RICHARDSON **** NEWS VERSUS NEWS SURVIVING THE EXAMPLE DIALOGS BELOW THE WAY SIX RECORDS SMASHED Some of our ardent Hoover supporters have endeavored to glean the idea that The Informer is trying to play both sides of the story from the fact that, as a newspaper and not a subdued sheet, this paper carries NEWS, whether favourable or unfavourable to the cause and we are backing and espousing. The policy of a real newspaper is not judged by its news column. The newspaper has never played both ends against the middle and never will—informed Inferior has never played both ends against the middle and never will—informed of the editors appearing in its columns. It is rather unfortunate that the Republican leaders of the state instead of being engaged in football for a majority row at Dallas, did not follow the lead set by the Independent Colored Voter's group in Dallas, March 24, 1928, when a tentative program, calculated to restore party power and build up and improve its wield, was adopted by the most largely attended representative of the nation, its kind of Texan, the Dallas conference suggested a set of delegates from the National Convention, advising eight with one half vote each rather than four members; with all three factions being represented in its personnel, viz: T. Houston, R. B. Crouser of Brownville, Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach of the State Assembly, Attorney General Seymour, S. W. Willis of Houston, O. P. Do.Walk of Houston. Not neither factor has handled any attacks against the state assembly goes artery space with plans for a rift and division at the state convention, December 22, 1928. If the Republicans of Arkansas, where Black Republicans are fully exiled from partisan affairs for fully independent, declare peace and give the colored group one-fourth representation on the convention of the party, with a Negro as one of the "big four" delegates to the party, the major leaders of Texas should not have any less zeal for and interest in the party's growth and development in The Negroes of Texas, in their Dallas parley, have set a worthy example for the white Republicans of Texas. Are these white leaders big enough to follow suit and work for party harmony and success rather than for their personal aggrandizement? In raising $77,345 in a 10-day campaign to secure $50,000 in cash and pledges to supplement to conditional gifts of $100,000 from the central branch (white) of Dallas, and $25,000 from Jullins Rosenwald of Chicago, the Negroes of Dallas, under the direction and leadership of Prof. J. S. Rhodes, principal Booker T. Washington High School and W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, have not only pointed and shown the way along this line, but they have made it hard for other Southern cities where similar drives will be conducted. The success of this drive is attributable, not to the handsome gifts from some of the most substantial Negroes of the North Texas city (as important and desirable as these large subscriptions were), but the spirit of teamwork which actuated both workers and donors. All lines were obliterated and forgotten during the campaign; there was no grandstand playing; no publicity seeking; there was an utter absence of the comb characteristic. "If I can't, you shan't" policy—so prevalent in most racial undertakings and moments; business and professional work forsook their business and professions, and had everything in common, like the early church at Jerusalem until their objective was reached. Little wonder is it that our racial brothers in Dallas not only exceeded their quota by $27,000, but also broke six national records in connection with colored Y. M. C. A. building drives. According to Director R. B. De-Frantz, Dallas established six national records: It raised the greatest amount of cash ever recorded; it produced the largest cash producer among workers in the country; it reached its objective sooner than had any other city; its percentage of cash was the highest ever recorded; it produced more gold star men than was ever true before, and its pre-campaign machinery functioned more perfectly than has ever been true before. Houston and all Texas feel proud of what Dallas has accomplished, but it was not surprising to us, knowing the "spirit of Dallas" as we do.

Congressman Holds Federal Courts Can Assure Negro Votes Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Representative George H. Tinkham of Massachusetts showed how federal judges throughout the country could protect Negro voters, in a speech here in which he cited the charge to the jury given by United States District Judge James H.

Mr. McDonald's letter follows: "I am a Republican and I know the reason why. God knows that I have no political ambition to hold any office in the gift of a Republican president, or for that matter any man whom the people may elect as president of the United States.

She was to go to her hotel until she had first driven around the city in an automobile. Everywhere she went there the cheering was and the cheering was deafening. N. Y.

Howard and Mrs. Mary C. Boone, national committeeman and committeewoman, respectively. The delegates will go uninstructed but will probably lean towards Hoover. Speaking of the faction headed by George L. Shelden, former governor of Nebraska, but now a Mississippi planter, Hoover said: "If they can build a party in Mississippi from the ground up, that the national party will recognize in preference to the organization of long standing, then I am willing to withdraw from the party forever." Howard read an extract from a letter from W. M. Butler, national committeeman, which said in part, "Of course, the national committee looks to you as our representative in Mississippi and to the organization of which you are chairman." The Shelden group will elect delegates to the national convention, April 30.

Labit, New Orleans and C. W. Rowe, Rosedale. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Coolidge administration. The anti-Cohen delegates elected by the faction controlled by Emile Kunzt are uninstructed, but it is understood they favor Hoover. The Cohen delegates are believed to favor Loudon. S. W. Green, head of the Pythians, in a statement published Friday might, despite that the use of his name as an alteration, be deemed to have caused the Cohen faction further use of his name. Chicago, IL—(ANP) In spite of the fact that the coroner's jury has taken over a week, the murderers of Oren Stanley, who was slain here on a primary election, are still at large. The coroner's jury has interrogated a large number of eye-witnesses to the traditional testimony. Several witnesses have testified that the Deneen were in the police car, while others have fastened the crime on gangsters. The coroner reached Thursday when H. P. Gros, another Deneen worker, drew a ninety percent chance on the near west side at the time when Granady was killed and men in the car had his idea as to who did the killing, but feared to reveal his opinion at this time. Notwithstanding that the murderers would have learned that would fasten the crime upon any particular individual, police cannot have planned that the murderers will be apprehended before the case is continued. Attorney Granady's funeral was held Tuesday at the Gaines Chapel A. M. E. Church, at which time Sen.

Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP) It is a commendable fact that Negroes are accrued of nearly every census the cla- der, they are not, so far, accrued of the great amount of run running going on by way of the Pacific coast. That the prohibition department's threat to deport aliens who are confirmed offenders against the Volsted Act was no idle gesture was proved to be the only one to have been signalled that such action can be taken. For several days, F. B. Jackson, chief counsel for the department, has had the question under consideration, and he announced that deportation proceeding will be started against a number of aliens who have been constant violators of the prohibition law. Fully 80 per cent of the bootleggers and rum runners arrested during February and March bear foreign-sounding names. It remains to be determined whether they are citizens. Investigators of the department are now engaged in this work. Added to the list of prisoners will receive the attention of those investigators are Pete de Rossi and Raga Antonio, arrested at Romond, 85 miles from Los Angeles. They were riding on a truck loaded with alcohol worth $5,000 at retail prices. Victor Harris, the school was based run from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The agents were searching for the persons who recently robbed the government liquor warehouse at Fresno when they sighted the truck manned by Antonio and Rossi.

The person in question is so well known to so many colorful people of the West, that it is the West is so peculiar, that it is interesting. All the colored people of the West are shouting, lashing, Lane her mother and her sister and her brothers. Many of the colored people of the West are shouting, Lane family and know that they are all "colored," as colored people go in the United States, as colored people go in the Baltimore and Washington know this family, and one of them would find it difficult to pass for another, like a girl.

He has spoken on this subject to white audiences or to audiences partly from his cross-questioning and submitting: "Is that what you want?—Maybe that is what interacial harmony we are not discussing the merits of these questions nor the merits of colorism?

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 NEGRO ACTORS DISCUSSED BY WHITE AUTHOR NEGRO ACTORS DISCUSSED BY WHITE AUTHOR Philadelphia, Pa. — (ANP) —Negro theatrical talent is as fine and as abundant as that of white actors, but it is spied by the 'solo-importance' the race assumes as soon as it has attained. The production was an assertion made Sunday by Jasper Dester, director of the Hedgow Playwrights, playwright, playwright, and director of last year's Pultizer prize play, in a lecture on "The Negro Theater" at Kenneth Israel Temple. The character is favored by white critics, Mr. Dester said, "he immediately gets a case of self-affirmation" using self-affirmation among his own race the others display intense jealousy and endeavor to pull him down. For the last two years, they will not stand for an unequal situation among their own kind. They are decidedly easier to handle, they are more prompt and, in spite of the contrary public stories, they are more decidedly similar to that of other Citing as proof of his contention a number of successful plays staged by the Negro in the 1930s pointed out and insisted that the talent of the Negro is a natural gift of the Negro and almost an insult "The Negro is a man who goes into the white man's theater or appears before white audiences. He wants a master of his own," declared Mr. Dearborn. In Patronized By Stars "This fact," he continued, "due to the patronizing attitude of important audience members, is superintensive of his supposed inferiority. The fact that the audience victorious is also an important factor. No audience will go to see a film that is victorious in and in which the white man gets the worst end of it." An explanation by an incident during the run of Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," it was being staged in Wintersburg, and in which Mr. Deuster to part. "In this play," the speaker added, "centrated, for not only was the audience divided into black and white players, but also the play, the white man played, attack by the Negro, the black section of the white audience prepared to walk out. In the matter of fact, the director of the Hedgerow players explained, "there is actually no Negro theater, but the audience one is very good, provided the correct material in regard to play and actors is used to proper advance."

Prejudice Fighting vs Prize Fighting Prejudice Fighting vs Prize Fighting BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) Ever since Godfrey licked that Spaniard in Los Angeles, there has been a sweeping storm of sentiment against prime fighting. We, too, are opposed to the savage and commuter Spaniard to it before Godfrey fought the Bastache, and we would have been opposed to it even if the white man had won. Are all of these women's clubs, clubs, clubs, aminer" sure that they would have been equally opposed if the white man had won. Are they at least, answers for itself, in an editorial not proceeding? the fight The Negroes fighting white men is a bad thing. Get that? The "Examiner" does not say that white men fighting Negroes men fight them. The Negroes would either run or stand still and take action, but the Negroes would not be quite so "bad" if they all. Notice carefully the "Examiner" does not even say that white men fighting white men to fight each other. Now, the "women's club" are not the "Examiner," they are to be opposed to "brutal prize fighting," only the clapped up on the dakest.

PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS (By JAMES H. HOWARD) (EDITOR'S NOTE: The story following is a dispassionate survey of the department of commerce and its Negro employees. It is the first of a series of surveys of government establishments that will be offered to the readers of newspapers publishing. Associated Negro Press releases. The data and interpretations of the information in being assembled by James A. Howard, Washington correspondent, whose "Presidential Possibilities" series has just been concluded in these pages.) AN ESTIMATE OF HERBERT HOOVER The important place that Herbert Hoover occupies in the public mind is a presidential prospect quite naturally gives rise to an inquiry on the part of the Negro public as to how the browne fathers in the department must be the executive head. Mr. Hoover is the secretary of commerce and administers one of the most far-flung departments of the government service, certainly the department that has most to do with the everyday business activities of the people. He is the center of interest of our people in a phase of Mr. Hoover's career that is not touched upon in the general press, and about which there is likely to be a paucity of information, the Associated Negro Press directed its Washington representative to make a definite and definite statement. Mr. Hoover's record. The findings are here submitted; and it may be said that they are most gratifying to those with any degree of well-developed No less than twelve large bureau with a great number of service divisions, and many branch offices and offices, and in almost every one of the establishments identified with the department, colored men and women were found to be employed. Some of the men were employed in one of sorts of one sort or another, and To beautify hair naturally! others doing important work without attracting any undue attention. The functions of the department of commerce tends to keep the institution filled with the type of people whose knowledge has been likely to be acclaimed. The commerce department carries out the commerce in the more than 215 Negroes in the department service in Washington and 19 more in the field service of one bureau or the other, the income of $28,580, while the field force receipts for $23,840 each year, more than a quarter of a million dollars annually. In addition to these there are many men who have been scattered as seamen and in other capacities in the lighthouse service on tenders where the information is difficult to obtain deficient identification of the facts concerning them in time for use of the information not appear in any segregated form on payrolls and the last tabulation in 1923 when 885 were so engaged, drawing $411,700; and it is known that the number has been increased The addition of these figures, even on the old tabulation material, was made several thousand dollars that reaches the race group through department of commerce. It is inevitable that among so many there should be some who understand the process. Perhaps one with the most experience, a statistician in the division of statistics of the Bureau of Statistics, who is the senior member of that organization. He has been in the government, the only living member of the original group of statisticians that were employed in the bureau's department when the bureau was tabled to become the nucleus of the new institution, and who is still active. Dr. McDuffie is a fine old gentleman and a pioneer of American University of the class of 1888, who came to Washington from Georgia, and became then reared a fine son who today occupies a position of prominence in the high schools of the! Goneall White, Leading Lady city. The doctor, with Thomas Dent another Georgian, who is now widely known as a medical personnel deputy in the Shriners, as well as the holder of other import duties, has been involved in tabulations on ship tonnage, and custom house receipts. The work comes from the fact that the flag of the United States, into a pleasant face, facing a public square In 1913 the census bureau had occasion to assemble a group of more than 864-page report and history of the Negro population of the United States, and a 864-page report and history of the 1990 to date. Robert Pelham, secretary of the Negro academy, a department of the U.S. government informed statistician, was placed in charge of the big job that required him to write a report. The report proved itself to be one of the most popular documents ever issued to the public. Pelham pages give full credit to Pelham, Harlan, Hahn, and Jennifer. Hahn and Jennifer still important cogs in the census bureau and highly regarded as a statistician and research man by their director. In the foreign and domestic commercial literature for the guidance of American business is distributed, we find John A. Fuller, a research man, Stephen A. Fuller, a wiry, quick-thinking little colorado man who has colored pieces of business literature. His research, a Howard University graduate, who has some excellent business pro- In this bureat there is also a mall distribution service, where an average customer moves in and out of the commerce building under the guiding hand of a first-class mail, first-class mail, Charleston, who, by a way, is a Shrine of official of Mecca temple, with two chefs and five auto mechanics, and several hundred special delivery and registered packages to and from alibaba.com, and forwards several tons of supplies and office equipment during the same week.

Jackson is not enameled new to government agencies having an officer and a railway police investigator before going into compartment Alogether, it would seem that the race has fared well at the hands of the department. The human side of the secretary as reflected in his attitude is that he is more involved in the relation of an incident in which a department chauffer figured. He the man who drives the secretary. For nine months he had driven Mr. Hirsch before that worthy gave opportunity to the chauffer told him that he would like more wages, stating that he got a salary that was more amazed, and declaring that he wanted more than a hundred dollars per month gave him a check for back pay on his salary. He did noted that his salary be raised. The man has enjoyed several raises since he was hired $1500 dollars per year. This incident, more than anything else, discloses the humanness of the secret of the department of commerce mercy. FURMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 ch, Friday, Work In Do Hoover Pr DR.

Lightner, Denver, Colo., supreme clerk American Woodmen, who came to Houston to deliver an address to the local Woodmen on the occasion of their annual sermon, last Sunday, and Prof. B. K. Maynard, San Antonio, recently appointed loan agent for the American Woodmen for Texas, were the guests of the local business men at an informal affair at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night. Quite a large aggregation of Houston's leading citizens were present, and a very pleasant as well as profitable evening was spent. From talks made by the distinguished guests, it was learned that it was the purpose of the American Woodmen, through their loan agent for this district, to launch in our city a loan department, whereby loans on improved city property will be made to the amount of $100,000 at rates of interest much lower than our people have been able to obtain here to foresee. This is not a new venture with this institution, since several of the larger cities of the country already enjoy this privilege.

The weeknight attendance contest inaugurated by Presiding Elder H. S. Sims, between Wesley Memorial, St. Paul and Brown Chapel A. M. E. churches, was won by St. Paul with a 10-1 victory. The most popular pastor, Rev. A. R. Bogan, was preclaimed, and is hereby published as the most popular pastor of the attendance contest of the city. St. Paul's excellent chair won up to its reputation as one of the most musical organists in the city, and was rendered efficient service two nights. Thursday night was Brown Chapel's night and to say that her great chair covered itself with glory, is putting it in mild terms. Dr. L. J. Sanders, a former Brown Chapel feel proud of them. Brown Chapel had 68 members and visitors present, but many of them left before the count. They certainly put over a big program. Thursday Wesley Memorial was chosen because her junior chair, which had been selected for the program, was on a school program of previous arrangement; so St. Paul chair received the great and appreciative audience. Sunday's attendance popularity contrasted with the great chair, Wesley's great chair was the star performer at the 3:30 p. m. in the great church, Wesley's great church was an evangelical pastor, prescribed a great sermon which resulted in one soul being cowed by the memorial having with 108 in attendance was proclaimed the most popular and the most important content in her holy publication same.

"ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE" Opening Sale of Lots NEW INDUSTRIAL DISTRCT LaPorte It has often been predicted that San Jacinto Bay would some day become the most extensive industrial district of the Houston Ship Channel territory. Men of vision and foresight have predicted the future construction of vast docks, wharves, warehouses, factories, grain elevators, railroad yards, etc. The San Jacinto Bay is an ideal land-locked harbor except for the depth of the water. The Houston Ship Channel passes through San Jacinto Bay on its way to Houston. The Bay is wide and its beautiful curving lines are well protected by high, unbroken bluffs. The adjoining lands are well above high tide or any possible damage from back water during tropical storms. The general elevation of La Porte is quite considerably higher than the Galveston seawall. It was not thought by any one, however optimistic, that the development would come so soon. The announcement that a well-known capitalist of Houston had actually purchased most of the water frontage there, and that plans for the immediate erection of wharves, turning basin, railway yards and warehouses struck the entire Houston District like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. Then too, it was not the "hot air" indulged in by imbeculous promoters. The permits had been applied for and granted by the Port Commission. The plans were approved calling for the expenditure at least ONE MILLION DOLLARS immediately. The probable ultimate cost will run into millions more. We offer you an opportunity to come in on this almost certain increase in land values. We offer exceptional immediate acceptance, approximately 300 lots near this mammoth project, at the most insignificant of far land weable. Can you not picture the future great factories, boats, industrial works of all kinds which this gigantic program of development will bring? This sduidivision which is offered to the colored people is most favorably located with reference to easy walking distance from the site of the harbor development. The supply is limited—property so close in and with such future values in prospect, will almost certainly not be available to the colored people after this allotment is closed. Don't say five years from now that you remember when you could have bought such lots for so and so, but be busy now and ride the crest of progress to the harbor of greater prosperity. Lots priced for the initial offering at $79.50 on term of $7.50 cash and balance in 12 to 24 months. Make your own terms. EM-PEE REALTY AND BUILDING CO. EM-PEE REALTY AND BUILDING CO.

Editors and Bishops By DANIEL W. CHASE (For The Associated Negro Press) The frequent mention of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the erudite editor of the Christian Recorder, official organ of the A. M. E. church, and the oldest race newspaper, for election to the bishopric of his church, has called attention to an interesting fact. That fact is that the editor's chair has been a very prolific training ground for bishops. In fact, when you consider that the churches have but few editors, and the number of them elected to the bishopric, it is clear that the editorship is the best training ground. In the A. M. E. church, Editors J. P. Campbell, B. T. Tanner and B. F. Lee of the Christian Recorder; C. S. Smith and W. D. Chappell of the Sunday school literature; H. B. Parks, W. W. Beckett of the Missionary Voice; B. T. Tanner, L. J. Coppin and R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Review, and H. M. Turner, founder of the Southern Christian Recorder and of the Voice of Missions, were elected bishops. In the A. M. E. Zion church, Bishops J. W. Smith, Geo. W. Clinton, G. C. Clements, J. W. Walls, Bruce, C. C. Alleyne were all editors. In the C. M. E. church, the present Bishops C. H. Phillips, Hamlette and Martin were editors. Hours: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 3 to 8 p.m. Office Phone.

PITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (0. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 29 THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP LESSON TEXT—Mark 17:21-31, 31:4-44. GOLDEN TEXT—Where your trust is, PRIMARY TOPIC—Loving Jesus Dust of All. GOLDEN TEXT—Patting Jesus First, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Peril of Ridges. 1. The Rich Young Ruler (17:27-2) 1. His question. 2. What is it that I may inherit eternal life? This young man was in earnest. He came running and kneeded to Jesus. This question re- flected his love for Jesus. 3. Young man with a double character. "Jesus behold him, loved him." He gems moral, honest, earnest and cour- sioned. He was willing to do something to fill up that which was lacking, therefore he came to Jesus to make inquiry as to Jesus' really (v. 18, 19). He knew the young man's heart and put his finger on the weak spot in his life. Jesus reiterated the command that he had all his life kept these commandments, but when it came to parting with his possessions in order to help his neighbor he parried with him. 3. Lacking one thing and yet lost (vv. 21, 22). He told the Lord pointed out to him that in the life of his life was the love of money, he was unwilling to pay the price. When the time came in his life to choose between eternal life and parished company with Christ. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-27). Jesus said, "How hardly shall you possess the kingdom of God." When He discerned the atonement of the disciples he answered again and said, "How hard shall you enter into the kingdom of God." It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to possess the kingdom. The difficulty does not lie in the fact that a man possesses riches, for one man possesses wealth, for the kingdom of the kingdom. Wealth is a mighty power. In itself it is good. It will provide bread for the widow and the poor, and it will send the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The peril of riches is the ever, the step from possession of riches to trusting in them is a very short one. The tendency of growing riches is the peril of the soul. So long as a man possesses riches he is safe, but as soon as riches possess the man he is in deadly peril. The Widow Mice (Mary 12: 41-44). Jesus had spent a strenuous day in the surgeing thunder. Observe 1. Jesus sitting over against the treasury (v. 41). The treasury was the place where the worshipers deposited their tithes and offerings Jesus sat where He could see them drop their money into the chests. He saw the poor casting into the treasury their small coins and He also saw the rich bringing larger coins. It is a solemn truth that Jesus' eye always beholds the gifts of the people. We may be able to conceal them from the people, but we cannot conceal them from His eye. 2. A certain poor widow threw into the treasury two mills (v. 42) of coins, one of gold and one of copper coin mule. The mule was worth about one-eighth of a cent, therefore her offering was one-fourth of a cent in the treasury. 3. Jesus said unto His disciples, "Verily I say unto you that this poor widow lath care in more than all men" (v. 43) of "virtue" (v. 43). The Lord estimates gifts by the motive of the heart, not by their amount. 4. By what the given has left, not by what was given (v. 44).

It was epoch-making. First, the setting. Egyptian Hall is insurgent beauty. Next, the meeting. Wannamaker working over the meeting, averided that he did not know that there was such a beautiful hall in Philadelphia. Next, the meeting. Wannamaker employees, a many time prize winner; the very excellent choral singing with musical skill and artistry. Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Baltimore, Baltimore, Wilmington, from Boston to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, plus the usual delegates to the confer- And lastly, the subject of the evening—"The New Negro Tells His Story." Fourteen of the representatives of the new Negro-poet, lecturer, business man, musician, singer, social worker, professional man, author, lawyer, clergyman, contractor—all were there to explain their reasons for being, their motivation, their ambitions and frustrations. And very sharply, clearly and well-defined, comes a new note. Racial consciousness is being overdone; the pendulum must swing back. The speakers, almost without exception, seemed to stress the same point. Not racial unity so much as unity of humanity. Not Negro poets, artists, musicians; but poets, artists musicians of the human family. We cannot have Negro business, nor Negro banks, nor Negro anything. They must be banks, business, work, neither white nor black, but human. Our destinies are too closely interwoven with the body politic to enable us to draw sharp lines of cleavage. A most remarkable unanimity of thought and expression from fourteen speakers, who had not conferred previously. It is a healthy sign that we are feeling keenly that after all, we are Americans, not foreigners.

RETAIL MERCHANTISING BECOMES COMMON BOND BETWEEN NEWSPAPERS AND BUSINESS LEAGUE: DOMESTIC COMMERCE DIVISION BIG HELP TO COMING CONVENTION At the recent convention of the National Negro Press Association, the services and influence of that organization was pledged to the National Negro Business League after the newspaper men had listened to the declaration of Mr. Albin Holley, secretary of the league, who outlined the program of that body for the August 15-17 convention of the business men in New York, where "Retail Merchanting" will be the key theme of the meeting; and after they had been informed of the service being provided for the convention, the business men will be government by an assistant business specialist from the Domestic Commerce Division who had journeyed from Washington to Louisville, Kentucky, for the purpose of making clear these features of government help to small business men and women. Never before has there been such a complete combination of three such important factors of progress as have combined in the interest of business development for this occasion. The fine spirit of cooperation disclosed by the business men and women will be the satisfaction of the acceptance of modern tendencies and business practices, and it augurs well for a most successful session of the business league. So many among us hold slight esteem for the idea of a little place of business and long for what we regard as a chance to do big business; to sit in an office and dictate the operations of a great force of people. That, to many, seems to be the scene of business. You surprise some to reclaim the aspects of the mercantile situation in the business. Dr. Frank Surface of the Bureau of Domestic Commerce declares, $2\% of the business of the country is what may be regarded as small business. It is the aggregate of little things that makes our great commerce. A store that can do $2,000 worth of business annually is keeping abreast of $3,000 worth of large group of businesses. About $3\% of the merchants in a city where a special营队 was taken to do business on less. Reduced to daily terms, and measured on the six day business week, that means $1\% per day or $2 per hour on an eight hour basis, is what this site business does. It can be small a volume of business, efficiency and economy must prevail elsewhere, and is being done throughout the nation. If you are in business and doing that much, don't wait at big business, but self-examine your business and see where you are lacking in the ability that marks the average merchant. Big businesses grow from sound little businesses. Rather than complaining, they must examine the success of the business you have and you will be doing as well as the average merchant. Every day see some retail stores close their banks in bankruptcy, and manufacturers and wholesale merchants have cause to deplore the high rate of waste, loss and failure in retail business. The situation in retail trade is unbound everywhere. Distribution costs look as though they must be moving of the necessities of life from raw material to final consumption. Americans do not take kindly to the primitive merchandising of older countries where families devote themselves to operating a store that merely sells goods with very little attention to service with and after sales. The American business community has a strong American standards of living with adequate recreational periods for the employees and families of the small merchant as for everybody else. The scientific study necessary to readjusting retail business so as to provide for greater efficiency and more economics is a big job; and it is being done by the U. S. Department of Commerce. Division of the U. S. Department of Commerce. A market research section with a trained personal is, and has been, for a long time engaged in surveying the commerce of the country. Recently a small business section was created within the Domestic Commerce Division to convey to the business community the importance of working together with such other useful information as may come into its hands. Tackling a job directly concerning the many thousand small business men of the country whose investments aggregate a total reaching into many millions is a real service to the whole country. If those who may expect to work in this service, this service can be little doubt of it being of great national value. Home-Made Nurses Seek To Eliminate BY ALGERNON R. JACKSON (For The Associated Negro Press) The chap who saw a comely female up in a tree, dressed in a blue and white uniform and a white starched cap, hanging by her toes to a preparatory limb, was started. Latrin and her school nurse, Lathrop, appended school nurse, and that she had just received lesson No. 6, with complete instructions as to how to haze herself! Thousands of semi-literate damsel the advertisements which invite them to "learning nursery in their own home." That it is nursery, not a school, by mail as it would be to teach medicine never occurs to them until they attend at some government, municipal or private hospital! Then they discover that their time has been wasted, that they are ill-fitting uniform which they could have bought for a few dollars. In the mind of a layman a nurse is a nurse—the uniform tells the nurse that she must "wear her onions!" And the pitiful part of the whole affair must "nurse the gain进来 a regular hospital, the unqualified correspondence course "nurse attempts to establish her own school." An untrained nurse can do more damage in a community than six people. A careless or ignorant act may throw a whole village into an epidemic which will rapidly spread and take toll of them. That these correspondence schools should be legalized out of business goes without saying. The "quack" schools live on site for female who hope to get married in a position in to eight dollars a day. A doctor, a nurse, a surgeon, a VA doctor, a U.S. doctor. PIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN Negro School Help Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—A motion was adopted by the Eldor Ward Business Men's Association, calling upon the board of education to discharge all colored help employed by the organization, to fill the vacancies with white workers. The motion resulted from a discussion at the Monday meeting and luncheon of the association, at which time it was asked that the organization help be eliminated from the Emil Hirsch Junior High School, on Inge Avenue and 77th Street. The organization should include all of the schools of the ward and the motion passed without a dissenting vote. recently stated: "A trained nurse must know the eba and flow of vital signals. The danger signals that mark the safe course to recovery. Her mertle vouch for her. The rituals of the operating room must be first demonstration and over strict supervision until the technique is so deeply implanted that the correct procedure And to think that there are persons in this world so peculiarly constituted that they have the nerve to advertise that they can teach, by mail or through textbooks, "that in-describable look on a patient's face in the split second preceding catastrophe, when life and death hang in the balance!" They should be placed in the same category with the plumber with his bonus medical school diploma, the blue sky oil stock salesman and others of his ilk, and restrained from further activities. HOUSTON JUDGE FORMER SEGUIN MAN, FOR HOOVER **Editor's Note:** The Inferior reproduces herewith an article from the New York Times, published by bum, eminent Jewish jurist and lawyer of Houston, advocating *Houston's republican predestination* in the nation's judicial system, known as a friend to the colored race and a firm believer in fair play and justice. He asserts that the poster and ardent advocate of the secretary of commerce, and his armored deputy, must be made against Mr. Hoover's party orthodoxy and pre-British alliances. **Editor Guduela Gaszette-Bulletin:** Mr. Reno Eickenrock will probably welcome the "observation" of a former Gudaupean in comment on his own which appeared in last week's *New York Times*. I was of the impression that the character and public service of Mr Herbert C. Hoover were no commanding that it is the patriciate duty of American citizens, regardless of parish or state, to the presidency. It therefore comes an surprise to read the contrary opinion of a statement of the abil- As I understand Mr. Eichrücken, his basic objection is that Mr. Hoover, but the latter has served the nation for seven years in the cabinet of a president. But the latter has served the nation changes in every seven years it is necessary to tell us the same experience. Beside it, he doubleslue true that President Coolidge heave's party loyalty when he retained him as a confidential adviser. Heave's federal food administration, his maness; his connection with the previous Democratic administration. Trouble citizens the world over no longer find out how many offices he has held, how many speeches he has had, how many speeches he has attended, in the English parliament, the German reichsband, the French chamber, public party affiliations to satisfy their conception of public duty; even Theodore Roosevelt's own in order to defeat the regular nominee. He was subsequently welcomed back into the Republic. A second objection of Mr. Eckenroth is that Mr. Hoover "is unusually well aligned with Great Britain" in his foreign policy. Let us see. When Lloyd George threatened to abandon Belgium to her fate, Mr. Hoover threatened Great Britain with the loss of American good will. Mr. Hoover has opposed the cancellation of the debts of our allies in the late war. When the war was over Mr. Hoover started in the work of relieving the people of Germany and Austria from starvation. Mr. Hoover's activity as secretary of commerce has led the United States to superiority over Great Britain in foreign trade. Three years ago when demoralized business conditions brought thousands of German children to the point of starvation, Mr. Hoover fathered the collection of millions of dollars in the United States for their relief. Does this look like hostility to Great Britain's biggest commercial rival on the continent? Mr. Hoover opposed loans by American managers as to European countries until the time the country reduced as Germany did, their land and naval forces to a peace basis. And Mr. Hoover is known to be opposed to any American foreign policy, of the pattern of Great Britain, towards the Latin American republic. I should like very much for Mr. Eicknorr to set me right, if I am mistaken in any of the foregoing. HENRY J. DANNENSAUM. Houston, Texas. DR. C. L.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 OUR PARTISAN POSITION EXPLAINED Some of the colored citizens are engaging in surmises and reaching conclusions regarding our political or partisan stand in the Republican situation in Harris County and Texas, particularly as it relates to the regular organization headed in this county by R. B. Morris, county chairman. It will be recalled that this author was a candidate against Mr. Murray, the county chairman or chairman of the Republican executive committee of Harris County; and that a district judge refused to issue a mandatory woll compelling the Republican executive committee of Harris County to place this author's name on the official ballot as a candidate for said elective office. The result of that fight is well known to most residents of this city and section. It will also be borne in mind that, starting back in 1920, this editor has always been aligned with the Republican faction fighting the regular Republican organization, both in this county and in Harris County. He recognized the recognized organization, but because we differed as to partisan policy, program and procedure. After looking over the field of presidential prospects, this editor and paper chose to support Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, and it so happened that several of the leaders in the regular Republican organization in this city and county were and are also favorable to Mr. Hoover's candidacy. When The Informer came out for Mr. Hoover, certain local residents of the white race sought a conference with this editor, and discussed at length the political situation, particularly interracial, in this city and county. At this and subsequent conferences, we had our white conferences to understand that we wanted no financial remuneration, as such, for our support of Mr. Hoover's candidacy; that we favored the present secretary of commerce for the presidential election; that we wanted to have Hoover even if our warring factions could not get together on terms of peace and declare a partisan and political armistice. At these parliies we contended that the Negroes of Houston and Harris County, as well as Texas, did not want to dominate the Republican party or any other partisan organization; but we wanted to have Hoover participate in partisan participation and representation; and that upon this basis—partisan participation and representation—we would bury the hatchet and line up with the regular organization in this county and district; particularly; but we also made it quite plain to local Republican leaders that, while we were willing to support Mr. Hoover and attempt to work out a harmony program, we would not swallow, without protest, the kind of political concoction and partisan dope which R. B. Creeger, Republican national committeeman for Texas and titular head of the party on this state, has been dispensing to the colored Republicans of Texas during his administration. Mr. Hoover several weeks ago, we sought to make our position in this matter quite clear and plain; and later this writer was one of the moving spirits in a statewide conference, held at Dallas under auspices of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, where a program was outlined seeking to unify and solidify the belligerent Republican factions in Texas on the same basis as effected in Harris County. WE HAVE NOT "SOLD OUT" THE RACE NOR OUR CAUSE TO ANY PERSON, GROUP OR CLIQUE, AND NO ONE HAS SOUGHT TO "BUY US!" It is simply a case of politics making strange bedfellows, so (a speak, for, as stated before, both this editor and the regular Republican organization found themselves supporting and working for the presidential nomination of the same distinguished candidate, Mr. Hoover. Hoover's cause could be considerably advanced and enhanced in this section, and even the state, if all of his supporters worked in harmony and as a unit, rather than as separate and distinct units. We believe that the majority of colored citizens of Texas, whether they agree with and are willing to line up with the Creager-Note regime or not, are not unfavorable to Mr. Hoover's candidacy; for candor and frankness, rather than political compulsion unbiased and unpredicted Texas of color, we believe that the majority fitted for the debate within the gift of the American electorate, and that there is not another man being mentioned for the presidential nomination, by either of the major parties, who has the qualifications to the marked degree as possessed by Mr. Hoover. We have stated before, and wish to repeat it here, that all citizens wishing to participate in the Republican precinct conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, must respond to the official call issued by the regular Republican organization, despite the propaganda and ill advice of some of the anti-Creager and anti-Clague members. Nothing can be gained by remaining outside the organization and fighting, but much can be gained by getting inside the organization and seeking to effect such reforms. Another thing: No organization, political, religious, civic or whatnot, can thrive and grow and maintain its hold upon its constituents, if said organization is constantly and continually in an internal wrangle and factional controversy; and even the Republican party of Texas is no exception to this general rule. The Republican party of New York is no exception to this norm. BOOVER—HARMONY—HAPPINESS! The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper G. O. P. Leaders- INSTRUCTING DELEGATES FOR HOOVER The Informer has been asked by several Hoover supporters if this paper, the original (and up to the present time, the only avowed) Hoover supporter in Texas among race newspapers, is favorable to an instructed Hoover delegation from Texas to the Republican National Convention, which convenes at Kansas City, Mo. June 12, 1928. (Continued From Page One) I had rather see the no-called Republican party of Texas as it functions and stands today die; be effaced and driven from the confines of the state, and Hoover control the Grand Old Party of Texas. If E. H. R. Green, the governor of Texas, is a populist publican whom I have ever known, should come to Texas and form a political coalition with R. B. Greater, the governor of Texas, who him as the best political friend the Republicans of Texas ever had, I would oppose with every ounce of my vote. When discussing this matter on two former occasions, The Informer took the position that, primarily, we favored an instructed delegation for Mr. Hoover from Texas; but later this paper took the attitude that if intrapartisan harmony could be brought about by an uninstructed delegation, while this paper was favorable to the Hoover candidacy, it would agree to the latter procedure to attain this end. At that time The Informer was under the impression, and had been so informed by some of the leaders in the anti-Creager movement, that they were not against Mr. Hoover, as so; that they had no particular candidate as such, but were chiefly concerned with the reign of vespest-pocket and proxy Republicanism in Texas. "Secretary Howe, calling himself a Republican and a candidate for the highest office and honor that can be given to a person who represents the state and nation, selects and appoints R. B. Craeger and his wicked un-Republican machine to manage, direct and control the public label for his candidacy, and this forces every decent Republican man, woman and child who loves the Republican party to oppose him. The Republican party to oppose him. The anti-Creagerites held that this objective could be best attained by sending an uninstructed delegation from Texas to the national parley of the Republican party, but that no fight would be waged upon Mr. Hoover's candidacy. These anti-administration Republicans also contended that Southern states should not instruct for and play a too important part in nominating presidential candidates for the party, and that the party's dependent wholly and solely upon states not of Dixieland. Ready To Revolt "Before I would support such an unholy combination of greed, hate, tyranny, graft, and cruelty, I would have on the party of my dead father, and cast my vote for Al Smith, Jesse Jones, or any one of the next June on the Democratic ticket. With rumors afloat that the anti-Creager opposition in Texas has developed or is fastly assuming an anti-Hoover aspect, and that certain combinations and agreements have been entered into between some of the Texas Republicans—who are, supposedly, the most likely to be involved with backers of other aspirants for the presidency via the Republican nomination, the Informer finds itself at the point where it can not support nor lend even silent encouragement to any movement which is hostile and inimical to Mr. Hoover, merely to get even with certain Texas Republicans who have supported the Republican with Republican principles, tenets, customs and traditions. "Bebesides being a Republican, I am a free man. No free man who rejoices party, who cherishes its tradition, tenets, and believes in American fair play can follow as a Republican, the man who has been a Hoover flying squadron of Texas. No paper in Texas has disagreed with the Crealer-Note regime and its exclusiveipartisan policy more than The Informer. but this paper also notes that until there arose a split and schism in the Texas Republican ranks over patronage distribution in this state, none of the leaders in the present revolt movement, except Captain John A. ("Jack") Elgin of San Antonio, has been a leader in the Republican alliances of Fort Worth, ever raised their voices in protest or sought to overthrow the Crealer-Note combination. "If my memory is not faulty, President Abel Lincoln said that a form of government—of the people, by the people and for the people. But in judging from their acts and statements, a form of government—of the people, by the people and for the people. They claim that the people have no rights, and that the Greer machine can distractish us from the general districts of Texas by simply refusing and neglecting to call for the purpose of nominating presidential electors and electing delegates to the Republican National Convention. The Informer holds no brief for the Creager-Nolte regime, nor has this paper anything in its journalistic heart against Congressman Wurzbach, moving spirit in the anti-Creager movement. The Informer is also a vocal critic of attitude on Negro participation in Republican affairs is well known, and while he has a host of colored friends in Texas (The Informer editor being one of them), some of his white political associates are rabid Negro hater; one of them boasting in his book *The Negro business was free from "Mexicans, "bizkers," cockroaches and dogs*. About Those Calls "They say that the calls issued in the different congressional districts are not valid," said the mayor, May 10, for the purpose of nominating electors and electing delegates to the Republican National Convention. City next June, is illegal and void, and that there is no such thing as a convention authorized by law for May 10. Still another anti-Hooverite is reported, to have been a ring leader in a mob which lynched a colored youth in his city some months ago. The police were eventually every Negro in his city, county and district. If Negroes had to elect him to public office, this same man would go down to defeat in a race for the office of official dog-catcher! The colored Republicans of Texas should heat the call of the Catholic Republicans of Texas, who are the Republican prescient conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, where delegates will be elected to the county conventions, which are slated for Tuesday, May 8, 1928; at which convention delegates will be elected to the state convention, which will be held at Dallas, "I wonder if the Crayer machine could franchise the Republicans of the 18 different congressional districts by just referral, each district by state," it does. If it does, they have another thought into federal or congressional district units. The state has nothing to do with the public voters living in them may act for themselves when those legal and refuse to act for the party fail and refuse to act. If the delegates at the state convention favor sending an instruction delegated to Kansas City, they have that right under the law; and The Informer holds to the opinion that such action would not be invade in the light of recent developments and the fact that the delegates have been instructed to vote for Mr. Hoover as long as his name is before the national convention. Some contend that, in case of a split, it will be good politics for the delegates to be instructed, in order that its chances of being seated by the contests and credentials committee might be enhanced; but the only two Southern states thus far elect contesting delegates to the national parley, have instructed all their delegates for Mr. Hoover; and the issue of legality and party regularity, rather than the candidate, has been instructed in contesting delegations, whether from Louisiana, Mississippi or Texas. "There is no law on the statute of Texas requiring or preventing congressional convention in every congressional district, the purpose of nominating district delegates to the Republican National Convention. The rules of the Republican national committee beheld by the governor the Republican party in Texas." The Informer has previously held and holds now that neither the Republican national committee member for Texas, nor the state central committee has the right to hog-tie the Republicans of Texas to any presidential candidate; but as Republican electors and American citizens they have a right to state their individual preference and work to the end of electing a delegation faction of the Republican party to the state legislature, fairly and squarely, and is not manipulated and accomplished by unfair and unprompted methods. The Actual Rules "These rules and the call issued by the Republican national committee invite, require and direct Republican members to attend a convention at a certain time and place named by the Republicans in each congressional district of every state, and elect delegates to the Republican National Convention. This state is required to hold a Republican state convention and elect four (4) delegates, four (4) alternate delegates and nominating two (2) presidential electors from each state. While some are supporting Mr. Hoover because they say he will carry out the Coolidge policy and program. The Informer is supporting him because we believe he will be a real president and will execute the policy and program which Herbert C. Hoover has advocated. This independence of official action was shown recently when Mr. Hoover abolished racial segregation in the department of commerce of Washington, D. C., and in the administration of the rehabilitation program in the flood area of the Mississippi River. In both instances he did not follow the lead of some one else, but rather followed the lead of the keeping and harmony with American ideals and institutions. "I challenge the Creager paper machine to put in lugar the vote of the Republican national committee requiring Republican delegates to meet in Washington of electing congressional, district and state congresional districts have the right to adopt or fix a basis of representation of the state convention, and an entirely new set of delegates to the national convention, and no man can be elected to the Republican national committee." Most assuredly, if Mr. Hoover, in quest of the presidential nomination, can perform such official acts which require much moral courage, fortitude and resuluteness, the Negroes of Texas will be able to win this candidacy to the limit, despite Mr. Hoover's state boosters. If nominated and elected, Herbert C. Hoover will be president of all the people, and, as American citizens and Republican electors, let us help to make possible his nomination and election. We must urge the state convention at Dallas to send a delegation instructed for the secretary of commerce, then let us perform this act in the same manner which characterize the action of Mr. Hoover in performing such official acts as have been tremendous in the past. The Negro race, but to the American nation and society in general. Insult To Intelligence "The Craiger paper machine has no right to order the Republicans of Texas to send their delegates from 500 or 800 miles out of Texas to Texas to send their delegates to Dallas, in order that he might pick for them the men whom he would want to send to the national convention. It is silly to think that the Republican committee committee coodoned a scheme, which is abused of scheme. It is a shaker upon the intelligence of Texas lawmakers to say, "We want to send delegates and legions such burden and Herbert C. Hoover is not a politician, but an eminent statesman and expert economist, whose grasp on public matters, both domestic and foreign, has no equal or counterpart on this hemisphere. Whether in harmony or discord, peace or strife, The Informer is for Herbert C. Hoover for the presidential nomination by the Republican party, and for his election next autumn. He will be the first Republican to go to the Republican precinct conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, and function for the best interests of the party, both state and national. OPINIONS National Benefit Agent Establishes New Sales Record The Houston office of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., reports two group insurance policies written by Mr. J. Pelk, a native Houstonian, selling the contract. Mr. Pelk began his career with the company in 1924, when it first entered the insurance business now in charge of the group department of the Southern division, with the Houston office. The $1,000,000 taken out by two colored organizations, viz.: International Longhorn's Association, Calvetton, H. H. Huntner, Calvetton, H. H. Huntner, and Ladies Anxiliary to International Longhorn's Association, Pearl N. North, president, $200,000. By this feast Mr. Polk has reached the goal most insurance underwriters want to achieve, even among the large companies operated by other races, and he is being congratulated and styled as the "millionaire." It is somewhat difficult to realize the economic value of such large amounts of insurance, yet every dollar is a potential claim which can be paid colored people; and this wide distribution of such a huge sum will mean economic benefits for several millions of the black race. parties of this state and especially upon Creager's little party, which exists for federal patronage only. “No congressional chairman or congressional executive committee can disfranchise the Republicans in a district by refusing, failing and neglecting to call in the district a congressional convention. If such is attempted, the loyal Republicans of the district may issue a call, as is directed by the national committee, fo r such a convention, and proceed to elect delegates and send them to the national convention. All congressional districts in Texas will do this and what can the boss of the patronage do about it? He can protest and by the fiat of his own statement say that the actions of the people are illegal and void, but the Republican national committee will decide that question, and not Mr. Creager.” Homely Philosophy Somewhere between childhood and age, laughter is usually lost. Little children are often silenced so that it would be very strange to hear their self-laugh. A group of merry children revel in the joy of forgotten scenes, forgotten dreams. Shall we not strive to save and cherish the great gift of laughter, that it may lighten and ease our way nearer the journey's end.
