliberately give money to another who persists in operation. This same article goes on to explain why it is that more Negroes do not learn English in the United States, and the fact that the Negro does not control any of the basic industries of the nation. In substance it says that this condition hinders us from developing the proper leader skills that are essential to our nation's younger generation. This writer cannot agree with either of these contentions. The blame for such a situation is that we are not the intelligent Negroes the white race to supply us with leadership. With rare exceptions our own leaders have been men with limited vision, and we are not the intelligent Negroes the white race to supply us with leadership. It is idle talk which suggests that we can make any considerable headway in industry at this moment; it is equally idle to infer that we are not the intelligent Negroes the white race to supply us with porters. Instead, we should engage ourselves with the practical aspects of the situation as we find it today and build on what we have. We must capitalize the lessons which industry, thrift and perseverance have taught us. A wealth of glorious hair Over 6,000,000 boxes of High- Brown Hair Grower sold last year.

Hoover ran on the Democratic ticket in the Wolverine State during the 1920 presidential preferential primary, seems to be a weak and amateur attempt on the part of Texas anti-Hooverites to create an unfavorable impression in the public mind against Mr. Hoover; to question his party economy and to attempt to prove that the commerce secretary tried to possess or in reality does a possess a dun partisan personality. A letter from a friend the other day came to me saying, "Harrison, you have the folks, while the work is getting done, and let the Baptists have peace? Wilson has the office and you have the folks, while the work is getting done." This is the true status of things. I have not spoken or written publicly on the existing conditions; not even from my pulpit has the conversation since the first Sunday after the conference closed. But I am today releasing to the papers this challenge We have always heard that a half truth is worse than a base fabrication, and if the Hoover opponents wanted to be fair and plead the case, they rules, why didn't they get the facts and make them public? Here are the real facts in the Michigan situation: On February 29, 1820, Mr. Hoover was qualified in Michigan on both the first and second rounds of the presidential contest, his supporters in both parties without his consent or approval. Wilson and Harrison can unite the Baptists and save Houston College. They also have only a court judgment has been transferred to a mortgage and the Bryan Orphan Home, the denominational church for being on the reputation of the leadership and clergy, is marking time! For four months the Star has been closed; no money has been raised to liquidate debts; teachers at Houston College have not been paid their salaries and four students are and the president, Prof. J. W. Beverly, has resigned, and now selling insurance to the Western Star is about to be moved to Dallas on borrowed money. It is time to Under the Michigan law such procedure is both permissible, admissible and legal; but it is a matter of record that Mr. Hoover protested then against both parties entering his name in the state legislature as a candidate for the governor. In said pre-convention primary held in April, 1920, Mr. Hoover, it is true, received 24,046 votes on the Democratic ticket, leading such party stalwarts as McAdoo, Palmer and others; but on the same day and date the same Mr. Hoover received 24,046 votes on the Democratic ticket. (Why don't some of the anti-Hoover forces in the state write or wire Mr. Haggerty for this bit of information?) Further, Mr. Hoover received in 1920, 10,467 votes for presidential nomination in Ohio, the voters writing in his name on the ballot; notwithstanding the fact that he was not even a candidate, he was still able to receive the support and endorsement of a single person. After refusing permission for his name to be entered as Democratic presidential candidate in Georgia, California and Oregon, Hoover's name was entered, without his consent or assent, in the Republican presidential preferential primary in California, in April, 1920, 120, and received over 200,000 Republican votes in the Golden Gate state. If Wilson and Harrison will stop their ears against outside persons and push them back, they will push self in the background, and the cause of Jesus' first in conde is to share peace, and Harrison bring his share of peace, and jointly give his share of peace, and the Baptists will be harnessed and working toward the saving of the de Furthermore, Mr. Hoover's name was placed on the Michigan ballot by supporters of the Democratic persuasion, who, knowing of this distinguished American's services and contributions under a national Democratic administration as virtual food additive, filled combination, considered him fit to grace the presidential chair, despite his then known partisan proclivities. When the question was put, point-blank, to Mr. Hoover in 1920 regarding his party affiliation, he informed his supporters, both Republican and Democratic, that he was a Republican; and, when President Harding was returned victor in the 1920 presidential swaincake, Mr. Hoover was one of the first men given the nomination and he has filled it capably, honestly and efficiently ever since. I am willing to take out all culit interest, relinquish all claims to a fair and impartial attorney, forget injuries, for the sake of the cause If Dr. Wilson will call a call for churches of the convention to send him to the convention, in session of the convention, and there bring back his office and give it to the people, and let Harrison bring them to the office and give them to the office and let Harrison be恩来peacemaker and not peacebreaker, and take forget about technicalities, constitutional points of order, charter differents, and forget about friends (for if we don't, we would have anything in 18 months to raise them about) and select a third man and all the people of the convention. During his tenure of office as secretary of commerce under both the Harding and Coolidge administrations, there was no question raised as to his citizenship eligibility and party orthodoxy. He was a member of the Republican party of president above petty partisan politics, insisted upon Mr. Hoover's nomination for the presidency of the republic by the Republican party. When it became manifest that the movement to nominate Mr. Harding was more boon or bounty, that it is gathering force and volume throughout the country, his opponents became uneasy and excited and are now trying to trot out propaganda calculated to injure his chances, arguing that Mr. Hoover does not know whether he is a Republican or Democrat; in trying to prove that he is "carrying water on both shoulders." If Wilson will do this out of love for Harriet, he will To my mind, this is the most important opportunity for two more men to imitate themselves as heroes and heroes, and to be like her. "Peace on earth, goodwill toward all men. Will they do it?" will-set them up. Will they do it? above-board, and let's have pence for the lion and the lion lie down on the ground, and they them. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children." The challenge of Mr. Hoover's party orthodoxy in Texas is being made by certain former Democrats, who within recent years (since the Republican party regained control of the nation in 2010) have been called "party" and even now some of their closest relatives are still big men in the Democratic ranks in this and other states! Losing sight of the Texas Republican faction supporting Mr. Hoover, the Republican Party has Negro participation and representation in partisan affairs, The Informer still regards and considers Mr. Hoover as the most available man that the Republicans can nominate at Kansas City and beat a united Democratic party in the autumn elec- I am yours for peace among the Baptists, E. L. HARRISON, Pastor Antioch Baptist Church Houston, Despite what anti-Hoover forces say and print regarding his "dual partisan personality" and his lack of "party orthodoxy," it is rather significant to observe that no attacks have yet been made against him. He is the most important for the highest office within the gift of the American electorate. If Mr. Hoover has brought any success and prestige to the Republican national administration as a member of the cabinet through two presidential reins, why does he become so persona non digitata, bringing his party and nation in this capacity for nearly eight years? A large number of colored cottages of Houston are still out of employ. Mr. C. W. Rice, president and manager of the Colored Business and Laboring M事 Association, Mr. Rice states that the business is a bureau, conducted by the association show that there is an increasing demand for cottages in the city. The bureau received a good number of out-of-town calls for common laborers during the In its support of Mr. Hoover. The Informer does not mean to state nor infer that there are not other able and public-spirited men seeking the presidency; but this paper does hold that, in its judgment, Mr. Hoover is the best fitted and qualified for this highest elective post in the republic of the many aspirants anxious to occupy and occupy the White House for the next four or eight years. This underhand and insidious attack upon Mr. Hoover's citizenship and his right to be honored by the Republican party with the presidential nomination, should impel the Hoover supporters and backers to reddouble their efforts in his behalf, and so organize their forces as to assure his nomination at the Kansas convention in June and his election as president in November. Through the efforts of the employment survey committee of the association, Mr. Berry was appointed Battery Station employee colored women as helpers. Mr. Berry stated that his firm was the first to employ such help side of SI. As for Texas, it is time for the Hoover supporters, without regard to color, creed or class, to get together, subordinate whatever petty differences are existing among them, and get out a large vote at the precinct conventions to be held in this state Saturday, May 5, 1928. The Hoover opposition in this state is fastly developing an organizational strength certainly must not be beaten; and unless the supposed supporters and advocates, Mr. Hoover watch out, much of the favorable Hoover sentiment will be replaced with a hostility born of and for political expediency, but dangerous in its every element. The committee is still pushing its efforts to increase the number of professional citizens to raise the necessary funds to continue an extension of the benefits to the employees in the interest of the job. The party leaders backing the secretary of commerce must not lose sight of this fact, nor must they become too confident that they can triumph overwhelmingly over the anti-Hoover forces in this state and the nation; for the Holy Writ admonishes us thus: "Let him that thinketh he standth, take heed not he fallth."

This story of "Sadie Thompson" dominates the South Side of the Alkoy Aktobe who force her to confess that she is an exile from the underworld of San Francisco, Alkoy Aktobe who break her defiant spirit and gain her repentance, is one of the most vital Thompson's is the sort of screen narrative that is of interest to men and women who are everyday people, and their personalities are believable. The sitter of the former "Aktobe" struggles to decide between his devotion to duty and his former "Aktobe" forms a climax of dramatic power. In a production season of unusual promise, "Sadie Thompson" was one of the most treasures. Within the industry, it has been persistently whispered that Gloria Swanson was making a picture that would attract unparalleled attention. But she has her previous screen triumphs. This unusual advance attention is apparently being sustained by attendance at Sadie Thompson" at the Zoo Theatre. BISHOP COLLEGE (By MISS LILLIAN M.
